Hearted Youtube comments on DorianDotSlash (@Doriandotslash) channel.

  1. I always thought that the linux file system was confusing. Now I know that it is confusing!
    6100
  2. User: "where is the system located?" Linux: Yes
    2500
  3. The Linux 2 golden commandments:- 1. Here are lots of folders. 2. Don't go messing with any of them.
    1300
  4. etc - Registry, Local Machine boot - The boot partition bin and sbin - Windows and system32 lib - system32 opt and some bin - Program Files dev and proc has no corresponding windows directories home and root - Users media, mnt and cdrom - drive letters assigned by windows, but ntfs allows you to mount a partition to a folder like in linux
    1300
  5. I'm teaching my 14 year old grandson the Linux OS and Python programming on the Raspberry pi. He is a willing student and this is the best introduction to the Linux file system I've found. Your work will help launch him on what I'm sure will be a rewarding career. Thank you
    1200
  6. "next is boot, this is a folder you dont want to play around with" me: plays with the grub folder like there is no tommorow
    843
  7. This is one of the best explanations I have seen
    816
  8. I love how this is only 15 minutes long, no sponsor spot, and there is not a single wasted word.
    538
  9. I seem to have stumbled upon a golden nugget with this video.
    391
  10. Create an OS and call it "DOORS" .. Are you tired of just looking out of Windows?, Try walking through DOORS, Information worldwide within your grasp. Opening up a new world to it's users.
    387
  11. For anybody who has moved from Windows to Linux, this video is essential viewing. Extremely comprehensive, logical, great voice and easy to follow
    384
  12. In true Linux fashion, a community member on the internet has been more insightful with their explanation than my college professor. Thank you!
    364
  13. You've covered more things than my teacher had in 2 semesters. Sub and liked!
    344
  14. 1. Never heard of Qubes before 2. Ashamed to admit I have never heard of it before 3. Just hit the 10 minute mark and now need to spend the rest of this week wiping out a xeon machine and going down the rabbit hole. Thanks for ruining my schedule for the rest of the week! HAHAHA <mind BLOWN>
    307
  15. looking for the C drive [scary music] had me laughing so hard...
    288
  16. I am 60, and about 4 years ago I threw Windows under the bus for Linux, and I am now a happy computer user. Although I mastered the most important basics of the system, your video came to give further insights into that! Thank you very much!
    275
  17. ugh thank god, an explanation in plain, non-research scientist, language. 8:21
    274
  18. 5 years old and still one of the most important entry level linux videos I have come across.
    231
  19. Best grandfather

  20. There is a long-standing naming controversy. Most people who use the system today don't know that what they're actually using is the GNU system combined with a Linux kernel. For many years, the media and the user community itself has given undue weight to the contributions that come from Linus Torvalds' camp and fostered a skewed account of the operating system's history, barely acknowledging the existence of the GNU project. The GNU project was started in 1984 by Richard Stallman to develop a complete free operating system, because none existed at the time. Its design closely followed that of Unix because Unix was highly machine-portable and (at that time) pervasive. Linus Torvalds did not write a whole operating system. He only wrote the last missing piece, a kernel, and he only did that in the first place because development of Hurd, the GNU project's own kernel, was lagging behind (and has not been completed to this day). Torvalds didn't write the kernel because of a belief in ``open source`` (a term that wasn't even coined until 1998 and misses the point of free software), and he originally released it in 1991 under a proprietary license until he was persuaded to re-license it under the GPL the next year. Saying ``GNU/Linux`` instead of ``Linux`` is fairer and more accurate. Without the irreplaceable software contributed by the GNU project - and even more importantly, the founding ideas of freedom - the system most people mistakenly call ``Linux`` would not exist. PS: Unlike Linux, Minix is a mainstream operating system (powers Intel's infamous ME). Anyhow, monolithic kernels (including Linux) are at this point conceptually obsolete. Cheers!

  21. I think the fact it's unbranded makes it especially hot.
    165
  22. 22:33 You don't need to know your CPU, just use -march=native and let the compiler find out your CPU and all the instructions it supports. That's the default option that Gentoo recommends and it can provide better results than selecting the architecture, though mostly it's the same thing. 24:12 Remember that compiling certain rare packages can take up almost 2GB per thread, at least when compiled with couple of threads and heavy optimization flags. So if compiling crashes, it most likely is because it run out of memory. But you can just try again with less threads without any problems caused to your installation.

  23. This was incredibly useful. I've owned and used computers since 1978, starting with a Commodore PET, and been a programmer etc but never messed with Linux much. I just started setting up a virtual Linux server on AWS and this folder structure overview was exactly what I was looking for, very well done explanation - thank you again.
    157
  24. I feel like I just watched someone perform digital neurosurgery on a computer, and here I am happy that I was able to correctly partition my hard drive to dual boot windows and kde neon without accidentally burning my house down. I learned a lot from this video and am looking forward to part 2. Thanks for taking the time to make this.
    148
  25. A little PSA: The Debian live iso with GNOME currently has the Calamares installer configured improperly, leading to installation failures due to something about the "displaymanager" module. This should be fixed in Debian 10.6, which should become available by this weekend. Other live iso flavors install properly.
    146
  26. 0:41 HE SAID THE THING
    144
  27. Sorry bro ... There is no way back from Debian However, you are the winner Enjoy your real life with Linux from now on
    141
  28. Been using Linux for years and I’ve never seen anyone explain directories so thoroughly. Always something more to learn. Thank you.
    128
  29. When I‘m in the Linux world, I always run something from the Debian family, be it Grandfather Debian, Mama Ubuntu, Hip kid Pop_OS! or Cousin Raspbian/Raspberry OS. And I can always be sure that I know where to go, what to do and that updates work well.
    91
  30. Debian is great. I've strangely enough done the opposite and switched to Arch from Debian (:
    86
  31. Simple fact: KDE / Plasma 5 is so far ahead of Gnome - in EVERY respect, most notably technology - its simply a miracle why anyone would still use Gnome
    84
  32. Well, now I finally know what “bin” means after ~20 years of seeing it.
    83
  33. Title should be Must-Have Gnome Apps.
    71
  34. Layers, Flatpak, Toolbox, lol, you just described Ikea... haha
    70
  35. about a year or more ago when i was new to linux, i watched multiple videos to choose which distro to install, elementary looked beautiful so i went to its website to download it but it said purchase. At that time i thought it's not free so installed ubuntu instead xD.
    69
  36. Me: Plays around with directories until things break, then restores snapshot.
    67
  37. I also switched from Arch to Debian, years ago but I sometimes fondly remember Arch as an old lover
    64
  38. Behold the power of Linux
    62
  39. Your video is an important reminder and a wake-up call: too many of us do not protect data. Data that is important but often precious. I think that ZFS and its utilities are the best-proven way to keep safe user's data and working systems. Unfortunately not too many Linux users are familiar with the ZFS and its tools and are missing a whole lot. You could create a series of easy to understand and follow guides for Linux users, who are serious about "bulletproofing" their systems and most importantly: their precious photographs, videos, documents and so on. Your videos convinced me that you are up to the task. I recommended your channel to others - you are doing very important work for the community and you are doing it well. Hat's off, sir.
    59
  40.  @Doriandotslash  That helps, thanks!
    59
  41. Thank you so much for this! It was rather intimidating to think that I was going to force myself to learn what seems like an absolute mess, but it's so simple, efficient and makes sense now! <3
    58
  42. Now feel like I know everything there is to know about the Pinebook Pro short of actually owning one
    58
  43. This was really interesting to hear about. I didn't know one like this existed. Also, his voice is very soothing and relaxing to listen to. Anyone else here feel the same?
    56
  44. Thanks Dorian. I really, really needed this! Unfortunately I needed it in 1994. But that's not your fault! Well done.
    55
  45. Things to do after installing Fedora Silverblue: by Karl Schneider Step 1: Open Firefox and navigate to https://www.youtube.com/doriandotslash Step 2: Watch the video titled "Fedora Silverblue 30 could be the future!" Tip: Be sure to take notes. Step 3: Click "Like" (AKA: the Thumbs Up icon) Step 4: Click "Share" and share the video on any and all of your favorite social media platforms Step 5: Watch the video titled "Silverblue 2-week update and answers" -- again, take notes Step 6: Smash that "Like" icon Step 7: Repeat step 4! Step 8: Click the Patreon link on the DorianDotSlash YouTube home page (patreon.com), search DorianDotSlash, then choose a monthly payment amount, because you didn't have to research any of this and it was presented to you in a way that even I could understand. Tip: An easy way to calculate the proper amount is to think of the amount of money you spend on stupid, unneeded and/or unhealthy crap each month. Multiply that number by 1.... That number is your monthly pledge. And you will be happier and healthier! Step 9: Read through the notes you took and have at it! You are now one of the first to be computing like everyone will be in the future. You are essentially Marty McFly.
    55
  46. Better a long video with this well explained then short and bad explained;)
    55
  47. A great starter video for prospective Linux users! Thanks!
    54
  48. I love your teaching style. I wish you have more tutorials. I came from "Linux File System/Structure Explained!" video :D
    54
  49. I realize I'll probably get some hate for this. However, Macs just aren't what they used to be, and even the biggest Apple fans will agree. They sorta just plateaued. Once upon a time when hardware improved by leaps and bounds, their new hardware was good, but never great. And now, it just seems they can't get ahead anymore, and are selling overpriced devices that are just, "meh". Yes, they probably last a long time, but with the amount I spent on my MacBook Pro, I could have purchased 2 or 3 high-end PCs/Laptops that are current, and would still last several years. Apple's new focus seems to have shifted heavily towards their iPhone, tablets, and the iWatch, but even those are seen as expensive toys to many people. This is my rant of frustration. Enjoy!
    53
  50. Void is a hidden gem. I was surprised it wasn’t in the top 100. I’ve been using it for over a year. Not one crash or hiccup. Xbs-src is the package builder so you can build from source if you can’t find a program in the repos. Glad you found this distro. You won’t be disappointed.
    52
  51. For Bri'ish users: "en_GB.UTF-8" for default locale, "uk" for key map and "gb" for xserver layout
    52
  52. Learned more about Linux in the past 12 minutes here than in the past five videos made by others. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.
    51
  53. Arch is good for tinkering and playing around but if you need to get actual work done and need reliability Debian and Debian based distros are the way to go.
    50
  54. this is awesome, it actually teaches you how to do it from scratch
    49
  55. The tactics on the website are so cringy and put me off trying it. I enjoyed listening to your points of view, thanks.
    48
  56. I understand how it feels when you arrive to the one system that is stable, and works fine according to your needs and your schedule. In my case, I tried to use Debian but never worked out for me. Instead remain with Gentoo for a long time and later moved to Arch. But there is not like dealing with a system you know how it behaves and simply works for you. ☺ The good thing is that there are so many options in Linux/BSD that some work for some users and others work for other users... unlike Windows 10 and OSX which has only 1 flavor.
    48
  57. Great video! Simple and straightforward, the kind that I wish existed when I started on my Linux journey.
    48
  58. Arch is fun and Debian is reliable
    46
  59. Thanks for appearing in my recommended.
    45
  60. I use Debian (or Debian derivatives like Raspberry Pi OS) on all my machines. Having a uniform set of administrative tools across all installations makes sense, and Debian is utterly reliable.
    45
  61. Linux is way easier to install than Windows, and my laptop from 2012 works great with it.
    43
  62. Great video as always, for us Linux noobs it's so damn useful!
    43
  63. Great video! Thank goodness for random YouTube Recommendations... they always know what I want lol
    43
  64. NixOS and Gobo Linux are two very interesting distributions indeed.
    43
  65. It's still annoying that you have to install the Tweak Tool to customize Gnome. Why can't this be customized from the default settings?
    43
  66. "Looking for the C drive" Me who installed it on pendrive 👁👄👁
    42
  67. I like how he is still actively reading comments to this day
    42
  68. Thanks for making this video, there aren't a lot covering NixOS so it's good to see some coverage about it!
    42
  69. It's the "linux" file system that predates the existence of linux by decades...
    40
  70. Optimus is really a pain in the neck.... what a lack of support linux users receive from nvidia and intel
    40
  71. NixOS: exists Dorian: I awake
    40
  72. You can now save the layout of your panes: C-a : layout save default When you reattach to that screen session, you will have the same splits...
    39
  73. pamac has a nice CLI mode now similar to apt also: pamac --help Available actions: pamac --version pamac --help,-h [action] pamac checkupdates [options] pamac search [options] <package(s)> pamac info [options] <package(s)> pamac list [options] <package(s)> pamac install [options] <package(s)> pamac reinstall [options] <package(s)> pamac build [options] <package(s)> pamac remove [options] <package(s)> pamac update,upgrade [options] <package(s)>
    39
  74. Superb. I give Linux a try every year, and abandon it at the first, "You enable/fix that with the following 16 long lines of mysterious text and commands," but have always wondered about the file system's structure. Thanks. "I'm sorry Noob, I can't do that from a click. You will need to find the 6 esoteric commands and their obscure switches needed to make me do that"
    38
  75. I actually knew that bin was program files, mostly through android file exploration
    37
  76. Love Debian. Haven't tried Arch yet but I'm still pretty new. Made the switch from windows a few months ago. Have a server I'm still tooling around with on debian and a couple laptops on mint debian. It's fast and solid even on older hardware.
    37
  77. Debian is fantastic. I had a Debian 9 VPS that ran for 5 years straight without any issues whatsoever. Rock solid stability.
    37
  78. I run Debian on my "backup storage machine" in part for the reasons you mention. It's stable and I can log onto it a few times a year to run updates without the worry of a glitch. Debian is simply stable and reliable.
    37
  79. I've been a Gentoo user for about 10 years and I was struggling to understand exactly what this distro is. Thanks for your video it's certainly intriguing
    36
  80. Excellent overview, and an important video to make - cheers! I'd welcome a detailed look at the various root distros, trying to explain the main differences between them so people can easier try to find a flavor that suits them. There's so much out there, it's hard to know where to begin unless you've got the experience.
    35
  81. I remember for the first few years, i had no idea what was where. The most I learned about linux was "Well, I know not to delete/change that file/folder. Time to reinstall from scratch.".
    35
  82. Debian is the shiznit! I love the Debian installer. I have never had the Debian installer not work, perfect install every time. The advanced options give complete control of the entire install process, and the regular install is quick and simple for those who do not want to answer tons of questions.
    35
  83. I really appreciated this video my man. It's a daunting task for an absolute novice with computers to learn linux. I needed to start somewhere and this was a great start by learning wtf my directories are for. Your explanations were clear and concise, no clutter, no confusion. Thank you.
    33
  84. Pop os 20.04 here
    32
  85. Well, thanks to your tutorial I now have my Gentoo system up and running. Thank you a lot.
    32
  86. When people complain that fedora is too vanilla, I tell them, look at this, this is Gentoo
    32
  87. Thank you, Dorian. I have always felt most comfortable with Debian family distros.
    31
  88. Love the unbranded look. May pick one up for my development work..
    31
  89. KDE is my favorite DE. Beautiful, complete, estable, customisable and functional.
    31
  90. Awesome informative tutorial for a new Linux user, thanks!!
    30
  91. Spent over a year with Arch friggin around with it "good for learning Linux?" but in the end I do have to work so I switched to Manjaro and Mint :-)
    30
  92. 0:20 That feel is real.
    29
  93. Always like your video's Dorian. You always explain things very well.
    29
  94. This is the first time that YouTube recommended your video. Glad to run into it. I have used Arch, Desbien, Mac, and Windows 10 OS. I'm thinking of trying NixOS because of your video. Thank you.
    29

  96. Been using for a year and really love it. Never going back. Buying a 32gb RAM Dell XPS 13 soon to have a LOT of VMs open at the same time because I'm a hardcore user
    28
  97. Debian, I tested it out 8 years ago and stayed with it, not much reason to change once you're somewhere nice. The 'cool linuxing' part is now when installing the latest stuff, but that's more exciting than package dependency fixes. Happy you're back, really good videos.
    28
  98. I just discovered your channel today and I really like your videos! Your articulation and pronunciation are very clear, so even if I'm from Germany, I can understand every single word. I cannot say that for every English video here on Youtube...
    28
  99. I use NixOS for about a year, but I never knew for sure how it works. Fortunately your video made it very clear to me. Thanks as always.
    28
  100. the basic concept of the PM seems stupidly simple, and I'm surprised it hasn't been done already or in more PMs; at least as an option.
    28
  101. Even as a Windows user I can only agree: the unixoid way of managing files/drives/etc is much more clever.
    27
  102. Manjaro has come a long way. This Nvidia workaround doesn't seem to be needed anymore. You can select the nonfree at installation boot and it will use them throughout and they will work flawlesslu. Of course, it will disable Wayland if it detects the proprietary drivers but that's far from a bad thing. Been a great experience for me so far.
    27
  103. Excellent. Take my bow for keeping it simple. The reason why Windows users just don't use or hate Linux on their working machine is, the way Linux's experts present Linux to new or Windows user. They just ask to install Ubuntu. Open terminal and Blah Blah No average user want to use command prompt. I agree you can do hell lot of things using terminal. But really does anyone want to start with it? This makes impression to new user that Linux means command prompt. 🤷🏻‍♂️ No one teach concept. One must consider that no user want to use terminal until he is done with GUI methods. Terminal is for advanced user, not the beginner who can't (or don't want to) memories commands. Average user use Word, Excel, Power Point, Photoshop, Chrome, OBS Studio, Hitfilm Express kind of software. There was plenty of free software available on various repositories. To use these software, an average user even don't need (to be more precise Don't WANT ) Terminal or command prompt.
    27
  104. The legend is back! He's alive!
    26
  105. Fedora is very innovative. I like what they are doing.
    26
  106. Honestly I use Debian on all my work machines (I have 6 of them now, 1 desktop-server, 1 desktop, 2 test beds, 1 laptop and Dell PowerEdge R715) I run CentOS 8 Stream as bare metal on server and Debian on VM. I cannot even imagine running arch on anything serious. I am part this stage. My OS must work no matter what. Stability is my first order of business (I run ECC RAM in all Desktops and Registered ECC in server). I even would sacrifice a lot of speed for stability.
    25
  107. When I moved from Gnome, KDE just blew my mind. Everything seemed so easy and intuitive. I also had used Windows, macOS (rarely), a lot of Gnome, Cinnamon and a bit of Mate and XFCE. KDE (for me) turned out to be the best. And now I know why. I started developing an app for Plasma (btw, check it out: https://github.com/OneAdder/libinput_gestures_qt ) and Qt is so cool. I mean I managed to do something (not perfectly polished yet though) for a couple of days. And I had never seen Qt before
    25
  108. 90% of the time FLOSS tools are superior. For that last 10% you either need to use the lesser program or go proprietary.
    24
  109. Ohhhh, so that is the reason why I messed up so many Linux distros 🤣
    24
  110. I was thinking about you just yesterday. Wondered what you've been cooking up since it had been a while. Good review. Thanks.
    24
  111. I had problems with my touchpad on other distros, even on Windows. After playing with ElementaryOS, Ubuntu, LinuxMint Cinnamon, ZorinOS i have finally found my one and true love- Manjaro KDE.
    24
  112. Your teaching style, tone and cadence is perfect. I'm looking forward to more in this series.
    24
  113. 10:35 usr is better thought of as universal system resources. The connection to "user" is mostly historic (used to contain user home directories like /home/ does now.) Nowadays, It's shared by all users, generally isn't user-writeable, and should only be modified via the package manager. (Custom apps belong in /usr/local/bin/ ; users can install into ~/.local/bin/ ) In some distros like Arch, /bin/ & /sbin/ are just symlinked to /usr/bin/ , as specified in file-hierarchy.7 for systemd.
    23
  114. Very well explained indeed! Can see the hard work you've put in into the making of this video! Thumbs up! Subscribed.
    22
  115. Plateaued? apple has face-planted, swan-dived, and a few other too-rude-for-here expressions. I'm so done with them.
    22
  116. This seems really cool....One of the biggest issues I have had when trying to see if I could use Linux as my main OS is it's seemingly random self destruction sometimes after trying to run package or OS updates that that the OS itself has prompted me to run...I have tried about 5 serious times to see if I could replace Windows with Linux...The cycle goes like this..1: Curiosity....2: Carefully taking the time to research which one of the brazillion distros out there would be best for me...3: Install it onto it's own partition....4: Fight and struggle to get drivers so I can get everything to work properly.....5: Start to customize to my liking......6: Get to where I am thinking that maybe I could use it full time....7: Run random update which breaks everything.....8: Get frustrated and give up on Linux for a while...Rinse and repeat....Going to try this out now..I am hoping this will install to a VirtualBox machine so I can test it out without too many headaches...Here I go again :)
    22
  117. Wonderful video. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this to us.
    21
  118. I use Arch btw 😆
    21
  119. You got a new sub, your clearly enunciated instructions with a consistent volume level throughout are a refreshing change for me. This is the third video I have watched of yours, it is the best multi-booting video I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
    21
  120. i don't understand how did i live without your channel, you're really good speaker and explainer!
    21
  121. Wow! that was quick. I wasn’t expecting it to be released this year.
    21
  122. One word: stability I use Ubuntu because I like stability and I do Web Dev work so I need a supported system, and Ubuntu is still the closest to mainstream Linux system. Anything outside of a Debian based system is for people who want to feel special for using Linux. Also, before some nerd @s me. If you think Ubuntu is spyware but have a Google account, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft account, or use a smart phone then you are LARPing as hackerman and are a hypocrite. Ubuntu needs to know the hardware setup of some sample of users so theu can optimize their operating system for their actual users. It is a good thing and I am happy to tell them I am using a ThinkPad from 2012 with an upgraded processor, RAM, and two SSDs. (gotta love that old thinkpad style, i don’t need a dvd drive in 2020, so i swapped the disk drive out for a second SSD) I am probably not the only one using older hardware and Canonical having that info tells them ”hey, we need to make sure this will run on older hardware”
    20
  123. I don't mind snaps but......... why the hell would a default programs be a snap............ that's just unsensicle.
    20
  124. Thanks Dorian! You helped me to recover a 1T of info accidentally deleted with clean command in diskpart in windows! God bless you man!
    20
  125. Man you're a life saver. I can't thank you enough for this amazing video.
    20
  126. Nice video! Next level -> Install Arch Linux Next level -> Install Gentoo And next level -> Install Linux From Scratch After that -> Go meet Linus Torvalds - he has a job for you! :-)
    20
  127. I have been running linux for years and I still distro hop once or twice a year. I just like seeing how other people are doing things and different solutions to similar problems. I may be staying on gentoo for a while though. I'm liking it a lot
    19
  128. Wow! I really like the direction Fedora is going. It isn't just your typical distro that's for sure. They obviously put a lot of thought into the underlying structure of the OS and how Flatpacks and RPM's are integrated. Your video really explained a lot in a very concise manner. Thanks for all your hard work. I will certainly download and play around with Silverblue. Aloha!
    19
  129. Thanks for the share. I never knew what LVM stood for and always ignored it. Now I know. Thanks

  130. Dorian, I really like the way you reviewed the Pop beta. Even though Pop 20.10 is my daily driver, I found your review informative and well worth my time. I find many "distro" reviews to be "more of the same". You have a very good voice and your video quality is spot on. Thanks for doing this.
    19
  131. Dorian, with your voice and breakdowns/reviews of all things linux, you could have the biggest linux based podcast! Appreciate you man.
    19
  132. Though I have never used any of the mentioned distros in this video, I must say this story is a pretty darn good example of the reasons I love Linux - it's all about the community. If there's a will, there is a way, and then there's a community, right? :) And there's Dorian to tell us all about it. I really appreciate your work! Great content!
    19
  133. Since Windows applications are not secure, you should create a separate user account and run them like that, just so they don't have access to your home folder. Other than that, great tutorial!
    19
  134. If I understand correctly, Nix sets the Unix timestamp to 0 so that folders are more byte-by-byte compatible and thus can be shared via hydra. https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#ch-relnotes-0.7 Still new to nix terminology, but basically I think it reduces variance (which could change the hash, making it harder to distirbute).
    19
  135. You can also do this one-time, with the following command in the terminal: pactl load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=noechosource sink_name=noechosink and once your recording is done, you can turn it back off, with pactl unload-module module-echo-cancel
    19
  136. 7:40 this is major break. I wish just one linux distro makes this basic things right. I don't need any other extra nonsense preinstalled, or over modern UI :(
    18
  137. Very nicely explained video on what everything is and does. Just to touch note on the /dev/sdX you probably should of also addressed how drive names change based on what's connected to the system, the first standard SATA disk the system detects will be /dev/sda but if you connected another disk it would become /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc and so on. It cycles through each letter alphabetically for each connected drive and disk. Also something a little more newer on systems with new hardware like M.2/U.2 SSD's they'll appear something similar like this /dev/nvme0n1and /dev/nvme1n1 instead of the usual /dev/sdX naming scheme.
    18
  138. Thanks, as this was just the level of information on flatpak that I needed--and can remember.
    18
  139. Dorian you are a pro. I've subscribed to so many other Linux related channels and I must say that I find your videos extremely informative and a notch above the rest. Please continue to produce these high quality content. Belated birthday wishes by the way.
    18
  140. Hey Dorian. KDE has a widget that you can download called "Places Widget" that you can put on your Task Bar. You can also try using the latte dock which is based on the KDE Frameworks if you want a dock on the side like Gnome.
    18
  141. Excellent video, very informative. This looks like an awesome approach to a linux install, looking forward to other videos.
    18
  142. Looks interesting nice to see a distro do something different
    18
  143. Gnome: This is not a distro and should not be run on real hardware People: I'm gonna put this distro on real hardware
    17
  144. That was very informative and extremely good video, showing desktops and different flavors where really cool.
    17
  145. Fun fact, flatpak has the same commands as dnf or yum, so both update and upgrade works the same. It will always update remote repo meta first, then search or install the package you request. I suspect it uses dnf resolver as well, but I can't prove that.
    17
  146. Excellent video!! I love using Debian! I use MX19 on one machine and debian LXQT on the other. Fast, reliable and efficient!😀
    17
  147. 8:35 btw..PLayonLinux is very outdated. You're probably better off using Lutris to manage your wine games ( if needs be..it depends on the individual game in my opinion as far as there are a few that you'll need to check a few boxes like " restore resolution on game exit" and " restore gamma on game exit" as well as "enable feral game mode" and "enable DXVK/VK3D" something like that. Some of the witcher trilogy is a good example of that as well as Metro 2033 I think IF anyone needs any help getting the same games I have set up on their Linux pc in which Lutris and wine both work on and are fairly new to Linux, I might be able to help. Let me know. Cheers
    17
  148. Rocky Linux Paper Linux Scissor Linux
    16
  149. After some 15 years of using linux I guess its as good time as any to actually learn the linux file system structure :D
    16
  150. I love your theming! what icon pack are you using?
    16
  151. A master at work;) Not using Gentoo, but was interesting to watch anyway.
    16
  152. Good video rant, I think that the awareness of FOSS as a solution is more important for its growth than using it for everything, it takes a while to realise this, I am pretty sure all Linux and BSD users go though a stage of strictly using non proprietary software. I would say use the solutions that work for you, that have licencing terms you are comfortable with. Compromises do not have to be a bad thing, after all compromise is part of life
    15
  153. Linux actually let's you as an admin, delete all. Accidently to RM -R in the wrong place, and all is gone :) let us all appreciate that. Windows sux in this regard. "Please call your administrator... this file is in use by process etc, in use by Thrusted Installer etc...... , it's just terrible. ( for example try to delete files in freaky folder created by a Windows OS upgrade ). Tamper with the ownership, inherit the wrong things and you'll never be able to delete those files and folders any longer, no Technet article is gonna save you after you fucked up completely.
    15
  154. Great job 👍 I use mine all the time (Manjaro KDE + Wayfire) and I have to say that this is the most fun device I've had thus far. The community is amazing, plenty of people actively pursuing different projects and sharing with each other their findings. And they are ready to help anyone facing a problem regardless if it's big or small 😉 Pine64 have made something truly amazing with the community and this laptop. The Pinebook Pro encourages it's user to learn and experiment. You can't go wrong with such device.
    15
  155. Manjaro used to be my hit and miss. Then I was wanting a new Linux distro to try out as my college Linux distro, MX was my college distro because the Debian stable. Then I wanted a rolling distro that runs off the Arch branch but a little stable and that's when Manjaro came in. Manjaro gotten better, I liked Ubuntu's driverless printing but now Manjaro have their own driverless printing so I never have to mess with CUPS to get my printer working. Manjaro detected that I was running an Nvidia and Intel GPU and automatically installed the Bumblebee drivers because I told Manjaro to boot the nonfree drivers before installing.
    15
  156. I don't need it now, I may never need it, but I'm really glad Rocky Linux exists, and it's impressive and such a joy to see how quickly it's gotten up and running after the CentOS debacle. It's very FOSS-affirming and I appreciate everyone involved and everyone supporting it with content like this getting the word out.
    15
  157. Once again, I have to say, these videos you made were a god send. I've been wanting to get into the Gentoo world for a long time, but as you said, it was a bit intimidating at first. You explained things very very well, and I've successfully built 2 physical systems - the second of which with LVM and full disk encryption, using your vids as a guide. Awesome work. Any plans to make some other videos about some gentoo basics maybe, optimization or package management? Anything really XD
    15
  158. Love it ❤️ !! .... Gentoo & ArchLinux are my favorites flavours !!... I think I will install it this weekend.. 90s music, beer and installing Gentoo 🥳🍺
    15
  159. This is the best video about NixOS I’ve seen so far, thx for sharing your knowledge with us👍🏻 It,s a very interesting conzept/ distro and I hope you will create a lot more content about NixOS. Keep up the good work mate👌🏻
    15
  160. Cool distro! But if I remember correctly, they intend it more as a Gnome demo, than an actual operating system. So people shouldn't really be using it as their main OS. Something like Fedora Silverblue will probably work better for people wanting this kind of a system
    14
  161. I like Debian. I'll stay with it. After 30+ years of messing around with various flavors of Unix, Fite-O-Net, Then OpenBSD. Then Linux starting with Red Hat. I find Debian to be the most stable, Ubuntu is my second choice. Main performance bottleneck is as always the Nvidia compatible video drivers. Nuff said. This will stop being fun when it gets ubiquitous like WinX and MacOS.
    14
  162. I know this video was made in 2017 however it is still very useful! Thanks so much! I laughed when you said "I'd love more followers" - I know i'm a couple years late but you just got another one!
    14
  163. We came a long way from cumbersome compiling and installing source software to this. Linux is indeed the Master Race.
    14
  164. Good to hear that you made it back home safe and sound with all that is going on and the new vid is a plus. :D
    14
  165. Gparted live! That's what I was missing, thanks so much! I'm trying to dual boot my system for windows/Mint, but I already have mint installed, and I was wondering about how I was going to keep the mint settings that I've already set without formatting and re-installing everything. Now I know how I can format and resize the partitions I need, cheers and thank you! :D
    14
  166. Im in the process of loading Linux onto my Mac wish me luck 👩🏼‍💻
    14
  167. Thanks for the video. It is very helpful during the first installation. A brief explanation about the pkgs prefix. The configuration file is a method definition written in the language: https://nixos.org/nixos/nix-pills/basics-of-language.html#basics-of-language pkgs is one of the arguments declared at the top of the configuration file. The with expression imports all fields of argument into local context: https://nixos.org/nixos/nix-pills/basics-of-language.html#idm140737320566208 The with pkgs expression before a list definition means that you do not need to use the pkgs variable in the context of the list. You can write: environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [vim, nano, xfce.xfce-whiskermenu-plugin] instead of environment.systemPackages = [pkgs.vim, pkgs.nano, pkgs.xfce.xfce-whiskermenu-plugin]
    14
  168. Excellent teacher. You go step by step at the correct speed. I learned a new important skill today.
    14
  169. I'm not a Linux power user but I do programming pretty often and after a lot of distro hopping, finally found my way on POP OS, IMHO best GNOME implementation on Ubuntu Based distros. It uses 800-1.1gb RAM but it worthy in my case, no distraction, very productive, good performance, no cooling issues, no tearing, and bloatware free. I've tried most popular DE and deepin or stock GNOME are pretty good. I would've taken deepin DE instead, but I feel more comfortable using an Ubuntu Based distro and handling unofficial support of deeping DE is not my taste. Thanks for your review.
    14
  170. Arch for the win.
    13
  171. People like that are the reason the stereotype of linux being only for nerds still exists.Most people don't care about semantics like this. They just want something that works,computers are appliances not temples.If they want more people to adopt free software they have to make it inviting not toxic.
    13
  172. For me open source is better because W10 broke on me last year and I had to install Peppermint. Second best thing I did in my life after quiting smoking 14 years ago. Have a great weekend Dorian;)
    13
  173. "It may look like a mess but it is actually a more efficient way". I always thought only having to look in one location for storage devices regardless of type or not having to search 16 locations for application configs was inefficient in Windows.... When i put on my admin or dev hat this layout makes sense, when wearing my user or user support hats it is a frustrating mess.
    13
  174. "You could still run programs, games, and Word Perfect" ROFL
    13
  175. I love linux filesystems just because of them using / instead of \ because there is no easy way for me to type that on my keyboard
    13
  176. The installer??? With Debian you see this once in your lifetime. Don’t bother 😂😂😂 btw I use and love Debian too.
    13
  177. im using manjaro on my PS4 and its an amazing distro
    13
  178. This is a video all Linux newbies should watch before they install their first Linux app.
    13
  179. my arch os broke today and couldnt figure out how to fix it. i was going to just reinstall it but then i saw this video and nixos looks like exactly how i like so i think ill go with that instead
    13
  180. idk why I giggled at thought of backing up the "trash" folder
    13
  181. It's like vegans, they sometimes talk to non-vegan people like they are a better person because they are vegan. Great, that's your choice, just don't talk down to others. Thank you for the video.
    12
  182. This is mind blowing
    12
  183. Awesome channel, and great covers of Gentoo! Really helpful videos! Maybe the series could include something about app-portage/layman and i think then it could be a full series for gentoo beginners.
    12
  184. I've been using (and in many cases) perplexed by the file system in multiple flavors of Linux over the years (honestly, I don't know what every single file/folder in Windows does either), but this short video increased my comfort level greatly. Thanks for putting it up!
    12
  185. Very good explanation. Thanks a lot.
    12
  186. I have not came across a better explanation of Linux than what you have put on your channel. Thank you for explaining this in a way that even a beginner like myself can learn. Some videos I’ve seen just jump into the terminal and you’re left bewildered, trying to understand another language at times. I hope you come out with more content because you are definitely doing the world some good.
    12
  187. Your Cinnamon distro looks alot like KDE, what happened. Did I miss something.
    12
  188. Much better path than Ubuntu and snaps
    12
  189. For me, the biggest problem of snap programs is the size, since all of them contain all the dependencies.
    12
  190. $ date -d @0 Wed 31 Dec 1969 04:00:00 PM PST Everything in the nix store has a timestamp of 0 for reproducibility.
    12
  191. Your videos are a gold mine for every new linux users
    12
  192. I find Qubes very interesting, and I love the theory behind it. I can see it being incredibly useful as a testing platform, and I think I've got to have a go at that soon. Is there a possibility to do hardware passthrough to VMs, like passing a dedicated GPU, a disk or something like that?
    11
  193. Its your subconscious telling you, you wish you were Hispanic because the food is amazing! :)
    11
  194. Got interested in Linux recently (after using a live CD to do some recovering on a windows PC). Watching this I can understand now why programmers often use it. Everything is much more accessible on a level that would require specific tools on Windows. However, this also explains why Linux can't get a break on normal desktop user market. Windows is just a lot simpler and does everything for you and you forget it exists. As an OS should do with an end user that just wants to use their computer without having to actually learn things above a certain level!
    11
  195. Just the thing I am looking for. It would be really great if you make a video about complete windows to Linux migration. Many people start with Linux and switch back to windows just because of the familiar applications. if you make a video about the Linux applications similar to windows version apps( similar functionality ) and their installation basic usage Like: Coding environment setup ( C CPP python ) One note, Excel word alternatives. Photoediting video editing sound editing Finance application-- money manager accounts manager Project management tools (2 apps) Download managers Games( 2,3d, ) don't know if VR is possible Many would love to see this in one vid or a series playlist. Since many Linux tutorials think they are making any sense but they are really not. because they think the users are already Linux experts I took me over a year to do this complete migration myself. So there many who would love to see this type of content This is my opinion / request
    11
  196. Flatpaks snaps and appimages have really really helped to bridge the gap between distros.
    11
  197. 3:09 "Oh yeah he's totally going to say it didn't boot anymore" "And theennnn, it wouldn't boot into Arch anymore" This is the most relatable thing in the universe hahahaha.
    11
  198. Arch is definitely recommended to all linux users, because it teaches alot of working of linux. Prior to arch i had used ubuntu for a couple of years but barely learnt anything. And i would agree that one should shift to other stable lts distros after they have learned.
    11
  199. Finally someone said it. I thought I'm the only one preferring Debian over Arch
    11
  200. You need to install the widevine DRM for ARM in order to make Netflix and others work. Manjaro could have a aur package for that, or look into some raspberry pi forums for installation guides.
    11
  201. Thank you so much for your help.
    11
  202. nvidia-xrun seems like a better solution - it lets you run 2 xservers in parallel (one on nvidia, and one on intel), so you don't need to restart your computer or even log out to switch between them. And if you want to save on memory and power consumption you can dynamically stop one of them and start them only when required.
    11
  203. It is probably more simple and the Macs are innocent. I use the Zeta File System (ZFS) and I allow upto 3GB of memory cache for ZFS, so after a while the Vbox Guest OS runs completely from memory. Especially the VMs of the smaller Linux OSes and its running Application(s) fit completely in memory. But also when running e.g. Crystal Disk in a Windows 7 VM, I measure an average throughput of close to 1000 MB/s, while my PC only has 3 old HDDs and SATA-2 with a max of 300 MB/s. It is the magic of large, good working memory caches. It is why I can reboot a VM with eg Xubuntu 18.04 in 7 seconds on my 2008 Desktop. I think something comparable happens in Mac OS, your VM runs largely from OS-X cache memory and if you return to the Host, the cache is in use by the VM and the Host has to read from disk again and reconquer cache space. Be happy with your fast VM and Mac OS caching :) I'm not a Mac fanboy and I will never use Mac, they are simply too expensive.
    11
  204. This is exactly what I've been looking for for the past few days
    11
  205. Hands-down one of the best, clearest tutorials I've used. Though the resolution on openbox did make it harder to read some things.
    11
  206. Very Nice video. Keep them coming. One suggestion, a compliment to this video could be setting up two monitors and showing separate displays running separate OS running. Especally any game running on windows(pc) version in addition to kvm shared resources like keyboard and mouse separately. Although that might be a complex setup but many people (gamers) would love to see that counting myself in the same. Thanks for sharing this one, and good luck for the next one👍
    11
  207. Wow! Thank you for the shout out! Very kind of you! I am glad that Krita is working out for you, the program has come a long way and is definitely going to keep getting better. I am sorry that KDE didn't quite work out for you. Gnome is a solid DE and if it does the job for you then that is awesome.
    11
  208. Dorian, I missed your videos. They are packed with information and you present them so well. Thank you sir!
    11
  209. Yeah, was really curious when I first saw this distro, glad I can see someone else taking the plunge:)
    11
  210. This is the best channel for learning Linux. Great graphics and screen shots, practical, he doesn't talk too fast, explains everything clearly. Excellent communication skills and a great voice. This is my Go To channel for Linux. 👍
    11
  211. 100% agree. I tried installing elementary os as my first distro a while ago, but the prices listed everywhere really spooked me. I hopped onto ubuntu for a while but as I got more comfortable, snaps started pissing me off more and more. I am since using debian and couldn't have been happier. I really do enjoy the stability debian offers rather than rolling release of arch and manjaro. Ps. Whats the outro song name, its catchy 😁
    10
  212. 6:45 I'm quite high
    10
  213. You've shone a light on something which has confused me for years! Thank you!
    10
  214. I just did the same thing, sort of. I went to Pop!_OS instead of Debian. Too many things to change to make new software available, mainly the kernel.
    10
  215. Crisp and clear, no shouting or whatsupping, no ums or errs, and enough info to enable me to use it with some confidence. Subscribed.
    10
  216. This looks really promising, though I'm probably going to wait until the Fedora team gets some of the kinks straightened out before I seriously consider switching.
    10
  217. Excellent video. I think you explained Silverblue very well. Thx for making the video.
    10
  218. The wallpaper is gorgeous!
    10
  219. Great presentation! Now that we have Nixos up and running, please consider a video on Home Manager
    10
  220. These videos are very helpful for people installing Linux, specifically the Boot Issues and Nvidia drivers issues are very common. Thanks a lot and keep making more videos
    10
  221. snaps and I believe flatpacks are updates of the old idea of Statically Linked Applications, as used in early linux, msdos and even CPM. When memory was very tight, shered libs saved many precious Kbytes. Goodluck
    10
  222. Great videos thank you a lot for helping us start out down this awesome path!
    10
  223. I really like KDE, it's awesome. But damn, the system settings are awful! They are so clunky and confusing, settings are where you dont suspect them to be etc. It's just confusing as hell. They should really redo it completely. It's the biggest "wtf" moment i ever had (and still have) with KDE.
    10
  224. Very nice. System76 are filling in the gaps that Gnome devs are leaving behind.
    10
  225. Very good video. I have Peppermint installed on a machine and not in a vm. I believe it is a very good distro.
    10
  226. That's the true spririt of open source projects! Keep it going! Never surrender to those big and greedy companies, which you know what I refer to.
    10
  227. Watched your last video on nix and you got me into nix. Please continue this series!
    10
  228. Dorian woke up and chose PAIN...
    10
  229. Try this: KDE System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor: uncheck "Allow applications to block compositing". In Rendering backend make sure you have "OpenGL 3.1". Finally, consider reporting the problem in the Manjaro Forum.
    10
  230. For me is a must IBus and anthy for QWERTY Japanese layout; then Ktorrent for torrents; Inkscape for vector image editing; also Cantata as KDE music player, the best i tried so far.
    10
  231. this video is awesome, it's a good starting point for people who want to really break the mold when it comes to gui customization, especially because since this released there's been a bunch of other ones that just teach people how to make it more like windows. I would appreciate a sequel though, one that tells you how to make some of the more outlandish stuff you'd see from win7's litestep
    10
  232. I think Mint is the one that good enough.FInally i turn to Mint from FeeBSD,according to the better bluetooth and sound experiment(actually bluetooth in FreeBSD not work at all:)
    9
  233. I feel Manjaro and Mint are better for most new users than Elementary.
    9
  234. One of the best general overviews I've seen. Well done.
    9
  235. Did you return to KDE? If so, why did you leave Gnome? Anyways, thats a nice video, that should go in the library of any linux user
    9
  236. You are teaching me much more than my instructor has in 5 months in 16 mins without myself getting confused. Seriously though thanks for this!
    9
  237.  @Doriandotslash  Also there is the simple fact that explaining the procedure to fix the problem as open terminal and enter this command is often much easier than writing out step by step directions to handhold the user through the GUI to do the same. Lets face it if you gave most users the option of being guided through a complex multi step process or just pasting some magic words that make the problem go away they are going to pick the latter, most users just want the problem to go away they really don't care to get more involved than that.
    9
  238. Thanks for the refresher, it’s been almost two decades since I’ve messed with Linux, I used to use Unix at my job and now I want to get into it again on my new laptop because I hate windows.
    9
  239. "They" told me to install flatpaks. They didn't explain permissions. Thank you!!
    9
  240. Didn't know you were Canadian! I watched a lot of your videos when I jumped over to Manjaro a couple of years ago.
    9
  241. Thanks to your neofetch I finally decided to install debian on my desktop, I had only used it on my servers (with absolute great success, but no GUI). Thanks so much, I will never use another distro again.
    9
  242. I'm currently evaluating Debian Stable. So far, so good. I don't find the software too stale. Do we really need the latest and greatest Firefox, for instance?
    9
  243. Debian stable with backports kernel is where it's at. Plus, like you said, there's so many options between flatpaks, snaps, virtual machines, containers to run particular things you need, it's great. The whole point of stable is not necessarily fewer bugs, but rather the things that you already know work a particular way will continue to do so, so that you can focus on the thing you actually wanted to work on, rather than riding the bleeding edge and updating multiple times a day.
    9
  244. Best review ever!! Finally! Thank you!
    9
  245. It's all about software bloat. If code was optimized and efficient, people would still be using hardware that was 5-10 years old, and our landfills wouldn't be overflowing so much. Personnaly I would rather pay an annual extortion tax to the major tech companies, instead of playing this insane update/upgrade game.
    9
  246. This might make me switch to Fedora... Awesome! :D
    9
  247. Just moved from W10 to Manjaro and im so happy and my PC is so much faster.
    9
  248. New to linux, but anything better then windows, 10 killed my drive to even touch the pc.. Using Nvidia 1060gtx and intel, any pointers for me.. Btw great video..
    9
  249. just stumbled on your videos about switching to Manjaro... I've been running Manjaro for about 4 years now, and I've very very happy with it. If you are looking for a good place to ask questions about Manjaro, try Spatry's CupOfLinux Forums... Spatry has sub-boards for every major distro, and a special sub-board dedicated to Manjaro (Spatry himself runs Manjaro, and that's who turned me on to it) But anyway, the forums are very friendly and do not treat newbies badly. And you can discuss pretty much any distro, so no worries on that score. Well, worth checking it out, I'd say (ok, I admit I'm biased as I'm a mod there LOL)
    9
  250. 8:15 it's g-edit get-it right bro... see what I did there ayyyyyy lol nice video out
    9
  251. Excellent tutorial thanks Dorian!! I've been wanting to do this for a long time, you've inspired me.!!

  252. I'm surprised you didn't cover compiling from source. I know that this is a video for beginners but IMO they should know that this is a possibility as well.
    9
  253. Awesome video. I didn't realize those were scripts people had setup. This makes me much more likely to use it in the future.

  254. Best channel to keep myself updated !

  255. When you talk about ways to install new packages at 23:32, you make it look like the configuration file and the Nix package manager are 2 different things that don't interact. But that's wrong: In NixOS, the Nix package manager is everywhere and the whole system configuration is actually built by the Nix package manager, and a system generation is a Nix environment, the same kind of environment that is made available for user-specific package installation (with one or more environment (or profiles) per users actually)

  256. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it is very informative. You voice was very clear and explained very well.

