Linkarzu Podcast | Neovim, macOS, Emacs, Linux, Terminals and more.

Echasnovski is the creator of mini.nvim, as per the website: "Library of 40+ independent Lua modules improving overall Neovim (version 0.9 and higher) experience with minimal effort." He's also the creator of MiniMax:"MiniMax is a collection of fully working self-contained Neovim configs. All of the them: Use mostly MINI to showcase its capabilities. Provide out of the box a stable, polished, and feature rich Neovim experience. Share minimal structure with potential to build upon. Contain extensively commented config files meant to be read." The interview is over 3 hours long, so it is split in 2. Part 2 is going to be released soonVideo:https://youtu.be/ypJTkwarAVEWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:01:36 - How do we pronounce your name00:04:23 - What do you do in the neovim community?00:07:53 - Neovim 0.5 and the wild wild west of lua plugins00:10:23 - We've been planning this interview for over 6 months00:12:20 - Echasnovski's ban on reddit00:14:59 - Colorscheme theory (that I didn't understand, not normie friendly)00:22:10 - Color theory is very complex as everyone is different00:23:30 - Gruvbox is for old people, highly saturated colors00:27:15 - Echasnovski created the default Neovim colorscheme00:27:38 - Justin Keyes also likes boring colors.

This is the 2nd time (or third time, would be forth but he no showed no called me once, MF) that Vimothée Chalamet AKA @sylvanfranklin shows up in my channel. In the last interview we discussed about Neovim, drugs (including Adderall), and many other topics. But it seems that as of Q4 2025 he's going for the kefir, kombucha, yoga pants, breathing techniques, pachamama and on his way to become a zen monk. Or maybe not. Let's see what he's up to because he changes his mind every couple of months.Video:https://youtube.com/live/vLfaiRHT6boWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enough

Stability wisdom and a peaceful life, or bleeding edge? Some say Debian is a legacy distro with legacy packages, some say Arch gives them nightmares. I'm still trying to get a response for the question I've been asking in all these interviews, which distro should I try first 😂 So who is right then, who should we trust?Video:https://youtu.be/pkLG2SwR7J8Participants: https://youtube.com/⁨@AndreaBorman⁩https://youtube.com/⁨@DistroTube⁩https://youtube.com/@tony-btwhttps://youtube.com/@LinuxRenaissanceWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:01:55 - 4 linux queens vs 1 mac gigachad00:03:23 - Andrea Borman00:06:51 - DistroTube00:10:44 - Darth00:14:21 - Tony00:17:53 - Darth's hat and red hat00:20:30 - FreeBSD00:21:27 - Andrea Borman Demo00:24:45 - SuperChat by Darth00:26:36 - DistroTube Demo00:30:37 - Wheres DT from and weather00:32:30 - DT switching to CachyOS and audio issues00:36:42 - Copyright strikes00:41:25 - DT strikes tony on the "Propietary Garbage" phrase00:41:53 - Andrea issues with ads, brave, firefox, chromium00:43:45 - Darth demo00:49:15 - Wallpapers do most of the heavy lifting when ricing00:49:57 - Transparent terminal?00:50:45 - Tony's demo (OXWM)00:53:49 - Only If you do YouTube you need more than 1 monitor00:56:01 - Andrea, why Debian and not Arch00:59:23 - DT's thoughts on Debian01:01:49 - Darths thoughts on Arch as a Debian user01:06:18 - Gaming and streaming at the same time on Debian01:08:08 - Malware in the AUR01:09:26 - DT: Do you trust the AUR with your soul?01:10:23 - Andrea dissing on the AUR01:11:54 - Dependencies and the chaotic AUR01:13:48 - Tony's thoughts on Debian01:14:20 - Debian is gentoo with a GUI installer01:16:13 - Dependency hell in Debian01:17:05 - Thoughts on Omarchy01:25:02 - Tonarchy01:27:32 - X11 vs Wayland

Kovid Goyal is the creator of the Kitty terminal and the Calibre e-book reader. We had an interview around 4 months ago. After that interview, I became a fan of the myth, the legend. So much so that I switched back from Ghostty to Kitty as my main terminal. Well, not just because, but because he implemented a feature I was missing in Ghostty: Sessions. So I was able to replace my beloved tmux with kitty and I've been running without tmux for a few months now, it's been good.Video:https://youtu.be/SY8L-cj4x6kWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:02:31 - 2nd time00:03:24 - choose-files kitten image and video preview demo00:07:30 - Does it replace the open file dialogue on macOS or just Linux?00:09:13 - Why do you create all these protocols and tools?00:10:34 - The itch of improving your workflow.

