It's just clickbait like most of his videos, I never really liked Chriss' videos, the tip of the iceberg was when he told people to disable kernel mitigation for a presumable performance boost (I tested it with disconnected network, it was like 2% on my machine), which is just plain dumb.

Use whatever distro you like, just know that you don't have to distrohop for some program (DE or WM or whatever). I personally use endeavour, simply because I've used arch (and derivatives) for a while now and endeavour is just arch with sensible defaults and a lot of the configuration one would do anyway already done.

The short answer, as a ton of people already said in the comments of the video, is "hell no" it is not and it is most likely also not worth it. Back when the video came out I tested it (with unplugged network) on my system and the performance gain was ~1% which I'd consider well within the margin of error

Hyprland is decent, it's one of the better Wayland window managers, that being said it's still in beta and not complete. Also be aware, it's a window manager, not a desktop environment. It won't do much besides well managing windows, taskbar, start menu, notification demon,... have to all be installed and setup by you and the config is done in text files, not some gui.

Also the community is rather toxic, I've made similar experiences to this in the past when trying it out.

Factorio.

The factory must grow!

If you really want the deep dive, look into LFS (Linux from scratch), besides that I've always been the learning by doing kind of guy. Got a problem? Search a solution and read up on the intricacies of the problem

From what I recall veracrypt is basically the only option, but I've never bothered setting it up myself, i just use luks on everything these days, but you won't be able to use that with windows, though it might be possible using WSL, but I don't know

There's a simple reason why Mozilla/canonical does this and that is security fixes. Due to the difference in support cycles of Firefox and Ubuntu LTS versions fixes would have to be manually backported to the system Firefox version and newer versions won't run due to library dependencies. Snap solves all of that.

Don't get me wrong though, snap is still terrible, but other than flatpak or doing the work of backporting it's the only option to get security fixes to Ubuntu

Yes, line 28 defines 🍴which defines 👀 and all the structs inherit from 🍴

I have never heard of streaming a screen over bluetooth and I highly doubt that the bandwidth would be enough for even a few frames per second. Are you sure that your TVs bluetooth is for streaming a screen and not for audio only?

Imo any distro basically just works the same, I've never tried one of the "gaming" distros, but installing steam, proton and lutris is so straightforward that any distro will do imo. From there on it's just a matter of going onto protondb and figuring out tweaks for your games.

As for dual boot I highly recommend separate drives, windows likes to overwrite grub with every update if located on the same drive. From there on just do a basic Linux install and configure your bootloader to look for other bootable oses

Why do we need tmux if we have tiling window managers?

On the upside, if he's finished with this he has literally solved chess.

On the downside, the heat death of the universe will probably happen before he's able to finish this.