  257. Debian Stable with KDE on top! The best combo of all I have tried.
    8
  258. nice video, not like other distro reviewer that just seems clueless when using this distro and make me confused, you explain how this distro works really well, and makes me interested trying qubes
    8
  259. Linux without a package manager is like hand without fingers or a motherboard without a cpu.
    8
  260. here before 1 million views lol
    8
  261. This guy makes good quality Linux videos. I have been using Linux for more than 10 years now, meaning I did not really need to watch the video but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
    8
  262. This is insane! Great vid! So simple! Liked, AND subscribed, AND shared!
    8
  263. I remember the days I used screen to switch back and forth from irc Thank you for the video 👍
    8
  264. Great tip! It's strange that GNOME does not have this as a feature by default. One would think with the prevalence of current smartphone interfaces and behavior that this would have already been a feature. Endless OS allows the user to rearrange apps and folders. Really, Endless OS does some neat things with GNOME. Thanks for the video! Keep it up!
    8
  265. Love this style of teaching. Tangible applicable examples and direct to the point communication. Thanks a ton mate!
    8
  266. спасибо за руские субтитры ) очень инеренсо
    8
  267. Hello DDS! Quite strange conceptually to install gksu while choosing Plasma as kdesu is available (see it for instance at 18:33)! Cheers
    8
  268. Welcome back. Missed ya vids :)
    8
  269. I love that wallpaper. Can you link it?
    8
  270. I use Manjaro KDE on mine. I use it for LibreOffice, YouTube and retro gaming on emulators. Absolute beauty!
    8
  271. Damn such a lovely and concise video, awesome!
    8
  272. Hi Dorian, great video. Please speak a bit louder. Thanks for the video 🙏
    8
  273. Bloated operating systems & software so you are forced to update every couple of years. An IBM from 2004 with 1GB RAM with Linux Mint is still serviceable today for every day jobs. While being a part of a closed ecosystem (WinXP) the machine was made obsolete many years ago.
    8
  274. outstanding and crystal clear instructions!!! keep up the good work! :)
    8
  275. I got so addicted to dynamic workpaces that I can't use other DEs anymore. I feel much more productive in app development with it, in a workspace a browser and devtools, another workspace for the code itself, another for the terminal for debugging stuff and at the bottom, the usual telegram, spotify and other non-related crap. It feels nice because the trash doesn't clutter my "overview" when I need to switch between apps in the same workspace.
    8
  276. GNOME is the only DE that feels polished and professional to me. Especially with Pop or Adapta theming. I'll keep using GNOME until they really screw something up.
    8
  277. Flatpak/Snap/Appimages are the future. As more packages are added to any of the three, the LTS distros look more and more compelling. I want the apps I interact with everyday to be bleeding edge not necessarily the system critical/background applications. I want a stable base and up to date apps on to of them. Rolling releases offer up to date apps, but you are always risking an update to bork your setup or weird library interactions.
    8
  278. The biggest thing I'm missing with switching to KDE Neon is the online account integration with Gnome. Gnome has a really slick calendar, decent contacts manager, etc. that all work really well with Google. Neon ships without Kontact with good reason -- Kontact is like someone time traveled to the 90s, picked a bad version of Outlook, cloned it, and never fixed any bugs. It's probably the biggest thing I miss from Gnome. But then I like how KDE lets me just do some simple things, like having per-window rules, without a ton of hassle. If I want Slack on every desktop, in KDE it's one click. In Gnome, it's a small project to figure out the right alchemy of extensions to make it happen.
    8
  279. This looks so good! This is pretty much flagship linux.
    8
  280. Thanks so much for the video, great video!!! Very interesting to see the installation video of Gentoo with the XFCE desktop environment. Maybe you would like to make a video installing Gentoo+ XFCE for novice Gentoo users. Thanks!!!
    8
  281. Ok This is the coolest idea for a distro I have seen! In a way, it reminds me of dotfiles for a tiling window manager, you can take those files and move them to a new system and it'll be just the same automatically but with this it's the whole system instead
    8
  282. I don't do backups, I live the danger~!
    8
  283. Amen, brother.
    7
  284. @DorianDotSlash Thanks for this video! I started long time ago on Digital UNIX and Slackware 3.1. Continued on Slack until I parted with Linux for quite a few years. Came back couple of years ago and ran Gentoo for some time until one upgrade just would not go (I was probably too much behind and when updating Gentoo just flooded me with hundreds of dependency errors, I just gave up). I needed something simpler, with minimal trace and just enough functionality, which would let me install binaries as well as compile my own stuff when I wanted. I tried Arch, (L)Ubuntu, Manjaro, Mint, Elementary OS, Fedora, Suse, FreeBSD... Some of them stayed for few months, some for few minutes, but none of them felt right. Then I heard about Void Linux somewhere and as soon as I installed it, I knew. Minimal, simple to maintain and fast. That was all I needed. Currently running Void with slightly customized dwm and st, and it's just pure delight to work in. My soul is still not in peace however as I installed LXDE version and just slammed dwm on it - there is unused stuff just sitting on the disk taking space and I am a bit confused where Xwin config stuff goes. After seeing your video I might reinstall with just a base, dwm and the suite of programs I want and I would be settled and happy for years :).
    7
  285. everytime I hear about this distro, eye of the tiger starts playing in my head
    7
  286. Very informative video. I know it was long, but it was worth it to keep watching. Thank you.
    7
  287. I used GNU/Linux for almost a year long and I don't regret it. I almost don't touch my Windows partition and might delete it. Now I'm using Debian for college, but also I wanna install Kali (I want to harden the security of a project I'm gonna work on very soon beyond the normal security measurements), Arch and Gentoo. I love how customizable is Linux, I love tinkering it, and it gives me all the tools I need for developing out of the box PS: Hackers don't make Linux viruses because there are very few people using the OS. Most people use Windows, so makes sense they focus their efforts in that operating system
    7
  288. The best way to try (GNU)Linux is to use VMs - sure. But the best way to experiment with it is to put it on an old laptop!
    7
  289. I used this to build many custom machines. Thanks, I did one with Awesome WM and just recently I started messing with the DE for webdad.
    7
  290. Great video, Dorian. Antergos has been my daily driver (on and off) for a couple years now. Cnchi was a mess for a while, but the last big overhaul really solved a lot of the issues the installer had. Cnchi also as a cool option to automatically setup /boot/efi, /boot, /(root) and /home on separate partitions, which is handy for dual booting. GNOME was my DE of choice forever because I love the workflow. As of late I've gone all in on Plasma (since 5.12 was released) on my main rig. RAM usage is way down compared to GNOME and it's very easy to create the GNOME workflow (and improve that workflow) in Plasma. For light weight distros I always gravitate toward Peppermint and Linux Lite. For REALLY light weight Antix is pretty great. Sorry for rambling. :)
    7
  291. Glad you are enjoying Manjaro. I would be there, was with them for a year, but what got me to leave was not knowing how to deal with the pacman created config files that occur during updates (in all Arch based systems), that are called ".pacnew, .pacorig, and .pacsave." When those are created one is to compare that file with the newly created config files and then update as needed. To a non-tech person, knowing exactly what to do with those changes that the system is requesting is a puzzle, so I finally just gave up cause the directions never made sense to me. So maybe when you encounter them during an update, you might make a video on the best ways and tools to use to update those config files correctly. I worked a year before I even noticed the pacman update files but there are commands to find them. Then what? Good luck with your many projects. You are offering entertaining subject matter.
    7
  292. YouTube recommendations win AGAIN!!
    7
  293. Actually linux directory tree is pretty straightforward. You always will find only expected content in every folder. And now try to dive inside the Windows folder. Oh boy, I think even MS developer can't say what exactly every piece is for. Also a lot of external apps placing their temporary files into the OS folder turning it into a total junkyard.
    7
  294. "...all the world is BSD, everything else is a boot loader!" 'Took me years to figure out what this quote actually meant. By then, it didn't matter anymore. Sigh. I can't even remember who said it!
    7
  295. thnx good tutorial, i'm playing around with linux these days i see this very informative
    7
  296. so, essentially, linux is rooted android on a pc? Oh, wait, i forgot. Android is linux
    7
  297. Congratulations
    7
  298. Good video, finally installed Arch. I use Arch BTW....
    7
  299. "Arch isn't scary or that hard" except you want to install it with 2 graphic cards ;)
    7
  300. I noticed the massive size of updates on Manjaro Linux I stopped using it for that reason.
    7
  301. Thank you! You experience just justifies the reasoning that I had. I have never tried Arch but did think of couple of times, I work in IT and I have infra issues to resolve, so cannot spend lot of time with issues on the work device(which runs Debian due to Zoom, google meet VoIP, otherwise FreeBSD :). If you like recent releases of software, try FreeBSD, the stability and package collection like Debian and fresh like Fedora! I use FreeBSD on my personal Desktop which has dual boot of Debian just for the sake of VoIP apps.
    7
  302. Long time Debian user here. Love it. Use it on multiple desktops, servers, in production, etc. So stable that I've use auto-updating on production webservers for years without issue. As for desktop, I'm oldschool, so Mate desktop for me.
    7
  303. Dude, this video is great. You do a great job explaining and demonstrating Silverblue. Now I'm going to load it up on my test rig.
    7
  304. Back in the early days I borked my Linux system quite a few times because I didn't know what I was doing. I'm at about 7 years without having to re-install Linux due to a mistake. I don't like flatpacks. They just bloat your hard drive. I'm a Linux Mint Mate user. Love my Mint. Lets see how much yelling I get for saying that. LOL
    7
  305. After a couple of installs I was able to get my entire setup without a single rpm-ostree install. I really hope this will be super stable
    7
  306. this seems the way to go... especially since the image updates contain only the delta's keeping the original as a read-only fallback
    7
  307. macOS Catalina has its OS in Read Only.
    7
  308. Thanks for the video. You follow the same track has me. Ubuntu, MInt, more distros testing then stop at Manjaro. Running it for months. It's certainly one of the best, if not the best. It's quite noticeable as it has skyrocketed on the Linux distrowatch site.They do have huge updates (a one gigabytes once) and it can break stuff but so far so good. Backup, backup. Once in a while I take snapshot of the partition using Macrium Reflect free. I can't recommend Manjaro for new Linux users but once you get more Linux knowledgeable, it's fantastic. Even if there is some possible AUR security issues, which I have never seen or heard off, it's God sent because of the sheer selection of software kept up to date . No ppa chasing like Ubuntu.
    7
  309. Great video, could you do a video on LVM's? I'm thinking I'll give this a go
    7
  310. You dear sir are a life-saver!!! Thank goodness I found your video, and so simple. Many many thanks!!
    7
  311. I use Manjaro and I find it stable. I recommend sticking with the recommended LTS Kernel though.
    7
  312. 4:31 watching this video after i just had a mental breakdown over this XD
    7
  313. Dolphin, vaults and screen corners does it for me, all on a 1.1Ghz 4Gb, ssd laptop working at a very respectable speed (and no tearing of any desktop effects - Opensuse 15). KDE has come a long way in recent years in terms of resource use, stability, visuals etc. For a thoroughly up to date, rock solid stable experience, Tumbleweed is superb.
    7
  314. Thank you so much! This helped me get a Gentoo install in less than 12 hours my first time without any errors. The especially long times because I was running on a really weak machine and what took you 14 minutes to compile took me 6 hours lol
    7
  315. Great video as always, thanks Dorian! By the way, can you make one in the future about Solus OS? I played with it for some time now, and although I don't think it's something really special (but I do like it), for some reason it was the distro that was the most liked among the people I installed it for. Still trying to figure it out, so I would really like your two cents on the subject. Let's say I'm still hesitant to go public about how cool it is, so... Anyways, thanks for the great content.
    7
  316. Great to see this video from you. You got me very interested. Glad to see you are back. Thank you. Be well. :-)
    7
  317. Welcome back and stay home, stay safe :)
    7
  318. Never even heard of this, and yes you're right it's very unique. Please do more videos on it.
    7
  319. :/ Well that makes sense, but I was hoping for something more along the lines of programs or software. Applications works, but apps just kinda rubs me the wrong way, an itch I can't scratch lol. It feels like some kind of really dirty term.
    7
  320. Hi Dorian, Open up the nvidia settings panel and under the "OpenGL" settings, UNcheck the "Allow Flipping" and after a reboot, that usually fixes the screen tearing. I also use the KDenlive appimage as well.
    7
  321. Great video on recovery options. Thanks. I have always installed testdisk, just in case, but I never had a need to use it. backups are definitely easier. :-)
    7
  322. great vid!
    7
  323. Some people will look for any excuse to put another down and (mistakenly) put themselves up-it can be politics, religion, sports, Linux distros, insert topic here. You'd think humanity would have evolved past this point already.
    6
  324. This must be a given thing honestly, criticizing someone for using closed source is stupid
    6
  325. Yeap, being a fanatic is never a good thing.
    6
  326. Seriously one of the better YT series on Void. Really practical approach, while highlighting much of the unique qualities this distro has to offer. It's a really good little distro. And hope all went well with the new baby (comment is coming a little after-the-fact..)! Cheers!
    6
  327. Yeah, you can pass GPUs and disks to specific VMs. I do that to have a Windows gaming VM with direct access to the GPU and pass it a disk which contains my Steam library.
    6
  328. Watching the news last night ... need to give Qubes a try.
    6
  329. Much needed one. I wasnt quite comfortable with the activity bar on top and dock on left as it fills up most of the screen space. Finally I love the way my desktop looks now with this extension. Thanks :)
    6
  330. The simplicity is real. very minimalist love it. Btw love both Gnome and Kde .
    6
  331. Hi Dorian./ Thank you for your informative video. I was the 13th person to give it a thumbs up, hope that's not unlucky. As I live 'off grid', power consumption is a vital issue for me, hence I use my Chromebook - a lot! Would it be possible to put the commands for tlp in your comments section immediately below the video and yes I am being lazy B-) Further to this, do you think swapping my lap-top hard drive for an SSD would noticeably change the laptop power consumption? Thanks again.
    6
  332. Amazing video! Thank you! Cannot wait for the next one
    6
  333. Excellent presentation and very informative. I've used Linux for a few years now but never really learned about this. You did a great job explaining all the different folders that to a Windows guy were a bit confusing. Thank you so much. I really was well done. I learned a lot.
    6
  334. 0:20 how true is that lol
    6
  335. My time with linux would have been so much less painful if I had watched this video first.
    6
  336. First tried Linux back in 2011 on hardware from 2008. Couldn't find the C drive, and that music is exactly what I heard. Upvoted lol.
    6
  337. Awesome!!! I'v been using Linux for years and had yet to learn all of that.
    6
  338. Network Admin and Security college student here. Thank you very much for your contribution. This video is now stored in my "Tutorials" folder for future reference. Also Subscribed. Thank you so much for this explanation!!
    6
  339. Wow, thanks for this explanation. It's kinda crazy how accessible damaging files are in Linux compared to Windows.
    6
  340. Great video! I've watched a few videos trying to explain how the Linux file system is structured and I think this is the best. On a side note, I have no idea how you can say that this structure may look "messy". Windows' file system is literally a garbage mess! I use both Linux and Windows and I can fairly easily keep my Linux installation very clean over time. Windows, on the other hand, is files scattered everywhere in the system installed by God knows what. The lack of a package manager makes this problem even worse, since very little is shared across different programs on Windows. As a result, you find duplicate dependencies installed by different programs, thus more storage gets used. Linux file system is an OCD person's room, in comparison! :)
    6
  341. I love this distro, is fast, even on my very old 32bit laptop. Of course I am a systemd hater :) The updates run smooth and my beloved nevim works like a charm
    6
  342. I'm always trying different distros but I always return to debian, there's nowhere I feel at home as in Debian, on computer I want to have all the new stuff I use the testing, and when I need it to be reliable stable it is. It never let me down.
    6
  343. This is impressive considering Linux is still fairly new on ARM. I’m impressed with the quality of the PineBook; especially for the price. Nice overview of both the PineBook and Linux on ARM. 🙂👍
    6
  344. Time Stamps would be great
    6
  345. Amazing video! Awesome job! I always had challenges understanding the dual-boot process but this video makes it a cake-walk. Huge thank you!
    6
  346. Hello Dorian, wb :) on windows side easy way for me run command prompt (cmd) as admin and type: powercfg hibernate off after install linux with dual boot if u ant reach windows disk/partions try this. thank you.
    6
  347. I love pure Arch. I'm using Manjaro for the last few months. I have never been able to stand Ubuntu. I was a 10 yr Mint user, but it just got so frickin heavy. I'm running Manjaro Kde, and it hasn't failed to meet my needs yet. I would love to go back to Arch, but I'm just a bit too lazy these days.
    6
  348. The best thing about Linux is that is is used everywhere. Some aircraft In-Flight Entertainment systems, supercomputers, some budget laptops, and home automation systems use Linux as their operating system. (Yes, I know, Linux isn't an operating system but a kernel, although many people would call it the former)
    6
  349. Thanks now i can play csgo with 30fps on my 940mx manjaro
    6
  350. Thanks for the great video and for your work! Fedora Linux definitely is the future of Linux 😎👍
    6
  351. Once the ostree model and Wayland make it to debian stable, desktop Linux will be complete.
    6
  352. Just got NixOS working on a UEFI system the other day. Good thing to note: Many UEFI boards will recognize USBs in BIOS mode first, and you may need to change it in the BIOS/UEFI settings to boot from UEFI and not "legacy boot".
    6
  353. Great video! Thank you for the tips on the boot issues and fixes. All the Gnome stuff was very good as well.
    6
  354. i love manjaro cinnamon its on my gaming/media desktop supper stable
    6
  355. I need the Kernel 4.19 for the Ryzen 5 2400G support. Otherwise the system won't boot in 4 out of 5 times.
    6
  356. There is one person that absolutely hates Manjaro, Joe Johnson. Don't like the green. I would go for Adwaita dark.
    6
  357. I love Manjaro! Is there anything better? The only thing that's giving me grief is configuring Samba, I remember it being much easier on Lubuntu.
    6
  358. I'm new do Linux, my main PC is still on windows, but I love getting my butt kicked and trying to get things working on Linux. It's really nice having the freedom to do anything and the way you want, learning in the process.
    6
  359. On Ryzen systems on Ubuntu 20.04 and lower, if you have qemu/libvirtd after you reboot libvirtd won't be able to connect to root due to a zombie qemu process that you have to kill(also hangs any reboot or shutdown you initiate if you don't kill the zombie). The resolution is to start libvirtd after qemu-kvm in the systemd service. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1887592 Just pointing it out since I had so many problems with it. It should work without problem on Ubuntu 20.10 since it was patched but I don't know about other distros since I had the same problem on Debian and Fedora.
    6
  360. Thank you for coming back!
    6
  361. Nice... Subbed. I installed Ubuntu on an old laptop a couple years ago, but I've barely used it. Learning curve :/ This will help.
    6
  362. This truly is an "elementary" distro that I think is a great gateway for non-techie beginners.
    6
  363. This is what gnome should be.
    6
  364. Thank you for the effort you put into these videos. it's really well done and I watched the whole thing. (I'm not actually planning to switch to Gentoo any sooner. I'm already having enough trouble with arch) But really cool video and well explained. Thank you.
    6
  365. Using Firefox since 3.0. Periodicaly trying Chrome and Edge. Still Firefox is the best fit for my tastes (and I like the open-source concept itself, thank you to Mozilla community). And Firefox made a HUGE step forward in performance in a last couple of years.
    6
  366. Excellent tutorial Dorian!! looking forward to part 2 :)
    6
  367. This is very interesting Tho I never experienced any package corrupted from power loss and such, this could save tons of hassle from it especially for the people who doesn't have a UPS
    6
  368. Hi Dorian! New audience here, love the video. Only video I found online explaining NixOS, hope to see more videos related to NixOS.
    6
  369. Also try GuixSD.
    6
  370. Similar to yours but a couple of others. I really like Krita for image manipulation. For vector graphics I use Inkscape. Both are great at what they set out to do. I also use Thunderbird for email. Great video as always.
    6
  371. Awesome videos, keep going.
    6
  372. man i can't thank you enough,you just helped me recover 2Tb worth of files
    6
  373. Thanks a lot Dorian. Although testdisk didn't help me, I saw your comment below about photorec and I managed to recover a lot of my lost files although I deleted my partitions and went from Windows to Linux
    6
  374. I'd use Gnome instead of "openbox". But that is just a preference. The only mistake you made was saying "gedit" wrong. Fantastic video, continue to support the linux community!
    6
  375. When i was just starting linux i didnt understand a thing now im an expert and make this even better!
    6
  376. There are so many scenarios where data can be lost: rm -rf * executed in a bash scripts because a folder variable doesn't exist or isn't calculated properly or a hard disk failure. I've experienced both of them. And it was like the author of the video said - "too late". So I think it's worth investing time in understanding how to setup a proper backup strategy.
    6
  377. personal data ? You mean my neck-deep, beyond-recognition custumization ? Hell yes i want that backed up !
    6
  378. Your my hero thx!
    5
  379. Very useful. Wasn’t sure how to mount the partitions and this helped perfectly. Thanks!
    5
  380. Snaps are terrible and they are too much based on Canonicals business strategy. Flatpak is the same but for RedHat. Lets go with AppImage. But i keep Ubuntu as the main distribution.
    5
  381. Last year I made the switch from Ubuntu derived systems to Debian proper and I could not be more satisfied. I am very happy in Debian land. However, if I were to stray, I would go to Fedora.
    5
  382. Hi. I like your videos. I did not know Ubuntu 18.04 did that. I just started using it. I don't like that either. I won't spend most of my time in it. I like to distro hop. I have 7 different partitions on my PC. I spend probably 50% of my PC time in Peppermint OS. I really like it. Peppermint and Ubuntu are constants on my PC. I have Manjaro Deepin on here. I like that a lot as well. Updates have caused me serious issue twice on Manjaro. One of the issues was I couldn't update after I updated. I had to do a bit of searching to getting the issue resolved.
    5
  383. As long as it's not harvesting my data, or I at least have no reason to believe it is, then I don't care that much.
    5
  384. Fantastic Linux distribution and fast with runit. I'm using the 64 bit version on an RPI3 as a headless file/print server. Fast little setup and idles at 22 mb
    5
  385. Would be cool to see a snowden level balls to wall type example. Like try booting Tails OS with a persistent flashdrive, then installing a VM running cubes in that.
    5
  386. same performance i hope, good for the centos user now and in the future.
    5
  387. Saw a comment about you becoming a father! Congratulations :D Hope to see you once everything is settled :D

  388. Elementary is quite an amazing distroi, I like using it. Pantheon is beautiful, usable and it manages this at a very small memory footprint, that's great.I also really like the appstore with it's pay-if/what-you-want model. I wish they'd get rid of the problems. You mentioned some, this is my take: It's unbelievable that eOS still doesn't ship with a full-featured browser. Web is fine for a quick look at a website, but really, most people need Firefox or some flavor of Chromium. - eOS tries tro be an out-of-the-box experience, but doesn't ship an office suite. I can't get my head around that. Plus, if you install LibreOffice from the appstore, the theme is all borked up. I had to download the DEBs from the LibreOffice website. / the decision to get rid of the minimize button and have all (elementary) apps open where you closed them is interesting, but in my opinion ultimately flawed. First, it only works with apps designed for elementary, second, I want a file manager to start in my home directory, not in the directory of a now unplugged USB drive, which prompts an error. / Pantheon looks great by default, but offers little to no customization. That's strange in the Linux world. - Summing up, I still ove eOS, but I really wish they'd work on these issues.

  389. thanks for the detailed overview and sharing your experience. I still don't like EOS, or any ubuntu/debian derivative other than MX. Too much focus on eye-candy and majority of apps installed, i dont use coz there are better (and more lightweight) the pre-installed apps. Good indeed for new users

  390. Just not a fan of the Mac look

  391. Really enjoyed this video. It's good to have you back.
    5
  392. All your applications are up in here, up in here. Ya'll gonna make me code all out.

  393.  @Doriandotslash  True. I know some ppl will complain. Thx. Didn't mean to sound arrogant.

  394. I use both Windows and Linux. Im not that into open source stuff but I like the idea of an OS anyone can change. Personally, I use Windows for gaming and Linux for general stuff like Checking E-mail, but if I already have Windows running and I need to do something like that I stay in Windows.
    5
  395. Thank you for this video.. being born in 1994 I grew up with a lot of technology and advancements. I know the very basic things about computers and been using Windows since 98? Lol and I always we confused and fascinated by these different programs. I wish I understood it all better and I'm very overwhelmed with all this lol. But thank you for this video it definitely helped me understand w little bit more
    5
  396. Thank you, what a nice video! Could you make a video about installing drivers on gentoo please? Thank you so much.
    5
  397. Very clear and concise. Thanks!
    5
  398. I've always liked Antergos. Ran it (XFCE) for a while last year on my secondary and it ran really nice. No complaints at all, except for my tastes swinging more towards the really minimal distros. Nice review:) Also, did right click on the clock in the systray not yield a 'properties' section? That's where the clock options reside for me, anyways. Using the Xfce4-panel on vanilla Arch with Openbox. Take care!
    5
  399. I love Antergos, it's probably my favorite arch os but it's a toss-up between Manjaro And Antergos for me because I haven't used Manjaro as much

  400. :))) "hispanic" ! i am curious if sony vegas (the latest version) is working on this distro...
    5
  401. The music around 0:20 is laugh out loud hilarious. Nice.
    5
  402. I would install my own programs in /usr/local/bin (and lib man etc), as that is early in the list of directories to look for programs (the environment variable PATH). Actually, /usr/local is made for system admins to install programs for every user. Great explanation for beginners though, thanks. I might reference this for my courses.
    5
  403. I'm so glad I found this, you've got my sub!
    5
  404. Well explained. To me, it sounds like it's well crafted.
    5
  405. This a goldmine of a video! Especially for a student, this takes the boring lectures to a fun and interactive level that makes it easier to learn. The graphics and explaining are great, and a bonus point for humor 😁 especially in the beginning. 10/10
    5
  406. Im 15 yr old, started learning coding. I find this video super helpful, great explanation..... Thanks from Bangladesh !
    5
  407. you deserve more subscribers, great channel contents.
    5
  408. Excellent video. Very informative and clearly explained in a simplistic way.
    5
  409. Great tutorial, Dorian! I've installed Arch a dozen or so times and never once thought to install all of my other software with pacstrap. Nice tip. Thank you, sir. Hope the wife, kids and yourself are doing well. Dash on!
    5
  410. for partitioning GPT UEFI please use gdisk. Parted is not setting up efi partition correctly now (at least for me and many other people of internet).
    5
  411. Debian was so stable for me that it got really boring, so, I had to leave it. Lol
    5
  412. I switched from Debian to Arch
    5
  413. Debian is a very cool (and reliable) distro. Something similar happened to me, but I went to Void Linux instead of Debian (part of my dabbling into Void was in part thanks to your videos btw). I have to say that it has been rock solid stable for me. Also, the packages on their repos, although not as big as Debian's, are very well selected; every package that I used on Debian or Arch is in there, but that's just my personal case though. For fixed releases, Debian is my go to, and for rolling releases, Void has become my indisputable choice.
    5
  414. I think to it too, but Yay keep me to arch ❤️
    5
  415. I had a similar experience with Manjaro Arch Linux. Ran it for a year fine and then the updates started breaking things. It eventually updated to a kernel my machine couldn't handle and it broke. I can boot it up in recovery mode using one of the older kernels but I've been using PopOs for a few months and no breaking issues.
    5
  416. I feel the pain man. That's been my internet speed for the last decade
    5
  417. Great video Dorian, I think Debian is the way to go, stay safe.

  418. DebianDotSlash ;-)

  419. just ordered myself one
    5
  420. You could add "IgnorePkg = linux54 linux54-headers" to /etc/pacman.conf to keep the working kernel from updating.
    5
  421. The tearing would be okay if i couldnt watch netflix in 1080p fine on my oneplus 5T (not a new phone).
    5
  422. Just ordered my Pinebook Pro, can't wait to replace my bad budget laptop with this cheaper, yet better laptop! (I will be running Manjaro ARM - KDE)
    5
  423. This thing looks great I'm just tired of waiting to get mine. Shipping is unbearably slow. I know there were/is issues in China (Hong Kong) but damn...
    5
  424. fu*k man, I can't find your video...when I was most needed. today I just got random YouTube recommendation . Thanks alot u just cleared my all doubt. It's so short and sweet.🙏🙏

  425. Hi Dorian, thank you for the video. I have one 250 GB SSD that has Fedora on it and I have a 2 TB HDD for storage. I am fairly new to Linux and am still trying to find the distro that I like the best. So far, Fedora is amazing, but I would like to try Parrot OS, KDE Neon, Debian, Arch, Endeavour and a few more, but I am not wanting to use a virtual machine because I feel it really lessens the experience of the OS. I was hoping to be able to use my 2TB HDD for each OS with about 100GB allocated per OS. I had to make an additional efi file and to try it out I install Ubuntu. I can now run Fedora and Ubuntu, but it is not that smooth as I have to go into the boot options within UEFI and choose which to boot from. When I turn the computer on it goes to the last OS that I was in and I cant get the boot option to show upon startup. Is there any way to add the options for Ubuntu and fedora or would I have to install the OS on the same Hard Drive?
    5
  426. Just spent a bit of time watching the vid, and I have to say I love the idea on how silverblue has been implemented for the most part. Since it sounds more "image" based than a traditional distro or OS, it would make it dead easy to fix problems when they occur, and it would give some users confidence that unless they have a hardware fault, they're not going to have a "broken" computer. At least, that's my take on it.
    5
  427. This is the first I've heard of Steam Play. I'd love to see a video about your opinion after you've used it long enough to form one. Great videos Dorian.
    5
  428. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your style of reviewing and the fact that you take the time to read your comments and actually reply to those who need help or may have a question about something that's absolutely amazing and I really respect that. You've definitely for a new subscriber for sure!!!

  431. There's actually a GUI way to install the latest Nvidia Drivers + Bumblebee (optimus). That same program you right clicked to open the Kernel selection menu (Manjaro Settings Manager), has a nice and easy installer for both the Longterm and Latest Stable Nvidia Drivers, and if you're on a Optimus device, it automatically installs Bumblebee and configures it for you. AS for those who prefer or need to run the Nvidia drivers through the terminal, that's also an option :)
    5
  432. For newbies I break recommendations down to 3 categories. 1. IT/Devs, 2. Hobby, 3. Business production. The 1st should have the ability to choose what is best for them. The 2nd doesn't matter so much because if you don't like it change it. But for business production I have advocated either Ubuntu Gnome DE or Linux Mint Cinnamon DE, the LTS Long Term Support versions on either. These are for newer higher performing systems OR Ubuntu Mate or Linux Mint Mate for slightly older, lower spec systems. They are simple, stable, and have huge software selections along with many PPA
    5
  433. Hi Dorian, I enjoyed watching your video. You answered a lot of questions for people like us in the Linux community who are constantly bombarded with introductions to various Linux distros. It has been said that "this distro is the best Linux distro". You made us aware that whatever our needs that exist in our preference for a desktop, that is what it should be. Like you said, if someone asked us which car should they purchase, or what pair of shoes should they buy...that depends on their particular preferences and needs. Dorian, thank you for showing us how to approach our needs when considering a desktop, distro, etc. according to our needs, preferences, and specifications of our hardware as it pertains to the RAM, hard drive and model year of our laptop or desktop computer. To sum it all up, your series of videos are very informative. I did not mean to take up so much of your time! Again, thank you. I look forward to more of your videos. God bless you!
    5
  434. I've used Linux before (Ubuntu and elementaryOS) and installed after my elementary had a hard crash. Since then I've been doing more research and I find that your videos are the only videos that don't annoy me from linux-based channels. Thanks dude.
    5
  435. 2 years from now; "It will be ready when it's ready."
    5
  436. Great video! Once it's deployed on an USBStick, would it be a modifiable installation or just a live/non modifiable one? I need to do that with Ubuntu 18.04 to put it on an 8GB USB Stick, and I've tried unetbootin, but it need 8.6GB to install the distro completely, that's why I need to customize (trim) a VM installation in order to fit it on a 8GB stick :D
    5
  437. "NO NO NO! Not the Terminal" LOL - made my day! Great tutorial. Thanks so much! Always wondered why I should use LVM..
    5
  438. thanks for this guide. i dont even know why snaps and similar utils even exists, seems like a lazy way to distribute applications.
    5
  439. Great video as always! I tried to get in to KDE a couple of times and I simply cannot!! it just feels like a Boeing cockpit with TONS of switches! Damn confusing, so yeah, still a Gnome fan!! But I like how KDE looks though!
    5
  440. Great review, brother. I used elementary as a daily driver quite a few years back. It lasted 3 days... tops. I 100% agree with the "locked down" aspect of the distro. Mac-like is and understatement and that's totally okay for that type of user. I can think of a handful of people I would recommend it to. However.... a distro not recognizing my printer drives me insane and that would be kind of a deal breaker for me recommending it to my mother-in-law. Not having "Elementary Tweaks" and canning settings makes zero sense to me as well. Don't get me wrong. I think Daniel and the team had done some amazing work. It looks beautiful and very consistent throughout. It's just not my cup of tea.
    5
  441. When I read about COSMIC my first thought was "Cmon, we don't need the 11th Gnome-shell-full-of-extensions-renamed DE", ut I must admit that after watching your video, I am intrigued! Never tried Pop OS, nor used tiling WM, but I definitely will give both a try whenever a public beta will be available!
    5
  442. Congrats on 1000.......... I like how peppermint OS can change color of the folders....... Might put this on my granddaughters old laptop. It still has windows vista on it lol......
    5
  443. I switched from Linux Mint to Peppermint and it made a pretty big difference. It’s a lot snappier, things load fast. It’s not as pretty but it still looks damn good. I actually adore the transparency on inactive widows haha

  444. Rock on Rocky;)

  445. Thank you. Always great content.

  447.  @Doriandotslash  Spidermonkey javascript engine is probably the most memory hungry package on the default desktop installation. Firefox and qtwebengine requires a ton of memory too. And qtwebengine takes the crown the compile time. And thanks for these videos. Someones Gentoo installation video made me try to install it myself. Hopefully many more start that journey because of your videos.
    5
  448. You should contact Michael Tunnell (TuxDigital) about your monitor problem. He knows a lot about KDE and Plasma.
    5
  449. That was very helpful! I've watched many videos on Linux and never heard anything about Backports. Thanks for the video!
    5
  450. Success! Finally got around to actually installing and your video helped a lot because it is clear and informative. Thank you!
    5
  451. I've got Manjaro KDE running in a VM as I'm thinking about changing from Linux Mint Cinnamon to something spicier. As a result I came across your videos. They are clear, informative, incredibly helpful and beautifully presented. Hope the new job is as awesome as you expect. (Saw your tweet). I'm a newie to Linux and hope I haven't bitten off too much with Manjaro KDE. Just keep those videos coming and you've got a dedicated subscriber. A big thank you from a Linux convert. Oh could you talk about setting up and using a USB in a Virtual machine please?
    5
  452. My personal choices: - Atom and its markdown-preview package instead of Haroopad, but I mostly use it for editing non-Markdown files. - libvirt and virt-manager instead of VirtualBox, but I definitely miss some VirtualBox features. - Chromium. - Tilix, a tiling terminal emulator. It also has a "Quake mode", which I don't use, but it could perhaps be used instead of Guake.
    5
  453. I've watched a few "how to" videos on Linux commands and found this to be very clear and easy to digest. Great job and keep them coming!
    5
  454. i screwed up my week old lmde 3 cindy linux install but it came with timeshift and i had picked the system files for backup. After booting My computer, it would only show text on a black screen asking for a login/password and then just a blinking cursor. I inserted the live usb stick i used to installed linux, rebooted, and to my surprise when i opened time shift it had my restore point ready to be restored. The program was built to be used this way i just didnt read original instructions. So if your computer wont boot to the desktop and your clueless in the command line environment just set your pc to boot from live usb and open the timeshift program.
    5
  455. Answered all my questions to move on, on myself. Thanks :)
    5
  456. Good video :) Please, show how to use Ubiquity ( or customize the ubuntu installer )
    4
  457. I think we should have a common package manager
    4
  458. Thanks for doing this video! I, as a new Linux user, sometimes feel lost because of videos like "Something is bloat, use this instead". I wanna stick to something to learn it but oftentimes I just spend a great amount of time browsing through more minimal softwares instead of just picking one and go with it. I had this dilemma recently trying to choose a wm and a shell.
    4
  459. Have you tried Artix linux? It has runit and openrc options and is based on arch.
    4
  460. Rather than making that link, you should edit the menu so as to invoke that terminal you want.
    4
  461. Also good luck
    4
  462. I tried a lot of distros over the last 10 years. At the end - and especially when you just need to get work done - I am always coming back to Ubuntu.
    4
  463. Dom0 arigato for explaining this interesting OS. I had wondered for a while if there are any 'pure' virtualization or docker container like OS.
    4
  464. Awesome review, can you also do a Windows 10 install on Qubes. That would be great.
    4
  465. nice video, thanks for sharing. very interesting and reminds me of Kubernetes and Container technology with those templates and disposable vm's
    4
  466. I was just about to comment on what happened since you haven't uploaded anything in so long. Then I read your other reply that you just became a father. Congratulations! :)
    4
  467. Helpful tutorial and great app. I had pepp 9 on my main desktop, somehow I switched to other distro. After playing around a couple days, I found this is not for me and swictched back to pepp 9 using timeshift. Abracadabra.... Back to pepp9 where i left off.
    4
  468. They should run this by default when changing major settings. Not the first time I messed up my entire OS. A bit comparable with what Windows is doing. Btw I assume that this also works with an external or network drive to save your files on?
    4
  469. There is a reason why Linux is used on most servers in the world. Because it's stable as fuck and very secure. As for the Desktop variants, Ubuntu has in fact come a long way. Everything is plug and play. Even the installer is made for idiots with no knowledge at all. Everything mostly just works out of the box (drivers, apps etc.). Does it still have bugs - of course. But so does Windows and MacOS. Still. I'd take a few bugs in Xubuntu (the distro I use) over all the Trojans, Viruses, forced updates, constant relearning of the same interface and other crap Windows users are plagued with or the dumb MacOS relearning because the 'Think different' non-sense never reached a compatible standard and even keyboards look different, behave differently and a lot of stuff just doesn't make any sense - like their grouping of running apps in the nav bar. Talk about appearances. They're full of it and you pay them royally. Been using Ubuntu for 7-8 years now and will never look back.
    4
  470. this ^ Redhat sells their support for a more stable version of Fedora, if you are a business and rely on your servers and computers to work 24/7 as expected buying the support is a life saver, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to, in fact you can download RHEL for free
    4
  471. And drank a beer after that to get rid of the soap taste;)
    4
  472. Reminds me a lot of W10 taskbar;)
    4
  473. 4:11 Wow, just wow. The distros themselves is like the tree of life with how many branches it has, stemming from a single source. Damned fascinating !!
    4
  474. I got into Linux back in 2001 when my Windows XP bsod'd, I started with Open Suse, I have since made the switch to Debian and haven't looked back.
    4
  475. New Linux dude here, thank you for this, lifetime Swindows user and recently switched to Linux, Manjaro and its hard to learn but loving the process!! Love the channel
    4
  476. Great video!!! I really enjoyed the way that you did not talk down to the viewer like so many others do. Thank you for your content.
    4
  477. Nice! Manjaro is pretty awesome. I haven't used it in a what seems like forever. Maybe it's time to check out Manjaro again. Also, thank you for the shout out. You are a gentleman and a scholar. :) Let me know when the new Scion Linux is available for testing. I'd love to take it for a spin.
    4
  478. This was awesome man! Thanks a bunch this really helped me! Just became an admin on my research group's cluster and this is gonna be a great command for the tool bag!
    4
  479. Oh, I can't resist. This video tip was 'purrffect'. 😝 Helpful as usual. Thanks.
    4
  480. Another great video. You should do a video on managing the OS. Windows has a task/resource manager and such but the closest thing linux has to that is the default top command. But that doesn't show GPU, network or disc usage really. I would love to see a video on those that topic as well. Probably add a conky video on top of it as well.
    4
  481. Great video. I was about to use powertop's tunables to see what is going on if I tweak.
    4
  482. Thank you, that was helpful 👍
    4
  483. Awesome Video man. I have been using Linux Mint 19 for about 1 month now
    4
  484. I think saying free/open-source may get you the least heat instead of saying just free or just open-source. Idk, but the community has its sides sometimes and while pleasing everyone is impossible, keeping heated debates away can be done more easily :D
    4
  485. try manjaro kde it's great
    4
  486. Well done. Before watching this, I had no idea what those folders mean in Linux. Now I have a good understanding of FHS.
    4
  487. Wow this is so helpful. You do an awesome job of explaining everything in detail. My knowledge about Linux doubled just by watching this. Thank you!
    4
  488. I saw the video card, gasped, and said "You Saint!"

  489. 1:00 my first computer ... the Kaypro ][ ran CP/M, a precursor to MS-DOS. The keyboard had a handle on the underside and latches to the base to make a BIG ASS SUITCASE

  491. Very well explained, thanks!

  492. I've used Linux almost 20 years and about 90% of that time is just in cmdline interface. GUI is for Windows and Mac.

  494. We all the know secret of "Stuff"
    4
  495. Thank you, Dorian.
    4
  496. Watching on Linux, I've been using it for 3 years and I still didn't know how it worked!... that is, until I saw this video! Great explanation :D
    4
  497. I've been using Ubuntu variants for almost eight years. I've always called /etc "ET-see"and worked on the assumption that it stood for etcetera.
    4
  498. 2:37 /bin been short for I've bin here
    4
  499. Wow! This is fantastic! Just what I needed. I'm a mid-range (not a newbie, but not an expert either). While I had discovered some of this info by trial-and-error, this video just answered A LOT of questions. Great video. Thank you.
    4
  500. Im not sure why I never looked this up before. Enlightened my years of darkness!! Excellent well presented explaination.
    4
  501. this was quite intresting
    4
  502. Hopefully this will save someone else the trouble after a while of searching as to why Plasma wouldn't keep the resolution I set I found the resolution under a post for Kali where the service for open-vm-tools doesn't start automatically so here you go. "sudo ln -s /etc/sv/vmtoolsd /var/service/vmtoolsd" this also fixes the low res login screen on reboot. Share and enjoy!
    4
  503. You go away for seven months and then expect us to carry on as if nothing happened? O.K. then ;-) Hope you and your family are all well and I look forward to more of your content.
    4
  504. Great to see you uploading again man, it's been a while. Great tutorial on basic Arch install, I may have to conquer my fears and try it!
    4
  505. Been on Debian full time for over a year now and have no reason move, also if your on the testing branch your getting pretty up to date software anyway, sure your behind arch that can be a good thing sometimes. Debian is great.
    4
  506. Debian is a bit like a understanding partner. Many are the times that have I wandered, looking for something flashier, craftier, more nouvelle. Many are the times that that farmiliar old text-based installer comforted me in the knowledge that the stability and functionality that I yearn is just a download away, and that my insatiable infidelity is unconditionally forgiven.
    4
  507. Debían is absolutely awesome.
    4
  508. I too have issues with Debian installer, esp the partitioning part. It doesn't recognise previous encrypted partition (not without some circus) to point one. But I didn't know Debian Live comes with Calamares installer. There's always something to learn from your videos Dorian. Thank you. I came to similar conclusion, that it is better to run Debian stable with flatpaks for needed packages. Best of both worlds so to speak...
    4
  509. Debian is my way to go for anything production wise. Quite, nice and safe. But there is always that side machine were I use for trying new things and fell the adrenaline rush, that always had arch and some other new distro now and then. 😃
    4
  510. Arch was fun when I had a lot of extra time on my hands to eek out every RAM/background service savings on my crap laptop I used through college. Now I just install whatever is the easiest and quickest to get up and running and get some work done. Good times :)
    4
  511. I have Manjaro on sdcard my self. You can "test" new mesa-git and remove the 5 year old xf86-video-fbturbo driver (only xorg). Its more 60fps synced with screen in glxgears. But less smooth in some other ways.I Its less packages then regular "manjaro" with arm. I will keep the debian. Didnt know abour read write speeds.
    4
  512. As always, great work, Sir!

  513. Hello DDS! Sabayon is a Gentoo based distribution but uses systemd, has Google Chrome as the default browser and doesn't like if you try to mix Entropy (the GUI Rigo or the CLI equo) with Portage (CLI emerge). A much better choice is Calculate Linux which uses OpenRC and emerge. It gives you the choice to install from source if you wish so. It gives you the choice between Alsa and Pulseaudio during the installation and also between Nvidia, Intel or AMD drivers during the installation! In the future they will have Porthole and/or Pamageli installed Another choice but limited to LXQt is Redcore which has three modes: binary, hybrid, source. Redcore has a GUI package manager too: Sisyphus which I favour by far over Rigo. Best regards.

  514. amazing video!! thank you :)

  516. Innovative or not I think the reason why most GSD people go for a Macbook is because it just works. As Apple owns the hardware/software you don't have to fiddle around trying to install the drivers for X graphics card or X wifi adapter. Being able to install Linux anywhere has its disadvantages because of that. I have a Linux desktop and a Macbook Pro for that reason - so far I couldn't figure out a notebook that is both powerful and offers me a Linux headache-free experience. In most cases people just go for an onboard graphics card, so you don't need to mess with nasty NVIDIA drivers (which are one of the main source of headaches). The problem is that any powerful 15" notebook these days already comes with a NVIDIA GTX 1050 or a similar discrete graphics card. So you need to settle with 13" and less powerful hardware (like Dell's developer edition notebooks) which sucks. I'm speaking as a developer and someone that relies heavily on Unix to get my work done. I think Macs are pretty solid and stable machines. Everything just works out of the box and at the core of it it's still an Unix system - doesn't matter much if Apple has been very innovative or not, in my opinion they are still unbeatable in that aspect. And this is coming from a guy that would prefer much more to fully move to Linux.

  517. Similar to Git kind of... Good

  518. Very cool! So are your NixOS videos. Thanks!
    4
  519. Still wont use fedora. 😅 Ps. I use arch 🤣
    4
  520. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I've been wondering exactly how Silverblue is put together.
    4
  521. Also what I find appealing about Manjaro is the update system. Everything is rolled out over time and when you update it's more or less back to being recent instead of say having to deal with the eventual upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 because it's not supported anymore or for the same reason going from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 because again it'll eventually not be supported anymore.
    4
  522. Nothing's perfect. I am both interested in Ubuntu and Manjaro...
    4
  523. I see so many people saying that Manjaro broke on them. It happens with almost every distro at some point, especially depending on what one may be trying to get to work hardware wise. Software and drivers have been the bane of my Linux life. That said, you need to install the correct way. Root, Boot, Swap, Home at a minimum. This allows update or reinstall if one has a problem our wants to upgrade a non rolling release system with the fewest issues. I learned this back in my Mint days when I was more of a "noob" moving up from Mint 13 to 14. I just carried it over to Manjaro, and then to straight Arch. And as he started more than once, backup, backup, backup. Clonezilla is a great way to back up the system, not just files. I backup the system before I make changes with hardware drivers. But my Arch has been stable for over a year. I like that I only have what I want installed, and no installer bloat.
    4
  524. You would be a guy after BigDaddyLinux (Rocco) hart. He likes Gnome too;) Arch forum not for newbies because of RTFM, but Arch wiki is great. Arco Linux by Eric Dubois for a newbie new to Arch too, because of all the tutorials he does.
    4
  525. Hi Dorian./ Be warned, mock your cat at your peril for it will remember and it will get you! B-) So.............if you are happy that Manjaro is a stable rolling (surely an oxymoron) release are you going to build a Manjaro based Scion OS-alike?

  526. Apologize for the lengthy comment in advance. I decided to start using Linux because three of our machines are running W7. Ubuntu 18.10 on an Intel NUC. A couple of desktop crashes where user gets logged out and icons scattered. My other machine is an Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe. At this juncture have three SSD's. One with the original W7, Ubuntu 18.10, and the third has had a variety of distros. One thing to note is that the GTX650Ti is not UEFI compatible which at the time of build was not mentioned anywhere. Ubuntu with the purple splash screen and then the second progress screen don't display full screen. Also no animated progress dots. I believe this is all related to the GPU. I switched to the Intel onboard graphics and all works normally for boot. Never noticed the setup screen is letter boxed until now after six years of running W7. So, it appears the GPU is not capable of full screen for whatever reason until the drivers are loaded. Ubuntu runs well without issue except for booting described above. I decided to try Manjaro Deepin. 17 worked well. When 18 came out about a month ago I did a fresh install. Noticed right away that the usual boot after post of under 10 seconds went to 60. Did systemd analyze and it indicated under 10 seconds. What appears to be happening is grub boots fine. Then SSD stalls. No activity for 50 seconds and then login appears. Runs normally after. I installed 17 and updated to 18 and the issue was gone. Until an update then the screen would flash white just before login screen. I installed Deepin OS and it did not exhibit the above behavior. So something is up with the combination of my system, Manjaro, and Deepin desktop. One thing I liked about Manjaro Deepin was the login screen was displayed on both monitors. Every distro I've tried, the login was on the wrong monitor. I find it odd that it is so consistently wrong. Its fixable but why is this even an issue? I then formatted the same SSD and installed Manjaro Gnome. No issue with boot times. At the login screen in 8-9 seconds. Running about five days without any issues at all. So I agree....Manjaro is a better OS at this juncture than Ubuntu.
    4
  527. Can't remember what I said on the last video, but I can definitely see this as being incredible for the enterprise going forward. I'm assuming Red Hat perhaps eventually have plans for possibly going in this direction and it will definitely give them a fresh edge imo. That kind of rock solid reliability with easy rollbacks seems like it could be indispensable. It would never catch on for the home user without a GUI control to simplify the process. For myself, TimeShift will suffice for now, but I am still fascinated by Silverblue's possibilities.
    4
  528. Thank you, Dorian. This is very interesting. I am a long-time user of Debian and its derivatives. I've dabbled with RHEL and Fedora some time ago. But this... hm.
    4
  529. "Billy" learning to drive a car and learning to use Linux is a good analogy which made your points easy to follow. Microsoft users are used to being "spoon fed" (users, not sysadmin's etc.) their OS and information so when they dip their toes into the Linux (OK GNU/Linux) environment they are confronted by CHOICE something an MS environment denied them!! In this respect the greatest strength of Linux, for newbies, is its biggest problem. So as you say there are problems on both side of the argument, newbies who are unused to thinking for themselves and Linux "experts" who expect everyone to know the same as them. My advise? Use MX Linux, maybe as a persistent usb installation whilst viewing the Dolphin Oracle YouTube stream B-)
    4
  530. I think you can use Grub Customizer GUI to add acpi_ osi=! acpi_osi='Windows 2009' to kernel parameters in Grub Customizer > General Settings without having to use Terminal. The easy way to edit and configure Grub.
    4
  531. finally, some actual distro review unlike most of the high-subscribe count so-called reviewers which just "installs and shows" and reviews the DE instead
    4
  532. Super simple and really nice looking, also fun to mess with! thanks for showing me man!
    4
  533. Damn, this looks so good. I'm looking forward this release. Interesting features are coming, and the new theme is so sick! Especially for XFCE way better than before. Great video Dorian, waiting for a Full Review. By the way, do you know an ETA?
    4
  534. If Gnome 3 ran a lot smoother on lower-end hardware I'd use it, for now I'm sticking with MATE/Gnome 2. Great video!
    4
  535. I love manjaro i3
    4
  536.  @Doriandotslash  Good to hear :) i have no need either to change away from Debian it does the job well and really stable, i'm just doing updates and get on with my work as OS should do :)
    4
  537. Thanks for making this video! Even in the initial blender video you demo-ed that screen tearing between 0:05 and 0:06 is something ive never been able to fix whoch is preventing me from going to linux full time. Anyone know if thats fixable atall? On nvidia btw
    4
  538. I was actually surprised by the semplicity of this process, thank you, I always despised snaps, but never thought hard enought how to remove them once and for all!
    4
  539. OH SNAP! ____________________________________ Out of the 3 I like appimage, then snap And Flatpack is just WTF where they thinking type of thing
    4
  540. I just tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04, and it failed due to insufficient disk space. Upon investigation, around 6GB of snaps that I did not need (I already had the equivalent apt packages installed!) had been installed somehow. I've removed them all and snapd, and apparently this is how you can prevent snapd from ever being reinstalled: sudo apt-mark hold snapd
    4
  541. Thank you for this great video! I was always afraid of using synaptic package manager because I wasn't sure if the dependencies would automatically be installed (or removed). Not anymore, thanks to you. I love the way you go about presenting your explanations in such a clear and concise manner. You make everything look so easy. Thumbs up!
    4
  542. Hi Dorian./ I had used Linux for a long time and realised that I had never removed a software package - and I was stumped lol, so yes think about removal before installation. Nice to see you using Scion, it certainly has a pretty face now! Is it making a comeback?
    4
  543. KDE is great but Gnome 3 is perfect for my tastes. Also not keen on the Windows-esque look by default but of course that can be somewhat changed.
    4
  544. +1 for Mandrake.....then SuSe 9.3....best SuSe linux in my opinion. Pclinuxos was also good. KDE Neon is my favourite now. Glad you giving KDE a try. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I somehow do not feel at home in other DE's. KDE bitten....that's me.GReat video though. Thank you
    4
  545. Plasma is my second favorite desktop after Gnome 3. Never tried Mate, but all the others never clicked for me.
    4
  546. Have you considered using XFCE? Very lightweight and WAY more customizable than either Gnome or KDE!
    4
  547. great video as always. Personally I prefer something more customizable. But I definitely see myself installing this on.. parent's laptop? Extremely simple!
    4
  548. That's why I like main and independent distros instead of one man dev distros :)
    4
  549. Well done on a really comprehensive review. I've been using Peppermint since PM 4. It's dead easy to use, blazingly quick and lightweight. The devs have left it up to the user on how they want to utilize the system. Something I really find very appealing. I really like using the SSBs. Though not necessarily the stock ones. My webmail, online banking, NETFLIX, Google Maps and Google Contacts etc, all make great SSBs. I've swapped out FireFox for Google Chrome. I've installed LibreOffice and GIMP. It's just a great no nonsense distro that works.
    4
  550. Well done on reaching 1000 subs :) The Firefox and Thunderbird theme locks are to lock them with a light theme when you use a dark theme for desktop, Some dark themes cause problems in Firefox and Thunderbird for example text boxes are black with black text.
    4
  551. Finally found time to sit through this detailed review. I find this OS as the spiritual successor to Chromixium a.k.a Cub Linux (discontinued). At the time pOS was second to this. Anyway, I have pOS 8 installed on a 2008 Acer laptop. Very happy. Since I have no real need to update I shall keep it as it is. If the current install goes south, I'll go for release 9. In conclusion, I prefer pOS than Lubuntu.
    4
  552. Didn't know who Rocky was, good info. I was confused thinking maybe they meant like "Rock Solid" stability, but "rocky" can have a different connotation like a "rocky start" not being stable. Excellent video, thanks.
    4
  553. Rocky Linux should be supported by cloud services providers Financially and technically
    4
  554. Лучше установить Линукс отдельно, а виндоуз пусть будет второй системой.
    4
  555. nice Desktop and that cat is cute :)
    4
  556. I used to use Firefox, then Chrome, and now Brave
    4
  557. I'm currently trying to decide on a Distro that works for me and NixOS really seems like the most intriguing to me so far, however while researching it I also stumbled upon GoboLinux, which seems to have some similarities. Have you had any experience with that distro and if so, how did you feel about it? Also, these videos are top notch, thank you so much for the work you put into these, they've been extremely helpful in helping me understand NixOS!
    4
  558. Thanks for a well done instruction video. For people who just type after what Dorian is writing, according to gentoo handbook it should be MAKEOPTS instead of MAKEOPT in the make.conf file.
    4
  559. Fascinating stuff. I only knew Gentoo from the "install Gentoo" meme, but a fully customizable operating system sounds like you could learn a lot from it. Wish I could do this on my M1 MacBook, but I don't think they're supported at this time. One day.
    4
  560. I prefer Gnome. It fits my life phelosophy. Keep things simple and simplified without clutter. Why clutter with something like KDE. I want a DE that stays out of my way and allow me to get work done. This is the beauty about Linux, the choice is up to the individual. Ps: simplify your life even more and try running Manjaro.
    4
  561. I keep trying out other DE but keep coming back to Gnome, I just prefer its workflow.
    4
  562. KDE is so beautiful but soooo full of options! GNOME is just minimalistic & simple, and if you want more deep control just add the extensions. I have GNOME with Tweak Tool and Dash-to-Panel extension, which is similar to KDE/Win. It's easy, fast, user & touch friendly. Thanks for the great video.
    4
  563. Debian with backports is a Godsend. The kernel is at times at a higher version with backports enabled than the Debian derivatives. Stability thy name is Debian.
    4
  564. Nice video Dorian, just as a reminder, testing repos are very unstable, do a snapshot of your system before modify/install something. Thumbs up dude.
    4
  565. Interesting! Certainly seems easier than relying on ppas.
    4
  566. Yes MX 17 and Kubuntu.
    4
  567. A symlink OS, interesting. This tactic used to be quite popular back in the day when live CD distributions were at the peak of their popularity to enable users to "write" into the static CD image, with their files being on either a floppy, zip/click or, later, a thumb drive. It's worth pointing that symlinks do not insulate you fully from an inconveniently-timed write failure; they just make recovery faster. They also have some security implications with symlink use for privileged applications and it would make security auditing on such a system harder. P.S. Symlinks are definitely not "the actual files" from the OS perspective; that would be the hardlink.
    4
  568. The Nix way is the future
    4
  569. Excellent video, definitely the best I've seen explaining NixOS. Looking forward to the next about dual-boot and UEFI.
    4
  570. Very interesting distro, and a very good walk throug.
    4
  571. wanted to change to nixos, you are a life savior
    4
  572. This is amazing.
    4
  573. Improvement!
    4
  574. DorianDotSlash I am so happy to hear that! I have been telling people about how great Krita is as a Photoshop alternative. I think for most people it works really well. Great people working on it too. I really hope it works for your needs. All the best.
    4
  575. am reading right now to build my linux from scratch for a tech idea i have.
    4
  576. I think the biggest draw to Korora is that it has the rpmfusion and other repos enabled out of the box, and I believe also the non-free codecs, etc. I was able to get my nvidia card (gt 1050ti) running without issue, whereas with stock Fedora I couldn't. Now, after having used Korora a while and understanding the Fedora ecosystem I know all I needed to do to get it working in Fedora was to enable the rpmfusion repo but as a newbie to Fedora I had no clue.
    4
  577. I can relate. I'm trying KDE after more than 10 years of using XFCE.
    4
  578. Thank you. This was exactly what I needed when i deleted my media drive by reinstalling Windows
    4
  579. Had not used this function since ext2 - ext3 days of Linux. But will try this out and wonder what partition types it can recover, since we now have LVM as well as classical primary and extended types. Having both ability to recover partitions and files is really cool need to do this just to see it happen. Very cool.
    4
  580. Very useful. Definitely going in the toolkit.
    4
  581. For the ones that don't know!!! If you remove the tint2 settings icon from the taskbar and you want to use it - just run tint2conf on the terminal...
    4
  582. Lol I'm to deep into Linux. Reading your title, I was expecting like coding a wm from scratch in like bash or python or c. Lol love the video tho, (an artix runit dude - on my mom's phone). 😎.
    4
  583. Hi Dorian, This is the first video I have seen from your channel so thank you for making it. I just wanted to say that I am currently running Pop!_Os and love it although I am still waiting for Elementary Juno to hit the streets :) Eddy is a replacement for gdebi for installing .deb packages and it works very well I might add. Pop OS took alot of heat when it first came out and still does but I think it's one of, if not The best gnome implementation that is ubuntu based. P.S. I do remember the Q-36 explosive space modulator as well. Thanks again for making the video.
    4
  584. Love the background 80s music :)
    4
  585. 16:44 - 16:50 this gives me anxiety just reading it
    4
  586. Your videos are really really good. Clear explanations. Well done!!
    4
  587. I used to rely on remastersys on Ubuntu from 7.10 through 14.04 for system backups by creating a live system from my installed installation. Systemback came to the rescue for Ubuntu 16.04 for the same purpose. Now I just reinstall Debian and keep a running list of the software to reinstall. I have yet to actually NEEDED any system backup yet, as I have not had a hard drive failure, but they were always a great peace of mind. Data should always be backed up separately. Great to hear you stress that. Good video.
    4
  588. Your videos have been amazing! I've always been a Windows + Linux dual boot user, but only a couple months ago I nuked windows and went full Linux. It's been great so far, I miss nothing from windows...
    4
  589. Hi Dorian, Manjaro Cinnamon 18.0 wouldn't install on my system when I got it late winter. Figured it needed a HD to itself. Cool it's installed in VirtualBox. Keep up the good work.
    3
  590. Thank you.
    3
  591. I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 as well and also hated the snap issues, having snap versions of Gnome apps that don't even theme well instead of the "normal" ones, and the fact that they are on Gnome 3.28 but decided to keep Nautilus at 3.26... things like that make it feel more like a patched up version instead of an LTS. I do like Manjaro, a lot! however I decided to give Antergos a try and it's been smooth and great so far, no issues at all. I tried installing openSuse once and it was a nightmare with my hardware, but that was some time ago, can't really give an informed opinion on recent versions.
    3
  592. I really liked Manjaro and had it as my main desktop OS for 6 months or so. My system crashed three times after different system updates. Twice I had to manually fix things through the Manjaro forum, which they were kind enough to help me with, but the third time I just wiped my hard drive and put openSUSE 42.2 and never looked back. Thank you for the video. Keep up the good work.
    3
  593. I would switch to Manjaro. Or if you want to stay with a Debian based distro you could try MX Linux
    3
  594. I bet you choose Manjaro over OpenSUSE.
    3
  595. And here I was wondering why the theming on 18.04 Vanilla was inconsistent... seems snaps don't use the user's themes and stick to Adwaita...
    3
  596. Another good video. I stopped using Ubuntu 18.04 too. I did it once before, when the first Unity release had problems with my graphics. At that time I switched for half a year to Xubuntu. Now I changed again, the laptop runs Xubuntu and the desktop Ubuntu Mate. On my desktop I switched to Mate, because it booted a few seconds faster. They look exactly the same; Plank Dock on the left, Conky on the right and the panel with the Brisk menu and Desktop Switcher on the bottom. Both Xubuntu and Ubuntu Mate are reliable, flexible and very efficient. Currently my host Ubuntu Mate is on line for 11 days, 1 hour and 35 minutes. I have a number of reasons to abandon plain Ubuntu: - Ubuntu 18.04 uses too much of my 8 GB memory and I need it for zfs cache and VMs. - I do not like the way they work with virtual desktops, I need too many clicks. In other flavors I only need 1 click. - Downloading Tweak through the browser is too complex and ridiculous, apt is the way to add OS options. - In general I think, Gnome is too fond on its own GUI gimmicks and it is not flexible enough. - I do not like the clutter with the snaps, but that changes with 18.10 and my Ubuntu flavors are clean. I still use an old VM with Ubuntu 16.04 for my financial applications like Banking and Paypall. The VM is only loaded, when I look at money, exclusively used for my finances and the firewall is closed for all inbound traffic.

