Thank you for the kind words about my video and of course for sharing it here.

Have you had a chance to watch my other video about KDE?
How To Use a Global Dark Theme in KDE Plasma 5 (Breeze-Dark) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjjboRH1eNA

Use! It explains why Steve Riley said Dark Themes were hard on his eyes. He was probably referring to its browser inconsistency.

I love the quality and style of your videos. You have obviously prepared a script to guide your monologue and don't just "wing it", as so many video makers do. And, you don't use them as a vehicle to haul your nads around for everyone to admire.

Have you ever considered making a video about Btrfs? I adopted it two years ago and soon added Snapper to manage it, although I turned off Timeline in Snapper and wrote my own script to use it when I wanted to create snapshots. Oshunluvr and I posted a series of messages in this forum documenting our uses and explorations. Oshunluvr' posts are very informative.

Another app that is begging for your professional treatment is Kate, an extremely power editor. I used it professionally to code in house client-server applications using the Qt API. For example, one can use it to search hundreds, or even thousands of text files simultaneously, and the hits display in a panel which is interactive with the main editor panel. It is almost a reincarnation of Emacs, but without the kitchen sink!

Yea, the browser thing could be the issue but for me it's just the brightness in general. I have very poor eyesight too.

Thank you very much for the kind words. You're right, I do have a script for my videos and while I occasionally go off script, it is rare and very minimal. I don't always read it word for word but I never go on tangents.

I actually chose to do it this way because I can't stand it when people ramble in videos. It is just so irritating when people post 39:00 videos with only 2:00 of substance, I don't even understand how those people have 10,000+ subscriptions. I can't stand filler but seems to work for them.

I hadn't considered this but is something I'll put on my list. This will take a while to get to though since it would be rather extensive to discuss.

I have considered doing a video on Kate. I use Kate every day, not as my primary but it is heavily dependent in my video workflow. I am actually a KDE Plasma user primarily though I don't make a fuss about that because I don't like the idea of youtubers constantly advertising any particular DE or any particular distro. There are YouTubers that are known as the "Manjaro guy" or the "Antergos guy" or etc and I want to be known as "the guy who makes great videos about everything Linux".

Anyway, Konversation is on my list as well and Kate is certainly going to be added to the list. I spoke with some Kate developers in the past about adding some features from Sublime Text like multiple cursors support . . . I can't wait until Kate can be the Sublime replacement.
