  2. Learned more about Linux in the past 12 minutes here than in the past five videos made by others. Liked and subscribed. Thank you.

  3. 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.

  4. this is awesome, it actually teaches you how to do it from scratch

  5. The tactics on the website are so cringy and put me off trying it. I enjoyed listening to your points of view, thanks.

  6. 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.

  7. Great video! Simple and straightforward, the kind that I wish existed when I started on my Linux journey.
    48
  8. Arch is fun and Debian is reliable
    46
  9. Thanks for appearing in my recommended.
    45
  10. 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
  11. Linux is way easier to install than Windows, and my laptop from 2012 works great with it.
    43
  12. Great video as always, for us Linux noobs it's so damn useful!
    43
  13. Great video! Thank goodness for random YouTube Recommendations... they always know what I want lol
    43
  14. NixOS and Gobo Linux are two very interesting distributions indeed.
    43
  15. 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
  16. "Looking for the C drive" Me who installed it on pendrive 👁👄👁
    42
  17. I like how he is still actively reading comments to this day
    42
  18. Thanks for making this video, there aren't a lot covering NixOS so it's good to see some coverage about it!
    42
  19. It's the "linux" file system that predates the existence of linux by decades...
    40
  20. Optimus is really a pain in the neck.... what a lack of support linux users receive from nvidia and intel
    40
  21. NixOS: exists Dorian: I awake

  22. 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...

  23. 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)>

  24. 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
  25. I actually knew that bin was program files, mostly through android file exploration
    37
  26. 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
  27. Debian is fantastic. I had a Debian 9 VPS that ran for 5 years straight without any issues whatsoever. Rock solid stability.
    37
  28. 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
  29. 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
  30. 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
  31. 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
  32. 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
  33. 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
  34. Pop os 20.04 here
    32
  35. Well, thanks to your tutorial I now have my Gentoo system up and running. Thank you a lot.
    32
  36. When people complain that fedora is too vanilla, I tell them, look at this, this is Gentoo
    32
  37. Thank you, Dorian. I have always felt most comfortable with Debian family distros.
    31
  38. Love the unbranded look. May pick one up for my development work..
    31
  39. KDE is my favorite DE. Beautiful, complete, estable, customisable and functional.
    31
  40. Awesome informative tutorial for a new Linux user, thanks!!
    30
  41. 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
  42. 0:20 That feel is real.
    29
  43. Always like your video's Dorian. You always explain things very well.
    29
  44. 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.

  46. 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
  47. 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
  48. 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
  49. 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.

  50. 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.
