Job Change

it is time for a job change and it's one that you know has kind of been a long time coming but I've been it manager or am currently an IT manager for my day job I've been doing YouTube for the past 5 years which I've really enjoyed doing but I need to put more time into becoming a developer and you might be thinking well Titus don't you have like the windows toolbox and and utility and all that other stuff so you kind of already are a developer yeah but I really haven't put much time into it not the time that it really needs to become the best a and I really know it it can get there so I I want to kind of take you through these things when it comes to one in the windows utility and all the different things I've done just in the past week because past couple weeks really where I've dedicated tons of time into it and then also talk about the Linux toolbox because many windows users going to Linux are going to want something that just like a one button fix or hey I want all these customizations and you just push one thing and it just does it it sees what type of system you're on and then automatically adjusts everything you need for that and I have all the knowledge to do both those things and I'm like I just need to sit down and do it so let's get on the desktop show you kind of where Windows utility is and kind of where I see Linux toolbox kind of going too because we have these these both these tools and I'm really developing at such a rapid rate and I want to just share with you kind of what the future looks like and all the contributors and sponsors and other stuff that has happened with specifically these two pieces of software and why I'm just kind of jazzed just excited so let's get into it so first off on this I have this release schedule I might have talked about this in a prior video but uh We've really expanded this and when I say we I got to really show all the contributors just in the past two weeks where it doesn't feel like I've done much over here on YouTube um every single one of these line items is a poll request which is a code review that I've done or I've committed extra code to uh and I wanted to actually do probably a full windows utility kind of going over all these changes but there's been a a few poll requests just just as I've kind of gone through here as you see we got some new contributors and I'm averaging about three to four new poll requests every single day to this project and just to give you an idea of how popular this project has become this was the last stable release I've put out at the very end of June it has already been run almost 300,000 times in just two weeks so that's that that's a lot of usage that is a lot of users uh unless that's just somebody with a bot out there really just downloading this thing like crazy kind of wanted to go through and show just the different automation that's also gone into this because there's been a lot of contribution specifically with automation uh cicd type deployments where we now have documentation with a lot of this where if you go into here and you need any when youtil documentation go hey what's going on how do you run it there's this introduction we have a basic user guide where it gives just a nice little bookmarks and go hey what about uh this type of thing what's going here we still have to fill out some of this but the the bones are all here and anybody can submit this and it'll just automatically update all this documentation on any deployment or any PLL requests we get and adding this in was kind of a huge thing so you can see kind of going into driver integration Vin toy under kind of understanding microwind and I'm really going to be putting a lot more time in microwind h as well because that's just something I really want to put some more polish on because right now I'd say that's the weakest part of the toolbox right now uh that has the most issues it works pretty good for like Windows 11 isos but sometimes on windowss 10 it's like eh it could be better and the automated releases that we have over here uh also have new scripts up so like let's say you want to see like the latest and greatest of the new toolbox we now have a windev branch so let's launch into that and then we're going to go launch terminal with admin and I'm going to paste this in just to kind of showcase some of the the cool new features so we'll have this and I'll I'll do a deep dive video kind of overc casing all those different PRS because there's just so much going on from progress bars to extra icons down here to a little bit more cleaner layout a lot more clarity in the actual presentation uh you can see a couple of these things have been changed around uh and some things have actually been removed some things have been added uh but the big thing here is it just works and is a lot more seamless as we put a lot more development time directly into here uh and and I wanted to actually add a sponsors button to just say hey anybody that sponsors me on GitHub I want to put you directly in the toolbox just with a click of a button kind of is a little Easter egg for those that do donate monthly over on uh GitHub so if you do it's actually going to show me in the REM me portion of the actual wi utility project and I'm also going to add this to the Linux utility project as there's a lot of carryover between all the things I've learned with Windows utility that I can carry into other pieces of software and it is just so darn cool I have just been absolutely enamored with doing this so I want to show you the Linux toolbox right now too as most people have seen this and there's other videos on the channel kind of going into it but let me show you kind of what's in store to the future why I want to dedicate at least the next month really diving deep into Linux trying out different ones uh and making sure it's agnostic as well between distributions so whether you're on a Debian or Ubuntu based distribution or an arch based distribution this this Toolbox will work for you so I I didn't want to mess with the naming scheme too much so instead of win util it's called Lin util and this is kind of where it's at right now the infancy stages as I just did my very first public release yesterday and uh I haven't even updated any of the screenshots it's actually written in Rust and you might be thinking Titus uh did you just learn rust over night and then just didn't tell anybody no and before you say hey is it like GPT no we we tried that it's it's pretty hilarious I actually went on live stream on Titus Tech talk and we tried to use GPT to do some of stuff it always ends a disaster by the way if you just need Clarity of like a line of syntax great use GPT all day long but if you wanted to write a full function for you you're gonna be in for a wild ride so I have plenty of live streams