I've been thinking about Linux lately, a lot. But I'm still not sure which distro to go with, everyone keeps saying arch, but my brain, wisdom and soul say Debian. So when I find someone else that went down this path, I want to learn and hear more about it.

We talk about how we work and if we make things harder than they should be. We ask if using many tools, monitors, and configs really helps or just makes life more complex. We talk about macOS, Linux, Omarchy, Nix, and window managers. Everyone shares how they set up their system and what they think is best. It is a long talk with many ideas, jokes, and real thoughts about how people use computers today.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/uA8lWjEWEmYWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:02:32 - Do we over engineer our workflow, should we be like René Rebe?00:07:42 - Vimothée joined us, so we're not alone00:09:29 - Topics we're covering00:10:28 - Who is @tony-btw00:11:36 - Who is @henrymisc00:13:50 - Single or multiple monitors?00:19:03 - ThePrimeagen workflow00:20:31 - Are ultrawide monitors a waste of money and time?00:26:21 - Demo how I use spaces in macOS00:28:07 - Demo tony space configuration00:29:42 - Why not multiple apps on the screen so you can be a 10X dev?00:30:23 - The web development lie, you need tiles or multiple monitors00:30:48 - nappy nappy time00:36:16 - Is it bad to get used to work with multiple monitors?00:39:51 - What about a keyboard cetric workflow00:43:54 - Mouseless workflo?00:45:34 - Scrolling window manager, niri, bloat?00:52:23 - Omarchy thoughs, Henry00:54:59 - Omarchy and Tony00:59:31 - What would you recommend to someone just starting?01:09:19 - Real tony's thoughts on Omarchy01:16:51 - Hendrik, are you switching to Linux?01:19:21 - What would you say to a macOS user Tony?01:22:31 - Thoughts on Raycast01:25:24 - Joshua Blais joining01:32:09 - Joshua Blais thought's on voldemort's OS01:40:40 - Reading super chat by GenX01:43:53 - Goodbye Henry01:46:39 - I need help to fight these 2 FOSS lunatics01:51:26 - macOS with yabai and SIP01:54:11 - Home folder and finder01:59:08 - Thoughts on Nix02:02:18 - Has nix broken for you guys?02:03:21 - Is nix an OS, what is home manager?02:05:20 - Which shell do you guys use?02:09:13 - Josh thoughts on multiple monitors, tiles, ultra wides02:10:20 - Tony thoughts on Emacs02:12:35 - What's the best way to start with emacs?02:15:01 - Final words02:16:47 - Stream setup and initial conversation

Let's meet Andrew Ferrier, the creator of the neovim plugin debugprint.nvim debugprint is a NeoVim plugin that simplifies debugging for those who prefer a low-tech approach. Instead of using a sophisticated debugger like nvim-dap, some people prefer using a 'print'-like statement to trace the output during execution. With debugprint, you can insert these statements, including the values of variables, relevant to the language you're editing.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/ae-C0hXsZ0gWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Intro00:01:57 - Andrew also owns wrapping.nvim00:02:27 - debugprint.nvim repo overview00:05:30 - debugprint.nvim demo00:09:55 - undo and redo debug statements00:13:46 - demo with a lua file00:15:02 - mini.nvim for hightlight color00:19:24 - What about unsupported languages?00:20:26 - add custom filetypes00:23:22 - console.info console.warn javascript typescript00:25:31 - Surround feature00:27:43 - Use in visual mode00:28:33 - Operator pending expressions00:33:32 - Put contents in registries00:35:32 - You can move the print statements00:36:21 - When did you start with neovim?00:38:18 - Thoughts on emacs and other editors00:39:46 - Thoughts on neovim distros00:40:55 - Who is andrew, where find him00:42:35 - YouTube channel?00:43:20 - experience maintaining open source00:46:45 - File explorer in Neovim00:49:59 - Colorscheme gruvbox00:51:24 - Tool to take notes00:52:05 - Tool to push to github, tig00:53:12 - Thoughts on Tmux00:54:32 - Why Linux for personal use00:56:05 - Arch linux on desktop00:56:25 - Debian on servers, chad00:58:17 - Thoughts on Windows01:00:06 - Window manager, i301:01:33 - Single or multiple monitors01:02:20 - Terminal emulator, kitty01:02:58 - Keyboard, qwerty layout01:03:52 - Thoughts on AI01:05:57 - Working on any other projects01:06:32 - wrapping.nvim01:07:42 - Dotfiles repo01:08:17 - favorite terminal tools01:08:38 - lf file manager01:08:56 - entr to re-run make command01:11:44 - Favorite neovim plugins01:17:25 - Thoughts on homelab01:19:07 - Favorite music bands01:19:41 - Favorite movies01:20:48 - Videogames?