  599. Hello DDS! Rather strange to install obmenu and gksu and not use them in this video. By the way to populate your home folder with Downloads, Documents and so on just install xdg-user-dirs and do a simple xdg-user-dirs-update => job done! Maybe a few FreeBSD's in the future? Cheers

  600. Good luck and always remember: You two deserve every bit of happiness this baby is going to bring you.

  601.  @Doriandotslash  yeah, I'm gonna do a deep dive into the documentation. Cheers. :)

  602. You lost me at Xen. abandon ship!!

  603. This is my first time knowing Qubes, soon I'll use this OS for the new PC. Really concise and good introduction video man!

  604. I didn't find this confusing. It's the OS that Ed Snowden uses. More than I'll ever need (until I have a government job) 😜

  605. I'd like to see systemd-boot video if possible
    3
  606. This is great news! Can't wait to start testing with some of our solution partners-- thanks so much for posting!
    3
  607. Hope you're doing well bro, your guides are brilliant.
    3
  608. Dorian uses an external HDMI recorder IIRC.

  609. Great video. Thank you for putting it out.
    3
  610. My biggest issue, No analogue for gnome overview search or krunner. I don't really want to have to install something like Albert or synapse. Also i prefer gnome's way if doing workspaces
    3
  611. cheers!

  612. I had to wash my mouth with soap to get rid of the bad taste in my mouth.

  613. Looks really slick!

  614. Thanks man
    3
  615. Dorian use it for a week. You will love it. I'm a non technical user. Started with Ubuntu, still use it, but switched and settled with Manjaro. It is stable and bleeding edge unlike Ubuntu, which I find only stable and not bleeding edge.
    3
  616. Nice review, thank you for it! The AUR is one of the main advantages of using Archlinux, you your check all the software that's available to you on it, about every piece of software you need. Looking forward to the updates after some time of using it!
    3
  617.  @Doriandotslash  Same here. After hearing Stallman pronounce it, I’m convinced he never heard of the animal and it was probably chosen for artwork later by others.
    3
  618. This channel is so underrated
    3
  619. It's funny that, after using windows for 12 years, I tried Linux for the past 5 months and I started to not like using windows anymore.
    3
  620. Thank you, loved the presentation! Cheers from down under Australia. Could you do a video how do use the bash terminal for beginners?
    3
  621. Manjaro is nice. I've been using it ( KDE, Gnome and Xfce) for some time in the past, unfortunately it's Arch based so you can expect crashes soon or later. I'm happy with Kubuntu right now but I'll be switching to Neon when it comes out in June. Good luck with Manjaro :D What's new with Scion?
    3
  622. If you don't have access to your system considering no one else is able to access your computer it is already safe. If not then ssh or relying on the person who has the access to the computer is the only way.
    3
  623. Really good explaination, nice Video. Rly great! Thx I will now use it for my Rasp Pi and create my own Ubuntu Sys
    3
  624. 1:10 I saw a Gentoo iso ;)

  625. Its great, but I d rather stay on Manjaro KDE or using "short version" like 18.10 tomorrow

  626. Going to have to install this on laptop

  627. Freedom is always the best security

  628. Hey Dorian. A few years ago I would sometimes have issues booting from USB and burning iso's properly to USB. I started making it a practice to reformat my USB sticks everytime prior to dd command. Gparted > select my usb > delete all existing partitions > new partition table (msdos or GPT) > new partition (entire usb to fat32). I haven't had an issue since.
    3
  629. I used it for a few days; it was my first Linux distro since 2006. VERY easy to install. NO problem whatsoever. I ran Plasma. Now... I realized after a few days that I had a week off and wife away, so wanting to get a bit of a crash course I wiped and installed pure Arch. But again, I was very happy with Antergos and I do recommend it to others all the time.
    3
  630. good video, i tried a fey days ago antegros openbox but at the end installer errors (3 times same error) than give up and swich on arcolinuxb openbox ill try it 3rd system if its ok to me swich acual sysmte ubuntu archbased.

  631. Your channel, does not all ways have to be linux. You can incorporate a little camping or outdoor stuff maybe even with a little bit of Technology you use when go camping......
    3
  632. Hello Dorian, don’t fret about these videos. Do what works best for you. Like George Carlin said “don’t sweat the petty stuff and don’t pet the sweaty stuff.” Cheers!
    3
  633. I am really Hispanic about this video.
    3
  634. Great talk! It's a shame that you experienced issues after your transition to Manjaro. This is an example of why I think English Bob every once in a while explodes on his channel over the frustrations of dealing with an OS that always has to struggle to integrate with hardware primarily designed for the other dominant operating systems (unfortunately). As for your episodes, I suggest you go for quality over quantity any day in hopes that you receive only enjoyment from your hard work instead of stress from the pressures of putting out more content continuously. Anyway, thanks for all the good Linux discussions. 😁
    3
  635. Gotta say this is by far the best explanation of the linux file system!! esp for new linux users who are switching over everything can seem overwhelming. From capitalization to root user , you give a nice vrief history of the different structures and got straight to the point. I really liked the video! very informative. I suggest you make more linux based tutorial videos to help others who are new or are interested in switching over from windows/mac. Subbed, liked and looking forward to new videos. I've watched tons of other videos but still get confused with the terminology but you broke it down by explaining how or why this came to be. Thank you x1000000
    3
  636. Great overview of the GNU/Linux filesystem layout. Really well done and explained with a modern distro.

  637. Great vid, When I first picked up Linux this was the very thing that freaked me out most.

  638. Getting back into Linux after 6 years and this was a great refresher! Well presented and thoughtful.
    3
  639.  @Doriandotslash  Awesome! I am excited to see that!
    3
  640. Thank you :D

  641. Hello Dorian,How i make Ubuntu desktop like you ? , I don't know much English but with you i learn Linux and English jeje , i like your videos
    3
  642. finally! some common sense! no ranting, no useless info, no slowed down video, straight to the point and informative! dude, thanks! ps. would be nice to have a printable cheat sheet with this info!
    3
  643. I heard that GhostBSD is a user friendly distro. If you ever can say that about BSD :-)
    3
  644. Can you make a video about BSD systems? For example GhostBSD? * Why use it instead of Linux? * What is the difference? * A few tips?
    3
  645. You've earned my subscription. I've been wondering about this since I navigated to the root directory of my first Android phone. Thank you for that huge 10 mile hike's worth of leg work. You're making newbie Linux users such as myself feel more at ~/
    3
  646. 14:46 as a windows user considering switching to linux, this file system actually seems nice and organized. windows is a mess.
    3
  647. This is fantastic, just sent to a few friends new to Linux.
    3
  648. This is very useful! I used to experiment with Linux in the early days when you needed to be a technical enthusiast to get it to work. It has come a long way with now Steam / Video Games support gaining full momentum. When Windows 8 came out, I knew it was beginning of the end for Windows. I have tried to hold on to Windows 7, but it's been getting so many "updates" - I just can't help to feel like it is no longer an operating system but some interface for NSA and other third party agencies. I feel a sense of growing intrusion and loss of ownership and control, and I don't want to use it. I just installed Linux Mint and omg - I'm loving it! I literally feel some relief from physical/psychological tension, and I realized that working with Windows has actually hampered my productivity because it's just a repulsive system that is growing ever more repulsive and untrustworthy by the day.
    3
  649. wish there was something this good for windows...^sigh^

  650. 0:22 Horror music :D
    3
  651. Very well done. Production was top notch. I have to admit, I learned a thing or two. ...okay maybe three.
    3
  652. Awesome explanation video!
    3
  653. awesome video. I was looking for something like this since i switched to Ubuntu from Win10
    3
  654.  @Doriandotslash  i can help with russian
    3
  655.  @Doriandotslash  But seriously thanks man. That shed some light for me, my daily driver is still Windoof (doof is German for stupid, shows how much we love Micro Schrott <- you can figure that out yourself ;-) But for a lot of task Linux is such a breeze to use, like thin clients on outdated HW for the shop floor so I had to get somewhat comfortable with it. However I never bothered with its inner workings so your content is a gold mine 👍
    3
  656. I understood nothing about the file system, now I undestand that its confusing!
    3
  657. Excellent presentation. Q: What version of Photoshop is/was that and how is it running in Linux? (shortcut on the left margin)
    3
  658. If u ever get a chance and feel like it, do share more in-depth guide on whole filesystem (from programmer side would be a plus). Great video !!! Good job m8 :)
    3
  659. Отличное видео! Спасибо!
    3
  660. "you would type in win, and start windows" ... Oh man, I almost forgot about that. Nostalgia bomb!
    3
  661. I love your style, simple, informative videos with no bullshit. Keep it up, you earned a sub!
    3
  662. That awesome music at the start though, when you're searching for C.
    3
  663. As a Linux using software and firmware developer, thank-you. You have explained a few things more correctly than I knew them. I now finally know for sure that I was correct to call /etc "et cetera".
    3
  664. I tried ubuntu about 7 years ago and accidently deleted everything during partition maybe...scary os
    3
  665. The best tutorial I've seen so far on the topic, saved me a lot of Googling, thanks!
    3
  666. If you think about it, the windows file structure is actually more confusing than the linux one!
    3
  667. This is very interesting. I kinda wanna try out Linux just to go spelunking around inside the OS to see what’s like.
    3
  668. Everyone of those directories makes sense from a sys admin stand point, thank you for explaining them and for giving what the abreviations mean, I always thought /usr meanr user.
    3
  669. Congrats, brother! You just do what you need to do with family and work and we'll be here. We ain't going anywhere! :)
    3
  670. Very nice intro to Void. I have been meaning to get to this one. Thanks.
    3
  671. Hey Dorian, great video. Does it have 3rd party programs in their repos? e.g. Chrome, vscode, etc.
    3
  672. Into the Void w/ Runit and FreeBSD philosophy, cheers!
    3
  673. Great video, I will check it out in a VM soon! What is the wallpaper you showed at the start of the video with the rocket? It looks neat.
    3
  674. Haha you went back to Plasma can't stay away for too long i see. Welcome back 😊
    3
  675. Best guide ever on how to install gnome extensions, thank you!
    3
  676. I already installed but still I like to watch it's installation.
    3
  677. Hey, glad to see a new upload from you :D Your tutorials really gave me a great start into linux a few months ago and still prove very useful to me
    3
  678. Debian 😍😍😍
    3
  679. I used to be an Arch user but I believe Debian + Snap is the way to go these days! Best system stability, and up-to-date applications with Snap! Arch was great, teaching me how to do things manually and how to become an excellent Linux user. I learned a great deal from it, but now all I need is a working environment that will keep itself stable out of the box, and just focus on my work.
    3
  680. I wrnt from Ubuntu to Arch in 2012 I ran Arch for 2 years then made the switch to Debian and I ran on the Stable repos and that install lasted all the way until about 3 months ago when I switched to Fedora. Which yeah I love Debian but I need the updated packages for work. I know Ubuntu exists but damn that was a buggy mess and Fedora just plain works. I still prefer the standard debian installer to calamares or anaconda. Only because you can use the command line install shortcuts in debian, lmao
    3
  681. debian is the best
    3
  682. The overall message about this video is the exact reason I've stuck with Linux Mint 20 cinnamon. Reasonably fast, rock solid reliable, EASY to troubleshoot and repair when needed ( which ISN'T often) , works with MUCH more hardware of all kinds out there than most distros, and for the less tech savvy out there seeking to gtf away from winblows..it's the easiest transition I have yet to see ( yes..easier than zorin os). EVERY ..single thing I used in Windows from the xp days all the way to and INCLUDING 10..just works ( I"m even playing some games from 2002 through 2004 that refuse to even install let alone work in win 7 and onward...EA sports 2002 and 2003 games as well as Prince of Persia SOT Trilogy to name a few...love it) and as a result I'm actually able to play MORE games than I ever could than with Windows. I NEVER thought I'd live to see this day happen when for my games library, I can do MORE in Linux..that in Windows..fucking unbelievable. Now I do look forward to the day where everything I need works in LMDE, but it's not quite there yet.
    3
  683. I've been a Debian user for over 20 years. I think that says something about how I like it. :-) Both for work and at home. Anything else is KVM/LXC (KVM for virtualization of Windows and Linux and some BSD-based firewall appliances, you need the last one you can't connect Windows directly to the Internet). LXC for server production Linux workloads. So production environments can be independently upgraded/managed and their is literally 0 overhead compared to virtualization. I've recently tested I can run Debian 2 as an LXC-container. Tested it for laughs because of an online discussion. So clearly LXC works very well.
    3
  684. Thank you so much for your video. It helped me make up my mind on what replacement operating system I need to switch to. I had been running CentOS 6( i386 32bit ) since 2014 on a desktop. It met my needs wonderfully but is no longer supported since last month. Anyways, Debian sounds good. Stable. No gimicks or bloat like Ubuntu. Thank you for the advice. You have a new subscriber. 😊
    3
  685. This is the first video of yours I've had the pleasure of watching. It is very nice to hear a straightforward, hyperbole free recounting of actual experiences when comparing distros. I might be slightly biased by the degree to which what you're saying closely mirrors my own experience; but frank discussion is just so much more illuminating than what generally passes for critique these days. I landed on Arch when I first came to linux years ago. The Arch wiki was a major part of my Linux education, and is still useful to me today. So all credit to the Arch project in general, it's fantastic. But once I was comfortable in Linux and using it day-to-day; I quickly soured on the amount of work required to ensure that my Arch system was ready to do work when I needed to do work. The system I'm typing on was installed with Debian Jessie way back in 2015. It is still happily running current Debian Stable. Even through all those updates and upgrades, the number of "manual interventions" I've needed to perform has been vanishingly small. A few times a year an update will produce a notice about an item of concern, which can be easily read in the terminal (during the update process) to decide if it applies to my system or not. These almost never require any action on my part, but I very much appreciate that I am actively notified of the potential issues. The need to "… [check] the Arch page to see what manual interventions I need to perform" is a minor but real inconvenience—that affected the way I engadaged with keeping my system up to date. In Debian I just update whenever I have a bit of free time, confident in the knowledge that doing so is extremely unlikely to force me into trouble-shooting mode in the middle of my work day. Upgrades only happen every couple of years and only require about the same amount of work as a regular update on Arch (at least Arch circa 2015). To my mind, the expectation in Arch that you will pro-actively read all the update notices is a really serious impariment to work efficiency. That, and any time spent implementing the recommended mitigations and/or fixing update related issues; is wasted time that nets you nothing. This far outweighs the very small advantage of more recent software versions. Particularly these days, when on the rare occassion that there IS a real advantage to a newer software package, it is trivially easy to access it via flatpak, appimg, guix, etc.
    3
  686. Even I had to take the same decision. Manjaro update screwed the boot and it was bit tough to repair with my education going on. Since I use Nvidia, I jumped to PopOS for the stable Nvidia drives.
    3
  687. Still loving your videos. :D
    3
  688. Why I left debian: ppas
    3
  689. There's no other way to say it.... Debian is rock solid! It's also hard to break it even when you try too (Chris Titus found that out last year)!
    3
  690. I personally use a lightweight Debian spin called AntiX. The install is quick and intuitive (especially compared with Debian's install!), and you can install and run a persistent version off of a USB stick. It comes with several lightweight desktop environments, chief among them (for me, at least) being IceWM, for which the distribution maintainers provide some moderately spiffed-up themes. But, at its core, AntiX is Debian - and it's a pleasant experience!
    3
  691. You hit on the best reasons I avoid Arch. Continual updates and manual intervention when something goes awry. I want my computer to JUST work whenever I use it without having to deal with downtime. However, you don't get the latest software but in most cases it's unnecessary and we have options with package managers. Cheers!
    3
  692. Fun fact: I have both Arch AND Debian :V Well technically 1 MicroSD card for archlinux, 1 MicroSD card for Kali Linux that I alternate back and forth for the Luls And the rice
    3
  693. i also used archlinux two years ago. but i soon got frustrated of its frequent updates and system break. i sometimes searched hours to fix for the update break. Finally i moved to debian and i can say i m very happy. No unwanted updates or system break. Now using system more than fixing it. 😊
    3
  694. Thank you for the vid. Had it playing as a kind background info while finishing up my Pine64 forum creds. Got my Pinebook Pro today and I' m just about to to start my first boot. Pine Time should be arriving soon. Phone and Tab are still out of stock. I appreciate your skill and honesty in your video. Also like the way you kinda mashed the software without patience, even though I know better, still can't help doing it myself.
    3
  695. Using mine with the Debian from EMMC. Tried the Android Image - Not a good one to use. No play services installed and not too good too use without touch. Love the bootable microsd slot. Already used that to repair my OS on the emmc. Built quality is perfect for the price. It looks way more expensive. Using it as my main surf-terminal from now on.
    3
  696. Great Review can't wait till I get mine I'm guessing my PinePhone shall come first so I'll be fine .
    3
  697. Nice video very informative I plan on getting this and the pinephone.
    3
  698. Extremely helpful!
    3
  699. Thank you so much! After watching this, I am able to set up any hard disk with uefi myself, and now I also know how uefi actually works!
    3
  700. I try to install Bumblebee but at the end of the tath day i have to reinstall my distro. Now i am using this method. I have a question, Its posible that my intel uhd 620 series run the sistem animations with a litlebit of lag?? Im on kde neon last build. Thanks for the information dude!
    3
  701. Fix for tearing work properly. Thanks man, you saved me a lot of time.
    3
  702. This is crazy! This is like me dd a live cd image to one like distro sized usb partition and having a second writable ex4 partition for use files and installs.. but now it is a OFFICIAL thing! I remember reading about this on Amiga OS with a ROM based GUI based Amiga OS kickstart. The real OS is the ROM kickstart(IMAGE), and the OS is on a harddrive(user files and installable apps).If all failed, reboot to the kickstart, or live cd(in Linux world),etc. This is what I have wanted since I started using computers with Windows 95!! A read only stable OS that does not crash and force you to reformat a hard drive.. AHHHH! Now I see this as the future lol! I assume this is the case because of SSD short life spans and Linux traditional installs WILL kill the limited write cycle cheap nand chips on MOST retail and cheap chinese SSD drives every one is buying now. Less writes, less fails of nand flash cells.
    3
  703. @John B. 1. no, 2. yes

  704. This reminds me of Qubes
    3
  705. I hope Silverblue is the future of Linux. It certainly has potential to change Linux forever, and for the better! Yet Silverblue’s biggest problem is that the official documentation doesn’t explain it clearly. This video does. Thank you!
    3
  706. Really great video man, maybe this is not the linux future but I'm pretty sure is the fedora future and my future system too.
    3
  707. Wow. Well explained. Can you, ohh I know you can. OK let me request this way. Will you make a tutorial video on installing CentOS minimal and Cinnamon on it? Thanks in advance.
    3
  708. Thank you DorianDotSlash for this informative video. Because of you and babyWOGUE, I'm completely sold on Silverblue. I do believe now that this (OSTree+Containers) is the future for Linux. Hope other distros follow suit.
    3
  709. Wonderful video. Wonderful product. I've been a PC tech for 35+ yrs and a Linux enthusiast for 10. My dream has been to install an OS on a client machine that is stable, modular, upgradeable, and crashproof -- in other words, putting me out of a job. After dealing with Windows BSODs, Windows OS Bloat, Ubuntu PPA hell, great QC with Ubuntu 18.04, and BAD QC with 20.04, I'm ready for a change. After just 2 days of playing w/ SilverBlue 32, I'm already hooked. I like separating partitions so I'm using 1 GB /boot, 32 GB / and the remainder as /var -- all formatted EXT4. It seems to work great. btw, I boot BIOS not UEFI on this old machine.
    3
  710. Very well explained. Tried on a VM and worked (minus cinnamon) . Subscribed!
    3
  711. I'm using it right now. I had to learn VB language, so I was forced to use windows for a while, but after the last week's update which gave me corrupted files I had to delete in safe-mode command prompt, it reminded me that Linux is not less stable after all... So here I am, back at pop os!. It is much more easy to manage on a desktop with no integrated graphics :) Pop is really a good quality distribution, I might stick to it for some time.
    3
  712. for me it was awesome i installed with the non freedrivers and right of the box BAM primusrun works super awesome (i just needed to ad current user to bumblebee group)
    3
  713. I do not use Gnome, I just don't like it and it is not setup for logical use. However, Manjaro KDE is the very best KDE distro out there bar none. Everything just works and it is because of Manjaro KDE that I have decided to come back to KDE. from XFCE. Took Manjaro a few years to reach the top but I believe it is because they started listening to the end users not like Ubuntu where only one man makes the decisions because it's his money. Very poor way of becoming perfect and the reason there are so many variations of that one operating system.
    3
  714.  @Doriandotslash  yes, it is a great team. Back when we had that issue with OpenSSH that effected all computers including windows and linux, I posted a message about it on the Manjaro forums. I got a reply direct from Phil saying I could fix it immediately by getting the upgrade package from the AUR, or wait a day or two and it would be coming downstream. I know windows users who had to wait a month or more for that patch, and they didn't get to speak directly to Bill Gates about it, either!
    3
  715. Nice video 😊 You can also use inxi command to have details on drivers installation status 😉 sudo apt-get install inxi Once installed use command inxi -b
    3
  716. Precious gold! Thanks!
    3
  717. And I thank you for this video, it really healped me =)
    3
  718. I just did a little partitioning -shows 200000000 partitions
    3
  719. Excellent Video Dorian. I took your advise and installed Silverblue on an old Lenovo quad core laptop I had laying around and really liked what I saw in terms of performance. It didn’t take me long to get use to using the sudo rpm-ostree command and had three different layers installed. I even rolled back to the original just to see how well it worked (of which it works very well). I did have a problem with virtual box however which had me a bit miffed but I am going to give it a try again and see if I can get it to work. I know it can now because I saw you did it. =) Anyway, Thanks for the tips! I will be running it through some paces in my lab and let you know if I come up with anything unusual. Aloha!
    3
  720. Love your videos. I've become a sub. I am so glad that you are updating us on this type of technology. I plan to use it (eventually) to learn how ostree's work and play with it myself.
    3
  721. Thanks man, i've been struggling with the Grub all day long and you helped me. I fking love this OS tho, i love a good challenge
    3
  722. Thank you! Looking forward to the next video about package management!
    3
  723. For anyone having problems, make sure that you wrap "nodev" in square brackets and pluralize device. If you don't, it causes an issue where it ignores the canTouchEfiVariables and you will not have actual dual boot,
    3
  724. excellent video, was completely unable to get garuda to run after installing nvidia drivers, no info or guides helped at all. Adding windows 2009 bit sorted it straight away, but I'm intrigued, what are these additions actually doing? (why windows 2009/2015? the linux one at least makes some sense) Thanks for that help anyway. Well earned sub.
    3
  725. Hey thanks for your video. you're really good at explaining things, i feel a lot of people brush over things sometimes. Only issue i have no is trackpad not working :(
    3
  726. Really enjoyed this video. Chock-full of great info, but the boot up issues examined were incredibly helpful and seldom discussed. Home run on this topic. Thank you. 👍
    3
  727. Very well stated and great advice. Thanks.
    3
  728. I can’t stand people that say any variation of “google” for this reason: I always find them as the only response to a thread from five years ago for a question I just GOOGLED
    3
  729. Best video I have ever watched for fixing nvidia optimus problems. Thank you very much. Will recommend to everyone who needs help with nvidia optimus :)
    3
  730. We just added it as a new feature for v18.0 release series. Old habits die hard, but since you mentioned pacman using a different syntax than apt, we thought: why not simplify things and have one CLI application able to manage packages and scripts from the AUR.
    3
  731. @ DorianDotSlash you should, Fedora is my distro of choice honestly
    3
  732. Manjaro best <3
    3
  733. I do like apt but , never had any problem using portage or pacman eather. Pamac i only use for searches.
    3
  734. Been using Manjaro XFCE 18.0 RC1 since it came out. Runs great no issues. Gotta love Manjaro.
    3
  735. Nice video. Is the vbox guest addition thing a manjaro feature or a Linux kernel feature?
    3
  736. I have tried refresh mirrors but speed remains slow. Its because Manjaro doesn't have mirrors in my country so powerpill is the only option to boost download speeds.
    3
  737. On an unrelated note, could you make a video on Fedora Rawhide? I think it would be interesting to talk about. Just my 2 cents though ;)
    3
  738. This came out? Didn't even notice. Giving it a shot right now
    3
  739. Excited for the upcoming 3.30 version? Supposedly, it'll recieve a huge performance patch
    3
  740. i think i will go with that Troll.. eehhm Goblin... or was it Ogre? Imp? Gremlin?
    3
  741. Three years later, these videos still help people! Thanks for that!
    3
  742. Nice video! What about Gnome Boxes, does it use qemu/kvm as well?
    3
  743. Note: qemu-kvm is no longer mantained and everything is now in the mainline qemu package
    3
  744.  @Doriandotslash  Cheers Dorian, followed your instructions and it works a treat, will save a lot time not having to move files around when the ssd fills up!
    3
  745. As for myself with minimal computer experience started Win 98 several years with windows was frustrated with crashes etc. Was in the goodwill book section saw a book on fedora that piqued my interest but was beyond my current level of understanding of operating systems AN THEN UBUNTU showed up and I have never looked back.
    3
  746. I still search the internet files that are not in the Repos. I have a folder of all my fav linux programmes, like I used to in windows. Thankyou for this video
    3
  747. i still use both. flatpak gimp is great just kind of annoying to update cause now i have 2 package managers bleh. but then again I have npm, luarocks, and ruby's package managers.
    3
  748. This cleared up a lot. Thanks!
    3
  749. Nice content...found you through Matt Hartley's comment section
    3
  750. congrats on a baby!!!!
    3
  751. Hi Dorian you can install Nautilus without any problems in KDE. Thats how i have to get in Root filesystem, because thats the only way since dev of KDE locked it down. Also manjaro's KDE is messed up with side menu root menu in dolphin it messed everything with sudoers up. I will show in video in virtualbox? unless they fixed it. Thanks for catch up. Wow 10years on gnome i don't think i stayed that long on anything before :D
    3
  752. Nice video. Curious. Where did you get the wallpaper and what font style are you using in your terminal? Thanks.
    3
  753. Hacked Linux since 1997 and have spent hours fixing distros. I use Arch but this MX17 is absolutely great. Never gave any distro a ten but this is so well done it deserves a 10+ great work MX crew great work.
    3
  754. MX w/ the excellency!
    3
  755. Usually people dont come to Linux to be limited.
    3
  756. Appreciate the way you demonstrated all the new features instead of just chatting about them. A great introduction for people that aren't familiar with POP!_OS.
    3
  757. Yeah, it's nice to run a big, independent distro like openSUSE, with its long history, large community of contributors and the support of a major enterprise vendor like SUSE behind it, developing innovative technologies and moving Free Software forward.
    3
  758. Y.A.S.T. Yet Another Setup Tool
    3
  759. I'm number 1.900! Great content, man! I'm using Peppermint on an older computer, really liking this distro.
    3
  760. Congrats ooooon the 1000! To Peppermint or not to Peppermint, that' s the question;) I don't like Peppermint, I love it! Have a nice weekend Dorian.
    3
  761. Where have you been the last year my dude come back and make some more videos we miss you!
    3
  762. Look forward to future review of this OS
    3
  763. Great job! I have installed Gentoo right along with you. Glad I did since you showed the pitfalls to look out for or it would have taken longer to fix the install. I installed konsole before entering the desktop because you had pointed out that it isn't automatically installed, for instance.
    3
  764. Brilliant. Good tutorial.
    3
  765. Very useful video! I never thought about it, but now I adapted the layout of Firefox and Chromium after your video. I use Chromium for my Host OS, because it runs 6%-9% more efficient (CPU) with the Nvidia driver for my ancient 1GB GeForce 8400GS. I use Firefox in my Guest OSes, because it runs 15%-20% more efficient (CPU) with the Virtualbox 3D driver. Chromium has another small advantage, it starts up in the exact same space again, it had, when you closed it. Firefox starts top/left aligned and it overlaps with my Plank Dock, I don't like it and I move it a centimeter each time.
    3
  766. first one here hahahahahah
    3
  767. 👍👍👍 Have a good one Dorian !!
    3
  768. The most valuable tutorial on Youtube - a great asset alongside the handbook.
    3
  769. Hey Dorian Gentoo is hair pulling however LFS, yes it's not a distro like Gentoo but it puts Linux on your computer, is suicidal after 4 attempts and almost throwing myself and the pc out the window I got there. It lasted 45 minutes and 28 seconds straight back to arch. I climbed everest I came down really quickly lol :-)
    3
  770. I sometimes use duct tape and a hammer. Only thing it tends to be permanent. I also think elementary os. Might be a worthy shot...

  772. Try Solus

  773. I second Peppermint OS as a suggested install. Now, if you go Pop! OS (NVIDIA) - watch out for strange issues especially when booting up, which I experienced. Upon researching, I discovered that Kernel 4.15.24 has been a problem with various distros. If I boot in with kernel 4.15.23, no issues(so far). Apparently, the 4.15.2x releases are putting Linux users through some bumpy rides recently. Otherwise, Pop! OS is really impressive and fast. As for KDE issues, ehh what are going to do. I know I'm in the minority here, but I admittedly love the workflow and slick experience of Gnome comparatively. Especially on how Pop! Implements Gnome. KDE feature wise is incredible and memory management is great, but man I just don't like the experience. There just seems to be too much going on and with all that customization, I'll never get any work done. 😬 I'm sure you will make the right decision and if not, then all of us will be here to say "Hey I never told you to do that..no not me man". 😜

  775. People who talk bad about Debian don't know what is power of Linux

  776. you will have more updates if you are not using a snapshot repo for debian, and instead enable /etc/sources.list.d/debian-testing.list it seems like it has a # so it disabled :)

  777. Sorry, reality was biting and you had to pull back from Scion. Was a bright idea and you had interesting features, but a one man operation is really tough, and one can get spread too thin. Your ideas for the future are good and wish you the best and will continue to follow your videos. Best of success. You have a nice presence on your videos.

  778. Im new to this channel and you did a phenomenal job explaining nix under 5 minutes. Thank you!
    3
  779. This is excellent! I may have to give NixOS a go!
    3
  780. Cool vid! Been using nixos for about half a year now, very nice to see stuff explained in an easy way for beginners. One thing to note about formatting is that you can do the following: ``` boot.loader = { grub = { enable = true; device = "..."; }; }; ``` Thats just a quick example of course, but looks a bit prettier :)
    3
  781. This video is fantastic, love that you answer a lot of these questions and insecurities that we newbies might have. I think this might be what I needed to take the leap and try dual booting nixos over summer break.
    3
  782. Thanks for introducing me to a new package manager. It does seem like a superior alternative to flatpak if it had all the packages that flathub has. I might play with this package manager.
    3
  783. this is a great video about nixos that actually explains what it is about and how it works
    3
  784. I was searching for a video like this last week. Thanks for making this
    3
  785. Excellent as usual, going to try this distro
    3
  786. Thx for your informative video. I've been using Linux for about 10 yrs now and am sick and tired of reinstalling Windows every few years and Linux at seemingly random intervals. I tried Fedora Silverblue but was sick and tired of the slow boot-up times & shut-down times and slow rebuild configuration times. NixOS seems to be the nexus of stability & configurability. I took a cursory tour of NixOS, but now I see that there is definitely a steep learning curve.
    3
  787. Thank You!
    3
  788. Very cool to see a walk through for the system customisation- i've only used Nix on existing installs but that looks very flexible. The motivation was a bit muddled, though - existing package managers know how to do atomic updates to single files, what they struggle with is new packages with conflicting dependencies. With Nix, individual packages should just work, and if packages don't work together correctly it's due to a conflict directly specified in your environment, a problem which is tractable. Anyway, just a nit. Hope you can mv -T ~dorian soon.

  789. @28:26, the `pkgs` could probably be dropped, i.e. just `xfce.xfce4`. The `with` expression binds all the elements of `pkgs` in the scope of its body. In any case, the reason it's `nixos` in one place and `pkgs` in another is because the system passes in the entire attribute list with that name inside your configuration.nix. But I agree, it's super annoying.

  790. The intro and outro animations are really amazing. Well done.

  796. That was KDE's now horrible yakuake rather than guake which is better in every way..Guake is amazing and there are things you can do with it most people have no idea..Anyway I use Arch and have done for years..It's one of those comments you have to put in front of Arch..Yes Arch is stable..More so than Ubuntu

  802. 11:41 I did not know about the "tint2 &" command - it is for the program to run in the background... right?
    3
  803. I'll definitely be watching the next few episodes as they're really fun and give me some ideas for my own setups. I've been trying to convince my friends to try Linux for years, and showing them your video sparked some of their interests.
    3
  804. Yes sir. I've got the "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus"" along with LightDM. It's not a huge deal, but would have still like to see it work. Your videos are kick arse btw. They're very satisfying to watch.

  808. I just used a tool called JLiveCD to create a backup of my system so I can carry all my installed apps and custom profiles with me in a USB drive. At the end there, from what I understand the appearance changes you made only apply to the user you created, isn't it? If you want to turn these changes default for new users in the future, copy all contents of your /home/username folder to /etc/skel . Just be careful to delete .Xauthority and .ICEauthority from there, leave .Xdefaults there. Squashfs is really interesting, I just create and ISO with pre-installed Wine and all its profiles, Firefox custom profile with extensions and cookies, VLC and other goodies, and my ISO only has 1.5 GB, compressed from original size of 5 GB. For me where Linux really shines is when you boot live, you can experiment a lot and if things go wrong you just reboot with a fresh start. Takes a little bit of tweaking to use Linux "live" in a daily basis but you learn a lot in the process and also really satisfying experience when things go right, with the plus of not making your hard disk overwork with constant reads/writes.

  810. Thanks for your review. Agree with your comments about "known" vs Pop!-made on the System76 website. My experience has been that Pop! is fast, sleek and easy-to-use. It is geared to simplicity and productivity. The speed, responsiveness, integration, price, stability, and just about everything I see about it is stunning. At unboxing, it looks bland. Upon using, this distribution seems to reach out and offer you anything you need to get work done quickly and smoothly. Pop! reminds me of the Palm Pilot and the first handheld, screen-based phone manufactured by Palm, Inc, Treo (agree Ubuntu deserves credit as does System76 crew). Those products were revolutionary, far ahead of anything else on the market and perhaps too far ahead of their time. I would take a Pilot to parties and people went crazy, "Why don't I have one of those?!?!" Then, Jobs got the smart-phone bug, copied the basic Palm layout, and the iPhone was born, with the Palm Pilot and its offspring dying a mediocre death. Pop! scares me in that it is similarly way ahead of its time. I am getting work done in hours which use to take days on a Mac or Windows using machines which sometimes cost more than a System76 Oryx. As I sit here churning out media at a record pace, I have nightmares of Jobs clawing his way out of the ground to send yet another product to an early demise, stopping Pop! and the revolution it threatens to spawn. Maybe I should quit worrying and just enjoy the moment?

  812. Nice video Dorian. Keep it up

  813. When Pop first started off, I thought that it might as well be a theme for Ubuntu and not an entirely new distro. Do you feel like it's more than just theming?

  821. You may know this, but to filter snap out of your mounts on command line... $ mount | grep -v snap
    2
  822. Honestly I tried Ubuntu at first but I just didn't like the feel of it so I've been using Linux Mint and I haven't ever had a problem with it
    2
  823. Yeah, I've been stomping through the distros hard over the last couple of months (attempting a full MacOS retirement) and no matter what, I keep coming back to MX17...I keep rotating installs of other distros in an effort to find something better, and it hasn't happened (both on my Mac and on "PC" hardware). MX17 just works, and with it's Debian base, I can pretty much get everything I need (especially third-party)...I even have some flatpaks running, which has been smooth and easy.
    2
  824. I switched to Fedora 28 and am running 29 beta now. Completely satisfied.
    2
  825. Give Solus a try if you like the idea of a rolling release. I think Manjaro is a good choice too. Haven't had much experience with openSUSE. Good luck with whatever you try and I'm sure you will find a distro you really like.
    2
  826. Good idea, I have a look at it.
    2
  827. I'm happy to see that toxic fanboys aren't bashing the comment section. I use non free drivers too, just don't have time to waste just finding the software.

  828. I know the type, if you even mention the lag in linux or the fact that it often freezes they start getting nasty..

  829. Thank you for this video. FOSS gives you the freedom to choose and you certainly shall choose what works best for you under your particular circumstances.
    2
  830. Thank you, Dorian. I use FOSS whenever possible but if I want to watch Netflix etc then I'll use whatever I need to. Still, I haven't needed to use .doc and other Borgware file types since 2007 or so. Berating people for not being "pure" is pointless.

  841. WOW, Thank you. Found out about Qubes on a feed on secure OS, I was hoping to using it but was not sure what it was capable of. Your video is excellent it gave me a very clear understanding of its setup and what it is capable of with out me having to go through weeks of rebuilds. I have a few hardware VM and storage servers at home and wanted to figure out how to rebuild an old system for VM for training on Linux and appliances as well as windows this is a totally awesome OS build for quick Virtual lab builds and tear downs in a single Box. THANKS Again...
    2
  842. Yeah, and that system was v created by polish woman Joanna Rutkowska - security specialist ;))) fantastic thing! Thx for great explanation
    2
  843. Now I know what to do with the laptop from my kitchen window.. - it's going to have Qubes on it. Thank you, nice video / presentation!

  855. Timeshift can come handy in case if updates break the system.
    2
  856. I don't like TS because it doesn't do any compression of the backup. You end up with the same size/structure as the source. It is basically y a simple copy. Also the inability to backup to NTFS partitions make it dead in the water for me. All the backup devices are NTFS formatted and the idea to make a separate EXT partition just for backup, unreadable by Windows is not appealing at all.
    2
  857. Great tutorial Dorian. I have nothing to backup.
    2
  858. Thumbs up for the first 20 seconds telling me what I came to find out, which is that this can be used from a USB drive to restore a broken system.
    2
  859.  @Doriandotslash  I used to use Deja-Dup, but when you look at the files on the NAS, you don't know what they are, or where they are from. That's why I use Beyond Compare for Linux. It's an industrial strength file copy utility. One could use rsynch as well. The point is, it's hard to beat a simple file copy because of the ease of understanding what the files are, especially if you have enough space and security, and do not need to concern yourself with encryption and compression. Joe Collins does the same, (but I don't think he uses Beyond Compare.)
    2
  860.  @Doriandotslash  To answer your question about what do we use for backup, I use Timeshift to backup my Linux O.S. as we discussed, and then I backup my data by simply copying it with Beyond Compare up to the NAS. I find encryption and compression to be impractical, overly complex and irritating. A simply file copy is my favorite way.
    2
  861. Nice! Comparable to TimeMachine in OS X! Do you need to do a partition on the same drive? Could I have an external drive to plug in via USB and backup when I want? Is there a native KDE backup program or is Time Shift the best to use? Thanks!
    2
  862. I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 and installed Gnome Vanilla. I'm very happy with it. I thought I might miss the Ubuntu orange and purple, but I don't. I've got Wayland turned off and Xorg on until they sort out the problems with video. I'm a patient guy. It will happen.

  863. Hi. New subscriber here. I tried OpenSuse recently and it was very clunky for me. So then I spent a good 5 or 6 months on Solus - love it, but the available packages for Solus are limited. I tried more distros, but wound up with a Fedora-based distro named Korora. It's basically just a nicer default themed version of Fedora, with rpmfusion (a repo for the non-free stuff such as nvidia driver etc.). I would definitely recommend checking it out if you want to try something new. The only thing holding me back from going back to Ubuntu is that Fedora is a great mix of both newer packages/updates while also still being very stable. Another very interesting one to try that I put on an old laptop that flies - MX17. I'm using it now on a dual-core celeron laptop that my daughter outgrew (I bought it for her for Christmas ~5 years ago for $199). MX17 absolutely flies on this thing. Of the 4GB of RAM I rarely go above 500mb of usage even with Firefox and other apps open. What's holding me back from putting it on my desktop/main machine? It's Debian-based so older packages : (
    2
  864. Install flatseal (flatpak) and give steam app host filesystem access.
    2
  865. Three uploads in one week! I missed all 3 of them at release here too, only finding out on Twitter today (blame youtube). While I like Gnome, I always found Budgie nicer to me, and more usable for me. Anyway, from where I am in the video, seems quite good.
    2
  866. I'll stick to Mac and get apple silicon when this one reaches end of life, so much less hassle.
    2
  867. Mario Zenarju my laptop is Optimus enabled, and Fedora was much more of an hassle to set it up than Manjaro. EDIT: For anyone with Optimus on Fedora, don't use RPMFusion's drivers, but Negativo17's instead.
    2
  868. Upgrade your gpu. That's honestly the only way. Gnome3 is designed for modern hardware, you have Gnome2 (Mate) for older hardware. Though, I'm using Gnome3 on my Intel Pentium B950, and it works smooth enough for my noticing. Fedora has the best Gnome3 integration today, and driver manager is similar to Ubuntu or Manjaro, only built into the app store. All you have to do is install RPM Fusion https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration from this site, both free and non free versions, that way you'll have the complete experience. Install updates, install Nvidia driver, and godspeed. Sorry for the long post and hope everything ends up as it should :D
    2
  869. Thank you my good sir for making this video, I had no idea what Linux was until today.
    2
  870. Thanks. very instructive. Can you make video about bash script & automation?
    2
  871. I love everything about Linux. Been installing it several times over the past 10+ yrs. But somehow cannot switch to it completely. FIRST it was the drivers. Next time it was the drivers. And I remember the last year I painstakingly bid farewell to Manjaro because of lack of a Huion driver. I have found one written by some enthusiast, but had to manually correct the paths for it to work. And I still am craving to switch to Linux, but I suspect it will again cripple my work by the absence of drivers for display tablet or trackball or something else. But it's itching so much, that I will do it anyway. This time - as the main and only OS.

  876. Very nice and learn a lot from yours. thanks How can I use this setup as a base, create an image ISO of my further VM's? It will really save a lot of time to do every step from scratch.
    2
  877. Cool video! Very helpful for tinkerers which all the Linuxoids are.

  878. Lifesaver!!! I was in the midst of embarking on a horrendous implementation of a low-level web server to run it as a daemon process... but if I just use SCREEN! Who needs that shit anymore! :)
    2
  879. When I use "detach", if I close the SSH terminal completely or turn off my computer completely and then turn on my computer again and connect to the server with ssh again, does it continue from where it left off? So, for example, I run a python script and then "detach" it. Even if I completely turn off my computer, my script continues to run on the server, right?
    2
  880. Thanks. You can press ctrl+a then tap d, you don't need to press ctrl+a then ctrl+d.
    2
  881. All the best for that but before trying Gentoo instead of the Live DVD it's better to try it using the mini iso w/ multi cores + treads supported Processor. You can firstly try Redcore, Sabayon and Calculate. I dunno 'bout Sabayon devs but Redcore and Calculate devs are pretty handy and very friendly guy and also you can directly asking anything 'bout Redcore and Calculate. For Gentoo compiling I hope these vids will help you : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbvvTNaAcHSgvKyxqsMl2adKl9UlNFRZ_

  882. Hi, thank you for this tuto, very usefull. The terminal you are using (with the big white arrow) looks very cool, can you tell me what kind of terminal theme or app you installed? Thanks
    2
  883. The first (kde) program I tried to install is my favorite ebook program calibre. IT ERRORRED OUT. Too bad. I wiped this distro immediately. All other kde distros do support calibre. (This happened after updating the release btw)
    2
  884. Good video dorian. xD I remember that I read somewhere and they said it was a bit unstable, let's see if it is now better.
    2
  885. Hey Dorian, great video. This is one of my favorite Ubuntu based distros. By the way, could you take a look at Ubuntu 18.10 daily builds? I've been testing it and have noticed very low RAM usage on real hardware; 464-500mb at boot with htop and the new theme look gorgeous.
    2
  886. I love XFCE but I have a soft spot for KDE because it really is just so pretty to look at. Have been playing around in Neon on a Virtual Machine and I've been really impressed. May give it a whirl on hardware depending on how you report your experience with it. Great video as always.
    2
  887. Thx man for the tutorial 👍
    2
  888. I have been ages waiting (to know about) for a solution of efficient power consumption for Linux laptops. I have already enabled TLP in one of my laptops and like very much how it works. Thanks for the very good video.
    2
  889.  @Doriandotslash  damn! I got an MSI GE62 2QD Apache Pro with same specs and under Windows I get more than 2hs but with xubuntu I get 1h and 30m or less... Im gonna try now with tlp!
    2
  890. Found TLPUI https://github.com/d4nj1/TLPUI For those who prefer GUI over terminal.
    2
  891. Hi, because of u i switched from linux mint xfce to manjaro gnome . Im a mobile app and game developer so I need my nvidia card to run smoothly . every thing looks ok except i cannot find how to install the nvidia temperature applet !
    2
  892.  @Doriandotslash  yes it was mostly the GTX graphics on my system. Installed recommended graphics and turned off GTX ... It's much better now ... Thanks for your time
    2
  893. Thanks for posting the commands, I will see if tlp ekes out the battery time on my poor old Acer laptop. I would never have guessed that SSD's consume more power than spinning disks, I obviously need to do more research. However the read/write speed improvement (even though connected via an old SATA port) would seem to justify the expense, or at least that is what I will tell my wife! B-)
    2
  894. Nice video!
    2
  895. Excellent review!! 😀
    2
  896. Q4OS reminds me of what Korora is to Fedora or Gecko is to OpenSUSE. It's an awesome Debian base but not stuck to the "free only" policy. As for stock, plain ol' Debian, there is no "non-free" software (google-chrome, nvidia drivers, codecs etc...) You can install all of these things but Debian doesn't make it easy as where Q4OS makes it very easy. The packages tend to be older in Debian stable (and testing for that matter) but it is super rock solid and will run forever in production.
    2
  897. Just installed the Trinity desktop on a Pentium 4. I am surprised at how well it runs. This must be the perfect distro for newbies to Linux. On newer hardware this must fly.
    2
  898. Interesting! Actually haven't really tried Debian. May have to try it out. Great vid as always. So does this mean you are back on KDE for your main production machine? Did the screen recording issue get resolved completely? That's awesome!
    2
  899. You are going to laugh at me, the distro that I decide to go with was manjaro but it was by luck or maybe it was to be.... It was a 3 way tie between mint, deepin and manjaro. So I had 3 flash drivers all same color I load them on separate flash drives mint, deepin and manjaro. Put them in a hat. Shook the Hat a little bit. Pulled out a flash drive and proceeded to delete my windows and put on Linux and the flash drive happened to have Manjaro... There's a few things I miss about Windows I believe it's just because I was familiar with it...... the file structure in Linux sort of makes my eyes twitch coming from Windows. But I'll get it down..... It was a nice way of doing a take on Russia roulette but with flash drives and Linux distros...lol Good video as always
    2
  900. Can you make a video on tlp, how to install it and set it up and how useful can it be?
    2
  901. I Highly respect what your trying to say there is nothing wrong with liking one desktop over the others, I myself like all of them in their own way and sometimes want a verity of desktops, to choose from; but that's just me
    2
  902. on the contrary, you can not disagree with me on that with Antergos you do have the convenience of the one ISO 6 desktops. but it's least of a convenience with Manjaro if you want to install a different desktop on a different computer to your main computer and, vice-versa
    2
  903. Good choice!!. Debian-Canonical is mafia, bloated software and poor efficiency with high consumption. Living in Archlinux will illuminate your road. Other good choices may be TrueOS, NixOS or Calculate too, but Archs are better... Greetings.

  904. Yes it was me who mentioned it;) Downside of a rolling release. If you know what you're doing you can use it. Me for instance don't and that's why I'm on the Pep. Me I'm more of an inside guy. It's to hot to be outside.

