  3. Nice tutorial Derrick. Great work. Helpful tip to anyone who doesn't want to install and/or use vim for the visudo command. You can use #EDITOR=nano visudo This will run visudo in nano.

  4. Things to do after installing Fedora Silverblue: by Karl Schneider Step 1: Open Firefox and navigate to https://www.youtube.com/doriandotslash Step 2: Watch the video titled "Fedora Silverblue 30 could be the future!" Tip: Be sure to take notes. Step 3: Click "Like" (AKA: the Thumbs Up icon) Step 4: Click "Share" and share the video on any and all of your favorite social media platforms Step 5: Watch the video titled "Silverblue 2-week update and answers" -- again, take notes Step 6: Smash that "Like" icon Step 7: Repeat step 4! Step 8: Click the Patreon link on the DorianDotSlash YouTube home page (patreon.com), search DorianDotSlash, then choose a monthly payment amount, because you didn't have to research any of this and it was presented to you in a way that even I could understand. Tip: An easy way to calculate the proper amount is to think of the amount of money you spend on stupid, unneeded and/or unhealthy crap each month. Multiply that number by 1.... That number is your monthly pledge. And you will be happier and healthier! Step 9: Read through the notes you took and have at it! You are now one of the first to be computing like everyone will be in the future. You are essentially Marty McFly.

  7. Best video ever! :) I'm kidding. Very well said and very true. I kind of forgot what it is like being a new Linux user. Over time Linux just became an extension of me and part of my everyday life. I do remember in the early 2000's hearing of Linux, seeing the penguin mascot and wondering what is this all about? My first experience with Linux was Ubuntu (version ) something or other. I installed it, fooled around for about an hour, tried to figure out why my sound wouldn't work, got fed up and re-installed Windows. I remember uttering those words, "Linux sucks". A few years later (2008ish) a great friend and all in all wonderful human being showed me this OS name Linux Mint. This friend of mine was co-founder of what came to be a very successful ISP where I live. At the moment he was working with some over the air satellite software and I was floored at what he was able to do with this OS. I went home, through Mint along side Windows on the old Dell and that was the beginning of the end of my Microsoft life. My next distro was Fedora and Windows never had a home on any of my machines again. I too watched the Video, Alex D'or mentioned in the comments. I think ThioJoe misses the point completely. I said it in those comments and I'll say it here: Windows is a PRODUCT. It is built like a product. Microsoft is selling a product. Linux related software is a PROJECT. Sure Red Hat this and Canonical that, but the software is still projects and built and ran like projects. The projects are always evolving, always changing. Some die. Some thrive. Some stall and some advance. Either way, there are amazing ideas and brilliance being shared and brought to life by people because a passion for the development and countless hours of volunteered effort. The community as a whole is really quite remarkable. My advice to new users. ThioJoe talks about the pros and cons of switching to Linux. It doesn't have to be a "switch" to Linux. You can have your cake and eat it to. I say dual boot! Some will love it as I did. Others won't and that's okay. To each his own. Peace. And BTW... I know this Karl guy personally and he's not much of an artist. He's just a "Shape mover and colorer". :) Derek's the man!

