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

  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. This was so timely-I was just looking for my space bar this morning.

  6. This whole internet website thing is still just a fad and will fizzle out any day now.

  7. Well done! I learned a lot. Column will definitely get added to my list of frequently used commands.

  8. 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.

  9.  @VeronicaExplains  I feel a little guilty that I did it on purpose. 😁

  10. 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 .👍

  11. 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.

  12. 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...

  13. Great videos Veronica! Funny and entertaining. Ubuntu is responsible for bringing so many people over to Linux.

  17. 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!

  18. 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!

  19. 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

  20. 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!

  21. 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:

  22. "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! :)

  23. 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!

  24. I've set up three SSH servers this year and I watch this video every time. Thanks for making a comprehensive guide!

  25. Lovely edutainment video! Thank you for creating content like this.

  26. "and VIM has broke my brain" ... YES VIM will do that. that's why i use nano ....Glad folks still like VIM :)

  27. 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.

  28. 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!

  29. Air Supply - brings back memories. Memories of terrible live concert experiences where I sacrificed my music sensibility for a girlfriend.

  31. Good god. Like wow. Didn't know ventoy community is like this. Honestly the comments are kind of creeping me out.

  32. 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.

  34. Absolutely want more info on loading things into the C64! Especially the Pi 1584

  35. I'd love to watch any honest person argue about how this could be illegal. Romerriffic episode! Always the best!

  36. Love the TLDR right after 5 seconds 😀

  37. Love your videos, having a woman talking about Linux and vintage computers is really inspiring

  38. 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.

  39. Been listening to SoMa FM since 2006. Groove Salad, Beat Blender, Lush... all good stuff.

  40. Return of the mac! Good idea getting an expert on the CRT you might only get to make mistakes with the coils once

  41. 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.

  42. 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

  43. What a beautiful machine 🥲 I think the black case looks SUPER good.

  44. An old web series would be awesome! Also the Comment Bin had me HOWLING 🤣🤣🤣

  45. Exactly what I needed from the Fedora universe. I can't bring myself to get on Gnome. Thanks for the review, Veronica.

  46. I would love to see the server version and network storing.

  47. 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?

  48. I love my old zune that I modded, its all the music I like and OWN

  49. 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 🙂

  50. I just bought two HDDs for this very purpose. Thank you Veronica
