I might have not understood the exact use-case, but for using gifs or videos (via mpv) as a background there's XWinwrap.

There are probably better forks with more functionality

Just curious before distro-hopping.

What functionality does the reproducibility of nixOS serve to a user (like me) with only one desktop. Like I won't be installing the same system multiple times, I understand the 'predictable-ness' of a declarative system. But are there some other advantages?

A few channels that lie around a specific topics I can remember:

  • jc : A professor at IITK, has highly informational videos for aspiring students in the context of motivation and studying for examinations.
  • No boilerplate : Videos on increasing productivity and the occasional rustacean (programming) shilling.
  • Ryan Chapman : Mainly long format information rich video essays related to politics/political systems and how they came to be.

The topics they cover are highly specific and cater not that large an audience but the quality of the content is quite c.ommendable.

Duckdns is pretty much a service that offers free domain names.. that could point to any public IP. (I have seen setups where local IPs are used just for HTTPS). So its good for instances as HTTPS can be achieved without buying domain name.