  9. Well said, Sir! We've all seen this from time to time. I think there is a percentage of the Linux community who probably spend way too much time in front of a keyboard and not enough time developing people skills with actual human beings. No manners, no tact and always have to be the smartest person in the room. I believe this mentality stems from low self esteem and probably small hands syndrome. :) Not to mention, I'd be willing to bet, not a single one of these toxic people would dare act that way in real life in front of an actual person as for fear of being punched in the face. They love that they can hide behind their monitors and be horrific piles of excrement. All of that being said... I don't think the answer is to abandon the entire community. Personally, I have found friendly groups and hang and chat with positive people. (for the most part). It all goes back to the rule (the "Golden Rule" if you will) Do unto others and you would like them to do unto you. And more importantly, "Don't be a Richard". (If you know what I mean :)
    29
  10. Come to think of it... unemotionally speaking of course, there are way too many tech publications that all provide the same crap articles maybe its time for Tech Republic to go. Maybe James should drop what he's doing and go to work for Wired or ZDNet. Just an opinion.
    25
  11. Your teaching style, tone and cadence is perfect. I'm looking forward to more in this series.
    25
  12. Not bad. Made me chuckle for sure.
    22
  13. I cannot believe this level of knowledge is being offered to us average users, free of charge. Just curious.... is there a certification available for this course? I'm thinking it would look really good on my resume.
    19
  14. DorianDotSlash Great guy. His lastest video explaining Fedora Silverblue is excellent. Erik Dubois has some very good ArchLinux/ArcoLinux content.
    18
  15. Thank you, PJW! Well said. Don't let up on this.
    18
  16. My thoughts exactly. Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate what Bryan does for and has done for the community over the years. I also believe in Bryan or anyone being paid for anything they create whether it be a good or service. However, as you said, regression of availability is never a good idea. Especially, in the Linux community. This is what proprietary companies do. Remove features, force subscriptions. In my opinion, Bryan would have been better off offering something new, more features, give rewards. I know I'm just parroting what you've said. In short.... Microsoft has adopted some Linux philosophy (not a lot but still a big deal for Microsoft) and Bryan Lunduke (Mr. Linux) has adopted some Microsoft philosophy. Has anyone checked thermostat in hell lately?! I'll email Steve Jobs and see what the heck is going on down there.

  18. No offence to the Reborn Devs but this install is kind of a disaster.

  19. Man what a bunch of GNOME haters. Pfft!
    15
  20. I've always liked elementary. I would recommend it but only to a certain type of user. I'm always telling people that Linux distros can be customized to your needs and workflow. Elementary isn't really built for customization. You're just kinda stuck with what they want the desktop to be. However, that being said.... Elementary is a shining example of what a Linux distro can be. My hat is off to Daniel and the team for they're product and all they do for the community.
    13
  21. Finally, a review based in some sort of reality! :)
    13
  22. My NO MO EMO MEMO -by Karl Schneider Here's my opinion with no emotional investment: I think there should be exactly 1 million distros. I think every person who has the desire or need to build and maintain a distro should do so. Also, in my opinion with no emotional investment: I think the ideas that "fragmentation hurts the Linux desktop" or "If only everyone just developed for (x distro), think how great it could be" are total pipe dreams and absolute fallacious statements. Non-emotional opinion based reasoning: Sometimes you just don't need more cooks in the kitchen. Linux is like a big, fat, bad-ass potluck. The beauty of the Linux community is that there many many kitchens and everyone is able to sample the goods at the potluck table. Separate projects inspire separate dimensions of creativity. Do you think Ikey Doherty (and the Solus team) or Daniel Fore' (and the Elementary team) would have accomplished what they have developing for Ubuntu under the boot of Canonical. I think not. Different projects have different wants and needs, as do their users. Yet everyone can still share form the giant all you can eat buffet we call GitHub (owned by Microsoft) or the smaller yet more tasty dessert table, GitLab (not owned by Microsoft) Here's a question (unemotional, of course): Why don't we all just use Windows? Windows, after all, has massive development. Windows tries to be everything to everyone. Everyone and their brother develop their apps, drivers and products for Windows. Yet Windows, with all of that Microsoft money, all of those developers, all of that support still kinda sucks (IMN-EO). It cannot and will not be whatever you want it to be. They have to spy and collect data form their users, security is pretty much a joke compared to Linux. Now they are "embracing" Linux and doing everything they can to get the development community and IT world to come back to their product. As for Mint.. I probably wouldn't be typing this had Linux Mint not existed. I had tried Ubuntu a few years before my true journey began and HATED it. (just a little emotion) My last bits and pieces of emotionless opinion: The author of the article assumes too much and seems to come from an "at this very moment" perspective. The article also speaks in away like he's talking about products or companies. As we all know they're PROJECTS not PRODUCTS. There's a big difference. If I had emotional opinions about the topic I'd say something like: It's a stupid f-ing topic! People are f-ing morons! People need to learn to mind their f-ing business and shut the f up! And EVERONE OF YOU WHO DISAGEES WITH ME CAN KISS MY..... but I am not emotional about this topic. I am as emotionless and robotic as HAL9000 or maybe one Mr. Mark Zuckerburg. As I mentioned before... 1 million distros. Peace. (mic drop)

