    Is this the first distro that ships with brave ? Also pretty sure qbittorrent is more popular than transmission. It's also faster since it's not python.

    We need a bike video…

    Congrats on the new bike, OTB. Great review as always.

  • I tried Archolinux with bspwm. I found their configuration very bloated for my taste. I prefer a simpler look and feel. This distro also seems to be along that line. This would be fine for someone who wants something that works where they dont't want to do any configuration.

    Great video. How did you like your first motorcycle ride in many years? I think it is great that you did that. Good for you!!!

  • Tony Wise says:

    A very good reason for no video on a Saturday. Royal Enfield – lovely.

  • Got my first bike at 49! Nothing else like it! Wish I could get a nice British bike on this side of the pond…

  • Deech Vogt says:

    Steve, congrats on the new motorcycle. Perfectly understandable to have a play with the new shiny toy instead of making a video yesterday. I would have done the same thing if I'd been looking forward to something for over ten years. Thanks for another fair and balanced review video. As always, cheers and stay well!

  • Peppe says:

    Great that Enfield, splendid reason to un-Linux briefly 😉 Urxvt choice is probably instigated by Arcolinux; they have changed to that after the demise of Termite. If I am correct Hefftor is one of the maintainers/devs of Arcolinux.

  • Ronnie Rush says:

    Great Video, and yes I did the same, the late life crisis mine was a Triumph. Have fun and I hope the weather stays good 🙂

  • Nice one OTB the 650 Enfields are great machines you will have loads of smiles from this machine. Check out Stuart Fillingham on his You Tube channel for tests an installs for custom parts, seats, racks ect. Well worth a visit.
    Glad you have joined the motorcycling community save riding.

  • Did you have to upset me by showing me your gorgeous new bike Steve? I gave up riding at 61 and now I'm 67 but once a biker always a biker and my heart has been with Royal Enfield's since 1972 when I had a R.E. Continental GT.

  • Bruno Piras says:

    Why is it that when choosing expert install, the apps I choose to install, never do. Same thing happens with Arco and others…just wondering. Thanks for the vid OTB.

  • Johan B. says:

    Congrats on the 15.000 subs. I'm using Tela blue on Pop. Not a fan of a dock, but this was very nicely themed I must say.

  • A says:

    60 years young man! Love you & your videos.

  • Bruce Scott says:

    Absolutely Family is way more important than a video any day of the week!
    I say go for it damn the YT… 🙂
    Marvelous! Great looking bike! Once again being a bike lover too, I say read the above line again… LOL
    At 67 I still want one again and my kids said No Dad! 🙁
    HahaAH, Its Arch and yes we are spoiled to death with the user friendly distros… 😀 But is is quite nice!

    Thanks for the video OTB, now get out there and ride that new toy! Be Safe too!
    LLAP

  • btw, OTB runs arch.
    Bike looks awesome, well done on taking the leap to buying one.

  • Qbittorrent is better than Transmission in searching torrents.

  • A question to you (and others) who also publish your stuff on lbry/odysee: Where should we put the likes? I would love to leave the youtube channel, but where would that leave you? Don't you depend on us to put likes on youtube? Do you get the same "commision" from odysee? I doubt that.

  • Kenny P says:

    Be safe on your new bike

  • Rob Boudreau says:

    Congratulations on the Enfield, really nice ride. I have to say, I'm more than a few years older than you Steve, and I still ride. Figure as long as we enjoy it, and we're able, why not. Have fun, stay safe.

  • Nicholas Ng says:

    Cool bike. Stay safe. Peace 🙂

  • I literally just looked at the website for Hefftor Linux today for the first time, I grabbed the iso and thought I would check it out tomorrow and I went to youtube to see if there were reviews and this video popped up in my recommended feed on youtube before I even could type "hefftorlinux review" in the search bar! Thank you OTB!!

  • I've been trying A LOT of Arch based distros lately (Archcraft, etc) and this is one of my favorites so far. It's got some rough edges and papercuts but I can see where they're going with it so I'm going to stick with it for a while longer and see what develops. Seems a bit like it's trying to be the elementaryOS of Arch based systems. I like dark themes myself, but I totally agree that default Juno theme is kind of hard on the old peepers and I had to change it out to Materia straight after install.
    Oh, and the developer has some of those wallpapers from the greeter themes in the hefftor repos. Just need to search them up in pamac. Not sure why they’re not included by default.

  • Which is your based Linux distro used? Thank you.

  • Tai Dee says:

    Congratulations on the new motorbike. This is not a bad distro at all, OTB, however I don't really know why one wouldn't just use Arcolinux, it's already crazy themeable.

  • Paul Griffin says:

    I have a 10 year old laptop,just wondering if this distro would be OK to install on it..