  908. Because you were hardwired to windows ntfs.

  909. Windows user all my life. Just installed Linux Mint and quite liking it for the most part. Nice tutorial, thanks.
    2
  910. Well, now I've got to know what all the folders are - and I'm still absolutely none-the-wiser!
    2
  911. Thanks Dorian very helpful
    2
  912. Great video thanks. I would be interested in a overview of how the whole system works, to understand the architecture of the kernel and how the OS interact with it and so on.
    2
  913. I started off on simple efficient computers like the (swedish) ABC 80, the Apple II, Sinclair, and my own home built machines. I appreciated that on these, as well as on systems like CP/M and MS-DOS, the actual application (and user!) was the boss. The OS was mostly invisible, disabled, or not even running, when you did actual work ... except for file handling, of course. I though that simple scheme was pretty natural, neat and efficient. I have therefore been perplexed for decades by the enormous complexity of Windows and Unix. Haven't even fully understood the purpose of such a complex and demanding "operating system" on a simple personal computer, or why it has to be so closely modelled after old minicomputers and mainframes of the 1970s. It's like a religion, because if you even pose this question, people gets really mad at you ;) (// 54 years old civil engineer that does digital and analog electronics design and enjoys both machine level and high level programing.

  914.  @Doriandotslash  True, I wasn't there when the term was coined, but I have been in that situation of having corrupted libc on a running system and needing the /sbin tools to recover the old version before my shell got logged out. Fun times. :)
    2
  915. Thank you 👍
    2
  916. Nice!
    2
  917. Wow, wow, finally I get and understand the Linux file system. Thanks for patching my Linux know how.
    2
  918. This was very helpful, thank you. And THANK YOU for not having a boring introduction and talking about what you're going to talk about. It's one of my pet peeves. I'm a new subscriber!
    2
  919. Thank you! Very useful information. My knowledge was a mess :)) Is so clearly now! Thank you again!

  925.  @Doriandotslash  thank you very much. Also, very informative video!! Thanks again!
    2
  926. Been a Linux admin for a number of years, but just learned a few things. Thanks!
    2
  927. Information conveyed in a very palatable way! Thank you Dorian!
    2
  928. Well thought out and edited. (Occasional ubuntu thumb drive user whn Win crashes) Never knew my way around the system. The historical references clarifies a lot of what's now present. 👏🏽👌🏽👍🏽
    2
  929. Very informative. Don't mind my complaints and disdain for unix elsewhere in the comments. XD The video itself is very good and does a great job of explaining how this is organised.
    2
  930. I'm used to the windows file structure due to sheer weight of experience (going on 30 years of dealing with the same structure will do that I guess), though I've not always found it a particularly sane structure. - it's prone to a lot of weird and nasty mess. Also it's not as consistent as you might hope it to be, when taken over a long period, since microsoft has this nasty habit of reinventing the wheel for no particular reason. For instance the 'users' folder... Which didn't exist prior to windows Vista... Linux meanwhile I know is pretty much a standard unix filesystem structure, for better or worse. I personally loathe Unix with a passion, so... Eh. But it has it's own logic. Not one I'm overly familiar with (you know. That whole disdain for unix thing does kinda get in the way. XD) but it seemed sensible enough when I have dealt with it, even though it's different to the logic of windows - which is in turn an extension of the logic of DOS, which is in itself a distortion of the logic of CP/M's file structure. Of course, over the years I've also dealt with the macintosh file system (not it's modern iteration which is a hybrid once again built on a unix derivative, ugh. - it's original form), which has a bunch of odd quirks of it's own. And I've also had to deal with Atari DOS... Which, despite the name isn't much like MS-DOS. For one thing, it doesn't have a command line to speak of. The entire OS is driven by a text based menu tree. Of course, being a DOS used with 5.25 inch floppies of 130k or less, and almost never anything more complex, there's little to no filesystem structure to speak of. File names follow a similar logic to MS-DOS, with a 3 letter extension, but the actual filenames are I believe up to 12 or maybe even 16 characters long. Also drives are numbered; Which largely didn't matter because most people only had a single drive - but the original operating systems supported up to 4 drives... (1 to 4) while later custom operating systems supported up to 15. (0-9 and J,K,L,M,N and O - because who needs consistency anyway, right? XD) Since you can also read and write files from within Basic, it's worth noting that the CIO subsystem treats external devices in a fairly uniform manner. Only the tape drive read/write logic has any special treatment (even though it's also accessible through the CIO system) - as long as you're using the OS ROM to do it - which you can (and will) of course bypass for some uses, you can write to the screen, a printer, a disk drive, modem or anything of the sort using the same IO logic. You can also read from the keyboard the same way. In the case of such devices instead of opening a numbered drive, you open a letter corresponding to the device. (Although, actually, through this particular mechanism, opening a file on disk requires specifying something like "D2:File.BAS" - you can also use D: by itself, which defaults to being equivalent to D1) The named devices are: K: - Keyboard (input only) P: - Line printer (output only) C: - Program recorder (eg. Tape drive) Dx: - Disk Drive (x being the numbers as already mentioned) E: - Screen editor, basically a hybrid of the K: and S: devices, used for interactive text entry, like the basic editor itself. S: - The screen. You can both read and write to this. Presumably this is actually modifying the active video memory. Probably the single most frequently bypassed/ignored device, for fairly obvious reasons. (not least of which that you can write directly to memory and get the same effect, mostly.) R: This is an RS-232 interface. Even though the Atari computers don't physically have an RS-232 compliant port, they have the logic to work with one, if it is attached somehow. The thing about all of these is that these named device letters work the same way; You write or read from any of them, and you'll get consistent behaviour. Anyway, that doesn't really matter - it just shows how much the logic of this stuff can vary. I'm honestly surprised the concept of a 'file' and 'directory' has been so universally consistent, since there are other metaphors that could have been used. (same with the 'desktop' idea. This isn't the only way to present a UI, but it's become a fairly universal metaphor...)

  931. Amazing video!!!

  932. i am a file

  933. 00:26 dramatic much 🤣🤣🤣 I like it
    2
  934. I am using Linux for 15 years now, but still only had a vague idea what some folders like proc and run and sys are for :D
    2
  935. If you want to specifically see hidden folders/files its "ls .*"
    2
  936. Very helpful. Thanks. You saved the best for last, the 90s type MOD music! Cool to hear it again.
    2
  937. Absolutely fantastic!
    2
  938. me : sees Adobe Photoshop in the statut bar me : wait... That's illegal
    2
  939. Really helpful, by far the clearest explanation I've seen, thank you!
    2
  940. Root directory always scared me :) Thank you for easy explanation!
    2
  941. Thanks for this video, and your other similar videos, I really appreciate it. I've got to admit having been familiar with all sorts of systems and OS's going back to the 70's *NIX (and Linux in particular) is the OS family I detest most! ...sadly all the OS's I actually like have gone by the wayside and as M$ looks to be "going down a path I can't follow" I'm going to have to try to give Linux yet another shot. It's said that doing the same thing over again hoping for a different result is madness but maybe this time will be different.
    2
  942. Very good explanation! Simple, easy to understand and well thought out.
    2
  943. I came expecting a train wreck. It wasn't. Some stumbles on the nature of /usr/local and etc is pronounced "et-cee" but hey, good job.
    2
  944. Awesome
    2
  945. Great Work. I can only imagine how much hours of hard work you might have put on to make this video. Subbed and Shared.
    2
  946. Thanks a lot, Dorian. I have been using Linus as my primary OS since last 4+ years, I still learned quite a few nice things. Someone just starting would appreciate this a lot!
    2
  947. i for one welcome our TTS overlords What engine? It's pretty good!
    2
  948. I watched them, yes :) I was wondering if you have experience with FreeFileSync on Linux. I use it on Windows and I am very happy with it. It cal also preview which files will be created, updated, deleted, etc. which I think Deva-Dup does not.
    2
  949. Excellent - subbed! I do find the /opt/ directory strange. In windows you could choose whether to install an application for all users or only for the current. Given that I work on a personal computer, I have only 1 user. Thus, I try to install my application ins /home/user/apps/ so that even a re-install of the system will preserve them.
    2
  950.  @Doriandotslash  thank you !
    2
  951. The Linux file system is really good for servers, since you can mount multiple hard drives in the same folder let's say if you have a bunch of online accounts you want in the same folder but don't have enough hard drive space for. I still think it's waay too confusing for where and how applications are installed and the mounting system is pretty weird for let's say moving files to a flash drive for use elsewhere.
    2
  952. Thank you so much for such a well thought out and presented tutorial. I've dabbled in various unixes and linuxes since the 80s but never in deep anger. I've always been a windows person so finding a tutorial of this quality was fantastic Thank you again!!!
    2
  953. 0:53 OMG Yes, my absolute childhood 🤣
    2
  954. Thank you very much @DorianDotSlash been using Linux for years and just picked up bits as i went along. Good to finally hear what all these directories are about. 1 + new subscriber
    2
  955. Hot damnnnnn, thank you for the Very good explanation you have made it simple to understand Dorian!
    2
  956. THANK YOU! I have been looking for something like this for a decade. No joke, I have been trying to understand the Linux file system for a long time and you have cleared it up for me better than anyone else. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
    2
  957. Thank you !

  959. Great, please do a video how can i add a theme to linux in /usr/share/themes from downloads .tar file
    2
  960. Awesome video thanks for sharing the knowledge 👍
    2
  961. Hii I'm. Watching in 2021 xD.
    2
  962. Thank you for providing some very important lessons on linux file systems. The addition of the location in the video of each explanation is of great value as well. I just wish I could keep up with you! I had to stop it and write down notes many times... ahh, age has it's trials! ;-)
    2
  963. Thank you thank you!!
    2
  964. Very informative for a Linux ankle-biter. Thanks for the time & effort putting it together. I may have to watch it a few times to absorb it all! 😀
    2
  965. Simply Brilliant, Thanks Dorian
    2
  966. So don't touch unless you have a good reason to, got it! I'm definitely going to rewatch this once I have everything up & running. Thanks for uploading.
    2
  967. Why all the thumbs-down he did a good job of explaining
    2
  968. ... /Stevie Ray Vaughan? Jokes aside, Great video, super helpful, really helped to illuminate the black box shock I had when switching to Lunix. :)
    2
  969. I actually dont mind the way windows assigns drive letters . You can in modern windows see the proper block device ID in drive management. I would prefer if it was numbers tho 0: 1: 2: etc similar to the way it was done on old sun and DEC stuff .
    2
  970. This was very useful. I'm just starting to learn Linux and am a total noob. Thanks.
    2
  971.  @Doriandotslash  Yeah, virtual machines. I think most people are too afraid of breaking their computers they never actually figure out what they can do with them or enjoy them to their full potential.
    2
  972. This is something what I was needing / now I know / but / I don't know what I know (God why is everything in "sudo" this days and I can't connect a dots?) Like I said - now i understand finally something but in a same time don't understand - this is painfully- but I would like to program something (i'm a visual person)! Thank you for your effort - you clear some staff - do more! For those like me! Thank you!
    2
  973. Thanks for the video :)
    2
  974.  @Doriandotslash  I'm very pleased for your confirmations. This makes one huge step toward Linux for me. Thank you, very much.
    2
  975. I loved my KayPro II that my grandpa gave me as a kid (cause he got a Packard Bell 286) ran CP/M not even MS-DOS
    2
  976.  @Doriandotslash  - I think you did an admirable job of covering the things that were most important. I have a tendency to go into a lot of depth in most of my explanations, which has pluses and minuses.
    2
  977.  @Doriandotslash  Dude, I did it! 5 hours of work and I did it! OMG, I'm so tired! Check this out! If you wan't to somehow say "thanks" to poor schoolboy - I'm not against:3
    2
  978. how do you have photoshop?
    2
  979. hey man, thanks for doing this! i really enjoyed it.
    2
  980. Thanks for running through the file system. Appreciate it, helps make more sense of the system after installing arch
    2
  981. Great job, thanks for putting that together. Great refresh and learned some new stuff as well. KUDOS!!
    2
  982. THANK YOU !!
    2
  983. 2024 and this video is still gold (for me as a newbie)!

  989. Thanks for sharing , got very useful information for my Linux server subscribed from @t
    2
  990. Your vid was very clear, logical and well-laid out. Linux's file system, by contrast, is the very opposite.
    2
  991. Thanks, I always wanted to understand this folder structure, I am seeing it on my Android and Mac all the time. However it is still very confusing to an average idiot, I suppose that is why Apple hide all those folder to make it looks simple and being idiot friendly. I like it being simple. 🙂
    2
  992. that was a great video thanks for sharing your knowledge
    2
  993. Linux architecture is much more superior than windows, I just don't get why windows is so popular these days.
    2
  994. Great overview of the Linux file system, when a person has a talent for explaining a topic it shows. 👍
    2
  995. Subscribed! Great video, will be back for more. Thank you!

  999. Man, I've been working on and off with Linux for nearly a decade, and you still taught me things! Thanks - I have often thought of this area as a bit arcane
    2
  1000. Two days ago i installed ubuntu 19.04 on my laptop after five years of Windows. Before that I used various Linux distros for three years. It feels like home. Windows 10 is an improvement over Windows 8, but that’s not saying much. Even with workspaces Windows drives me insane. So much maintenance and so little joy.
    2
  1001. On my first linux installation i have spent 2 days searching c drive
    2
  1002. You had me at the Psycho theme part.
    2
  1003. Thanks. Good explanations. I like the pauses, as it helps digest the information or turn attention from thoughts that pop up or distractions or even semantics.
    2
  1004. I wish I gave you a thousand likes but I can only give you one like. Very sad. I spend two days with this video. Thank you very much.
    2
  1005. So “simple” and elegant! I’m new to Linux and this really helped, thanks.
    2
  1006. Best file system explanation I've seen so far, outstanding. Thank you!
    2
  1007. Finally someone who explains this in a way that's easy to understand.
    2
  1008. It is a real drag when windows terminated the dependency on D.O.S.; when I had win98 I stopped windows from loading and manipulated the .bat file to start a C program to load it was just for fun I used to trick my friends that there is virus on my drive or only pause the operation and give my friends a heart-attack that there is a password on the device! just for fun ": 0
    2
  1009. Very well explained and certainly makes the file system less daunting. Thank you, Dorian!
    2
  1010. Very comprehensive and easy to follow video, thanks! I've had a bit of experience with Linux before but after all the years I've spent navigating Windows the UNIX-like file structure begins to feel like a maze.
    2
  1011. New to Linux and just started a Dev internship. Thank you so much helped me conceptualize everything easier
    2
  1012. Thanks for these explanations !
    2
  1013. Fantastic! Thank you so much!
    2
  1014. Command "man hier" should give the overview.
    2
  1015. /dev/ is amazing. You don't have anything like it on Windows. Want random numbers? Want to inspect every device?
    2
  1016. Awesome! Twitter follower.
    2
  1017. I always wondered what the mess of a file system in Linux was, and now I understand it a bit better
    2
  1018. After 30 years of programming MS technolgies I am moving into UNIX world. I am in early stages, this video was very helpful. Thank you
    2
  1019. Linux is very interesting. I've played with it years ago, but I hope to become more proficient this time around. I'll do my learning on a single board pc, and maybe switch my desktop pc over someday. Thanks for the video. Very helpful!
    2
  1020. Dude, I love what u have done! :D I am using debian with gnome for web dev for 3 years now and I didn't have clarification about those directories :P Cool and usefull to know what all of em really mean instead of guessing just from experience xD
    2
  1021. Haha, yes, when I installed Linux for the first time 15 years ago, I was incredibly confused by the file structure!
    2
  1022. amazing thankyou!
    2
  1023. Why I’m watching this at 3AM? Not complaining. Best explanation video.
    2
  1024. Oh Mamma! If only I wasn't so old and indoctrinated by Evil Billy! Loving my Linux Minty! :)
    2
  1025. Going for my Linux Essentials exam in a week this is a great study tool for me thanks man!
    2
  1026. Thank you! You might want to pause for a second or two between explanations to let the point sink in.
    2
  1027. Awesome content as always.
    2
  1028. Hey there buddy! Thanks to your Gentoo tutorial I installed it on hardware with the kde-plasma desktop just today. I tried it many times but it all makes more and more sense with each and every day. HUGE shout out to you, sir! I couldn't do it without you. I guess the lockdown seems to be the perfect time for gentoo. Right now I'm learning about packet managing and keeping the system nice and clean. Hope I can maintain my system for a while. Again: thank you so much. I'm very happy with the outcome. Looking forward for more great content! ~Peace :)

  1035. Best wishes for 2018 and happy holidays. 2017 was a very bad year for me personally. Best thing it brought me was Peppermint 8 and since monday the Respin.
    2
  1036. Hope see you coming w/ some more good contents w/ pleasure in the 2k18 :)
    2
  1037. You're one of the good Linux YTuber(there are quite a few) who made unbiased Linux based tutorials, thanks for your good works and happy new year.
    2
  1038. Hi, could you start doing reviews of obscure distros? Btw thx for all the linux content!
    2
  1039. It's OK - we have a tools to speed you up! :-)
    2
  1040. I would be very interested in a distribution that is adaptative to the machine you connect it on. I'd put it on an external drive to use on my laptop and desktop with all my robot databases... :) If you ever discovered such a thing, would you mind make a review for us? I'm sure a lot of people would benefit from this!
    2
  1041. That’s great :)
    2
  1042. I want to play with this..You're right it's so like Arch.
    2
  1043. Nicely talked through, great thanks :-)
    2
  1044. I have to say that this was probably the most logical install of Arch that I've looked at so far. That's not to say that I am currently (or may ever be lol) up to doing a pure Arch install. The scarier part for me, as a relative newbie, is that people do leave bits out and tend to do their own thing. Good if you know how (or have the know-how lol) but not so simple if you are relatively new. I have seen someone install Arch using the Zen installer (?) and this seemed a lot easier way of doing things. That would probably be my limit currently. That or just install Manjaro or Salient, both of which I can highly recommend if 'Arch based' is good enough for you. Thanks for that, Dorian, a very enlightening video.
    2
  1045. Did he do "locale-gen"?
    2
  1046. The legend is back..
    2
  1047. Great video. I use Arcolinuxd with xfce desktop. Runs great
    2
  1048. The long and short of it is Arch is a more advanced Distro. For those who are intimidated by the command line and dont want to use it Arch really isnt for you. In order to install Vanilla Arch you need to read the installation instructions by some other means than the the machine youre installing on., Cell Phone, another machine or printed out paper. You'd need to watch this video on another machine as well. One thing that should be stressed is you need to be precise with the command line.
    2
  1049. Holly crap! You... You mad man. You aren't even scared! Ha!
    2
  1050. Nice video! Not much harder than doing a cold-start in an F-16 fighter jet! =)
    2
  1051. Give it a try. Once you've had Arch, you'll never go back :)
    2
  1052. I thought I was seeing things. Welcome back.
    2
  1053. Welcome back! I’m excited to see more consistent content from your channel
    2
  1054. Thank you for this video. I will first install Linux Mint, but I want to "build" my own personalized distro "from scratch". I was about to try Arch for this, but I will try Debian instead.
    2
  1055. Very good video! I think arch is only for nerds. I'm on linux mint 20.
    2
  1056. I would also suggest FreeBSD - Debian like stability + packages and the fresh like Fedora, having recent s/w.
    2
  1057. I tried using nixos unstable but it required a lot of data to download atleast 1-2 times a week. It might be better with stable but I resorted to use fedora + nix package manager. Also have a look at centos stream.
    2
  1058.  @Doriandotslash  excellent!! Thanks from a fellow Canadian 😀
    2
  1059. Arch is an amazing distro, but you do have to update it regularly. The updates are not that bad on a decent connection. The longer you wait to update, the more likely you will encounter problems. It is people who fear updates that think Arch is unstable. I wiped out my entire drive, on which had my beloved Arch, that I had been running trouble free for years. I tried by switch to Debian, but I guess I am spoiled. It is good to be back on Arch. Debian is a fine distro, but it's not for me.
    2
  1060. 5th time watching this video idk why
    2
  1061. Welcome to the light side :).
    2
  1062. Great video Dorian, i moved from Linux Lite to Sparky Linux stable and I love it.
    2
  1063. A true debianite. Debootstrap is source of pacstrap.

  1064. Actually I did the opposite, been using Debian/kde at home for a while now, configured everything as I needed, documentation everywhere. It was nice, super stable, just a little glitch on the graphical interface(nvidia) when waking up but not so serius to try to fix. But yeah, turns boring when you are trying to practice your skills on linux since it works really well. Then switched to Manjaro/kde, to my surprise with aur/snap/flat repos so integrated y have made less use of the console, but instead I found solving some services not enabling themselves when installing from this repos so did it myself. So I've to resolve more issues in Manjaro than in Debian, but it keeps me awake thas was what I was looking for. So Debian you set your stuff and you forget about it, its so stable that its boring haha. I keep my Debian image in my bakups just if
    2
  1065. I am hooked on to Debian stable lqtx. Brilliant video! Thanks
    2
  1066. just keep Debian on your work machine and whatever else everywhere else i say
    2
  1067.  @Doriandotslash  yes, after the upgrade to Buster she installed unattended-upgrades lol.
    2
  1068. I installed Debian Stretch on a 72 year old woman's laptop. She spent an entire year without using apt update and apt upgrade. After a year she made the updates and changed the repository to the Buster version, and continues to use it well.
    2
  1069. Well my situation is similar, my network speeds are around 50kb/s most of the times, so I just use the software DVDs, and I'm very happy about that feature, I used to complain about having old software running on my machine, but soon I understood that was Debian's main pillar to be as stable as it is, I moved to Arch in my distro hopping days but it was kinda stressing to have so many updates and my slow network didn't help the situation. I came back to Debian because I seldom get an update, it's nothing but security related updates and yeah, to use Flatpak in order to get the most recent software is very useful and I don't notice any slow downs.
    2
  1070. Welcome back, missed ya!
    2
  1071. DEBIAN IS INFINTELY BETTER... and Yes i've seen arch based stuff that Does SEEM a bit faster/Snappier in it's operation and sometimes the VIDEO/photos DO have brighter, more CRISP and clear colors etc..-- but having to fix stuff every 10 minutes isn't worth it.
    2
  1072. Mx debian is just sweet and lightweight i install it on old laptop to do more research and write essays, that distro has more tools and tweaks than my lovely Neon and Manjaro distro and the software manger is a great tool to have newer applications & kernel
    2
  1073. I used Ubuntu and Debian in college, stayed with Ubuntu from then and dumped all microsoft. Now, another step in my life has begun. Welcome Debian.
    2
  1074. Thank you for this video. I am asking if better I upgrade debian from 9 to 10 or I keep 9.
    2
  1075. You changed distros as your requirements changes. Sounds reasonable.
    2
  1076. Can you share the themes you're using? I'm also a Debian/Gnome user and I've built a repository on GitHub to share a few of mine in case you're interested: https://github.com/vzro/linux-themes Cheers
    2
  1077. Arch / Manjaro / other rolling release distros are good for those who want the latest and greatest packages. Personally, I prefer stability, over anything else. Currently I'm running Mint 20 Cinnamon. I am thinking of switching to Kubuntu (LTS) though, as I do prefer the flexibility of KDE over Cinnamon :-)
    2
  1078. In my opinion, the stability you get with a fixed release distribution is more important on a work computer than having the latest version of an App. Specially now that we have universal package formats available.
    2
  1079. love debian with xfce stable and fast 😍😍😍
    2
  1080. Pretty new sub here. I really appreciate the job you are doing. Particularly how you present a little bit of stuff for everyone; not just the new user (i.e. with just reviews ). I think it was that build your own linux desktop video that I watched that got me subbed. I have really liked the mini offering that Ubuntu has for a while now. I won't do regular Ubuntu, honestly. But that is neither here, nor there, lol. Just wanted to drop a line, and say that I appreciate what you are doing and keep 'em coming. Cheers!
    2
  1081. I really cannot wait for a small updated version! Better performance and better battery life!
    2
  1082. this is the only decent look at this laptop that i can find, 10/10 want one
    2
  1083. Thank you for an in-depth review, this laptop is very tempting. I have been reading about Linux since before Mr. Torvalds moved to the USA. I am a rank dabbler but I did manage by sheer luck to set up dual boot on an old HP 2760 Elite notebook with Win10 and Zorin 12.4. The Elite is pretty clunky with the added extended battery pack and DVD drive base.
    2
  1084. Cool
    2
  1085. For only $199 it's a nice laptop. Happy new year Dorian and if you can join BDLL again.
    2
  1086. Oof... now I want to get the Pinebook... XD Anyway nice video
    2
  1087. I think he mentions screen capping from the monitor and not through the computer? I may have misheard it tho
    2
  1088. Excellent video! Thanks.
    2
  1089. So Pinebook vs Chromebook I mean it begs the question because you can install any of them on a Chromebook.. So I just wanted Dorian to wish you and your family a very belated Happy New Year.. I hope the newish, lol, arrival is all good and everything is swimmingly happy..
    2
  1090. I'm confused. If you want to create an accessible distro with all the software an average user might want, why make it off of Gentoo? And if you want to target the more experienced Linux user who's interested in Gentoo, but doesn't want to go through a lot of install hassle every time they want to install the OS, why include so much extra faff software? This distro seems like it's targeting nobody.
    2
  1091. Ha Ha...catching up on some of your older videos and this one is a hoot. I am still using Win7 on an 8 year old HP underpowered laptop and I still get to view those wonderful blue screens. Not to mention after 100s of updates, the system moves at a snail's pace. Literally. Happy times...😒
    2
  1092. It is really nice and usefull thank you . i love pop os and fedora alot i think i will try your way to install them together
    2
  1093. Great video! I struggled with dual-booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu on a machine. My biggest hassle was that whatever I did I couldn't get a Ubuntu Bootable Live-USB to work in UEFI-mode. Also, it was not possible to install a UEFI-version of Ubuntu if booted via MBR. Tried to read loads about it, but didn't find any practical solutions so I gave up and am now stuck on Windows 10. Some people mentioned using a USB 2.0 instead of USB 3.0 worked, but I only have USB 3.0. It really surprised me that there where no obvious and easy ways to get a live-USB bootable in UEFI, I tried using Rufus and UNetbootin without success... Can you recommend something?
    2
  1094. Great tutorial. I'd feel comfortable this after doing this ~20x & 5 instances of which having required unfcuking. Of COURSE Manjaro OMITS the LABEL field in it's partition manager Despite carefully creating labels to make later selecting it unambiguous, it's STILL based on recollection. After all, when overwriting or reformatting a partition, who needs to be careful. lol (gotta love distros).
    2
  1095.  @Doriandotslash  Good system. I always have something on the go in a VM. Live and learn. :)
    2
  1096. second
    2
  1097. Thank you so much! I added Mint to a Win10 system on 7 year old hardware. The Win10 crawls (likely due to only having 4GB memory) and Mint is fine.
    2
  1098. Thank you!!! Your videos are so good. I noticed you haven't posted vidoes in a while. Hope you are ok and maybe continue posting new videos that really helpful to almost 100k people!
    2
  1099. Perfect Video ! Excellent Work ! Thank You :)
    2
  1100. It’s a shame I can’t give more than 1 thumbs up
    2
  1101. Great vid, I seem to run in to problems when trying to reinstall fresh Linux and retain windows. This may help. Also spooky Ubuntu wallpaper you got there.
    2
  1102. Just subbed... Great work! Still willing to know if there's a way to have 2 entries on UEFI non-secure boot that let's you select iGPU or dGPU on UEFI boot select.
    2
  1103. Man who needs siri. Just bloating macs
    2
  1104. Linux is king.
    2
  1105. I have become a Linux fan after many years using both i mac os and windows i use Linux on both my i mac and windows desktop as my main operating system
    2
  1106. I run Linux Mint on a 2009 MacBook Pro and it's super fast. It has duo core processor, but still runs fast. Great for surfing or word processing. I love Linux. Way better than Mac software. Easier to use and it's kept up to date by the developers. I hate Windows and not really a Mac person, but Linux Mint on a MacBook is awesome. Much easier for folks who are not tech savvy as well. Mint is very intuitive.
    2
  1107. That's what I thought. not even a comparison. Like comparing a bicycle to a Ferrari ;)
    2
  1108. I found the same crazy difference. I tried the most similar hardware I had. Ubuntu, which isn't even super streamlined is so much quicker. If you are interested feel free to take a look. https://youtu.be/E5B9MMJaDYI
    2
  1109. i really support their idea, and it helps devs fix bugs a lot easier by just using same 'commit' image
    2
  1110. Great video Dorian! looks very interesting!!
    2
  1111. Great video; fascinating, educational and superbly presented. Thank you.
    2
  1112. Dorian out here spitting fire once again. Thank you sir. Absolutely brilliant.
    2
  1113. Actually, that looks pretty decent. Must give it a whirl... Thanks for the video! D.
    2
  1114. I have Godot now, thanks. No launcher, no terminal command either. The Software Center is now loaded with choices.
    2
  1115. Flatpaks are definitely not the future in their current state. I currently only use them if/when I absolutely have to because they are not kept well up to date and they don't integrate well into the gtk environment. For example, if you have to use Skype, you're gonna have a static white menu bar and a persistant notfication nagging you to update. The idea is great otherwise. Especially as Timeshift doesn't work properly with Fedora due to Shim.
    2
  1116. ​ @Doriandotslash  Ok , I just over complicated things as usual lol. So I can agree with you now this being the future for server based linux. Usually I am an auditory learner , but the way you explained it in the comment cleared up my confusion. Thanks for breaking that down for me Dorian .
    2
  1117. I'm gonna sit on the fence on this one me thinks
    2
  1118. Atomic!
    2
  1119. Thank you, Dorian. Very well explained.
    2
  1120. The future of linux already came, and it came in the form of... handheld consumer end low power devices? What?
    2
  1121. great video, I switched to Ubuntu on my 12 year old computer, now it works great again, lightning fast. Some friends are considering installing Linux, I think this version you present is perfect, we would skip the "terminal" parts as were newbies on Linux and not power users, just need browser, word processor and excel type program.
    2
  1122. And I thought I was the last person with that 2009 BIOS.
    2
  1123. I recently gave it a try and it almost worked for me. Unfortunately, it has less than stellar Wine support and I was not able to get Office 2010 going on Silverblue the way I am on standard Fedora.
    2
  1124. What distro are you running in the vid? I like the DE
    2
  1125. Get your Fedora hat on.
    2
  1126. Problem with linux is there are so many fork
    2
  1127. Ikea did inspire the Flatpak name
    2
  1128. I've been using Yocto build system at work for our wearable platform. The way the OS is maintained looks similar. This looks more flexible with the package layers but the whole idea of the OS being static and immutable is the same. As a platform manager working like this makes updating the OS and regression very easy. Looks like they have taken the Yocto concept to the desktop. Very interested. P.s. Great video. :)
    2
  1129. Thanks for the video you explained things very well indeed, shall give it a test drive so to speak
    2
  1130. Nice overview. I really like SilverBlue. Not sure if it'll wind up being "the future," but this is definitely a cool new approach and relatively straight forward to work with. I agree about the inadequate documentation. So far so good. I'm going to keep it running for a while.
    2
  1131. New sub and new to GNU/Linux. Great delivery \ Great presentation \ Great thumbnails \ Great vid all round. Thanks for educating me today!
    2
  1132. Such videos give insights on how devs go on about creating apps and improving their distro. Sort of knowing their thoughts. So I'm happy to watch these.
    2
  1133. Love these videos! Keep it up!
    2
  1134. its GNOME with a silent G my man
    2
  1135. Agree that Manjaro is an awesome distro. Not particularly a Gnome fan, but Manjaro Gnome (and maybe Solus Gnome) are the exceptions. Have Manjaro Xfce on my laptop and it works fine. have Manjaro Gnome and KDE on two other drives on my 'play' computer and they just work fine as well.
    2
  1136. Hey Dorian, How'd ya get that app launching bar combined with WiFi, sound settings etc? Also, any feelings on Deepin vs. Gnome?
    2
  1137. Please make a video showing how you customize your desktop cuz it's awesome
    2
  1138. Good it is working for you.By the way can you do a video on mx linux but with gnome as the de and not xfce?Of course if you have the time.
    2
  1139. DorianDotSlash yeah did my trys and dies, works greeat if all i want is net and stuff... gaming deff not where its at YET!!... i will however try later as i know windows will lose more and more with the things i have to do to cover my spyed on ass from win10... most dont have a clue... i have your distro and site in the kitty for future use Maybe do something on Linux firewall protection... boy did i have to learn that one your videos still rock ... very appreciated
    2
  1140. Just bought an old/slow/refurbished convertible notebook with Win10Pro64 installed. Once I got it configured the way I like it, and copied my normal stuff over to it, I imaged the disc with Macrium Reflect, and am now installing Manjaro as a stand-alone OS on it. It is still installing as I type. Can't wait to try it out. Note: this is not my first Linux rodeo.
    2
  1141. Very informative, thank you very much.
    2
  1142. Excellent video, I'll try it on Kde Neon which is Ubuntu-based. Thank you so much!
    2
  1143.  @Doriandotslash  correct you have to add a repository. The Negativo 17 repo driver is generally recommended over the RPMFusion ones, as the Negativo17 drivers are generally kept up to date and follow Fedora packaging guidelines better. They have also been known to work with Fedora to improve integration.
    2
  1144. Dear thank you did we have a solution also to manage the AlienFX and OLED brightness for Alienware 13 R3?
    2
  1145. thank you kindly this is getting done today!
    2
  1146. thanks.
    2
  1147. Thank you thank you ty
    2
  1148. Excellent video! Very interested in an Nvidia Optimus walkthrough.
    2
  1149. Good to see it's running smoothly. I've read running multiple environments can cause conflicts, so when doing so assigning each to a different user can help. That said, I'm running Gnome and lxde Manjaro in different accounts, but I haven't removed Gnome from the lxde user account. As long as it behaves, I'm leaving well enough alone.
    2
  1150. Nice one Dorian. LIked the smash button;)
    2
  1151. I am assuming you was using Xorg when you was running OBS? Was sure the "voodoo they do" using ostree didn't somehow get OBS running in Wayland. Helpful video for those that are looking to move to this space as it seems like it may be the way we are headed going forward.
    2
  1152. Thanks to these videos I was able to install NixOS dual booting with Xubuntu easily.
    2
  1153. Why not!? There are no better times for IT professionals in Germany than these days... ;-)
    2
  1154. Great videos man, I subscribed. BTW i need that mountain wallpaper please
    2
  1155. You are the best! Thank you very much this really help me
    2
  1156. Well said!! Thank you so much 😁
    2
  1157. I like this format. Seen that on other channels: commenting on a particular subject while watching a gameplay video. This actually helps me go about other things because the gist of the video is usually in the audio not in the visuals. Cheers for this. I have had a nice RTFM shout out from a particular Doom community in spite of observing a manual written for experts rather then new comers. Because of that, I opt to ask little and search a lot. I, now, do not consider myself as a beginner neither as an advanced Linux user but someone who achieves only what is required for a comfortable computing experience. I consent, that , I have asked you some silly things and other more advanced, too. :D
    2
  1158. Just last week I tried Installing multiple Manjaro desktop environments with free drivers with no success. Just the black screen. As soon as I switched it to non free it worked perfect. I’m on a 2019 Razer Blade stealth too. I wish it would of been the opposite. Would of saved me a lot of time lol.
    2
  1159.  @Doriandotslash  Okay... Next time pronounce it like, "genome".
    2
  1160. Very good. The beginner and experienced now have informed places to go. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎 good show my friend.
    2
  1161. It was added since v6.5.0 release: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/applications/pamac/tags
    2
  1162. Funny I recently actually switched from XFCE to KDE. Mostly because XFCE doesn't feel as a whole. I used it for over a year as my main system. I also had many bugs and little quirks with it. Rolling systems are sometimes also introducing bugs. The latest was the wifi manager in XFCE were users couldn't save changes anymore.
    2
  1163. I am planning to migrate from linuxmint to Manjaro 19 for ease of gaming
    2
  1164. Thanks for the video Dorian. I have a couple of questions. Relative to Ubuntu, would you say Manjaro Xfce was an easy install? Would you recommend it for Linux noobs?
    2
  1165. I liked Manjaro for the 24 hours I had it installed. Optimus worked great and everything was smooth once I got the boot parameters worked out. The only reason I went back to Kubuntu was because I have a Clevo laptop and for some reason the clevo-wmi kernel modules didn't recognized my laptop as valid and wouldn't "see" the keyboard backlight to change it. However, in Kubuntu the same modules, installed the same way, work flawlessly. I may go back to Manjaro when I have a long weekend and try to get it to work with the keyboard backlight, as I really did like the experience otherwise.
    2
  1166. Hello dorian Another great video xD Answering the questions I think 10 to 15 minute videos would be nice . I have used manjaro for 5 months and it was great , I think I have check it again ^-^
    2
  1167. Just played with Manjaro GNOME (18.0) on my laptop in a live environment. Wow, it is SOOOO good :-D Be installing soonish. Probably should use Xfce as it's an older i5 lappy with only 4GB of RAM but I am mainly doing this to test for use on my desktop. It's absolutely fantastic, I can't speak highly enough. Does all the basic things I need it to do exceedingly well. Passed expectations already. Great video btw :-)
    2
  1168. I like all of it. More of your custom stuff. Some Linux software and hardware reviews and news. A total mix. Thanks my man.
    2
  1169. I second you on revamping the Linux From Scratch series. May I suggest that this is done for the next Ubuntu LTS (18.04)? Furthermore, reviews and howtos on gaming distros might be a great way to add niche content. These types of distros are booming (Lakka, Pixel OS (not the Raspberry Pi...)) but there is a shortage of tutorials especially dual booting with Windows. Third and last suggestion is problem solving in a way that content from leading Linux forums are also visually presented.
    2
  1170. brrr it's cold where you live. I don't have a request I just like to watch video's by different users/reviewers and what they use and do with Linux, since I'm very new to Linux. Used it for the first time last year when I couldn't boot up W10 and couldn't fix it. I had downloaded and burnt Peppermint 8 on a usb stick. Don't ask my why I chose Peppermint, because I really don't know. Maybe it was the name. Anyway I was amazed at how easy it installed on my 2013 HP Sleekbook and worked. I can do everything I could do with Windows and don't miss it at all. I'm not a gamer, just internet , email, American Football and some tv series. But enough about me.
    2
  1171. Love your Vids. Here is an idea -- How about a review based on ' The best in class ' Take like top 5 or 10 music players // graphic viewers // video players // terminals // text editor ... compare and contrast pro / con -- size / graphic - console etc Why you would like them in a light / heavy system .. even which works best in certain Desktop Environments or Window Managers SpaceFM vs PCManFM vs Thunar vs Nemo Window managers that nobody talks about: Fluxbox vs FVWM vs IceWM vs JWM
    2
  1172. Hi! You make great tuorial to make Custom Ubuntu Distro. So that's why you have +1 Like and +1 Subscribe!
    2
  1173. DorianDotSlash cool. I have an old netbook that I wanted to put on something just as minimal, custom built like this. I am not quite into computing and I thought that with a 64 bit OS you need at least 1 GB of RAM or something. Now I see the truth :D congrats for your distro!
    2
  1174. Tint2 has launchers itself, from its own panel. Regards!
    2
  1175. Thank you so mutch
    2
  1176. semi gnome semi budgie
    2
  1177. First let me apologize. I was asking for a terminal command to get the mirrors that are the fastest. It is : sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack apparently. Found it elsewhere. But I do gain many things by watching your videos. Thanks.
    2
  1178. Hi Dorian. Nice video ! I search for a long time how to configure my dock/taskbar like windows 10 does. It seems you have the kind of config i want. What is your taskbar ? An independent one, a classical xfce panel with some specific plugin ?
    2
  1179. Wow... didn't know that about pamac and terminal... definitely a more user-friendly option lol. Might have to load the KDE and Xfce onto a drive and play for a bit :) Thanks for that :)
    2
  1180. so finally arrive the update?
    2
  1181. Nice, but nothing beats the Pepp;)
    2
  1182. I really don't know why, but beta versions of stuff is really intresting!
    2
  1183.  @Doriandotslash  it's simple things Linux should improve but instead spend time in a lot of other things.
    2
  1184. I've always loved pamac, and this new CLI interface is quite nice.
    2
  1185. duuuuhhhhhh. You'd think as long as I have been doing this that I'd have been able to figure that one out on my own :)... now, in my rather feeble defense -- pacman -Ss pamac returned nothing, but it will install normally even though the search doesn't show it.
    2
  1186. Is the pamac remove equal to apt purge ??
    2
  1187. DorianDotSlash  The reason why the option is not there anymore is more fundamental. They opted to remove the code from nautilus for handling the desktop. Reasons were that that code was old, difficult to maintain and actually in the way for cleaning up stuff. Therefore, it is not a matter of blocking the option: the possibility is plain gone. Ubuntu, wanting to maintain the active desktop, kept an older version of nautilus to keep the functionality. The future for desktop icons, for those who want these, will be through a gnome extension.
    2
  1188. Xfce+adwaita+xfdashboard <3
    2
  1189. Ah, the freedom of Linux World! Now in our distro b**ch! :-)
    2
  1190. And that's very odd :-)
    2
  1191. Pop!_OS is my favorite GNOME out of the box currently.
    2
  1192. Productivity wise I highly recommend Easystroke. Can't live on the desktop without mouse gestures that I draw with the right mouse click. On Windows I use StrokesPlus which does the same. Nice tutorial btw!
    2
  1193. i love gnome3
    2
  1194. Cool again
    2
  1195. I was sicky for past few weeks, hey don't worry and cheers up, saw Scion suggestion on DW's 'New To Waiting List' :)
    2
  1196. Interview archmerge on the virtual. Like to see what you think : Interesting
    2
  1197. Yes !!! They want to know what is a desktop is made of and their differences. What the environments look like. They need a glossary for some of those words used; You did this. Excellent Delivery.
    2
  1198. best channel <3
    2
  1199. Sweet job on breaking it all down. Quick question, I hope, how dose the DE's framework of QT or GTK fit into all of this? Isnt that a critical component of software choices playing nicely?
    2
  1200. Nice video, openSUSE user myself for years
    2
  1201. You're very much welcome, this kinda vid is more preferable :)
    2
  1202. You've done a good job :)
    2
  1203. I've been hunting for a good comparison for days! Thanks for your very clear and useful input :) Keep it up! And an advice: make a written script of what you're going to say and try it. This would help you to shrink down the duration of the videos :) All the best!
    2
  1204. I blame gnomes....it works in world of warcraft
    2
  1205. Wife: what's this? DorianDotSlash: oh its Elementary OS.... Wife: what you think I need to go to school!!!!!!!!!! DorianDotSlash: ahhh...mmmmm...its linux....... it looks nice right? Wife: giving that look... ..*all men know that look oh I should not have done that* ____________________________________ It looks nice but I just dont like the Mac OS look for bars
    2
  1206. Thank you, worked for me on POP-OS!
    2
  1207. great refresher on this subject. I always have issues in copy pasting and networking between VMs and Host...I would love a simple solution if one exists
    2
  1208. Great advice. I run LVM already on one of my Linux OSes and like it a lot.
    2
  1209. A very precise and clear explanation of the topic.
    2
  1210. Just an update , for the last few years LVM supports raid 1 thru 5 etc. And thin provisioning.

  1211. how is KDE for you now when you have been running it for a while? are you thinking it is ok?
    2
  1212. This video helped me in removing ramboxpro trail. There were some folders left in the snap directory after the purge, so I deleted them and renamed the folder .snap to hide it. Thank you. Also to return the favor, to make Mint TINA even more snappy, check your swappiness... $ "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness"... if the value returned is any higher than 10 you should modify this... $ "sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10" ...Then confirm by checking again... $ "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness"... This is the setting I am using, but any thing between 1 and 10 will give you quite the boost. Just search for "swapiness" online for more information. Tina is great so far! Enjoy brother.

  1213. I don't think Canonical gave up. Snap seems like it could still evolve. Alan Pope has stated that they want to fix theme issues and make them lighter and share libraries. Having said that, I believe the recent crytomining has probably given Canonical pause. I think they are carefully planning the next evolution of snap . In contrast Flatpak seems like it is setting up to freeze. They have stated that the latest version is pretty much feature complete and will be feature freeze with upcoming releases.
    2
  1214. I think the downside to Appimages is that they are not self updating. They could be, but that depends on the author. Some at most provide a notification letting you know to update the appimage because a new one has come out. No system is perfect, but each has its benefits. Flatpak has a lot of support from app developers and allows other repositories, Appimage is as close to upstream as possible and no slowing down due to virtualization. Snap I think has a superior CLI than Flatpak. It is more simple and to the point. They should at least provide an easy way to update all Flatpaks like Snap with 1 command.