showing that but no actually a big shout out to just Linux user he was actually wanted to help me out Andre over here uh he actually wrote a lot of the shell and I I added a few things and Polished it a little bit on some things I was having issue with but he was like 90 something per of the actual rust code came from him so I want to shout him out first and then go into how this thing runs just like Linux utility or the windows utility I wanted a oneline run now right now we're doing it kind of a little long curl command I'm going to probably fix this I'll probably make uh Chris titus. comom Lin util or Lin uh or maybe I just call it Linux I don't know what all tell me in chat tell me in the comments what do you want that shortcut to be is I'll just shortcut this down so it's not this long uh executable so then you can just type it in to your sh so let's uh go ahead and quit out of this so from our bash or any terminal you could do this in mint Ubuntu whatever it is I'm going to just put this one command in launch it and you'll notice you now have a very simple menu now this menu can do a lot of different things but if you want my bash prompt um and just kind of show this let's say we remove bash RC and let's relaunch real fast you'll now see my my all my bash configurations wiped out right uh and we can even go further and just like delete Starship and completely remove this on a fresh install the idea behind this is to go back through all my library of videos and instead of having you try and follow around and copy and paste and modify it to your drro this will just detect everything and do it for you so let's do it so I'm going to curl it again and from here let's set up the bash prompt it'll go ahead download any dependencies missing on your system it'll detect what's missing copy anything that needs to be copied redo the configuration install fast fetch any other dependencies that are needed to make your life easier such as zide Starship all those things in just a matter of seconds so then you quit out you launch back in and everything's fixed so the cool thing here is you take an hour or two of tweaking in the old days of doing it and I can build it into just Seconds of runtime and fix your system and we could do that across the board so my neovim configuration I put that in there as well I also have a couple different customizations depending on where you are in your Linux Journey so uh the system setup's not done yet but I was doing hey if you're building out pieces of software you know building from source that type of thing I have a build prerequisites that just installs all the essential tools like make and cmake and uh build Essentials and those types of things it'll just install them all for you and then it's good or let's say you want a game on Linux a gaming dependencies button where you just click it it'll install Steam lutrus proton GE do all the samee customizations to your system and then your gaming off and going so you got 32-bit libraries on there and all the stuff's ready to go and uh that that's that's pretty cool right so that's the idea behind the system setup and then for the Titus dot files there's a lot of times where people have dot files in Linux you're like hey I need this customization but I just don't know how they customize that uh so like I have a custom roofi file that has this custom launcher and what roofi looks like without this which let's just wipe out my whole Roi configuration we're just going to go do config roofi and we're just going to delete the entire Roi directory so now when I try and do the Roy command this is what it looks like without any customization kind of sucks right but again incomes a to Tool we launch into it we just go down into dot files and say hey uh fix my roofy all right about one two three like three or four seconds there right now let lawn trophy seamless right just seconds and that's I really am just obsessed with getting all these things done in a granular format that just fixes systems whether it's on Arch whether it's on Debbie and Ubuntu and then you can just do all these customizations with a click of a button and uh I think it's great so that's that's why I'm so excited about this stuff because we can we we're doing it right now and it's great and and kind of how I'm able to do this is with a lot of your support with YouTube whether it's the support on the Windows toolbox side of things people have bought the $10 wrapper but the big thing here is I really in every one of these big projects I'm just going to list sponsors my GitHub sponsors because these are just monthly like $5 a month just comes into my GitHub and that's 95% it's better than any twitch sub or YouTube's sub I really appreciate those too those help out uh but but for the GitHub projects like this where you really want to support the development directly uh doing a GitHub sponsor is a huge thing so I'm going to add that as kind of an Easter egg on all my projects into a reme file and then just as like a somewhere in the actual program itself it'll probably be hidden in like a settings menu and kind of like the about menu kind of thing and then also all the contributors that actually helped kind of push me forward I'm able to learn code so much faster learn a lot of these complex things because of all these contributors and their contributions and say hey Titus you're screwing up here you need to do this and then they'll put a PR in and then I can learn all that stuff so when we look at just like the cicd uh deployments and those types of things where it's just this continuous automation that kind of goes these workflows have gotten to where we're going through and we're just running tons of GitHub actions every time hey this happens do XYZ kind of thing and I am just so darn excited about this I think it's amazing I think we're going to do great things with it and really take F to just a level uh that is very and show show the world hey fast projects can work in every single operating system and honestly I think I will be able to make enough money to sustain it even with like reduced YouTube videos and those types of things and then just live stream this as it goes on so whether it's over on Twitch or Titus Tech talk if you want to see it and you're like hey I'm jonesing to talk or see it see some a video from Titus typically I'll be live streaming a lot of this so like here like hey Titus I have a great idea for this just tell me you can tell me in the comments on this video but also on a live stream and uh I'm just really excited for this job change really I I I'm still doing YouTube I'm still doing my day job so it's not really a change per se I'm just putting a lot more time and effort behind this because I think this is going to help out a ton of people and uh I look forward to the future