  23. Antifa "protesters" are all bought and paid for. Antifa=True fascisim

  24. Once again open source proves it's value. The more developer eyes on your code the better. Just think I've all the headaches and damage that could have been avoided over the years if windows had been open sourced. Granted, if Microsoft had open sourced, let's say back in the windows 3.1 days there would now be 300 different versions of windows, lincensing battles and more drama than you can shake a stick at.
    11
  25. I do love me some click-bate for sure! Do you people have any idea how many Tornado/tsunami/bad-driver videos I've watch over the past year? It would blow your mind.

  28. Your success is well deserved and a direct result of the quality of your content, your personality and your active engagement with your viewers. We appreciate what you do. As for giving live to old machines... A few months ago installed Peppermint 8 on an old Sony Vaio laptop with a 32 bit Intel core duo at 2.16 Ghz, 2 gigs of DDR 2 memory and a Nvidia Go 7400 GPU. I had pulled it apart, cleaned it, new paste, maxed out the RAM hunted down a good 32 bit distro. (which is getting harder to do these days) Personally, I think its cool to take a machine that was literally thrown away and make it usable and useful again. I, for one, would love to see a series with some old hardware. DistroTube FTW!
    10
  29. 10,000 subs! Congrats, Derrick! Very well deserved. Your content just gets better and better. I'm digging the weekly show idea. I won't miss an episode.
    10
  30. I've never tried a BSD distro. Its pretty interesting. I have to say, I appreciate the fact that you don't sugar coat anything. I like how you say exactly what you think. Good or bad. Constructive criticism is always a good thing. Not so much for my work, of course. When my work is criticized that person is just wrong. But criticizing other people work is fine. :)
    10
  31. My eyes rolled so hard, I could see my frontal cortex.
    10
  32. I know these heroes are spread thin. God bless them.
    10
  33. I ran Arch, Antergos and Revenge OS for 2 years and NEVER had an issue. I think Arch gets a bad wrap. The day a new piece of software is released the joke is "It should be available soon... unless you run Arch. You probably already have it." Usually it takes a week or two to end up in the Arch repos. I don't see Arch as being as "bleeding edge" as everyone makes it out be. I remember Fedora had that reputation for a while. I never thought they were "bleeding edge" either. And why aren't people running updates? With as many security bugs reported and patched daily, people should be running their updates. If the don't they're stupid. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying everyone should throw Arch on their mother-in-laws Dell. Just saying Arch has always been very stable for me and unlike Ubuntu I don't have to manually install my stupid printer drivers . (Epson sucks!) Also, Solus is a rolling release and it's not known for being unstable or requiring a bunch of work. And family members can still run into problems running Linux Mint. Particularly, when they Google some crap website and decide to start installing a bunch of suspect PPA's. Like I said I'm not advocating Arch on Grandma's netbook, but Arch does get a bad wrap. And most importantly: The AUR is like a magical land of everything #DEREK FOR PRESIDENT 2020!

