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.

I had the same thought.

They made a "micro fork" of chrome to support having it auto update to the system theme.

That's... Dedication. I guess. But it's dedication at the wrong spot for my tastes.

And having to hear him recall those forced keyboard commands just makes me itchy. Here you hit space to select, over there it's "d" for default. Here it's enter, this menu is actually vim, so it's !wq here...

Want to configure those monitors? Just come edit this file! Bleh. Hope you know the name of the things you want to touch!

Some of the dev tool suggestions are fine, but those are all standalone tools (mise, yay, lazy docker, etc).

Basically: I'm glad there's space for people to do this. It's not my cup of tea.

To much attention to things I don't care about. Too much magic in the things I do. Too much crap that's entirely specific to this guy (who the fuck wants a default top level hot key for opening Twitter. It's not me, that's for sure).