  1215. You save my dag 😂 thank you!
    2
  1216. Thank you very much for this video. I am finally making the change over to linux so this has helped. I would prefer using the console myself
    2
  1217. When you install for instance Thunderbird with the command line or with Synaptic, you get the old version of Thunderbird wich is 52, but 60 is already available. I downloaded it from there website like I did with Firefox (I always use the beta), so I always get the latest versions.
    2
  1218. I just subscribed earlier today, keep up the great content!
    2
  1219. Thanks for the video. I stumbled on this when searching for setting up a ramdisk in Linux. Liked it enough to subscribe. Your saving SSD's from excess writing idea is terrific and has me thinking of other possibilities. My use case is for speed as in data analysis using an old DOS program based on dBase files (we used to use ramdisk a lot in the old DOS days). Indexing and zipping through the data should be much faster and since I don't care if I lose the data (it's a copy) it's still good. Thanks again
    2
  1220. lol how can you have used GNOME forever? I literally switch from one to the other every 2-3 weeks because I get tired xD
    2
  1221. So, to sum things up: everything is kind of working like under Gnome before, sometimes little glitchy, sometimes not really. No real difference, except it looks not as good, settings are confusing, the panel is clunky, layout and Dophin is weird. Be sure to let us know, how your switch goes on :) :)
    2
  1222. Mandrake, wow! I haven't heard that name in a VERY LONG time. I just switched to KDE from GNOME (had been using it since 2000). I am loving it. Looking forward to 5.18, which is due next Feb.
    2
  1223. Thanks for the reply. I've been loving Plasma by the way. It is amazing how flexible and light it can be at the same time. You can tailor it to your personal needs. You can change how Alt - Tab looks by searching for task switcher. Also you can get a look at all windows that are opened in each virtual desktop by doing the shortcut for Show desktop Grid. I think it is by default Alt-F8, but you can change it in global keyboard shortcuts.
    2
  1224. I installed latte-dock and make it look like Gnome: https://twitter.com/Ennai27/status/1008859620130131969 Something is different just coz i like it more.
    2
  1225. You're lost just like me when i installed Ubuntu Gnome.
    2
  1226.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you.
    2
  1227.  @Doriandotslash  I will give it an honest try this time. I played with it in a VB but didn't give it much of a chance. I will give it another shot. Thanks again. My laptop is pretty powerful. I have a quad core I7 24GB RAM, new Crucial SSD. So, everything ran fine, except for silly little things. For example, in Budgie, I could not get the Gnome Tweak tool to run. I would click on it but it wouldn't launch. I'm new to all of this stuff so I haven't earned the right to get frustrated. I tried Gnome 3.30 but the extensions were a nightmare to setup and I could not get rid of the unity style screen when hitting the Alt key. I am definitely keeping Manjaro. I might even try to attempt to create my own desktop, as you have shown in your tutorials. It won't be easy but that's how you learn.
    2
  1228. My fav desktops are: 1. Budgie Desktop (Best in Ubuntu-Budgie-Remix) 2. VDesktop (Used in VWorp) 3. KDE (Multiple)
    2
  1229. I've been using Manjaro KDE for the past 8 months after feeling underwhelmed by Ubuntu MATE (my first Linux encounter) and overwhelmed with Arch. I run an i5 8GB RAM workstation at work on three monitors (with a basic passive-cooling graphics card to run the third monitor), and I'm still astonished at what I can achieve. I tend to run two activities with two virtual desktops each (totaling 12 'screens' so to speak) all filled with Chromium tabs and terminal windows, and on top of that I run a virtual Windows domain with two 2008 R2 servers and two XP clients (for testing and educational purposes), all without touching the swap. I also have a work laptop on which I keep Windows 10 (I manage a Windows environment so it's good to have a backup in place) and Manjaro KDE. Compared to KDE, Windows 10 feels so flat with it's restrictive UI. KDE on the other hand, makes me feel like I'm working on a layered, multi-dimensional platform. I doesn't limit me to a single layout or virtual screen, and that's something I especially appreciate when limited to a single 13" screen.
    2
  1230. You mentioned that it uses more cpu on an older computer but if you compare the processors (old machine to a newer one) then it makes sense that percent-wise it would take up more power on an old chip than a new one just to run. Unless you compare to other systems and they don't take up as much on the old computer, then it's safe to say that it's not optimized for old hardware. It's nice that they optimized ram usage for old hardware anyway, didn't know systems take that into consideration.
    2
  1231. Nice video Dorian as always. I am sure most of the kinks will be ironed out before final release. I have installed it on a Lenovo x250 and seems to run quite well actually. I think for a non-tinkerer it would be a solid choice, provided that libreoffice is installed by default to make it sort of complete out of the box. This distro certainly has a clean and familiar interface of people moving away from Mac to linux. What draws me to this distro is its clean and simple interface. Sometimes it would be good to just be able to have a distro where you can just use to get work done but also looks quite good out of the box.
    2
  1232. Only if it used KDE as a base instead of Gnome...
    2
  1233. This is dope! Pop rocks!
    2
  1234. I've never tried Pop!_OS, but your review highlights some really impressive features. I think the accessible integration of features like tiling is quite cool. I definitely have times where I'd like to use tiling, but I don't want to have to switch to another UI. Nice review, too. I like that you go into some detail without getting bogged down. I'm subscribing.
    2
  1235. I think the invest a lot more in the desktop than Ubuntu
    2
  1236. Looking gooood. Long time mint mate user here, i always put i3 as optional. I really want to try this now 😄
    2
  1237. Hi Dorian. Adapta nokto is very nice. I would go with that. I'm testing Mercury on my laptop. Very low on resources which is great. I can't wait for Venus.
    2
  1238. Also, as always, if you need more graphic goodies, let me know. I'm at your service.
    2
  1239. Damn! You've been a busy man! Everything is looking very good. I'll be checking it out tonight.
    2
  1240. I will try that. Thank you. 👍
    2
  1241. Glad you pointed out those SSB's. I used this for a while but it broke after I added real office programs.
    2
  1242. Congrats. Well deserved.
    2
  1243. I am using Peppermint 9 re spin, so I do not know if it is the same as the original. However, I can tell you after trying all of the Ubuntu variants that this version is the best that I have tried and that says a lot about it's capabilities for the end user. They say users moving over from M.S. should use Mint Linux, now not to say that Mint Linux is bad it is certainly not, but Peppermint 9 just goes a little bit further mainly I think because they listen to the end users. I have been hacking Linux since 1998 and trust me when I say very few providers listens to their end users. Try it I am sure you will really like it especially all you newbies.
    2
  1244. Intel 620 with the script to fix screen tearing wich I found on the Peppermint forum.
    2
  1245. Excellent detailed review, but you should have changed that very ugly default wall paper, nobody can support that for 40 minutes :) I use Peppermint on an ancient 2 GB Pentium 4 HT Desktop at 3.0 GHz, built from different parts. It is mainly used by visiting children for on-line games. Since 2011, I live in one of Trump's sh**hole countries and in the past I installed Peppermint 7 on some old desktops (eg Pentium 4 at 2.0 GHz) from cousins and friends. I like Peppermint.
    2
  1246. great video...I thought it was funny that the likes were 386 until I upvoted....
    2
  1247. issues we had is that Centos stream you cant run in a production environment you need to use RHEL.
    2
  1248. Thanks!
    2
  1249. You're a saint and I love you
    2
  1250. Thanks for sharing Dorian! I got the Firefox binary working in Debian with a LINK of it on the desktop, however, I cannot place it anywhere else. I also wish I could change the look of it as well! Any suggestions?
    2
  1251. Installed. Thanks.
    2
  1252. Thank you for great content! I need this video nowadays. Do you upload a video about installing gentoo on hardware, please?
    2
  1253. Thank you so much man, it worked very well
    2
  1254. I tried install gnome but I learned it requires systemd, I am not a gentoo expert so I switched back to Plasma KDE thank you so much!
    2
  1255. Hahahaha, I tried using wpa_supplicant beucase i'm installing is on a test-object laptop, but 68 dependencies was needed oh hell :( Another 5 hours with this pentium :(
    2
  1256. great! ubuntu / openbox ------ videos on the process of creating your own flavor could be cool
    2
  1257. The second video in the series along with the fifth and the future sixth one are all I need to create my own minimal distro for day-to-day work. Thank you, man!
    2
  1258. Good work Dorian! Keep it up. Your channel is one of the better i found.
    2
  1259. When you finished making it, I will surely try it out
    2
  1260. What about Github?
    2
  1261. I hate inconsistencies: right click on desktop produces a white menu with bright blue highlightin, "start" menu & calendar & shutdown widgets/dialogs are black (gnome) and taskbar is blue (or with 50-70% transparency??). I enjoy uniformity. From an aesthetic point of view, after 3 mintues and 10 seconds, this is already a no-install. However, this is still a good replacement to Windows, specialised software usage not withstanding.
    2
  1262. making a template virtualbox machine ..then copy-> load a new ISO into it... smart! i will do that too! my VM list is a pretty crazy too. assigning 4 CPUs to the VM. wow! I only have 4 on my MBP! I ususally assign 2. nice vid!
    2
  1263. I got it working with Ulauncher by configuring the launcher script and Ulauncher with the "Super" key, which means that you can press the Windows key on compatible keyboards for the menu. Thank you very much for this video!
    2
  1264.  @Doriandotslash  You can use all the extensions that you used in Chrome. Look for Chromestore for Opera Plugin for Opera and then you are good to go with all of the Chrome Extensions. I will say there is one caveat. That specific WEBRTC plugins will not recognize Opera and want you to use Chrome.
    2
  1265. I use Opera which is based on Chromium and Blink and I love it. I am a Tab Whore as my friend puts it. Generally 120+ tabs open at any given time.
    2
  1266. Where do you get your wallpapers from they look so nice!
    2
  1267. after watching this video, i switched back.. the screen real estate is surreal (not remembering about the firefox options) and it's making websites so much nicer.
    2
  1268. It is strange that, by default, Firefox Quantum has a lot of wasted screen space. I will probably switch to Quantum anyway, but for other users it will be a deal breaker if they are on Chrome.
    2
  1269. Dorian: I discovered your videos based on your Arch to Debian journey. I spent 2 years using Arch and switched away for similar reasons. I've just finished your 3 excellent videos on NixOS and built a VM to play with it. Wow! I think I may switch my main desktop and server machines to NixOS. THANK-YOU so much for the clear content! I do have a request/nudge. You mention in Part-3 that you might cover Virtual Machines and containers on NixOS. I would love to see you cover libvirt (virtmanager) using QEMU/KVM User session mode (qemu:///session) on NixOS. I found this to be a far superiour alternative vs VirtualBox which I had used for almost 8 years. I also use Docker on my servers, so Docker or podman on NixOS would also be interesting, but User Session libvirt VM hosting on NixOS would be probably enough for 1 video. Again - Thanks for the time you've put into these videos. I've now watched some others, but yours has been the best I've seen on NixOS.
    2
  1270.  @Doriandotslash  sorry for the late response, yes that was the cause and I fixed it days ago I also needed to use -march=native - 02 pipe, thank you for the help! And also thank u for the awesome tuts :D
    2
  1271. Very helpful, nice and clearly explained. Thanks
    2
  1272. whoa! amazing video!
    2
  1273.  @Doriandotslash  yup I use that on my desktop, for my laptops I like to use window managers specifically DWM, It's very minimalist and user friendly and I need minimalism as I run gentoo on a older computer that doesn't really handle DE's as good.
    2
  1274.  @Doriandotslash  very nice 🖤
    2
  1275.  @Doriandotslash  I had about half a decade of Linux experience before switching to Gentoo. That initial installation process forced me to learn almost as much new things that I knew before. Though this happened because I installed it on Virtualbox version that had some issues. I couldn't get things working, and naturally I thought it's because of Gentoo. I troubleshooted like crazy and learned a ton. Finally I tried different settings on Virtualbox, and now it started working. Later I installed Gentoo on my laptop. I had to use wifi for installation process, not the easiest thing. And getting bluetooth, power management, Qemu virtualization etc. working on that laptop was another learning experience. And finally I wanted to optimize everything to be as fast as possible. So I used testing branch to get GCC 10, GentooLTO overlay to get LTO and Graphite loop optimizations. And PGO and 0fast level for all packages, GentooLTO has exceptions on those packages that require them. I end this novel by saying I enjoyed the ride and found the same excitement on computing I had when I was child in late 80s playing with Commodore 64 and later with Amigas.
    2
  1276. Gentoo is awesome, though installing soystemd should be criminal act. Gentoo is best with lite desktops or with window managers. Gentoo is stable and amazing. After initial learning period it's hard to switch to anything else anymore. Gentoo testing branch with GentooLTO overlay, that's where the journey ends. Linux can't get better than that. But don't go straight to these, learn Gentoo first.
    2
  1277.  @Doriandotslash  According to Alan Pope of Ubuntu you always should use swap, even if you have enough memory. He explained it on a Big Daddy Linux Live episode once.
    2
  1278. Wonderful video quality tnx
    2
  1279. Thanks for the vid! Better than most bait-tubers
    2
  1280. little things. It didn't recognize the number pad on my new laptop. I couldn't find how to disable the touchpad when a mouse is plugged in. Other small things.
    2
  1281. Don't feel bad. I went back to XFCE a few days ago.
    2
  1282. Mint 19. Seriously - it works flawlessly.
    2
  1283. They say you should uncheck the check box in Nvidia drivers that say "vsync" and then check it back again. That usually happens when you use some recording program
    2
  1284. run peppermint 9 on that partition
    2
  1285. Did you try both xorg and wayland session? Maybe you're using wayland, and that's why all the flickering shows up...
    2
  1286. Manjaro Gnome! Same here.
    2
  1287. A customized Gnome3 desktop environment is the best choice, such as Ubuntu18.04/Manjaro Gnome/Antergos.
    2
  1288. Interesting. I've yet to fully test OBS on my current KDE setup. I'll keep a lookout.
    2
  1289.  @Doriandotslash  Ubuntu has given me a lot of headache in the past. Debian feels like a polar opposite in a good way.
    2
  1290. Thank you for making this! Very well put together.
    2
  1291. Thanks for the informative video.
    2
  1292. You make Linux look such fun and enjoyable Thankyou
    2
  1293.  @Doriandotslash  thank you already upgraded to bullseye
    2
  1294. I agree with the other 2 comments. Overall, very thorough and to the point.
    2
  1295. Congrats with 500 aaaaand 1 subs. I like to be surprised, so surprise me. I'm not a gamer, just interested in Linux and how to use it, that's why I subbed to your channel and to different others.
    2
  1296. DorianDotSlash  haha nice glad you could fix it, weird that is was disabled to begin with, but maybe netrunner is using the snapshot instead and let the user enable the regular debian repo if they want so:)
    2
  1297. Love the new logo! I may have to take Netrunner for a spin. I've never tried it. Thanks, Dorian.
    2
  1298. Very nice, but noting beats my Peppermint;)
    2
  1299. thanks for the vedio, i have a linux server from www.datasoft.ws, i am using voip application vicidial in it
    2
  1300. openSUSE Leap 15 is pure perfection! :) Just one thing though; during install and I did network install, I've chosen custom and selected my favorite DE being Xfce and only Xfce, not office suite etc. with preselected software, but it installed everything. Something I thought doing it by myself after install, selectivly. Just something for da developers to check out, it's not all about KDE and GNOME! :) And some good news: "openSUSE Leap 15 shares a common core with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 15 sources and has thousands of community packages on top to meet the needs of professional and semi-professional users and their workloads. The release at the openSUSE Conference will give the openSUSE community and Free Open Source Software projects an opportunity to discuss plans for the openSUSE Leap 15 release, which will receive maintenance updates for at least three years." [A]
    2
  1301. To bad with Scion but i really like your tutorials...desktop from scratch.... own repo. .. etc... keep up the good work
    2
  1302. Okay, about Scion Linux, I know you stopped developing it, but I am working on a continuation of it and therefore I am sending you an image with everything restored to its full working state in October 2018. Hope you are happy.
    2
  1303. When you talk about installing the xfce plugin at 28:00, it is not needed to add `pkgs.`, because inside the array you're already in an area where you have access to eveything inside `pkgs` thanks to `with pkgs;` just before it. You can read more about the With expression in the manual ( https://nixos.org/nixos/nix-pills/basics-of-language.html#idm140737320567600 ). :) Great video otherwise!
    2
  1304. Totally interesting video. Thank you!
    2
  1305. wow, amazing video!! I just started getting into NixOS and this video is perfect. Thank you for doing this!
    2
  1306. What a distro && What a video !!
    2
  1307. This is the video I wish I had seen when I tried out NixOS. However, from my understanding, it's not so easy to make reproducible builds i.e. pinning the versions of the software that is being installed (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9682). If it's possible, then that would make for a very interesting video.
    2
  1308. Great introduction! Which over do you like more? Nix or fedora silverblue?
    2
  1309. I'm confortable with installing arch, this is like a piece of cake and wow it's so easy and also so powerfull! I can upload to the cloud just a bunch of config files and have the recipe to rebuild my entire system if something goes crazy enough to the point I can't even boot into the system. Or if I want to install it on another machine/disk is super easy to reinstall everything It's amazing.
    2
  1310. Finally a coherent introduction!
    2
  1311. Amazing video. Thank you for making it, I was thinking of nix os as its set it once and it works forever but the learning curve seems steep. I found someone elses dotfiles and file structure for nix os which I intended to use/inpire from and later cut things out of it I dont need to make it to suit me. This will help. Btw its the Hlissner nixos dotfiles.
    2
  1312. The Nix Package manager sounds a lot like the original NextPorts/DarwinPorts, which was on NextStep then PowerPC Macs and is now called MacPorts. But when Apple moved to Intel Macports became more like pacman and the NetBSD package manager (pkgsrc). Then along came Homebrew for Mac & Linux and MacPorts became the unfashionable package manager for Apple computers. I think I'll try NixOS it looks very interesting 🤔 🧐 🤨 !
    2
  1313. Thanks Man for your great videos! Your videos about NixOS helped me finnaly install it! 😊 Your content is easy to understand for newbies, which is not often in Linux-related topics. Thank you very much for your content, you are a great Man! 👍
    2
  1314. Long time not seen. Wellcome back;)
    2
  1315. Checkout home manager.
    2
  1316. excellent video. looking forward to your future videos on nixos/nix-env. This is a very cool distribution with regards to saving configurations. Im about to partition my drive to include 2 distros, 1st is the main working one, and the other is a backup. so each distro has to have basically similar service configuration. Now with Nix0S or nix-env, I don 't need to have a backup OS installed. I just need NixOS, tailor some configurations, such as programming, videomaking, playing around, etc, and switch from one to the other. I may tinker with this option further.
    2
  1317. Your voice sounds like a very big comb. Its really cool to listen to. If you get a noise remover for the static it would be perfect!
    2
  1318. Very nice introduction. I wonder how nix os would handle a wm like dwm or an application launcher like dmenu or other suckless programs that are compiled from source
    2
  1319. Me also. I spent about 2 weeks getting NIXOS installed and researching the config file, but having this video really explains how the config file works and what to change. Thank you and awaiting the next videos to go further into NIXOS.
    2
  1320. great tutorial, looking to try on my own
    2
  1321. I've used this video to install NixOS on 2 machines now, it's been really helpful. Thank you!
    2
  1322. In my native language, "nix" means "nothing". I'm very interested in this vid, because all should/could come out of nothing.
    2
  1323. This is the most interesting Linux distribution since Slackware for me. Love it so far on my ThinkPad 420. ( I had to hook it up via cable to do the install though) Now everything works including BT, thx to the manual. Dual boot? - ehm I was not successful there. No matter, I'm happy with NixOS ruling. It feels futuristic. Thank you for a good video. Subbed Btw, could I skip Grub and just boot straight into NixOS? Or maybe not because it also would skip the choice for another generation.
    2
  1324. Nice clean video. Btw I run arch
    2
  1325. I'm not a Manjaro user because it goes against my thang and that thang is Arch..However I do like watching your videos..How's the baby thing wishing you all the best EVER
    2
  1326. Just found your channel, these videos are great! I'm going to show these to my students in CIS 124 Intro to Operating Systems.
    2
  1327. Thank you for this tutorial.
    2
  1328. ​ @Doriandotslash  And they are great. Your videos are nicely done and very informative (which I appreciate the most). Distro review (for instance) is not just scrolling through software or settings. It's much more; you share how it feels using it, issues you encountered, interesting features, something unique. I don’t know how I missed the video that is actually quite important for me. I'm glad to see that you are here, that this is just a needed pause (perhaps). I suppose you are very busy with a new family member. :)
    2
  1329. Haha I posted how to do this on reddit 2 weeks ago! But het another great video! You rock!
    2
  1330. Hi, we (with my brother) managed to find the solution in the meanwhile. We had to write a different line. gksu gedit /etc/pulse/default.pa It worked so. ;) (I am not a Linux expert, I don't know what this is, but it may help you and others)
    2
  1331. works on Pop os, based on Ubuntu(20.04 LTS)
    2
  1332. Very cool! Will give it a try. Thanks.
    2
  1333. 4 years later and your video still sorted me out, thanks very much man, much appreciated!
    2
  1334. Krita is not any slower than GIMP... But it can in some cases be slower than photoshop, still, for example in the case of brush engines, krita does indeed have slower brushes than photoshop, but it has significantly more versatile brush engines than photoshop allowing for greater customization, as a tradeoff. I bet if you had choppiness with MPV, you were using an upscaling algorithm that was just too much for your hardware, or not using the opengl renderer, try an mpv front-end like media player classic qt, see how it works, it should have the gl renderer on by default. I know, steamplay is better than POL for games though :D that's why I wanted to mention it. To tell the truth though, I wasn't aware photoshop could run properly through wine until I saw this video, last I checked a few years ago it wouldn't work right.
    2
  1335. It's hard to keep it down to ten. 1. firefox 2. chromium 3. urxvt or st 4. gnu screen, i don't like tmux 5. logrotate 6. ncdu <--- useful for finding and removing bloat 7. gcc 8. aria2 9. mplayer 10. tor + privoxy + polipo
    2
  1336. Lutris is for games but you can also use it as a front-end for wine if you wanted to. Yeah hopefully soon proton will get better. Some games still don't work with proton but do with lutris.
    2
  1337. You missed : Ubuntu cleaner, Snapd, Inkscape
    2
  1338. Glad I found this list. I've forgotten about guake, now rediscovered it! My List is qtcreator (must have if editing in C/C++) thunderbird, and your list. :)
    2
  1339. Haroopad is so cool. Thanks, I didn't know that one! If you're just using photoshop for some drop shadows/ blur effects and outlines on text and want to be able to change the text with the effect applied, you could use Inkscape instead. It's much "cleaner" to work with text in a vector graphics editor anyway. You kinda have to do more things manually aswell, but the things you did in the video can be done. Just watch this guys tutorials and you'll learn to love inkscape: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEQXp_fcqwPcqrzNtWJ1w9w/playlists
    2
  1340. Spotify, Audacious, MPV Player, Chrome, Kodi, Transmission, gedit, GIMP
    2
  1341. I quess the corect title for me is " I Must-Have Linux Apps for 2018" . Good video man!
    2
  1342. Very nice list. Thank you. Also very nice: Krita, Inkscape and Scribus. (and so many nice free / open source programs more :)
    2
  1343. Thanks dude ;)
    2
  1344. Just one word ..... Awesome
    2
  1345. There's a lot to like. No more video tearing. I had some audio problems but SwitchedToLinux's video showed me how to fix that. The only things that bug me are that some applications I use are not available in QT (gPodder, Firefox, Thunderbird).
    2
  1346. Looks incredibly modern, and I heard it's really light while still offering all those plugins. Personally I like my barebone setups but KDE is looking nice these days
    2
  1347. Gnome does run well on Manjaro.
    2
  1348. To get rid of desktop icons, unlock your widgets, right-click on the desktop -> configure desktop and set layout to "Desktop" and it will get rid of icons. If for any reason I'm compelled to restart the desktop, I go "killall plasmashell && plasmashell" and that will do the trick. You can run that in the alt+space krunner menu. Once you enter it once it will remember the command next time you start typing it. You can forcefully add photoshop to the panel by unlocking your widgets, right-clicking on Photoshop, and go "add to panel (widget); the only caveat is that you can't position it between other icons in the task manager. On a side note, to get rid of window borders, go system settings -> application style -> window decorations and set "border size" to "no borders".
    2
  1349. Is gparted-live designed strictly for Linux based partition/file recovery operations? If you boot from a live gparted-live USB flash drive, can you explore and recover Windows based partitions and files deleted from NTFS file systems (and FAT32, etc)? Great video, by the way.
    2
  1350. I don’t know if you’re going to see this comment but yoı definitely saved my really important data. And now I know how to recover files aswell, that’s a pretty new thing. Great video, thanks a lot man.
    2
  1351. Thanks again
    2
  1352. DorianDotSlash Im glad your channel is getting busier. I tried to learn Red Hat a few years ago, but gave up as it was too hard. I started on Linux Mint, a while ago, and actually enjoy it, and now have it as a Dual boot on my pc. Boot = Win 10 or Linux Mint
    2
  1353. Dorian, Thankyou for being respectful to your Subscribers. You always respond. Thankyou and Happy New Year
    2
  1354. wooooow
    2
  1355. Hey, thanks. Will do that later. It is how I set up "time" working with XFCE, so I understand the "%letter" settings. Also, I did install your system in a laptop partition and that was successful and I did not enable a grub update in during the partitioning section of the install since I already had a grub with U-Mate, so upon reboot, I got a terminal in U-Mate and then did a "sudo update-grub" and all was good. Thanks for your help and your interest in developing an interesting looking new system.
    2
  1356. Like your "turn off touchpad option" to add in your plan and thought making the time setting more helpful to those who use a 12 hr am and pm clock. I like the colorful look and your choices for background options. Your settings changes are working. I liked your larger Mercury setting. Is your plan to have a standard release option or is your goal to be rolling release format? I hate the rolling issues that one gets into with Arch systems with .pacnew, .pacsave, and .pacorig type files that come with updates. Never knew how to handle those since directions are sketchy. Just some simple thoughts and questions for you. Best of good wishes.
    2
  1357. Cool! I'll download asap
    2
  1358. how custom can this get? is this just mishmashing pre existing linux utilities? or can this method really make this look unlike any of the main de options?
    2
  1359. hi, you can use also lxpanel for the taskbar sudo apt install lxpanel
    2
  1360. DorianDotSlash Thank you! I'll try to get it up and running when I can. Right now I have a few more things I want to do before installing a openbox.
    2
  1361. Thanks man for showing me how to make a custom Ubuntu environment! How do you install Virtual Box Additions Image on it?
    2
  1362. Wow! That's nice! Thank you for the effort!
    2
  1363. Nice video. In this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFomCJNzFyc you can see how to know which desktop interface you have installed in your Linux distribution.
    2
  1364. The ampersand POWER!!!! :)
    2
  1365. This is exactly what I needed. I am going to use this way of configuration on my kali nethunter oneplus1, in vnc mode. Thanks for the good explanation professional, straight to the point. I am surfing your whole channel. I have two questions Do you do this as your job? Or is it your hobby. 2. I am trying to figure out how to make a captive portal so people can login with outlook Google or registrer with an email to use my wifi acces point and I dont know how to upstream my internet. Because I dont know much about captive portal html pages and my settings for hostapd has As phy=wlan1 as acces point and wlan0 as upstream but its still not upstreaming. Do you know how I can configure that in a good way? And basically is my kali nethunter a full chroot kali linux because I did apt-get install kali-Linux-everything. subscribed
    2
  1366. Would still like to see that update for Bionic Beaver... I have it running on 18 LTS on a VirtualBox virtual and it's running fine - except that docky is not so awesome. I'd like to see how you get along on it.
    2
  1367. If gedit says autostart.sh doesn't exist: 1) Install a file manager, I used nautilus 2) Press Ctrl + H, then click config. Create a folder there and name it openbox. 3) Right click while inside the openbox folder and select Open In terminal. Type the following: touch autostart.sh Then you can gedit into the folder and it will save.
    2
  1368. great video thank you I have a question or request now how can i make iso or bootable for other pc?
    2
  1369.  @Doriandotslash  That's great thanks
    2
  1370. Thanks for this one, you might want to make an updated version with a sick openbox UI ? :D
    2
  1371. this might be a little old, but this got me into openbox wm (which is still my favorite), thanks!
    2
  1372. I'm looking to move away from Google Calendar, and Microsoft. That's why I look at Linux distros :P
    2
  1373. The Galago Pro I bought 3+ years ago was not as well built as a high end Apple laptop, but it was cheaper and worked better for what I was doing at the time: network management. This last summer, I got an Oryx Pro which has been rock solid and incredibly fast for the work I do (lately media stuff).
    2
  1374. DorianDotSlash cool. Thanks for the reply! Sounds good
    2
  1375. Just to add: The teams behind elementary and pop! got together sometime last year and decided to work together on some projects, e.g. the new installer and their software-center.
    2
  1376. DorianDotSlash Wow! Thanks!
    2
  1377. Good video. I'd like your opinion on Antergos (preferrably the xfce version) or any other distros ideal for aging laptops.
    2
  1378. Super well done video, thankyou, picked up a few things that are very helpful
    2
  1379. This is very good guide. awesome work. Thank you
    2
  1380. GOD !!! THANK YOU !!! I Can Understand something ---- please more ---- LISTEN ALL ---- We/You found a person who has patience to explain this mess (for you) !!!
    2
  1381.  @Doriandotslash  Yeah I noticed that after I watched this and went on to a few high count videos. Glad you do well man, for new guys to Linux like me this stuff is like gold dust. Cheers for the time and effort made! Keep it up
    2
  1382. Your blender folder looks like mine...
    2
  1383. I'm about to do a clean instal of Ubuntu on my late 2013 iMac. My greatest problem/fear has been how I'll backup my photos, music and documents once Ubuntu is up and running. All the explanations I've seen up to now have totally confused me, but yours was a joy to behold. Thank you most kindly!
    2
  1384. very informative, thank you and which distro is that you are using its looking cool please tell.
    2
  1385. Thank you so much. Prose and to the point.
    2
  1386.  @Doriandotslash  Yeah, I'm lucky to be a freelancer and be able to use my own tools/stack for the most part.
    2
  1387. Thanks, it was a very informative video. And it is a wakeup call for me as I started my backup after watching your video!
    2
  1388. Thank you so much for making a video about exactly what I (and I have to imagine many others) wanted to know, with equally valuable supplemental information. Do you take Bitcoin Cash tips/contributions?
    2
  1389. Timeshift + Grsync for Linux system & home partitions backup. Important files are also stored on my NAS and i use an external USB3 HD to backup the NAS using automatic incremental backups.
    2
  1390. For backups i use NAS setup with Raid6 +1 Hotspare disk - with Raid5 if one drive fails you are not protected until the array is rebuilt. The hotspare helps to rebuilt the array faster if one disk fails and there's no one around to replace it soon.
    2
  1391. Very proffessional, love it!
    1
  1392.  @Doriandotslash  its just that we dont want to see people removing uefi partition.... hehehe
    1
  1393. Thanks
    1
  1394.  @Doriandotslash  That would be fantastic! I'm really looking forward to it :)
    1
  1395. Thank you very much. It helped me to setup Manjaro in my laptop!
    1
  1396.  @Doriandotslash  The same for me! Thank you! :)
    1
  1397. What distro is that? Looks very smooth. Looks very familiar to solus or at least the budgie desktop. My ram is 4gb DDR2 how much swap space should I make? Sometimes I get minor lags on solus 4.0 Also the wallpaper looks dope! Would love to know the source.
    1
  1398.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks.
    1
  1399. I switched to manjaro a while back. Learning arch commands takes some getting used to, but AUR and manjaro own tools are great.
    1
  1400. Get Linux mint or debian9
    1
  1401. Lately I've been using kde neon it's still based on Ubuntu so it feels familiar but unlike Ubuntu it doesn't use snap for everything
    1
  1402. manjaro is really good
    1
  1403. I switched Ubuntu to Fedora , because messed with the integrated sound card every time i made a kernel upgrade..
    1
  1404. Personaly i like manjaro, especially with the F12 drop down terminal.
    1
  1405. +1 for Arch
    1
  1406. Here this is what I use its called MX17 -- If you google it you will see. You may have even seen it your self.
    1
  1407. Switched to Debian when the stopped doing kde.
    1
  1408. I use three. Linux Mint, Ubuntu and I'm testing Kubuntu in Virtual Box. So far I'm very impressed with Kubuntu's resource usage and just the overall look and functionality after not using it for years. Was using Ubuntu 20.04 which is great. I'd say try 20.04 and see what you think. If you don't want to at the moment, try Linux Mint or Kubuntu 20.04 until something feels right maybe?
    1
  1409. I use Testing. It's like Ubuntu LTS but with newer packages and slightly more stable. Wierd, I know
    1
  1410. From Ubuntu I went to Fedora, Fedora is a good option but the rolling realise is kind of dangerous. Now I settled on Deepin Linux, beautiful, easy to use and very stable (it is based on Debian)
    1
  1411. As for your 1st question, NO! Ubuntu is crap and I don't understand why anyone would use it. I used Mint for 10 years. With the regular distro hopping throughout. I am a big fan of Arch, and been running Manjaro for 6 or 8 months. I think I'll be making it home for a while. If I go anywhere, it will be back to pure Arch.
    1
  1412. It's bizarre to do such thing for a desktop. This is why i completely disabled snap, removed all snap-crap apps and installed vanilla gnome desktop. My system is clean without the snaps but I'm still thinking about leaving Ubuntu as well...
    1
  1413. I agree, for a long time Fedora went too far out onto the bleeding edge and each release seemed to need at least a month of fixes before it was stable. 27 and 28 may represent a return to stability. Serge says its been stable for him from at least 24 onward.
    1
  1414. DorianDotSlash must have missed that😉
    1
  1415. Don't use any you mentioned, but OpenSuse I would like to see.
    1
  1416. Let me add something, Ubuntu has gone from a Linux for human beings, to a Big business that serves up clouds and stacks. I mean it’s their business and they can do whatever they want but they have implemented these kind of things that makes the user experience change from good or acceptable to, Im done, can’t take it no more kind of thing. SystemD, Netplan (New network config) and many small things that add up...I’m dual booting Solus & Mint...both stable, updated and secure.
    1
  1417. df -h
    1
  1418. Look at what i have done: https://i.imgur.com/5ipq44a.png
    1
  1419. i left windows 10 for manjaro kde
    1
  1420. Hmm, I have been playing with Xubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and MX-17. All three were very impressive, but for what you are concerned with MX-17 would provide a snap/flat packs free system and great support. Now if arch land is on your radar, you might look at ArcoLinux which offers endless customized themes and a very friendly support team. Can't say about Open Suse, no experience with it. Good luck on your quest. 👍
    1
  1421. After many years with Ubuntu LTS versions, I have decided to try something else. I have installed arch linux with a Mate desktop on an old laptop and after a while, this became my main everyday system. I am keeping Ubuntu because I have so many statistical packages installed there for my work, that I do not like re-installing again. However, I have the feeling that I will replace my Ubuntu machine with an arch based distro soon, probably as soon as I feel more confident in finding the software I need in the repositories. There are several arch based distros out there you can choose and try. I have tried Manjaro and Arcolinux in VMs and I was impressed by both, especially by the latter.
    1
  1422. I agree with every thing u said, great vid!
    1
  1423. How dare you!!! Hahahahahahahaha!! I totally agree with your rant mate!!
    1
  1424. Great message
    1
  1425. I don't care about Software ADOBE or something as much as the firmware level and hardware level.. hope to see open hardware dominates like RISC V
    1
  1426.  @Doriandotslash  100% agree. One day it'll change (I hope!)
    1
  1427. I really like this take, and totally agree with use what works for you, after all, diversity is what makes everything better
    1
  1428. yea use whats work also me : use bsd with removed bluetooth stack and disable hyperthread on kernel by default
    1
  1429. Spot on! I totally agree with you. On the other hand, I'm still having a trouble setting up Wine on my Mint machine. I tried with your tutorial from some time ago, but I got stuck during the setup... Any additional, idiot-proof resources you might recommend? A new, longer in-depth video guide from you would be cool as well ;) I mean, come on, help a dude who's still dual-booting :D
    1
  1430.  @Doriandotslash  oki . I'll see to that. Thanks for the reply 😁
    1
  1431. It will let you search menu items in applications items like File Edit View. It will only search those menus though, not any menus with icons. However, it can be a big help with applications that have dense menus like Libreoffice applications, Audacity, Gimp and Krita.
    1
  1432. If you have trouble finding menu items. You should look into Ubuntu Mate 18.04. They have implemented the HUD functionality that Unity used to have. Easily searching menu items just by clicking alt and typing for something.
    1
  1433. I can't blame you for the weather. It was warm here. It took me by surprise
    1
  1434. About Gentoo, maybe you can do a review of Calculate Linux too? I use the beta of Firefox and I use compact too, but with the titlebar unticked, so the tabs, minimize, maximize and close are on the same bar like in Windows.
    1
  1435.  @Doriandotslash  Aw man, well that is a bit worrisome. Hope everything checks out. Glad to hear about the new baby, though. Sending some thoughts out your way man. Take care.
    1
  1436. Really Awesome vid! By the way, to create user dirs you can simply install xdg-user-dirs next for openbox you can do this: $ cp -r /etc/xdg/openbox/ ~/.config/ then you can edit your autostart file
    1
  1437. Comprehensive video. Almost what i do to a letter.
    1
  1438. very nice
    1
  1439. You really know your stuff Dorian. Was nice to watch. Good luck with the baby. I hope everything goes well.
    1
  1440. Nice explained. Thanks.
    1
  1441. I dont get people feeling so superior because they use something different, did they make it themselves , no! I use arch mainly because I like newer software but I don't think it's better, it's just right for me. I also use dwm not Gnome because I like it minimalist, it's just a choice.
    1
  1442. It's pronounced Gnome not Nome. See Destination Linux episode 64. Don't like Gnome personally. I use one panel with everything I use pinned on it. Don't like plank or dock.
    1
  1443. Btw arch is better Jk use what you want :) I understand your points, and I have used Ubuntu a ton as well, I just kinda got tired of it. Also I have glued myself to the aur and cannot leave now for lack of it.
    1
  1444.  @Doriandotslash thanks. I'm keep trying
    1
  1445. 16.04 the best for my until now 17 and 18 like phone os and not cool top bar at all my labtop 1336x768
    1
  1446. Great video thanks.
    1
  1447. i have a 3950x, with 64gbs of ram and an RTX 3080 i think i should be good teehee
    1
  1448. Thanks, great introduction.
    1
  1449. Thank you is not enough you saved a lot of my time
    1
  1450. Loved this short and informative video. Time to learn Qubes!
    1
  1451.  @Doriandotslash  sounds a bit confusing. i'll just back up my files on an external drive and fresh install
    1
  1452.  @Doriandotslash  thanks for your reply. Linux is amazing!
    1
  1453. Thanks for the video, how Tails compare to Qubes. Which one is better in terms of security?
    1
  1454. Really great, informative video, thank you! 🙏🏻 What hardware are you running Qubes on, please?
    1
  1455. Nice, very nice. Thank you !!
    1
  1456. Cool
    1
  1457. Thank you very much !
    1
  1458. Excellent video!!
    1
  1459.  @Doriandotslash  Right arm. Saves bucks for now, and it's a chip which will be supported for years if you just decide you can't live without some fancy new features down the road. :)
    1
  1460.  @Doriandotslash  The thing is they're not universal. First Rule for me is refresh the system don't reload it. If I had a memory for CLI procedures that would be my preference. You make it easy to follow along. Great choice on the new CPU.
    1
  1461. Good to know the CLI solution. I gave myself major problems within days as a noob late last winter, and went with SuperGrub2 because it's just too easy. Saved my system many times. In the last few weeks I've installed Regolith, then i3wm alongside Mint Cinnamon, then ArcoLinux with i3, xfce, and OpenBox. I'm in a bit over my head, but that's one way to learn to swim. It's the space-efficiency and compartmentalization, and inherent focus. Without tiling, every window starts in competition with every other to be in front. Tiling is shoulder to shoulder. Small t truth is that set of inter-locking universalizable principles of Reason governing all relations and actions. So it fits. It's a way of thinking. I'm finding quirks of the system. :-o)
    1
  1462. Great video ! Could I request an update on your Fedora 30 Silverblue experience?
    1
  1463. If you use an arch live cd, you can just mount the partitions and do arch-chroot. This will do all bind mounts automaticaly and then chroot. I think manjaro-chroot works as well but I haven't used it
    1
  1464. Can’t wait for full release! I’m going to live my productions servers to rocky as soon as rocky is stable. Probably start testing this script in the next week or so and getting excited lol
    1
  1465. oh this is great news...am just waiting on what cpanel decides to use and i hope its Rocky
    1
  1466. This is amazing engineering. Thanks for sharing!
    1
  1467. ​ @Doriandotslash good to hear! Can't wait 🎉
    1
  1468.  @Doriandotslash  I hear ya. Now and again I've had to resort to Google to find stuff, but research is what I do, and I like to cut to the chase. :)
    1
  1469. I recommend duckduckgo to search. Yahoo, Bing, and Google get turfed out of habit every time. :) I use Timeshift set to a 1TB external.
    1
  1470. Thanks for the vid! How can we backup our whole system if a update (im gonna use Manjaro, byebye w$10) nuked our system?
    1
  1471. Thanks for creating this awesome video
    1
  1472. DorianDotSlash could you maybe do a small tour of your setup, pros&cons stuff like that?
    1
  1473. Thanks for this great video! What surprises me is that it doesn't yet have 1,000 views - it's very informative! One question I do have (since this is inevitably going to draw comparisons to mac OS's Time Machine feature): does your oldest backup keep everything from the previously oldest backup? Perhaps another way to explain it is: does this keep a hybrid rolling-complete backup? If I'm not making any sense let me try to explain. In Time Machine it keeps monthly backups until the drive is full. The oldest monthly backup will get deleted once it reaches that point. However, what's in the oldest to-be-deleted backup will migrate that data into the next oldest backup so you don't lose those files. Does Time Shift do this as well, or is every backup a copy of your files at the time the backup occurs? So, if I create "doc1.doc" on one day, then add "doc2.doc" on another, the next backup will grab only "doc2.doc" or will it have both "doc1.doc" & "doc2.doc"? Sorry for this being long-winded, I tried to play with Time Shift this past weekend & it didn't work for me at all, but I'm also not sure I have the correct expectations of it. Thanks a ton for the video!
    1
  1474. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just lost all of my scripts on my work machine due to a careless mistake, which I refuse to make again. Looking into rsync backup solutions, I stumbled upon this video. I just set up TimeShift on Manjaro and it was so simple. Great video, I just subscribed!
    1
  1475. You either use your bootable DVD to do backup/restore or if you have a dual boot system with Windows, then of course you can install the program and do the Linux partition backup from there. There is also a built in scheduler which I never use. Of course it is a windows program so it is not installable in Linux. No scheduler there. Never tried it in wine but I don't think that work. Remember that it's only to backup disk/partitions, not individual files. If you have a windows computer, try it out. The free version has pretty much everything you need.
    1
  1476.  @Doriandotslash  I'm trying to get off Mac this weekend (looking at Manjaro Linux) and having a capability comparable to Time Machine is a pleasant surprise.

  1477.  @Doriandotslash  Right. I liked it, from when I was on Windows. I already paid for it. When I transitioned over, I found they had it for Linux, and it was already paid for. If I didn't already have it, I'd probably use something like Rsynch. I don't mind paying for software if I use it a lot. But I like the communal nature of Linux.

  1481.  @Doriandotslash  I tried the dash to panel from master it broken on 3.38 most of the extensions are. I think after a week it possible that we can the extensions working.

  1482. Used to be a flavor for linux. Now it is the main dish.

  1483. I ran it on parallels on mac but I had to choose to boot the iso as a cd/dvd the one cool thing I found is that the terminal monitor TOP has been revamped. I'm not sure if this was Gnome's doing or someone else but top is now very similar to htop or btm -b so that was a nice addition. This does show the glaring issues with gnome that has plagued it for years. No easy way to enable dark mode, no simple way to keep the dock from being hidden and the folders need revamping BADLY. But other than that it ran pretty well in a Mac VM.

  1484.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks Dorian! I will watch your Fedora Silverblue vid immediately! Again, thank you for taking your time to help others make a well informed choice on an OS.
    1
  1485. I really like the update is a complete image. I also like how your app icons can be arranged in groups, like a tablet or phone. Could this be a future Linux phone OS that is not android?

  1486.  @Doriandotslash  thanks for reply man !

  1487. Why do you mirror your external screen instead of just doing a monitor extend. I always do extend for me and everyone at work that you get more monitor real estate. I'm not an Elementary OS fan. Too many things I don't like about it and too restrictive for me. I'd rather use i3wm, Gnome, or Mint. I still enjoyed your video on your thoughts and experience. Liked
    1
  1488.  @Doriandotslash  thanks man! I subbed because of your "things to do after installing linux" video. I didnt have an issue booting into my distro, but I did notice a 20% battery life improvement after setting the ascpi to windows 2009 in grub.
    1
  1489.  @Doriandotslash  What a bummer! Guess if you're changing displays or res a lot, that could be frustrating. There's a kernel updates app on flathub - or the native app store if you've used flathub previously - and system is running stable with 5.8. Keep the vids coming!
    1
  1490.  @Doriandotslash  Biggest downside of the OS. It should be user choice, but on the other hand that's what you can expect if you go with Elementary.

  1495. This is gold! Subscribed!

  1496.  @no_more_free_nicks  So maybe it's the fact that NVIDIA is terrible with support of GPUs on Linux. New GPUs (or fairly new ones in most cases) always have crappy support. If you ever use an AMD GPU with Linux, I guarantee your experience will be better, due to AMD working with Linux developers much more, also AMD drivers are open source.
    1
  1497. Finally someone who can explain it to non-Linux user. Thanks a lot.

  1503. how can I not have seen this for my entire life... This is heaven.... Am I alive? It's a dream come true for me. I used to have ubuntu from dualboot when I was little, but I didn't really know what it was. Now I discovered it again... Thank you god... Thank you for opening my eyes to free software, where the software itself is actually useful and not made to be bought and replaced but made to be used, software that does not "offer" me things, but just acts like a tool. Thank you.

  1510. Just from this video I can tell that you deserve way more subs. Nice job.
    1
  1511. Nice man. Haven't used Manjaro a ton, but do really like my current vanilla Arch build which I've been using for 4 or 5 months now. Best decision I have made since I made the switch to Linux a year and half ago. Was gonna rec it to you a few days ago, when you asked, but figured you probably didn't need another Arch fanboy, telling you how great it is:P Manjaro seems like a good distro, with a good following and not too many people seem to bash on it, oddly enough (everything in the Linux world seems to get at least a little bit of hate, it seems). So I wish you awesome times on it! If how easy it was for you to get your GPU up and going is any sign, things are looking pretty good. Take care:)
    1
  1512. Any idea whether support for XBOX 360 Wireless pads are in full support? Unfortunately, with Ubuntu proper packages for the driver (xboxdrv & pads and custom ppas) lack at communicating hardware to software. I'm wondering whether in Arch/Manjaro things are the same as I'm also considering switching. Thanks and as always, great job.
    1
  1513. That's unfortunate, because I really enjoyed openSUSE. I'm gonna try my luck with Pop! os very soon
    1
  1514. Good luck with your Manjaro. Speaking of broken updates, have you seen English Bob's Calculate video? He had everything set up as he wanted, but when he did a update, his Calculate was bricked. He forgot to backup. All his hard work for nothing. He forgot one of his own rules. Hard lesson to learn. Have a nice weekend Dorian;)
    1
  1515. DorianDotSlash already seen that, shall try sooner and get back to you.
    1
  1516. Hey Dorian, can you please make a video on setting up optimus on Manjaro, right from the installation of OS. That would be very helpful. I couldn't get it running, so stuck on Ubuntu.
    1
  1517. i wish u luck with this manjaro build
    1
  1518. even i like opensuse xfce
    1
  1519. I have an Nvidia GTX 750 ti and wanted to install openSUSE tumbleweed in i3 but installing the drivers was why I went back to my favourite distro Arch. I think openSuse has the best installer I have ever seen and also other amazing software. It's a bummer about the graphics though. I'm thinking about retrying when I have the time.
    1
  1520. You think Leap has issues, do a Google Search of how you update OpenSUSE rolling release and grab some popcorn.
    1
  1521. What is your host machine ? Thanks for video
    1
  1522. I will play with it in a vbox but if I switch, I wait until the .1 release in July. After playing with the mini.iso, that is the way I will go in the future. a 50MB iso and total control over the install. Thanks for the video.
    1
  1523. Not a fan of the standard Ubuntu. If I would go with Ubuntu, I would go with the Budgie or Mate version.

  1524. Twins! Congratulations:) busy times ahead;)

  1525. Just uploaded a couple more things to the deviantart.. I took the PNG you uploaded and turned it into a vector and then turned that vector into a 3D image in blender. Let me know if you want me to send either of those files because down the road if the splashscreen gets updated having a vector for your logo will make the animation process a lot easier :)
    1
  1526. Hey man if I think it would be cool if you gave a high-res PNG or something similar of your logo.. the whole project is very intriguing and I'd love to just mess around and make some bakcgrounds for the good people who are interested in Scion.
    1
  1527. DorianDotSlash Okay. I have been wanting to use your tutorials on my main computer that's been down for about a year. I really like your tutorials. I did get most of the stuff working on the pi though.

  1529.  @Doriandotslash  I did I tried a few times. I even tried the CLI to help connect it to the Ethernet. I just installed the Ubuntu build with nothing but web, essentials. Screw it. I'll just build from there. Thanks Dorian./.
    1
  1530.  @Doriandotslash  honestly, I didn't even think of it. I was in my living room trying to get it to connect to my wifi thus forgetting... There's an Ethernet wire plugged into my TV lol. Yo... Haha. 🤣😂

  1531. DorianDotSlash Great ! Exciting to make this iso for my further vM’s
    1
  1532.  @Doriandotslash  That fixed it! booting straight from an old Pentium 4 machine but holding shift still did the trick. It was as I suspected, a typo in the bash_profile. Thanks for your super fast response
    1
  1533.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks for your reply
    1
  1534. To edit what exactly? If you prefer a GUI editor you can use leafpad or geany which are installed in the terminal with "sudo apt install leafpad" or replace leafpad with geany or whichever editor you prefer. But you need at least openbox running to use those. If you're only in the terminal stage, you use something like nano, like I do in the video. Also, see my other videos for more, such as my #1 video in this series.

  1548. Awesome man needed an explanation for this command for university writeups and i totally understand it, cheers mate. ps - reminds me of the days i used to use 'desktops.exe' (the blue window icon program) on windows to switch between different screens so i could do work on one and play games on the other without teacher realising in primary school.

  1553. Great video! Btw, what theme are you using on this video!?
    1
  1554. I HATE KDE ( BUG D E)
    1
  1555. DorianDotSlash  If you do so, look closely at the RAM usage of "gnome-shell" process because that's where the bulk of improvement is. From my own experience, that process alone used to go up to 0.5 GB within a few minutes and sometimes up to 1 GB resident memory if you keep using GNOME for a while, which is ridiculous. In GNOME 3.30, I kept an eye on it in System Monitor and never saw it reach even 200 MB resident memory, which is very impressive.
    1
  1556. I think that's how Linux Mint Debian Edition also works. You have the fixed Debian base, and the Cinnamon components are rolling updates. I like that because sometimes these desktop environment updates have significant performance improvements (like the recent GNOME 3.30), but at the same time, I prefer to have a stable fixed-release system.
    1
  1557. DorianDotSlash I’m back on Antergos KDE and it’s running smooth like butter. Also uses less memory ;)
    1
  1558. I've been waiting for neon to be on Bionic, now I can recommend it to people :) still a gnome user myself, especially with the performance improvements in 3.30
    1
  1559.  @Doriandotslash  Yup It works. Thanks a lot dude.
    1
  1560. Very nice, but if I was a new user that wanted to try KDE, I would go for Kubuntu.
    1
  1561.  @Doriandotslash  Yes, I am. It's pretty impressive, I can't believe it. I trust a lot top and htop, don't like to see gnome monitor.

  1567. Nice and usefull vídeo. Give you my thanks.
    1
  1568. Yeah, it's existed, I think, since KDE 4, but it completely changed in KDE 5.
    1
  1569. Well, Discover is the default KDE software manager, just like GNOME software
    1
  1570. Love this system. Lightweight and very stable, never had any issues with it. I enjoyed using KDE (DE I like) here, but TDE as well which is so customisable and has many settings. Thanks for the video. :)
    1
  1571. That's interesting, I will definitely look into it.
    1
  1572. Very interesting, indeed. I may give it a try and update the kernel manually. Once again, thank you!
    1
  1573. Yes i tried it, but with no use. No problem i'll keep searching for a solution to this issue
    1
  1574. nice review - have you tried or thought about trying nixos?
    1
  1575. I've had this problem to so can I recommend Rosa image writer..I've never had anything fail with this unless there's a problem with the USB..However there is on caveat it doesn't seem to work on any Manjaro distro..I have no idea why it just doesn't.
    1
  1576. Thanks for the reply. I have already installed the nvidia drivers. The GUI driver installer had nvidia (recommended) next to it. It does have Prime listed -not Optimus. I was wondering if I could update to Optimus but your explanation cleared that up. I do have the option in the nvidia settings to switch between intel and nvidia.
    1
  1577. Hey I see you struggle with apps opening in your second monitor. You can set a window rule for apps to open in your first monitor. You don't have to create a rule for each and every app. Use a regule expression that matches every window (a single *) and you should be good to go!
    1
  1578. @Szady Cbr thank you for your words. I tested it this morning and I saw that it comes with no apps istalled. Then I had to use Synaptic a lot for downloading the apps I need. At the moment I'm testing the live of AntiX and it is very impressive for speed. I have to do very few things with my netbook (web, libre office word, mail, youtube) So I would like to have a not complicated (even in look) very light distro.
    1
  1579.  @Doriandotslash  Wow...so low! Ok Thank you!
    1
  1580. Thanks a lot for the review.This is the most stable distro i have ever tried.I love it and will never ever change it.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
    1
  1581. I say give it a go on another machine! I'd definitely be curious to hear your thoughts on it. Take care:)
    1
  1582.  @Doriandotslash  it's very funny, I've downloaded the Antergos yesterday and they stopped their project today .. 😅
    1
  1583. I'd never do it again, but I am thinking that if I need to install from scratch again, I'd use Anarchy with their special repos deactivated, which turns it into a pure Arch installer. If I can talk my wife into switching to Linux I'd do Antergos on her machine.
    1
  1584. Appreciate the video. Antergos Xfce is one of my top 3 favorites.
    1
  1585. On my Sleekbook I used touchpad indicator to turn the touchpad off. Looks nice, but with Adwaita dark even better. Are you familiar with Arco Linux by Eric Dubois? Based on Arch too.
    1
  1586. 40th like =)
    1
  1587. Thx for the video Dorian. I've used Mandriva, Mint, MX, Lite, Peppermint, Manjaro and finally settled in with Antergos xfce. I'm a non-gamer, non-developer with older hardware. Give me a browser, LibreOffice, Thunderbird and Gimp and I'm happy. What I need is speed, simplicity and a smidge of customizabilty. I'm not interested in bloat. Antergos Xfce delivered exactly the kind of out-of-the-box experience I desired. Plus, it stays up-to-date perpetually! No reinstalls! No PPAs! I give it 2 thumbs up for all but the noobiest of noobs (for which I recommend Linux Lite or elementary).
    1
  1588. DorianDotSlash yes, at the end before reboot “Can’t install necessary packages. Cnchi can’t continue.” i disnt dig it but when have a time try again and sory for hdd :(
    1
  1589. Manjaro is SOOOO much better than Ubuntu
    1
  1590. I just moved from Ubuntu to Manjaro gnome. I gave up on fixing the lagging issues of Ubuntu. Figured I want something stable or something I can work with without crazy rage moments. I needed to convert .tar.gz files to Pac-Man file before installing. But hope Manjaro is able to fix this by introducing an inherent feature to convert and install the file.

  1592. DorianDotSlash but I also want to thank you because I am a Linux virgin. After 20+ years of messing with Windows I wanted to try something different and your videos are very helpful.
    1
  1593. How did you get dual screen with optirun! D: I've been thinking of switching out of Kubuntu as well; though I'm late for this video, I am also waiting for Manjaro 18.0 Release. Only thing that stopped me was circumstances at the time didn't allow me much space to learn. But man I am... (actually yes,) Hispanic to make the switch.
    1
  1594. DorianDotSlash Thanks Dorian, I will do that. The best of luck to your Channel! :)
    1
  1595. First, i'd like to say that its awesome that you reply to your subscribers. I appreciate it! I did try the ”sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300” command, but without any luck. Also tried using the gui app but that didnt work other. After doing a lot of research I discovered that many people with hybrid systems (intel & nvidia) had the same issue trying to get their nvidia gpu working. It's a real shame, cause I love Manjaro. Linux Mint just made it so simple for me. Install the distro and then use the mintdriver app. It does a quick scan of my hardware and then recommends the ndvidia driver to install and within a minute or so I was up and running. Now I have the optimus icon in the panel which allows me to switch between intel and nvidia. I keep it on nvidia cause for some reason, when I switch over to intel, my laptop fan just starts spinning on high speed right after login back in after the restart.It's fine by me to keep the nvidia active though as the only downside is that it uses more battery power than the intel card.
    1
  1596. Hi Dorian, great video and congrates on the baby that's on the way! :) I have a question for you, how did you manage to get optimus to run on manjaro. I have a laptop with a intel gpu and nvidia 1050, and have been trying to get Manjaro installed but have been having a nightmare trying to get optimus to run and Manajro to sintall the nvidia drivers. finally I gave up and installed Mint which does all that automatically and so easily within a minute or so using the Mintdrivers applet.
    1
  1597. First of all, thanks for your fast reply. I'm using Mint 18.04 and the only reason to have a second boot device with windows is the adobe creative cloud bundle. A virtual machine didn't helped because I haven't enough resources for rendering big timelapse in this configuration. Thanks you for the detailed explanation. Hopefully these are the last steps away from windows. P.S: Your channel is great, keep on :)
    1
  1598.  @Doriandotslash  oh, okay... Kdenlive works fine on XFCE and KDE Versions of Manjaro.
    1
  1599. I lolled at hispanic. But it's the middle of the night and I get giggly when I'm tired. I changed from Linux Mint to Manjaro a couple of months ago and still loving it. Used Ubuntu before that, but stopped using that a couple of years ago. Had some problems in Manjaro with network folders not unmounting properly, but that has been solved after a reinstall. Also lost some shortcuts, but apparently some default shortcuts (Super for Startmenu, Ctrl+Alt+Del for logout) are deleted when you add custom shortcuts. But you can add those shortcuts manually. Also love the theming possibilities (KDE). Using the ByBes Orange theme in combination with Breeze dark.

  1631. Nice vid. I've learned a little just by using mint a few times over the years.. But, this knocked out any questions i might have had about the default folder structure. Had to stop and pause and skip back to re-hear or write something down, meaning the video was 'quick'. No harm there though. Great vid, and thanks!

  1634. Thank you! I personally am still on Windows XP Pro and WILL NOT go to Windows 10! Linux is going to be an part of a Dual Boot. I really needed the breakdown of the directory. I catch on fast to this type of information. I basically have been messing with open source NT project. [ReactOS] I plan on making a basic OS with common programs and driver database included into the ISO. Then release it to Torrent sites. I am already up to 2gb compressed. Not even close to done. The ISO wont need a lot of space on the HD.