  34. Linux Lite takes forever to boot on pretty much anything. It's still a great distro though.
    9
  35. So fallowed this tutorial step by step, which resulted in a very heated political debate with a couple mallards down at the park. Great video. Thank you. Any chance will you do a video on FreeNAS? Maybe a non web based solution?
    9
  36. Also, I've really been enjoying the channel. Keep up the great work.
    8
  37. The GNOME icon on the budgie menu is priceless.
    8
  38. Hey Matt. You guys have done an awesome job. Time for me to take ArchLabs for a spin.
    8
  39. Derrick, my friend.... You are waaayyyy to hard on yourself. Regarding Patreon: Don't do patron only videos! I personally, donate on patreon because of the content you currently create on YouTube for everyone. I, for one, and I'm willing to bet, everyone on patreon support the channel.... to do just that....support the channel. Patrons keep coming without the perks. I don't need perks. You upload tons of quality content every week and you have 13,000 subs. Far more than some other friends we know. Why? Because you have more content, more variety within the content, live stream/chat content, tutorial content, OpEd content, etc.... Either way, don't burn youself out. People just want want want. Give them an inch, they want a foot. Give them a foot, they want a mile. Pretty soon it may start to feel like a full time job, still having to work your regular job. Then it won't be worth it. BTW, love the new logo. If you need it in an SVG, let me know.
    8
  40. Lastly, if you are installing to hardware and want to use virtual box on your arch system I do these steps: # cd /boot/EFI # mkdir boot # cp arch-grub/grubx64.efi boot/bootx64.efi
    8
  41. Thanks for the list. I would also highly recommend Destination Linux. Rocco and Ryan have been doing some great interviews with devlopers and the who's who in the Linux world.
    8
  42. Great video, Dorian. Antergos has been my daily driver (on and off) for a couple years now. Cnchi was a mess for a while, but the last big overhaul really solved a lot of the issues the installer had. Cnchi also as a cool option to automatically setup /boot/efi, /boot, /(root) and /home on separate partitions, which is handy for dual booting. GNOME was my DE of choice forever because I love the workflow. As of late I've gone all in on Plasma (since 5.12 was released) on my main rig. RAM usage is way down compared to GNOME and it's very easy to create the GNOME workflow (and improve that workflow) in Plasma. For light weight distros I always gravitate toward Peppermint and Linux Lite. For REALLY light weight Antix is pretty great. Sorry for rambling. :)

  43. The best way would to help them install it over the phone. And be sure to use all of the proper terminology, so that they learn everything correctly. Nobody likes misinformed, ignorant grandparents. Also, (this is very important) when they screw up the config file, be sure to yell at them. This may be negative reinforcement but it is reinforcement non the less, so don't hold back. After the 37 hours it takes to get it up and running show them their shiny new system complete with Plasma, a file manager and a terminal. Then, simply hang up the phone an know that you will never have to worry about receiving stupid forwarded emails which were forwarded to them from their friends. Note: You more than likely will be written out of their Last Will and Testament. Si if they are well off just install Mint instead.

  44. Rocco aka BigDaddyLinux has created what I like to call a super mega ultra virtual LUG! It's always a great time with great people.

  49. Biden: Come on man, I heard you liked me.
    6
  50. Oh man. That's a lot of CPU. I guess eye candy is costly. Plasma is much less resource intensive.

  51. Great tutorial, Dorian! I've installed Arch a dozen or so times and never once thought to install all of my other software with pacstrap. Nice tip. Thank you, sir. Hope the wife, kids and yourself are doing well. Dash on!