I used to romanticize the idea of being a “tech influencer.” In this episode, I talk with three creators I deeply respect: @JoshMedeski , @nikolovlazar , and @JoshuaBlais what it’s actually like behind the scenes. We dive into personal setups, struggles with content creation, balancing real life and YouTube, and the mental toll of staying “relevant” in the tech space. If you’re into Neovim, Emacs, Linux, macOS, or just want to hear honest takes on the tech creator "lifestyle" (I know, chatgpt sometimes likes to write too much nonsense), this one is for you.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/m2MeLxz-s_wWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:01:54 - What is this video about?00:03:14 - Who is Josh Medeski00:03:57 - Who is Lazar Nikolov00:04:41 - Who is Joshua Blais00:05:38 - Medeski's spacemacs experience00:06:39 - Medeski's setup00:07:16 - Medeski switched to Aerospace00:09:43 - Why Medeski uses Obsidian00:11:36 - Nikolov's setup00:13:34 - yellow dot blinking tmux00:15:11 - Nikolov jetbrains exploration00:15:35 - Blais setup, emacs and linux00:18:46 - hardtime.nvim00:19:12 - Things learned as tech influencer00:19:30 - Medeski00:22:43 - Nikolov00:24:55 - Blais00:26:08 - linkarzu00:27:05 - Do you have social media presence?00:31:42 - Tweet from emacs00:32:06 - Struggles keep up with latest00:34:26 - Pewdipie linux video00:34:55 - Lazar struggles00:36:20 - Blais struggles00:37:57 - Evergreen content?00:39:03 - Medeski experience with vision pro00:40:44 - Linkarzu experience as new youtuber00:45:12 - Create script for videos?00:47:23 - How you feel on tech influencer term00:51:29 - Bad youtube experiences?00:51:44 - Medeski00:53:56 - Nikolov benq monitor00:57:08 - Blais00:58:12 - Linkarzu reddit drama00:59:49 - Work life balance Medeski01:01:39 - Nikolov01:02:57 - Blais01:04:15 - Linkarzu01:06:44 - Binge watch youtube?01:09:02 - Thoughts on sharing dotfiles01:09:20 - Medeski01:11:38 - Nikolov01:12:57 - Blais01:14:06 - Linkarzu01:16:14 - 1password CLI01:16:50 - unixpass password store01:17:46 - Would you take sponsorship just for money01:22:46 - Recommend start a youtube channel?01:28:26 - Niching down?01:34:26 - Where to find josh medeski01:35:48 - Where to find Lazar Nikolov01:36:47 - Where to find Joshua Blais

