About

I post things related to computers, programming, and EE. Since I use Linux I get questions about it. Here's a FAQ: Q: What Distro do you use? A: kubuntu, whatever the newest LTS is. Q: What DE do you use? A: KDE Plasma 5 Q: Why don't you use Arch, Gentoo, slackware, etc A: Ubuntu "Just Works" for me. Some other info about how I make videos: Camera: Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k Editing Software: Davinci Resolve (Yes, I edit in Linux as well) If you would like to send something in to the channel you can send me a DM on Discord, or email me at the address in the details on my channels about page Direct Paypal Donate: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=8SFF6UP3ZPH28