  52. Great review, brother. I used elementary as a daily driver quite a few years back. It lasted 3 days... tops. I 100% agree with the "locked down" aspect of the distro. Mac-like is and understatement and that's totally okay for that type of user. I can think of a handful of people I would recommend it to. However.... a distro not recognizing my printer drives me insane and that would be kind of a deal breaker for me recommending it to my mother-in-law. Not having "Elementary Tweaks" and canning settings makes zero sense to me as well. Don't get me wrong. I think Daniel and the team had done some amazing work. It looks beautiful and very consistent throughout. It's just not my cup of tea.
    5
  53. From day one, I could see you just have a natural talent for creating excellent content. What you do is a HUGE contribution to the community as a whole. Keep it up, Brother!
    5
  54. Right on, brother! I'm glad you stuck with it and ran through the troubleshooting. I completely agree with your conclusion. Keep in mind it is a Beta and Dorian just started this project about a month ago. I just like the idea of Openbox on Ubuntu. Thanks for checking it out. I'm sure Dorian will appreciate the feedback.
    5
  55. I use mine for lint storage, mainly. ;)
    5
  56. Heck yeah DT! I acquired a Sony Vaio from 2006 with a 32 bit dual core centrino and Nvidia gpu. It is an absolute turd. I ran Antix on it for a bit but these days Peppermint is running pretty well on it. My Dad had it laying around with XP still installed on it. It's just cool to have the option to make a machine useful again. I also have an old Acer netbook with Antix on it but its just garbage (not Antix, the machine itself) I'm pretty sure my wife's fitbit has more processing power than that netbook. :) Great video series. Keep up the awesome work.
    5
  57. YouTube has become a s***hole. :)
    5
  58. Amen, brother! I think Lisa Su has her head on straight and over time the competition and the product will keep improving. Problem is even when AMD wins, they don't win. Intel and Nvidia still sell more and pull in more profit. I'm rooting for Team Red. The better the competition the better it is for we the consumer.
    4
  59. Matt Dobson is the man! They did a very nice job on this distro.
    4
  60. AntiX is pretty awesome. I installed it on a horribly under-powered Acer netbook and very old Sony Vaio. Both machines are old 32 bit architectures. Antix run great on both machines. In the case of the netbook it is now actually usable, which is saying a lot. I'm pretty sure a FitBit has more CPU horsepower than that machine.
    4
  61. As always, great work, Sir!
    4
  62. Nice! Manjaro is pretty awesome. I haven't used it in a what seems like forever. Maybe it's time to check out Manjaro again. Also, thank you for the shout out. You are a gentleman and a scholar. :) Let me know when the new Scion Linux is available for testing. I'd love to take it for a spin.
    4
  63. Also, for grub installation on actual hardware I use #grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch-grub The bootloader id is just an option to name in your uefi.
    4
  64. I'd say it depends on what you're doing. However, in many cases the command line is much faster. Having the ability to write a script to execute multiple commands very quickly is a "pro" as well.
    4
  65. BAM! You got served, suckers! I love this video. The Linuxverse has a million ridiculously named projects. Everyone mispronounces half of everything and people who leave comments correcting the name of a project 1) guaranteed, mispronounce the name of another project out there and 2) need to get a life. I'm talking to you Mr. "It's MAH-tay". Sometimes its okay to put the wrong em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LA-ble.
    4
  66. This is a link to the new home for Scion Linux download. Disclaimer: It was a very very slow download. Dorian explains why he had to move it from SF. https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=3WV5m_qBbq-grEQxz7XdP0wmZ9d8MTUyMTA4ODI0M0AxNTIxMDAxODQz&q=https%3A%2F%2Fosdn.net%2Fprojects%2Fscionlinux%2Fsimple%2F&v=-Gb9fG-aAoI&event=video_description

  67. You are correct, Sir. It could. But my guess would be "Bang for the Buck" will be in the Red corner.
    3
  68. Very well done. Production was top notch. I have to admit, I learned a thing or two. ...okay maybe three.
    3
  69. That was very cool. I can't believe some one took the time to do that. Amazing!
    3
  70. Scion Linux is a brand new creation from DorianDotSlash. Openbox on Ubuntu.

  71. If Plasma and Elementary OS had a baby it would be Nomad.:)

  72. Thank you Derek! Very well done. OB is pretty great. I really enjoy and appreciate your delivery and knowledge. More of these types of videos on you channel would be awesome.

  73. Awesome. Thanks DT!

Thank you everyone! (if I didn't mention someone feel free to berate me in the comments below) :)

  76. Hey Dorian. A few years ago I would sometimes have issues booting from USB and burning iso's properly to USB. I started making it a practice to reformat my USB sticks everytime prior to dd command. Gparted > select my usb > delete all existing partitions > new partition table (msdos or GPT) > new partition (entire usb to fat32). I haven't had an issue since.

