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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. ❤ 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

  5. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. "Come on! Who threw that? Who threw that stone? Come on. -- Go to the back. -- Always one, isn't there? Now, where were we?" 😜🤣😂

  9. Great video, looking forward to the grep episode as well. Are you keeping up with the Commodore?

  10. 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. Veronica Explains why it's OK to use LCDs with vintage PCs

  12. Debian rocks! It’s my goto for servers and any machine where I care about stability and consistency.

  13. 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 :-)

  14. I LOVE the idea of ROM files and saving save files. This is NECESSARY for game archiving and gaming history.

  15. 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.

  16. 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?

  17. 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.

  18. “Generally calm and reasonable” 🤣 Made me laugh for some reason I can’t explain..

  19. 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!

  20. 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.

  21. Guh-nome, Mah-tay. Thank you for correctly pronouncing these. Makes my day.

  22. The way you held and threw that disk hurt me deep in my bones

  23. 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!

  24. 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!

  25. 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.

  26. 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!

  27. Are you keeping up with the Commodore? Love your channel ! Very informative and entertaining !

  28. 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!

  29. 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. 😁

  30. 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.

  31. 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

  32. It's Tangara time!

  33. 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.

  34. Nice work! Thanks for including me in your demo!!!

  35. 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.

  36. 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 !! 😃

  37. I ripped my Pokémon games so I could remove the battery for replacement. Love the idea that now I can do my whole library

  38. The lights look sooooo nice.

  39. 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)

  40. "I legally own these games" - ahhhh those were the days

  41. YAY! ANOTHER VIDEO!!

  42. That's a bossy video :). Been using clonezilla for over ten years. Awesome tool!!

  43. The wallpaper on your Windows 11 machine did elicit a wry smile.

  44. 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!

  45. 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

  46. I use dwm tiling manager.

  47. 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)

  48. Merry Christmas  @VeronicaExplains ! Thanks for the great content!

  49. As for other Lil' Linux Lessons - I always forget how to use 'find'.

  50. 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.