  1641. 3:22 hehe it is actually the only folder where i played around. with the help of the internet i changed the way grub was configured to dual boot and it saved me from formatting and reinstalling all over again. great video!
    1
  1642. So to sum up it has a lot of directories, that could brick the system if you mess around in them
    1
  1643. Thank you for the great content
    1
  1644. fuckin' wild paying for a 4 year CS degree and never getting taught this.
    1
  1645. Shame on you for not also saying the most common explanation for /etc is 'extended tool chest'. Might not be as they intended but millions of programmers know it as such!
    1
  1646. I can't think of any better explanation. Great job!
    1
  1647.  @Doriandotslash  Do not buy BetaMax... :)

  1648. Very neat video, I had to use linux against my will due work. Now I can continue my plan to travel back in time and stab the linux creator with a wooden stake. :)
    1
  1649. Thank you for explanation, Dorian. Can you explain what is the difference between Application Manager in Linux and Windows Registry in Windows? People argue a lot about that and sometimes even quarrel.
    1
  1650. I like how you change the perspective and the sound at 0:18 util 0:24 until someone searching C drive
    1
  1651. There's nothing in my /boot folder because I'm using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
    1
  1652. High level of explanation. Thanks alot.
    1
  1653. Great video, I finally understood where I should search when I can't find something in my systems. Sounds silly but it's true, I didn't know the linux structure until now, and I've been using it for 4 years
    1
  1654. Awesome video, great to have a digestible walkthrough of the FHS
    1
  1655. Excellent!
    1
  1656. I've been using Linux for a little while already, but I still learned a couple things from this. (though my distro does a couple weird things)
    1
  1657. Thank you for this video!
    1
  1658. Nice and consise.
    1
  1659. That was awesome! Thank you!
    1
  1660. I love you <3 Thanks for this easy-to-understand video
    1
  1661. This is the first time hearing about Linux and it's content. My brain is full of confusion right now 😄
    1
  1662. i have been looking for a video that explains this for soooooo long
    1
  1663. Very good info. Thanks!
    1
  1664. Appreciated. Thank you
    1
  1665. / > \ clearly.
    1
  1666. This video was one of the missing links I needed for a better understanding of Linux...thanks man!!
    1
  1667. Great now i am even more confused
    1
  1668. Couldn't be explained better.
    1
  1669. Thanks you very Much Sir. i love your videos.
    1
  1670. Nice! clear,useful and concise
    1
  1671. the best. thanks for doing such a noble thing
    1
  1672. His voice reminds me a voice actor from a Fallout 1 and 2 intro movie. "War, war - never changes"
    1
  1673. Always loved the AmigaOS file structure, it was easy but still very upgradeable and everything mostly was in it's place. MS-DOS and then later Windows was easy but messy and did have problems at the multiuser part (but I guess sooo many developers and software and they wanted their own way doing things). Unix and later Linux made an effort at the start (as the AmigaOS did (although AmigaOS was not a multiuser OS, but could be pretty easily I think without breaking anything really) for a file structure that is never ending and backwards compatible.
    1
  1674.  @Doriandotslash  okay. But your video was the one I didn't know I needed but I loved it. It's like my second time switching over to Linux after a long time and I didn't know all of this ever before. Really improved my understanding of Linux. Thanks Man!
    1
  1675. That music in the beginning totally sums up my reaction to the file system of linux.
    1
  1676. I've been a Linux user for ten years, but didn't really study the directory hierarchy until viewing this video a couple of times, taking notes with a copy of the FHS-3.0 document alongside for reference. It's left me with a much better understanding of what goes where.
    1
  1677. Wonderful, great job !
    1
  1678. nice music !
    1
  1679. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH !! I finally got it

  1680. Great Video
    1
  1681. Great video, thank you.
    1
  1682. Started using Linux a month ago, this tutorial is very good. Many useful info in an easy to understand way.
    1
  1683. This is the guide I always wished for
    1
  1684. Incredible sir
    1
  1685. Thanks for the clear, informative instruction.
    1
  1686. Thank you. Im just getting started using linux abs this is very helpful.
    1
  1687. Awesome
    1
  1688. forgot about important dir /home/.ssh for ssh keys and their config connections. and thank for you brief +nix dir review!!! very useful!
    1
  1689. The top ones are kind of easy to follow, but even after using it on and off since Red Hat 6, and now for about 3 years fulltime on 2 laptops, I still am confused by shit like /usr/var, /opt, /var/sbin, all the subfolders and from what I have seen, distro's use them inconsistently which does not help. The seperate /home is rather handy imo. Under windows you can set some user folders to a seprate drive (music, videos, documents) on its own but a link will give issues. Windows should adopt it too. Easy backups as well.
    1
  1690. This was excellent!
    1
  1691. I remember going down this road 20 years ago... I'm just here for the nostalgia
    1
  1692. Thank you for helping people like me.
    1
  1693. I have trying to use linux distributions for daily usage and never understand how linux works (since 2008) and I found your channel 30 min ago, and I understand many things, and I found this video is important to start, Thanks and keep it up :)
    1
  1694. Better to watch than porn
    1
  1695. Thx
    1
  1696. This was great, a quick refresher gallop around Linux for a techie who hasn't touched it/Unix for 30 years! This is the video equivalent of 'C' - succinct, efficient and needs some familiarity to get everything out of it!
    1
  1697. macOS doing good job hiding lots of these from users
    1
  1698. Great video, very technically accurate.
    1
  1699. Thanks for the video man. Grew up on DOS and Windows and just now getting in to Linux.
    1
  1700.  @Doriandotslash  You know what I mean ;) Anyway thanks a lot for the clear and helpful video!
    1
  1701. Normally I hate when youtubers beg for likes... But this time I make an exeption. :)
    1
  1702. thank you it's more detailed than most ressources i saw . (and it's what i am looking for otherwise i wouldn't search for it at all ^^")
    1
  1703. Ta muchly.
    1
  1704. Great run-through! Seeing the installed apps, I thought I was looking at my own system at first :-)
    1
  1705. Thanks for this great explanation
    1
  1706. Very cool!!! I feel stupid, but now I feel stupid but informed, thank you for sharing this. As basic, and painful as it must have been for you, I'm so happy I found someone who realizes we have to start somewhere, and there was a time YOU, yes YOU, were a beginner too. :) Thanks again man.
    1
  1707. Nice and clear video
    1
  1708. Useful and nice video. Many thanks.
    1
  1709. If anyone of my friends ask about the linux fs, i will show them exactly this video. Thanks mate.
    1
  1710. I'm a Windows user I might not need it. But I'm also am Android user so I need it
    1
  1711. What a mess... I use l mint and when i know all is ok i use clonezilla as backup...it works!
    1
  1712. thank you brother

  1713. I'm preparing to make a major move away from windows and these videos are helping me. 1-like 1-subscribe 1-comment 🙂

  1721. Awesomely concise video. Many things make more sense now. :]
    1
  1722. Very very helpful
    1
  1723. Brilliant. Thank you very much.
    1
  1724. wow, I learned something, I remember I used to cat the files on /dev to see what happened
    1
  1725. Not even finished with the video, and this seems to be my single most valuable linux learning experience.
    1
  1726. Really cleared up a whole lot about the system, I have been using linux for years, but not really known or cared enough to learn about some extra folders. I use srv on a stick and home on a totally different harddrive mounted in that place. that way I can override any installation really quickly not a good thing to do if you switch between strange distros though.
    1
  1727. Very interesting . I took some notes with pen and paper , well I am 54 and old habits die hard.
    1
  1728. intereting topic though
    1
  1729. great video, I'm taking Linux security course and needed a fresher, thanks!
    1
  1730. Excellent presentation. Thank you.
    1
  1731. Very good explained even with my little understanding english
    1
  1732. This maybe the most important linux related video on youtube. Full stop.
    1
  1733. you do not have /var/state directory it is important in case of servers. also /dev/null is interesting worth an explanation and mail related dirs like mqueue, but great video anyway
    1
  1734. Great, thanks!
    1
  1735. thank you
    1
  1736. I’ve been a Linux user for my whole life and I don’t get the Logic behind Windows.
    1
  1737.  @Doriandotslash  I disagree with the OP pretty strongly. Anyone with a strong knowledge of Windows or computers in general and has actually played around with Linux for a session or two would find this video useful.
    1
  1738. Great video! I appreciate all your hard work because as a Windows user, I was so in the dark. Thanks for holding the flashlight.
    1
  1739. It shouldn’t really be this convoluted or variable. Good explaining though
    1
  1740. Great video, but one topic wasn't covered. If I have data files on Wimdows that I have been using for years to keep financial data, reports, etc, can they still be used in Linux? If I dual boot, can they be used by both systems? Thanks
    1
  1741. Super useful. Been trying to get into linux for a while now and always easy confused by the file structure
    1
  1742. I’m brand new to Linux and this is a big help. You have so much information to adsorb that I found myself having to rewind some parts of the video, but this is a good thing because it means you’re not wasting time talking about irrelevant and worthless information. Thanks again for you help and I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers!

  1745. Very informative video. I recently started using Linux again and this really helped. If you could tell me what theme where you using? I like it.
    1
  1746. Learning how to use Linux in my spare time. Thanks for clearing things up!
    1
  1747. Awesome video, thanks for the info
    1
  1748. wow that was alot thanks

  1749. Very useful explanation. It might be good to slow down your speed of speech a bit for non native English speakers...

  1750. Thanks sir, some more please!!!
    1
  1751. Brother, I have been wanting to be a Linux user for a while and this video just helped me on my path. Thank you.

  1752.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks Dorian I'm going to try one of those.
    1
  1753. You're a blessing to humanity!
    1
  1754. It's best video i got a clear idea of how filesystem works in general. Thank You !
    1
  1755. Wonderful overview. Your "for example" explanation for each directory was very helpful. Thanks for putting in the effort to go that extra step.
    1
  1756. Excellent video
    1
  1757. great information parabens
    1
  1758. That was the single best breakdown I’ve seen. Great work!

  1761. Thank you
    1
  1762. It is a symphony of apparent chaos
    1
  1763.  @Doriandotslash  Wow, I got to try that. Not having Adobe software really kept me from using Linux as my daily driver. ( and games also, but I don't have time for games anyway ) Great channel man.
    1
  1764. Thanks for the video.
    1
  1765. So true hahahahahh

  1766. Bless u

  1767. excellent

  1768. Просто, доступно и понятно. Пойду посмотрю другие видео по теме.
    1
  1769. Thank you
    1
  1770.  @Doriandotslash  Yes, backwards compatibility and efficiency is one of *nix's strengths. On the other hand, it might also make it lag behind the competition in other areas, which I think has been the case for a long time already. It's about much more than the file system of course, but the reason is in many cases the same. For the average user, there's little reason to choose linux, other than the price tag (zero).
    1
  1771. A great video. Certainly won't be an expert on Linux file structure simply by watching this. But, a really great overview of what goes where and why. To the casual user who will be working 100% of the time with the GUI this was probably a yawner. But for the Windows geek, wanting to learn more about Linux and its innards this is a great way to start. I am impressed, and I don't impress easily. BTW I still have MS-DOS prominently tattooed on one cheek and Win 3.1 on the other. However, my recent forays into the "OTHER WORLD" have been a revelation which I will continue to pursue.
    1
  1772. LOL. I use Linux now and although I tried to familiarize myself with the file structure before taking the plunge, I heard that psycho music many times. Great video. Tq.
    1
  1773. and then NixOS appreared and messed it up
    1
  1774. I loved this video, hurt to know that I've discovered your channel to late...
    1
  1775. Thank you very much for this interesting video! It was very helpful!

  1789. Good video :-) Ive been using linux professionally for 10 years now and wish there was content out there like this when I first started!
    1
  1790. So good explained, thank you for this video. 😀
    1
  1791. Dorian. great video. Thank You!
    1
  1792. Maybe it is not all that important in the grand scheme of the world, but I'm going to do it anyway. It is rare to find someone like you who pronounces the word 'etcetera' correctly. So many people make it sound as if it has an extra 'c' , 'k' or even an 'x' immediately after the first 'e'.
    1
  1793. Been catching up on Linux. Been a coupld years since I had a VM or baremetal server. Followed along on my Mac and it's surprisingly close considering how many decades of divergence there has been since Linux and BSD based OSX were almost identical.
    1
  1794. Good video. As someone who enjoys coding and setting up web servers I've given Linux so many chances and have never been impressed except for running a slim Minecraft server. Other than that I'll just nope out.
    1
  1795. good stuff. It was a useful guide for a mac user who has just installed Debian and KDE Plasma on an old Mac Pro.
    1
  1796. A very informative video!
    1
  1797. This is very informative. It is not that I now know all there is to know, but this is a good start. It is nice to hear that Linux / Unix is efficient. I like it when people put some effort into it.
    1
  1798. Excellent video !

  1799. 👍 for PrivateInternetAccess

  1802. What a nonsense! Youtube algorithm promoting a good educational video? I'm shocked! :D
    1
  1803. Such a great and helpful video! Thank you!
    1
  1804. I just changed from W10 to Unbuntu and will go to Manjaro (problems with installing Manjaro from W10) So this was a very helpful so i dont screw something up with copy pasting the commands in terminal : )
    1
  1805. Very useful video many likes for you man
    1
  1806. I have to admit the structure of Linux is a bit more complicated compared to Windows. In Windows, a program is installed in the Program Files, and anything specific to each user (the settings) is put into their user folder (hidden away usually). But the more you think about it, the more they seem to need to do some main tasks. Sure, Linux may be slightly more annoying about where you install a program, but user settings, dependencies/libraries, drivers, and more are all needed, you just have to get used to how Linux does it differently.
    1
  1807. Great Video! Did a very good job explaining each folder and its Windows alternative.
    1
  1808. For someone who was around before the MS-DOS abomination (and its attendant backslash) this makes SO much sense! Even CP/M followed this philosophy. But MS just HAD to be different, even though it BOUGHT the original progenitor of the PC-DOS. Sigh.
    1
  1809. Where has this video been in my life?
    1
  1810. Great video, fantastic! Very good explanation in a short of time. Thank you!!!
    1
  1811. Very nice video! PS - The girls on trampolines was a great touch!
    1
  1812. I like how Linux installations separate each part. If you're not using Snap or Flatpak, you don't get the same things installed over and over. For example, if you install Audacity and Kdenlive, you will only have 1 instance of ffmpeg on your system.
    1
  1813. I’ve been using Unix/Linux for twenty-five years and I didn’t know half of this stuff. But then, I’m not that bright.
    1
  1814. Thanks for the help! This explains a lot for me.
    1
  1815. The thing that amazes me the most about this video is hearing an american pronouncing et cetera correctly. Mad props bro.

  1830. As a Mac and jailbroken iPhone user, i always wondered what those folders meant. This video solved my curiosity. Thanks!

  1832. Nice work. Thanks/
    1
  1833. This is super usefull. I knew the basics like what mount and etc where and the user folders, but the rest was a mystery for me still. I now have a much better idea of how linux works and the logic behind it.
    1
  1834. Great video thanks. I'm going to switch to Linux soon. I just have a question since my Hard drives are split up into two partitions in the Bios as well if I would install Linux would it join them together or would I have to unite them before installing Linux. And I won't dual boot I would make ubuntu my main OS. Sorry for asking such a novice question but im just sceptical to not screw something up. Thanks in advance.
    1
  1835. Thank you good sir.
    1
  1836. Don't dismiss or ignore the historical developments of retail PC systems and hardware. I can't believe how good this video is as a background primer.

  1842. useful explain ..... Thanks

  1843. great video and I do not want to knock you as your videos are grate and inspiring young people into linux, but you need to slow down a little on your speech content so the user can follow. But great blogs very infectiousness love the fact you have got your kids involved doing the same with my teenager. keep it up thanks alot :)
    1
  1844. The same reason Intel CPUs are so popular: These companies paid PC vendors to include their own product because that's the only way you'll have a big market share with things the everyday joe doesn't understand
    1
  1845. Very interesting! Thanks for explaining
    1
  1846. Useless video. You never did tell us where to find the C: drive in Linux. I’m still searching.
    1
  1847. Thanks Captain Linux!
    1
  1848. I don't know if "crash course" is the appropriate term but I definitely use that phrase as a compliment. I love these, absolutely straight to the point, types of videos. It's videos/instruction like this that aid in my relationship to things such as linux that can seem daunting and convoluted.
    1
  1849. Thanks for Sharing 💕

  1857. "If I could offer you only one tip for the future, Linux would be it. The long term benefits of Linux have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience… I will dispense this advice now."😜 Fyi subbed 👍

  1865. Great video.

  1866. Nice job.
    1
  1867. I wish I had this video when I started years ago. I watched it to help close some of the gaps I had in understanding. Thank you for producing this!
    1
  1868. What’s the music at the end? Great video btw...
    1
  1869. I like the way you explained how the file system is organized. I have a laptop with Ubuntu linux on it and have a tower with another version of linux on it too. The laptop won't accept updates from the main server as it don't have enough space. I am going to install a new drive in the laptop with much more space and copy the OS to that drive.

  1870. Thanx!
    1
  1871. sure thing, chatbot
    1
  1872. Thanks a million dear, Great video...
    1
  1873. Thx a lot, but I think its a little hard to catch up with your speech speed...
    1
  1874. Ahhhhhh yes, I love Linux, this never gets old
    1
  1875. Excellent video!
    1
  1876. Very informative.
    1
  1877. Very helpful, thank you.
    1
  1878. Thanks!
    1
  1879. This helped me out, thanks! Great explanation.
    1
  1880. I know this is an 'old' video but anyway: Just a few days ago I've installed Linux Mint in a dual boot setting and was wondering how to best share documents and such between Mint and Windows. I found a solution (mounting at startup) that works for me just fine. And thanks to your video I now have a better understanding of why it works and how to go about things going forward. Thanks for your crystal clear explanation! :)
    1
  1881. I wonder if anyone has tried to empty the contents of the "bin" directory in an attempt to empty the trash.
    1
  1882. Very good video
    1
  1883. This video is porn for my brain.
    1
  1884. thank you!
    1
  1885. Thank you verry helpful
    1
  1886. Thank you!
    1
  1887. 0:00 "Not everybody understands what the directories are used for": Nobody understands what all the directories are used for :-) Except maybe Linus, but he doesn't count (he's a god ;-)
    1
  1888. excellent intro!!! Thanks!!!!!
    1
  1889. I just had linux a week. I need this stuff. thanks
    1
  1890. One of the most useful video on Linux! Thanks
    1
  1891. Nice find for me, I always thought Linux is that complicated but I find this familiar as I also did something like this during my DOS days where I used to do a program launcher for myself at home
    1
  1892.  @Doriandotslash  My comment was just for comment readers. Not trying to take anything away from your very nice video. :)
    1
  1893. This can be confusing, but once you get used to it and start enjoying the challenge, you don't want to use windows anymore.
    1
  1894. Awesome, thank you very much! Very useful explanation.
    1
  1895. Directories obsession is a characteristic of DOS/Windows users. In UNIX/Linux operating systems all what a user needs to know is its home folder - everything else is system owned and better be left untouched. And access rights are there to assure just that. [Assuming that we are talking about just users (that you address in your movie) and not admins and developers].
    1
  1896. So helpful thanks 😊
    1
  1897. Every once in a while I end up watching this video. Man this is gold!
    1
  1898. Well that explanes a lot... I may have been storing my programs in the wrong folders... :)
    1
  1899. This video was short and very informative. Keep posting and different video like this.
    1
  1900. Nice explanation.
    1
  1901. Thanks man everythink makes sense now i've just learned a great deal now
    1
  1902. Nice vid thanks!
    1
  1903. thanks this was very useful
    1
  1904. I didn't know you could easily just display informations about processes by using the "/proc" directory, very much likely to spill more informations than standard process viewer does. OMG, this is really great insight into the Linux file system structure and how it works.
    1
  1905. a floppy disk ? in 2018 ? you juste made my day ! otherwise, thanks a lot for sharing
    1
  1906. Nice video. Thank you
    1
  1907. nicest work!
    1
  1908. Hi friend. I wanted to thank you for your video and to let you know I have listed you in the credits on the toolset I put together for NVIDIA Shield TV Pro 2021 from all of our community's Knowledge. Thank you have a great day.
    1
  1909. thanks so much!
    1
  1910. liked your video, thanks!
    1
  1911. Thanks nice explanation
    1
  1912. Very good explanation! Very to the point, and at a perfect level.
    1
  1913. Thank you sir!! Very nice job
    1
  1914. Best description on the linux file system that I have seen thus far. Subscribed, keep up the good work.
    1
  1915. Great descriptions. The confusing part is when there is 'gray' area folder purposes..Meaning, they seem to have same purpose and hard to know when it's in one or the other. Example, ./home/.config folder for specific user settings of installed applications, VERSUS /usr/local/...
    1
  1916. From someone who has lived in Windows for his entire life, I found this very helpful. As a technical person trying to make sense of *nix systems this is the kind of introduction you want. Short, but not too short and relevant, skipping over things that are mostly historical. Thanks!
    1
  1917.  @Doriandotslash  Just found out I didn't get the job a few hours ago. lol :/ The timing of your comment is poetic :) It was my 2nd stage interview at Google of all places. Getting feedback from the recruiter later today. Video was still great though. Feel inspired to learn more.
    1
  1918. I've got a entry level Linux interview coming up. This quite helpful, thanks.
    1
  1919. A video more dope than Pablo himself!
    1
  1920. Thank You! Linux newbie
    1
  1921. I’ve been working with Linux for years. I don’t ever do system stuff but now everything makes a ton of sense. Thank you!
    1
  1922. Very informative video! Keep up the good work!. ALOHA!
    1
  1923. Very good thanks
    1
  1924. awesome video
    1
  1925. Bro, thank you! 🙏 👊
    1
  1926. The best explanation of Linux folder structure I’ve ever seen ✌🏼
    1
  1927. Like how you explain and how its easy to jump from one topic to the next.
    1
  1928. I've been using *nix for more than 5 years and a lot of this was new to me. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
    1
  1929. I've been using linux for some months and never had a clear understanding of the directories, thanks for the explanation.
    1
  1930. Bro that is some good information, it is good when switching directories to know why and what we are switching to!!!
    1
  1931. Basic information explained eloquently, thanks for your effort.
    1
  1932. I just shared this video on my Facebook and LinkedIn with the hopes it will reach some of my peer coders. Intro to Operating Systems covered the very basics of the /proc directory, as well as a few other things, but I found it lacking in the "middle level". I knew how to run apps, and I knew how to check hardware status, the FHS and in-betweens were all blurry. This would have been perfect back in 2016 when I had issues with LightDM or a couple years ago when I had to re-install all my packages multiple times to get the Mathematical Components Library working properly. Thank you! I will be watching your backup videos and some others.
    1
  1933. Ty man, keep going ...
    1
  1934. Noice.
    1
  1935. Brilliant, dude, very helpful. You can safely ignore the non-like people—they were just having bad hair lives.
    1
  1936. After watching this video I am convinced that not all heroes wear capes.
    1
  1937. good 1
    1
  1938. i enjoyed this
    1
  1939. Where is Linux installed on the hard drive? Linux: Linux is life.
    1
  1940. Great video.
    1
  1941. I'm 50 sec in, and this is HILARIOUS.... subscribed ! I love the linux file system, and appreciate smarter and less short-sighted people than me, with EXCELLENT design instincts are responsible....
    1
  1942. This is the first honest video I watch where it's shown how really ugly and complicated Linux is without all the hype.
    1
  1943. Thanks I'll be sharing this on Facebook to make me look smart 🧠
    1
  1944. Exactly what i needed 🙏
    1
  1945. thank you for this wonderful video
    1
  1946. Great presentation, great flow, very clear
    1
  1947. Linux is power.
    1
  1948. Very good video.
    1
  1949. This is the best explanation of the Linux file system I have seen. I'm not a noob, but definitely not entirely comfortable in Linux either. I learned a lot. Thank you!
    1
  1950. I have been in Linux world for a bit setting up self hosting stuff. This was great.
    1
  1951. came here not knowing a thing about linux. and i still dont know anything about linux :'( this must be how old people feel about computers
    1
  1952. Wow
    1
  1953. I've been using Linux a tad as teenager, mostly because my father suddenly had an obsession with it. Right now, I'm kinda mixing and poking in dual boot... But I have never understood the basics. Hell, I even read books that never mentioned "EVERYTHING IS A FILE" thing... For the love of jove, this makes SO MUCH FUCKING MORE SENSE now. Thank you! I know this is like the next level of stupid of me, not knowing the basics, but damn it makes sense now.
    1
  1954. Nicely explained!
    1
  1955. I actually kinda love this file system, it makes SO much sense.
    1
  1956. that music looking at directories in the root drive... is soo true!!! hahaha... where is the stuff.. I remember that..
    1
  1957. Very nice tut. Everybody should watch it!
    1
  1958. Nice! Thx.
    1
  1959. Does anyone know what distro/enviorment is he using? looks so clean!!!
    1
  1960. This whole time I was calling /etc/ by the correct name? Smug mode: active.
    1
  1961. this was educational i've just dicked around with linux learning part of this myself over time but i never had that good a grasp of it... this was helpful now i know the next time i screw around in linux again :)
    1
  1962. U'r theeeeee best ♥️♥️♥️
    1
  1963. This was actually surprisingly easy to understand
    1
  1964. Beautifully put together. Thank u so much
    1
  1965. Concise and great explanations! Thanks you much!
    1
  1966. Very clean and to the point explanation, thanks
    1
  1967. thanks!
    1
  1968. finally someone can explain it in simple terms. Thank you this help a ton.
    1
  1969. Great explanation. Very well done. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.
    1
  1970. Fantastic video, finally after many years , I find an explanation on the file hierarchy that I can understand. Magnificent job, the best tutorial on the subject,
    1
  1971. I like your contents though. You might wanna mention about man hier too which could be useful
    1
  1972. Ah, thanks! Just what I've always been looking for! Now, if the content of these folders were the same across all distros, I would be delighted!
    1
  1973. Very clean and direct explanation, perfect! Also, great song at the end, what is the name?
    1
  1974. Great overview, thanks!
    1
  1975. Brilliant tutorial
    1
  1976. No. thankyou. 😀
    1
  1977. Excellent Subscribed
    1
  1978.  @Doriandotslash  Great Video by the way...Learned more from this video than 10 years of using Linux... Thank You!
    1
  1979. The BEST File System/Structure I have ever seen or used is definitely unequivically from The Commodore AMIGA computer OS called Workbench/AmigaOS. This is why its called the "Only proper computer" Everything make absolute sence where its located and belongs.
    1
  1980. Exactly what I was looking for. An excellent video, complimented by your audience comments.
    1
  1981. You are damn good
    1
  1982. Really helpful
    1
  1983. hmm though i've still got a question, at least the video calmed the raging storm of confusion i had in my mind since morning. Thank you for the clear explanation Sir!
    1
  1984. Great video. Thank you!
    1
  1985. Thanks for your videos. That’s how I learn some Linux stuff being a 100% Windows user.
    1
  1986. Well, you put a pretty good program together with explanations. I think I’ll go to Lennox instead of windows because windows is going to hell!
    1
  1987. OMG you made it so easy to understand, thank you The home PC I used growing up had Linux Mint and 15 y.o. me brushed past all these things while using it 😅 Currently pivoting carreer, so here I am learning tech
    1
  1988. A student is as smart as the teacher, someone who makes complex things easier...
    1
  1989. Very informative.
    1
  1990. like sub comment! thx a lot
    1
  1991. Well made ! learn something ;)
    1
  1992. You know I found this to be one of the best videos to describe the mess of folders I see every time I attempt to use Linux. I honestly feel like I could never use Linux as my daily drive as I find it so difficult to do things, however maybe that is because of my age now, BUT I have never had an understanding of the file structure, thank you for that. I don't think I could switch to Linux based on how games orientated I am personally but also my daily job is IT in a Windows only environment. Regardless great vid.
    1
  1993. For a moment, I thought that temperature indicator in the upper right was for weather and thought "Where the hell do you live? Wisconsin?"
    1
  1994. Hey Man. I took Unix classes and DOS command line classes ages ago ovwr 20 yeats and needed a refresher..I've started a couple of books: crap, tried to watch several other people's videos: shit, weeded through forums and picked up a bunch of random refreshig but it just wasn't coming together until I watched your videos. So very well done Sir. Thanks!
    1
  1995. Thank you Sir
    1
  1996. a sidenote on /opt - its usually reserved for monolithic softwares. i typically install most self-built binaries to /usr/local (so its in PATH), but some non-distro managed software has a windows-style monolithic install directory will go in /opt. This is rare for personal computing, but there are some server software available where you clone the git repo without building or touching it at all to install, some of these are developed using mono/.NET and are windows-like in their installation. also, is /srv really used much anymore? apache and nginx seem to default to /var to store files that need be to served for a webserver (at least on debian). many people i know just use /mnt/* for additional storage for network served files.
    1
  1997. DorianDotSlash gonna check it, thanks 👍🏻
    1
  1998. It’s been 16 years with Linux for me now, but I still don’t know what those folders mean 😅 Thanks for explaining
    1
  1999. Gratefull for the video! Great and simple explanation!
    1
  2000. Well done! Thank you.
    1
  2001. It was informative and succinct
    1
  2002. Excellent video - Thank you
    1
  2003. A whirlwind tour - and tour de force. And no mujac background. Worthy of support. Thanks.
    1
  2004. is... is... is that photoshop on the left?! you've betrayed FOSS and the FSF you've betrayed us!
    1
  2005. Thank you!
    1
  2006. Thank you bro, very informative
    1
  2007. So strange to see /etc from a browser and not in the console.
    1
  2008. I like the way you can go to the breaks in the timeline and flick through each directory, and it has in big letters at the bottom the folder name. Very clear.
    1
  2009. Great overview video. Thank you!
    1
  2010. thanks!
    1
  2011. awesome and informative
    1
  2012. i miss cutting school and playing doom2 ipx network 4 players using DOS
    1
  2013. Very informative thank you. Liked and subscribed!
    1
  2014. thankyou
    1
  2015. Thank you.
    1
  2016. I remember my first foray into Linux was Mandrake and wondering why the directories were so very different. Now it makes sense. If anyone wants to get really familiar with Linux, work with it purely through SSH.
    1
  2017. Great video, thanks for creating it. Being mainly a windows user all my professional career, Ive dabled in linux a few times and do some basic sysadmin stuff. This certainly helped me have a better understanding of the underlying operating system and how it ties together.
    1
  2018. Wooow. This is very useful and important to peaple who is introducing to linux enviroment, like me. Thank you so much.
    1
  2019. Awsome video! Lot of my questions have been answered. Thank you very much!
    1
  2020.  @Doriandotslash  maybe I'll help you with other videos to translate, but I'm not sure. It's very hard and long and this exams now( I hate them
    1
  2021. Clear explanation, thanks and see you
    1
  2022. thanks a lot!
    1
  2023. Excellent
    1
  2024.  @Doriandotslash  as you suggested in the video, I shared this it on Facebook. I posted it to the Linux users group. It's getting >130 likes and and hearts and counting. Hopefully it will draw many more Linux users to your channel. Thanks again for contributing your knowledge!
    1
  2025. Excellent video. Thanks for posting!!
    1
  2026. Thank you man
    1
  2027. This was Excellent!!
    1
  2028. Rarely a like was as deserved as this one fine sir. This cleared things up for me that i didn't even know i was very confused about.
    1
  2029. Excellent video dude! I hope it gets a million views or more!
    1
  2030. Thanks man.. It worked..

  2031.  @Doriandotslash  You are VERY welcome!
    1
  2032. Thank you for all your effort @UCJYVW4HVrMWpUvvsjPQc8-Q! This is SO well done!!
    1
  2033. Very good explanation, Thank you!

  2034. OMG! I built computers, was a Micro Miniature Technician, studied RPG/COBOL. Dorian, you are quite simply what we call in the Navy a “Knowledge House” Subscribed “RING”

  2035. Thanks a lot! 👍
    1
  2036.  @Doriandotslash I teach 3 hours per week of "Operating Systems Laboratory" to 2nd grade high school students (it's a computer-profiled class in a vocational school). Half of it is Windows, the other half is Linux. There is also a first grade class of 2 hours per week of "Operating Systems Basics" and 3rd graders have "Network Operating Systems". Anyway, I spend two hours pausing this video, showing the directories on Ubuntu on VirtualBox and dictating some notes. The students also have their own Ubuntu VMs . Three months later they forget everything anyway.
    1
  2037. Great video man thank you for such a concise clear and easy to follow video on this. It's really great
    1
  2038. working on ansible deployment vs linuxx servers, having youtube on shuffle. idk why it pushed me here, but thanks man. i realise i know all the basics. (which is good, being linux admin main income :D :D )

  2042. This was well done

  2043. This is gourmet for a beginner. And the structuring of the video timeline is perfect.. -
    1
  2044. Super video thanks
    1
  2045. Thank you well done
    1
  2046. 00:21 LOL
    1
  2047. This is the best tutorial for Linux filesystems.
    1
  2048. 0:21 so true 😂

  2049. Really glad to have just discovered this channel. Really informative video this is.

  2050. Awesome subd

  2051. Very clean looking desktop, is it still gnome? Also great video, very useful.
    1
  2052. Super imformative
    1
  2053. kudos to your pcmanfm shoutout :-)
    1
  2054. I like Linux for its internet safety and lots of customization options. But it has problems running games. And also I'm kind of an elephant in a china shop, when it comes to computers.
    1
  2055. What
    1
  2056. Man, this is one of THE MOST USEFUL videos i have ever seen. Thank you! Cheers!
    1
  2057. Great video, I've been tinkering with Linux for years. Now something's make sense.
    1
  2058. this video would have been great for me in 2013, had to learn the hard way.
    1
  2059. For 'newbies', you went a bit fast, but for us OLD Linux users, this was a good review!
    1
  2060. My understanding of Unix and Linux is a bit like a Hologram. Every video like this makes the picture a little clearer
    1
  2061. 1:29 Wait. Linux was back from Minix, a Unix derivative. And the just / of Unix 1:49 NTFS is screaming File already exist!!!
    1
  2062. Everything is a file!
    1
  2063. Excellent video. Now only find /usr folder confusing
    1
  2064. This is excellent. Thank you!
    1
  2065. Thank you for your useful video.
    1
  2066. Oh cool.Thanks for the prompt response! Great video.
    1
  2067. Thanks, Man for clearing the confusion in my mind!
    1
  2068. Great video but your voice sounds like Google translator
    1
  2069. I saved this video to my 'Watch Later' list, since I need to review stuff like this 7 or 8 times before I can really say: "I understand." Great job.
    1
  2070. Thanks. A very useful video
    1
  2071. Useful, thanks!
    1
  2072. Very nice summary, thanks a lot!
    1
  2073. Well done. You mentioned sudo, but should have reinforced that is not available in native UNIX, or AUX, or Solaris but more of newer distros. You may cover editors like Vi, or Emacs, and the pros of using a GUI IDE. I personally use Vi, just for editing, not for development. Great video.
    1
  2074.  @Doriandotslash  I was running NT as a web server. It would crash very couple of days. A friend said to download redhat. I did download it. But I couldn't find the install.exe file. That's how new I was to Linux back then.
    1
  2075. Very Good. Where were you in the early 2000's when I was playing with Redhat 2? Great job on the video.
    1
  2076. Very useful, thank you
    1
  2077.  @Doriandotslash  you just inspired me! Keep teaching us!
    1
  2078. VERY USEFULL! Thanks a lot.

  2092.  @Doriandotslash  They do. So much info
    1
  2093.  @Doriandotslash  That's true, and a fair point. But couldn't these path names (and the commands that you mentioned) be upgraded with the times? For example, old MSDOS had it's 8.3 filename structure, but today, filenames can be 255 characters long. Likewise, as Linux has evolved from MINIX to ext, ext2, ext3, and now ext4, the file structures (and commands) could evolve as well. (Yes, I know about setting up command aliases... Maybe the same thing could be done with file and folder names, using a "human readable" name instead of /sbin/ or something along those lines.) GREAT video though. It really does a great job in explaining the fundamentals of the "directory layout" concept.

  2094. Ty awesome video <3
    1
  2095. Thank you so much! This video makes linux look a little more usable for me now that i know what these files mean. I think that all of the hidden app setting folders in the home directory should all be placed in an .appsettings folder or something like that, it would feel less messy Edit: checked out your channel, subscribed! :)
    1
  2096. You summed up Linux in 16mins
    1
  2097. This was very useful. It can be hard to make the step from casual user of linux to intermediate when you are not a programmer.

  2098. DorianDotSlash Thank you, Sir. 🙏🏼
    1
  2099. DorianDotSlash I certainly did! Very informative and well paced. Thank you.
    1
  2100. I rarely hit “like” on Youtube.
    1
  2101. DorianDotSlash yeah, a lot of less tech savvy people are missing out on a good experience when they’re never introduced to Linux. It requires a lot less maintenance and to me it just provides a better user experience. It feels good to use; it works in my favor.
    1
  2102. nice explanation!
    1
  2103. Very Informative. Liked, Shared and Subscribed 😁
    1
  2104. This was very informative. In January I decided to fully remove my windows partition and strictly use Fedora. There have been growing pains, and stuff like this is really great for people getting into Linux for the first time, or wanting to take the 100% plunge like me :P
    1
  2105. That "file" "fiLE" "FIle" example frazzle my puny windows brain
    1
  2106. Very informative!
    1
  2107. I like the way you said bash on. which sounds like something french.

  2112. Thanks.

  2113. This was great it help me learn alot... I sent this to my cousin
    1
  2114. I dug up my Raspberry Pi and started messing around with it, mounting drives and whatnot, assuming that its file structure was similar to Windows. Now I've made a mess. This video helped me understand what I did wrong, but I have no idea how to fix the maze that I made of directories that go nowhere.
    1
  2115. Yup yup highly recommended. Gets straight to the information
    1
  2116. A great refresher! Thanks.
    1
  2117. You have made it very easy to understand. Thank you for this video

  2118. Nice. Just a little too long
    1
  2119. your voice 100%

  2120. Thanks man, very clear explanation.

  2121. Thanks for this video you have a new subscriber
    1
  2122. I came here to find my windows drives
    1
  2123. I see so many great IT channels on Youtube, and never know whether they will have 5k subs or 5m subs. This guy has less than I expected.
    1
  2124. The video I never knew I needed. Thanks!
    1
  2125. You sound like someone from the radio station reading news. Good content and thanks for sharing the info.
    1
  2126. i got bored and changed my operating system to ubuntu on a whim. Was confusing but was easily picked up as i thrown myself into the deepend and HAD to after wiping my hard drive. It's complicated at a glance but I can promise you with the right mindset it is very easy to pick up !!!!
    1
  2127. Very very helpful video, thank you :)
    1
  2128. .exe are for windows, use your package manager ! Probably synaptic if you're on an ubuntu based distro, otherwise search the internet for your distro's package manager ! It's like a store from which you download trusted programs in a few seconds along with all their dependencies
    1
  2129. Studying for my LInux+, this video helped me immensely.
    1
  2130. BIG thanks.
    1
  2131. This is a great video, however a lot of items you spoke about are unique to Debian/Ubuntu.
    1
  2132. That was a lot of information sir., Thank you
    1
  2133. I like it thank you.
    1
  2134. Tech savvy user will have no problem with Linux but regular users might need getting used to it.
    1
  2135.  @Doriandotslash  maybe the fact that its text based scares people. I dont ask because of what you did on the video (excellent explanation btw). I ask because I read tons of comments of people complaining about the terminal! I might be weird but I literally see no difference between just using ls on a directory and navigating using the file manager.
    1
  2136. Great work!
    1
  2137. I've been using different flavors of Linux for about 10 years and have loved it, but i honestly haven't understood the file structure completely beyond some inferences i've made over the years. This made so much sense, thanks for your explanation and time put into this.
    1
  2138. Thanks for this

  2155. Excellent
    1
  2156. Excellent. I had a sort of elementary understanding of the file structure in Linux and a little bit of it made sense when I went snooping around. This video gives me a deeper understanding of the Linux file structure. Thanks for this video.
    1
  2157. This video got you a new sub.
    1
  2158. Thanks for the information . Being a Linux newbie this video will be very helpful for my future reference on Linux things .
    1
  2159. Wow the /dev and the /proc directories sound amazing. I'm definitely going to play with those files hehehe
    1
  2160. OMG I was working in the /bin on a server and I was trying to delete this one stupid program. Instead, I mistakenly wiped the entire folder with rm *. Worst day ever.
    1
  2161. This guy loves file systems so much he put a "/" in the title
    1
  2162. Which GUI is that ? It looks really cool, how do i get the same design ?
    1
  2163. Valuable information. Thanks for the Valuable information. Tha
    1
  2164. As a general rule I stay away from file system!

  2165. Thank you sir

  2189. Awesome

  2190. Then you go to school write this down on an exam and you get bad marks because "It's not exactly what says on the book". But it is correct. Well maybe but we have to evaluate based on what's on the book.
    1
  2191. this video is the mother of all gnu-linux videos :- B
    1
  2192. +Ryan Johnson I honestly don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be. I feel like you're just being picky - including the 'e' in 'tmp' is unlikely to make anyone's lives any more pleasant. Also, like @DorianDotSlash said, *nix is very old now. I doubt developers were referring to each other as 'devs' nearly half a century ago. Just out of curiosity, what made you click this video if you can't stand the file structure in Linux? And it's not like Windows is much better... At least in Linux you have some idea of what each system-related file even is. Also why on earth is YouTube now inserting two line breaks in comments when I only input one? Keep needing to edit out the additional ones...
    1
  2193. Thanks. Great Video. Helpful
    1
  2194. Thank you. This was extremely clear.

  2195. Nice video, Dorian.
    1
  2196. Thank you!
    1
  2197. Thank you. I've used linux for a while now and since your video has appeared on my feed a lot, I decided to watch. Not feeling regret, I think I gained a lot more than I first anticipated so I owe you my gratitude.
    1
  2198. Thank you, well made.
    1
  2199. Great explanation! This is very helpful to me (though I still think the filesystem structure is an unholy mess :) ) It would be fun to see a video about the gobolinux filesystem structure and how it compares to this.

    1
  2217. A lot of this stuff exists in the Mac, but it’s hidden away from the average user ever seeing it. It’s for developers and administrators only.
    1
  2218. Outstanding explanation of Linux file structure. I often forget what is where so I wind up clicking this folder, that folder, and so on. I suppose if I weren't so impatient and just gave it some thought... I'd save time in the long run.
    1
  2219.  @Doriandotslash  i have used Linux in several bursts on and off of a period of several years... been using Linux now as my main operating system for over a half year now... never got into the whole file system thing... this has surely helped me understanding it better..... a big big big thank you to you and i take my hat off for you.... the fact that devices are kept in/on a file blew my mind :-)
    1
  2220. very informative! thank you!
    1
  2221. I just got a new 500 gig SSD and installed Ubuntu on it. I need to learn ruby and know about the file system too. Great video.

  2226. very useful thanks. replace 4 apps with its flat version and limited permissions.
    1
  2227. using Endless Os. all on my system is flatpaks and the whole Os is built on Os tree..... it is cool, secure and just works!!!!
    1
  2228. Flatpack helped me in installing Discord's Emojis. The official version had black and white emojis. That means I had to search for different fonts. Some fonts were conflicting with each other. And some fonts were outdated. Most of them were in the AUR and I dont want to use some random AUR just for fonts. Flatpack Fixed it. Anyways is there a way to see what dependencies flatpack installed?? That way i can find out what fonts it used to show the emojis and can use the official version in the future?

  2229. Hadn't realized that the new baby was your first one. That's special being a new father! Cool man. Glad to hear things worked out with your wife, as well (you had mentioned some possible complications last comment I left ya). And with the new position at the job, things are really going good for you. Gonna be awesome having the new hardware for testing and showing on the channel. I think you get more positive results if you test on hardware. That's the route I always go anyways, if I'm testing a distro. You got a lot a new and important things going in your life. Take care of yourself and the family. Don't fret too much over posting videos. We ain't gonna go nowhere;) Thanks for the update, Dorian!

  2235. Hi Dorian./, Congratulations to you and your wife/partner/S.O. on the birth of your Son, you must be a proud Dad! I was 29 y.o. when my Son squawked his first and all of a sudden that was nearly 34 years ago, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! B-) Well done on the recycled machine, it looks more than usable Reusable/recycled PC parts are not easy for me to come by as they have usually 'hit the bin' before I find out about them or are REALLY outdated machines. For now I am sticking with my dear old Dell mini 9 (a new battery for it is on my Christmas wish list) despite the enforced demise of most mainstream 32 bit O.S. versions, good old MX/antix keeps it going. However, I might try Void Linux on there before inevitably reverting back to MX! A little off topic here I know but as I/we are talking of lightweight machines what is you experience of tiling managers, DWM looks ok but I have not used a tiling manager for any great period of time.
    1
  2236. Congratulations on the healthy baby !!
    1
  2237. CONGRATULATIONS for being father!!! GOD bless your child!!! ❤❤❤
    1
  2238. Cheers again :D
    1
  2239. You might give a try on MX Linux too :)
    1
  2240.  @Doriandotslash  I'm also using Void lol..So Artix and Void but I really want to build my own Arch systemd free desktop..Void is all over YouTube so I had to try and I do like it..But I don't think I could use it on a daily basis..I remember doing a LFS install and nearly throwing my computer out the window..Eventually after 4 attempts it was on my PC it lasted 30 minutes..I'll never do that again..I'm glad to see you back..I'll be talking about systemd this Wednesday if Steve goes ahead with the stream :-)
    1
  2241. I wish you both well..I have some news..I've dropped systemd but still running Arch and OMG is it fast..no more stop jobs no more start jobs it boots like it was running from RAM..I am now systemd free
    1
  2242. Congrats with the birth of your son. And of course best wishes to your wife/partner.

  2243. Major congratulations! Baby boys are the best. (I'm sure baby girls are amazing too).
    1
  2244.  @Doriandotslash  I don't have much stuff on the laptop right now, but I'll make a backup of my stuff on a couple of flash drives before upgrading.
    1
  2245. I was a bit worried about the memory bugs in 18.04 (even though I have 4 gb) and the laptop battery improvements were a key feature for me. I know some people always say to wait on 20.04 but I don't have any patience to stick with Windows 10 till 20.04.
    1
  2246. I bought a new laptop (it's a Compaq) and installed Ubuntu 18.10 on it. Runs pretty fluidly, if I might say. I'm waiting for 19.04 now.
    1
  2247. Will you do more Linux distros from scratch videos?
    1
  2248. O and being a father too. Congratulations!
    1
  2249. I guess if it's what you really like to do, it doesn't matter as much;)
    1
  2250. Hello DDS! Once you're done with Void have a look at Obarun to try yet another init system: s6 Cheers
    1
  2251. I am going to devour that video!!!! Is there any chance you could do the install with FVWM? I heard it was once unusable on void but it is now from what I've seen. Very new to linux. Void with XFCE is the first distro I got to work but I don't like it and am not versed with the knowledge of switching DEs and WMs since it's my first distro/linux install. Thanks for posting this video it really is awesome to see some Void Linux content!
    1
  2252. Okay take care;)
    1
  2253. Congrats on the new job.
    1
  2254.  @Doriandotslash  that sounds great. I'm gonna test it on a VM. By the way, could you check out manjaro 18.0 release candidate? They just released it, and Ubuntu released their 18.10 RC too. Thanks.
    1
  2255.  @Doriandotslash  thank you!
    1
  2256.  @Doriandotslash I just did a google reverse image search and found it, thanks!

  2257. Hi Dorian ./ Intresting video, but I am still not a Gnome advocate, sorry. However I have to say that I loved the "outro" music, very 8 bit game style!! :-)
    1
  2258. Thanks - I literally just installed Virtualbox on Mint 18.3 from the repo (kernel 4.13.0.36-generic) and tried running a Win 10 VM that I had setup a while ago and it kept crashing the machine, requiring a reboot. I thought it was just that VM but apparently not.
    1
  2259. I tried to follow your instructions but add xfce instead of cinnamon but got way in over my head and decided to copy your method line by line and it worked great! I noticed one thing that was different from the Wiki in the hostname file and was wondering if it would have an effect on the line: 127.0.1.1 myhostname.localdomain myhostname instead of "localdomain" you put "localhost", would that effect you when you try to run servers?
    1
  2260. Great video Dorian, Thanks!!
    1
  2261. I recently found your channel, good stuff, I am maybe no bloody linux beginner anymore but I still encounter new stuff everyday and I certainly would not be able to explain and guide through everything as you do. Very enjoyable to watch. :) I used Archbang before and afterwards I switched to Manjaro i3wm, so definitely not afraid of Arch anymore, I would be more afraid of Gentoo ;) especially stage 1.
    1
  2262.  @Doriandotslash  thats a lot of updates for a short time span, thanks for the information! I will attempt this updates
    1
  2263. I tried an Arch install the other day but it would not allow my partitioning because those areas were populated by my old operating system. After viewing this video I realize I needed to delete the original partitions first. I think I'll give it another go. I am so glad this video showed up in my list of suggestions.
    1
  2264. "no efi" Challenge level down... Just kidding. Anyways, I hope you make a video about installing wine on arch cus pacman's pretty clueless with it. And how to improve surf browser cus that's the only web browser I'm lucky installing it smh EDIT: "no wifi" another challenge level down hahaha! Arch was harder to install becoz them providers didn't included wpa supplicant(though it was included in networkmanager), dialog, especially actiond along pacstrap so I had a bunch of headache installing my arch with just a wifi.
    1
  2265. Thank you, Dorian! My first Arch install was successful because of your video. I must mention that I watched a few videos before yours and couldn't make sense of what is happening. The purpose of my install was to learn and I learned a lot from you (the way you have explained Things) Thanks Once again. Cheers!🙌✌️
    1
  2266. Only BIOS... works for me! I also want to install it on an old ass laptop
    1
  2267. N00Bz shudnt use Arch, goto Manjaro

  2268. Thank you, Dorian.

  2270. Hi Dorian i've really been enjoying your videos and learning a lot, too. I was attracted to the minimal installation based on Ubuntu and Openbox and worked through your example. On a 32-bit Ubuntu 16. The resulting RAM requirement was about 120MB at idle. I thought that was pretty good, until I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GojRNIliZnc This is a minimal Arch Lxde 32-bit install with much lower RAM requirements. Your comments would be appreciated on the difference between the two minimal installs (Ubuntu Openbox and Arch Linux Lxde) and what the advantages / drawbacks might be of the two approaches. In particular, I also need to get a Thinkpad 240x up and going in under 192mb, like the video in the link. Once again, great work and deserves to be much higher views (and surely will one day).
    1
  2271.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks.
    1
  2272.  @Doriandotslash  I figured it out...basically the wiki got changed and i did not know. All Is good now i got basic arch installed. It was easy once you knew that the kernel does not come with the base install. or a text editor..nothing pacman -S can't fix i always do mbr cause im used to it
    1
  2273. You're a brave man Dorian;) And wellcome back. I've missed your voice. Did not do Arch. To difficult. Peppermint is so much easier and quicker to install.
    1
  2274.  @Doriandotslash  AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! IT'S THE UEFI BOOGIEMAN COMING TO GET MY INSTALLATION
    1
  2275. This video was scarier than the Japanese 'The Grudge' haha
    1
  2276. Oh yeah. You install that Arch.
    1
  2277. Welcome back. Nice video
    1
  2278.  @Doriandotslash  I'm kidding of course. In all seriousness though Arch probably isn't for someone new linux, unless they really want to get immersed right from the start.
    1
  2279. Great tutorial. Long time Linux and Debian user but true enough, arch is different. I always try to do it on a new device in a vm first and arch is kicking my butt. I’ve tried refind is my boot mgr and it hangs. I try grub and it dumps me to the grub> prompt. Is there a good resource for vmware 15 folks that works with efi? Again, great video and I actually liked when things didn’t work so I could see your processes.to fix. Thanks!

  2280. Welcome back!
    1
  2281. so good to see you got new content
    1
  2282.  @Doriandotslash  Yh, true. After using linux for 6 months, I decided to take the plunge into Arch. Did 3 or 4 installs within one week to finally get it working. First two installs were basically to figure things out, but afterwards, I could do the install more proficiently, fully tuning the system to my liking. It truly gets easier with time. :D
    1
  2283. hello dorian we miss u
    1
  2284. Yeah?....well Arch scares me more than that clown from "IT"!......all those commands and packages.....LoL! No desktop...no icons.....like WTH!!??.....CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TURN ON ALL THE LIGHTS!?.....LOL!!!

  2286.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks
    1
  2287. Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to switch from Kubuntu to Arch, but then I prefer the secure operating system.
    1
  2288. I.ve tried many distros... Debian just works
    1
  2289. Thanks for the update Bro....!!!
    1
  2290. I use Arch, BTW. P. S. Actually I use Void with musl on encrypted compressed ZFS root partition nowadays
    1
  2291. I've been running Arch for a year now and I run updates on every boot Only problems I get are from AUR packages and occasional (once in a month or two) manual intervention which is just checking the Arch wiki for the files that need to be overwritten (btw, it takes some balls to use Gnome on Arch)
    1
  2292. same... i am using flatpaks and backports for newer versions of the software and using kernel 5.9 from backports.
    1
  2293. This made me realize that Debian is the right choice for me. I'm too old to constantly fix stuff and would like to spend as little time on my computer as possible.
    1
  2294. Yes yes yes glad ur back big man 🇺🇸😎👏🏾
    1
  2295.  @Doriandotslash  Very true, just giving a suggestion if you want to keep things relatively stable still. On the other hand, living with older software is fine for 99.99% of use cases. In my case I really want the latest and greatest gaming drivers, and I would really like to keep up to speed on FreeCAD. Other than that, I have no problems using older software.
    1
  2296.  @Doriandotslash  ooooooo thank you for letting me know sir ill go take a look at them

  2297.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you!