  77. I think GhostBSD will be very interesting. I have very little knowledge of anything, BSD related. It should make for some great content.

  78. *BREAKING: Karl Schneider RESPONDS to Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon, responding to Co-CEO of the Daily Wire Ben Shapiro, responding to Steven Crowder, responding to Daily Wire Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing, responding to Steven Crowder... We all know the Babylon Bee is the true, behind the scenes puppet master of all conservative media, the MAGA movement, stashing classified documents all around all of Joe's properties, Jan 6, Joe Biden's brain damage, Joe's inability to not sniff little girls, Kamala's inability to speak coherently, Ashley Biden's diary, Hunter's laptop, Swalwell's spy girlfriend, world wide inflation, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, rain in California, drought in California, poopy sidewalks in California and of course Joe falling off his bike. You may hide in plain sight behind a veil of hilarious jokes and side splitting satire, but we see you and one day, mark my words... hang on a minute. Someone with a bumble bee logo on their tee-shirt is at my door

  79. I used Fedora a few years back. I remember it well. Step 1: Install Fedora Step 2: Change every single setting to default Fedora Step 3: Install a bunch a software/extensions to make it usable Ah, good times. Korora was a God send. GNOME has just gotten too heavy. I know they fixed the "memory leak" issue but it just isn't efficient use of resources. It also seems like there's still a lot of work to do with mutter and wayland. Using Plasma with a my "GNOME workflow" like setup runs much smoother. I hope the dev team uses the next couple releases to improve performance. I've heard throught the grape vine that they do have some serious issues to work out that my take a ton of time and quite a chunk of re-write. I'm not sure how true that is but I, being a GNOME user for the past 6 years, have noticed a difference.
    3
  80. Scott and DT I respectfully disagree and personally wouldn't care if there were ten thousand distros. The distros that are good are the one's matter. Not to mention it helps Derek create content. :) Some devs come up with some good ideas once in a while and start some great projects that are shared around the entire community. Reborn is not one of those. Look at elementary creating the Pantheon DE and Ikey creating the Budgie desktop for Solus (which is neither Arch or Debian based). And this was the WHOLE IDEA of FOSS any way! Having the ability to use existing code, changing it and making it as you see fit. Lastly, the reason the Linux desktop is stagnant is two fold. 1. The desktop is dying for the home user whether we like it or not and 2. Linux can't and won't attract the proprietary software developed for windows. "Talented Devs" work in enterprise to make a living. There is no real living to be made the Linux desktop. Hell, Windows can't make money on their desktop anymore either. Hence the focus on Subcription based services, enterprise and IoT. Same with Canonical.

  81. Jobs was a massive A-hole and Apple seems to be hanging in there.

  82. That was salty. I love it. And I bet your right.

  83. 100% agree

  84. I-80 runs east/west.

  85. Congrats, brother! You just do what you need to do with family and work and we'll be here. We ain't going anywhere! :)
    3
  86. I'd say Reborn might need to be "born again" :) The full GNOME and Budgie install explains the 30 minute install. Budgie usually uses Papirus Icons I think. Or some variant of Papirus. It seems like they needed to pull in some GNOME packages for Budgie and pulled in the whole gnome shell desktop. I wonder what would happen if you tried a different DE or WM. I'll stick to Antergos.
    3
  87. Hell yeah, son!
    3
  88. This is why we should all use Arch based distros. :) I know... Rolling release... unstable... yada, yada. You only live once. Right? Why spend the limited time we have on this planet with crusty, old, dry, stale software. However I should probably mention Arch teaches you to treat data back-ups like a religion.
    3
  89. Great list, DT. I hadn't come across a few these. Thank you for spreading the word.

  90. Technically you guys are both right.

  91. resistance is resistance anyway you look at it. It all has an effect.
    2
  92. Now that we can run Ubuntu on a Windows sub-system for Linux, there must be open source code in Windows. Should we ask Richard Stallman if it should be called GNU/Windows? Technically, I guess it would be GNU/Linux running on GNU/Windows.

