[Info and news] Channel handles, name change for secondary channel, community tab and more

I posted a video that recaps events that have been happening on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdRO8Rt6HDk Channel handles In case you didn't know, then my channels now have YouTube handles. Unlik channel names, handles are unique and they can only contain letters, numbers, and underscores. Handles are soon visible on YouTube comments in place of usernames, channel page, YouTube search and shorts. They can also be used to reference my channel. markustegelane x -> markustegelane lite The name for my secondary channel, mmaal x (markustegelane x), has changed. The new name is mmaal lite (markustegelane lite). The new name reflects the so-called lightweightness of the channel, more specifically of its content. The main reason, I decided to change the channel name was that the mmaal x (markustegelane x) wasn't really an easily understandable name for the viewers and it might also cause large confusion. For example, x was in no way related to the number 10. Minu

[Video] Due to demand from viewers, I decided to publish a video, that was unpublished until now

I previously promised to make a video about an interesting operating system called Momonga Linux. But after less than 2 minutes of editing, I decided to publish a video related to Windows 10 Ameliorated Edition, because I thought that would be something that the wider viewer base would be interested in. This is why the Momonga video was left unpublished. After uploading the Draw Batch video, I decided to start using a new editing software - DaVinci Resolve. After beginning the use of this program, I still had Windows 10 Ameliorated Edition and Momonga Linux videos, which hadn't been fully edited yet, which is what one of the obstacles was - I had to somehow finish editing them using DaVinci Resolve (or continue using kdenlive). I decided to render the remaining parts of Windows 10 Ameliorated Edition video in kdenlive and then complete the rest using DaVinci Resolve. After publishing that video, I discovered several other interesting topics, which I wanted to make a new video about

Fixing broken download links

I discovered, that a large number of the download links, which are in my video descriptions, were either unavailable or required additional access. So, I decided to check all of my videos and change either access settings (for Google Drive links) or replace the download link entirely. Keep in mind, that I only checked the download links in video descriptions. In case the download link is in the video or in a comment, those links might still not work. In case you find a download link, which doesn't work or requires additional access, please let me know immediately on the feedback page: https://markustegelane.online/markustegelane/?doc=feedback&s=1 or via the channel e-mail info@markustegelane.online . You can also add a comment below the video in question.

[Second channel] Changing the name

Image
With this blog post, I am announcing that the name for my second channel, mmaal x (markustegelane x), is changing. The new name is going to be mmaal lite (markustegelane lite). The new name reflects the so-called lightweightness of the channel, more specifically of its content. The main reason, I decided to change the channel name was that the mmaal x (markustegelane x) wasn't really an easily understandable name for the viewers and it might also cause large confusion. For example, x was in no way related to the number 10.

[Website] The legacy version of mmaal (markustegelane) has been closed

With this blog post, I am officially announcing that the legacy version of my website, http(s)://markustegelane.000webhostapp.com , was put into sleep and will not be awaken. This change will not affect any website, which uses a top-level domain, including  markustegelane.online , markustegelane.tk , and markustegelane.ml , because all of these have already been upgraded to the new version.

[Website] Transition to a new domain and hosting provider

Image
My website has now been upgraded to a new domain and a new hosting provider. In case you visit one of my older domains (including http://markustegelane.tk and https://markustegelane.ml ), then you'll be redirected to a new web address - https://markustegelane.online . The new hosting provider is Hostinger , which provides more reliability than the previous provider. Due to this, I also have a new channel e-mail address -  info@markustegelane.online , where you can send feedback or ask questions related to my channel or website. Keep in mind that it isn't my personal e-mail address, which means it may take some time, before I reply to your message. All data from the previous web address should have been brought over to the new one, but if there is something, which you posted, that is missing from the new version, contact me on the feedback page or through e-mail . The older version is still available on this web address: https://markustegelane.000webhostapp.com (this gets us

[Video] MX Linux overview on the mmaal (markustegelane) channel!

Image
I decided to make a Markus computer entertainment episode about a Linux distro, which is to this day the most viewed page in DistroWatch - MX Linux!  This distro is based on Debian Linux "Stable" branch and is a collaborative effort from the antiX and former MEPIS Linux communities. The goal of the distro is to offer an elegant desktop experience with a minimal user-side configuration, which should also be as stable and performant as possible. The biggest quirk of the distro is the "Snapshot" function, which allows you to make an image of the active system, which you can put on the flash drive in addition to the removal of systemd, an initialization script. This distribution comes bundled with a lot of customization tools and Conky widget system, which allows you to customize the computer to your liking with as little effort as possible.

[Video] The longest Markus computer entertainment episode is now public!

Image
The twentieth Markus computer entertainment episode is special in more ways than one! In addition to the fact that it is the 20th episode, I used a new faster method for making this video - editing spilt into phases. This means that different parts of editing occoured in different phases. These phases are the following: Recording/Screen capture Creation of project files, removing unneeded filler+blurring (the longest phase) Beta version of the intro, remarks, overlays, 2D special effects 3D graphics Credits First render, video overview Addition of missing details/corrections of mistakes (e.g. wrong episode number, unblurred spots, text formatting issues, technical difficulties, etc.) Subtitles (If needed) Re-rendering I rendered this video using the DaVinci Resolve 18 software. Unlike other episodes, which I've edited with this program, this time I set the framerate to 30 fps (the other ones were rendered at 24 fps), so that the video would be as smooth as possible on 60 Hz display

[Video] New Markus computer entertainment episode about a modified version of Windows 10!

A video that was taken down on my second channel is back up again!

I once got a community guideline strike on my second channel with a video, which was testing how YouTube handled corrupted videos. YouTube gave me a strike shortly after the video was posted and I didn't really do anything about it... until today! Since the video technically never actually broke any of the community guidelines, I decided to appeal this decision. The next day, the video was back up and you are able to watch it again! The video in question can be found here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BIAhUo8uig

A special Markus computer entertainment episode is coming soon!

Image
I am officially announcing that the Markus computer entertainment Season 2 special episode is being premiered on 24th April 2022, at 23:00 (GMT+3)! You should also notice that these "special episodes" are made at most 2 times every Markus computer entertainment season (the first season only had 1 special episode). The idea of these Markus computer entertainment special episodes is that we don't just review an OS or solve a computer problem, but instead do something else, which is related to previous episodes. In this special episode, we are taking a look at a software program, which allows you to boot multiple operating systems from a single device - MultiROM. I have used this software in some of my first season episodes, including Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch videos. Those of you, who have seen Markus computer entertainment videos before, will also notice that there is something weird and very different in this video.