  2299. Cool Thanks!

  2300. debian supremacy
    1
  2301. I’ve always had issues with Debian and Arch. Debian I’d get the issue that Apt get is not available, this command is not available, tried arch but it got in a installation loop and wouldn’t boot. I heard about ArcoLinux, they make Arch pretty easy.
    1
  2302. Subscribed! 🙌🏼

  2303. good choice :)

  2304. DorianDotSlash - thanks a lot for the prompt reply and for the very interesting account of your experience transitioning from Arch to Debian. Pop OS so far has been great, feature rich and stable, but not necessarily all the things they added or options they choose are a good fit for me. It works not as good on my desktop as it does on my notebook. I’ll try Debian with backports to see whether I can reach that nirvana of rock solid stability with useful features. Stay safe!
    1
  2305. cool video and cool wallpapers
    1
  2306.  @Doriandotslash  I honestly think LM should just stick with LMDE and ditch the ubuntu based version..
    1
  2307. Wow, imagine you can just switch distros instead of being stuck on one OS.
    1
  2308. Hi everyone. My name is ... And I can’t stop updating.
    1
  2309.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks, my bad I didn't notice it
    1
  2310. I use debian unstable for over a year now i did have few isues but fixed it fast
    1
  2311. I had debian on laptop for 2 years and didnt use it not once and it boots up and update it with no problem i like debian alot i hate my windows 10 turn on my pc login to windows 10 and waiting for ower 10min to login
    1
  2312. I think Fedora is a good balance beetween rolling release and stable.
    1
  2313.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you very much for answering. I really like how clean you screen looks in this video.
    1
  2314.  @Doriandotslash  I'll have to check out the backports video because I never heard of them. :) I'm at the moment using Mint Mate because my computer is older (going to build another one soon) and it seems to work best with my hardware.
    1
  2315. I format my Ubuntu machine for Debian after using Ubuntu for 6 months and I don't care if it's hard to set up ( I couldn't get internet with the insallation image and had to move over files without internet to get it to work and took me about 5 tries to install BUT I LOVE MY CUSTOM GOLDEN CINNAMON THEME I COULDN'T GET TO WORK IN UBUNTU AND ALL THESE LINUX AND WINDOWS APPS (UNDER WINE) THAT JUST WOULDN'T WORK IN UBUNTU FOR SOME REASON . (have gotten past a FreeBSD install desktop environment included but didn't like that)
    1
  2316. In my humble opinion, i think arch is more customizable since you are basically making your own OS in arch so you can customize it to your liking, debian is still very customizable but overall, in my opinion, arch is better.
    1
  2317. that internet speed sounds like venezuela
    1
  2318. Thanks for sharing. I've been saying the same about having a piece of mind when using Linux. Sometimes the fan boys miss this key point. Instant Sub!!
    1
  2319. Welcome to debian family!
    1
  2320. I myself have been on Debian for almost 15 years. I run Debian Sid. If you never run 'apt dist-upgrade', you never have any issues.
    1
  2321.  @Doriandotslash  Will do, sorry I didn't notice
    1
  2322. I'm a simple man; I hear someone's a fellow Canadian, I hit like.
    1
  2323. Using Debian since I have known Linux 13 Years ago, I would never change!
    1
  2324. I used to use Debian for everything since I switched from Slackware around ‘99 but now i use xubuntu as it has a slightly more frequent/flexible release schedule.
    1
  2325. I've been using Debian for long on my PC... but I have Arch on my (very)old laptop. I like both, but that's true... sometimes (specially with this pandemics 24/7 at home...) I just turn on the laptop because it's been a few weeks and I know it will have a few hundred MBs of updates or even GBandsomething... I also remember once I was 3 months away from computers and I was FREAKING SCARY looking the update going... 🤣🤣🤣. Thank God it didn't went wrong... but (both) my Debian PC (and my raspberry without a reboot those 3 months) had only a couple of packages to update, super quick, easy and fear-free. But TBO, sometimes I hate compiling some new software I want to try... then dependencies problems... so I turn on the arch laptop... EASILY test it... and if I like it, I may end up fighting to get it on the Debian PC... Truth is, most of the time I just don't really need it and ends up also uninstalled from the laptop... And thats another good point: I waste SO LESS time on Debian not trying stupid things that I don't need... that I would usually lie myself about on arch and tinker instead of actually working 🤣🤣
    1
  2326. My regular distro is Ubuntu. I have been using it for more than 10 years since I switched from the MacOS and it has never let me down. I did put Arch on my Dell xps laptop. I didn't use it much, but I wanted to learn how to install it and keep it up to date. I kept it for a year, and I never had an update go bad during that time. Nevertheless, as DorianDotSlash noted, rolling releases can go bad from time to time and may need intervention to fix. I didn't want that, so I'm sticking with Ubuntu.
    1
  2327. I'm very new to the Linux world about to convert my Laptop over to Ubuntu or Debian I've not decided yet. This was a great video with a lot of information especially for a newbie.
    1
  2328. Yeah, weak/slow connections are terrible with software like vanilla pacman. If you are open to suggestions, maybe with Powerpill which uses aria2 to download would get you settled. And of course, if you take a while to update on arch, it's always good refresh the mirrorlist with Reflector, which will get the best, fastest, closest mirrors at the time for the system, you decide which priorities to regenerate the mirrorlist, it's highly configurable. It becomes doable in such slow internet connections, when you are in a pinch.

  2333. Please review BLANKON indonesia distro ^,^

  2334. Hi Dorian./, Keep up the good work and you will soon hit the magic 1k sub's. I am looking forward to the expanded how to to make your own custom desktop vid's. I tried to follow your original vid's using 32 bit Stretch antiX core rather than Ubuntu 'mini iso' and failed at every hurdle. If I had any hair left I ould have pulled it out lol. It's painful to find out that one is not a competent as one assumes! There is (currently) a 32 bit Ubuntu 'mini iso' so I plan to follow your new vid's with that as a base, that should work; please tell me it should work lol!
    1
  2335. Big thanks for what your doing. As a Linux semi noob what i am looking for is not just the how to customise the disto i'm using, but the cli commands to quickly do things. Went through many google result pages (Unity Tweak Tool * 500 videos - real annoying) until i found DorianDotSlash. Yes... real customisation. If you want to fly past the 1000 subscribers mark then do a vlog series on things like gsettings / gnome-shell --version & all the other obscure commands WE are having a hard time finding. Yes I know your busy - heath probs etc. Just a possibility to add to your list :) Oh and for the first time ever ..... subscribed. Just saw in this video that you are puzzled by high views but low subscribe rate. Personally i dont live online, i uninstalled Windows 10 (back when it was still a give-away & went back to Win 7 because i was expected to go online to play a game of solitare. Yep crazy reason. Then spent several months researching Linux distros ( on Ubuntu 16.04 - for now). People like me wont subscribe (often) because every time we hit our mail box its cluttered with notifications - more time wasted..... Thanks. Looking forward to finding what the mystery prize is once 1000 subs arrives.

  2336. Very good audio, man. And overall presentation is pretty decent.
    1
  2337. Hope you get to 1k! Also, one thing that turns people off of channels is echo. Just a suggestion, but people would consider your videos slightly higher quality if you maybe put some blankets around you, or any sound-killing substance. Then again, it isnt really necessary, and it is a small fix.
    1
  2338. Running Manjaro on mine - that headphone jack + inbuilt speaker issue is a real annoyance - the only one that is a real gripe.. could not charge while running via USB-C
    1
  2339. Waiting for new ver of Pinebook that can handle min 1440p youtube, netflix, prime with no artifacts and main issue screen tearing. Overall its very good option.
    1
  2340. Netflix sucks. I got rid of it a few months ago, didn't regret it for a second.
    1
  2341. It might be 500 mb of downloads, but that doesn't mean it uses that much space after installing.
    1
  2342. I've had a lot of Pine and or Rockchip devices from sbc's to their previous Pinebook model. I think I'll pick up one of these. I've had favorable results with development of Android game emulation on the various Pine devices. Could you show some game emulation with Manjaro or whatever iso you choose?
    1
  2343. This is really cool and I am sure it will have it's market. For me, I think about the form factor along with what I can do with it. Because this is the size of a traditional laptop, I have to side with a traditional laptop for my use case. There are thin and lite that fit m personal use case for this, but kudos to the Pine team for this device. The privacy features are a nice touch as well. I heard there was a waiting list for these devices so maybe they are selling well !
    1
  2344. I guess I will wait for the next version of hardware. I have a Lenovo laptop dual boot Windows 10 and Linux for now. I hope the next version of Pinebook will have improvement over the internal storage and video.
    1
  2345. Hope all is well and you are keeping safe Dorian.
    1
  2346. The amazing thing about linux is that every app is open source so every app can be compiled to run on arm
    1
  2347. Pinebook pro reminds me of Librem from purism
    1
  2348. Thanks for doing this. I tend to run Linux (Manjaro) and my computer is on its last leg. I thought of ordering one of these but was spooked by the warning on the website that it's not suitable as a main productivity device. Your review helped me to realize that I could probably have made it work but it would have been a lot of compromise to do so so I'm happy that I passed on it, though I'll keep an eye on these in the future!
    1
  2349.  @Doriandotslash  Maybe you can join Euro BDLL this saturday.
    1
  2350. Why not if it's my first linux device? What's the better option?
    1
  2351. Keep me informed so far I think Raspberry is getting kicked to the curb. If the Pine Book runs Kali Linux in a stable fashion it's a done Deal. I'll stay tuned.
    1
  2352. Another USB port would've better than that type C port tbh.
    1
  2353. @DDS No, you have more options with Calculate. If you want to install Calculate Linux on 50 machines in an enterprise Calculate can handle that scenario from their servers. The flavours you'll find are: Cinnamon, KDE, LXQt, Mate and XFCE. Don't forget to choose the latest one: https://mirror.koddos.net/calculate-linux/nightly/ and click on the folder with the most recent date! They have their own installer so you might watch some videos. Adrien, the French dev of Calculate, has done several videos about it: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjAHiXDnp3JkzislArFnMRCVEMDSUa5Xb Or dzme in English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6hcAncYnYY&index=58&list=PLChx-GmI-Z515wAhyiF49Sdf2Vl4ept1B&t=0s If you have any problem just contact me!

  2358. Thanks for this great video i'm setting a dual boot with popos and parrotos and this video comes very handy to me

  2359.  @Doriandotslash  Oh wow, that sounds kinda crazy (saying that as a lifetime Windows user), sounds almost like the Wild West. But I image that's also part of the charm, the freedom I mean.

  2360. Thanks for this video sir I seriously learnt alot from this video. Especially i leart to use grub in a proper way

  2376. Awemose. I had installed this extension and now I can feel a great speed of the desktops efects, Now I'm going to watch your next video that it looks great for to improve the battery life of my laptop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku0491LfhR4 Thanks again!!! You know that I want to k now !!!
    1
  2377. Everything works perfectly -> thanks for this awesome video!! *UBUNTU 18.04 NVIDIA -> [GeForce 940MX] . By the way I feel a little bit heavy (slower) the system animations such as: 'press win button and show all open aplications'. Maybe its only my idea . But this information it's amazing because I had searching a lot without any good results. One year ago when I was still using ubuntu 16.04 .
    1
  2378. it works for gtx 1050 thanks
    1
  2379. The PlayOnLinux list is comprehensive, I'll give it a shot ... I actually found it once before but thought it was just an extra/redundant bloat app, lol. I hardly game much anymore anyhow. Just keeping on top of ways to reduce/remove WinOS dependency as much as possible. Thanx :)
    1
  2380. Yeah I just saw that video and checked my system...ugh. I may do the same tomorrow.
    1
  2381. Worked great! I just switched from Solus to Ubuntu because of your video.

  2384. This is a good tutorial. I like your new intrio, quick but nice.
    1
  2385. Thank You! I just installed Mint on an Asus laptop with MX150. Was getting horrible battery life. So far "prime-select" command is easy and fast as I usually reboot when I dock or undock.
    1
  2386. Thanks, it's a good tutorial. Now I'm working well!!!
    1
  2387. Very good guide to fix the nvidia issue when outputting a movie via VLC. Before doing this tricks and tips my video was wrongly displayed, like losing fps during the play. I used the last part: modeset.conf because only installing the driver from software & updates wasn't enough. GG man
    1
  2388. DorianDotSlash Thanks, that's the command that was causing the conflict. I gave up on uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers after a couple of times and reinstalled the whole system instead but this time through architect and without selecting any drivers. Then I booted into console using your acpi trick (because it hanged) and installed the drivers with exactly the first command and it worked! So thank you for solving my problem, I am now configuring Manjaro to my liking, it looks awesome and I love it so far!
    1
  2389. Dude thank you so much, fix my screen tearing perfectly. I tried bumblebee and ended up freezing my laptop upon logging in. found your vid, and would rather do this any day. I'm plugged in like 90% of the time anyway. This is what is really shit about linux though. When do you think switchable graphic will be supported out of the box like windows? I've tried pop_os and manjaro, but windows still do switchable graphics on laptops so much better. Its a real shame because linux destroys windows in most/all other areas
    1
  2390. Much appreciated!

  2393. Thank you, Dorian!

  2394. It is indeed. I have an active thread on askubuntu but I'm not desperate over this. I'm usually patient with this kind of stuff. I'm using a GeForce GT 650M. I have to say that your video helped me fixing a graphics trouble I was getting playing Insurgency on Steam. Thanks once again.
    1
  2395. Great tutorial! I was using bumblebee previously on 16.04 and it was ok. Some perfomance issues and battery drainage comparing to (long gone now) W10. On 18.04 I tried bumblebee but soon turned back since one of my two external displays was killed. Ubuntu 18.04 is pretty new yet. I've come across some nasty bugs. One of those (which I havent solved yet) is a lag on X server when my wireless keyboard is plugged. For instance, when I use volume up/down hotkeys it takes a good amount of ms to take effect. Go figure...

  2397. DorianDotSlash I only found out recently 😂 Been using OBS

  2398. If I didn't need my macbook pro for iOS Development, I'd 100% have a Dell XPS 13 running Linux as my daily laptop. Maybe I'll just get a Mac mini and use that as my development computer?

  2399. And not for nothing?....but I have a friend who bought an iMac....and after like a year?...it was slow as hell. It now runs Linux Mint....and.....it.....FLIES!!!.....LoL!

  2400. Macs have NEVER been "Top Of The Line" hardware!.....they've been fleecing the masses for YEARS.....getting them to believe they're paying top dollar for hardware that's top notch, when in all reality?....their products are mediocre and bland. I guess some people just can't be moved when it comes to supporting them. But I've never been a fan of their OS....nor their hardware (like really?...the Apple folks are SUCH control freaks that they can't use a NORMAL "Ctrl" button?....they had to create one?..called "Control"?) so no....this company will never see a dime of my money. But its ok....there are more than enough "sheeple" out there to keep Tim Cook and the rest of the Apple Sauce Gang" in business for years to come! LoL!

  2403. I am a huge fan of this concept. My Dell Latitude came with Ubuntu pre-installed like the XPS system do, if something goes wrong, you can easily roll back to the pre-installed system. I know this is a little different, but it's the same idea really. Virtually similar to that of Windows recovery back in the day, only with all the extra crap.
    1
  2404. Just had a quick install and run with Fedora 31 silverblue not sure I am getting the idea of the benefits v the slow clunky installs and lack of knowing what the hell its doing when you are on the software page and it just goes blank doing something. I guess it might be me not being use to it, although it does seem slower than all the other Distros I have tried. I like the idea of a quick jump back for a complete fix if something is not working, however timeshift does enough to get me running again with lower overheads and hassle. Great reviews and tips though hope you do many more :-)

  2405.  @Doriandotslash  Hi,thanks for the response! Ok downloading it now then!

  2406.  @Doriandotslash  Ah alright, thanks for the clarification!

  2407. Fedora Silverblue 30 could be the future? Funny, the future is always just out of reach.

  2411.  @Doriandotslash  Ryzen is what I'm looking at for the fall. First and probably only ground up build I'll do. Newegg just had an insane deal on a 2700x mobo combo, but the budget gods didn't so much as clear their throats, so I keep planning on the components and hoping for sales. :)
    1
  2412.  @Doriandotslash  Check this out: I'm running an HP-Compaq 8000 SFF with the Core2 duo 3.06. There's an eBay deal on the top Intel chip the mainboard supports, which would make using VB tolerable. Or I budget for a build in autumn. I hear GPU's will become cheaper.

  2414. People do the same with GNU. It even uses a Gnu as the mascot, which is pronounced Nu, but I hear it all the time "Guh-Nu". It seems to be a recent thing, past 5ish years or so, because I've been using Linux off and on since 1998/1999 and I don't ever remember hearing the hard Gs other than with GIMP and GTK. Gnome was always Nome, GNU was always Nu, etc. I also refuse to call them "G-IFs". It's pronounced Jif. It always has been. The original creator has stated it on several occasions, even within the last few years. For 2+ decades I called them Jifs, no one asked what I was talking about. I called them Jifs when I first saw them in the late '80s, not because of anything I'd heard (actually never heard the "choosy developers choose GIF" phrase until maybe 2000/2001) but just by reading the file extension Jee Eye Eff, sounds like Jif, same way JPG sounds like Jay Peg when you spell it out phonetically. I suppose this is my "get off my lawn" moment.

  2415. Sound a bit of what Solaris did with ZFS.

  2416.  @Doriandotslash  Hopefully I can sort this out I am sure I will be supporting it eventually. : )

  2417. "it's downloading something" (gulp)... I'm on prepaid and my pi only have 16gb emmc so.... Pass \_(o____O)_/ thanks for the heads up nonetheless kudos to your fine review. As for your old rig. I would keep it as a test rig if I were you coz it makes the viewers who have a decade-old rigs see the actual performance of these os', thus, avoiding pitfalls so keep it maestro

  2418. Tnx for a great video, really shows what Silverblue is and how to use it.

  2420. Good video

  2421. You apologized for using older hardware for your test rig... but I think it's awesome that you are using a Q8400 Core Quad. Shows what can be done with older hardware using current, even cutting edge, operating systems.

  2427. Nothing is secure, specially our prized personal information and data. Anyone needing to secure these prized possessions simply needs to disconnect from all networks. That's the future! Best wishes and regards!

  2428. Feels like people really need to know NixOS

  2429.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you for considering my request. 👍🏻

  2430. He did an excellent job explaining. If u ever wonder why this is important, try upgrading windows often. Eventually, u will have a disaster where you have to reinstall windows and lose all your files unless you extremely experienced. Or try installing Nvidia cuda on fedora. With the packages fighting each other, it's often easier to just reinstall fedora than trying to fix it. In theory this just let's you simply go back to when everything is working.
    1
  2431. If you didn’t specifically grab the silver blue version, it’s not that.
    1
  2432. Thanks for the great video and for your work! Fedora Linux definitely is the future 😎👍
    1
  2433. great vid and gives lot of insight into fedora silverblue
    1
  2434. Thanks Dorian, nice presentation!
    1
  2435. Thanks for the great walk through! I was able to easily install it in a VM and follow along as I was watching your video. I didn't like its GUI desktop as well as several other distributions (Linux Mint, Raspberry PI Debian, CENTOS, Zorin OS, or even Haiku - to name a few) because of how applications weren't as accessible, and you had to dig down with multiple mouse clicks over and over again to find what you wanted. I think if I really wanted to replace my Windows desktop, I'd probably go with one of these other OS distributions instead... Still cool stuff with the flatpaks and toolboxes though! Subscribing - keep up the good work!
    1
  2436. You can also install Toolbox in normal Fedora Workstation with sudo dnf install toolbox
    1
  2437. It's like puppy linux! :D
    1
  2438. The concept is pretty cool (a lot like how Docker containers are structured); however, one of the many reasons I got away from Windows is having to reboot after any update. Seems this new methodology will take that back to that direction... ugh!
    1
  2439. A nice vid. I'd like to point out how well it's actually done. Lovely voiceover as well. Wonder what happens when you do a ostree install xyz .. and a new official image comes out. Does it apply your changes over it - kinda like git rebase? Also .. let's say you'd install vagrant and virtual box from a flatpak. What happens to the virtual machines - specifically the write permissions?
    1
  2440. Looks like it outshines NixOS
    1
  2441. video was great, not at all too long, looking forward to more. the intro was too long tho.
    1
  2442. Bom tutorial, Fedora Rocks... :)
    1
  2443. This looks awesome. I gotta check this out.
    1
  2444. Great to see you are back
    1
  2445. thanks!
    1
  2446. First off... wow! I wasn't expecting a reply in 30 minutes!!! I tried the host key + F2 and it worked and put it into full screen. Unfortunately, Firefox, Terminal, etc. no longer work. I'll try to figure out how to update my packages and be sure I'm on the most recent version of VirtualBox. Even w/ it not working right now, this has still been a phenomenal learning exercise. I'm planning on having my son do this tutorial as there is something about going from nothing, to a command line, to a GUI w/ a black screen, to watching something come out of nothing. Thanks for the tutorial and for your quick reply.
    1
  2447. Really enjoyed this and the previous video. Just followed your instructions (at least I think I did) but after installing VirtualBox Guest Additions, I was unable to go full screen. I restarted it in VirtualBox and received the following error on the desktop when it booted: "VBoxClient: Failed to execute xrandr utility." I'm not sure what I did wrong? Maybe it's using a newer version of Guest Additions than when you made this video?? Any help is appreciated. I don't absolutely NEED to have full screen but it would be nice. BTW, this was done on a MacBook if that matters.
    1
  2448. I see, I just installed a fresh manjaro on my laptop today though with optimus, had no issues at all, except that vulkan doesn't work but there's a workaround for it. Anyhow, my point was kinda that you don't seem like a new user getting your feet wet lol, so you should be going to these sites.
    1
  2449.  @Doriandotslash  Also U can refer to arch wiki whenever u want to something unconventional. The only that ticks me off is the vanilla manjaro gnome skin , it looks so off and weird and wallpapers are so lame. But yeah anyways ❤❤❤ Manjaro
    1
  2450. Yup. Even my only reasons to switch from Ubuntu to Manjaro was bumblebee and the rolling release thing. It's been like 6-8 months and this thing is stable as fuck.
    1
  2451. Looks great, but xrdp wasn't available. A good boutique would also be a better user experience.
    1
  2452. I have a 12 month old Ryzen system and a brand new Intel system, so I've kind of always needed kernel 4.12 and above, even the new Intel system is better at 4.14 and over. I tried Q4OS (3.3) as well and had lots of similar dramas I must admit, but yeah, I'm sure I will try Debian again sometime lol. Probably never pure Debian... but one of the many variants.
    1
  2453. great distro but with Nvidia driver it's no good i try optirun and primusrun from terminal and work but with inxi -G say who haven't nvidia driver ... LOL
    1
  2454. Saw the thing about Steam. I'll have to download Manjaro and give it a try. I moved my desktop to Antergos and I've been very happy. My laptop did not like it with the 960M I have in it. Between Lutris and Steam Play I've pretty much have abandoned my Windows partition (thankfully).
    1
  2455.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks Dorian! I went through your vids, but didn't pick that up from the title :) I'm a Windows user, but Linux has been calling me for a long time! Deepin feels familiar and I like the look, but gnome seems more customisable and its one of the official versions.
    1
  2456. I've only ever used Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu and Mint, but I have to say I find the Arch user repository very compelling. I'm used to using Ubuntu PPAs on Mint, but having to search out specific PPAs for different software can be a bit of a pain. So the AUR sounds like a much better solution. I'm not sold on rolling releases yet, and at present I don't feel the need to change distributions, but having watched several videos lately about Manjaro I am definitely curious.
    1
  2457.  @Doriandotslash  ah, okay, good to know :)
    1
  2458. Hey! Binging on your videos! Great work, like! ^_^ Can you give a link to read\watch upon the ubuntu data collection? :)
    1
  2459. I am not a power user. I don't really use the computer for much more than the internet, some office stuff etc. I am an example of that rare bird, the average computer user who happens to use Linux not Windows or Mac. In a previous life a long time back I worked in IT and was with the UNIX team and grew to dislike Windows. But that said I don't class myself as even intermediate user now, but I do have more insight than most. TBH with all that is going on plus this CoC I am wondering whether I should jump ship altogether. I joked in another comment that I am dreading Apple releasing a new Mac Mini this fall as it might prompt me to jump ship altogether. ;)
    1
  2460. I am not paying attention about Ubuntu. I downloaded Brave yesterday and found out I had a 'snap' package. And then I downloaded Opera and found out I had another. Snap this, snap that. I don' t like it.
    1
  2461. I have noticed that snaps load slower if at all on the Ubuntu. The install I was just using refused to load Brave or Firefox (about to install manjaro kde or gnome). I can see why Manjaro has crept up to number 1 on distrowatch.
    1
  2462. Thank u for sharing🕵️‍♀️
    1
  2463. Yes he does Dorian. Check out BigDaddyLinuxLive if you can. He does every saturday night at 10:30pm est. Great show you really enjoy it.
    1
  2464. You can switch back to KDE 5.16 Notifications shouldn't mess with screen recording anymore
    1
  2465. I'll have to give that a try, thanks
    1
  2466. I have a bit of a love hate with Manjaro. Lately issues with the newest Wine installing mdac28. Also i still have to use acpi_osi to get my intel-nvidia working, otherwise my Asus laptop doesn't even boot up. It only causes some issues when shutting off. On the fence of getting openSuse instead.
    1
  2467. It did not work in Kde Neon, so I installed Manjaro Kde and it works without problems. Thank You!!
    1
  2468. Just different flavors, but I usually copy the 20-debian.list file to 21-debian-contrib.list and 22-debian-non-free.list and adjust accordingly. That makes it easier to change later. Easier to remove or add a file then to edit the file. AND it is much easier to restore if there are a error in what is edited. If you want to make this automatically, just use sed(1) and substitute main with contrib, and store in 20-debian-contrib.list etc. It might look more of a trouble, but trust me. After running Debian since 2001, I found that must easier to use.
    1
  2469.  @Doriandotslash  WOW ... thanks for this really fast reply (y) apparently in gimp 2.10 you can set it to 'try' to use a gpu (setting in system resources) , didn't sound very promising and what I learn from your hands on experience confirms my suspicion... so for now, CPU power and RAM seem more important to me ! thanks again, for aiming my € in the right direction !!!
    1
  2470. I chanced across this video and i am not sure how relevant this is anymore. System76 has a good power utility to activate hybrid graphics and i have been using that for my graphics needs. i just wanted to share a pretty good utility to watch your nvidia gpu and find which apps are using it. use the command "watch -n 1 nvidia-smi". honestly a lifesaver in trouble shooting
    1
  2471. I can confirm KDE and XFCE, so I don't see why cinnamon wouldn't work.
    1
  2472. Yeah you're totally right, Bumblebee can still be a better solution for some people. And I also hope NVIDIA will provide a better implementation of Optimus in the near future. ^_^
    1
  2473. I see. I think I'll be stuck on prime-select then since I'm sort of in a situation where I have to use Ubuntu. Thank you very much again for your replies! Please continue making these kinds of contents. I'm not really totally familiar with Ubuntu or Linux in genral but based on what I understand about snappy, I think snappy is nice. But I'm still just a noob in this field and I also read/watched other people's opinion about not liking ubuntu using snappy. So I think a good start to further understand snappy is to watch your video about "de-snapping" and its pros & cons 😀
    1
  2474. Will this work on Deepin since its a debian-based distro? Has anyone tried it? Nice contents by the way. Your Linux Power Management video was really helpful.
    1
  2475. I hope you do and congratulations I wish you and your partner all the best..I know you both will have your hands full..All my love to you both :-)
    1
  2476. Dorian I hope you don't mind but I gave you a shout out last Wednesday on a hangout..Actually it would be great if you could join..So EB (English Bob) Zebedee Boss and myself with people joining from the States and UK..Last week we had Derek from DistroTube..Anyway great channel

  2477. You objectively are a literally saint person. Two cups of tea to you!

  2478. DorianDotSlash Will do for sure!

  2479. DorianDotSlash I'm still watching your videos right now , you are awesome.
    1
  2480. Would Silverblue work within a VM, or does it require any special access to hardware to function properly? I'm running Qubes so am interested to try this out as a template, but not sure if I'll encounter any weird issues trying to run it in that environment. As a side note, you're one of my favourite Linux channels so I'd love to see/hear your thoughts and experiences with Qubes OS, if you've used it.
    1
  2481. DorianDotSlash Thanks for your help.
    1
  2482. I have been trying to install SB but I keep getting the "oops something went wrong" page. Still trying to figure it out, would really like to give SB a go. Thanks for the videos. Excellent work.
    1
  2483. why in the world are mere seconds matter when you're talking about reboot times ? Anything under 20 seconds is glorious. Your video was a good explanation of features. - even if it was a teensie bit esoteric. Most people are concerned with 1) Does it work well 2) Is it stable and durable 3) Will it self destruct after complete or partial upgrades 4) Is it suitable for the average user or only the super skillful Linux Professional ....
    1
  2484. You are a very sophisticated user as evidenced by your video.

  2485. I’d like that, too!

  2488.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you for replying btw, I am on F30 workstation but have been slowly transitioning to using flatpaks more. I've been using flatpaks on/off since F27 with varying degree of success, more recently with better choice in software I have increased usage of flatpaks. My gripes are with Steam & emulators, have the issue with navigating out of the flatpak and into a different partition. kdenlive and Shotcut has been a pain since i have ffmpeg and other binaries compiled to expose nvenc. this was a COMPLETE failure. sorry for the long reply & thanks
    1
  2489. Yup. Nice call. Going after the Silverblue iso now. You've got an LVM partition here. Do you have a good way to do iso backups of LVM? Thanks. -Jake
    1
  2490. Thanks it worked
    1
  2491. I've used most major distro types: Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, Suse, Slackware but never a redhat spin.. The changes in silverblue definitely excite me. Being a developer i can tell the changes are complicated :) so i think i'm going to wait a few versions and let all the bugs get worked out before i use it on a production machine. The only difficult thing for me would not having access to the AUR. I love arch....
    1
  2492. Sounds like very stable and robust system. :D
    1
  2493. Cool wallpaper! Could you share a link if it's free to use somewhere? Nice video as well!
    1
  2494. Thanks for tips /boot/efi partition flag ESP
    1
  2495. You make great videos. I'd like to see what your using to edit them "wait, you're editing the video that your making now?" And the nvidia vs Intel at the same time was crazy!
    1
  2496. coming from windows, i wasn't sure why you made such a big fuss about having to reboot so many times. windows update has ruined me.
    1
  2497. Compare it with NixOS and make review.
    1
  2498.  @Doriandotslash  So to recap... Silverblue is now living in the penthouse suite (Prime Real Estate) and Window s has been evicted and kick to the curb like a bum.... Sounds like a good week. Have fun at the wedding!
    1
  2499. I can't wait! Keep 'em coming. Silverblue is such a cool project and so interesting. Thanks for helping me wrap my head around it. But take your time. No rush. As you said.. It's summer. Enjoy it.
    1
  2500. Fantastic Video! Really made me have second thoughts about budgie on solus and I'm now installing a vm to tinker before I make my final decision next summer on which distro I use
    1
  2501. Haven't read the whole thread myself, but to install different DEs, one could eventually make use of different ostree images (e.g. kinote is the one with plasma desktop): https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/kinoite-a-kde-and-now-xfce-version-of-fedora-silverblue/147/18

  2506. Great video! This gave an error with me, boot.loader.grub.efiInstallAsRemovable = true Made it false and it runs fine now. Debian 10 XFCE and Nixos with I3 and xfce. boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables and boot.loader.grub.efiInstallAsRemovable somehow? can't be both true. Thanx

  2507. Really want more NixOS videos XD
    1
  2508. Thx mate. Good stuff.
    1
  2509. Is there a video that shows how to distro hop correctly? I want to try multiple distros, but I'm confused how to do that without losing everything.

  2510. really nice, thank you :)

  2511. Thank you for sharing.

  2512. Thank you for the info. I think i'm ready to make the switch from Windows 10. I've got all my data backup and now waiting for my new SSD to arrive in mail.

  2518. Awesome video... btw what theme you are using? Ubuntu community theme?
    1
  2519. Excellent video! Has anyone experienced freezing during normal use? Everything’s gets slower very very quickly and then freezes and have to do reisub. Nvidia 1050ti on both 390 and nouveau and Ubuntu 18.04 amd64

  2520. SIr you are a ledgend
    1
  2521. Hey guys! If none of the acpi options work and you have a Nvidia card, then add "nomodeset" (without the quotes) after "$vt_handoff".
    1
  2522. Thanks for great explanation
    1
  2523. 7:02 I had this issue on my Ubuntu 20.04, I updated my bios then this issue has gone
    1
  2524. DorianDotSlash Yes, it's ironic that the only time I remember a boot up snag was with FreeBSD. To rectify I had to enter something like no-mode-set in the startup configuration settings.(I know I'm not using the correct terms) If only there were dedicated hardware manufacturers that would tailor the architecture to work seamlessly with Linux or BSD variants, then, I feel, the user would have more of a confident and gratifying experience overall. Unfortunately, I hate to say it, but large distros might have to start charging a small reasonable fee to in turn, possibly contract with willing hardware manufacturers to solidify a cohesive experience...once and for all. Umm...no easy task. In the mean time. Please keep filling the gap. Thanks again.
    1
  2525.  @Doriandotslash  this is great to know. Thank you really. I ended up deleting everything because I thought I screwed everything up lol. Fresh install of Win10 and restored MBR. Now I've installed openSUSE Tumbleweed and find it to be easier to work with and looks stable. I've also partitioned some space for Ubuntu and will try that again. Although I might get VMware Workstation Pro to just host everything there. It's just too damn expensive and can't use the Player version because it's not easy for GNS3 for networking labs. So far openSUSE looks great to me. I believe I might have messed up last month because I thought Kali Linux would be a good start. But I found out it's only good for penetration tester's and vulnerable to be used for a primary Distro. So I deleted it and since then my laptop was acting up. At least this gives me practice to learn how to install distros 😂
    1
  2526. Just found your channel and like it. I just started using Ubuntu 18.04 and keep having a problem that's not in the manual. If it is, I'm overlooking something. So when I logout and shutdown Ubuntu, I see the black screen, I believe you call it Grub2, and all of a sudden I see a bunch of broken script all over the screen. Goes by fast and then shuts down. Has this happened to you before? It's Dual boot for Win10.
    1
  2527. Really love your explanation process can u point a long time sudo coder to the best video explaining everything there is to kno about the full Linux stack as I would love to grow to a power user and one day developer contributor thanks
    1
  2528. Yeah yeah, if you say so :P !! BTW, in time, I wanna watch your tutorials on setting up XBOX Wired/Wireless pads. I better help out!
    1
  2529. Well said Dorian. Read the fecking manual;)
    1
  2530. Billy just needs to catch a bus. (The bus is Windows).
    1
  2531. after watching the video to the end... yes i found a lot myself by using google. yes i use the $man ** and red it but sometimes i was just lost. i started with mint but switched to ubuntu coz the support was very different. yes also on the ubuntu sites u have some very "friendly" people but most of them showed me support by just giving me a link or even walk me step by step throw it. i started with win95 to win10. now i already like ubuntu more after just some month. mainly because i'm more in charge of it. but it's sometimes still hard for me. i needed maybe 4 days to find out how to make a keyless ssh connection. but i did it. on my own :D
    1
  2532. thumbs up after 6 seconds. happened to me to often. YES, i know google but when u r not sure what to search for google can't really help u !
    1
  2533. Nice words and I remember the hate from arch linux forums but to be fair best documentation period
    1
  2534. - Why? - 1) RT*M yes always Read first, cause the solve is already there 2) Seeking help in the Wiki/Forums 3) Looking for YT vid tuts 4) We're always here to help w/o spending single penny and scamming &5) DON'T BEING LAZY SLACKER
    1
  2535. That being said MX is the KING of all Debian based distros out there ;)
    1
  2536.  @Doriandotslash  Agreed, reading the documentation is a prime choice, the problem at my stage is sometimes I don't know "what" I'm looking for, just what I want to do. When Google fails I can ask a question somewhere where another human can interpret what it is I'm looking for and point me in the right direction. My process is manpage, archwiki, Google, youtube, forums
    1
  2537. DorianDotSlash  still it's cool to see, you dont hear about fedora as much vs arch, ubuntu, and manjaro is all
    1
  2538. <3
    1
  2539. Interesting alternative to KdeNeon, because with the last update my notebook is fatal, and is a good excuse to try Bumblebee :P Thanks

  2540.  @Doriandotslash  i fixed it thanks for the quick reply :)
    1
  2541. These are really great informations .
    1
  2542. An old i5 an 4gb of RAM is enough to comfortably use Manjaro gnome.
    1
  2543. great this weekend i'll prove it i hope will work :)
    1
  2544. yeah... archman or manjaro... its good linux both
    1
  2545. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I guess I got lucky in some ways that I got it working on my laptop that's a few years old in Windows 8.1 or 8.2 – I forget which offhand. The last time I booted up that drive and after some updates it no longer seemed to connect though, unfortunately. Have been enjoying it on my Android devices to put stuff on the big screen via a Netgear PTV3000, like the PBS Kids shows my daughter watches and some presentations and such. I'll keep an eye out. Cheers.
    1
  2546. DorianDotSlash  with all my respects i dont like KDE , the DE i like to use are by order xfce, gnome, cinnamon, unity . xfce with mint is super but i found that xfce with manjaro not so cool . i will stick with manjaro gnome, hope the random freezes wont affect my coding stuff . thank you very much mr Dorian ^^
    1
  2547.  @Doriandotslash  awesome will do thanks!
    1
  2548.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks Anyways! :)
    1
  2549. Very VERY big thanks for this video. My Optimus nightmare with a Thinkpad W540 seems to be over after far too many hours of trial and error. It's safe to say that i have tried everything. Your advise is the first one that really works on this quirky "portable workstation". I have succeded with shutting down the Quadro with every other solution out there, but everytime, whatever i tried, it would break something else or the whole system. Pop_OS! did a good job, but i can't stand Gnome, and Pop_OS! was too unstable even before installing another DE. And before anyone says "why not just install "system76-power in another distro"? Well, i have tried. It's a pain. And in latest Manjaro, it's even available in the AUR. But it breaks the rest of PM and hangs the whole system at shutdown or resume. Again. You have made me extremly happy Dorian. A thousand hugs for that one. if you go to Sweden, you know where to get free beer!
    1
  2550.  @Doriandotslash  thanks. I didn't need to do any GRUB changes on my Xubuntu install. After install, I just went to additional drivers, enabled the latest stable proprietary ones, hit apply and it worked straight away. I'll be doing some testing in VB before hand along with a few other OS's but Manjaro looks and sounds really awesome 👍 :-)
    1
  2551. Previously founf manjaro XFCE quite good. Recent release V18 clean install has been a disaster and waste of time. nothing worked as it should.
    1
  2552. DorianDotSlash You’re welcome. I look forward to seeing the format you develop 👍
    1
  2553. Yeah, you don't really need to go through software, as there are other channels for that. I'd rather see what's different about each distro, compared to something else!
    1
  2554. Try removing the install media that was used to install Manjaro
    1
  2555. your video is not the best out here, but ohhh boy! I finally understood a lot of the details, editing with nano was one of them. Others even thou they speak clear they do it so fast and assume we all know what to do when they omit little details to be flashy, those little details are the make it or break it. I know the video is old but still thanks for the explanation. Clear and to the point
    1
  2556. After you have customize linux to your OS how to get it to copy it to other system without doing the customization again on a next system?
    1
  2557. Thanks Dorian

  2561. Thank you,it's particularly annoying when my laptop falls asleep on its own,such as when burning a CD or DVD or extracting video off of a DVD
    1
  2562. Pleasure is mine :)
    1
  2563. Very detailed review DDS, cheers! At least a cool Debian based distro :)
    1
  2564. Well, it definitely works with my Xfce! No doubt the others will also work :)
    1
  2565. Even though I'm definitely a newbie, I've had some experience with both. I tend to prefer Pamac to Octopi as a general rule because it makes the AUR easier to access when you have to use it, but I install lots of other distros to 'play' with as well. And, historically, I've found things like Wine don't always install properly through package managers so I use the WineHQ terminal method. Also simple things like numlockx and neofetch can be easily done in terminal. And I like Opera, and install the snap version through terminal because you can't break snaps lol. The Arch commands though are just 'different' and being able to use simple commands like 'install and remove' will be nice lol.
    1
  2566. Actually have Manjaro Xfce on my laptop, and two other drives with Manjaro KDE and Manjaro Gnome. The KDE only has Octopi though... I suppose I'd need to install Pamac as well.
    1
  2567. Thanks. I found that i am already running this release by checking with screenfetch. i don't have the update yet for the manjaro hello option but the pamac options are available
    1
  2568. I am looking forward to these updates. It looks like to me that they are going in a direction where newbies like myself are going to be able to find programs that we want or need to use much easier to find and more in line with other distros with a package store front gui. This is a plus in my book. Pamac terminal commands are really nice and that may help some of the newer users that move over after this is finally released with delving into the terminal. Yes it may not be the arch way but it is a way to bring more ppl into the fold in light of the fiasco with the latest windows 10 update. Do you have any info on when this will be pushed out for updating already running systems? I just recently moved back to manjaro as my daily driver thanks to the new steam play release with proton being able to play all my games with only a few minor tweaks.
    1
  2569.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks! I can use QJack fine now and hooking up a MiDi keyboard is relatively easy to do now but it is way too complicated for an average user - on top of that, there's very little documentation! I really wish these features could just be built into Linux so I could just plug it in and use it!
    1
  2570.  @Doriandotslash  that's awesome, I'm gonna test it out, because there was just beta5. Waiting for your video.
    1
  2571. Very similar to arcolinux. Works great for me. Xfce.
    1
  2572. Regarding the Social Media accounts in the Settings: I know people on Linux are generally suspicious about online social accounts being always connected but personally I have the Google account set up in the Settings. The calendar thingy in the top bar pulls all the Google Calendar stuff that I keep and shows notifications like upcoming appointments, tasks and birthdays. This way I don't need to open a browser or Evolution, I'll just click on the date and quickly see what's up the next days. Really handy.
    1
  2573. DorianDotSlash No it’s not distro related.. just the Tweaks app. I’ve seen this happen also in one of the videos of InfinitelyGalactic’s video about Gnome recently.
    1
  2574. This is manjaro right? Vanilla gnome doesn’t work right. The tweaks is broken... if you minimise it and then reopen, it will open in a small window. That’s irritating all the time. KDE with all those bugs > Gnome 3
    1
  2575. Before this video, I just couldn't get keen on Gnome. Although a bunch of extensions don't work, most of the really cool one's you've shown do. Thanks for another really coot tutorial.
    1
  2576. great video, youtube lacks this kind of videos about DEs. Usually, YouTubers making videos about some updates of DE, not a complete review, like you did, so thank you!
    1
  2577. Ubuntu doesn't have Gnome Tweak application by default, so you have to install it manually.
    1
  2578. Haha, thanks man! :) Got a bit of a fright! Appreciate it!
    1
  2579. G-knowme
    1
  2580. One of the biggest things that made me fall in love with Gnome 3/Shell is the power of extensions. They make it completely modular. You can literally make your Gnome desktop into whatever you desire. One extra kickass extension not mentioned in the vid is Drop Down Terminal. Extremely useful for those quick commands. I do actually make use of Workspaces. I have my mail client permanently maximised on a separate workspace. If I ever play around in a VM I also set that up fullscreen in its own workspace.
    1
  2581. Yes, but they work really closely with the Gnome team. I do hope they 'fix' this. Budgie was one of my favourite DE. I enjoyed Nemo from my time on Mint, so that could be a way to go.
    1
  2582. I was about to test Manjaro Gnome, and then, BOOM! No more desktop icons. That's a no go for me. They could have a default of no icons, sure, fine. But REMOVE the option to have desktop icons? That the hell were they thinking? Gnome gnome gnome.... (KDE has the Desktop and the Folder View)
    1
  2583. Yeah, I was also an alt-tabber myself haha. Windows really blocked me for a long time, but I started to notice that using a taskbar I was constantly clicking the wrong app or kept searching for the damn icon. And when I alt-tabbed, if I miss, well... gonna have to cicle through the alt-tab again. The overview in GNOME was just a keypress away and it always display the window content, I don't remember ever missing those hahaha, really got spoiled. Thanks for the video!
    1
  2584. I used a gnome desktop in a vm. But I might end up switching to Linux earlier than I planned due to Microsoft warning people and the fact I have to pay for something I can do on Linux for free.
    1
  2585. It also uses all my RAM. I agree. Desktop icons are evil (I'm a Cinnamon guy, BTW)
    1
  2586. Yep, imo it looks modern and neat, though i can see your point as there are no colors in the breeze theme
    1
  2587. got it, disable title bar at firefox>open menu>customize
    1
  2588. I like this video. I may give Gnome another try. I haven't used it on a daily driver in a long time. This was a great tutorial on using Gnome.
    1
  2589. Nice update. Glad you are feeling better. Nothing worse than being run down and miserable. Will check out your newness tomorrow.
    1
  2590. You inspired me to make my own linux distro, even though i already made one XD
    1
  2591. deepin
    1
  2592. i wanted to move away from windows for a wile. after searching for a nice, macos-like desktop that is stable, has a top menu and can do some nice macos-like animations like that magic lamp effect, i now installed linux mint cinnamon
    1
  2593. Really like the way you try to explain this. Linux is a bit of a shock to the system for most windows crossovers. New to linux myself, spent a month looking and distro hopping. Learnt a lot, but was frustrating too. Some Linux users are a little special sometimes. Coming from having used dos through to win 10, linux does feel a little janky at times, getting things how you want, although sometimes more customisable than windows, its not always easy or straight forward (careful of misinformation.). Anyone out there looking for the perfect distro, forget it, its not going to happen, find one that you can customize to your taste imo. I found that so far in endeavorOS (KDE), pamac-all package gui, and added chaotic repos (from garuda OS). So far very happy. I highly recommend. Others distros to note, Manjaro (nice all round package, stable, with a slower type rolling release, but limited on own repos). Garuda (similar to manjaro, but uses arch repos + their own AUR chaotic, a unique take on memory usage and insistent on the use of brtfs with snapshot recovery, use of zen kernel as default and have some lovely utils for tweaking the system) and then there is Mint, the cinnamon creators, probably the best debian/ubuntu based distro IMO and cinnamon is a very nice DE (although some what limited). Only 1 I say to avoid, Ubuntu gamepak, its a lie, not even really ubuntu, its shady, bloated and not trust worthy and has not benefit over regular Ubuntu (they just trying to sell their "Crossover" proprietary crap that you eventually have to pay for).
    1
  2594. Thanks a lot for your response, that helped a lot, I guess I am stuck with Ubuntu due to the community support and convenience of pre-compiled packages.
    1
  2595. I like Mint
    1
  2596. Xfce Whisker menu and searching apps works :)
    1
  2597. I’m scrolling through your videos. I’ve distro hopped a lot 3 years ago. I tried all those you mentioned. I miss Antergos. I was happy using that but then it got outdated.
    1
  2598. don't give up on this channel, its set to explode with subs. one tip though: add some more emotion to your voiceover and boost the volume of your voiceover.
    1
  2599. Weird that you have less subscribers than Chris Titus Tech. You explain and show the screen with clarity and he just talks. I really wonder why IT yt watchers like this kind of content. Maybe its more podcast like so you can listen to it while you do something else or it is more entertaining to see a face ?
    1
  2600. Manjaro Gnome <33 Played with other stuff but nothing is quite the same. The way I have it set up is just about perfect for me.
    1
  2601. Your videos are high quality. Please keep making them.

  2602. very well made video, thanks for the tips !!

  2606. Thanks man but I had to speed ya up to 1.5x
    1
  2607. Thank you for your clear explanation! You do a good job! (Ray, 20+ years experience with Linux)
    1
  2608. A substantial channel you have, Dorian. My only wish is that you'd be making your videos more often.
    1
  2609. People often don't familiarize themselves enough with one D. E. or a distro to only jump to another. But for the reason of being kind of "shallow" in it, they are not being familiar with its particular bells, whistles, and goodies. Sometimes there are tweaks and options exist which would change their minds about a particular distro - they just overlook them.
    1
  2610. Were you running Loki for a while? You seem like you have a pretty good knowledge of elementaryos. Hyped for Juno! Anyways, keep it up Dorian!
    1
  2611. Taking a big risk with the wife. Good Luck
    1
  2612. This is good content
    1
  2613. Thank you DorianDotDash. I thought Elementary OS used there own Pantheon login manager but its just a theme of there's for lightdm. I didn't know it was lightdm that's awesome. Thanks for the video i cannot wait for this to come :D
    1
  2614. Install it on her computer while she sleeps! Its for her own good! Cortana is not your friend!
    1
  2615. Agreed. They could have said could you remove the word beta please?
    1
  2616. Looks nice, but I don' t like docks or planks.
    1
  2617. Elementary OS is not my most favourite but theShell I like more. Its by Victor Tran. But should you really start her off with that. Try getting her to try out linux and help find out which one is best for her. I helped my mum find out she liked Ubuntu and Zorin OS but I use ubuntu Budgie or theShell
    1
  2618. Very nicely explained. Thanks.
    1
  2619. I looked around and it seems that I don't have much data. Just a background pic that's around 740 KB. It may just be that I've bombarded my distro with packages. Never the less, there are other ways to create a live image which I'm planning to do w/ my new Arch Openbox distribution (I'm sure that most of your tutorial, "#2 Create a Barebones Linux Desktop GUI without a Display Manager (Even lighter!)" is still applicable) and maybe my old Custom Ubuntu.

  2621. i love it. thanks
    1
  2622.  @Doriandotslash  For example, Hypnotix on LinuxMint as guest doesnt play video and sound synchronized, or the basic font is somehow blurry on Ubuntu-guest...Maybe it's my HW-configuration... But, otherwise it is good for experimenting.
    1
  2623. Thanks, very nice video! On my Linux-Mint the virt-manager is also in Synaptic. Performance is not so good like in VirtualBox or VMware, but its good enough to try out some things...
    1
  2624. I did it! thanks to You Thanks

  2625.  @Doriandotslash  i see. i'm willing to wait until you get a chance to check your machne. thank you :)

  2626. Very enlightful, Thanks!

  2633. Worked just fine and dandy for me! thxs. hardware: HP Pavillion 13, 8g ram, Intel Core i3-8145U dual core 4 threads, Host Linux Mint 20.3 and Kernel 5.4.0-94-generic

  2637. Thank You!

  2638. So beautifully explained! And I used the word beautifully instead of clear because not only it makes it crystal clear but it does it in a way which makes you appreciate the beauty of the LVM feature! Thank you for this lesson, it is so much clearer what LVM is.
    1
  2639. Thanks so much for this easy to follow tutorial. I knew how to extend on the server side but couldn’t figure out how to get it to work on the desktop side. Confirmed this works on Linux Mint 22 cinnamon ver. 6.2.9 Kernel 6.8.0-41-generic. I’m sure there is an easier solution but for the new Linux user this is great.
    1
  2640. Awesome video and thanks for the cheat sheets! This solved a problem that I have, but was unsure how to express as a question without looking like an idiot. Thank you! 🤩 BTW, I got here through the Linux Mint Resources Telegram.
    1
  2641. Great explanation, thanks!
    1
  2642. Excellent explanation. The visual illustrations also extremely helpful on understanding LVM. Thank you so much Dorian!

