I really like the name of your new channel.
Ah, a fellow btop (or variant) conoisseur, love to see it! Esp. since the added GPU support (available via the 5 key).
Weirdly the link to your new channel in this video's description on my instance links to:
https://tube.tchncs.de/services/redirect/accounts/VeronicaExplainsNothing
which seems to be a just a .json file?
I went to your instance and searched for the channel there, which lead to

It works but there seems to be some space for optimisation here (on Peerube's side, I guess?) __
@vkc great general explanation of DEs and WMs -- appreciate you delving into the differences in jargon between X11 and Wayland on top of that.
Might refer Linux newbies to this going forward. 👍
Great explanation of various DE's and WM's.
Maybe for a future video you van dive into 'antiX Linux', with it's unique approach of systemD-free Linux (what does that mean exactly?) and the choice between two init-systems (??) and four window managers (!), built on top of Debian. An expert explanation would be helpful to me, as I love to keep ancient hardware running, and this is supposed to lightweight system even capable of running in 32-bit systems.

Am I the only one who noticed Workbench? What does that have to do with Linux!? 😁
