I just wanted to make a quick video today because I need to make a public apology. I need to apologize to the main dev of InstaOS and InstaWindowManager because I reviewed InstaOS on the channel a couple of weeks ago and the video I did was quite negative. In fact it was extremely negative. It was a completely unfair look at InstaOS because I completely just trashed the project. The reasons behind that are one thing, InstaOS and InstaWindowManager are not really geared for somebody like me. It's a beta quality, tiling window manager, so it's beta software. But its signature feature is it has these weird animations. It's got some whiz bang animations that happen when you launch windows and close windows and things like that. That's not really for somebody like me. It's probably geared more toward new to tiling window manager users. This is probably trying to lure those people away from fancy desktop environments like GNOME or KDE Plasma or something like that. It's trying to lure them into the tiling window manager world for those of us that are used to tiling window managers. InstaWindowManager probably doesn't provide you anything because you probably don't want all the whiz bang effects. Also, InstaWindowManager didn't have a proper config file. You can't really edit it. I mean, the point of a tiling window manager, of course, is to configure your own window manager. But, you know, just because it's not software really geared for somebody like me, I can still review it in an impartial way. I review things all the time on this channel that I would never use in real life and I can be fair to these projects. But what made this particularly bad for InstaNOS and InstaWindowManager was I took a look at it in a VM and the VM that I ran it in was VertManager. The graphics drivers and VertManager did not want to work well with InstaNOS and InstaWindowManager. Windows took light years to open and close. It was excruciatingly slow. The keyboard was slow. Keypresses were registering seconds later or sometimes keypresses weren't registering at all and it was just painful to use this thing. It made me physically angry because of how slow that particular VM was and then you compounded it on the fact that it's not really a project or a window manager I would normally use in real life anyway. That video was just completely unfair. The div for InstaNOS did make a response video and his name is PaperBinney and he did this response to distro tube here where he goes over every critique I had in my video and how he has addressed that problem in the latest beta. He just released a new beta and he has fixed most of the criticisms that I had in my video. Of course the big one is the VM problem and that really is just on me. When I realized it was that slow in VertManager, I should have just installed it in VirtualBox because it probably would have ran perfectly in VirtualBox or on a test machine on my laptop or something. But I just assumed it was probably that slow on everything and I shouldn't have made that assumption because you know what assuming does. So if I pull up InstaNOS the latest beta that was just released here this time in VirtualBox and let me see if I can log in here. Look what happens now. This was not here a couple of weeks ago. Now the Virtual Machine as hey would you like us to switch to a 1080p screen resolution? So the day I've added this because I had to manually set this with XRander. But now the machine resizes and it resizes the wallpaper and it resizes everything perfectly. The performance here inside VirtualBox of course, the animations opening and closing work now and let's see if I can change the layout. Show you some of the animations when the windows go to the side. It runs just fine. It's not horribly slower anything. It's actually kind of peppy for what it's doing graphically. The other really big criticism I had is the terminal emulator because you know Super Enter brings up a terminal and I do most of my stuff at the terminal. And I had a real problem with that terminal. I thought it was URX VT. I tried to configure it. I never could get it to configure and you know I couldn't figure out some of the default key bindings for zooming in and zooming out and things like that. And the problem was their default terminal is not URX VT. This is actually ST. Why did I think it was URX VT? Well when you go into their menu system, let's see if I can click on something and you know if you do a search for ST, you know ST is actually not anywhere here. You guys see ST I don't. I, when I search for terminals I saw URX VT in X term and I just assumed it's got to be URX VT. It's got some transparency to it. So X term doesn't really have a true transparency. So your default terminal is ST. Why is it not in your menu? So that's one thing the devs probably want to address. If I just do a search for term, maybe it's no, it's still not here. So ST is not in that main menu there. But I'm not going to spend too much time here with InstaOS today. What I want you guys to go do is I want you to go check out this video here. He spent about 15 minutes demonstrating to you guys everything about InstaOS and Insta Window Manager. How it runs on proper equipment. And you know, again, he addresses all the problems that I had and most of them have been fixed in this latest beta. So guys go check out Paper, Benny and this video. I'm going to link to it in the show description. And again, I just want to publicly apologize to Paper, Benny and all the people that work on InstaOS and Insta Window Manager. I know better than to do what I did the other day. And once the world gets back to normal, if our paths ever cross Paper, Benny, I owe you a beer. And before I go, I need to thank a few special people.