  2646. that would be interesting to see that 1week update video if you came around to do that :)
    1
  2647. Thank you so much.
    1
  2648.  @Doriandotslash  Might as well. :)
    1
  2649. That's funny, Rufus is creating a thumb drive with PopOs right now. I have been doing a lot of distro hopping trying to find something that will run somewhat stable on my terrible Ryzen 2200G :-(
    1
  2650. I tried Manjaro and the printer issues I had I gave up on it. Also I need some software they dont have in their library and couldnt get them installed there but worked fine in Ubuntu(KUbuntu).
    1
  2651. I used to use PopOS!, but there are some problems that they have created in the distro when they changed/added things. For one more Games using the new Steam Play fail when trying to use them. On the plus side PopOS! installs on everything I have thrown at it, even my Micro$oft Surface Pro 3. Where as Ubuntu or other distros failed writing the EFI info and I had to manually do that step. If PopOS! had a server version with the non-free drivers and stuff able to install then you could install whatever desktop you wanted I might go back. Until then I will just use KUBUNTU. I tried a bunch of other distros and they all had something that made me not like it.
    1
  2652.  @Doriandotslash  That’s why I had the “echo” in there. It’s a good way to test the logic before actually turning it loose.

  2653. Thanks for the video.
    1
  2654. Thank you
    1
  2655.  @Doriandotslash  I actually feel weird installing not through terminal because I think their could be issues when installing with a GUI package managers. They also say this at the Arch Wiki.
    1
  2656. Hi DorianDotSlash, came across your video from a google plus share from Karl Schneider, nice watch! I've just subscribed.
    1
  2657. Alright, 3 in a row simple and useful videos. Subscribed and gonna have long journey with your channel. Thanks for all the effort.
    1
  2658.  @Doriandotslash  Noticed that more than once. FWIW, I installed i3 in Mint following Erik Dubois' tutorial. Very slick.

  2659. This was great!

  2660. Like and comment

  2661. Flatpaks are an interesting idea, but for something like Visual Studio Code it's useless. You have to install node IN the flatpak to make it useful. It's amazing to me it's not IN their flatpak. Fedora by default was pushing me toward a flatpak for VS CODE (Been distro hopping a bit lately LOL) and it took me an hour to figure out why the VS code shell couldn't see NPM or Node. Very frustrating. Microsoft does have a repository for many distros on their website and that is the way to go. Stay away from Flatpaks for VS Code. That's also what I did for Open SUSE Tumbleweed which I'm currently running.
    1
  2662.  @Doriandotslash  Almost everything I see says Ubuntu supports it when Mint doesn't. I read online Ubuntu is best supported. I think I will switch. Thank you for the info!
    1
  2663. Thank you so much, I'm new to Linux (Ubuntu) and I was trying to install software in linux the windows way
    1
  2664. Thanks very professional at to the point you make a complicated matter simple and thank you again sincerely

  2665. .0005 seconds into the video "well.... ive made a mistake already"

  2666. this should be the first video every new linux user watches
    1
  2667. Time the one thing you can never have enough off;)
    1
  2668. Hi Dorian, The quality of your videos reflect the effort you put into producing them. Personally I do not care for background music, for me the entertainment lays in the video content. It seems I cannot even watch the made up TV "news" without there being some background "musac" to add "quality" to the dross we are fed by the global media companies, but hey I'm just an old wrinkly B-) Regardless of that, please keep your videos coming.
    1
  2669. First Oh and the outro could be a pre-rendered mp4

  2670. Thank you for the hard work mate and good luck :-)

  2671. I feel you with the heat. I am in the GTA and the AC is struggling. Once the computer and monitors are on the heat is on too. Great video as always.
    1
  2672. Hope you like your new house
    1
  2673. Also check out `/dev/shm` and `/run/user/$UID` or `/var/run/user/$UID`, e.g. `/run/user/1000`.
    1
  2674. Thanks, I have a virtual box and was considering that. I think I will install a SSD and upgrade my RAM to 8GB. I may try ramdisc for my browser.
    1
  2675. Thank you for explanation. So, I install many distro in virtual box, very often in this month searching for good linux distro for dual boot-windows,etc and that's why asked. One more, thanks.
    1
  2676. Essentially it is not feasible. At least it is clear now! Cheers, man.
    1
  2677. Thanks for the tip. Have a nice weekend.

  2678. Thanks for sharing ! For Office take a look at "Only office"
    1
  2679. I ran GNOME for many years. I decided to switch to KDE Plasma after I watched the video linked below. I am quite happy with KDE. It is highly configurable and Dolphin is probably the best file manager out there. The video that convinced me to switch to KDE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRfBBQx1wAs
    1
  2680. Nice video, I favor kde personally but like the gnome side panel. That Wallpaper is amazing, could you share the source?
    1
  2681. Excuse me, Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad bonus points naming movie so dont cross kde, bungie or gnome...lol Which one is more customizable kde or gnome .............. On my linux journey logitech gaming mouse and linux dont mix well it seems logitech linux driver support is nadda. Cant use skada right in World of warcraft 1st world porblems.... Also another question can one triple or quad boot if one has hard drive space Well be looking forward to the noob 101 ones.........
    1
  2682. I quite liked Pop!_OS till it forgot my password and then wouldn't reinstall, neither 18.04 nor 19.04... But it installed in VirtualBox just fine minutes ago. Hmm. For KDE I've installed Kali Linux for something different to do. It's one to have fun with.
    1
  2683. oh God yes thank you Dorian :) it works i subscribe right now your channel
    1
  2684. ​ @Doriandotslash  I also don't know who he is :-) But he seems dedicated so we are probably fine!
    1
  2685. Yeah, it have a lot of settings, but at least they put a search bar.
    1
  2686. Derek from DistroTube tried Manjaro KDE too. Didn't like it that much. To many issues.
    1
  2687. I do prefer the "macOS" layout, with a top bar like Gnome 2 had and a bottom Dock. Though my workflow normally entails just hitting the Super / Windows key and searching for the application I want to launch. Fortunately, you can make KDE look like that in about 2 minutes. I'll never fathom why people just stick with the "Windows" look it defaults to.
    1
  2688. I decided to go with Manjaro Cinnamon. It is an absolutely gorgeous DE. I installed a separate icon theme Dark-Plane Arch and a regular theme named Qogir Dark. Take a look at this screen shot. It looks as though the bottom task bar has a purple neon light over it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/sw9mnatyc9mwftr/manjaro-cinnamon.png?dl=0 In a Vmware Workstation, the desktop was using about a GB but that's fine. I have 24 GB.
    1
  2689.  @Doriandotslash  I might try to create a custom spin with that Manjaro Architect. I saw a few tutorials.
    1
  2690.  @Doriandotslash  In the late 90's I bought Red Hat but it was extremely difficult to configure. I had to build everything and compile the kernel all of the time. I never even saw a desktop on that thing. It was a mess. No drivers for anything. Not even my modem, at the time. Nothing. If I had been able to get online with it, I would have had more success. But I would have to boot to Windows in order to research topics and print them out. Absolute nightmare. After that, I didn't' mess with Linux until just recently. I was too busy working and didn't have the time and I was a windows developer at the time.
    1
  2691. There should be a downloads button on menu. Im just setting up ubuntu 16 mini 64 bit
    1
  2692. VDesktop and VWorp is developed by me and I am working on redoing it... Can you wait. I will give you a link to a version of it then.
    1
  2693. I just install pamac on kde, octopi is just worst.
    1
  2694. It has higher cpu usage than Gnome? Well that's not good.. I thought Gnome was the biggest resource hog. Yeah, I guess I misunderstood. You're welcome, you helped me by recommending Manjaro, I am hooked on it now! And I can imagine the cost of starting a technical/review channel.
    1
  2695. I've tried KDE neon, kubuntu, and KDE on manjaro and they all gave me similar issues. Seems to be a common thing with nvidia graphics (I have a gtx 960 so it's not too old) but I've tried a bunch of fixes and none of them completely solved the tearing. I haven't tried messing with transparency effects though, that might be something to consider on my next attempt
    1
  2696. you can get a places widget status bar
    1
  2697. DorianDotSlash For me, its more a issue of quickly referencing past information for present issues, so it's a feature that would become more handy for me as the years of use go by. But you're right, not likely a feature for everyone but you can say that about all included apps in general. I like the idea of it being there. But I can see your criticisms of customization (or lack thereof) as it would be nice to turn options like that on or off.
    1
  2698. I have to disagree with you on the Calendar functionality. I definitely would make use of the year jump function, for specific months at least. If Elementary OS gets to the prime time level for me, I'll be using that.
    1
  2699. Have you tried Ubuntu Budgie? I find it's Mac like without getting OCD. What do you think?
    1
  2700.  @Doriandotslash  yea I saw it allready thanks so much brother.
    1
  2701. Elementary admits already that it is trying to be a MacOS/ Windows substitute so I am not too surprised by the design choices. Ubuntu has it better with its gnome desktop environment, something more unique than just copying other operating system's DEs. But hey :D
    1
  2702. Good review, looking at how the system works and not only at desktop background, colors and themes. For me elementary is too elementary, I prefer e.g Ubuntu Mate with eg Pantheon lay-out also for beginners.
    1
  2703. Oh my god! Windows 11 is a (BAD) clone of Pop!OS 21.04 Thanks for the video!
    1
  2704. The ability to move the clock is a big pet peeve of mine in stock Gnome, so when my System76 Gazelle arrives I am excited to test out different configurations.
    1
  2705. What about customizing the login screen? That would be the icing!
    1
  2706. Pop OS is good stuff! When I delved into Linux a year ago, this was my first distro and I still use it! Looking forward to the next version. Thanks for the preview!
    1
  2707. Excellent job on the demo.
    1
  2708. Thank you, Dorian.

  2709. I'm really looking forward to it. Setting up even "easy" window manager like Qtile is such a pain compared to just installing distro with DE.
    1
  2710. Dash to panel my choice. Tiling is nice on Pop because still minimize and close buttons on the windows.
    1
  2711. one LIKE from ME. PLS make a video whit the stable version when will be lunched....... I LIKE POP OS! maby version 21 will have GNOME 40 :)

  2712.  @Doriandotslash  I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again.

  2713. Great review. Thanks!
    1
  2714. Good one . Thanks for showing it to us : )
    1
  2715. Thanks a lot, mate! That was a really interesting review to watch :)
    1
  2716. No issues so far. It is EFI. I will check osdn.net. Thanks Dorian

  2717. Hi. When you're planning to release Scion? I would change the default theming to a dark one and get rid of the plank but the rest looks good. It would be nice to have an official Openbox flavour of Ubuntu :)
    1
  2718. All your hard work paid off;) Not gonna test it myself, I'm just interested in different operating systems and like to watch these kind of video's. Good luck with Scion and take care.
    1
  2719. Erm sorry, I should have listened to what you said about the Spectre et al problems and it's effects on VM's, d'oh! I am looking forward to will giving the latest non "bionic" version a whirl. I subscribe to Distrotube and I was dissapointed for you at the way his review turned out, I can only imagine how dissapointed you were after all the time/effort you have put into Scion.
    1
  2720. Hi Dorian./, loaded previous versin of Scion on VM and found a couple of "gliches". However I am reluctant to comment as I cannot be sure if the problem is your distro, which I thoroughly enjoy, or a quirk of Virtualbox. Keep up the good work!!
    1
  2721. Think about it, maybe I'm not the only one who wants to donate, but doesn't want to use Patreon.
    1
  2722. I finally found it as Configure Desktop in Menu Settings
    1
  2723. NVIDIA on suse. Go to /etc/gdm and edit custom.conf and uncomment the line wayland enable=false. The your drivers will work.
    1
  2724. Happy 1000! Congrats:D
    1
  2725. The Icon Browser helps with the SSB system, and other Icon shortcut stuff. The SSBs for Microsoft Office online or the Google app universe. Gmail and Google Drive are natural SSBs. Skype is, or very soon will be only be Web only. I am an Xfce guy. There is an older laptop which will be peppier with Peppermint, never mind my poor single core boxes. It seem a great core to use as is, or build up. You do great videos and help massively.. Thanks!
    1
  2726. Chromixium was an interesting distro mimicking ChromeOS with the added ability to use Linux applications. The tag line was similar.... Indeed, I learnt my lessons. If it works, stay put!
    1
  2727. lol, the mouse finder:D
    1
  2728. Great review. Unbiased and informative. I've been using Peppermint for about a year now but still learnt quite a lot from this.
    1
  2729. G'day Dorian, there's also AlmaLinux, I've downloaded that a few weeks ago, I think the boot iso was the first one I tried had no luck with that, the other download was somewhere in the size of 11GB :O lol My workplace IT asked if I knew of a replacement for Centos I told him I'd look around, he's looking to plan a future replacement, He occasionally watches my videos, I told him I know nothing about the server side of things, however he may find the installation options interesting, didn't know about Rocky, except for the boxer Hahahaha!! I might check that out! thanks for the vid mate. .

  2730. Thanks. Good to understand for non english native speakers 😎

  2731. Great video… Thanks 😊
    1
  2732. Awesome information
    1
  2733. Thanks for the information, it helped me to make a decision about the right OS, I should be installing
    1
  2734. Appreciate it, thx alot for your info
    1
  2735. good video! :)
    1
  2736. Oh, i can't wait to see a release. Good to know that its possible to start testing!
    1
  2737. Awesome video, thanks
    1
  2738. Great video, thanks!
    1
  2739. I'm so excited about this I joined the community right after watching. Thanks for sharing.
    1
  2740. ok I did it can i can play valorant now yay
    1
  2741. Very nice job!
    1
  2742. Good video once again
    1
  2743. i love your wideo awesome
    1
  2744. Super Tutorial - got me running
    1
  2745. hehe beacuse of your videos of KDE lately, i has as well installed KDE on debian 9 to try it out and so far i'm liking it a lot actually, it has come a long way since kde 3.5, i skipped kde4
    1
  2746. nice video :) i'm using straight debian 9 on my laptop and it works very good, stable :) maybe you issue with the titlebar disappeing has something todo with "Allow applications to block compositing" in display under KDE settings?
    1
  2747. Very good
    1
  2748. You are welcome q4os Is one of the best debian testing distro out There and abut sparkylinux Don’t know much about it I heard it’s good And it has Both stable And testing with multiple Desktops anyway Keep up the good work you make some awesome videos
    1
  2749. q4os is a really good distro and it’s Starting to be my favorite debian based distributions and the debian testing version is pretty stable and Did not have any big problem Useing it the only real Issue I’m having is I can’t seem to install wine Staging keep getting errors but other than that everything runs Perfectly Also There is a other Debian testing based distributions celld sparkylinux. You might want to check it out I have not tried it yet but I might in the future Maybe it wll fix my issue wine anyway The review you did on q4os was really good And made me decide To switch to it
    1
  2750. Just subscribed! I like the fact that you're focusing on Debian based distros.
    1
  2751. Peppermint 9 yes.
    1
  2752. Hi Dorian./ A wordy yet interesting video, thanks. My answer to your question "What Debian-based distros do you use/like"? There is but one distro to use - MX Linux. MX 17, which is based on stable, affords easy access to Debian backports where the latest/later version of that must-have application may well be lurking.B-) Further to this I enjoy tinkering with Antix which can be installed with either the stable, testing or unstable Sid kernel and of course that hidden gem Miyo Linux, have a look at what this Devuan based distro can do!
    1
  2753. Hi Dorian , awesome video :) I Like Ubuntu ,its easy to use it has good hardware compatibility. -- But gnome needs more development, there's still many bugs that need to be fix -- Overall its a good distro xD .
    1
  2754.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks Dorian, I finally figured it out and also changed the icon to a nightly build color since it not fully installed. Cheers!
    1
  2755. where are you getting your wallpapers from ? they look real pretty
    1
  2756. Ok so I set up XDM probably incorrectly so now I get a janky lookin log in screen that is nothing like yours, how do I disable this as a runtime thingy and fix it? is there a command so I can go back to the terminal? Edit: Ok so I chrooted in and disabled it, not sure why KDE isn't really working, but!!! I will look around Edit2: I decided to use xfce and it works fine thanks a lot for the great tutorial series!
    1
  2757. Thank you for another great video series! Is emerge a package manager? I'm used to using apt in debian.
    1
  2758. Hi Dorian, Thanks for your Vídeos. Part 1 has helped me to install live cd on Qemu. After trying more than 10 times I nearly gave up until I watched your video. I'm very very happy about this.
    1
  2759. Right before reboot if i type the umount -l command it errors with: umount: /mnt/gentoo/dev{/shm,: no mount point specified, and the same for pts EDIT: nvm i umount -R then force reboot by holding down the power key on my laptop and i can boot up fine, thanks for the guide!
    1
  2760. I ran across your video while looking for help installing Gentoo. Yours is the most informative and in-depth one currently on youtube, imho. Thank you for making it easy, even though I made it harder on myself since I do prefer systemd over openrc. It took a few tries, but I have it running. I first tried Gentoo 20 years ago, but my equipment certainly was not up to the task back then. Again a big Thank You.
    1
  2761. Thanks 🙏
    1
  2762. yeah, I had the same issue. Apparently the xdm init script was deprecated and the gentoo wiki tells you to display-manager instead.
    1
  2763. You have an Epyc CPU! Well, that explains the desktop choice. Still, I'd go minimal with Gentoo.
    1
  2764. Thanks man. I'm still learning some Bash commands and the structure. I'm planning on moving to a Linux Distro here soon. This was way helpful.
    1
  2765. Great thx!
    1
  2766. Just stumbled on Scion Linux and watched two videos today. This one and your latest iso release video. System look promising and will be watching for more release info. Bravo for your effort.
    1
  2767. I have an idea - upload to Dropbox or Google Drive
    1
  2768. dorian's are smart peeps
    1
  2769. Thank you very much!
    1
  2770. Thank You
    1
  2771. Love your videos. Whats the theme you are using and where can I get that background ?
    1
  2772. great video...I just subscribed, I like what you're doing! I wonder if you do any power management on your machine? I'm on the road these days a lot and have been struggling to keep my Watts down on 18.04....it seems to run higher than 17.10 on the same H/W. I've been tinkering around with PowerTop and TLP...I've also switched to solely using integrated graphics. Maybe a topic for another video??
    1
  2773. Yupp, Text zooming is possible. Will try this - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1393467

  2774. I just use chrome/chromium because IMO Firefox is still lacking in speed for me. I do love its open source philosophy though. A lot of people are switching to it because of the new chrome redesign, but I rather like the redesign. Firefox is still a solid browser.
    1
  2775. Main reason for me to switch from Chromium to Firefox is that awful new look of Chromium. I absolutely hate it. And I'm so used to Fx, it's hard to change it for another. On Thunderbird there is no option to untick the titlebar, but you can enable the same look as on Fx, but double clicking on mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar in config editor to set to true.
    1
  2776. Chrome is only usable for me when I ad a lot of stuff, like ad blocker and Audio Only YouTube, Some browsers also don't update regularly on the version of Ubuntu Linux I'm using, like you said nothing is perfect.
    1
  2777. Chrome have support to check spelling in multiple languages and some sites like Memrise get sticky with Firefox. More ad-ons for Chrome also, like Volume Master, which is nice for louder music video's. The sound ins some websites like NOS Live is also very low in Firefox. Have tried Firefox many times but end up with Chrome because Firefox always lacks something.
    1
  2778. I've been a FireFox user since version 3.5 or even 3.0/3.1 up until Mozilla was just about to release Quantum and thus kill FireFox (FireFox was all about unlimited power of extensions, it never had anything else to offer and now it has nothing to offer at all for me). Now it's been about a year since I'm on Cent Browser, which is a Chromium with proper GUI. If it wasn't for Cent, I'd probably be on Pale Moon I guess.
    1
  2779. 7 percent.... Linux girls? WAT?
    1
  2780.  @Doriandotslash  yeah makes sense and that's a big selling point for me with NixOS, so I'll stick to that. Thanks again!
    1
  2781. Nice explanation, also I've never heard anyone pronounce executable like that before, blew my mind :D
    1
  2782. This series really helped my wrap my head around Nix OS! Hopefully one day you come back to doing videos :D
    1
  2783. thank you so much!
    1
  2784.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you for the reply. And thank you for the video this helps a lot when I try to install gentoo
    1
  2785. > 5 minute preamble I am in for some shit, aren't I
    1
  2786. Wow... watched this video from the beginning to the end
    1
  2787. I really like your voice xD
    1
  2788.  @Doriandotslash  Yep. Apparently I did something wrong. This time it didn't force merge qtwebengine. Thanks.
    1
  2789.  @Doriandotslash  I really like Alpine Linux for being very fast lightweight distro that works even without spending a full day installing it and it uses musl. Some software is still not compatibile with musl though. Thanks for reply and very informative gentoo video! :D
    1
  2790. Great content..been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks Dorian.
    1
  2791. Best tutorial gj!!!
    1
  2792. That intro was funny
    1
  2793. Your fist line in the video is why I don't use Gentoo. Also the age of my hardware would make compile times extremely long. Thanks for putting in the time and effort and energy. I learned a lot thanks.
    1
  2794. I installed the kernel, and didn't work. So I go for another try with genkernel all. That worked like magic.
    1
  2795. ​Yeah, you're right about the outdated packages, that's still mostly the case. But it wasn't too much of a concern for me. I set it up mostly for my friends and family who wanted an OS for basic stuff (surfing, videos, music, some basic games even...). I installed it with Budgie on some kind of older hardware (all of them circa 2011) and it ran pretty smooth, not to mention that everyone was amazed of how good and fresh it looked. Flatpaks...errr, yeah... but not my cup of tea, to be honest. Anyway, I kept solus on my old laptop that everyone in the house can use (good old, reliable and hellishly ugly Dell laptop with 2nd gen i5), but my daily driver is Mint/Cinnamon that I use since 2013 for all my work, programming and pretty much everything else. I don't really think it's "the best ever" or some stupid thing like that, but I tried several other distros and I always get back to it. It never failed me. And yes, Debian - although I really thought of it as the papa of my Mint, I never really dared to go for it. Never really thought of myself as linux expert enough for it, idk... :D Gonna go watch your latest video on it, who knows... maybe this is the time ;) Thanks once again!
    1
  2796. I've tried many desktops, most recently KDE on Neon, Kubuntu and Manjaro.... it's awesome, the low use of resources is incredible. But, as in the past, went back to Gnome, it just works for me, I'm so used to its workflow. the downside of gnome is the high use of memory. Loved your wallpapers by the way... would you share?
    1
  2797. I might ask you to have a look at Void Linux, however, I would recommended that you try it in a VM before trying it on hardware.
    1
  2798. I was just about to say "Lamborghini" but you said no cars...
    1
  2799. Tried pop! OS on hardware, it is nice, however, I find it very long to boot up. I didnt try to setup bumblebee on it, as I don't want to use it anymore, I just stick to the Nvidia=on all the time. Bumblebee is a dead project and at the current stage, it doesnt provide very good results compared to the real nvidia drivers. So that being said, I prefer Manjaro, and it gives me a introduction to Arch at the same time. Your next giveaway could be a OnePlus 6 phone! Jokes... I love oneplus.

  2800. I know that Krita uses the GPU for some things, e.g. canvas rotation, but other things it does not. There is settings in Krita though specifically for enabling GPU usage, but I don't know how many tools are actually supported, or if it's just for some viewing basics. On the Kwin flickering, I believe setting "force full composition pipeline" in the Nvidia control panel fixes the issue, though it's probably a bit late to mention that... I know I've used OBS with Plasma while screencasting wallpaper creation and I haven't had that issue. :/
    1
  2801. My only thought is hybrid graphics on a laptop.
    1
  2802. I don't get any flickering when recording using KDE. https://youtu.be/YC1dzNiYYX0 (Sorry for the video having a low quality, bad framerate, and not being smooth. My CPU only has 2 cores) Plasma 5.13.3 on Arch Linux. Pentium G4560 && GTX 1050
    1
  2803. Go Elementary 5.0 !!!
    1
  2804. I didn't notice anything strange. I do use an AMD graphics card, I probably should of mentioned that. I did come by a video by baby WOGUE here on YouTube showing a possible solution. They uncheck "allow flipping" in the Nvidia X Server settings under OpenGL settings.
    1
  2805. Great video mate!! very informative!
    1
  2806. Thanks Dorian. I'm thinking of going to debian also i'm not real good with debian so thanks this helps me out.
    1
  2807. I prefer stable releases. If I have a computer set up and running how I like it I don't want a new release to make significant changes. That is why I am an ex Windows user.
    1
  2808. Thanks, very interesting
    1
  2809. Thanks! This was very helpful.
    1
  2810. You're the man 💯!
    1
  2811. Love the background image on your desktop. Mind linking to it? Thank you in advance! Great video!
    1
  2812. Best explanation i ever saw in a video
    1
  2813. Thankyou a lot.... This help me a lot... I have an Nvidia graphics... So going to try this..
    1
  2814. Micheal of Tux Digital has a weekly gnunews edition and I skip the games part, because it doesn't interest me.
    1
  2815. Well Done :D

  2816. 503 error and congrats d./
    1
  2817. I first played it on the raspberry pi store that was my sister's. WE REALLY liked it, but never beat it. Many years later, I now play it on my pc using wine. I love playing it whenever i remember to. And starting over from the beginning is painful, unless you're trying to get the true ending, which is AWESOME.
    1
  2818. woah i like this! for once i am glade i watched a distro review
    1
  2819. The pointer "loading" animation was a nice touch! :)
    1
  2820. 100% agree.
    1
  2821. Damn.... Everything but the kitchen sink.
    1
  2822. Krunner seems very well put together. I would imagine, very stable as well.
    1
  2823. The newer Plasma settings is much better. If it's possible to update plasma to the latest release, I'd do it.
    1
  2824. Not to mention Mark from Peppermint and DolphinOracle from MX are super great guys.
    1
  2825. 3 of my personal favorites. :)
    1
  2826. I know exactly what you mean. There have been many a time where I've worked on something for hours and hours and finally just hit DELETE and start from scratch. :) Great video.
    1
  2827. I like your new logo Dorian. what did you create it with. Also how did you make your intro i like that also. I have to try Netrunner again been awhile since was on it. they only had the manjaro netrunner kde back then not Debian. very interesting
    1
  2828. As for KDE, Manjaro KDE is my favorite, or Arch
    1
  2829. I'm using Pop!_OS currently but planning to move to Ubuntu 18.10 when it releases
    1
  2830. netrunner is an interesting os, but I have better alternatives :( Excellent video as always!
    1
  2831. Yes they are.
    1
  2832. 12.12.1 version was evergreen of netrunner. i enjoyed much.
    1
  2833. Thank you for sharing. Great video.
    1
  2834. Easy fix Just win the lottery. Then you will have time. ........... Okay I'm taking a big step I am actually going to install Linux and not use linux in a VM because honestly I really don't use Windows that much.. Going to wipe out windows Now I have three questions 1. Do I have to sacrifice a 3.5 floppy to the linux gods.. 2. Or do I have to find 3 Linux Geeks and during a blue moon pray to Linux gods. 3. Or is it in a way like Windows insert the flash drive with a Linux ISO go through the prompts and pretty much just installs Linux
    1
  2835. Pity, man. In my mind it was equivalent to SalentOS - only americanized! Maybe in a couple of months you can pick it up again. The python scripts, are they still usable? Even after updates? Cheers!
    1
  2836. Donation made to soften the loss;)
    1
  2837. My condoleances Dorian;)
    1
  2838. Thanks a lot for providing these themes. They're perfect
    1
  2839. Thanks for that gonna check it
    1
  2840. Amazing! Thanks for sharing it :-D
    1
  2841. This was an excellent explanation of NixOS, good job!
    1
  2842. Very interesting video. I'll likely try NixOS in the future.
    1
  2843. This is true. Dorian is one of my favorite Linux presenters with a pleasant voice. Great content.
    1
  2844. Thanks Man so much for these great vid's ! Iv'e only been using Linux on and of two three years, my main OS is Win10 mainly because I'm a fps gamer, however I use Netrunner and Voyager Linux on my laptops. I'm not a power-user when it comes to Linux, I still doing my best and learning, so I really appreciate these great, well explained Linux tutorials like yours. So thanks dude again and keep up the good vid's !
    1
  2845. fantastic installation process:)
    1
  2846. Now that’s news .... 👏🏾😎🇺🇸👏🏾 great demonstration. The preparation is appreciated.
    1
  2847.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks, I'll definitely check those out. I left plenty of room under my Gentoo install in order to add another distro on the drive. I was just debating trying Nix, but will check out Silverblue and Qubes too. What would you put on a Libreboot flashed old Core2Duo Lenovo? It's a tablet, so I've got to figure out the touch screen thing. I'm also seriously debating a hardware project to add a USB3382 PCIe to USB 3.0 bridge chip. It's well documented, and has Linux kernel drivers. I am trying gentoo on the newer machine to get an idea of what to do with the Leno. I did the full Sakaki EFI Tutorial from stage 1 with custom kernel and all, but having trouble with UEFI stuff presently. (It's due to the poor OEM firmware. I can remove the w10 drive from the machine, but it's still the only 'secure boot' option listed. It even names the Toshiba HDD in UEFI with it removed.) ... I am thinking about trying to build an entire setup for the Leno-Libre from source starting with GCC for the learning experience. I assume that leaves me with Gentoo as the only well documented option?
    1
  2848. please do a video on GoboLinux
    1
  2849. hello again Dorian, long time no videos
    1
  2850. Great video! Thanks!
    1
  2851. Great intro ! Many thanks :)
    1
  2852. can't wait for part 2
    1
  2853. Keep upthe work, lovin it
    1
  2854. WOW-- EXCELLENT VIDEO.. you teach in a simple, smooth manner that is so easy to catch- without a lot of useless jabber or repetiviness... THANKS... I believe I may try this- WONDERFUL VIDEO.
    1
  2855. NixOS feels like the perfect distro for organizations - those that need to manage a ton of computers can simply deploy new configurations and updates, overnight - without things breaking, right?
    1
  2856. cool
    1
  2857. This is super simple :-)
    1
  2858. The benefits of Nix are far greater than just being able to roll back. Dorian didn't really show off any of the seriously cool stuff you can do with Nix but that is perfectly fine for a video targeted at beginners who just want to get into it. Some things to check out: nix-shell, nixos-rebuild build-vm, lorri/direnv, root as tmpfs, nixops, nixos tests and hydra
    1
  2859. Nice Video thanks, trhis is what iam looking for :>
    1
  2860. If you're looking for more content on NixOS, you can look at Burke Libby's videos located https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSW5DqTyfOI9sUvnFoCjBlQ/featured and I also have a few located https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-cY3DcYladGdFQWIKL90SQ obviously not as nicely edited as Dorian
    1
  2861. great! thanks a lot
    1
  2862. Can you show how to use Kvantum Manager?
    1
  2863.  @Doriandotslash  Yes, I may have to just try it. I have several laptops, 2 of them well suited for eGPU (none of them are Thunderbolt 3, it would be one of the PCI methods or expresscard), so I may buy a power supply and GPU that in case of failure could be used in a PC I would assemble. Thanks for your videos.
    1
  2864.  @Doriandotslash  yes you are right. I used it for about one year before it was very good. I do not blame manjaro nor Arch but the apps i do have problem was most related to the kernel. Thanks for the replay
    1
  2865.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you for your help, I've added your channel to my subscription list ;) keep up the good work
    1
  2866. Nice animations!
    1
  2867.  @Doriandotslash  thank you Dorian
    1
  2868. Dude love you channel. post more! A cool video I wish you could do is just compare package managers etc. Compare new kernels.
    1
  2869. Try etcher, it is great.
    1
  2870.  @Doriandotslash  No problem. Just a suggestion. I will try it out on a VM. I installed Arch in a VM with no DE. But, I might run into hardware problems if I install it to my other partition.

  2871.  @Doriandotslash  I see. Basically, using it to create a new DE.
    1
  2872.  @Doriandotslash  You need to join the stream if you can..Q4OS mmm KDE 3.5 is different and although Trinity is a fork like Mate I can't seem to gel with it..I'm so happy you, your partner and baby are fab..I wish you all a very happy life and Christmas all my love

  2874. Great video #timeshift. Sometimes wish if there was one for real life.

  2875. I've been thinking about installing Solus alongside other distribution. I'm glad I saw this video before doing that. :) Thank you for sharing your experience with Solus in dual boot setting. Hope to see new videos soon.
    1
  2876. Great video. Thanks. I usually install one distro per drive, but Solus sounds like a pain.
    1
  2877. Cool i didn't know Timeshift was in Arch i thought it was only for Ubuntu. Thanks for showing this. check this out DorianDotSlash https://forum.manjaro.org/t/restore-manjaro-boot/3350 thats the why i did it to fix my bootloader. your running UEFI so it should work pretty much same way. try it out let me know what you think.
    1
  2878. Great little tutorial. Bytheway have you fixed your dual monitor problem you had?
    1
  2879. DorianDotSlash By the way next time if you get into same problem try cp -r that specific directory (in this case /boot) from timeshift directory to your actual boot folder 😀 it may work and you don't have to update 300 packages
    1
  2880. DorianDotSlash Yes it does. You can have unique icons for each Ubuntu OR rEFInd displays the kernel path that it's going to load under logos. It apparently also has text only mode but I haven't tried it yet. What's the fun of that?
    1
  2881. This article may help you https://medium.com/@manujarvinen/setting-up-a-multi-boot-of-5-linux-distributions-ca1fcf8d502

  2882. Looking good! What ever you need, just let me know. I'm always around. :)

  2883. It's difficult, because there are some very nice themes available. My favorites: Arc, Breeze, Adapta and Adwaita dark.
    1
  2884. All your hard work is beginning to pay off. Breeze window borders are nice. I'm a big fan of the Breeze dark theme, but on Peppermint I use the Arc dark theme. After being on Windows for so long, I don't light themes at all anymore.

  2890. Thank you so much, i can actually use my mic on linux now, it turned from earrape into clear audible voice
    1
  2891. Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to record audio from my Nintendo Switch. but it had this really annoying noise which I guess was kinda like mic hiss? I think it was coming from the USB dongle I was using to connect it to my laptop. Regardless, this worked! Thank you so much!

  2892.  @Doriandotslash  Thank you. I hope I can do something like this.

  2896. This is very good advice sound-wise, but I would never trust receiving and feeding an unknown set of commands from an unknown source. BTW. the full address (to date) is https://gist.githubusercontent.com/grigio/cb93c3e8710a6f045a3dd9456ec01799/raw/94f07c7d75bcf5dd9b08a9c3034844223ec6fbe1/fix-microphone-background-noise.sh and what the script does is to add three lines to /etc/pulseaudio/default.pa after having backed up the old file.The three lines are load-module module-echo-cancel source_name=noechosource sink_name=noechosink set-default-source noechosource set-default-sink noechosink And finally it restarts pulseaudio with pulseaudio -k Just in case the link goes amiss

  2900. For Markdown, I use "MarkText".
    1
  2901. @DorianDotSlash Actually it does have a lot of effects, though maybe not exactly the ones you want. You can also combine them with raster images. But Krita is of course very promising, especially as it's being developed much more actively than either GIMP or Inkscape.
    1
  2902. Mint is my goto distro for ease of use and compatibility, both for noobs and people who just don't want to fix their computer every update. Had to do a few customizations in the UI at the code level for some interesting quirks it has with a few apps (at least in Mint 19 beta, might have been resolved in the LTS release), but other than that, I don't care about visual effects and junk like that. Yeah yeah... now y'all going to ask why I want my distro to look like windblows cause I'm using Cinnamon over Mint... The answer is that it is easy. That's the point, and that is the only way Linux will progress in the desktop environment, and it is the only distro I recommend or teach to others. BUTTT... I am CentOS7 all the way on my servers ;)
    1
  2903. Good list, thanks for sharing.

  2906.  @Doriandotslash  Dude, I'm a professional illustrator and Krita has absolutely made my career possible. It completely destroys PS, and now I'd never consider touching Adobe products. Glad you dig it!

  2907. Virtual box is very good if you have a big hard drive or 2 separate drives and 16g or more.

  2908. Synaptic package manager
    1
  2909. My List. Clipit, qbittorrent, simple screen recorder, slimjet, gparted, unetbootin, thunar, nemo, gkrel, gdmap. Reasons: I need to start publishing hat in detail later.
    1
  2910. Stacer, Shutter, CherryTree.
    1
  2911. Yeah, Plank has a lot less dependencies but Docky seems to be smoother on the systems I run. When I say smoother I'm really just talking about the zoom animation when you hover over icons, completely cosmetic.. 😉
    1
  2912. Great selection man. Another one I always install is either Plank or Docky... I love me some docks. 😉
    1
  2913. OBS (Open Broadcaster Software Studio) homepage is at https://obsproject.com
    1
  2914. Tweak Tool isn't useful if you use Mint Cinnamon, it's a better desktop IMO - so easy to do everything you need without getting clever or having headaches... Variety makes the desktop look beautiful (I have some cartoon books converted to images to add some extra interest - using it on my HDTV makes for interesting wallpaper when nobody's watching TV or using the computer). Guake is good, but apt-fast is my first addition though. Deluge is the best torrent client, After that, Easygesture and Variety are the top two... Easygestures means you can do just about anything with the mouse - draw a C to start Chromium, do a lightning zigzag to max vertically/horizontally, do a curl to hide the UI in Vivaldi... Mailspring took over as my default mail client and I use Parcellite svn clipboard manager. Then Plex Media Server and Plex Media Player (appimage) come next, and Calibre to handle my e-books for my iPad/Kindle. I have a few browsers, and Chromium/Chrome are nice - Firefox will always be useful; but Vivaldi is my favourite - looks best and works best (best features). I don't worry about the built in gestures (Vivaldi and Opera both have them, rendered useless by easygestures).
    1
  2915. https://typora.io/ just something better than Haroopad

  2916. + Synaptic, Audacious, Double Commander (or Sunflower)

  2917.  @Doriandotslash  Fair enough. So you use Debian based, but your main rig had Manjaro. Okey dokey. Cool.

  2919. Completely similar to mine

  2921. Why a dark theme is better for eyes? I tried to find a research for that but I haven't found any. My list: - neovim - vifm - vimiv - rofi - smplayer - gnucash - vorta/borg - termite - rtorrent - mpd, mpc and ncmpcpp - zathura - calibre - vivaldi/firefox

  2923. vokoscreen is what I use to record my desktop.
    1
  2924. I also have Krita installed next to Gimp. AFAIR Krita was originally a fork of Gimp but the look and feel for many things is just a lot better IMHO
    1
  2925.  @Doriandotslash  to be really honest. I think what happened was : I had files in OO spreadsheet with graphics. I then switched to LO spreadsheet and they crashed. Rather than redoing all my files in LO, I downloaded OO spreadsheet.
    1
  2926. I'm not a fan of Libre Office. I prefer the Apache Open Office. I found that although Libre Office writer has a lot more cool gimmicks )over Open Office). But I found Libre Office Spreadsheet crashes where Open Office does not. I actually use Libre Office Writer and Open Office Spreadsheet.
    1
  2927. get ActionA (used to be called Action AZ). Turns into an extremely powerful app to automate any process. I mean any process.
    1
  2928. Cairo Dock makes your Linux look like Apple OS - actually quite powerful and useful and lets you tell your Apple Mac friends that you can make Linux operate like Apple (and that Apple is not impressive).
    1
  2929. I like Gimp but am more impressed with InkScape. Ink Scape is the ONLY drawing software that allows you to vectorise a raster image. And believe it or not Open Office / Libre Office Draw - extremely underrated as a powerful drawing package.
    1
  2930. Good selection, if a little Gnome heavy :). I might add a caution about Nightlight/RedShift. Any Pro photographers working in Linux will know this anyway, but any hobbyist photography enthusiasts may not. RedShift by its nature will change how images look on your monitor, so if you happen to work on processing a photo at night, and think it looks fine, you might not be so impressed when you check it on the morning. Same with video, if you're using colour grading or similar adjustments on your videos.

  2931. minecraft work as well on linux (must have java 1.8)

  2933. Good video. Thanks for the review.
    1
  2934. @ @Doriandotslash  - Novice users to Linux have a learning curve that is slightly greater than discovering that apps are really programs, but I do get what you are saying. Personally, I would prefer that apps on Linux platforms refer to containerised distro-agnostic programs that are specifically installed through App-store installers such as Snappy - https://snapcraft.io/ But it is really all semantics though old time *nix users must be the most curmudgeonly bunch on this planet and will take a long time getting used to referring to programs as apps. After all Linux old-timers still regularly have arguments such as which is better, Emacs vs Vi or Mutt vs Alpine?
    1
  2935.  @Doriandotslash  By the way I love your channel. Particularly your videos on Nvidia Optimus and Bumblebee which was a nightmare for me when I was dealing with Nvidia drivers on my new laptop. Keep making such videos

    1
  2951. I would recommend visual studio code as a pretty decent editor, pretty good for python and markdown too
    1
  2952. ​ @Doriandotslash  How well does Geany handle having more than one instance running at a time? I hate IDEs with tabbed editing or "child windows": they're a major nuisance when you're making changes that affect multiple files. Or even a single big one: I'll often have two copies of a file open with kwrite so I can look at declarations at the top of the file while I'm editing code in the middle. What good are multiple monitors when your editor forces you to use only one of them? The last IDE I really liked was the one for Visual Basic 4: there was one window for controlling things, but all the editing windows were separate ones that you could position for your convenience, not the IDE programmer's. Thanks for taking the time to do this video: I was already familiar with most of these (been a full-time Linux user since the days of Mandrake, and even toyed with it a bit back in the 1990s), but you showed me a few possible gems that I hadn't noticed before.
    1
  2953. I can definitely relate to that. The software I'm using for work (mostly audio related) is also proprietary for three reasons: I miss some important functionality in free software alternatives, I need to use windows anyway because of the driver/hardware support 🙄 and also because I'm very used to them and feel much less "productive" when I'm using alternatives. Nowadays I'm trying to get used to free software first before eventually trying proprietary alternatives. That way I often figure out that I don't need them at all. Inkscape is the perfect example. I'm not a professional graphics desinger but I'm also doing some programming related stuff and I'm using it for UI design/ mock ups, asset designs, logo designs and of cause for doing graphics for presentations and it's just a breeze to use :) Edit: I forgot to say that I think Krita is very exciting :-D

  2966. I'm currently going to school for computer science, and if I ever switched from programming to the GUI design side, which also interests me, I'd definitely spend my time contributing to open source projects like this to beautify them up. Eclipse could really use it the most.
    1
  2967. Oh, I haven't used GIMP in a while. I like the new look. I always hated using GIMP before the change because it made it look cheap and Fisher-Pricey with the colored icons that didn't match colors. Monochrome icons are always my preference in any app.
    1
  2968. Flameshot. Best new screen shooting app with annotation support.
    1
  2969. I use all standard Linux utilities on my zfs datasets, including nautilus, thunar etc. I noticed a few small differences, I have to set the user permissions on datapool and dataset and I use "sudo nautilus" for it. I have to delete the trash folder to recuperate the storage, I use the standard file manager for it and the trash folder will be recreated by Linux, when needed. I had to write some small scripts for Conky to get the accumulated throughput of the zfs dataset(s) on the three striped HDD partitions and I did the same for zfs memory cache size and hit rate.
    1
  2970. I run ZFS on Ubuntu, because I had a lot of music file corruption due to frequent power fails. File corruption due to power/hardware issues is impossible with ZFS , due to the "Copy on Write". ZFS also has the following advantages: - Support of all RAID configurations. - I use it with striping of HDD partitions (~RAID-0) using HDDs of different size (2.5"/3.5" and 320GB, 500GB and 1TB) - Snapshots per dataset (main folder), love it. - Writing copies of the same sector to 2 striped HDDs, correcting sector read errors, but 1 disk failure still kills all data. - Compression (lz4 or gzip-x) per dataset (main folder). - AMD StoreMI/Intel SRT type support, two level caching, dynamically sized memory cache and fixed SSD cache/datapool. - 200-250 MB/s read throughput for DD Utility or zfs scrub on 3 leftover HDDs without any SSD caching. - Virtualbox machines (VM) boot time is 30-60 seconds, reboot time 7-40 seconds. Win 7/10 are the slowest. Xubuntu/Ubuntu Mate the fastest. I use it with a 2008 HP dc5850 maxed out to 8GB DDR2 and a 4 core AMD Phenom II. I do not use a SSD yet. I doubt, whether it brings very much (see also the last paragraph). The memory cache fluctuates between 1GB and 3GB dependent on the memory requirements of my VMs. I also use ZFS on my i5-2520m laptop (8GB DDR3) with one 1TB SSHD (8GB solid state part), so I have de facto 2 level caching, but uncoordinated. Initial boot times of the VMs are 10%-20% faster, reboot times mainly from memory cache are the same. SSD part runs at 200MB/s, HDD part at ~100MB/s.

  2979. puts on tinfoil hat Instal manjaro KDE making a video saying that you will be using KDE for the foreseeable future.. Hard drive crashes it's quite simple The gnome gods are angry........... _________________________________ I hate it when hard drives go kaput. My wife rest her soul. Always thought I was nuts.... this was before the whole Cloud thing I would always make backup the files of my very important files on my computer on another hard drive. I would back it up every 6 months and I would put it in a safe deposit box at a bank.... as well as copies of our family photos..... That way God forbid something happened to the house like a fire, tornado. The photos and the backup files wouldn't be destroyed along with the house. It's funny I still do it that way. I guess it's more out of habit now than anything... I know you already know this but the moral of the story is backup Backup backup... Okay sorry for the diatribe I've been up all night my granddaughter had baby boy very late last night. I am now officially a great grandfather...... dear God I'm getting old...............
    1
  2980. OK, I checked OBS on nvidia and intel - the same issue happens, so this is not because of nvidia or gpu drivers. kwin is just making this issue on OBS and maybe on other screen recorders. For me this isn't a big issue since I can disable it for the time of recording but if you do such videos more often and you can't disable it then it's really a serious problem. EDIT: I have unchecked allow flipping on nvidia settings and the issue happens. This is another sign that it has nothing to do with nvidia.
    1
  2981. I have nvidia gtx 970M, also dual graphic. It looks like the same bug and yet it is more stubborn in your case so maybe card version does play a role here? I submitted a bug to kwin developer and even provided with a video but... it looked like he didn't believe it is real. This was strange. I see this flash on many Plasma videos but not on all so hardware seems to play a role here. I checked now and this flickering is even more annoying than in the past. Again, setting vertical sync to "never" makes it go away reliably as always.
    1
  2982. Why would anyone usephotoshop when Krita gimp and inkscape exist? But yeah, pinning that is a different story. I subbed.
    1
  2983. Background music is to loud especially in the beginning of the video. I have tearfree enabled on my HP, wich fixed the screen tearing on Peppermint 9, wich I'm currently on. Installed it friday evening. I believe I mentioned this before, DistroTube used Manjaro KDE, but had some issues too and removed it from his main machine. I use the Dark reader extension on Chrome and Firefox. Gives every website a dark theme. Not for everyone I know, but it's very easy on my eyes, so;)
    1
  2984. This is the only config that does it for me. Tried them all. Create a file called /etc/profile.d/kwin.sh and add the following lines. #!/bin/sh export KWIN_TRIPLE_BUFFER=1 2. If you have a high refresh rate monitor, you need to set the KDE compositor to use that refresh rate. For some reason the KDE compositor can't properly detect refresh rate with Nvidia drivers. Add the following two lines to ~/.config/kwinrc in the [Compositing] section. Change 144 to whatever you've set your refresh rate to in Display settings. MaxFPS=144 RefreshRate=144
    1
  2985. You're welcome! I think I caught all the stuff I immediately have answers for, but if there's more tweaks or papercuts just let me know! There's also a fantastic community on Reddit that will answer your questions (look for /r/kde); I'm on there as well fairly often and I regularly answer questions when somebody else hasn't already beat me to it.
    1
  2986. Thanks for the quick response )
    1
  2987. Same. 3.5 was where I got off the train. Those widgets and toys served no purpose for me, and I did linux sysadmin work. I can only imagine what normal users thought about it. It pissed me off greatly because I had to go looking for a new desktop at work and home because those developers couldn't keep their fantasies in their pants.
    1
  2988. They've been focusing on plasmids and random ass eye candy for no reason instead of how people productively use computers. Recently that's been getting better with the latter end of 5, but the last 5 years have been a shit show. KDE 4 - 5 plasma lost the plot. It was the top rated/most usable GUI on linux for a long time. Nobody was even close. Then the developers decided to start hate spanking into each others orifices and turned a functional desktop into a Rorschach test. That's how I mean. But- very recently they've stopped screwing around and started focusing on function over form. Which is good, but not good enough yet.
    1
  2989. No need to make a script, if you launch the command with the Alt + F2 thingie, it stays remembered. Just type in k and the rest will autofill. Or, you can make the command as an "app" with KDE's application editor. There are limitless ways to approach any issue
    1
  2990. For the refreshing thing, use the command "killall plasmashell && kstart plasmashell". I've been using KDE for more than 75% of my Linux time, and it works like a dream. Also, Kubuntu has the best KDE implementation in my opinion

I mean even more so, going through what seems like a bit of effort to compile a list and randomize it the way you did. Really cool. Honestly don't understand why it is various devs seems to give you a hard time (saw today's vid with your pinned comment), lol. I guess some people may spend so much time behind a keyboard that they lose the ability to have honest, meaningful, and constuctive interactions with actual human beings. So it goes. Thanks and congrats again, Dorian:)

  3010. "i'm Michael and my wife is Michael"! N.B. This only makes sense if you are a Monty Python (pie-thon) Flying Circus fan/fanatic. Congrats on achieving 1k sub's. I have watched your vid's from the outset and have seen your output improve over that time, keep it up please. It's a shame we never saw that 32 bit version of Scion you were hatching. It seems that the initial release of Ubuntu 18.04 is as poor as 16.04 initial release was, good ol' MX Linux has never let me down, I hope that is not a commentators curse. B-)

  3012. Big congrats. Your dedication is obvious and the subs will keep coming. I can sense this by utilizing The'Force', which by the way is powered by Linux. (although Linus almost lost the support contract when he refused to fork off the Kernel with proprietary drivers exclusive only to The 'Force'). I think a deal was finally cut, but I digress...Congrats DDS! 🎉🍾🍺🎂

  3016. Bravo. Will go update my system. Thanks for your actions. Command line updates, Synaptic updates, and panel icon updates are all good. Linux means flexible. Your efforts are appreciated.

  3017. Thanks for the great reply. Have been using it LIVE for now, but tomorrow I might do a full install in a partition on my laptop. Will try to stay up to date with progress.

  3018. Your very own distro. Cool. I like the name too. Reminds me of the Toyota Scion car models (wich never were available in the Netherlands bytheway). Looks very nice, the fonts looked blurry in the video, but I imagine you can set it on slight instead of full? And it needs a dark theme. Or is there an option in customization? But it's still a work in progress so it can only get better, I believe. Definately would give this a try, but Peppermint does everything I need and I tend to stick with what works. Good luck with it;)

  3019. Absolutely indeed, LOL I was used to use that 'apt-get' way last time :D
    1
  3020. As you've promised and keep up the good work. FYI : on the readme.txt page use 'apt' instead of 'apt-get', according to Debian and later Ubuntu described 'apt-get' is ol' school heheh :D another easy way 'apt update && upgrade' instead of 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade'

  3025. DorianDotSlash yeah I got it working with ‘sudo apt install open-vm-tools’ but when I play Spotify the audio crackles and basically crashes the OS. :/ it’s coming along though.

  3026. Trying 18.04 I first got a failed to retrieve error with openbox-gnome-session that nothing I did fixed, and on an install retry, selected Kubuntu Desktop instead and it installed fine, which is not what I originally intended, but which was painless enough. I have Arch running only Firefox for something really lean to grind through. Enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work.

  3028. Hi Doriran ,Thanks for nice video Please tell how can I install same linux image to all my desktops with one time efforts

  3029.  @Doriandotslash  Thanks so much! For some odd reason, the VirtualBoxGuestAdditions ISO wouldn't work. I installed "xrandr" but unfortunately the 1920x1080 resolution didn't come with it by default. I had to use a few commands to manually create a new resolution and then set it for the session. For all of you with the same problem, have a look on StackExchange and you'll get it. Thanks so much for the quick response and for pointing me to the right direction! Also a big thanks for this video, it was perfect for someone like me who is just starting out with Linux. Keep it up!

  3050. Cool backgrounds: https://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/downloads/date/any/ And bing.com for the picture of the day. With Firefox you can save them to use as background and without the Bing logo on it.

  3051. that is fine.

  3052. Really nice and approachable way of explaining things. If I were still an super green noob, I likely would have watched this who-knows-how-many-times, like I did with quite a few of TutoriaLinux's videos. Good job man:) Thanks! E:Just want to make clear that even though I may not be a noob doesn't mean that I am like above a beginner level tutorial. I don't care about that. I still love watching videos like these (fan of anything terminal ), especially when it's someone that is good conveying stuff. So yeah, just wanted to clear that up. Hope I didn't come off the other way lol. Have a good one:)
