In this lengthy rant video, I address a few questions and comments that I've been receiving from viewers. I discuss differences between the terminal and the shell, why both Mint and Arch are appropriate "beginner" distros, and why I advocate being anonymous online yet post public videos on YouTube. Plus I get a cheeky comment about Emacs and my resemblance to a super villain. WANT TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL? ? Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/distrotube ?

xdotool is a command line utility that is most often used to simulate key presses or mouse clicks. This is especially useful to those of us that use standalone window managers because sometimes you want to bind an action to a keyboard event or mouse event rather than a shell command.