I write a lot of Markdown in Neovim, and I was looking for a tool that could understand the grammar in my document and give me suggestions and easily help me find mistakes, similar to the way Grammarly works. I found harper, Installed it, and I have been using it ever since. In this video I go over the history of Harper, a quick demo, and get to know it's author, Elijah Potter, a bit more. Harper not only works in Neovim, but it also works in Emacs, Obsidian, Zed, VScode, Helix and as a WordPress pluginLink to the video:https://youtu.be/l9D7M1gIY8IWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - harper demo00:02:16 - harper runs locally00:03:35 - in Neovim is a language server00:04:50 - available in obsidian emacs helix zed vs code00:06:05 - demo as a wordpress plugin00:06:38 - chrome extension coming soon00:07:14 - other languages besides english?00:09:35 - open source, PRs for other languages accepted00:09:55 - Harper and Automattic00:12:05 - techcrunch article00:12:47 - working on harper alone?00:13:45 - how and where to submit issues00:16:08 - FAQs00:16:55 - harper chrome extension00:17:55 - harper desktop application idea00:20:33 - harper in emacs?00:21:38 - elijah's blog00:24:05 - experience maintaining open source00:27:20 - favorite music artists00:28:50 - favorite movies00:30:35 - video games00:30:55 - Elijah is 12 years old00:32:28 - tool to take notes00:34:20 - Arch, even though looks like a mac guy00:37:35 - started with linux?00:40:55 - thoughts on macos00:42:30 - window manager hyprland00:42:50 - hyprland master mode00:44:06 - single or multiple monitors00:46:35 - wezterm00:47:45 - wezterm max_fps setting00:49:45 - other terminals?00:51:00 - why Neovim?00:53:47 - neovim experience when starting00:59:15 - is your neovim config done?01:03:00 - thoughts on neovim distros01:04:55 - which-key01:06:13 - neovim file explorer nvim-tree01:07:40 - favorite neovim plugins telescope leap.nvim01:08:25 - smear-cursor.nvim neovide cursor animation01:09:38 - neovim colorscheme, why light mode01:11:53 - modus_vivendi modus_operandi01:12:28 - tool to push to github, lazygit01:13:35 - why tmux?01:14:40 - keyboard01:15:30 - use of AI01:16:55 - other projects, ofc and tatum01:19:50 - favorite terminal tools01:20:55 - favorite desktop apps01:22:00 - homelab?01:24:22 - linkarzu harper video

I recently asked in the Neovim subreddit if any plugin/distro/core maintainers would be interested in participating in these casual interviews, and HiPhish was kind enough to reach out to share more about the plugin rainbow-delimiters.nvim.In this video you will not just learn about the plugin, but many other things, like, what's HiPhish's OS of choice, the way to manage Neovim plugins not with a package manager but using git submodules, and much more.Link to the video:https://youtu.be/e8IHILxKqZsWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - rainbow-delimiters.nvim demo00:05:15 - fork of a different plugin00:07:37 - change strategy to local00:09:02 - original plugin didnt use tree-sitter00:09:30 - downside of tree-sitter support for each lang00:09:45 - open a PR to support new languages00:12:20 - do you get a lot of requests for new langs?00:13:15 - burdain of managing open source repo00:14:45 - support aspect of open source00:16:23 - future of the plugin00:17:46 - how long using neovim00:19:00 - neovim didn't start with lua00:19:55 - why start using vim in the first place00:24:07 - vim before touch typing00:26:05 - keyboard keychron k100:29:25 - thoughts on split keyboards00:30:25 - operating system void linux00:31:55 - running void linux for 5 years00:32:14 - why not arch00:32:59 - why left macOS, no updates00:34:32 - are you forced to use mac in companies?00:35:45 - thoughts on Windows00:36:43 - linkarzu switching to linux?00:38:47 - coworkers understand neovim?00:40:08 - open source to have control00:41:23 - screen sharing and neovim?00:42:38 - thoughts on emacs00:44:45 - neovim and python00:46:51 - videogames street of rage 400:48:04 - reading books00:50:31 - librera00:51:35 - clear cookies to fight doomscrolling00:53:20 - note taking app neovim00:54:10 - linux window manager kde plasma bspwm00:58:05 - x11 wayland hperland01:00:24 - thoughts on single app on screen?01:02:00 - monocle mode in bspwm01:02:35 - terminal alacritty01:04:55 - thoughts on ghostty01:07:15 - thoughts on tmux01:09:30 - own neovim config or distribution01:12:12 - book practical vim01:13:10 - how do you know what you don't know01:16:00 - nvim-cmp or blink.cmp01:17:03 - neovim package manager git submodules01:20:40 - why git submodules01:21:50 - hiphish blog01:23:40 - neovim file explorer nerdtree01:24:00 - neovim colorscheme solarized or selenized01:24:55 - tool to push to github fugitive.vim01:26:00 - thoughts on AI01:29:45 - HTMX and alpine.js01:33:00 - neovim and javascript coding01:33:35 - currently learning elixir01:34:30 - favorite CLI tools01:35:50 - favorite linux applications01:36:20 - favorite neovim plugins neotest01:38:25 - fugitive telescope vim-dirvish vim-win01:41:00 - hiphish config in dotfiles01:41:45 - homelab01:44:25 - install rainbow-delimiters.nvim
