Future-proof your skills with Linux, Python, vim & git as I share with you the most timeless and love-worthy tools in tech through my two great projects that work great together.

Planning a Video Series That Drives Message Home

This video series will be a tutorial on how to move away from Microsoft and Apple systems and will explore topics such as Windows 10, WSL2, LXD Containers, and programming projects. I'll also discuss the evolution of an idea, the pursuit of craft, the 80/20-rule, and how to do what you love for money. Join me on this journey to reach a wider audience and learn how to make the switch from Microsoft and Apple systems.

I’ve done a 3 videos in a row using Google Sheets. Feedback has been good. I can distil my message down very effectively in that format, and I’m sure reach a broader audience than with my long rambling format. I still like not editing video. Even this format, I generally do in one take. Life’s too short to edit video, unless you’re sincerely trying to make a living off it. I’m not. I’m in it for higher levels on the Maslow pyramid of needs, like community and stuff.

The long unedited and unscripted videos still let me just do my work and make videos out of it. But with a little planning, vision and revision, I can reach more people more effectively.

I’ll use YouTube playlists and pages on MikeLev.in to compel people into the correct linear sequence. Yes, think in terms of linear sequences of videos! Think in terms of how to keep people on those linear sequences. Drive up view-times per video and subsequent follow-up views of related videos. Lock ‘em in a chute. Microsoft does it at a massive profiteering level. Why can’t I for some social good? Make a page on the site that lays this all out, both to help me to keep on track and for those in my audience who might be interested.

It’ll start with that PC where I reset it to Windows 10 factory default. Then I’ll move along to a full WSL2 install with fullscreen Terminal (again). We generally have vim loaded on that full-screen for a daily journal. And yes, that’s the main message. I think it seems to be emerging as the main thing, but I’ll have “aside” videos where I:
