Hearted Youtube comments on Veronica Explains (@VeronicaExplains) channel.

  1. WHAT DO WE WANT? AWK VIDEO! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? When convenient... I appreciate these thoughtful videos and the hard work they represent.
    1100
  2. Remember, if it weren’t for Debian there would be absolutely NO Hannah Montana Linux. Always good to know where greatness begins

  3. I've been using Linux since the 90s and I'm just now learning about the column command.
    722
  4. You haven't convinced me to accept the broad range of human preferences in the world and get on with my life.
    560
  5. I had no idea there was such a thriving marketplace for iPod replacement parts! There's lots of similar parts out there for Nintendo Game Boys too.
    547
  6. As a woman I love seeing other women who talk about Linux! Honestly, you are the first woman who isn't paid by a linux distro that I've seen discuss Linux on Youtube. Thanks! I just subbed!
    486
  7. I like the vibe of these unscripted, but minimally edited videos. It's really nice!
    440
  8. COBOL isn't just a programming language, it's a lifestyle you never truly leave 😎 lol. But honestly I wish you luck in all your endeavors :)
    422
  9. I had never even heard of column, but I had this Bash script that spits out a long list of terms. As soon as i saw thumbnail and title of this video i added "| column" to my script execution and it was perfect. Now I will watch the video.

  10. Main developer and creator of this installer here, stumbled across your video just now and wanted to say that 11:32 - made me happy to hear and the excitement at 6:07 also cheered me up. Glad you loved the overall experience, if you haven't tried it yet the user experience should feel and look a lot better these days because we dropped an improved version of the TUI just after your video was made :) The current stable version has a few smaller bugs however and I'm about to release the next version in a few days. But the user interface is there to try if you wanna give it a go :) Anyways, keep up the good work!

  11. I'd been in mainframe IT for 35 years. The last time my contract was cut, I decided I was done with the corporate world. I was tired of being a number in a system that a Sr VP could cut so he could earn his bonus. I now sell Viking/Medieval clothing at medieval and renaissance faires across the country. WAY harder job, lot less money, but so much more satisfying.
    354
  12. Officially requesting that "Oh No! Am I going to have to do some work, Veronica?!" becomes a regular line in your show.
    325
  13. How about teaching us COBOL too? There's not a lot of high quality content about it out there, and there's definitely interest. I'd also be interested in Ada, and nobody's doing that either.
    311
  14. This is easily my favorite Linux channel, even when the videos are things I already kinda know, because Veronica never does clickbait titles and is generally calm and reasonable.
    299
  15. OMG a breath of fresh air! I'm a hard core Fedora user, but the best tool is always the one that works for you.
    275
  16. "It's my choice, and I made it" = good. The facial expression sending that point home = priceless
    275
  17. Debian and Arch are the future! 😊
    230
  18. I've been waiting a while for Veronica to give her take on this situation. Thank you for this.
    229
  19. I still use my ipod classic 120GB, 15 years later because I can store all of my music on it and not have to worry about a streaming service and everything that goes along with that... Knowing that I can get an SSD for it is a game changer
    228
  20. After a failed career in truck driving for too many weight violations, my friend Overload decided to take up programming. Although he was excited about the idea of operator overloading, it did not actually involve putting more stuff in a container than it was rated for. He was confused. He did not know what to do. He was ready to give up. His CDL would not be reinstated for another 120 days, so he could not go back to commercial driving, which was more in line with his comfort zone. At this point, programming was his only hope, but how was he going to grasp the concept of operator overloading? Well he came for me to help, which I was glad to provide. I led Overload to a set of C++ references that covered the concept in detail and provided examples for him to follow. He was able to keep his programming job and would not return to a life of DOT violations.
    221
  21. I can't explain how fast I rushed to Flathub when I found out 3D Pinball was available there
    216
  22. Admiral Shark here! Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad my site's content was helpful! It always means a lot to hear my work has helped someone.
    216
  23. "Who cares! It's my channel" This is why watching your videos is such a joy.
    195
  24. That t-shirt is a left-over from Halloween isn't it. It sure scares the hell out of me.
    189
  25. I'm a retired UNIX/Linux System Administrator (30+ years) and I find your content refreshing and more to the point very useful! Yeah there are newer and perhaps simpler commands, but knowing the basics is still very important. People would ask me why learn vi when there is nano for example. Because from AIX to (name your Linux distro) etc, you'll always have vi :) Thanks again for your hard work and keep keep doing what you're doing!
    184
  26. There is one thing that I feel that you missed mentioning. That is command-line tools and how they can work together using piping (i.e. the '|' character). And that is something that GUI programs can not do. And it is also part of the whole Unix ethos.
    179
  27. I'm watching this from a 2012 MBAir on Linux Mint. Works perfectly. I'm very happy with it.
    177
  28. As the old saying goes, "As long as you know which end of the screwdriver to hammer on, you'll be fine."
    164
  29. Arch always makes you learn stuff. Even during its installation. It taught me to read logs, to 'man' every command in terminal, taught me udev, taught me to explore sysfs stuff, taught me to only keep packages that I really need. It was hard in the beginning but you do come to understand your machine far better after all.
    160
  30. Woo! iPod video! And a pod from Free Geek Twin Cities, too! I'm the Apple department coordinator there, so on behalf of all of us at FGTC, thank you so much for all the shoutouts you've given us, and for helping keep this old tech alive and well. Every time I put a "project" iPod out in the store, I hope that someone's going to give it the kind of TLC you have, so it's really wonderful to see that in action.
    148
  31. This channel is awesome! Let me explain. Veronica has such an engaging presentation style, and I always learn a pantload from her videos. I love both the humor and the depth of knowledge. More, more! Btw, I like the new tee at 3:16, but I love the original "Linux is Awesome" tee better. So, I just ordered one. Can't wait to wear it!
    144
  32. It’s never a bad idea to update SSH keys regularly – even better when there is a more secure algorithm. 🙂
    140
  33. I never thought as an IT person I'd enjoy watching a video on a printer. My entire life has been a lie.
    130
  34. Yes, please do a deeper dive into Mastodon! I see lots of folks that have no idea what Mastodon is all about, and what the advantages are over other social networks (no ads, no algorithm, etc.) I think a video in your easy-going style would go a long way towards easing people's fears and uncertainties. P.S. Thanks again for the video on Barrier, I use it every day with my iMac and Linux laptop and love it!
    128
  35. 23:02 small miracle that modern itunes still supports iPod
    128
  36. Keeping up with the Commodore would be a reality show I would actually watch
    127
  37. Hello Verónica, I'm from a small country called Uruguay in South America. I discovered your channel a while ago, and I loved the way you communicate and explain topics. I'm not a programmer or anything like that; I work in the field of cybersecurity. Nevertheless, all the topics you've covered on your channel have interested me. I really like the vintage-tech style you bring to the videos. I'm very glad that you've been able to take the step of doing what you love, because, after all, in the little time we have on this Earth, that's what we should do. I promise to watch all the videos you upload to support making this your lifelong job. Sending you a hug and congratulations.
    120
  38. You have a strong on-camera presence and a great voice! So happy you took the dive into youTube!
    119
  39. I love these episodes. Retro computing is interesting.
    112
  40. I like the part where veronica says "its explaining time" and explains all over the place
    107
  41. Vent.. uring into the realm of YouTube brilliance, this video stands out with its remarkable creativity and captivating storytelling.
    107
  42. (Adam from Free Geek here) Thank you so much for taking the time to interview us. This is good legislation that will hopefully receive a few tweaks in the future.
    103
  43. Couple years ago, I was given 10 chromebooks to install Linux to from my teacher. I tried contacting the school board to request the enterprise enrolment to be removed from them but then I found the mrchromebox firmware and with a USB eeprom programmer, had them all booting into linux in no time. The chromebooks then went onto serve the class once again!
    98
  44. You rock our world, Veronica. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise... AND for the inspiration and the laughs. Your skills and your irreverent and DFWM attitude is always a delight (see: the "meeting you halfway..." parenthetical comment. Perfect!) Be well! xoxo, Allen & Mike 😍👍
    93
  45. "The manual is angry at you for needing it!" That is a classic line, and as someone who teaches a course in technical writing for product documentation, I hereby confess I MUST steal this line for when I teach the course again later this month!!
    92
  46. I love this video. First Linux experience was 5 months ago after getting pretty drunk (I mean not that drunk) and installed Fedora workstation for fun. Probably the best after drunk experience in my life
    91
  47. I didn't know column did JSON output, thank you! (puts on seal costume) AWK AWK AWK AWK! An awk series from you would be great.
    88
  48. LED Overload! I've always had a soft spot for Mint, it's one of those distro's that seems to focus on getting the job done. I've started to poke around at the LMDE version just for funsies. You mentioned running Debian Sid in the video, and I'd be curious to see a comparison of Stable v Testing v Unstable branches of Debian...
    88
  49. Oggs were meant to be saved
    85
  50. 10 points for btop
    85
  51. Using that Fender pick to remove the NVMe cover is peak awesomeness.
    83
  52. Linux Mint is my daily driver on most of my PCs but I use Pop!_OS on my 2011 Macbook Pro because I felt the elegant aluminum Apple hardware needed something with a bit more graphical flair. Silly reason, I know, but it works for me.
    81
  53. I LOVE my iPod. I restored it, also, and have thousands of my favorite songs - no notifications, no temptation to open TikTok, and no doom scrolling. I put bulk podcasts and audiobooks on it as well. This video was so fun!
    81
  54. Very cool! Changes are scary, I know! I can feel it in your speech (even you’re never saying it clearly)… and I’m very glad you’ve taken that step tho. I hope – even believe – you’re gonna be very happy with your decision. Since I’ve been following your Web content production, I can say that’s “YOU.” Good luck, and go for it!! 🤗 Reach and help everyone you can.
    79
  55. I think Disney is releasing Toy Story films at the same rate that Debian releases stable versions, so I'm not that worried.
    78
  56. All of the Ventoy Bros are wrong - the REAL best way to install an operating system is by booting over the network using a NAS. Why limit yourself to 128GB of Linux ISOs when you can have P E T A B Y T E S But seriously, another great video from Linux Mom :D I'm partial to the 'dd' method myself - something something "console master race get off my lawn".
    77
  57. I’m one of the builders of this OSCR and I just wanted to say thank you so much for the kind words and visibility for this project! We’re so glad you’re enjoying it! You did such an excellent job of covering what an OSCR is in this video; I’ll definitely be sharing it whenever somebody wants to know more about what I’m working on. 😊
    76
  58. Thank you for another video cutting through the noise and just telling us “how to do it.” I’m cloning my laptop to an ISO right now so I have a backup.
    76
  59. "Just enough PERL to be dangerous" sounds like a description of an entire generation of low key hackers and should be the name of your album if you release one haha.
    75
  60. It's good to fix old tech if you have the skills to do it. Great job Veronica.
    75
  61. BAND.
    72
  62. I'm so happy I subscribed to this channel. Love the content.
    69
  63. Reading all these comments makes me wanna NOT use Ventoy.
    67
  64. Man this channel is the coolest. From the 90s educational programming esthetics to the useful Linux tips to the retro fanatics. Creativity in its purest form, beautiful.
    66
  65. I have many wonderful memories using my C64 in the 80's. I had just about every accessory you could get for it. My hobby then and now is astronomy. I would write my own software for recording my observations and photography sessions and store them to a floppy. I still have all those today even the nightly observations of Halley's comet in 85/86. Loved that little computer.
    65
  66. Well this is weird. I was looking up how to clone my Linux drive yesterday. Here you are delivering the content I need
    64
  67. I love it that you just used Super Mario to lure people into the world of Vim! I use Emacs but largely with evil-mode because I nearly destroyed my hands using the standard Emacs key-bindings on a model-m keyboard. Modal editing can do wonders for your RSI.
    63
  68. Thank you for close captioning your videos, and not just using the auto-generated ones. This means a lot to the deaf community!
    61
  69. What happens when they run out of Toy Story characters to name their releases after? 🤣
    60
  70. I hope your channel grows, Veronica. 100K soon enough.
    59
  71. Very well said and I agree 100%. I've been slowly moving my machines back to community distros for years now and this just confirms my mindset. Thanks
    59
  72. Right? It's a hidden gem of a command.
    56
  73. It's a good day when there's a new video from Veronica!
    52
  74. I'm a support engineer at Oracle for the KVM based Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager (OLVM) product and I found this very interesting. Thanks you for taking the time to make this video.
    52
  75. awk? Yes, please!
    50
  76. I liked the video. It looks like it took you more than a day to do it. This demonstrates your commitment to your community and to the task of offering us the best or at least the most complete analysis of your experience. I just want to say, thank you for this.
    49
  77. First! I kinda like the new-ish trend of forgoing "convenience/comfort" for aesthetics, kinda ethics and the coolness factor. I can't wait for pagers to make a comeback half ironically. Love your videos btw!
    49
  78. I prefer `find | xargs grep` because it executes grep one time across all the found files instead of executing a separate grep for each file as find -exec would do. find | xargs grep is often an order of magnitude faster when grepping a lot of files. EDIT: OK I wrote the above before I finished watching the video! And I see the the '+' form of exec does effectively the same thing. Wow I learned something new after using find daily for about 25 years. Thanks!
    48
  79. As a 60year old man I am trying to understand more of Linux. I find the videos that you do very helpful. So thanks a lot !!
    48
  80. Any day with a new Veronica Explains video is a good day. I'm a huge fan of archinstall; I think it encourages more people to try Arch, and that probably leads to an overall better user experience. I'd love a video on btrfs if that's possible!
    48
  81. "Depress the return key?" OK. "Hey, return key! You will never be good enough for your makers to love you!"
    46
  82. Some product manager just loaded this into their llm to create a new manual
    45
  83. I like the choice of books holding the laptops up!
    45
  84. I have horrible news: I think the N64 is probably “vintage computing” now. So… this is more channel appropriate than we may want to believe.
    44
  85. Educational level of your videos is truly astonishing. Absolutely loving almost each and every video you made!
    43
  86. I've used the Fedora Xfce spin since version 28 with no real problems to speak of. I still have it on my backup laptop (in a dual boot with Windows so I can do my taxes once a year), but I moved my primary machine to Debian 11 Xfce (with the non-free network installer) because the constant kernel updates became tedious for me. (And I'm 75 and all those new-fangled things like btrfs make me nervous.) I have VS Code installed on both distros and it works the same, although language versions (e.g., go) are usually newer on Fedora. I added the VSCode repo to get it. I always enjoy your your videos, Veronica. Cheers from Wisconsin.
    42
  87. <-- This Linux n00b appreciates these Lil' Linux Lessons. This Amiga veteran appreciates the Workbench 1.3 cameo as well. ;)
    41
  88. XFCE just released version 4.20. Blaze it up!
    41
  89. I appreciate that you used official documentation! I don't like when people have vague instructions etc, so this was super pleasant!
    41
  90. You've done an outstanding job explaining the unexplainable. And it's great to see you're doing really cool stuff with your setup. Best wishes from a former c64 scener (I ran one of the most acclaimed C*Base BBSes on a c128d with 100MB SCSI HD, 6MB Ramlink, Swiftlink, 56k modem in the mid 90s). I hear that my gear is still used today by someone to run a telnet-enabled scene BBS.
    41
  91. I feel like I won a prize just watching you videos. I'm glad you'd never spam us with Telegram.
    40
  92. I've been missing these videos, with our favourite Debian supporter!
    39
  93. Holy Crap! 30+ years in this business and I just learned about '+' as an argument to find. How much of my life have I wasted to \; ?! Thanks Veronica! You're frickin' awesome!
    38
  94. Arguments? That sounds like something I used to have on social media.
    38
  95. I've been a Linux Mint user for years. You hit the nail on the head when you said, "People just want to use their computers." How true! If I could get MS Office to run on Linux Mint, I could switch my company over to Linux Mint exclusively.
    37
  96. I love this! I miss the spirit of the 90s web too. We had so much fun back in the day. These days it's a different kind of adventure.
    37
  97. Veronica and people like her make the world a great place to live on.
    36
  98. When I saw this, I thought it was going to be click-baity, but damn, was I impressed with this process! Anyone who might not be familiar with booting something on a phone might think it's kind of obvious, but the level of automation in this is next level. Cool stuff, I'll look more into GrapheneOS!
    36
  99. I like this short form. Great for filling an idle 5 minutes.
    35
  100. I just saw a post on Lemmy yesterday about restoring an old iPod, with a clear case and new SSD. I was wondering where you could get parts for this and how it was done... Then Veronica posts a new video explaining everything. What a coincidence!
    35
  101. A short video, without being a YT Short. I like this much better because you can't cast a Short and I'm not always watching on my phone.
    34
  102. I liked that ThinkPad. You can replace the WiFi module, the HDD/SDD, and the memory sticks. Congratulations for the price and the choice! As a device name, you could call this new laptop Amelia, in honor of Amelia Earhart (famous American pilot). As you will be using this device as a test pilot for distros and other works, I think it's a fair name.
    34
  103. Fantastic content. You are a very cool person! Glad to see people still keeping the flame of this era alive.
    33
  104. It is a gloomy rainy day today but thanks for making it better. 😀
    33
  105. Oh cool! I've actually been wishing lately that we would go back to using more single purpose devices. I kind of think that if the Internet was only accessible on desktop computers, and we used PDAs for organizing our lives, mp3 players for music, and cell phones just for text and calls, we might be better off than we are. I worry the constant companionship of smartphones makes us way too susceptible to the post-truth meme-fueled hellscape we seem intent on building.
    32
  106. I used Sid for some couple of years on my laptop with unattended-upgrades running every day. In that period of time, I learned to repair all sorts of things that can break in Debian. That was valuable time. Now I'm back on stable or testing in some cases.
    32
  107. Nice job on being ahead of the gnome pronunciation questions, lol. Though I'm a wm user, I look forward to seeing what they come up with. DWM is nice, and bspwm is surprisingly cosy.
    32
  108. "Columnize"? "Columnify"? Either way you've made a columnizer out of me.
    32
  109. You bring an interesting new flavor of videos in this tech-y linux area of youtube, and I much appreciate your work! Getting some merch eventually
    32
  110. Hello! I watched your Commodore 64 online video recently and it helped a lot to get my C128 online, so thank you!
    31
  111. Cobol is still the base for many large applications of today in large companies. Young IT people don't want to learn it any more so there's plenty of opportunities to make a good living out of it. I programmed for 40 years mainly in cobol and assembly and not only maintenance but also new programs so all that code is there to stay for many more years. Good luck with your new challenge 👍
    31
  112. Not related specifically to `cd`, but using Alt-. (hold alt, tap period) is fantastic when navigating the shell. If I've just done `mkdir -p /some/long/path/name`, I can then go to the newly created directory by typing `cd ` , pressing Alt-. to insert the last word of the last command, and then enter. If it's from several commands ago, I just keep pressing Alt-. Then there's also `pushd .` and `popd` if you wanna get fancy.
    31
  113. Love SSH... fast, secure, can do file transfers easily multiple ways... and can trivially be centrally managed with a key server. That might be an idea for a vid too: Key servers. Edited to add: I mean e.g. LDAP vs universal key managers vs simple inotify to copy pub keys to servers that kind of thing. More than one way to skin SSH. :)
    31
  114. Veronica, the time you spend explaining concepts without assuming I have a high level of knowledge on them, and also not being patronizing about it is really pleasant. As is your positive approach to things. Having you, Taylor, and Amy together is just an absolute delight.
    30
  115. Around 1989 or so my Buddy had a Commodore 64 and when he showed me you could send a "letter" by hooking the thing up to the phone line, it blew my mind. I was only 9 years old and it was my first experience using a computer beyond games or "educational programs". At the time we couldn't even imagine we'd be watching people make their own "TV Shows" on a computer monitor.
    30
  116. "Imagine if Microsoft shipped you a entire extra processor just to run Excel" reminds me that while you can now use Python (alongside VBA) in Excel, that code has to execute on Azure. 🤦‍♂️ Anyway, happy V-Day! V stands for Veronica in my book!
    29
  117. "The printer has a little grippy bit" Yes, this is the technical term for the paper feed. Great video!!!
    29
  118. Ventoy often does not work with latest version of the ISOs. Those options are far more easier for a noob. Also, Ventoy does have a bad support for secure boot, while the ISOs, when burned directly, often support it. I understand her.
    28
  119. Your no nonsense explanations are great!
    28
  120. The local feed is, IMO, the "killer app" of Mastodon. It really does feel like a BBS. I've also been telling my friends that ask to stick to an instance that sounds interesting, but in the end that don't matter cuz you can just move if you find a better one or a more interesting one!
    28
  121. I've been using Linux since 1996 and have never used the column command - thank you, this looks really useful! As for the COBOL output to JSON using column, I like it a lot - it reminded me of my younger days of using perl scripts as glue between two systems that vendors said were compatible out of the box (a lie).
    27
  122. You GOTTA do a video about your editing workflow. This is a very well made and incredibly well edited video. Would love to see a video about encryption. Mainly risks involved in encrypting it and what would happen to my data in case my OS fucks up etc. I've seen everyone recommending it but not sure what happens in case my OS fucked up my drive or in case my hard disk fails -- does data recovery become harder with encryption ? Timeshift video might also be nice
    27
  123. As someone who was "cool" in the mid-nineties, I appreciate the spacehog based puns.
    27
  124. "Verbosity" is such a great word. Very underrated.
    26
  125. I'm glad you are feeling better Veronica. It's good to have you back!
    26
  126. 5:27 For such a bright, sunny personality, you are the queen of dirty looks . Love this vid. Thanks for all you do. I tell all my friends: "Linux is awesome, and so is Veronica!"
    26
  127. I like how you pick more basic tools to not bog down the video with "you could also do this x y or z way" I havent used clonezilla in a long time, this was a nice refresher. I briefly used Acronis for work (because the boss said so) until I set up a FOG Project server and migrated our images into it (waaaay beyond the scope for your videos). Home stuff I'm too lazy to keep an ISO around and dd into gzip from whatever live iso i have in the moment for image backups.
    26
  128. I would love a BSD vs Linux (or even more generally Unix vs Linux).... Manjaro XfCE here btw.
    25
  129. Congratulations! I know you'll continue to be a smashing success. 🙏
    25
  130. Hi Veronica! Great stuff as always.
    25
  131. I'm very happy for you, Veronica. I wish you all the best in your new endeavors, and I look forward to seeing more frequent videos from you in the future. 🎉
    25
  132. We have forgotten how amazing computers are.
    24
  133. I’ve been in into systems engineering for the last 15 years, and dammit, i can confirm, this Girl rocks! She clearly knows exactly the best practices and workarounds… another excellent video. I would appreciate to work with someone like you.
    24
  134. I thought the main attraction of Arch was the learning process of doing the traditional install. When/if I test it on one of my machines I'll do the fun, slow, step-by-step with the wiki open on the side, like you mentioned. As for naming the machine: Veronica + Arch(ie) leads back to both the old internet programs (using your-neck-of-the-woods gopher protocols) and the even older comic books, so maybe something like Jughead or Betty or Reggie?
    23
  135. Excellent video! Love your sense of humor and presentation style.
    23
  136. Nice columnded(?) lyrics in the back :) Thanks Veronica...
    23
  137. I was brave enough once, to try the install the arch way. Realized I had not picked and installed what's needed for a minimal DE, and bailed. Ran Manjaro for a couple years and now I'm a fan of Arco-Linux. The installer has come a long way, thank you for sharing!
    23
  138. The fun part is finding anagrams of various argument combination. I.e. ls -halt
    22
  139. This morning I watched the Youtubers panel on the VCFMW channel, and if I understand correctly that was thanks to you for saving the day with your recording of the event! Thanks!
    22
  140. My first linux experience was OpenSUSE + KDE when I was 12, got that from one of the tech magazine CDs. That looked like the future at that time, but I was a kid, had some video games, so I had to multiboot with a heavy heart, but I never stopped booting to linux whenever I was not playing.
    22
  141. Didn’t need to watch this video as I knew Balena and Rufus already, but glad I did coz I came to know about two additional tools if they are ever needed
    22
  142. I'm not even a beginner yet, but I am very fond of how patiently you balance an understanding of newcomers with anticipatory snark towards splainers who have validation issues! You've helped me make some choices about what I'll be exploring on my old MacBook's Linux partition, and I thank you.
    21
  143. I have a Blu-ray drive on my computer. And I will keep it operational and never discard.
    21
  144. I remember trying Manjaro i3 a few days after switching to Linux, and oh boy did it make me cry! I got so frustrated that I uninstalled it. Less than a year later I went back to it, after having gained some experience with tiling windows from the Pop Shell extension in Gnome. The second time with i3 wasn't that bad! Nowadays I use i3 exclusively! So, please, moar i3 content! :D
    20
  145. I've been watching Veronica's videos since the 90s and I sure got to say you are in the right place for this type of info
    20
  146. Greetings from Kazakhstan, very nice video Veronica. My good friend Al Sneed just sent me your video. He is a Arch fan and has tried to convince me for years to install it. Now with your video I can see how easy it is to install it, even a city slicker like me can install it. Thank you for you video.
    20
  147. Absolutely love this type of content. Was running rainbow stream for a while to have a twitter feed in terminal. Huge supporter of old school terminals accomplishing modern tasks.
    20
  148. I don't normally comment basically ever on Youtube because it can make me very nervous about what I say and how it might be taken (I'm autistic, which can result in misunderstandings here and there), but I don't get these Ventoy Bros (I mean, I use Ventoy, but honestly, who cares what you use, as long as it works) while she says in the video she's gonna do a vid on Ventoy.
    20
  149. Love this video - so useful! More of this type of content, please :)
    20
  150. Even if I recommend ways that does not include terminal for newcomers, I always find myself in terminal for even simple stuff. I think eventually everyone who passes the basic learning curve will use the terminal.
    19
  151. I remember learning basic programming in high school on a Radio Shack model TRS-80 computer. Gosh this brings back memories. I used to go to the Radio Shack store in the mall and write programs on their display models of the TRS-80. I got chewed out a couple of times for doing it by the manager who didn't see that what I was doing was simply writing a simple interactive program to get potential customers interested in the computer by simply asking them their name and introducing the computer to them then telling them for more information talk to the sales person. Oh well, I was a teenager and just having fun. Used to play games on a friends Commodore 64 too. Love the content so pls keep it up.
    19
  152. My sister-in-law is getting into IT and Linux (mostly to get into IT) and she was looking at me like a psychopath because of my workflow. I tried to make it clear that it was that way because... that's what I knew and I liked. Doesn't mean it has to be yours (with some exceptions, she'll have to become friendly with the terminal in IT). Thanks for this video, and now that I think about it I'm going to send some of your other videos to her. Thanks for doing what you do!
    19
  153. I was a certified Commodore repair tech back in the 80's. At Commodore training in Pa. I spoke with the lead tech about their competition, and he explained that his company was focused on their current marketing through department stores. That's how they sold millions. It was the best product for that price range. I spent many years repairing them. The floppy drives always needed realignment though. Thanks for the memories. Cheers!
    19
  154. I just did a big PC upgrade for a friend of mine and it blew his mind that everything on the new PC was exactly as he left it. Clonezilla always makes the process incredibly simple and quick. A lot of non-technical users just assume that something like this isn't possible.
    19
  155. This was so timely-I was just looking for my space bar this morning.
    18
  156. This whole internet website thing is still just a fad and will fizzle out any day now.
    18
  157. Well done! I learned a lot. Column will definitely get added to my list of frequently used commands.
    18
  158. Congrats to you. It’s always best to love what you do and who you work with. I wish you the best of luck on your journey! I’d love to see you talk about mixing music creation and tools to facilitate it on Linux. I’m a Linux user as well as learning piano (on a digital piano) and don’t know anything about the tools Linux has to work with.
    18
  159.  @VeronicaExplains  I feel a little guilty that I did it on purpose. 😁
    17
  160. You're right, you have to know the basics first before going any further. Speaking of the basics, I'd find it interesting to explain file permissions on Linux. Maybe in a next video? Thanks to you .👍
    17
  161. When I read on Patreon that you were playing around with some Chromebooks, I immediately went to my step daughter's room to find her old Chromebook from high school. An ASUS C202S with the big thick blue rubber bezel going around the whole thing. I had a blast getting coreboot working and Mint XFCE. Albeit the device is slow and I had to use a flash drive to store /usr and /home since the eMMC filled up rather quick, this is one of my favorite machines to use now since the keyboard is great. This is a fantastic use of these devices. So glad you back the MrChromebox and Chultrabook community. Good peoples.
    17
  162. I got my first computer in 2006 (it was an old Pentium even by those standards) but learning about the older technology is so fascintaing. I feel nostalgic about the times I never experienced...
    17
  163. Great videos Veronica! Funny and entertaining. Ubuntu is responsible for bringing so many people over to Linux.
    17
  164. That's a bossy video!
    17
  165. babe wake up new Veronica Explains video just released
    17
  166. Just wanted to thank you so much for the superb captions, especially the descriptions of your laughs. much appreciated!
    17
  167. I'm predicting that a lot of components are going to be classified as "trade secrets" in order to skirt the law. I really hope I'm wrong. :( But I agree 100%, the fight isn't over, there's still much more work to do. Thank you for putting out this excellent video - the more public awareness we can get on the Right To Repair issue, the better!
    16
  168. You're right! Those option are perfect for beginner Linux users... Ventoy it's good for IT or distro hoppers, i used balena at the beginning, but now i'm using Ventoy, but still... i wouldn't suggest Ventoy to beginner!
    16
  169. I was an early Mac 128 user and have used nearly EVERY model over the years.... but one time I had the first Amiga .... it was pretty amazing....... ahead of it's time
    16
  170. Great video, Veronica! Thank you very much. I once cloned a drive to another with smaller size using the parameter -r included in the expert mode of Clonezilla. Sorry for my english. Greetings!
    16
  171. I love that example. It reminds me of the Buick our family had. We had an 8 track to tape adaptor that we plugged a tape to 2.5 adaptor into and hooked that into a CD player. :face-blue-smiling:
    16
  172. "Only a woman would choose nano" If I knew this way back when in 2012, I'd start transitioning much earlier! :D Religious wars suck. I didn't care about the whole Vim vs Emacs debacle and used nano, still do! Distro? I used Fedora (that was the workplace policy back then), I use Debian on my personal systems, I also sometimes use Mint and recommend it to regular users. Rock on, fellow nerd! :)
    16
  173. As someone that was a teenager in the later 90s and early 00s, I decree that guestbooks, Geocities, and 56K modems are the cornerstones of early web surfing. Thanks for that nostalgia trip!
    16
  174. I've set up three SSH servers this year and I watch this video every time. Thanks for making a comprehensive guide!
    16
  175. Lovely edutainment video! Thank you for creating content like this.
    16
  176. "and VIM has broke my brain" ... YES VIM will do that. that's why i use nano ....Glad folks still like VIM :)
    15
  177. Speaking as a man who started working on storage devices with a CDC 16 million word drive (the type with 5 platters), I used a terminal of some kind since the very beginning. Not being able to use a terminal is like having to use a calculator because you can't add numbers on paper. A person needs to know just want they are TRULY doing when they drag and drop. The terminal isn't just a way to do things, it's a way to understand things. BTW.... I think your approach to explaining things is about the best on youtube. Clear and concise.
    15
  178. so true! UEFI/gpt and dos, had no idea what any of that stuff was. installed arch tons of times with Qemu and I've learned so much!
    15
  179. Air Supply - brings back memories. Memories of terrible live concert experiences where I sacrificed my music sensibility for a girlfriend.
    15
  180. dont save that ogg
    15
  181. Good god. Like wow. Didn't know ventoy community is like this. Honestly the comments are kind of creeping me out.
    15
  182. Damn, pitching out other channels is great! but also adding those in the description as well is a sign you are the best!! This channel is pure gold. The topics you cover are not my everyday needs but the most useful when I'm in trouble, which would be my everyday if not for you. Also the script is clear and well delivered, good amounts of comedy and plenty of well researched information distilled with great filmmaking and awesome animations. In any case, I'll recommend this channel as an example of how to do things properly. Even the captions are corrected! Great effort, great results. Thanks for sharing.
    14
  183. Love the editing in this video, the new intro rocks aswell!
    14
  184. Absolutely want more info on loading things into the C64! Especially the Pi 1584
    14
  185. I'd love to watch any honest person argue about how this could be illegal. Romerriffic episode! Always the best!
    14
  186. Love the TLDR right after 5 seconds 😀
    14
  187. Love your videos, having a woman talking about Linux and vintage computers is really inspiring
    14
  188. Veronica, you took me back to the 80s/90s when I spent about 13 years working with Wyse50 terminals and various versions of UNIX/Xenix/HP-UX. I did field support for a multi-national in Latin America, setting up UNIX systems, modems, etc. Burnt my fingers soldering cables lots of times making serial cables :) The Wyse terminal's programmable function keys were a real revelation to me and I made good use of them to speed up data entry. I ended up traveling with short serial cables which converted from DB-9 to DB-25 or DB-15, male to female, female to female, etc because I never knew what I would meet in a particular country. And, of course, different systems had different pinouts, so I would always need to have photocopies of the pinouts for each system. There's a wonderful book called the C programmer's guide to serial communications by Joe Campbell which goes into wonderful detail about anything and everything to do with serial communications, the ASCII character set, the various protocols, UARTs, modems and all kind of serial stuff. This used to be my life on a daily basis. One would think that using these terminals would limit productivity, but I remember having 100 users on a HP PA-RISC system with a 48MHz CPU, 64MB RAM and nobody ever complained about speed. We ran everything on that system - email, word processing, spreadsheets, database applications, program development, etc. Those old systems were remarkably efficient and productive. For heads down data entry, there was nothing faster than a green screen terminal. You never moved your hands from the keyboard to click a mouse, so you could get up to high speeds for data entry. I've even seen people punch data faster than the screens could keep up without losing their rhythm, which looks like magic the first time you see it.
    13
  189. Been listening to SoMa FM since 2006. Groove Salad, Beat Blender, Lush... all good stuff.
    13
  190. Return of the mac! Good idea getting an expert on the CRT you might only get to make mistakes with the coils once
    13
  191. Thanks for the shout-out! I will be spending the next year writing the user guide/manual for my HyperCard text adventure game and game editor. It's a labor of love.
    13
  192. I know this is going to be a gross comparison, but we all use different TP. It's whatever works for you. I watch your videos to learn and because I like your videos
    13
  193. What a beautiful machine 🥲 I think the black case looks SUPER good.
    13
  194. An old web series would be awesome! Also the Comment Bin had me HOWLING 🤣🤣🤣
    12
  195. Exactly what I needed from the Fedora universe. I can't bring myself to get on Gnome. Thanks for the review, Veronica.
    12
  196. I would love to see the server version and network storing.
    12
  197. This was a great addition to your Linux for Absolute Beginners series! I'd love to hear you explain the Linux file system and its various conventions/pitfalls from the POV of a seasoned sysadmin. Most beginners would be inclined to just let Mint install everything to a single partition, but what about the intrepid beginners who want to learn the system and do a more traditional install with manual/guided partitioning of /, home, var, swap, and tmp? Any recommendations on how much to assign to each partition for a desktop user versus a home server?
    12
  198. I love my old zune that I modded, its all the music I like and OWN
    12
  199. Awesome video Veronica! Thank you for taking the time to capture the show. I'll bet dollars to donuts that VCF will be asking you to be on the YT creators panel next year 🙂
    12
  200. I just bought two HDDs for this very purpose. Thank you Veronica
    12
  201. I truly appreciate the quality of the captions here as well. Came across your channel (from this video) and as a Deaf dev, attention to detail in every area is highly respected and truly appreciated! I also love how clearly you explain without “zoom cuts” and all the trendy actions YouTubers are accustomed to using in their video editing pipeline which makes it harder for me to pay attention (I can only read the captions and look at the content being shown, after all). Keep doing the great work and I hope to create content as good as yours! Cheers.
    12
  202. I haven’t ever heard anyone talk through how to close nano before. My muscle memory for that process is so strong I forgot that you set the name of the file before the program exits.
    12
  203. ❤ Veronica thank you so much. I was co-sysop myself of “The Quarter Mile BBS” and I ran it remote. My friend Fred was hosting the computer in his house. It was the first BBS in the Glades. And we offered Fidonet networking. You explained it all so well! My first PC was a C-64 in 1982. We used an ad logo “The Quarter Mile bbs, the other alternaltive” This is the best explanation of a C-64 on youtube channel. Thank you again! Yes we restricted users for 15 minutes. Then if they upload files, we will offer them credit minutes. Our BBS used Searchlight BBS platform by Frank Larosa You brought emotions of nostalgia to my heart. Those were the golden days. With fidonet we even connected soldiers on the war of Irak in 1991. The BBS was disconnected in 1993. Sadly the Internet took over. I also still own a C-64 original, Amiga 500, 600 and 1200 Greetings from Wellington, Florida
    12
  204. Cool, I love Improv!
    11
  205. I've installed Arch using the archinstall script back in May 2021 and from what I could tell it looks like a bit has changed since then. I've also tried installing Arch manually and I always seemed to run into trouble, i ended up using the archinstall and it made things a heck of a lot more easier. I also have a thinkpad but it currently has ubuntu on it, i might just update my boot drive with the latest arch and do a fresh install again! Thanks for the awesome video!
    11
  206. Rescuezilla is easier to use, but Clonezilla can be burned onto a CD-R. This is especially helpful when copying an older computer that doesn't recognize USB devices (or even has a USB port). You'll just need to internally connect that 2nd drive to copy to before booting up.
    11
  207. This was fun! I'm glad I found your channel. A friend and I will be setting up a computer with Arch the manual way, while drinking a few beers. We're both Linux nerds, so it should be fun. Also, I saw you're a Pop user and I'm wondering what you think of Linux Mint? I switched to Mint recently and quite love it.
    11
  208. "Come on! Who threw that? Who threw that stone? Come on. -- Go to the back. -- Always one, isn't there? Now, where were we?" 😜🤣😂
    11
  209. Great video, looking forward to the grep episode as well. Are you keeping up with the Commodore?
    11
  210. I was also pulling apart a donated Acer Chromebook manufactured in 2020 and end of life in 2022. Two years?? Then scrap heap?? Nope. Not if I can save it! Then Blam! Veronica Explains is right in the feed. Awesome timing, Veronica. You have save me from hours of connecting dots. Also, I will have to look at PeerTube as YT is creeping on me a bit much. 😂
    11
  211. Veronica Explains why it's OK to use LCDs with vintage PCs
    11
  212. Debian rocks! It’s my goto for servers and any machine where I care about stability and consistency.
    11
  213. Hi Veronica. I'm a Linux Mint 20.3 user and I can say Warpinator works pretty well. Sorry for my Windows-er friends who must turn to some unofficial port :-)
    11
  214. I LOVE the idea of ROM files and saving save files. This is NECESSARY for game archiving and gaming history.
    11
  215. And I also agree with putting Ventoy for another video. Its scope goes way beyond booting an ISO from a flashdrive; although is good to know it and it may come handy for some specific situations, it's simply not needed by most. PS Too much screaming about Ventoy is giving me reasons to avoid it --just creepy. There seems to be something really broken behind those comments.
    11
  216. I wonder (have been for a little while) what's the story behind the COBOL gigs. How did somebody get into that in modern times?
    11
  217. I love how you cite your sources in the correct format by including the date and stuff. Very cool. I happen to have two PS/2 models M’s. One made in May 1987 and the other made in 1992/1993. I use one and have been keeping the other as spare parts, but now I may try and offload one so I can spring (punny) for a Unicomp version. I can’t imagine it would be substantially different.
    10
  218. “Generally calm and reasonable” 🤣 Made me laugh for some reason I can’t explain..
    10
  219. Props for the “use traditional, not some special package” comment. I use a variety of current and historical UNIXes (mostly MacOS), that may not have it for a variety of reasons. I can count on `ls` being there!
    10
  220. Wow! Thanks for taking me back to my teen years. I had a C64 and a C128. I ran a BBS back in the day. Retro Gaming nostalgia. I met a lot of friends that I still have till this day. Good times, good times. Great job explaining.
    10
  221. Guh-nome, Mah-tay. Thank you for correctly pronouncing these. Makes my day.
    10
  222. The way you held and threw that disk hurt me deep in my bones
    10
  223. Hearing someone refer to the command key as the Open-Apple key unlocked a whole bunch of memories! I remember teaching my fourth grade friends what copy and paste was, and them chanting "Open-Apple X, Open-Apple C, Open-Apple V, V, V!" like a rap song 😂 must have been around 2004. The school had a room crammed with Bondi blue iMacs loaded up with the At Ease launcher (to stop people like me from missing with the settings... I used to get around it anyway 😅) and a bunch of edutainment games!
    10
  224. I have connected to the "net" via various routes. My own homemade wifi modem (esp8266), the ultimate 2 via ethernet etc etc BUT could never get my RR net cart configured. Thanks to this video I have managed it (using contiki partially) - a big thanks for that!
    10
  225. I recently ran deb for about 3 years but started having issues with screen sharing in zoom meetings for school. I could get it fixed but then zoom would update and it would break again. I switched up to pop os, and while the update intervals are the inverse, everything just works. Which for my school needs is very important. Right tool for the job.
    10
  226. I enjoy so much how much commentary and opinion you sneak into the video in the background. Please keep being awesome and making awesome stuff!
    10
  227. Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Love your channel ! Very informative and entertaining !
    10
  228. Hi Veronica, great video! I subbed a while back, but this is the first time I've seen this series - and it prompted me to support your Patreon. I've been a Linux dabbler for a long time but without enough persistence to get deep into it, and this short-form dive is a good tool for me to gradually build my knowledge. Thanks again!

  229. I remember selling the C64 which at the time literally was selling itself. It was a huge step up from from the Commodore VIC 20. 😁
    9
  230. When you said that you prefer systemd over init, I felt a disturbance in the force, like a dozen of people all screamed at once.
    9
  231. My dad laughed at 1:56 He remembers when that was new. And, connecting AS/400s to RS/6000s to convert data as programs were being converted to C
    9
  232. It's Tangara time!
    9
  233. 4:48 .. I can relate to this , I actually do have them memorized but rather than stress even after all these years I still setup my own tldr for quick reference . If working multi platform that does become a bit much to remember, the official tldr has the -p option so you can specify the platform of the command in question. Its one less trip to the search engine + you can easily append your own entries.
    9
  234. Nice work! Thanks for including me in your demo!!!
    9
  235. I love and use Debian 12 on multiple systems. I'm a retired school teacher. When I was working I built a computer lab in my classroom using throw away PCs, running Debian 4.0(Etch). The kids loved it. It's sad, but, very predictable about Red Hat. IBM wants to turn a profit on their investment.
    9
  236. On my Macbook Pro 2012 model, I installed Macfanctld to keep my Macbook cool using Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3. I've added it to the Startup applications. Thanks for the video. Great stuff !! 😃
    9
  237. I ripped my Pokémon games so I could remove the battery for replacement. Love the idea that now I can do my whole library
    9
  238. The lights look sooooo nice.
    9
  239. The Lil' Linux Lesson is a great format! I would definitely watch more videos like these. That being said, the in-depth, longer videos/reviews are dope too (I use Arch btw)
    9
  240. "I legally own these games" - ahhhh those were the days
    9
  241. YAY! ANOTHER VIDEO!!
    9
  242. That's a bossy video :). Been using clonezilla for over ten years. Awesome tool!!
    9
  243. The wallpaper on your Windows 11 machine did elicit a wry smile.
    9
  244. Great as ever Veronica! Thank you for this! I use Omni-OS as a file server (with Napp-it) and a lot of the commands are very similar with Linux... As I fumble through using it, lessons like this are very useful! :) See you in the next one!
    9
  245. I am so jealous of vintage Linux users!! How I would have loved to be a Linux user in those early days of the system. I've only been using it for a little less than 2 years, and the only bit of tech nostalgia I have is for windows '98. lol
    9
  246. I use dwm tiling manager.
    9
  247. I personally run Zorin but I recently installed Mint on my wife's computer and I like them equally. Great video as always. Peace out from a former Minneapolitan (58th and Lyndale South)
    9
  248. Merry Christmas  @VeronicaExplains ! Thanks for the great content!
    9
  249. As for other Lil' Linux Lessons - I always forget how to use 'find'.

  250. For the particular case of switching to vim, most editors have decent or excellent vim plugins that give you > 90% of what vim offers without leaving your current editor. This includes Emacs, IntelliJ, Sublime Text, VS Code, and no doubt many others. You can enable the plugin to try it out and disable the plugin if you try it and don't like it.
    8
  251. Right to the point, several examples, advance cases, clear, nice amount and level of comedy and steady rhythm. You have a forever place in my hall of awesomeness. 😘
    8
  252. Welp, didn't watch far enough into the video to see you mentioned them. lol I just love the model m and wanted to make sure it got mentioned. Sorry about that!
    8
  253. I love clonezilla, I miss Norton Ghost.
    8
  254. Your videos are always so informative and fun to watch at the same time. Thanks! I've been running Arch and Arch based distros for years now. It's hard to ignore the freshness. LOL

  255. back in 1980 my company allowed me take home a modem to dial-up the companies big DEC-10 machine. My fellow group house people spent many hrs. connecting to the DEC-10 playing the classic game 'Adventure trying find the Gold goblet. We even had maps of all the different routes we had tried for the capture. Since I always had access to these Big machines I did not need these little pc's.

  256. Aww. The mention of dd (complete with syntax on screen for the curious experimenter) warms my old heart. That said, I fully agree with leaving it off the main list for your stated target audience of beginners starting from Windows. (P.S. I'd make this comment more opinionated, but I've forgotten the conv= parameter syntax for that and I don't have the man page up. Was it conv=toxic ?)

  257. I have been using Linux since March 93 and as a totally blind user I find the terminal efficient, easy to use and it lets me do a lot of the heavy lifting tasks that would be difficult in the GUI. I do use Windows and the NVDA screen reader as too many emails contain attachments that are not easily viewable in the terminal and sound editing is easier in the GUI, never got the hang of Ecasound. I use the shell in windows as well, never really made friends with the mac although the last one I had was back in 2007, the terminal was nice though.

  258. Hi Veronica. I love your warm, reasonable, and inclusive approach to videos. You are a shining star in a turbulent world. I'd love to support your patreon but as I'm on a fixed income it's tricky at the moment. Anyway, keep doing what you do and keep being awesome.
    8
  259. Your cgp grey levels of alliteration were not unnoticed!
    8
  260. I love Clonezilla! We use it all the time at work, added it to our pxe sever, so it's super easy to deploy, and save images to an nfs share. Thanks for sharing one of my favorite tools?
    8
  261. I really love how you explain things. It's so approachable and simple. You treat everything as if someone would windows applications and I can tell this channel would be awesome for everyone just making their move to linux
    8
  262. This was really great! I've noodled a tiny bit on Commodore emulators, but never the real deal. I'm really glad you went through what each section of each command does, instead of just typing them in or telling someone what to type. I also love that you go through the device's ports, switches, and peripherals. A lot of videos assume we already know this stuff, but these things are decades older than a lot of us, and they're hard to get your hands on today. Awesome video! I'm really glad I found your channel!
    8
  263. Would love to see a video on the history. I wish I'd found this channel when I was a newbie. I still appreciate the content for being comfy, and sometimes covering something I've missed.
    8
  264. This video was so delightful. I would love to see more retro computers videos. How to use them with more modern displays and loading software on a c64 today.
    8
  265. Neat!!
    8
  266. I could not live without Clonezilla.... It is awesome.
    8
  267. lmao love the broken windows wallpaper 😈
    8
  268. 4:38 - a little tip: it's good to use timeshift to create a time in point backup of your running system, so if something mess up you can rollback.
    8
  269. Great video! And I even saw people I know! It was great meeting you also!

  270. new subscriber here, I love your style and personality :). I started using Linux 3 1/2+ years ago and I love UNIX-based distros now! they're so fun! ah man I remember burning disks... and I did that a week ago to try to install Linux on an ancient IBM ThinkPad.
    7
  271. I saw on the right side of the screen that you are teaching yourself machine language. Good for you. My first machine language programming experience was on a Univac mainframe back in 1974. Most fun I've ever had on a computer to this day.
    7
  272. VERONICA IS AWESOME
    7
  273. I am SO Looking forward to more Amiga content in the future, my mom learned a lot about computers from the Amiga and it was the first computer i had the fortune to use! You;re right, that black case looks beautiful! Thank YOU for being so awesome!

  274. comments: BUT dONt YOU knOW vENtOY iS tHe BESt! iTs The bEsT Keep up the good work Veronica!
    7
  275. awks syntax is hella awkward
    7
  276. I love your visual example, specifically the iPhone section. I also noticed your boombox appears to also be a TV. I tried using some smart TV apps on a 1940s TV (coincidentally also an Emerson) and ran into some slight issues.
    7
  277. tbh I love ur content. U inspired me to try Debian and nuke Windows. Now it has been a wonderful Journey from Debian to Final Destination "Arch Linux". After using arch for about 1 yr there is no way back to Windows. Linux is my Home now.
    7
  278. Amazing video Veronica :)... I too know so many people going through tough times at the moment, I'm not sure what going on in da world but keep strong and keep making such wonderful content. Live long and prosper 🖖
    7
  279. All great options. I can't imagine a better method than the ones mentioned here 😁
    7
  280.  @VeronicaExplains  I'm here! (I think my other comment got nuked) Ventoy is great, but there's questionable binary blobs which got people pretty sussed out after the whole xz debacle. (See Issue 2795 on Ventoy's GitHub, there's still been no response from the devs)
    7
  281. Yet another wonderful video. Because of one of your videos I decided to give Pop!_OS a try and have been using it regularly. It's great for my situation, but it's not like other distros (or OSes) are garbage... it just has some features that I was unaware of before your video, and I happened to like what it provides. Others will have different preferences and it's all good. Anyway, thank you for highlighting strengths and weaknesses of things you talk about in an entertaining, informative and enthusiastic but non-super-preachy way.
    7
  282. Goodness I appreciate videos that do not do the classic social media divisiveness approach. It’s OK to be fucking different !!!! (I love the fact that people ARE not all the same. If we were it would be like the link layer of networking)
    7
  283. I really love when content creators make videos without annoying background music. I know everything you mentioned in this video, but I'm still watching carefully. Your way of explaining, and the speech is like a great teacher. ❤ From INDIA. Keep posting. Subscribed with bell 🔔 icon.
    7
  284. Lover your stuff. Keep doing it❤
    7
  285. And Thank You for providing an ability for the VCFMW YouTube panel to be viewed - I met many of the panelists (and participated myself) at VCF Southwest.
    7
  286. Great to see you back, Veronica! I'm looking forward to videos from the new space about fun and quirky old operating systems and programming languages. Plus more Linux tips! I understand.
    7
  287. Ha! You managed to do it again (teach me something new I didn't know about a Unix/Linux command): that the -h option (which I've used for years with the df command) also applies to ls! Hooray! Linux is awesome, and so is Veronica! :-)
    7
  288. Nice news on the SSH updates. While there's no problem if both client and server run a modern version of openssh, it could be confusing to connect from modern to legacy system (e.g. an OpenWrt router which hasn't been sysupgraded for years), but all can be done with some knowledge and google-fu. Hey, nice to see the creator shoutout! Who knows, maybe I'll end up there someday :D
    7
  289. So much fun hanging out with you there! See you next year!
    7
  290. Just wanted to thank you for this. Extremely helpful. You are an awesome presenter/teacher!
    7
  291. "Waist of time", my mental picture went hourglass ⏳😂
    7
  292. A small and great pill of knowledge! If I may add a sugestion (as a non-patreon), SSH is a very important program for most system management, and we can use it to play remotely with a raspberry pi (which is another interesting piece to learn with in itself)
    7
  293. "For some reason you're blurry." "That's just me naturally" lmao

  295. "Its bridged to matrix" got a bigger laugh out of me than it should've, always love to see it though.
    6
  296. Of course I’m still watching!

  297. Uhhh they didnt even have optical media in 1900 so....ah... [trails off as I realise the turn if the century was 24 years ago]
    6
  298. VerROMica explains?
    6
  299. I love it when I learn of Linux commands that are already installed on my system that do exactly what I need!
    6
  300. Why are people spamming ventoy, while i do agree its a great tool but i had a fair share of issues with it on older devices and this is a beginners tutorial, ventoy installaton / usage is NOT beginner friendly Also as a sidenote i dont really like balena etcher as it is weird about telemetry, i think fedora usb writer thingy is good enough and rufus for windows, but im more here for your humor and wit than anything else :)

  301. My first Comp was a C-128/64. I loved my computer! I had tons of games, and got really good at programming1
    6
  302. 3:00 - Wow, I just came across this yesterday. I've build a separate Debian machine from old leftover parts as homeradio with old DVD drive - to take the music my CD collection. Tried to dd first because I thought to compress the image and store them like that on a rusty spinner as well and ... yeah, failed. I actually wanted to check on this today because I wanted to focus on abcde. But now I know why dd failed without looking for it. Thank you!
    6
  303. I have a 11yr old Mac mini running great with MX Linux. I am seriously considering Mint. Thanks for the video.

  304. "What is Shortwave?" It's when I non-verbally greet people 👋! (Don't save that OGG.)

  305. I vote for the "Peace Arch" for the name. I often name my Raspberry Pis after Sci-Fi characters.

  306. My dad bought 2 Model M keyboards in the early 2000s before they were cool. He put APL keycaps on one of them. It is a geeky coolness at a whole other level.
    6
  307. I've never trusted Red Hat, and I never will. I could never forgive them for the death of my boy.
    6
  308. Youtube served up your channel and I'm glad it did. I'm an old IT professional but I came up through the PC lineage so I lack knowledge of all the other platforms from the 80's thru the 90's. You are helping me get into that history. I think you and your channel are awesome.
    6
  309. Excellent video! I loved the demos of doing stuff and testing software along with the look at Fedora. Thanks. 😀
    6
  310. No pacstrap? I'll try `archinstall`, maybe this coming weekend. Ext4 is probably the best option for a single drive. I usually pick zfs for DAS.
    6
  311. ​@shateqI only open btop when I want to convince others I'm busy working 😅
    6
  312. I totally never knew about man builtins, and I've been using this stuff for decades!
    6
  313. I'm from Minnesota too and I was pretty excited when I saw our region mentioned on Louis Rossman's channel, especially considering how long the fight for this has been going on for!
    6
  314. I bought the original Red Hat version 4 at a Kmart in 1997. I believe they were carrying Red Hat, Mandrake at the time, with Corel Linux coming a year or two later.
    6
  315. "That's a bossy video." Been using Linux for over 20 years and always resorting to dd. How come I never stumbled into Clonezilla until now. Another tool for the kit. "Nice". 🙂
    6
  316. That’s a bossy video. Have used Clonezilla in the enterprise for quite a while. Always been a great tool for me.

  317. I was today years old before I found out about winget.....

  318. I think that hardware/software manuals have returned to what they were in the mid-1970's (in a way) for the kit computers. Those assumed a level of technical skill was already present in the reader (a casual person from home wouldn't be buying a kit computer to solder and put chips on, etc.). The transition to the home/personal computer (an already fully assembled "thing") meant that manual writers had to assume that Jane/Joe public was now buying these and would not have any background in engineering, programming or even typing (I remember in the mid 1970's being one of the few kids around who even had a manual typewriter). So showing things like "What is the Spacebar" makes a lot of sense. It's like telling someone who has no previous musical experience to play an E note on a guitar; they have no reference to know what an E note is, never mind how that translates onto a guitar. The TI-99/4A guide you showed is somewhat telling in that the original TI manuals from Texas Instruments themselves were still a little too complicated for a new home user (the Apple II manual was like this too, I remember not understanding parts of it when I first saw it back in 1979). The one you showed is not by TI at all but by Consumer Guide, which, being a series of magazines for general consumers for a variety of products, had to aim to the lowest common denominator (ie someone who knows nothing about computers) and start teaching from that level upwards. Heh... loved the COBOL / Matrix reference... I laughed out loud at that. One set of manuals for early home computers that I found as one of the best (note: I may be slightly biased) is the original TRS-80 Color Computer manuals ("Getting Started With Color BASIC" and "Going Ahead With Extended Color BASIC"). The later condensed Coco 2 manuals, while good, were not quite at the same level. They had friendly illustrations, made the reader comfortable that they can take as much time as they need and refer backwards to previous lessons, has little question/answer and problems at the end of each chapter, and made a lot of the lessons fun rather than dry programming examples. They first of the two can be found on the Color Computer Archive online. P.S. As you can probably tell from my rambling sentences above, no one should ever let me write a manual for public consumption. lol.

  319. As an old geezer I lived through all of this. First as a SysOp running a BBS until the Internet came along and ruined that, then as a webmaster after that. Had it all - the web rings, guest books, PhP forums. Good times! I do miss those days when the Internet was so much simpler and naive. Of course, I don't miss things like having to use RealPlayer to watch videos! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

  320. That is mandatory thumbnail face. C'mon. :)

  321. Oh man, this video hit me right in the feelz. Such a beautifully communal experience! The annual CoCoFest is also held in Chicago and thats always been a bucket list thing I wanted to experience! Thanks for making this video :) #Team6809 :-P

  322. "Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt." 🤣
    6
  323. I am adamant that everyone absolutely, definitely should install Arch using exactly whatever means they fancy. I loved building my system from the bottom up the manual way. If I had to reinstall in a hurry, though, I might give the installer a go. I do get things that break fairly regularly though. I might try Manjaro one day, to see if it hits the sweet spot.
    6
  324. WOW! Love the explanation. You think you know linux 'CD' commands, but there is always something new to learn. Thanks Veronica! Your Awesome.
    6
  325. Oh oh! She's back! Fangirl mode, engage!
    6
  326. 12:21 it’s tangara time! Wait…why didn’t I become a power ranger?

  327. Just discovered this channel via this video, very interesting for someone that recently switched to linux.
    5
  328. Goodness, it's been 17 years for Clonezilla?
    5
  329. 2:54 I had our engineers at the station teach me! And OMG LAN party!
    5
  330. Hi from the patreon crowd! Using ssh since 1997, this was new to me!
    5
  331. Veronica is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  333. Your Bop-It skills are truly second to none. :) This show truly looks like heaven for us vintage tech enthusiasts... wow!

  334. I name my ThinkPads after female comic book characters. Emma Frost is a "pimped out" T440p with core i7 Haswell (4 cores, 8 threads), 16 GB ram, 1 M.2 SSD, another SATA SSD and an HDD caddy in place of the optical drive and a 1080p IPS display. I use "her" in my work every day with Archlabs Linux and a windows 10 install in KVM. Couldn't be happier, the performance is great for her tasks.
    5
  335. I'm kinda actually addicted to upgrading iPods. I've wound up remaking 4 in the last 4 years. Two of them run rockbox and I use rsync to copy my FLAC files over from my dedicated headless CD ripping station.
    5
  336. I understand
    5
  337. I just started using Linux mint and I'm still learning to use it's tools, kinda neat to have options to choose
    5
  338. Great video, Veronica! (As always.) I've been a Linux user for 23 years but hadn't tried Arch yet (one of the few I haven't) until recently I decided to install it on a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. So I'm looking forward to any further videos you may do on the distro. And for my hostname vote I'll put in the hat "vcurve" (the "v" for Veronica and an "arch" is a curve haha).
    5
  339. My husband and I really enjoy your channel! Thanks for all your hard work... we are both wishing you much success in the future! 🌈♥
    5
  340. We used redhat back in the lan party days to run counter strike, because it ran solid as a rock! Yet some of my first desktop linux experiences were painful trying to get wifi and printers to work! You're right in saying it's come a long way! Now we've got places like github too where we can collaborate with the devs to help solve bugs.
    5
  341. My first distro was Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Had a laptop that needed an adapter for the HDD I didn't have so I was trying to find a way of installing windows on an USB external HDD and found Linux. Loved it . Never went back .
    5
  342. Thanks for giving Adwater & Stir so much attention in this video. His Altairduino kits are well known in the international retro community. I keep telling mself I'm giing to buy one, but then remember that it will just end up on the massive projects pile. No matter, very nice video! Thanks for sharing!
    5
  343. By the way, to anyone watching, the Model M is still produced today by a company just up the road from me called Unicomp. They still even use the buckling spring switch, and even have a Mac variant (that is, if it's still in stock). They run about $110 USD. They had some rough supply issues in the last two years, but they seem to have gotten it lined out.
    5
  344. I came here from Taylor and Amy and subscribed to you :D
    5
  345. They have got to! Maybe we can muster up also a whole women in tech panel.
    5
  346. Hey Veronica, thanks for continuing this awesome work you are doing here on Youtube. It's great to see you pursue your passion and starting a new career isn't easy, but the community stands with you and we hope good things will come out for the channel.
    5
  347.  @VeronicaExplains  well i am glad to report that the chromebook is now succesfully running Debian 12 :D it was shockingly easy using the guide. Thank you for helping me solve a problem I did not know I had!
    5
  348. Thank you for uploading this video tonight, now I'm alone at home and I was bored without knowing what to do... Greetings from Santiago de Chile

  354. Do I spy Workbench 1.3 behind you?? Or maybe it’s WB 3. I can’t remember lol.
    5
  355. You’re my favourite tech youtuber, love your videos!
    5
  356. don't copis that vorbis

  357. I'm a guy and I like nano. Quick and easy and almost always already installed.
    5
  358. Congratulations, Veronica, for knowing what you want to do and for doing it! I look forward to seeing more of you on this excellent channel. My first job was coding in COBOL (in 1988). Since I'm close to retirement, I'm lucky that that I'm able to spend my remaining programming years looking after a legacy (trading) system. My organization's IT leaves me and my team alone provided that we meet security requirements. The stinky IT puppets don't get to waste my time with pointless meetings.

  360. As always writing a comment to support the channel
    5
  361. I might have used this archinstall if I'd have known about it, as I didn't want to install arch myself but wanted the arch genetics and ecosystem, so I did Manjaro, which worked out for me as a pretty satisfactory base to start personalising. Maybe archinstall could be even better, but there's no turning back for me now.
    5
  362. Great video, it was awesome meeting you and thanks for the shout out!
    5
  363. Killer video! I feel like I really missed an opportunity to pick one of these up when every college and high school was dumping these for cheap, so now I'm relegated to getting a fixer-upper, and I'm going to absolutely reference this when I eventually find the imac g3 of my dreams
    5
  364. I just subscribed, I like your sense of humour 🖤
    5
  365. the "little brother ruining it for you" moment was priceless, made me laugh. yeah I lived that.

  366. Came here to say this knowing it had already been said!
    5
  367. Ada Lovelace, Hedy Lamarr, Grace Hopper. Without these ladies you wouldn't be able to leave this comment. Perhaps it needs a rethink...
    5
  368. Veronica! Impeccable music taste. First the B52s shirt, now the ABBA sweatshirt? Incredible. Thanks for approaching your content creation in such a friendly, informative, non-elitist manner!
    5
  369. : ) LOL : "That's a bossy video". ! BEST explanation EVER as I have used Clonezilla for SIMPLE cones, BUT NO IDEA about Images etc ! I WILL do this onec I have a 'GOLDEN' Laptop SSD to use on others and Desktops etc. THANKS MUCH and ALL the BEST ! ! Cheers : )
    5
  370. Thanks for another entertaining video!
    5
  371. Nice one, Veronica! I saw my OSCR video peeking through one of your screen grabs... it's a neat and very useful device! Re hidden files, I think the advice to hide them is just to help navigate the folder structure without all the extra file clutter when you're reading the card... at least that's why I hid all of my files. Re building one from scratch - there's a lot of soldering in the OSCR with all of those cartridge slots, but it's totally doable for less experienced folks, and it's great practice! And if you want some help improving your soldering skills, you should come out MGC 2024 next month and attend the gameBadge workshop - we focus on teaching soldering skills and you'll walk away with a cool pico-based handheld game system to boot 😁
    5
  372. Keep up these awesome videos!
    5
  373. In the 1980s I played a bunch of Hack and Hunt which made using hjkl second nature. I still play Angband occasionally using hjkl and use vim daily! I had way more fun than I care to admit watching this video! 🙂 Thanks, Veronica!
    5
  374. "Linux is awesome! And so are you :)" My heart melts every time 😭 Thank you for such a fun and wholesome channel
    4
  375. Just 5 minutes in and had to comment how brilliant this is. Thank you very much! (I literally googled ISO yesterday, and today it makes sense because of your explanation of the history - & I’m old enough to remember it 🤣. Much appreciated)
    4
  376. Very entertaining. I wish I would have that skill. Never approached music instruments in my life, unfortunately. Greetings from Ukraine.
    4
  377. Any chance for you to perhaps check out the PinePhone maybe?
    4
  378. I've been using Linux Mint for quite a few years now and I also find it awesome. I use it mainly for coding as I find it quite stable but I also play around with some of the amazing applications available.
    4
  379. Woohoo!
    4
  380. I used Debian Xfce the non-free version for a while because Xfce development is almost as slow as Debian development. Perfect match imo.
    4
  381. Love these videos, Veronica! Hoping to get an Amiga to work on sometime in the future!
    4
  382. <3 for captions, really makes my life easier, thanks for being awesome!
    4
  383. saw a lot of my favourite vintage computer hosts in this video I think my favourite is Adrian from Adrians digital basement
    4
  384. Home ogging is killing music.
    4
  385. Welcome back and thanks for your informative and fun videos! Hope everyone at home is feeling much better. For now, focus on what is really important, and then you can slowly speed it up from there.
    4
  386. Very good choice of laptop, I still use my heavily modified Thinkpad T430 as my daily driver and yeah they last you a lifetime :) As for the name my suggestions are: Thicpad (a classic) MetalPad Jeffpad

  387. don't save that ahhgeh!!!!!!!

  388. Now tell the people who wrote the the program that spits out the error message to provide the human readable reason for not ejecting the flash drive like ‚file x is open‘ instead of just ‚sorry can‘t‘
    4
  389. Please do a video dual booting
    4
  390. Tech video done to perfection. Thank you! And yes, teaching awk too would be great.
    4
  391. A lot of this was mad useful thank you Veronica Edit: Please make the awk for beginners vid 🙏
    4
  392. Thanks for the memories. I used to have a $100/month budget in the 80's for computer books and magazines and spent hours a week in the university library. It was inefficient and wonderful. We have definitely lost so much as we've gained just as much. The pace of change makes documentation in printed form impossible. I often miss that pace.
    4
  393. Stay strong Linux Mom 💪! I love your work, your charisma and passion for software and hardware. I've learnt a lot from you and I really appreciate it. You're one of my favorite you-tubers from all web. I hope you could accomplish your goals. Greetings from Argentina.
    4
  394. I'm looking forward to the continuation of your Amiga story. Thanks.
    4
  395. This is a very helpful video, especially showing me the installation. I would also love a dual boot video for fedora
    4
  396. Well said! I love your "to each his own" perspective...It's very refreshing to see this in a world of connected anonymity where people tend to say things they'd never dare say to someone's face.
    4
  397. I hear they are great!

  398. The guitar bit was perfectly accurate haha
    4
  399.  @VeronicaExplains  Doh, indeed you did. I totally zoomed out on that one lol
    4
  400. The real question is… When are The Stop Bits playing 1st Ave? Ok ok. The Entry? Ok fine some person’s sketchy basement?
    4
  401. was just looking into this and then I saw the notification. perfect timing!

  402. I first used one of these keyboards back on 1989, when the company I worked for got me a new PS/2 Model 70 (top of the line, with an 8514/A graphics card for a whooping 1024 x 768 resolution :) ... I kept that keyboard for many many years, carrying it on to the newer PCs that the company used over the years, no newere keyboard was better and the windows key didn't meant much to me. When I retired, I did so with that keeyboard among my stuff, and used it for many more years on my home PC, until recently, when motherboards dispensed with the PS/2 interface .. it was really durable, lasting in constant use for over 25 years. Love your channel btw. Cheers!

  403. I'm loving the STANCE you've taken. As a repair engineer, I'm really looking forward to this and hopefully it will make my and a lot of others jobs easier. Not only will this be good for the consumer but also the planet! Farming equipment sounds like Cough a dear John scenario.. cough As always, you're awesome.

  407. Gnome is always the long part of the process. I don't use the installer, I just grab a tablet and run through the steps. I usually get things going in about 15-20 minutes. I really love Arch, and I don't use it for cred, that's that the Arch T-shirt is for.

  408. Hi! I saw your Video and Subscribed! I bought my first computer at Dolgins', a department store: Commodore Vic-20, then a Commodore-64, then Amiga 500! I wrote a simple space invaders game in basic! I learned basic spending countless hours with Compute's Gazette Magazine: They had printouts of simple, slow videogames you could type in for the cost of the magazine! They had 4 or so programs at the back of each of the Computer Magazines! It sold as, a "Commodore Vic-20, The Friendly Computer!" I had a blast, and I am 56 years old!

  411. A new version of GnuCOBOL was recently released, and I know you are a COBOL programmer. Would you consider doing a video about COBOL?

  412. This is such a great video and reminds me of my CompTIA A+ certification test. lots of questions about printers and specifically dot matrix printers for some reasons.

  419. Thanks for the explanation, and yes - the Macintosh Librarian channel is a bunch of fun!

  420. I just had an original thought: Could you please cover Manjaro in greater depth in a future video? 😎

  421. So, I hear that you are in a band..... 😊

  422. hell yeah!

  424. Clonezilla works perfectly with Ventoy. I have a small thumbdrive with Ventoy installed with several different distros in it, each focusing on different things and I LOVE it! And what a bossy video! 😄

  426. The hardware support problems are the hardest to see in a VM retrospective, it's almost certainly the thing that stopped a lot of users. Thanks for the cool video.

  427. My setup at 10:57 yay!

  428. So weird. This just popped up in my feed and actually solves a problem I will be working on later today. Thank you!

  429. Great video, hasn't Linux, no matter what flavor, come a long way in the last 10 - 15 years?, i remember getting fee Ubuntu discs with version 6.06 then 9.04 and soon after 10.04 sent by mail. The amount of you tubers out there explaining Linux Distros has grown 10 fold since the old days. I think the percentage of Linux users now has grown to an incredible amount, it would be nice to know the market share of Linux, i don't think it's still hovering around the 2% mark as some stated a while ago, far from it, should be well over 5% and growing but i guess there's no way to know.
    4
  430. I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your videos — they're awesome! I've been interested in Linux and Unix for a long time, but I'm really only getting started with it properly now, and your videos are super helpful; thank you! I really like how you explain things in such an approachable and relaxed way. I'd love to learn more about the history of remote access tools, as it's something I find fascinating too (your video on the Wyse Terminal has got me searching on eBay…). Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing!

  431. The uselessness of your comment is only matched by its inanity and brevity. Perhaps you should try turning off your machine before attempting a suitable retort.

  432. COOL VIDEO --- i still have my TRS80 COCO 3 So wild seeing all the OG computer nerds 😁 in one place!!

  433. - I was starting to worry you weren't going to mention the music. Phew, that was close. - With a PackardBell system, huh? Same. - I can't believe there were three of these. Cryo really stuck it out for a while. At least they had a cool logo.

  434. It would probably take a while for me to stop using the `-t ed25519` parameter 😁

  435. Thank you for a video which is both informative and "bossy" :-)

  436. I'm a nano user, and sometimes even Kate. I've always just used the tool I'm comfortable with and gets the job done, and it's worked out for me so far. I don't care at all what anyone thinks of my choices, and I'm not going to get in an argument over it. When I see people ask things like "I'm thinking about switching to X. Should I?", I'm always like "I don't know, man. Only you can answer that. Try it. If you like it, then use it. If you don't like it, then don't."

  437. I just returned my iPod Video to service with a new battery and a new SSD - I'd forgotten what a good user experience this thing has. It's also way smaller than I remember it, and carrying it around has been a joy. Also. Dunlop heavy picks are clearly the superior choice :)

  438. Fun and educational as always. Great content!

  439. I am incredibly grateful to you for creating this video. I am fairly certain that I came across this video after I had tried using Virtualbox to test something within a macOS and Windows VM (and not having a particularly stellar experience). After watching your video I installed kvm on my old 2011 MacBook Pro (running Ubuntu only), in in addition to some other tools called quickemu and quickget, and it was night and day in comparison to my previous attempts at using Virtualbox to create Windows, Linux, and even macOS VMs. Many, many thanks Veronica!

  440. Veronica once again compiling all of the info i would spend days looking up to be able to do something with my old junk
    3
  441. For your information it does work very well with Ventoy. It allows you to also have several of the recovery images for doing system stuff.
    3
  442. Only 5 seconds in and I'd just like to take a moment to hit thumbs up just for that intro. The tiles... LOL

  443. Veronica, you are addicting.

  444. I agree with the learning the standard packages commands. If the new package is great it will become the standard. For instance nano replaced vi as the default editor

  445. I'm so proud of being a patrion of your channel, this video was so well made! Thanks for showing a Ubuntu I recognize but had forgotten about.

  449. I remeber playing, or better trying to play, MegaRace 2 back in the day. It was on my first PC, Windows 95. I remeber it beeing a DOS game, having troubles with controls and drivers. Apparently they even made a third part and the whole series is available on Steam. This brings back a lot of nostalgia. Back when games started to use DirectX and Windows 9x as a platform and stopped relying on MS DOS.

  450. Great video. I'm the first

  451. Probably worth a video, but basically because in the first wave of "computers are awesome" everybody jumped on COBOL because it was the best language for business applications at the time. And billions (some estimates say hundreds of billions or trillions) of lines of code were written in COBOL. Many of those systems were well engineered in stable and established businesses and basically did everything they were supposed to, so it would have been costly and pointless to replace them. At some point all of the developers who wrote the programs were retired or dead and most people had moved on to other languages, which only make the prospect of porting these programs more expensive. So they're still around... running half the world quietly in the background.

  452. 20+ years for me. Pun intended.

  453. This is so helpful. I switched from windows to mint and now PopOs and didnt know about this.
    3
  454. Thanks for the tutorial! I'm embarrassed that I've been Team 🐧 for 17 years without learning this command. Aside: even with the obvious "I barely know 'er" bait, I'd argue that pronouncing it "fuse-er" is definitely preferable to the extremely rude sounding "eff user."

  455. I think this is a good move for her. As long as she stays away FLIR Fart videos, I can't see how it could possibly go wrong.

  456. I loved my Commodore 64. I remember it took you 20 minutes to load a game off the cassette. Later I bought the floppy disk drive and was in heaven. I later bought the unidirectional dox matrix printer . Good times. Ohh and the 600 Baud modem to log into Compuserv. 😂

  457. Intro to package managers would be an apt subject for a lil` Linux lesson topic.

  458. I've heard the argument that most people who want fractional scaling are best served upping the system font size. And I've definitely had that work well for me on single-display systems. It does fall apart when you have screens that have considerably different DPIs, though.
    3
  459. I like your suggestion about Linux Mint making their own .exe-based installation tool, like Fedora’s. Could really help to further streamline the process for those who want to use Mint.

  460. Born in 1973 and growing up with the C64 and our obsessed party-game room in the basement where we played Jumpman on a dual monitor 14" monochrome connected to a 20 inch TV with rabbit ears, wrote code from RUN mags to make games, played Hubbard's 8-bit music (Synth Sample), designed graphics of world flags, ripped hundreds of games to our 5-1/4 floppies, and our favorite colour was cyan.... I enjoyed this! 😅 Just found this in recommends. Will check more of your channel! -Sharona 💃

  463. Veronica, you make fantastic videos and this one is my favorite so far. It was very informative and fun to watch. I have been into linux since 1999 but I am a neophyte to KVM and Qemu. This video had a well defined scope and you I would love to see this grow into a play list. I would like to request an intro to virt and I would also like to express my interest in videos that explore the networking options. Thanks again. :)

  464. YAAAAAAAY im selfishly happy. YT needs a channel like yours

  465. I like that dog in the thumbnail. Good dog 🐕 👍

  466. Just recently discovered your channel and I'm loving it! Informative, fun, inclusive and non-judgemental! Keep it up please! I've been using Linux since I was a wee boy but never really learned it "academically" so it's fun to watch these sorta "did you know?" videos about simple commands that are less used. Would love a video about awk! I know it's really handy in scripts and that would be nice for anyone's tool belt!
    3
  467. Thank you for doing these Lil' Linux Lesson and concentrating on the commands that builtin rather than the newer that are not always in the repo's.

  470. Hi Veronica, Thank you so much for such an amazing review! We'll noted the stand-off issue and we'll see to provide them on our site. What keycaps color are you looking at should you replace yours? Many thanks again, The Team.
    3
  471. Oh yea I love shortwave. I love it so much that whenever I'm on my phone or any other OS I sorely miss it. at least on windows I can use something like wacup which has an internet radio tool built in, but there's nothing like either of the two for MacOS.

  472. Great video. Very new user friendly. Keep up the amazing content!

  474. ​ @VeronicaExplains  Great video! dd can technically handle most of this (it just copies raw blocks, even if they’re encrypted), but it doesn’t offer the file-system awareness or extra features Clonezilla provides—especially around compression, checking, and easy restores. Clonezilla is definitely the safer, faster, and more user-friendly way to go. Of course, if you enjoy living on the edge, there’s always dd.”

  475. At 6:38 you mention something you called a "headphone jack". What is that exactly? Sounds interesting.

  476. Your style totally reminds me of Technology Connections. (-:

  478. Tried Ventoy with two ISOs, it booted one of them and couldn't boot the other, that's all I needed to see ;-) It only takes me one extra minute to format a USB stick with the ISO compared to copying over the .ISO, and the former method always works, so ventoy isn't for me.

  491. I went to my first "open source meeting" just after the release of this - planning the NEXT Ubuntu release, in a small town near Barcelona, Spain (Mataro). It was a great time, met a lot of people in those years kind of "on the side" contributing to Ubuntu.

  492. I once worked on the original IBM PC AT with Model M keyboard - now use a Logitech G series mechanical keyboard - love the clack but at work for courtesy to my colleagues is a MS Keyboard.

  500. Yellow card — minus 10 points for not using the phrase "kitty wampus" once in the video! 😉 Seriously though, great video. I used the Model M for years and a few years ago got the Unicomp as a holiday gift and love it, except my aging fingers and arthritis didn't like the keyforce required after a while and I've settled on shallow Cherry Blues which are fantastic. But I'll always have fond memories of the Model M. Also, the Model M is not open work environment friendly, but perfect for a private office/at home alone.

  501. I love visiting with Veronica even if I know ls already 😀

  505. This is really nice to hear, to be honest. I'm a Computer Engineer (at least I will be when I graduate in December, hopefully) and I've been dabbling in Linux for the last 9 months. I've really enjoyed it and some day I wanna run Linux on my main PC, but I want to go back to Windows for the moment. I'd been holding off because of the whole "Windows is the enemy" mindset of the Linux community and I didn't want to be judged for it. I know Windows (and Microsoft as a whole) is ethically questionable (and in my opinion getting worse by the day) but it's also what I know best.

  507. Indeed it is!

  508. I deactivated my twitter a couple months back not only because of it going downhill behind the scenes but also the constant negativity and hostility about every little thing. It gets tiring, becomes a mental drain of sorts.

  509. I'm not sure how long my Canon Pixma MX490 is going to last. I bought it back in May of 2018. So far, 4 year's. But then again, I don't print on it every day.

  511. "nobody is interested in playing mp3s anymore" My first thought was "yeah, flac is way better!" and then I realized. They were talking about spotify. XD yea sorry anyone who thinks like that, any opportunity I have to resist "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" I WILL take.

  512. Next topic idea: What types of companies/applications still use COBOL and a general discussion of the types of COBOL projects you work on (without divulging any customer details, of course).

  517. Thinkpad is always a good choice for longevity. I have a T440p as my daily driver that’s going on what, eight or nine years old and still chugging right along.

  518. Love the video and the shirt! Pop!_OS has been my daily driver for a few years now. Not enjoying the cosmic launcher at this very moment, but I'm excited to see what they come up with in the new DE.

  519. [At some risk of sounding like one of the "what does this do over dd?" bros; hopefully I won't by the end...] While at least most of my current needs are something where I am happy to use the familiar-to-me dd to get things done, I'm grateful to you for creating this, so that I (and others!) can know about other options that are out there, that may fit others' needs and/or my own future needs (some even anticipated currently!) better. Thanks!

  520. That's a bossy video

  522.  @VeronicaExplains  I've never seen 'RTFD' expressed so politely. Thanks, and for all the info.

  523. When your channel is called Veronica Explains, Ask Veronica seems like a very logical segment for a channel so named.
    3
  524. Oh! A smexy Amiga 1200 in your background.. .. back to your video. :D
    3
  525. Thank you, Veronica! I’m finally taking my first steps into Linux and you’re helping me ‘find’ things along the way!
    3
  526. i've been watching a bunch of your videos and this one is sooo relaxing :3 it's been putting a very long-lasting smile on my face

  528. Wait. it was a Quitie pie framework this entire time?

  530. Are you keeping up with the Commodore?
    3
  531. First?

  532. A-ha-ha-ha-ha! You 're kidding !. I'm from Russia. I enjoy watching your videos . I don't know how Google Translator will translate, but respect and respect to you! Keep delighting with your clips!... 😆👍

  533. Loving the content. Look forward to the next one!

  535. Over 25 years using linux and I never encountered cd - Thanks for the tip. Keep up the great videos.
    3
  536. Veronica I'm kinda disappointed in you. Where's your hackerwoman sunglasses? ;) archbtwftw! I've gotten so used to installing arch manually that i actually feel too dumb to use archinstall haha! but yes pretty please do a btrfs video and how to properly set it up, at some point. I've set it up before and it's a little bit weird but man is it a really REALLY cool filesystem and I think there needs to be more content out there explaining precisely how to set it up, especially with your teaching style. So far my guess for a name is "ThinkRad" ... i'll see myself out. ps - we don't use 'yay' anymore it's all 'paru' these days, RUST baybeh wahooo!!!
    3
  537. Debian testing is the sweet spot for home users who like to tinker. I’m running my Plex server and steam without any issues. I’m tempted to run Arch, but it didn’t play nice with my printer last I checked. Now i need to rewatch Voyager again. 😅
    3
  538. Ok, now I have a third pane in my tmux config that travels with me from host to host. Thank you! Just so you know we FreeBSD people appreciate you including us.
    3
  539. There's also different curves or curve parameters. As I understand it, ECDSA uses some curves published by NIST, where they say "Use these curve parameters" without any particular justification, and people speculate the NSA may be involved in getting them to endorse those particular parameters. The Curve25519 curve used by Ed25519 is also allegedly maybe more secure when it comes to side-channel attacks? But at this point I'm beyond my ability to assertively repeat that information.
    3
  540. Easter egg!
    3
  541. Yeah, I’ve already been bitten by outdated servers that only accept rsa,dss (which cannot be updated from my end at least). Thankfully the workaround from the client side isn’t too hard. Also, good advice and reminder to rotate those crusty old keys… 😅

  545. I think you should name it "Thinky McThinkface"

  546. What a refreshing take. This should be required viewing for anybody getting into tech. Years ago I switched from Ubuntu to Debian for my personal computers, feeling it was a more mature, "pure" distribution. But when I started deploying machines at work, I realized that Ubuntu worked better for some things (among others, Samba seemed to work better out of the box). Now I use a lot of different distros for different things, and realize that there's no shame in any of them.

  547. Write your letters in the sand, For the day I take your hand, Don't you hear my call
    3
  548. I appreciate this very much. Lately I've had the urge to learn the terminal for efficiency's sake and I LOVE Efficiency as I struggle with it on the day-to-day with ADHD. If I had the terminal to organize my cupboards that'd be epic :D When I introduce someone to Linux, I like to tell them about the terminal and that 'It's fun, there's so much you can do and makes you feel like a pro even if it's something simple through a few lines on the screen"
    3
  549. You unintentionally convinced me to switch to pop OS, and I am just loving it.

  550. I’d attend the Stop Bits as one of the attractions at Veronica’s UBetcha Upper Midwest Retro Hardware Swap and Synth and bait shop

  552. Veronica thank you for this video! I’m not the only one that loves the terminal. It’s just so Linux-y!!! I have a video idea: as a former COBOL systems analyst/programmer I think it would be awesome for you to do a COBOL video since there are tons of legacy systems out there on mature hardware using COBOL and we could use more people interested in learning the language. Thanks!

  554. Dont you just hate those pesky closs-pratform programs? xD

  555. Hi Veronica. Just wanted to say good luck with whatever you do in the future. It's a bold and scary decision to quit your job - I know, I did just that exactly 1 year ago. Like you I worked on legacy systems that are still in use by my old employer, based on the Centura development IDE that was popular with many UK financial companies in the 1990's. I quit because they no longer appreciated the skills that I have. In the last year I have taken a career break to do some home improvement projects and to think about my future career path. I'm also of an age that it would be possible for me to stop full time employment and take retirement. Even so, I'm still looking out for new work - maybe something will turn up. PS. I learnt COBOL at college along with FORTRAN and other languages :-)

  556. 100%. 200%. 1000% with you three. To this day, all documentation I write is in the form, style, and voice of Commodore's programmer's reference guides. (Especially those little "cloud bubbles".) It's effective, illuminating, and kind.

  557. I'm just really happy to see a trackball person. Mouse people and touchpad people aren't bad - I just hate they're assumed to be the only ones to exist by every work place and laptop maker. Which trackball do you like best? I love my Kensington. I dont remember the model name, Ive had it forever. Its about the size of a billiard ball, with 4 buttons, and, my favorite part, the scroll ring! I agree on one's preferred distro not being for everyone. I use KDE but Gnome is such a close second for me, and I was on Gnome for a decade. A linux option for the ipad - Im personally considering a GPD Pocket 3. No LTE, but itll tether to a phone. I dont have one yet, so no idea if its as good as it looks. Tiny, with keyboard, has tablet mode.

  558. We had brought our Amiga 500 to the childrens ward in the hospital for my brother when he had to lay in there for several weeks with a broken leg. A lot of good memories for a lot of kids on that ward. When did we forget to expect easy access, local multiplayer games on every computer?

  559. You are great! Keep the videos coming - show us whatever you like.

  560. This is one of my favorite Linux channels. You are an amazing teacher, and I love your words of encouragement. Thanks for taking the time to do all the work you do and making YouTube a better place.

  562. rufus ftw!

  563. This was fun! I remember my Commodore 64 manual.
    2
  564. Tiling is exactly why I'm running Pop
    2
  565. Yes! I love my little iPod, I am lost without it. I can't believe people are still using Spotify when they could be using an iPod
    2
  566. Brilliant video! Great info - well presented! 🙂 Subscribed 🙂
    2
  567. There are still installers that use ncurses, so it doesn't look that old. I just tried voic and it installs the same way.
    2
  568. window management is so important. swapped back and forth between xfce and plasma a handful of times to get my perfect outcome
    2
  569. Just watched this video and immediately subscribed. I never experienced the BBSes of the time because my father dreaded the phone bills, but I love the retro content especially on the C64. Will now continue to watch your Linux content as I am a Linux Consultant professionaly 😊
    2
  570. Thank you so much for this.
    2
  571. I hope to one day not have to boot into windows for the handful of games that won't run on Linux xD
    2
  572. love your retro sessions - owned a Amiga 500 and Acorn Electron ( basically junior BBC Micro Model B). These building blocks led to so much and are superb training ages.
    2
  573. STOP RUN.
    2
  574. I haven't tried the arch install script, looks good though. I always choose grub and ext4 too, just because I always choose those :). Definitely agree with your advice on trying the manual way to learn how everything works. That was one of the best linux educational experiences ever, the first time I did it. That being said, unless you need a very specific and fine tuned install, a script saves so much time and so many brain cells.
    2
  575. Congratulations and all the best! Also, sweet SC2000 reference in there!
    2
  576. Maybe call the think pad a "TinkPad" since you will be tinkering with it?
    2
  577. This is what I love about compsci. Lets see if we can get C64 online in 2022! Why? No no no... you mean WHY NOT?!
    2
  578. Yep. I find myself using the terminal more often than I would have thought. Also bought a 568B T-shirt and a Linux is Awesome hoodie - they're great!!
    2
  579. That's a bossy video
    2
  580. Love your vids.....yes..Timeshift please
    2
  581. Glad youre feeling better! Cant wait for the olde open source knowledge to come!
    2
  582. I love how your website's domain suggests it's a shell script

  583. LEDoverload. Cheers from Edmonton Alberta.
    2
  584. Great and powerful concept. Well done. Next commands to contemplate: cron/crontab/etc and its "newer" incarnations. OR, the at/batch system. OR, even better: how to use man pages. "man crontab" v. "man 5 crontab"
    2
  585. sudo apt-get more Lil' Linux Lesson. ;) If you are going to cover the sudoers file, then perhaps some sudo syntax too?

  586. As a fellow sys admin and jealous new subscriber you are living the dream. Can’t wait to see what you put up.

  587. Now I see we'll need to keep circulating the Chromebooks to stop electronic waste. Repurpose the Chromebooks for great justice!
    2
  588. This was super cool, as someone who used to flash cynaogen and other custom androids.... This is SO easy compared to that. I like the unscripted format here too.
    2
  589. "The Internet - Ruining your Downloads folder since 1995", I LOVE those scattered comments.
    2
  590. This video is thoughtful, informed and insightful. It is a calming influence on the subject of social media. But seriously, did NOBODY else notice the Rocky Horror Picture Show reference at 6:36? chef's kiss
    2
  591. Try to grep, sort & pipe & wc something with a mouse in a single mouvement ...
    2
  592. The fact that working on medical devices can be dangerous does not mean that repair information should be hidden. If I take something in to be fixed by someone else I still want to know what is going to be done so I am well-informed.
    2
  593. 0:12 I guess You ll find that cool ; all the retro fest I went to it was- very cool :)
    2
  594. 08:47 "The long rectangular key" made me laugh so hard, I'm sure the entire street must have heard it.

  595. 3:14 Nick being Nick. :)

  596. it's a real shame so much information is disappearing onto discord channels instead of being posted to actual sites. p.s. i used to love flimbo's quest on my commodore 64.
    2
  597. Look up Ermanno. He’s my favourite YouTuber for Arch Linux. I learnt a lot from his videos. He does monthly arch install and change things up from time to time. Great way to get into Arch and learn about Linux in general
    2
  598. I always use the Terminal. :)
    2
  599. I very much appreciate the clapper.
    2
  600. Love the shirt! Wild Planet is an incredible album, and was my first exposure to the B-52's.
    2
  601. nice, ive always just been doing ssh-keygen -t ed25519 but so happy it's going to be the default now!
    2
  602. I have used arch before and I gotta say that would have made it far easier, but I feel if you really want to learn the system you want to do it all manually. It’s a fun experience either way the installer is just faster.
    2
  603. I knew there was something special about this channel when you made the short wave video… Now this is become one of my favorite channels… as usual, great content, fantastic host❤
    2
  604. Great video. I grew up using dumb terminals. I used to manage a SMB file server using a WYSE terminal back 2001. Thank you for keep computer history alive.
    2
  605.  @VeronicaExplains  btop.. awesome! Thx Veronica.. you are the best! now i can watch the rest of the video .... while installing btop. :DDD

  606. If gnomes were first identified by Paracelsus, and your laptop's main purpose relates to Gnome, I suggest some declination of Paracelsus's name for your laptop. To me the dative case would be appropriate here (and why wouldn't it?): Paracelso (I am not an expert here so if you go this route, please verify it with someone who is.)
    2
  607. First
    2
  608.  @VeronicaExplains  Perfect explanation, I was talking with my coworker Tim and I got ahold of some non-carbon forms. He showed me how the pressure sensitivity of the paper due the coating can be different (because the middle will get transferred onto and transfer while the top will transfer only and the bottom will only accept transfers). The printing in triplicate seems super cool and I asked about how they are manufactured and sometimes the sheets are printed separately and combined with a special adhesive so that only the stacks sit together. He also said something about standard being white, pink, yellow and that sometimes business use the non-carbon form templates to have a template and the write with a pen from there. If I remember right carbon copy comes from placing a carbon form between two sheets of paper and the pressure would create a carbon copy onto the other sheet. Very fascinating stuff.
    2
  609. I learned something new today... again. Thank you :)
    2
  610. Ha! I didn't expect it, but I learned something new.
    2
  611. Definitely seen this before on some OS (was it Windows?). It would bring up a list of processes that were locking the drive and give you the option to kill them.
    2
  612. Please do a video showing off the awesomeness of btrfs! 😁
    2
  613. HUGE Free Geek TC fan here! This was stellar!
    2
  614. Production value is getting better and better on those videos! Love to see it
    2
  615. Oh hello! Nice to hear from you again! I've actually been running Fedora 32 on my Dell PE R710 because Ubuntu jammy builds were making corrupt ISOs. Ended up installing KDE for just in case I want to use the desktop for a bit. It just flies through everything, despite the low spec GT620 I've got in there. (Yes, I threw a GPU into a server to sometimes use desktops on it. 😁)
    2
  616. It has to start somewhere. Definitely would be nice to see farming equipment to be repairable and I am sure it will get there over time. Medical Equipment should at least give the ability to make 3rd parties able to be certified to get repair (at least easier). It seems the bar for entry means having to be employed by the bio-med company to even touch the product.
    2
  617. This is just my obligatory algorithm user engagement comment. I'm not an arch user btw! Go Veronica! To the top!

  618. It's definitely Tangara time (loading up music on to an SD card for my Tangara right now) ^_^

  622. best retro vibe's from 2010 i love it

  623. Oh My God I Love It Yes I wish they still encluded the computer manual

  624. 8:39 wait, is that wind effect from final fantasy 3 from the SNES.
    2
  625. Can't wait to see your Altair 8800 build! I've been wanting to buy an IMSAI 8080 kit (the one designed by fellow countryman The High Nibble) for a while, but I haven't been able to justify the price. Looks like that Altair kit is a little cheaper, buuuuuuut maybe I'll wait to see how you go with it. Plus it lets me put off spending money on something that's not actual retro computers/parts or parts for projects that I've actually already started. Anyway, looks like VCFMW was a lot of fun, so thanks for taking us on your trip!
    2
  626. Great dog, looks very friendly ;)
    2
  627. SOMA FM mentioned!

  628. I understand

  629. What to name it? George. It’s only logical. 😂😂
    2
  630. Just recently came across your channel. Super educational and informative. Also love your humour, amazing work!
    2
  631. I understand :)
    2
  632. It was fun meeting you at vcfmw 2023. Keep up the awesome content!
    2
  633. You prefer Star Trek over Vim?! Unsubscribed!
    2
  634. I swear every time you say your intro I expect you to say "Greeting! And welcome to Veronica explains. I'm Veronica and this is explains", but you never say the last part. Hope you add it in one day as a joke
    2
  635. Bravo! Your video is an excellent defense of the terminal. I used CP/M and AppleDOS at first, then DOS, Windows, and OS/2, then Linux, and used the command line interface in all those systems. I enjoy the prettiness of a GUI, but in every system I have used, the command line is usually the faster and simpler way to get admin stuff and file management done. Thanks! 😀
    2
  636. Cool video. As for the loading speed of the 1541: we had a speed-dos setup and a parallel link from the floppy drive to the C64. Reduced loading times drastically. Even used the F-Keys as hotkeys, for "list", "load" and "run".

  637. a comment for the YouTube algorithm

  638. Great content and well researched. Keep it up!

  639. The BBS part was something new for me :) Thanks for knowledge! :)

  640. RIP Ian Murdock, who went from the earth too soon for my taste. I am an artist and he was a patron of mine. We intended to collaborate on a Linux family tree poster, but I was unable to bring his vision for it into reality. I still sometimes consider giving it another go.
    2
  641. Good timing, it's ABBAs 50th today!
    2
  642. But Veronica... Didn't you know you can run some Linux apps in Chrome!? j/k 🤣 I have. It's not good. Storage is too limited, things like Libre Office don't run well at all. It's just better to go native.
    2
  643. Don't save that .ogg!
    2
  644. Nice! I just ordered that Altair 8800 due to your video. Never knew it existed.
    2
  645. I am a 90s kid and used a hand-me-down model m keyboard with a hand-me-down 386. I had no idea that the hardware I thought was lame because it was old had so much cachet until I showed photos of my childhood bedroom to my keyboard enthusiast coworkers.
    2
  646. The fact this can connect to the internet is amazing and says a lot about how powerful philosophy can be. For instance the OSI/TCPIP model, standards and protocols. Because we all agree on standards and protocols it allows anyone in the world from any time to interact and use computers and networks. One day we will see the end of the current model. If the current model is this amazing just imagine the model of tomorrow. Science is awesome.
    2
  647. What a great video Veronica. Subbed to your channel.
    2
  648. Awesome as always. Thank you Veronica

  649. that looks like it was so much fun!

  650. I'm a Arch Linux guy always have been, its very good!

  651. This looks sooo fun and awesome, especially your Mavica Selfies!!

  654. I love hyperlinks

  655.  @VeronicaExplains  Honest question - if it is writeable memory, isn't that the opposite of read-only memory?
    2
  656. Glad you're feeling better, and quite a nice iMac you have there!

  659. Interestingly enough, Ryo Kawasaki has some pedigree! Per Wikipedia [1], he "was a Japanese jazz fusion guitarist, composer and band leader, best known as one of the first musicians to develop and popularize the fusion genre and for helping to develop the guitar synthesizer in collaboration with Roland Corporation and Korg." Alas! he passed beyond The Rim in 2020. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryo_Kawasaki#1979%E2%80%931990_(as_inventor_and_programmer)

  660. OOooo cool, good weekend, succes to the new job !!! your own boss.....
    2
  661. I was trying distros before Warty, but I recall trying that one shortly after it came out, and loved it right away. It was one of the first, if not THE first distro that earned a full time partition on my main drive. Keep making the great videos!
    2
  662. > prof.brunotsouza > You please let me take this chance you've just given to us now, Veronica, through your video about "Pop!_OS" distro, and leave my (shared) comment from a guy who is one of your non-native english-speaker followers who is, actually, from abroad, I mean, not living in your nice land, wherever it's in USA (I started watching you recently): YOUR ENGLISH SOUNDS PERFECT, CLEAR AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND! Of course, for learning anything complex, anything like this technical stuff you teach us so well, the sharp way language is used and spoken becomes crutial. I seldon have to look down to the automatic generated subtitles which, as you probably knows, are usually full of funny "A-i" mistakes (don't blame it, it's nothing but artificial). Besides it, you have this nice touch I love so much! THANKS ;-) Don't forget poor GNU, so lonely it became... what a pity.

  664. Hey! Thanks so much for videoing the VCF panel. Much appreciated.
    2
  665.  @VeronicaExplains  i see that. You really invested a lot of money on connection to wifi and Ethernet. That’s a lot of dedication to give the Commodore 64 access to today’s internet. Loved the video.
    2
  666. Yay! This has been my favorite crossover so far this year.
    2
  667. Love Veronica!! Appreciate your videos and knowledge!! & Your Smile!! Rocks!!

  669. Thunderbird has been my RSS reader for years. Thank you very much for the Awesome RSS add-on, I was using Pale Moon to find feeds.
    2
  670. Can I put this on a CD and use it on a 386? No bossy answers please.
    2
  671.  @VeronicaExplains  really like your video. and yes it is exalty a bird with santa hat
    2
  672. I think it would be fun to take a distro like Ubuntu, grab the earliest version you can find and install it on your white Mac-book. Then see how far you can upgrade through the releases before it either breaks or is no longer supported. Or use a modern PC and find out how far back in the distro list you can go before it breaks all the drivers. This isn't strictly an "explanation" but it would be interesting to see just how compatible the OS can be with older hardware, or hardware with older OS's
    2
  673. This is awesome stuff Veronica!! I just installed PopOS on my ThinkPad T460 today, and already it feels so bloody good - the ability to switch between tiling and not is great. I've barely scratched the surface, I can already see this is gonna be a fantastic journey...Thanks for introducing me to PoP!!! Also yeah, definitely more Arch content too - I used Arch with i3-gaps for 4 years and loved it, so the idea of combining these new tools/features with Arch is something I relish - I'll always enjoy experimenting with it to see how far I can push it without breaking it too much, so much fun 🤪 Thanks a'mil 🤩

  674. She didn't even say "less secure" she said "often less secure," a qualification which, while probably more accurate, is not one I've ever heard across any of the cryptography guides I've read, which all uniformly advise avoiding RSA.
    2
  675. Oh ... I thought we all just simply liked using Gentoo inside of Chrome shaped into a poorly designed desktop os gui. My bad.
    2
  676. Arch? Gnome?.. All my stuffs 😊... Nice!
    2
  677. Thanks
    2
  678. Hello Veronica! Your videos about linux are the best on YouTube, I've learned a lot. Linux is awesome and so are you. ;)
    2
  679. Love your videos Veronica!. Greetings from Honduras. Keep up the good work.
    2
  680. i used to teach people using solitair to get them familiar with click and drag. Then I would use notepad to play with window controls. It isn't explaining the spacebar, but I thought it was a good way of introducing people to windows computers.
    2
  681. Great video. Any thoughts on the use of the word folder vs. the word directory? For some reason, I seem to have emotions attached the topic.
    2
  682. "fedorable" might be the best hostnames I have ever seen!!
    2
  683. @VeronicaExplains  Fingers crossed for us all! I got lucky and wasn't working VCFMW weekend 2023. And I work 50% of all weekends so it is literally a coin toss.
    2
  684. I switched to Trackball, its underrated
    2
  685. This is awesome. I never had a Commodore 64, my first PC was a 286 with a 2400 baud modem. But I do remember figuring out the modem program for the first time and getting the shockingly loud success tune playing. I was on the local radio station's BBS and I talked with some random stranger for 30 mins before my mom kicked me off to make a call. It was glorious and I miss that experience in a lot of ways.
    2
  686. I name most of my network devices after Adventure Time characters! I try to pick one that is at least a little similar to the hardware too. Like, my Arch server is named treetrunks because it's a pretty old, and I have two raspberry pi's that are named Fionna and Jake. For your thinkpad I think i would choose Gunter or Guntalina, one of the penguins from the show :D I use arch on everything I can, I really enjoy being able to go from one system to another and being comfortable with one main set of tools for it. Although I'm used to installing it the old fashioned way, I am really excited about this script. One of the things I hear from my friends when we talk about arch is that they don't want to to go through the install process, and they already use linux. The long way is just too much of an inconvenience for a lot of people, and while it it's the best for some things, like learning or customization, those aren't the only fantastic aspects of arch these days
    2
  687. Had some problems while running MX Linux 21.1 ahs but after watching your video, I installed Fedora 36 KDE, am happy to see that Fedora KDE has been running super smooth. I would have never looked at Fedora but when you said ''I think this distro deserves a lot more love from the Linux community and it does not get the attention that it deserves"; that is what inspired me to check out Fedora. Thanks Veronica ! Keep up the good work !

  688. Btw: DIN is the acronym for "Deutsches Institut für Normung" (German Institute for Standardization), which standardized this kind of connector in the early 1970s

    2
  690. Super cool video! I'm using 20.3 now. Linux Mint has resurrected my 2011 MBP. Woohoo!
    2
  691. I'm thinking about going into IT now that I know that Linux is a marketable skill and not just a hobby lol. I'd love to see a vid on what a sysadmin is and what yall do on a day-to-day
    2
  692. Thank you so much for an awesome video and I completely agree this spin deserves more attention.
    2
  693. Ah the throwback! My first Linux experience was Ubuntu 9.04 (I still got the CD Canonical used to ship to people!) I remember spending my school vacations up all night messing with it and playing the different games that were included! Good times! Now running Pop! daily and having a blast. Keep up the good work, your videos are very fun and instructional.
    2
  694. Thank you for spreading the love for RSS! #Nanogang!
    2
  695. I played this game all the time on my Packard Bell Legend 2CD 486 PC before I was exposed to the joys of Linux and I still play it from time to time.

  699. I'm thinking about going back to Debain. I also noticed something. Debian 12's codename is Bookworm, and 13's will be Trixie. Kinda seems like a possible my little pony naming theme going on. If the next version after trixie is "rarity" I'll know for sure. :)
    2
  700. I'm not sure if it is me, but I couldn't find the RSS feed in this youtube page. I even used a RSS finder...., But besides that great video! Looking forward to part 2, and do Mutt too!!
    2
  701. One day the computers we are using today will be as retro as the ones in this video, so take good care of them.
    2
  702. You give me Technology Connections vibes!
    2
  703. You’ve convinced me to try Linux Mint.
    2
  704. Definitely +1 for the BSD video! I never really got what can be better (aside from legal stuff) in BSD compared to Linux
    2
  705. When are the 3 of you all coming to Toronto?
    2
  706. You rock! I love your videos... your attitude... your sense of humor... your brilliant mind... your enthusiasm... and your smile. --- This was the perfect way to end my year. My husband and I wish you continued success in 2024. ~ 💖 from, Allen (& Mike)

  707. Bit of a shame it only officially supports Google devices, but I can understand why. It's a bit weird that you must first give hundreds of dollars to Google in order to avoid their services.

  708. It's really great. Gorgeous, incredibly intuitive. Best time I've had tiling since Windows 3.1. That said, it's got a ton of "Alpha problems." For example: if I want screen capture (screenshots, OBS, whatever), I have to log in, log out, then log back in. And that's honestly the least of my issues atm. Even so, it's my daily driver, but I'd be lying if I said that the chaos wasn't part of the appeal. 🙃

  709. OpenSSH is awesome, and so are you! This was a good bit of SSH info, and I found it nicely informative. It also reminded me to go clean up and regenerate my keys!

  719. Good Fun! Great job differentiating the Desktop Environment, Window Manager and Compositor elements! And having the Amiga's 1985 text to speech utility ask the questions made me smile bigly! 100% agree on the Mint recommendation for Linux newbies -- I've probably done a couple dozen Mint installs for friends and family with great appreciations FUTURE SUBJECT suggestion: Do a similar breakdown of the Linux Audio stack and subsystems now that you've covered the graphics side. (You can close your eyes, but you can't close your ears!) 😉

  720. if the rivets are healthy, dont bolt mod it. very uncommon to find a model m that still has them in place. if you do decide on it, maybe consider screw mod instead, its easier and does the same thing.

  723. I have an old phone as an MP3 player, helps keeping my main phones battery ready while listening to music. Lovely work bringing life to this old piece of tech, keep it up!

  724. I think you should wait to do the bolt mod until it is mechanically needed. If it ain't broke, don't fit it!

  729. Doesn't quiiite match with what I have going on my XFCE install on Debian, but I love that I installed it, added my local rock radio station (Radio X in Manchester, England) and got to listen to Misery Business by Paramore in a matter of seconds. Only thing I'd want now is to get it integrated with lastfm. Thanks for the video!

  732. Thanks, much appreciated Veronica for the V.C.F. Panel footage and your channel itself.
    2
  733. I understand. And welcome back! My theory is that you've been away building your own awesome Linux distro. ;)
    2
  734. New person here that wanted to say very well done. I hope you do more Commodore and Amiga videos because this one was one of the best. You have a great way of presenting. Thank You and keep up the good work.

  739. Saw all of you walking around at VCFMW19, but was unable to say 'HI', due to the many inquisitive customers, at my tables. So HI! :) I enjoy your entertaining & educative content. Keep up the awesome job! You're spot-on with your assessment. Documentation on all things, especially Tech is sorely lacking these days. I actually had a class in college for this very subject, which was called Technical Writing. It impressed upon me these concepts covered in your video. I've always had a desire to understand how things work. Being able to explain those things, in a manner so that other people can understand only seems natural. Thank you for putting that concept out there. :)

  744. 1st haha. Arch has always been shambolic to me.
    2
  745. Great tutorial. All good options for the newcomer. Ventoy is nice but not perfect. So, one of the other tools you mentioned is a great start. It's also nice hearing someone talking about winget. It's a good tool for windows admin.
    2
  746. I only recently discovered the "-h" option. I use it all the time now (because I am a human) :-)

  747. I have been using Mint for a few years. I was previously running Ubuntu with Gnome 2. I love Gnome 2. I switched to Mint after Unity came out. I run Mint with MATE; which is like Gnome 2. So my GUI is just way I like it. On my laptop I run Mint with XFCE since it's a lighter weight GUI. I love that Linux let's me pick and choose different GUIs. When I was new to Linux I tried a number of different GUIs. I eventually settled on Gnome 2 and now MATE. I really like having the menu bar up top and the running applications bar on the bottom. I am glad I switched to Linux. The last version of Windows that I used was XP.

  753. By watching this video and reading this comment, you are a winner! You won a prize from Veronica. That prize is a video. Click play on all of Veronica's videos to be an even bigger winner! You may have already won, which makes you almost as much of a winner as Veronica. Seriously... She's a Cobol programmer. That screams "winner" louder than any prize anyone won. But I still think Veronica's viewers should be called "Prize Winners". (Prize winners should watch another video.) Will this get banned, blocked, or shadowed? I don't know. Probably. Worth it for my own chuckle.

  754. Last Time I installed Arch, I mounted my new disk into a VM from ubuntu to do it ^^' And that was a great idea, 'cause there was a lot of "debugging" to do :'D

  756. C64 was my first computer. As a kid, I loved to play ELITE, an open space economy and combat game. It was so ahead of it’s time that ELITE: Dangerous is a recent remake expansion to this day. After the C64, I got to use the TRS-80, the Apple 2E, then the Apple 2GS. Yeah, I’m getting old.

  757. Nice "Matrix" reference :)

  758. One of the things I'd like to see more at these festivals are computer bulletin board systems (BBS). I know someone who currently runs one was there with a table and had some BBSes running, but I'd like to see more of that. BBSes played a very important role in early computing.

  760. Oddly enough, I am watching this on my 2012 Macbook Air. Although it is still running Mac OS. I use Mint on two other computers, and I think it is a great operating system for daily use. Thanks for letting me know about the Mint 21 coming out.

  761. Alt-. does not seem to work in vi mode. After some googling I found that adding the following to ~/.inputrc will do it: set editing-mode vi set keymap vi-insert "\e.":yank-last-arg Those who do not have a ~/.inputrc can just create it. Up to now I simply used !$ but Alt-. has the advantage of going back in history when pressed repeatedly.

  762. This is a very cool channel! Thanks for the uploads! I was taking care of my dad until a few years ago and in the 80’s he was a CPA and used Banner Mania on his DOS computer. Well, after he retired he would go to the VFW bar and he liked to print out birthday banners but his DOS computer was starting to have issues so I copied the program to a floppy disk 💾 and installed it on a Windows XP system that would run DOS programs and I plugged in his Epson LQ 2550 dot matrix printer. That Epson is a tank and there are plenty of places that still sell ribbons for them so I’d buy a dozen at a time. The paper is easy to get too. Windows 7 won’t run DOS programs btw. The drivers are available online for older models. Btw, those graphics on your sweater from the old print program totally rocks! 😁

  766. Kits are about $100 if you want to DIY it. The soldering is pretty easy if you get the SMT components preassembled, which adds about $10-20 to the cost depending on if you want RTC or not (most people do not need RTC). It does take a few hours to do it all though. Also, assembled prices will be dropping soonish as well, likely to around $130-150.

  775. Great video Veronica! Your style reminds a little of 'Technology Connections' also on YouTube. You are both great and thanks again :)
    2
  776.  @VeronicaExplains  Thank you. I'm primarily a windows guy (NOT BY CHOICE I actually hate windows) Now I can look into finding a Linux distribution that will work for me and just run windows in a VM for those critical apps I need. Right now I'm looking really hard at Pop Os! I I think I spin it up in Hyper-v and if I like it wipe my drive, install Pop Os and run Windows 11 in a VM. I have much to learn. Thank you for all you do.
    2
  777. Great video (as always, amiright?)! Love your sense of humor. Thanks so much for the breakdown, I know a decent amount of this stuff and I definitely learned some things thanks to you. I've been digging into handheld emulation a lot lately and it was nice to see another aspect of classic game preservation and enjoyment. Now I go to share your video with a few friends that will enjoy it.

  778. Having KVM CLI tutorial would be amazing, thanks!

  779. I remember my first Linux experience as a young'un was booting to the 4.10 Live CD on my family's G3 iMac. It took 10 minutes to boot from the slow disc drive at the time.

  781. Long time watcher, first time commenter! I've been using Mint with XFCE since 2018 when Valve released their Proton compatibility layer for games. Video games were the last things that kept me tethered to Windows, and I've been happily daily driving XFCE ever since! I love how speedy it is on everything from my low end laptop that I use for my writing projects all the way up to my main rig......

  784. I believe this video effectively demonstrates the installation process of a custom ROM from the perspective of an average user. Veronica astutely identified the noticeable lack of features, such as the absence of an app store during the installation. I must acknowledge that, as a power user, I overlooked these apparent issues that can pose challenges for individuals without extensive expertise and wrongfully blamed many for not trying to do "a little bit more" learning. Nevertheless, her review of this ROM remains commendable, considering the aforementioned shortcomings.

  785. Were you just listening to my phone call? A couple hours ago had mentioned to my friend I was leaving Twitter, but didn't know where to go.. Thank you! The BBS is BACK! :face-blue-smiling:

  788. I found one of the rare i3 chromebooks with removable/upgradeable storage with a 1080p 100% sRGB display and put mx linux (debian 12 bookworm) on it. What a find lol, it's basically a decent little laptop now and under 30 dollars in a lot. Repasted it too. Honestly I feel super lucky to have found a model like that, it even has the SD card slot.

  832. > prof.brunotsouza > You please let me take this chance you've just given to us now, Veronica, through your video about "Arch Install script", and leave my (shared) comment from a guy who is one of your non-native english-speaker followers who is, actually, from abroad, I mean, not living in your nice land, wherever it's in USA (I started watching you recently): YOUR ENGLISH SOUNDS PERFECT, CLEAR AND VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND! Of course, for learning anything complex, anything like this technical stuff you teach us so well, the sharp way language is used and spoken becomes crutial. I seldon have to look down to the automatic generated subtitles which, as you probably knows, are usually full of funny "A-i" mistakes (don't blame it, it's nothing but artificial). Besides it, you have this nice touch I love so much! THANKS ;-)

  833. Yes. KDE CONNECT is a quality of life improvement for Linux users . No weird issues it just works seamlessly I absolutely love using it in my workflow

  836. Ah dot matrix. It hits that nostalgia button. Through all of elementary school, middle school, and into high school. When printing out something in computer lab, that's the sound I heard. Going back to elementary school in the 80's, it would stop to think. 🤣

  841. HI Veronica. Thanks for your video! What are the limitations of having HTTPS available in a C64? Is it because if it is too slow (and if so, do you phreaps have any idea on how much slow?) or there is any other practical limitation?

  847. I bought a Unicomp New Model M in early 2021. Had some issue with its USB controller, but was able to get a replacement. Overall a very good keyboard. The only thing is I wish they would have offered a beige color scheme.

  853. It can do many of the multicarts. If you can take it apart, you can send pictures of the internal PCB and one of the NES devs will likely be able to either tell you what settings to use to make it work or add support for it if it can't already. If the pictures aren't enough you'll probably need to send it to someone unless it's easy and cheap to get. NES is the hardest one to support because the ROMs do not have headers and thus there is no way to automatically determine how the cartridge is laid out. There is some automatic detection which works by reading the first few bytes of the ROM, hashing it, and then seeing if it's a known ROM. If it is, it can suggest settings that should work. But, if it isn't, then you need to tell it how to dump it.

  854.  @VeronicaExplains  Love the t-shirt, REALLY nice quality! Many thanks ☺

  855. I don't advise Debian Testing as an alternative. If you want to upgrade then Debian Sid is the one you want. Because Debian often holds back or removes software from Testing but this doesn't happen with Unstable (Sid.) I found this out for myself when I upgraded to Testing but now use Debian Sid for this reason. As for the KDE desktop I also have had a lot of problems with it. On Debian Trixie the same thing happened to me. An update did remove all of the desktop. This has on happened on Debian Sid a few days ago during an update. All of my KDE desktop got removed. Also on my other laptop which has the Mate desktop it removed all lot the KDE games I had. The problem is that KDE is going though some major changes with their upgrade from KDE6 to KDE6. Also they are updating from QT5 to QT6 and Debian doesn't have all of the QT6 libraries needed to run the KDE, QT6 and KDE desktop as yet. So if you are going to use Debian Sid the KDE desktop is not the one to go to. It is better to install another desktop such as Mate, Gnome, Xfce, or any other GTK desktop. Since their libraries don't change very much and they don't depend on QT6 or KDE apps to run. If you want to use KDE then use Kubuntu or another Ubuntu based Linux. Since the Ubuntu based KDE versions do have Plasma 6 but are more stable. Because they seem to have ironed out the bugs. As I said you should avoid Debian Testing and go for Debian Sid since there a fewer problems. If you avoid the KDE Desktop and also LXQT which has many KDE libraries. Then you will be fine. If you do want Debian with KDE then stick with Bookworm which is Stable.

  856. Congrats! Just like @adriansdigitalbasement I hope you not only make ends meet but thrive! You make great informative and entertaining videos.

  862. "I hate big phones." Thank you! I don't object to having a smartphone, but why does the smallest reasonable one get bigger with every generation? Thank you for the video and your insights, this seems like an intriguing option next time I set up an android phone or if I want to put a new OS on my old Pixel. The setup seemed pretty straightforward, but as you said a First-Run wizard to help set up a store and some other basics would make it almost perfect.

  863. Ubuntu was also my first long used distro, I started with 4.10 too greetings from Chicago.

  867. Hi, Veronica. I enjoyed our conversation this afternoon at Free Geek. (I'm the guy who wrote COBOL for the first 20 years of his professional life and donated the IMSAI (built by me in 1976) to Free Geek. It was good indeed to meet you and I'm happy to be seeing your community-based Linux-oriented channel surviving. Cheers! Doug Meyer

  871. As someone who hasn't botched the Arch install process, and thus not many reruns, I still enjoy the wiki way. Plus, I enjoy the granularity of it. Being a very particular person, I like deciding/knowing as much about what's running on my personal systems as possible. Also, running as little as possible. The addition of archinstall is nice, for sure. Also, call it "furnace" or "forge". 😉

  879. What? Don't save that ogg? Blasphemy.

  880. Thanks for the info! Moving from vbox after it broke on the 5.17 kernel. I wonder if you could differentiate between the formats and their pros and cons (i.e. vdi, kvm, qcow2 etc...)

  881. "64 kilobytes... that's right, kilobytes!" followed by the gentle yet intense head shake at 03:23 is IT!

  882. Thank you Veronica for this energetic tour of our show. It's the only way us organizers get to see it anymore! So many exhibits I didn't even know were there. Next year, I'll shake every hand (or maybe a fist bump considering how this year went ;)

  885. I've quite liked Chromebooks for a while, mainly because my laptop use case tends to be something that can be done browser based anyway and I love the simplicity + great battery life. For any "real" work, I tend to sit down at my desktop. That being said, a second life for my Chromebook as a Linux laptop when the support ends is a fantastic idea! On why someone might dual boot, one of the Chromebook draws for me was the easy access to Google Play apps. Now in the end I don't think I actually use that feature, personally, I know some workplaces allow "Bring You Own Device" access to apps/tools on their secure network and it's usually done through android/iOS apps, so that might be where the someone might use dual boot. Great video!

  886. Wait, you said 'baked into the Linux kernel', and you didnt make a joke of it. ????? :)

  887. Recently got a nice deal on a very old Cisco PoE switch. When attempting to SSH into it, I wasn't supersized that doing so required setting flags for algorithms no longer supported by default, like SHA1 and aes-256-cbc.

  888. the Amiga has the ability to run Macintosh software

  889. Interesting! The C64 emulator is called the "VICE" and the videogame "GTA: VICE CITY" starts with the C64 command prompt. Just a fun fact! 🙂

  899.  @VeronicaExplains  Didn't mean to, so I fixed.
    1
  900.  @VeronicaExplains  Indeed, Yes. Ubuntu Mint was the first I tried, and that was disheartening. Thinking that it might be a resource or driver issue, I tried Xfce Mint, with the same results. But LMDE works just fine, although I found it more responsive after I switched from the mandatory Cinnamon to Xfce. And there's an interesting FAQ on MrChromebox's website called "How can I get audio working under Linux?" that helped me, and hope it helps you too. I have a Chromebook 14 Careena.

  921. I do miss my Amiga 500 from high school. I didn't have enough money to get those fancy hard drives, but could justify an 8MB Supra 500RX expansion, 2 additional floppy drives, Fat Agnus upgrade, and a ROM switcher. RAMdisk the boot drive and you are off to the races! That black case does look pretty snazzy. Can't wait to see it in action! Do they have a mod for a matching 1084S?

  926. Awesome video! I may try Arch sometime now. As for a name..."Roscoe". Have no idea why..when you asked for a name that popped in my head. Keep up the awesome work!

  927. Heh, I had Shortwave already running when I saw youtube offering this video. Thanks for details and recommendations!
    1
  928. Hi Veronica, great video, I just started re awakening my Commodore 64 and would like to know how and where to get the modern SD drive that hooks into an old Commodore 64, do you have a video explaining how you got that to work? Peace-V
    1
  929. Veronica, I checked out shortwave and absolutely love it 😍. Groove Salad is lit!!! Thanks again!❤🖖

  930. 20:06 I appreciate the Square One TV reference. (At least I assumed that’s what it was a reference to 🙂).

  932. Dedicated and instructive video Verónica. My respect to your knowledge, very admirable. Cheers from Argentina!!!👏👏👏👏👏

  933. ​ @Veronica Explains Thank you! :) And very interesting video. In my childhood I was playing C64 games in my friends parten's house. :D "Donkey at skyscrapers" or smt like this. :D It was mindblowing. xD
    1
  934. My family never had anything from Commodore (sadly) but mom still has an Apple IIc+, which I recently figured out how to bootstrap from a retro PC and I made a bootable terminal disk for her to use with her new WiFi Modem 🙂 Ultimately she switched to another retro PC for BBSing but it was a fun experiment - and I got to tear-down and restore the IIc+ in the process. Neat little machine!!

  935. I had a commodore Amiga 2000 HD and I loved it! ❤️❤️❤️

  936. I feel I may be going back to the command line, thanks to this sort of thing. Also, at 1:30 I liked the undertaking to treat comments with all the patience of a substitute 8th grad maths teacher. That should be an ANSI standard.
    1
  937. Pretty! AMIGA , in portuguese, it's like friend, but a girl. No sense comment 😁

  938. Was that a weird al reference?

  939. I love your perspective, philosophy, attitude, and information!

  944. I teach middle school kids to code, the kids are issued a very locked down Chromebook by the district, which might be the worst platform to learn to code on. I have a stack of older laptops that I use that I install Linux on. Linux is alien to kids, especially my kids as most come from extremely lower socio-economic levels and their only electronic device might be that Chromebook. I use Linux Mint because it is a bit more easier for kids to transition to and begin learning Linux.

  947. My go to cloning tool since it came. Also, coming from a retired teacher, nice job!

  948. I have got to agree about knowing the basics. I mean you can jump into an ages old box on a 2.x kernel and LS will still be there.
    1
  949. Well, approaching 70, stretching is still required, grin! Meantime I know of one company that uses Debian as their "industrial" Linux, simply because it is rock stable. I've tested Linux Mint Debian Edition, and that is a lovely distribution. I hope they manage to keep it up.

  958. modem stands for Monumentally Overpriced Data Eating Machine ... it was a device for trippling your phone bills ..
    1
  959.  @VeronicaExplains  you are freaking awesome! And yeah, I wouldn't skip a relaunched C64 ad either... or a Commander X16 ad, which is actually more likely! I was worried about a barrage of VPN ads and other crap nobody really needs, but then again the same thing could be said about C64 and Cmdr X16, so it is difficult to place the border of what's acceptable and what isn't... and you have to make a living somehow and probably have a family to feed. :-\

  960. :virtualhug: @VeronicaExplains

  961. I like how you reference your sources in the video, and as the material is being shown. Nice. Many YouTube videos don't even both referencing their sources at all.

  962. Nice nod to MST3K. "Keep circulating the tapes"

  963. LED overload! Got enough LEDs and ESP32s to light up vegas. Can never have enough.
    1
  964. Hi Veronica, I just wanted to say a quick thank you for this video, and the numerous others I've enjoyed on your channel. This video in particular though, helped me to work around an authentication issue I've been having with SSH, since I replaced some hardware in my server... still don't know what went wrong or what fixed it exactly but it's working now.
    1
  965. Great video and instruction. I love watching your videos. You are very talented. I just bought a Wyse WY-55 to use today. It will be here in about a week, I expect. I can't find any documentation giving part numbers for keyboards to use with it. What is the part number of the keyboard you are using? Thank you.

  966. Commodore 64 looks like a "thick keyboard!" 😂 Veronica, you just popped-up in my YouTube videos (without explanation!), and I love your infectious enthusiasm for the subject! 👍😂

  971. About to make some popcorn tonight and fire this video up! Love Veronica Explains! 😁
    1
  972. RIP netbooks. I switch between "user" and u s r depending on the context and who I'm talking to. If you're trying to tell someone what to type then "u s r" tends to be clearer, but when just mentioning a directory like /usr/share/sounds just saying "user" is easier :)
    1
  973. @VeronicaExplains  Great video. You are the most fun. Can't wait till the next conference for more Mavica selfies and Jimbal adventures.
    1
  974. collapsing a bit under pressure. yes, very relatable. I am SO here for future Amiga / Commodore content!
    1
  975. BBS and local user clubs were our lifelines for solving technical issues with our Commodores. Back then you could easily spend a day or two figuring out something like your printer interface switch settings. If you got lucky someone on the BBS or the local user group would be familiar with pinouts or command lines for the particular printer and interface. User groups would often meet at the local library. Fun times.
    1
  976. That second take at the end was so perfectly incorrect you should have left it in to see if anyone noticed. Also the number of times I've had ventoy not boot on me is > 10 so I usually use etcher as a fallback.
    1
  977. I just found you, and I am not disappointed!

  978. Felix Haecker? More like Veronica Explaens. Great video! As always. (don't save that OGG in the comments)

  981. Just a correction. The c64 was actually a gift from god. A trailblazer. The best. And then the Amiga500. :)

  985. Hola Veronica, i love your content!!!
    1
  986. Good video showing Arch isn't such a pain. I'm on Pop! OS currently from some of your previous videos. My suggested name for the laptop: Archwizard Gnomeo. Side story: "Gnomeo and Juliet" is an animated clip I stumbled upon and yet seems fitting for the division of Arch linux users and non-users (my past perception is it's for the knowledgeable linux users vs other distros that are more new-to-linux friendly). Gnomeo is a blue gnome (check the arch logo color) and Juliet is a red gnome. The archinstall script you show is the union of the two groups... It's your laptop, do as you please, but I think it's a good gname.
    1
  987. I'm not much of a distro hopper. More whatchya call a Debian Devotee. I like Fedora, Ubuntu, Manjaro, etc. but I like Debian. I think Linux distros are like clothes in the '70's; not everyone looks good in beige.
    1
  988.  @VeronicaExplains  almost as scary as dracut>

  989. and YES ..... please more videos about the C64 stuff, I am sure you know lots of things 🙂 Thanks in advance

  991. This was awesome to watch. My first linux experience was Ubuntu 14 in my school, and then using peppermint os on old netbooks, also at my school. I did the switch to linux a couple years ago and I do everything on Fedora now. Thanks for making these vids Veronica!

  992. Me too!! I was going to suggest that one :-)

  996. Thanks for the tip on the WIFI modem. Good price on it.

  997. My mom works at a credit union and used these terminals until like 1995.

  998. Love that MiSTer menu in the intro of your video ;-)

  999. Stumbled upon this but my comment is completely unrelated. I see a Ventolin inhaler in the background. Which made me excited because I have asthma and that’s the kind I prefer. And I’m for there most part an IT guy. So double awesome! I don’t know why that made me so excited 😅.
    1
  1000. 6:00 That is something you got wrong. It was the other way around, my (grand)parents begged me to go offline to use the phone. But this wasn't a big problem, they liked reading and writing letters.
    1
  1001. That "first IDE" made me wonder if that might be Borland Turbo Pascal. Those were the days.
    1
  1002. Firstly, great channel - discovered you a couple of weeks ago and have enjoyed your content immencely 😀👍 Totally agree, I'm an absolute command-line junky. After using MacOS exclusively since 1995, I switched to ArchLinux with i3-gaps (no desktop) 4 1/2 years ago, on an old donated laptop and it was the best experiance ever...learned so much, the terminal (and linux) opened up so many more opportunities and ways of understaning scripts, code, and system files in ways, I think, not even possible in the GUI. Command-line is fun...Man pages are cool...Viva le terminale !! P.S. your vid about QEMU-KVM was great - would you consider a vid explaining Type 1 hypervisors and perhaps how to implement them on a laptop. I have a ThinkPad T460 and would love to try this on it 😊 P.P.S yeah, the System Administators Handbook is awesome!!

  1006. You have a very thorough and accurate grasp of the 80s computing scene! Well presented and very interesting to watch! The C64 was out of my price range at a few thousand bucks lol.

  1007. My daily driver and I love it so much. I think I'll revive some old PC's and install mint on them to revive them.

  1010. So many wins with the SimCity... 2K? Was that SimCity 2K? -- transportation advisor reference at 4:04 ish.

  1011. And I imagine their reply is too often the same as my reaction the first time I saw that in SC2K. "Okay, that's SCARY -- wait, no. That doesn't make any sense. It's just another budget line item; it can't be that bad. I'm just going to lower it a tiny bit here to get through the month and OH GOD EVERYTHING IS FALLING APART MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP"

  1012. We did have /. sending hundreds of visitors to websites, though. And later, fark. ;)

  1013. Found this channel trying to get linux on my chromebook. Thanks!
    1
  1014. I have been using linux for about 20 years. I swap distros by using a desktop with a hot swap disk bay, I can power off and put in a new hard drive in a minute. 120gb SSDs are very cheap, so I have a stack of them. My Arch distro is Manjaro, I like XFCE and Manjaro was the easy way to get an Arch distro up and running. I tend to always go with what I know and use ext4, so would be interested to learn more about btrfs. Thanks for the informative and entertaining content.

  1015. ahh lovely havent seen contiki in ages! sweet video!

  1016. Oh great! I've been wondering why RSA is still so common as default. -- Edit -- I loved both the early intro and early outro!
    1
  1017. Oh boy, another precocious use case of my R710....
    1
  1018. Great video! In your opinion, what is the best linux distro for gaming? You had mentioned that linux mint wasn't the best if you upgrade your graphics card regularly
    1
  1019. Thank you! I've been using more RSS lately to avoid the algorithms and I love that I can move it to the terminal!

  1020. calling it "fuser" may be technically wrong, but it does sound a lot cooler (which is what matters)
    1
  1021. 2:37 - That background looks oddly familiar. I wonder where you got the inspiration from.
    1
  1022. @yt_algorithm Veronica's channel is useful and helpful. Please publicize her efforts repeatedly and widely.
    1
  1023. I haven't even started watching the video, and I already clicked on thumb up, just because "Commodore 64" is in the title.
    1
  1024. 10:27 they were so amazing. Compared to all the other MP3 players on the market. Looking at you Zune. Lol
    1
  1025. Thanks, I’ve been using Linux for about a month and I didn’t know about the -a or -l arguments which I will start using often.

  1026. Idea. Make the fall 2ban video and stay a timer to see how long until someone links you your own video to explain fail2ban to you 😂

  1037. Love it, Veronica. I've always appreciated that you bring your own music to your channel, and can't wait to hear what more you'll do with this. Just noticed your MST3K reference on your end card... Very awesome.

  1038. ​ @VeronicaExplains  i was thinking about the live disk actually, since i do have one prepped and ready with Linux Mint (i downloaded it from the download button, the 21.2 Victoria version) so I'm not sure if that's the Ubuntu based that you mentioned, but regardless, I'm thinking i could use the live disk, try some stuff out between my tablet and my laptop and see if the process is just as painless as it is on Windows. I've tried the same ISO file in a virtual machine, so most of what i wanted to try i made sure it's working just as it does on Windows, my only concerns are just the drawing programs that i can run with PlayOnLinux or Bottles, and my Huion Tablet that is a .deb install file, but I'm sure i can get that worked out on the Live disk itself since i can't emulate my tablet being connected through the VM, but i digress. So thank you so much with your input and taking your time to ease me into it, I'll experiment with Mint's Live disk real quick and if it all works out, I'll stay on LinuxMint for the time being but if something pops up (heheh) I'll switch to Pop_OS! since i heard that's the more "gaming" inclined distro

  1039. Ahahahah you are so funny! Use "DuckDuckGo" to "Google"..... Very good. So do you mean the word "Google" is a approved academic verb found in the dictionary? But Google could come at you for using their verb to be used in a "DuckDuckGo" search engine? Just joking! Very funny.

  1062. I remember a program called Browsh that allows you to connect to a server running CEF and render the HTML contents it is rendering INTO THE TERMINAL. You just need a server you can SSH into. If there is a kind of SSH client for the C64 trough the internet you could very well connect to a VPS and render everything remotely, and get the MODERN web experience completely natively in the Comodore 64 with WebGL and all without any tricks. So now that i have this idea in mind i really want to try it! Is there any decent SSH clients for a C64?

  1065. OMG this brought me back to my teenage years! So many hundreds of hours wasted on waiting for the bits to go from one place to another! I was an avid BBS user. I even ran my own for a while once my parents got a second line installed so they can use the phone while I used my computer! I turned on my BBS at night to accept logins while I slept. I would wake up and see who logged in and see the Easter eggs they would leave for me! My dad's friend is who got me into BBSs. He ran a multiple terminal BBS that mainly was an illegal game exchange. I had hundreds of floppies with all the latest C64 games on it! I had thousands of games! I joined the pirate world myself by making my favorite games available on my BBS. I guess I'm a little lucky "the man" didn't find me a big enough fish to bust! I had a cool family! My dad encouraged my somewhat dodgy behavior. And now I work for Microsoft! So I guess it was all good for me in the end!

  1087. So I worked in a hospital&university research lab for +13 years doing among other things medical device design. No there isn't a reason to except it. Sure this stuff often doesn't have any security but that doesn't mean the repair manual shouldn't be public as newer products created after the law would I assume be created with security baked in.

  1089. Well, I am running pop OS on my AMD Ryzen 5700G. Installation wasn't without the hitches. The biggest one was simply booting in native resoultion of my monitor. I need my OS to be stable. I do not need updates all the time. Actually I hate that. And when there is an update, I like to be able to feel the difference (either addition feature and/or performance) 9:25 Woah, if you going to be all logical and accurate, then we can not have a disscusion here ! ;-) I pronounce it like you also, maybe "G" is less stronger but audible for sure when I say it.

  1093. This looks to me like a software and hardware vendor behaving in a calm and responsible way. I'm gradually becoming a big fan of Pop OS. It's well constructed, and like you, I'm really liking the tiling features. Most of my work revolves around CNA, DevSecOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes and Service Mesh, so a solid Linux platform is a must. It's great to see and hear someone with your knowledge and experience articulating an equally calm and sensible approach to their desktop. Thanks for the great content.

  1109. I'm a generation older than you Veronica, in the mid 1980's I owned a Commodore Vic20 with a Dataset tape drive. And for Christmas in 1986 I got a C64 V2, also with a Dataset but I loved it. My best friend 4 houses away had the old V1 C64 with the 1841 disk drive. In 1987 another friends Dad had a Commodore Amiga 500 and had amassed over 5000 games for his Amiga with an alphabetical list printed on computer paper, this is Australia 1987 and he was acquiring his games from the USA via his 8 baud modem that you physically put the phone handset into the modem and the phone listened to the data transfer and over 8 hours he could somehow download up to 10 games per night. Wonderful old school surfing on a system that makes it look so 8 bit, well done.

I had commodore users who would get on because I also had commodore shareware available on my BBS and they would download it, Most others who got on to my BBS were able to connect at up to 56K, I had spent some $$$ and bought into US Robotics modems, I carried the full Fido backbone, and it was fun while it lasted. I still have the computer and all the SCSI drives, and other hardware, just in case of the internet doomsday. 😉

  1170. My Gawd !!! this video just popped up in my feeds and I'm grateful. My first foray into 'puters was getting "Pong" when it released in 1972. Once I got hooked on this new technology, My parents asked my teachers in school what we could get for home. C64 !!!! When I enrolled in computer class in school , I was able to do more stuff than my teachers so they got me to teach the class. Fast forward, I have been a computer specialist for 30+ years and I owe this to the C64 and how it opened my mind to a whole new world. Thanks V loved this video !! Keep up the good work !

  1181. I also hate the giant tablet phones and how everyone is always staring at them like zombies. I have yet to cave and switch from feature phone to smartphone, but society makes it tough. I'm currently researching options for a smaller "in-between" flip phone with touchscreen for easier texting and additional app or two such as navigation/maps (eg Sunbeam F1) vs full-fledged android or android GO (eg Jelly Star, Cat S22 flip). As for the app store question, my brother uses Calyx OS and F-droid for apps, only using Aurora if he needs something that's only available in the Google play store.

  1183.  @AndersHass  According to OSHWA, it's open source hardware: > Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. The hardware’s source, the design from which it is made, is available in the preferred format for making modifications to it. ... and ... > As described in the Open Source Hardware definition and statement principles, the essence of open-source hardware (OSHW) is sharing the design files for a piece of hardware for others to modify or make hardware from (including for commercial purposes). > > Original Design Files > These are the original source files that you would use to make modifications to the hardware’s design. The act of sharing these files is the core practice of Open Source Hardware. ... which is further defined to include: > Circuit board CAD files such as capture files (schematics) and printed-circuit board (layout) design files. > Example formats: Native files saved by Eagle, Altium, KiCad, gEDA, etc. OSCR PCBs are made with KiCad. Additionally, the OSHW logo is literally in the README, and the OSHW gear logo is on the back of the main PCB as part of the OSCR logo. The OSCR is open source hardware. You are talking about open source components and architectures. While nice, their use is not required for open-source hardware. Again, by your definition many things considered open source hardware by basically literally everyone except you would not be considered as such. Your definition is not the definition used by the industry -- the Arduino line of products is literally talked about as being open-source hardware, as are most of Adafruit's products.

  1189. Just found your channel and...LOVE IT! I am a 30+ year user (and Administrator) of Windows PCs and servers...but have been getting a bit unhappy with the moves to online/subscription over the last few years. For that reason: --My non-primary machines run Ubuntu 22.10 (GNOME), but I do use Mint 21 Cinnamon in a VM on my primary machine. --I also tinker with ZorinOS - another excellent choice for beginners. Both Mint and Zorin look FANTASTIC and support Flatpak out of the box...which I like! :)

  1193. Great video! The RF output plugged into a 75 ohm adapter to use your TV as your monitor. Pro tip: you could plug them into your VHS first to record your sessions especially if you were doing animation. My dad had the Commodore 64 Plus 4 which had 4 function keys but they were programmable so you could make each function key do whatever you wanted. The floppy drive required the floppy disc to be formatted for the right number of cylinders and sectors because you had single and double density disks. I started on a TRaSh-80 Color Computer with 16KB of RAM.

I'd have to say I have the same, I wouldn't say distrust as such but pause, around distro makers that don't kind of make their development process very open, but I'd always put that down to coming to Linux via debian who bend over backwards to make everything open, from choosing a project leader to statements of values to definitions of free software and policies for everything, and all development decisions being in a tracking tool somewhere on the web

  1198. A suggestion I've seen from the gameboy modding scene, put the protective sticker back on the screen after it's installed(but not finished working on it). Protects it a bit from any possible accidents while you're working on anything else.

  1199. Hi Veronica, I am a new subscriber and just happen to be a novice Linux user learning Vim and also a gamer. This has to be one of the best ways to learn Vim's control scheme. There are so many games like this to rebind the keys in and I would have never thought of doing this myself.

  1200. Zoom screen sharing does not work properly with Wayland. Disclaimer: I am running Debian with Xfce. But the screensharing bug with Wayland under Zoom is a known issue and I did not actually see any screen sharing in this video. For what its worth as a student I am a heavy user of zoom for courses, tutoring and currently with a NASA academy with up to 360 users! So pretty experienced with Zoom under Linux. Still love the video though :) PS: Love the shirt! She came from planet Claire! 🤍

  1201.  @VeronicaExplains  For me zoom was working great and then at some point during a python tutoring session I could not for the life of me share my screen which worked previously. Ah programming with pencil and paper and putting it in front of the camera, that was fun, lol. After some digging around I found that at some recent point a hasty sudo apt upgrade command updated my desktop to Wayland. I tried just simply switching back to X but that failed to fix it so I took the rather drastic risk of removing every gnome package on my system and gave it a hail mary and >sudo shutdown -r now. It came up, everything seemed to work, verified I was back on X and fired up Zoom and viola, screen sharing was back. Now I could confuse my Windows using tutor by sharing my Vim screen with relative line numbering, that always throws them off track! Anyways, I digress...my biggest takeaways are 1) I like your videos 2) I think I might like to try Fedora on a spare machine. I wonder if a Fedora Xfce spin might just work on a Raspberry Pi? Hmmm sounds like a fun project to me :) Cheers! Looking forward to the next video. (Sorry for the long winded reply)

  1206. Hi Veronica. I have just watched 5 of your videos and I am loving it. I am using a Dell Venue11pro I picked up for $10 Canadian. It is primarily a tablet and I have been happy using Risi OS which is a custom version of Fedora36 with Gnome. My Idea for a video is “Best Distro in Touch Screen/Tablet”

  1214. Arch: the ultimate newbie-friendly, just werks distro. I've installed Arch (and Gentoo) manually, but I never again :D I used archinstall on my current desktop and laptop, and I consistently recommend Arch+GNOME for any new users, especially considering all of the headaches I have using Ubuntu at work. I want to like KDE, but it's always irreparably Krashed on me any time I try to change themes in the GUI. Oh and I see they added the packagekit integration for the GNOME install, which is nice.

  1216. Got a shiny new mini-ITX case for Christmas... So I deconstructed my HTPC, moved my better hardware to the mini-ITX board in the new case... Combined my old desktop hardware with my old server hardware to make a PHAT desktop with a ZFS pool i'll use for backups... Was going to install my typical Manjaro on the desktop, since it's worked great for me for years. But after watching this I'm going to give Debian a try for the desktop. I've used Debian for my servers for years, but this will be my first desktop! Going to see if I can run it for a full year in 2024 and see how it goes :)

  1219.  @VeronicaExplains  Thanks for your prompt reply, appreciate it. I do videos as well and was very curious about your process, as in my case, OBS studio needs to be on and it's visible to the audience. I admit, I am too lazy to edit out the panel :). But getting the video captured so early on in your case, piqued my curiosity. Learned something new. Subbed.

  1232. I tested Siduction ~time of this video. I found it less stable than Arch. Ya, you wanna get work done and live life? Bookworm and LMDE 6 are actually super nice now. I've done a complete turnaround in light of buyouts and IPOs, stability questions. The bottom line is Debian has good funding. That means people care about the mission. All I can do is upsale its ease of use.

  1233. <sarcasm>Veronica doesn't use GNU Emacs, she is so cancelled! If you can't even use a simple and well-designed programming language like LISP, are you even a programmer? </sarcasm> I personally like nano better, is there a really nice vim tutorial?

  1234.  @VeronicaExplains  well, that would be lovely.

  1235. I have a Google Pixelbook that's still supported but has been a disappointment for running embedded Linux. The Debian 12 upgrade broke me from even trying anymore. I'd love at some point to switch it to a standalone Linux distro so I could carry this lightweight laptop around town with the apps I want installed and an OS I can configure to my liking. This looks like it's just the ticket.

  1236. during the pandemic, I went on an eBay spree and re-created my childhood C64 setup, right down to the Compute's Gazette magazines and a 1980's Mountain Dew can. I've got: the C-64, 1541 Floppy Drive, the Cassette Drive, 1902A monitor, the 1660 300 Baud modem, and an Okimate 10 color printer (still prints too - I recently used Print Shop to print a birthday banner). No mods or emulators, all original and in their original boxes, and everything works as original. Can still load up and play The Bard's Tale from floppies!

  1241. Yes, it would be nice to have a video to open the videos on mpv, although I think I tried something like this in the past and it seemed very slow.... and without the feed to explore, I wouldn't have landed in your channel ;)

  1242. Hi Veronica! I definitely agree with all your arguments. You can add another argument: it's easier to assist on the phone or with text chat with command line tools. With a graphical app, you have to remember the interface, where to click, etc.

  1243. With the amount of new and amazing games that constantly get released for the C64 it's actually been my most played retro system since 2017 or so since Sam's Jouney came out. I can't get enough of how amazing modern C64 games are :)

Well, I live in Peru and can't find any good peruvian mastodon servers (if you know any, just write them below my comment), so I'm strongly concidering getting hold on some students and host our own here. I would never host one alone, needs more people so that the admin can go on vacation without everything burning and at the same time, very small instances aren't very money or ressource efficient.

  1258. We bought a 300 BAUD modem for ours and discovered that the 1200 BAUD modem had the exact same enclosure, but was something to the tune of $900 back in the '80s. We scrounged up to buy the 1200, took the guts from the 1200, put them in the 300 enclosure, put the 300 guts in the 1200 enclosure, and returned the "1200" to the store the next day for a full refund.

  1265. Great video, very informative and interesting as always. But, I wanted to let you know YouTube didn't send me notifications about your 2 previous videos or bring them up in my feed till I searched for them. I know there isn't really any way to fix this beyond the magic engagement buttons, but hopefully this long comment will let YouTube know I want to watch your videos and stop hiding them from me!

  1268. You've got a working c-64? How cool! My friend had one and I remember staying up all night after he procured a 32 baud modem and we downloaded a few games, which mostly resembled Atari's Combat! I loved Impossible Mission! Stay awhile...Stay forever! I had an Atari 800, so please don't hate on me! lol

  1284. Another Fun video with Veronica Explains! 🤍 You mentioned doing a video on disk encryption, I would be interested in that subject. In other news, I am building a new 12th gen Intel PC and have chosen to go Fedora and a full on KDE experience. I have been running Debian and XFCE for some time and am a minimalist. But that's almost always because I am running older hardware. So I think its time to go all in with the bells and whistles, might even go for broke with a 4k display! Yay Linux! 😉
    1
  1285. Been watching your videos for awhile, i.e. when I see an upload i may or may not click... but I always enjoyed your content! But I just came across this video and I think it's so exciting you are at a point in your career where you can make youtube your full time gig! I wish you the absolute best. I feel like every tech-youtuber/tech-channel kind of has their own little sweet spot. LGR with vintage dos and windows stuff, craft computing, level1 techs, LTT, the list goes on... I think you certainly have what it takes have your own little corner of tech-youtube all to yourself! I think when it comes to Linux - related content you have the charisma and outgoing attitude that can make-or-break a Linux video lol. I'm sure you could make a video on administering SELinux policies fun and interesting, and there aren't many people who can do that! :D I have rung the bell!

  1286.  @VeronicaExplains  This may have made my year. I have been looking for a way to get my 64 to run the BBS I started back in 1984 when I was 12 years old. Ordering now... fingers crossed.

  1294.  @VeronicaExplains  Thanks for getting back to me quickly. I had already decided that for what I want a Chromebook just wasn't going to cut it. I'm looking at a used ThinkPad X1 Carbon now. Oh and you were part of my research. ;-) I expect to have enough data to pull the trigger later today on something. Again, thank you.

  1296.  @VeronicaExplains  Thanks for your definition/clarification. I was under the assumption that rolling release was just that you don't require a fresh install when a new version came out. I'm still learning linux since coming onboard a little over a year ago. Enjoy your vids as they are very informative and has helped me a lot as I grow in my linux experience.

  1317. Do you know that the Atari 2600 had a modem at one point that you could dial in and download one game at a time to the cartridge and play it. They had a ton of retail games to choose from and I believe it was 20 or $25 a month. It was such a blast. It was essentially Xbox live back in the early to mid 80s. That was before I moved up to the Commodore 64 and had so much fun with that. I even had a light pan for it, if you can remember them. But I learned how to program the hell out of that thing and still remember some of the coding for it. I have a brand new one, meaning NOS, sitting in my closet. But I won’t there open it. It’s worth too much money. but I may end up getting a used one or one of the new models with more memory and better capabilities. Love the channel, keep up the great work.

  1324. i remember getting the commadore magazines. from them i would download some of the games, printing programs, and other misc. program in the machine language to help save space in the limited memory that they had. all those 00's to FF's sure got confusing especially when you spent 2 hours at a time typing them in, 😴. but it gave me a great satisfaction after i did and finally ran the program i did type in, 🤩🥳

  1329. Ah Commodore 64 my first computer , started with a tape drive , later got a 1541 disk drive , used my tv as a monitor , later got a commodore 128. Tape drive was so slow i could come home from school and start loading a game called"blue max " on tape , i could go outside and play with my friends and maybe get it loaded in a few hours , just in time for bed , 1541 drive was a Game changer .

  1330. There are plenty of POS systems that still run DOS and print to dot matrix printers. Also, I use my dot matrix printer for printing out long code files as one continuous page. I've used it for debugging complex stored procedures and PHP.

  1331. I cannot think of anyone else other than Veronica to make an exceptional video to such "minor" yet crucial thing when setting up Linux and you haven't learnt about that yet. It would save hours for new users from watching 54 different videos of "how to install linux" and some forums posts to conclude what each thing is for and if it's needed or not.

  1332. That's a bossy video description

  1333. There are still undumped cartridges out there. Some we know exist, but there are ones we don't even know about. Even for the ones that have been dumped many are not verified on no-intro even now. This project uncovered a few ROMs of which the common downloaded version did not match the cartridges. So we thought they were preserved but they were in fact not.

  1337. In Linux it's easy just switch the distro to the one you need and you'll be fine. I'm staying on Pop!OS as my daily driver - for similiar reasons than you and I'm done with reinstalling my machine frequently - I need it for work. (okok mostly steam and an internet browser) They keep graphic drivers and the browsers up to date - so I don't care much for the rest. I wouldn't even need Pipewire. What I like as well is the rust programming language I've switched to pop os before I learned that they're rewriting their desktop to rust. Alone for that I would wait - will give me some inspiration on how Iced UI looks like - may need to learn that. I wont go back to an arch based distro again - as said there are many needs and just switch to the one that you like. There is no need for distro wars. They're all fine.

  1344. A few notes: - the faceplate’s black border, surrounding the LCD on the underside - this is a foam barrier meant to prevent dust/debris from getting stuck in between the LCD and faceplate. I personally remove this on my own iPod as I prefer the look. You got the foam off, but left a bunch of adhesive residue (the white stuff). This can be easily scraped off with a spudger & will complete the ‘transparent’ look. - The clickwheel sensitivity (my general understanding) will get better over time. The ‘break in’ process goes something like this: as the oil from your skin slowly builds up on the surface, for whatever reason, improves the click wheel accuracy and hones in sensitivity. This situation can reset if the iPod is wiped down, though it depends on the route taken for cleaning/disinfecting. I do want to say, thank you so much for the support and the shout out! We’re a small business with limited resources & a $0 advertising budget. All of our publicity comes from genuine customers with genuine experiences, sort of rambling now but - I’m sure you understand. Just wanted to let you know this video will make a huge positive impact here in Kansas Also feel free to reach out if you ever need more iPod stuff - Austin

  1345. It was exciting watching this throwback. I'm now as excited as you are because I remember these days. Thank you for the video journey.

  1346.  @VeronicaExplains  hmm, probably some filter, since I said to buy music from Bandcamp so musicians can eat, most likely raised a red flag. 😕Or I wasn't polite enough and should have added 'please', lol. Or YouTube really hates Bandcamp. Let's see how long this comment lasts! 😀

  1348. Debian is cool and all but Rocky Horror, ... O.M.G. !! By the light of the night, it'll all be alright, I'll get you a Debian admin! ;-)

  1349. I think you're on to something: Rufus really should have a "Rufus: Basic" mode or something. I like Rufus a lot, but I wouldn't recommend it to most people. Baleena is my go-to recommendation currently. And, yeah, Ventoy is a cool tool too, but I would NEVER recommend it for beginners. Great video! 🙂

  1351. Amen to this one. Holy cow when people pick on me because I prefer Vim, I just do not understand it. I prefer I3, Vim, an ergodox ez with no labels on the keys, and vs code. And I hate Android tablets. But I could care less if another person prefers something else. I have Macs here at home, I do not really like them, but my wife likes them. So I have them.

  1352. Just came across your videos, they’re great. I would love to see you explain how to use and manage ssh keys!

  1354. ive got one of these too! mines got the sd card storage mod as well as the high capacity battery. had trouble with rhythymbox but i have an 06 mac pro that syncs it fine. gonna reshell it too, and even got rockbox on it. the ipod is just an amazing device, and its such a shame apple seems to want to leave it behind.

  1355. Would you be interested in doing a more in depth BBS / telnet tutorial? I tried a BBS from konsole, which got me connected, if not in color without settings I don't know yet. But I got tripped up by things that are probably subconscious for experienced BBS users. Like I kept hitting enter to send my selection, but the first key press makes the voice without hitting enter, so my enter press gets buffered and skips the next menu by choosing the default. I still do it out of habit, but at least I know what's happening now 😅

  1358. I started using Linux about 10 years ago, I was tired of Windows and the consistent errors/ BSOD issues and finally migrated to Linux full time in 2015 after leaving college ( it required my using Windows.) I do have dual boot with Win 11 on a smaller drive, no idea why never use it unless it is for updates. I really like the way you presented Linux mint it will no doubt draw more people to trying Linux Mint.

  1372. Your intro melody wakes me up. It makes me turn down my volume and pay attention. Not very relaxing, but like a jolt from 6 cups of coffee. That's why I subbed. You give off the aesthetic of a breaking news story. Quality.

  1375. All your videos are super great, but this one beats them all! :) I bought an iPod classic in 2008, it still works and I agree with you about all the reasons why it still makes sense to use one nowadays! I use Amarok on Linux for iPod because it lets you synchronize statistics between your local music library and the iPod music library, which doesn't have to be exactly the same, while Rythmbox acts like iTunes: you physically synchronize the whole library or nothing, is that correct? Another good reason why this video is great is... ABBA! ;)

  1376. I love this. Such a lovely nostalgia trip.

  1383. In one of your collab videos, you talked about how there used to be good manuals. What do you think should go in a Linux manual aimed at a general audience (ie, from Gen z to retirees)? [I may be working on one myself, amd would love to hear yours and others thoughts]

  1387. Thank you for the educational and sometimes funny content. Like, if Linus actually made tech tips it would be content such as this.

  1394. My inner and outer nerd very much enjoys your t-shirt!

  1395. There used to manuals for cars, but since everything is integrated electronics - different story. I remember the day when I got a Service Manual for my Atari 1040STE. 😃 The carve outs s are probably lobbied and don’t make any sense ATT ALL. Why should you not be able to repair something and rather become landfill? What would the lobbyists says, if we took broken device, especially cars and farming equipment 😅, and dump it in their front yard? 😆

  1398. Wow do I have an idea for you… 11 years ago I volunteered to help teach the first “hour of code” for Computer Science Education Week at my local elementary school. That got me into volunteering at the high school to help a math teacher teach two computer science courses. I have been doing it for 10 years now and I love it! The high school students I work with are intelligent, motivated, and not at all like what I expected. I bet you’d find it really fulfilling.

  1399. Thanks!

  1400. I swear, so often, when I first started my linux journey, I would run across a topic that was part of some community debate. Like Sudo vs Su, and I would not know it was an update, and I would just hear someones aggressive opinion about sudo, and how bad it is. So while using ubuntu, I would feel like a inferior user. But now in the last years, I've heard more of the debate, and now I feel like the whole "debates" that occur in linux can be an issue for new users. It's hard to know who to listen to. SO far, your channel has been often helpful, and thank you for that :)

  1401. I had the C64, C128, and the Amiga, which was awesome.

I reverted to be sure I heard correctly 😂 Remember, COBOL is waiting behind the next corner to drag your back into its world 😉 And yes, I know what I’m talking about 😊 Looking forward to the things you will share in the future. 😊

  1419. Hi Veronica, I immediately subscribed to your channel, I like how you explain and how you pose, you're smart! I'm currently using LMDE 6 Faye, I don't even want to see a shadow of Ubuntu anymore, Ubuntu for me is a distro that died in April 2010, with the Lucid Lynx version. Still based on Debian, I would like to recommend Q4OS with the Trinity desktop, it is a fantastic distro, it is Debian without the quirks of Debian. You can even configure the desktop and make it very similar to Windows 95 or Windows XP, luckily only aesthetically. A big greeting from the north of Italy! 😉👋

  1427. Thank you Veronica! You just sold me, I've been on the fence, can't decide if I want a linux phone vs. a hardened android, but think I'll grab a pixel 8 and put grapheneos on it. As for the drama, I'm an engineer, and almost all engineers have no couth or tact, so I couldn't care less if they get into a pissing match with each other, it's not only normal, it's expected. As you said, as long as the phone works fine, we're good! Sub'd, cheers!!!!

Now I'm gonna have to ask you to put your hands behind your back, opinions are illegal, so sayeth the penguin. (Also that shirt! AHH The blasphemy!

I got really lucky today and won a set on eBay. I did end up doing a mod to use an old 4/3 flat panel with mine A500. I have an Amiga monitor but going to use it with my Amiga 2000 with Video Toaster once I get it all finished.

LTE works, and there's some work getting multi-touch and pen support. It's not great, but it's nice to see a tablet-ish device that isn't locked down like Fort Knox. Battery life still sucks (at least in comparison to the iPad), and Linux is still very clearly a 2nd-class citizen on the hardware. It's definitely worth a look, though!

  1506. Thank you Veronica for making such awesome nerdy content. I was just using GNU Screen and was seeing a lack of good explanations of what a tty is etc. So I thought I would just suggest it. No matter what, keep making great content and thank you!

  1507. Massive cringe, for the way a previous owner hacked out the plastic for their gotek. But this looks absolutely beautiful now with the new case! And remember, Commodore is awesome, and so are you! Also, Linux user here, somehow. Coincidence? Correlation? I can't figure it out

  1510. Ok, so I’ve secured a C64 that includes the 1541 floppy drive, 1541-1 drive, keyboard, VGA cords, ethernet line, several boxes of floppy disks (5” and 3.5”), and a bunch of blank disks. So here’s my question to you Veronica… Think you’d be so kind as to make a video about “great ways to use retro machines and consoles on modern displays”? That would be great. 😊
    1
  1511.  @VeronicaExplains  Just checked out the Retrotink. Looks pretty cool but it’ll make me buy other retro machines. Arm = twisted.

  1513. Why not use the 3d printed spacers or print different ones? they really arent under stress, not sure why the nylon ones deformed. Funnily enough I have a TF sitting here to install into mine. Have a gotek also, but Its external so I still have the floppy - I also have a RGB2HDMI which is brilliant and recommend. Got my Amiga with a memory expansion with a coin cel that still works - im tempted not to replace it!

  1514.  @VeronicaExplains  ooh, I'd like to get ahold of a 2gs juat to have the final form of the 2 series. But for now I'm on to reviving the Atari 2600 :) I need to dig in a couple boxes but I may have a dual keypad that plugs into both paddle ports and a BASIC programming cartridge that cane with them. Should be fun.

  1516. Another great video! If I may ask, what do you use to edit these? Kdenlive, Olive, DaVinci Resolve, ...? Your title cards and transitions are really professional and consistent, and I wonder what your workflow is for accomplishing that. I'd love to see a video on how you make videos! P.S. I'm from the Twin Cities and smiled at the Menards reference. That, and Ax-Man, are the stores I miss the most since moving to Tampa Bay last year. I don't miss the lousy Smarch weather though!

  1519. If ever you fancy a tough job, I would love to see someone explain what happens when a Linux OS boots, how do we get from hearing the PC fans boost air through the system at start up to the sign-in window and on to show a desktop ready for action, the Linux kernal is doing a lot of stuff we don't often hear about.

  1522. My daughter has the newer version of this machine however it seems to have a power supply issue with the high voltage section. It runs very hot and quits after a while. What I would like to do is find a replacement front bezel that frames the CRT. With that I have a 15 inch LCD display that would fit into the area of the crt with some minor trimming of the bezel. Yes I Know blasphemy, but wait! I plan on removing the whole chassis and crating it so as to keep the original iMac. When I get time to restore it. In the meantime outfit the case with a Mac Mini. It’s still a Mac and in a classic case and current technology. Here is a thought, wouldn’t it be nice if someone made a retro reproduction case where one could place a current wide screen monitor in the housing along with the Mac Mini as well as working speakers, microphone and camera in the case! This way all one has to do is change out the Mac Mini when it goes out of date.

  1562. Funny thing happened as I was watching your video. I had to pause and run an errand. So I hopped in my hybrid car and started driving down the road. I looked at the main screen in my car and noticed it said “using a Commodore 64…”., as my smartphone had connected automatically via Bluetooth to the car media player. I enjoyed listening to the rest of your video as I thought “hmmm, we’ve come a long way from the days when I had a commodore 64, back them I hadn’t even imagined such things as hybrid cars, smart phones, Bluetooth, media players with display screens”. Made retro seem even more retro. Thanks for the video.

  1577.  @VeronicaExplains  Point taken lol. It’s so funny that some people hate Apple so much that they watch videos about Apple products and feel compelled to leave a comment about how uninterested in Apple they are. Like, I don’t watch videos about Android, because I don’t like or care about Android, and so I can’t imagine pulling one up just to let everyone there know how much I really, really don’t care about Android.

  1598. What's terrifying is that they actually evolve now with them being able to outright mimick a normal comment from a normal looking account. Often at time manipulating comment sections with bot likes and replies. They're often attacking vidoes that talks about crypto or anything related so that it won't look weird. An example here, a video by VICE news talking about Crypto related topic: (the comment is literally filled with them) https://youtu.be/A_OPJMoLVdw Edit: editing a new video link. Sorry for the link and its not my intention to promote the linked video! I have reached out to other content creators regarding this issue since last year but sadly they're still around and even more complex.

The GPD Win 4: - Is smaller than a netbook, being explicitly handheld, and is considered pocketable (though your pockets may vary) - Has a physical keyboard behind a Sidekick-style slide-out keyboard - Runs Linux smoothly (according to The Phawx) - Can be had with an LTE module - Runs a full fat AMD Zen3+ / RDNA2 APU - Is easy to take apart and repair - Costs maybe 1.5x the iPad

Never had one of these myself, IIRC, but a bit before I moved to PCs from a C-64, friend of mine had an IBM XT and the moments we spent smashing that keyboard definitely still bring a tear to my eye. Just seeing the keyb fills me with joy. Remembering games like Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego, alllll the Sierra games, Eye of the Beholder etc. A+ memories.

  1610. Hello Veronica, I think Arch is a good choice after a lot of Distrohopping I ended up with Arch and I like it never had an issue with updates an so on is running on my HP laptop. Honestly it was a learning process but this was ok to become more familiar. Yes, please make more Arch videos. What about Thinky as name for the laptop. ps. I’ve installed Arch with Calamaris the Ezacher ISO from Eznix you can give it a try too. Take care.

  1611. Brilliant content..!! My mate had a Vic 20 and another mate had a Commodore 16 +4 with a flight simulator called ACE (Air Combat Emulator) which you could kinda play 2 players... brilliant fun..!!

  1637. As your video highlighted, power management under Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro is non-existent. I toasted my MBP that had an AMD GPU and Windows 7 because the hardware didn't communicate lid closure properly under any OS other than macOS. I put it in my backpack for several hours and Windows never shut down. The mobo was shot -- the heat melted most of the solder and traces on the board.

  1649. I have recently purchased a L210 Asus that is a 10 inch notebook. It doesn't have touchscreen but it was only $160 and had a spot for an M2 drive for storage beyond the 64G on board storage. I am running Kali on it and with github drivers the wifi even goes into monitor mode. I like it so well and it is so inexpensive I have considered buying a second one so I have it as a spare as I am sure the build quality is not great.

  1650. Thanks. I just watched this as my 1st video from you. Good job as all my instructions always have -T option. I did run into this issue with Hadoop I think that needed RSA keys vs ed25519, the newer modern one that you and I use.

  1660. Thank you for the public service announcement about the power supply. I don't have a real Commodore 64 any more, but I DO have a MiSTer, and through the magic of FPGA, it does a bang-up job of pretending to be one! PS - Do you know anyone versed in the FPGA dark arts? Verilog? VHDL? There's a MiSTer core for the first computer I ever had (the Coleco ADAM), but it doesn't have disk or tape write support yet. The original developer claims it should be easy to add, but I don't know enough about it to know where to even start.

  1666. I think my first Linux was Mandrake Linux + Blanes 2000 in 1998, it used to come with a tech magazine, I can’t remember which one. I was only 22, but I had been coding for 10 years then. I didn’t stay long using Mandrake, I soon migrated to Slackware, and I was using it for another decade.

  1667. Whoa... I just had a flashback to a period of my youth sitting in front of a 14" JVC CRT-TV hooked up to my C64 while cruising through my list of local BBS' late at night on a rotary dial telephone and acoustic-coupled 300 baud modem. Each upgrade thereafter was such a thrill - particularly when I finally made it to 56Kbps on the C64 - before switching to PC. An excellent video Veronica, thanks for your content.

  1679. I’ve recently been working on bringing a custom C64 BBS into the world. This video is a great primer for this new old world!

  1684. I remember these they were an upgrade from my TI-99/4A It was fun back then tape drives and all. Oh the sound of the Hayes modem.
    1
  1685. Cool recap of the event! It was my first time attending and I barely got to scratch the surface of what was there. I did get to attend the YouTubers' panel (thank you for your footage, I was sat right behind you in the second row!). Super cool, hopefully I'll know more and get to come back for next year's event too.
    1
  1686. I’m a Linux enthusiastic, and I’ve been coding since 1987. I must say this was one of your best videos, if not the best. 🤗
    1
  1687. I love my C64. I got a Máster degree thanks to C64.
    1
  1688. This is an incredible video, I'm so glad I found your channel!
    1
  1689. We have actually used C64s in the 1980s as the computers running our geophysical measurements. I broke one myself by switching off the things in wrong order (possibly the fault of this low quality power supply, mentioned in the video).

  1690. Ethernet TIA 568B!

  1691. It's like getting a book, that no one reads any more, just to look at the pretty pictures. Haha. 😊
    1
  1692. This is the first video I found of yours, and like Linux YOU are AWESOME! your explanations were clear and concise very helpful, also thank you for actually taking a minute to explain some of the commands, this is something that many others just blow right by. I will be watching more I am sure, thank you!
    1
  1693. Excellent video. Subscribed. They do indeed use Cherry MX Black keyswitches. I've got a WY-60 with the PC Enhanced keyboard that I'm going to be using with an original Pi.

  1694. Very Suspenseful Veronica love it
    1
  1695. I love this channel ❤️
    1
  1696. However, I do like that you tell the viewer from the beginning wether or not there were ads in the video. Being respectful of our intelligence is appreciated!😊

  1704. Newsboat is one of my favourite terminal apps. I have it on my Chromebook.
    1
  1705. Did not know about fuser at all. I was trying to umount of my drives yesterday and tumble upon this video. Using the commands shown here I was able to save myself a reboot. I had opened terminal then cd to the mount point I wanted to umount then I switched to root and forgot about it. Fuser told me it was bash was the process holding it up. Once I logged out of all my terminal sessions I saw where I was on the mount point LOL. After that I was about to umount it. Thanks for this awesome video.
    1
  1706. Let's do the time warp again!
    1
  1707. I installed Newsboat on the terminal in a Chrome OS Flex "Linux environment" (Debian Bullseye) just for giggles. Works great, but for even more terminal goodness, I configured it to use the text browser Lynx. Who needs all those pictures anyway? To avoid some inconvenience I set Lynx to allow all cookies. Also nice to use in that terminal: Vim, MIdnight Commander, and Music on Console.

  1708. Very excited for the COSMIC desktop!!! I need to start using window tiling more

  1709. That was a rly nice video, keep going, great content.
    1
  1710. Really enjoyed this video. While I had a Timex Sinclair 1000 this was my first "real" computer because I could get online. I didn't know this big community exists for peripherals. I might have to pick up the next one I see at an estate sale.
    1
  1711.  @VeronicaExplains  I got the electronics thing down I think, but I like the idea of a trip down memory lane. Used to use my C64 on a multiline BBS to play trivia every week.

  1712. Mainframe, shows Commodore 64 😂 You ma'am, have a new subscriber!

  1713. My fiance says you look like Punky Brewster

  1714. Making the output more human-readable was kinda just interesting to me, but JSON-ifying the input might be a game-changer for me
    1
  1715. Did you work with a group of people to get this going or did you figure out all this stuff by yourself. this is crazy.
    1
  1716. Like good crazy. Like my grandmother crazy.
    1
  1717. Do cool stuff with the MacBook! Great video -
    1
  1718. Lovely retro. Born 82 with a dad that didn't like the idea of video games I grew up with a Vic-20, got a C-64 at 87. And later a Amiga 500 around 1990. Keep it up :)
    1
  1719. It was actually awesome to see you use Frogfind, I love Action Retro's channel and I just discovered yours, I feel like I'm going to love being here :D
    1
  1720.  @VeronicaExplains  100% I binge his videos constantly and it has me yearning to get my hands on some older machines I've either owned before or haven't and want to check out
    1
  1721. A-ha!!! I have finally understood the diff between \; and + ....best explanation in the galaxy, thank you 😂 (tears of joy) p.s. I once encountered a Commodor 64 way way back in the eighties. I had no idea what I was doing, but managed to make some very colorful random lines 🤓

  1725. Street Fighter II with vim!

  1726. I'm pretty sure my first was Ubuntu 6.06
    1
  1727. In 1982 we had a Commador 64 and in time expanded it to 128 kbbs. When we first got it. It ran a tape drive. We improved it a little later with 5 1/2" floppy disk drive. We used dial up service though a provider called Web wizzards which connected our system to aol which almost every body used back then. The speed was very slow but it worked. Great computer for it's time. I spent many hours playing the games of the day on that little console. Even though my computer tower I have today is thousands of times faster than the Commodore I still miss the days when I was sitting in my bedroom as a teenager playing the Commodore. Back on Christmas Day 1981 we also got another television console system called intellivision which was in excellent game playing device for its time. Miss that as well.

  1728. Where can I get that rainbow mousepad?
    1
  1729. I had a Timex Sinclar 1000, good times.
    1
  1730. I bet I could stuff it in a Flatpak. Been working on doing that for a lot of software I have been using lately.

  1731. Nice, old IBM kbd. Have the very same...

  1732. That StarCraft reference was the best!!!

  1735. Tracking the ChapStick is a fun video side game, also it is totally guh-nome 😏
    1
  1736. Next? Could you cover Fedora Atomic distros (or immutable distros in general)? Your view on what they offer in terms of security and stability?
    1
  1737. back in the 80's, I loved my C-64. I ran a bbs, and wrote a terminal program called Spooky Term (i know, lol)

  1738. It's good to say "Hit" Return, because "Type Return" could be ... well ... if you've ever done IT support over the phone, YOU KNOW.

  1739. Just call the laptop Archie. Also you can kinda do this with manjaro architect.

  1740. Veronica, thank you very much for this video. I had no idea that tbis would work on an old Mac. Had it turns out I had an old iMac that I had been trying to get to work for a library that I help support in North Minneapolis, that was so old that I couldn't update/upgrade it and I couldn't find a browser that would run on it. I was about to send it to the recycling. Then your video got me thinking and I found an old 32bit Linux Mint on a dvd that I managed to get to install. It all works fine now for what they need at the Library. So, thank you very much!
    1
  1741. Loved that little song @11:01. Debian's fine with me too. Chances are I won't even notice the update to 13 unless they mess with the install procedure (which I hope they don't).
    1
  1742. Unfortunately im addicted to music algorithm based Spotify due to being huge fan of atmospherics/ambient sounds. I wish there were other sources of this genre. PS: DONT SAVE THAT OGG

  1743. i honestly had to check to make sure you weren't joking about this being your first video, I wouldnt have been surprised if you had said this was your 100th

  1750. Did you just say "Kay -two twenties???" First time viewer; ran a C64 BBS back in 85-86. Can't wait for this internet fad to blow over and get my Hayes 1200 out. I'm stickin around. Subscribed.🤘

  1751. As someone who was using those very articles almost a decade ago, and getting frustrated in the process, it warms my heart to see it's actually possible for old Chromebooks to get some new life.
    1
  1752. This is such a cool video. I got into linux about 6 months ago and wasn't aware of how much it changed over the years and frankly how fast the change is happening.
    1
  1753. Great info. Wow, back in the early 80s I used a PET in high school, then bought a C64, C128 and then an Amiga 1200 - loved 'em all and still have them somewhere. Have to dig them out and see if they still work lol. I can remember being delighted and amazed when I sent a message over arpanet in the late 80s from Virginia to California and actually received a response!
    1
  1754. Ah. Congratulations. Well you've sorted your configuration section and your environment. I suppose you have you declared your variables and opened input and output to your file types.

  1759. Hats down for the "White and Nerdy" cameo.
    1
  1760. Ubuntu was also my first long used distro, I started with 4.10 too. I remember Cannoncial shipped free copies of Ubuntu, that was crazy and also a good option for people without internet at this is time. Thanks for remembering this old time. 🙏
    1
  1761. please let me know of all modern tech that works on it!!
    1
  1762. I have never thought about the fact that i say gnomes when talking about garden creatures, and g-nome when talking about g-nu/linux packages but i also do this , thank you for making some content, here is your engagement.
    1
  1763. Gracias!
    1
  1764. Yes, yes and yes to everything retro 👍 and please do one of the PET computer. First computer i ever opened up in vain trying to get it to work.
    1
  1765. I'm glad to see you back Veronica, I missed your retro editing style.
    1
  1766. That's a bossy video. See, I can follow simple directions.
    1
  1767. When I was in the Army I owned a Apple IIc and one of my Sergeants (I'm looking at you Sergeant Garcia :) ) owned a Commodore 64. Ah.. the good ole days. LOL! Great video again. Thanks

  1768. Love your videos! Keep on rocking!!! :)

  1770. You should ask twitter for definitions more often! LOL hilarious!

  1771. Brilliant. As a beginner/returner to Linux, I'm looking forward to many more Lil' Linux lessons on the terminal, VIM, good housekeeping, and useful shortcuts.

  1772. I have the exact same guitar hanging on my wall next to my computer!

  1773. Wonderful topic. For so long I was doing "find |grep <what I'm looking for>" lol

  1774. Now I've got a much easier way to listen to J1 Hits & Asia dream radio.

  1775. This is nostalgic for me as I was a BBS operator(sysop) on the old Fidonet. Ahhh...the good old days.

  1776. At 11:15, I love the Les Miz reference. Very clever! 🙂

  1779. Hi Veronica, just followed your instructions and successfuly put Linux Lite 7.2. (My distro of choice) on a ASUS Chromebook (APEL - 204E). I had to tweak the trackpad settings and sound options but I have a fully running machine. I will probably use it more now...Thanks for all of your help!
    1
  1780. The Google algorithm kept suggesting this video to me (even though I'm not a subscriber) and I finally watched the video and because of that I'm hooked. Subscribed and wish you lots and lots luck I'll be looking out for new video in the future and will make sure to check out all the linux advice from your past videos. Thank you for adding to the great content on youtube!
    1
  1781. Awesome! Hey Veronica, can you PLEASE do more QEMU/KVM tutorials? Specifically, how to startup a Windows10 & Windows11 instance? I keep getting this installer error that’s making me want to head to Seattle, WA, enter the Microsoft building and… scream!
    1
  1782. Was really nice meeting you and chatting the one evening!
    1
  1783. Are you keeping up with the commodore?
    1
  1784. As to the point @ around 1:11, I'm really glad you made a video about find because the simpler stuff such as fd doesn't require much explanation and the deep uses of find seem really really useful!
    1
  1785. I bet you will be on top of the YouTube algorithms.
    1
  1786. I was expecting twist that you switching to ALGOL on PDP-11
    1
  1787. I actually just switched from Arch/KDE to Pop!_OS because of the look and feel, hard to beat, so pretty. Running on a couple of Thinkpads and Intel NUCs, great experience.

  1788. I love that PowerMac behind you.... I have a PowerMac 9600 among others. That is still to this day i think the coolest case ever made when you open it up.

  1789. This video is a delight. Also, your hair is amazing.

  1801. Tell me you’ve got deep geek cred w/o telling me you’ve got deep geek cred… 286 Vic20 Model M PopOS (These just come to mind listening to your blog, others may add more below.) LOVE your videos as much as the 8-Bit Guys!!
    1
  1802.  @VeronicaExplains  Thanks so much for your comprehensive response. It's very much appreciated. As for you not hearing the high pitched CRT monitor noise anymore... The bad news is it's not because you're getting any younger.
    1
  1803. Oh my you got a music library, I'm in love with your patch on the eye kind of vibe.
    1
  1804. Great way of presenting and you brought back my history with the C64. Awesome stuff!
    1
  1805. I think the Thinkpad should be christened 'Snappy'
    1
  1806. Good luck, Veronica. My experience suggests that You can leave COBOL, but it never leaves you, ID, ENVIRONMENT, DATA, & PROCEDURE!
    1
  1807. "...Commodore to Atari" OK, I'm outta here! 🙃

  1808. typing this comment on my 1994 ibm model m with buckling springs

  1809. Great video. I really like your pace. On a whim, I decided to check out one of the songs in the playlist shown on the screen: Galimatias - Strawberries. Great stuff.
    1
  1810. I’ve got a color dot matrix on the way and a high bid on another. Veronica this is your fault! (joking)
    1
  1811. I tried Clonezilla: thanks for making me feel I could. It bears its history proudly. When it had finished and was doing a power off, I was delighted to see a message that it had found no drives that needed parking. I mean, when was the last time you had to manually park the heads on a hard drive? I rather think that all HDDs had self-parking heads before you were walking, so you've probably never done it.
    1
  1812. I used a C-64 with a 1571 drive running GEOS. Classic times
    1
  1813. Omg, one of your best vids, lol I had a Epson mx-80 in the 80's, I remember printing out a 6 page banner when the paper got cocked in the tractor feed, instant chaos! LOL!!! Also had an Okidata I pulled from a scrap heap at an old car dealership, worked like a champ! There is an auto parts place that still uses dot matrix on multi copy paper, 1 for customer receipt, one for their records. I love hearing that print head screaming along, it sounds like Victory! Haha! Thanks for this awesome video ʘ‿ʘ
    1
  1814. Great trip trough the memory lane! i had an off-on relationship with linux since red hat 6.0 as a novelty but it got serious with Ubuntu 9.10 as I could free myself from dialup and winmodems only after 2007, now I'm pretty happy with Mint MATE on most of my pcs
    1
  1815. Another awesome video AS ALWAYS!!!!

  1816. ​ @VeronicaExplains De rien!

  1817. maybe you could speed up connections by adding a particle accelerator

  1818. Unrelated Footage ... Moow-ha-ha!
    1
  1819. BBSing was my first expirience with a modem when i got my first 386 in the early 90s. Still love it today. For anyone who wants to try it on a tight budget: If you retro computer of choice has a RS-232 serial port, have a look at the PiModem project.
    1
  1820.  @VeronicaExplains  No, i found the project on a webpage. None of the software was done by me. The only thing i did was put it all on a tiny little OrangePi Zero, added an RS232 level shifter and stuck it in the case of an old wired modem.
    1
  1821. Congrats and hope this channel goes EPIC for you!!! Also, your hair is sooooo pretty. Low key jealous.
    1
  1822. Never looked in to RSS feeds but you made it sound interesting and fascinating so shall install now. (Linux MX Debian) My config file appears to be called urls and is in /root/.newsboat/ As is often the case with Linux the config file has now turned up in my home directory, probably after trying to run it but is called urls. All working now.
    1
  1823. Thanks for the video. You are a very interesting storyteller. Like and subscribe.
    1
  1824. Wait... Is that the C64C you picked up at Free Geek when I was there?! Also are you keeping up with the Commodore? I mean I am. And we know it's keeping up with you!
    1
  1825. i call my slackware machine slackness .you should call it archness!
    1
  1826. Go ahead! More video, yeah! I also need a justification to waste my money in the Commodore environment (oh lord I already wasted too much money with that LOL)
    1
  1827. Cant believe you didnt mention emacs. I am deeply wounded.
    1
  1828. The comment section is just as good! 30 years using unix-like systems and I never knew Alt-. (ALT + period) inserts the last word of previous command.
    1
  1829.  @VeronicaExplains  Thank you. I was looking at the 1570 but may have to give this one a looksie!
    1
  1830. I love how the pi1541 is just hanging out in the wild 7:56
    1
  1831. Love how YT algorithm found this vid for me since I watch lots of retro stuff...C64 & Amiga. Love your presentation! Subbed for Linux & Cobol (OMG)
    1
  1832. Happy to discover your channel and looking forward to go through existing and future videos! Content looks awesome :)
    1
  1833. I don't see why this would be a problem. I want a stable system. If I wanted bleed edge I'd be using arch. And on my gaming box I do that for the most up to date kernel..but for work work? Give me stability please

  1837. Very nice video!

  1838. Hi, loved this video, I get the impression that pinebook may be as close to your no netbook tablet demand as possible. Unfortunately as far as performance goes, it is a joke compared to Ipads. It seems you just can´t have your cake and eat it too.
    1
  1839.  @VeronicaExplains  I guess many of us are expecting that!
    1
  1840. Our first computer was a VIC-20 with a tape drive. it had 5K of RAM but only 3K was accessible. You had to type BASIC code as sparsely as possible. i used a Teletype Model 33 for a printer. I made a 3K RAM expansion plug-n.
    1
  1841. Love that good ole Veronica charm! you always make everything sound interesting! ps: ewww nano, vim gang! ;)
    1
  1842. I'll see your C64 & raise you a Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer ... My first, circa 1983'ish. I wrote a BBS in it's basic language & ran it one user at a time at a smokin 300 baud 😊 Anyone remember ANSI graphics 😊
    1
  1843.  @VeronicaExplains  That is about as fun as Microsoft FoxPro running on FreeBSD under SCO emulation for a public warehouse software I helped support in the late 90s.

  1844. Hey, algorithm, here catch!

  1845. Ah yes, find. Born in the days of the dinosaur but still very useful and reliable. Like an old V8 that just wont die. bill:~$ find . -user Veronica -type f -name "very knowledgeable and entertaining.txt"

  1847. I used my friend's C64 in college (mid nineties) to type up my papers so I wouldn't have to walk across campus to the computer lab at the last minute (at night). Good times.

  1848. I well remember being on BBSs on my various Macs (Plus -> PowerMacintosh 7200/90) from approximately 1988 to 1996. ZModem protocol was the shiznits for transferring files, and I loved Z-Term because it implemented ZModem and also proper ANSI graphics, so you could actually appreciate the BBS graphical menus in their full glory.

  1850. "That's a bossy video" Actually no it wasn't! It was informative. I've been using Clonezilla for years and now this is a video I can share with a friend if they ever need to clone drives or partitions -easily! Windows, Linux, and I think even Mac? I've never had issue with it, whereas trying to use dd instead of clonezilla is a complete hassle. There's a time and place to use dd. Like, when flashing a clonezilla live image on to usb! (Just like you did)

  1858. SWEEEEEET!!! I had to get away from the browser based feed readers due to all of the 'noise' (pictures/ads/etc) because sometimes AWW what a cute little ground squirrel out here on my deck..... I should really water that plant..... ... yeah that ... I get distracted easily. Thanks VKC! Now to fire up WSL2 on my work computer and get Newsboat working

  1859. More C64 content please 🙏 When I was a child there was a rumor of a C64 hard disk that could be purchased. I believe it was only 5MB, but I'd love to know if that has been improved upon in the last 30 years

  1860. That was wonderful. Thank you. I suspect this will have a huge impact on my daily work. I am looking forward to the part two. 😀

  1861. Veronica, what was the origin or beginning of the penguin as a mascot for Linux? Is it because penguins are more out in the open? When I hear words like kernel in Linux, I’m surprised they didn’t use a military guy or delicious corn 🌽. Or if they used the penguin because for the most part, they are free and cute, I could understand that, but after so many Batman movies and cartoons, the penguin is evil. Just curious why the penguin is associated with Linux. Enjoy your videos.

  1879. 4:50 That cheesy smile, the thanks for watching, that bass note....1, 2, 3, 4....Clough42 if I'm not mistaken, the signature sign off. Or maybe pure coincidence. Great channel by the way, O, and yay Debian. Great outro music, I'd go see that band, reminds me of the members, this is the sound of the suburbs.

  1885. Hey Veronica, my First Home Computer was given to my wife by a good mate. It was a Commodore VIC 20 with a few cartridges, a tape drive and two joystick controllers. I bought a 300 baud modem then got into buying C64-S and a C128 for its c64 emulation. I got the hacker accessory to take the tape program from the memory and write it to the disc drive . This was back in the eighties, Amiga Computers followed, a 2000 then 3000 , 1200 and 600. Sadly with their demise I’m on Macs these days … miss those C64 games though …

  1895. Thanks for this - bought 'refurbished' a Lenovo Yoga C13 Ryzen 5, followed the same steps in the video, including a modest donation to Mr Chromebox, then installed Arch with KDE and everything worked including audio through the laptop speakers and (much better) Bluetooth. Great build quality and keyboard on the Lenovo. Top row of keys confusing, but will get there eventually.

  1906. To go old school-ish, it's like the different rooms on CompuServe or IRC. Or Digital Talkgroups on DMR, D-Star etc on Ham radio. I hadn't looked into it much aside from thinking of reserving a user ID or handle or whatever it would be called. This was a good primer on it.
    1
  1907. Awesome stuff, instant sub from me. I feel like the retro tech community is vastly dominated by guys (which is understandable) but I personally feel there's value in hearing an alternate take. The fact you're also a Linux nerd is a bonus too, I'm on my own Linux journey too and I look forward to watching some of your /dev/null shenanigans. For once YT recommended a good channel, perhaps the AI is finally becoming sentient?
    1
  1908. I know that I'm a totally random stranger and will likely sound odd for suggesting this, but would you consider writing a newsletter too? That way, along with the videos, you have a second source of income. I'm pretty sure people would be interested in cool things you know and learned over the years. One newsletter a week through substack or beehiiv. Just a suggestion tho. Either way, wishing you all the very best!

  1910. Fun fact. A week ago or so, I played a game called Scanner Sombre (awesome btw) which used a faulty OpenSSH feature code. Intel 10th+ generation CPUs apparently have a feature for better key generation and that faulty code caused the game to crash when attempting to use the CPU feature with it. Intel has posted an article about it "OpenSSL* SHA Crash Bug Requires Application Update." A game dev unrelated to this game has debugged the issue and made a tutorial to edit the executable to replace the OpenSSH commands by NOP and it fixed it. It was later found that just telling Windows not to use those features worked too, albeit not as fun. Perchance.

  1922. What?!! You don't have a B.C. Rich guitar? They are clearly better than all the rest. I'm surprised you can even get any sound out of a Gibson at all. It's truly shocking. All the greats play a B.C. Rich. I don't think you can even call yourself a guitar player. Maybe a scrapwood player. (Obviously, I'm kidding. This comment is to illustrate how dumb the ridicule is over Distro/Brand/Software fanaticism). Your computer is a tool. You use the tool that best fits your use. This video was a great way of saying that.
    1
  1923. One channel I liked to listen to was Echoes of Blue Mars, their Cryosleep station to be precise. Just ambient noise really. Long story short, the original channel shut down, but a fan recreated it. Regarding a linux media player, why not Strawberry Music Player? It does have a radio tab that includes SomaFM. Although I just use Winamp (through wine obviously) if I want to browse internet radio, as Winamp Community Update Project keeps it up to date. Lots of Icecast stations from all over the place. RIP Shoutcast though. Also, maybe don't save that ogg or vorbis will get ya.

  1926. I upgraded my 5th gen ipod 30g yesterday because of your video. You're right, cell phones can be intrusive and steer your attention onto other things. I found my iPod and I was just going to do the screen and battery, but transferring files was extremely slow. I studied the pros/cons of the Ziff drive and iFlash and went with the iFlash but I made sure that I used a recommended SD card, rebuild the MBR and format it to Fat32. If you're happy with your choice it's all that matters right? It's noticeably lighter now. It took me awhile to relearn how to use iTunes again and I've ripped about 40 cd's today. It took about 6 minutes to transfer 390 songs to the iPod which is awesome. Thank you for the inspiration Veronica!
    1
  1927. Merry Christmas, best wishes for the new year, and thank you for calling me awesome, Veronica, you are awesome too. :)

  1928. Great video as always! I always long for your theme "passing time" song, but this time at 19:52 it just felt even better in my heart at 10x! This was awesome!
    1
  1929. All excellent points and very true. And to appreciate the terminal just a little more, it helps to learn a bit about how the Unix system was supposed to work, at least ideally. And that is to accomplish complex tasks by means of simple programs. You had one terminal program that did one thing (and one thing well), and whose output was directed (piped) to another simple program, and so on, until you reached the goal. There is strictly no logical reason not to use a GUI instead of the terminal; it's a matter of attitude, as you pointed out: why use a power drill when a screwdriver can do the job? Only experience using the terminal will get you to this mindset. :)

  1936. I started on Debian, switched to other Distros (like most Linux users who'd like to try out other Distros), went back to Debian, and it has since been my preferred Distro (customized to a lightweight footprint). For my purpose, there is no great need to run `sid`; and Debian `stable` is really solid.

  1948. You are as phony as a 3 dollar bill on camera, and I love it! Don't change. I was a professional video editor. I would have looked over to you during the edit session and said.... "really?". :) Love the content, I grew up with all of this and have an Amiga 1000 (signed by all the developers inside the case) that I actually used to render an effect re-photographed into a national commercial series for Toyota back in 1990 something. They loved it! I also have an Apple IIe somewhere too! Do you remember DEC? I had a "big" DEC PDP8 system too. Wow the good old dayz. Anyway absolutely love your channel. I liked & subscribed of course. Best, Tod in Vegas :)

  1949. I could definitely use a video on encryption. I'm good when the distros do sensible default encryption, but I'm not sure how to change decryption speeds and make it so that it doesn't take me 20 seconds to decrypt on distros that aren't Fedora/PopOS/Ubuntu

  1956. Hi Veronica. Back in 1980 I was serving in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Storekeeper (AK2) aboard the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. I had been assigned to the Calibration Lab of the ship's Aviation Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD). I needed a computer to help me keep track of all the parts and supplies I had on order and all the supplies I received, so I used my own Commodore 64 computer, which included the Commodore monitor, floppy drive and printer. After getting approval from my shop Chief and division officer, I set it up on my desk and went to work. The lab techs were quite surprised that a storekeeper would have his own computer lol. The computer performed flawlessly. I used it to do my work aboard ship for two years. That computer helped me become more efficient at my job. The Cal Lab's computer was a TRS 80 or trash 80 as we preferred to call it. It was provided by the Navy. The AZ used it to keep the shop records organized. My Commodore 64 out performed that trash 80 by leaps and bounds! lol. I did daily updates and printed status reports, etc. Later on as a civilian I used that computer to browse the BBS's and play games. I finally gave it to another Commodore 64 enthusiast. I wish I had kept it. It was still working just fine. Later on I bought a Commodore 128 and an Amiga. I still own both of them. But sadly, no Commodore 64. Those were good times! 😊

  1958. Hey V... This was awesome. I am watching this right now on an old AM3+ PC running 8.1 It's a back up bedroom PC now, but with 8.1 support ending as of Jan 1st. 2023, I'm thinking this might be what keeps this old tank running. Thank you! BTW, as a Chicago raised kid, you are SOOOO Midwest and It's great.

  1967. We were using c64 for bbs use. A common thing those days was a busy signal. Still we got on line met friends, even went for coffee. One day someone noticed that on a particular bbs if you talked over the busy signal, multiple people could talk. This was a telco bug, but we used it to talk to one another over the busy signal. I don't remember how long that lasted but it was fun while it worked. Those days were exciting and we were on the cutting edge.

    1
  1972. Thought provoking. Lovely to see your enthusiasm. As I’m more interested in music than computers, it encouraged me to look up what alternatives were around, at this time. From 1983 Clavinova (YP40) and, if you must, DX7, were available (both made by Yamaha). If I remember right, the Clavinova had 32 note polyphony (?) And…I have a device that was made 30 years before the Commodore…(3 note polyphony 🙄) It is touch sensitive and has ‘infinite’ polyphony, and looks lovely - an old upright piano!! 🎹 😂😂 I too love hyperlinks👍

  1977.  @VeronicaExplains  Ok. I actually did a little digging after I asked the question, and I believe we had the vic20 when I was in grade school in the early 80s. They were brown and had a cassette tape drive; I also remember a game called "lemonade" that taught basic math. I'm 46 and its been so cool to be able to remember going from a dial telephone, atari, commodores, Apple II, IBM clones, etc. all the way to the super-advanced devices we have now. I love your channel-- definitely subbed.

  1978. I still have my Commodore 128D I bought in the Nuremberg PX in '88 while I was stationed in Erlangen West Germany and it still works! I played the Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" submarine warfare simulation just last year that I bought along with the computer. I have the OG Battletech game and four D&D games too. I hope my grandchildren will appreciate it years from now.

  2003. I'm used to using lsof for some of the tasks you mention here, like looking for tcp on a port to kill a hung process. Neat to see alternatives and how they might have other benefits. Thanks! Edit: Lol, I posted this before finishing the video and like 5 seconds later you mention lsof, rip. Really appreciate you!

  2004.  @VeronicaExplains  That's awesome! I learned COBAL right after BASIC. Like most languages, I used it a couple of times and forgot it. Scary how much of the .gov runs those services.

  2009. 0:58 Never interrupt with a phone call, or any other calls for that matter, then again it will never ever interrupt due to lack of service; areas with no cellular coverage such as the sticks and train tunnels.

  2010. I cut my programming teeth on a Commodore 64.

  2011. Manjaro XFCE. I got fed up with Gnome. Ok my question: Are there any old distros that are no longer around, but you miss?

  2012. So it doesn't have anything to do with cd roms );

  2013. Awesome video, there's a C64 bbs local to me called Borderline that's online with an actual modem you can dial up to. Makes me wish I still had a land line so I could dial in like I use to in the 80s and 90s. I know I could telnet but there's something special about modems that I really miss.

  2018. This for me was like a jog down memory lane. While growing up my family didn't have the Commodore 64, we had the Commodore VIC-20 and later the Commodore 128, which didn't seem to be quite as popular as the C-64 even though it had double the onboard memory (128K rather than 64K), and like you said it had an 80-column display rather than a 40-column display that came with the C-64. 80 and 40 were far better than the 20-column display found on the VIC-20!! LOL The launch of the Commodore 128 was merely a misfire, as IBM was already selling the early versions of it's line of PC's. A classmate of mine at the time had an IBM Jr., while his parents had a more expensive IBM PC.

  2019. I learned about find at Tampere University of Technology around 1997. It was a combination of find, exec, xargs and grep then. Xargs is a cool command still. A modern Gnu/Linux implements find a lot better than Solaris or some old-school UNIX. 👍 Veronica. I've used Linux since Red Hat Manhattan at least.

  2020.  @VeronicaExplains  she's wicked funny replying to her viewers and being savage at the same time 😭. I wish I was 1/8th as cool as her

  2021. lol get out of my head! I just spent the past 6 months daily driving a model M I rescued from the e-waste bin at my old work. Really love the feel of it and since i work at home the noise isnt an issue. However, I ended up switching to a Unicomp new model M due to lack of a super key. I may have to pick up a soarer's converter and do a similar remap to yours.

  2044. One of my favorite little facts I drop frequently when talk of terminals comes up is the meaning of "TTY". You will see "TTY" a lot when dealing with terminals or terminal emulation. It stands for TeleTYpewriter. That on its own is a whole other fun rabbit hole of tech history to dive down. While the Linux "command prompt" is a terminal emulator, you could say that a physical terminal is a TeleTYpewriter emulator.

  2050. Awesome video Veronica. I only have 50 subs and have not had this issue yet but I have seen it a lot on other YTubers channels. If you don't mind, I would like to make a video and link to and use your video. If that is ok. I tried to get you on the Communicator on your desk, I guess were our of range... 🤣 LLAP 🖖

  2051. Great video - it's really fun to watch and so helpful to anybody having a Chromebook! How usable are those chromebooks with linux? Does browsing, Youtube, LibreOffice work? Even some programming?

  2053. Fantastic video.Thank you for sharing it with us.You're doing an amazing job creating a very very good quality content for all the supporters.🎉🎉❤❤❤I'm actually using a Linux mint Ubuntu version but I'm actually pretty keen to switch on the debbie in addition.Just don't want the extra hassle of changing the apps and install new ones and all of that just to keep my workflow going. Yeah and the idea of multiple ssd's with 2 installed different distros, It's fantastic.❤❤❤

  2055. Guestbooks, webrings, and free-host-placed-banners, oh my! Frames were still in; embedding midi music was hot; and RealAudio was a thing. You'd spend an entire Friday night hopping between IRC and your browser trying to find just the right free host that gave you more than 2MB of space without mangling your pages...or you were storing your HTML on your ISP's free space and just hotlinking your external content (did we even call it hotlinking back then). Then after spending an entire Saturday afternoon hacking something together you'd get online to publish your page...only to get distracted by your IRC friends to spend a few hours playing Quake CTF on your 486 at a whopping 8fps. Maybe Sunday evening you'd get around to uploading the webpage...only to find out your plans of avoiding the advertising banner didn't work because they blocked hotlinking. Simultaneously being jealous and idolizing those guys and gals only 10 years older than you who somehow had a full server online...with a .com. I think the only thing I miss from that era is that magical feeling dialing out to the internet had. It was special, it had a ritual. It was similar to the feeling I had of getting in the car on a Saturday to go to Incredible Universe or RadioShack with the parents. Dreaming about having a T3 connection and what it'd be like to have "more bandwith than your ISP". Then DSL came along and that ritual was overshadowed by "holy cow it's so fast and always there"....before that slowly faded away and the internet was just a normal always-available feature. At least until they slap a fiber optic cable to your house. But pushing site changes/content to a self-hosted git repo and having my site automatically rebuilt with Jekyll and slapped in to my nginx web-root is better than what we had to do in the 90s.

  2056. My first Linux was on a cd that came with this really fat book that I believe was called the Linux Bible I got at Barnes and Noble. Seems it was called Igisadrel Eggsadrel (?) and I ran it on a 386 off the cd. It wasn't particularly user friendly :)

  2057. Your video inspired me to do likewise - went to Free Geek this weekend, picked up an iPod that said "Bad Battery" for like $20, excited to get started! Also, Free Geek is an AMAZING community resource, thank you so much for introducing me to it.
