Lately, I moved to arch too and while I was configuring my awesome wm I found out your channel, which helped me a lot. Thanks, man. It'll be awesome if you make a video about fzf. Good work!

I only discovered your channel last night and I've now watched all of your Arch videos - it was a very interesting watch. I've used Mint for a couple of months consistently as I'm going to need to use Linux when I graduate, now though I'm considering doing an Arch build, the process seems interesting and the pride you had when you built it by yourself is something I want to experience! Looking forward to more of your videos.

Can you update the quotes dynamically, from, say a quote database? (It's a nice quote, don't get me wrong, I just figured it'd get old pretty quickly.)
