Looks good!

I recently explored Zorin OS 18, as many Windows users are making the switch to it. Out of the box, it's a very similar experience to using Windows, but does it hold up?

I decided to redesign my channel to have a cleaner, minimal look. The new logo started to grow on me after a little bit of time. First redesign since my rebrand in 2023.

What's your favorite game from every Nintendo console you've owned?

GC: Super Mario Sunshine or Paper Mario: TTYD
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Smash Bros Brawl
Wii U: Splatoon
DS: Mario Kart DS
Switch 1: Smash Bros Ultimate
Switch 2: Donkey Kong Bananza

This was a tough one for some consoles. Lol

I recently upgraded to the 9070 XT for a better Linux experience, a better gaming experience, and more VRAM over my RTX 3070. I ran some benchmarks, including a DaVinci Resolve render test, and I'm impressed!

Nice! I’ve liked Mint and CachyOS out of the distros I tried in recent times.

Should You Switch to Linux Mint?

I daily drove Linux Mint for the whole month of August! From productivity, to gaming, and general tasks and customization, Linux Mint offered plenty of good with some issues along the way. Here's my full experience with Mint: youtu.be/Ma7cGwkR7xE

Bad news: I decided to put a video I had in mind on the back burner for the time being at the very least as I wasn't pleased with how it was turning out.

Good news: I decided to make the main video I worked on for the past month come out the 31st instead of early September!

I made a new Wait a Tech Minute! This episode, I talk about incognito mode, what it actually does, and clear up misconceptions about it!:

I always say if you’re cringing at your old work, it just means you’re getting better

Made a new Wait a Tech Minute! Ever wonder why people tell you that you should get a VPN? But what is a VPN and what does it actually do? I explain all that in this short!:

YouTube video by JustSomeTechie macOS 26 Public Beta in 5 Minutes! – Liquid Glass, Spotlight & More!

MacOS Tahoe/26’s public beta is here, and I explore what it has to offer! Between what to expect features wise in the final release and what’s currently being buggy. Keep in mind, it’s still a beta after all!

Safe to say I’ll be switching to Linux Mint for a month starting tomorrow. Hoping it goes well! Think the biggest hurdles will be Adobe alternatives and I can’t play games with kernel level anticheats.

It looks like Linux Mint will likely be what I’ll be daily driving for the month of August! There’s still a chance to turn the tables as I’m taking the final result at the end of the day July 31st. Lowkey surprised CachyOS isn’t in the lead.

Thank you all for 600 subscribers! At this rate, I just might be able to get to 1K by the end of the year! As usual, more content is on its way!

Rest easy, prince (of darkness).

YouTube video by JustSomeTechie You’re Not Crazy – Social Media Is Actually Messing with Your Mind

I decided to polish this video and add a little more visuals in the beginning. Social media is getting more unhinged, but we are able to take back control. I talk about points not as many people talk about in this video:

I need to do the same whether going to the gym or doing stuff at home. Would aid in my weight loss journey.

My CachyOS video surpassed 20K views AND my Linux gaming video! Once again, thank you all for the insane support on these videos! I have more Linux content ideas in mind I'm sure y'all will love!

My "Is Linux Gaming FINALLY Ready in 2025?" video is currently at 18,995 views, 685.6 watch hours, and it gained me 85 subscribers!

My "CachyOS: Better Than Linux Mint?" video is currently at 18,410 views, 760.3 watch hours, and it gained me 92 subscribers!

Crazy that the CachyOS video is about to surpass the Linux gaming video soon! Never would've expected that honestly! Once again, thank you all for the support on these videos! Hoping to make another Linux video later this month!

#CachyOS #LinuxMint #LinuxGaming

Decided to give the video a better thumbnail and title. Think I made the mistake of uploading it too late in the day initially, but if you haven't watched it, here it is!:

New video!: youtu.be/5UkKPxznXAE

Some change of plans:

The Switch 2 A Month Later video will be pushed back by a month to help with coming up with more things to say about it and I want to prioritize what I'm working on.

The social media video is currently being edited and hopefully finished this week!

Surprised this hasn't already been a feature tbh.

You can now get notifications when accounts you follow post on Bluesky.

Kinda surprised Bluesky hasn't already done this, but still welcomed of course.

Hoping that I can find a pretty good mic on sale for Prime Day and elsewhere this week. Improving audio quality in my videos has been something I've been wanting to do for some time now. Any possible recommendations? Upgrading from a Blue Snowball ICE.

Would be fantastic.

I don’t fall asleep with earbuds in very often, but hopefully it works for those who normally do.

Insane it's the 2nd half of 2025 already! Here's a little roadmap of what's to come!:

Social Media & Mental Health | Voiceover Stage 🎙️
Switch 2 A Month Later | Planning Stage 📝
MacOS Tahoe Public Beta video | Mid-late July?
Arch Linux video | Late July?
