So this is about setting up a UI.. with no screenshots of the UI. Nice

I skipped through the 38 minutes and landed on like 8 instances were he was switching themes/wallpaper and 4 showing of bash scripts that opens a webpage. It looks like all the fluxbox/openbox themed minimal desktops in the 2000s - function follows form. Feels really performative.

Its basically LARBS or an autoricing script. But its happening in kind of a cultural moment where Linux gaming is good enough and Windows is bad enough for people to see ricing and say "I want that!"

I think it is function follows form, but it turns out a lot of people actually want that.

Not to mention - if you're coming from Windows or MacOS and you've never had real tiling before, you could install a bunch of goofy electron launchers or whatever and still get form improvements.

I'm not a Rails guy, so I've always kind of thought their scaffolding system was a little silly. It's going to autogenerate a config and then I also have to edit it?

But I'm coming to terms with the idea that there is actually tremendous value to lowering the barrier to entry as much as possible, and providing scaffolding for people to learn along the way