  93. Damn! You've been a busy man! Everything is looking very good. I'll be checking it out tonight.

  95. I think would pick Ryzen over the G4560. Upgrading in the future on a B350 platform seems like it will get you more bang for the buck. Buy an R3, save up some dough, sell the R3, upgade to R5 and so on. Of course you can do the same on team blue but I think your path to upgrade will have better performance per dollar.

  98. Some distros will put their own wallpapers in a different folder like /usr/share/Backgrounds (using a capitol B instead of lower case). Or sometimes they'll use a folder named wallpapers. I don't really understand why.

  99. DistroTube I've only ran it as a live session from a USB. It was pretty buggy. I think tomorrow night I'll install it to a VM, run the updates and see how it does. I'll keep you posted. You take care as well. Your content just get better and better. Keep it up, man. It's working! 😀

  102. That RAM usage was petty high for Plasma 5.12. I'm curious what all was running in the background. I'm also having a hard time understanding what all is stuffed in there to make for a 2.3 GiB ISO. The distro seem very oriented toward office use. All of the software is pretty dated. Like an RPM version of Debian. Interesting First Look. Thanks, Derrick.

  110. A+ for sure! I was fortunate enough to play with Linux Lite 4.0 beta and it was just flawless. My favorite theme (Adapta-Nokto), the Lite tools, etc. make for a VERY polished XFCE experience. I've been running it on an old dual core Dell XPS machine and it's been an absolute pleasure to use. Great distro. I highly recommend it. Also, for those interested, Chris Lamb was chatting with the boys from Destination Linux. Chris is the project leader for Debian and he said Debian has no plans of ending 32 bit anytime soon. So Debian may be a great option for those looking for a 32 bit iso. Not to mention Debian can be, pretty much, anything you want it to be which is nice. And lastly, coffee is a very important staple in the Linux tool box. I also find Sugar Free Rockstar does a fine job as well. ;)

  111. Awesome idea. I've used a few WMs Antix Linux, but really don't know a lot about them. Can't wait to check them out.
    2
  112. I ran Deepin for quite a while on my living room pc and eventually switched to Arch with the Deepin DE. I'm not sure but I wonder if the Deepin repos are in China. Installation, updates and software installation were always very slow. I think Deepin is a corporate backed distro. They have done some serious development and it seems like they dumped some serious money into that development. Very well thought out. (Except for the new small menu)

  126. On behalf of the Linux community, Welcome! Zorin OS is a great choice. Also, if you ever fell so inclined, I'd recommend trying many different distros. You can just run them on a USB without having to install anything to hardware. Getting a feel for different desktop environments and figuring out different workflows might surprise you. If you ever have any questions feel free to give me a shout. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+KarlSchneider1 I can't promise I'll be of any use, but I'd be happy to try. :)
    2
  127. Excuse me, Sir. Put your hands on your head and step away from the broken-ass distro! Whew! 3.28 beta seems a little rough. I'm going to ask PLEASE don't form any type of opinion of GNOME from living in Fedora beta for a few days. I guarantee this will not leave a good taste in your mouth. May I suggest something that doesn't suck, like Antergos or Solus-GNOME. Then tweak it out to suck even less. Throw a little Dash to Panel extension on there, a pinch of Impatience to speed things up and of course Workspace Scroll to make flipping through workspaces a breeze. The way GOD intended GNOME to be. :) Now mind you, GNOME will leak memory like it got hit with a process torpedo, but no worries because there's always Alt+F2 - r to restart the shell. :)

  128. If Linux is "a joke", why is Microsoft using it and building they're own Linux software? Why is Linux used by Airports, governments, Android, banks, most developers, engineers, NASA and Google? Why is Linux found on all 500 of the worlds top 500 super computers, most servers on the planet, ATM's and in vehicles. I'll disagree and say Linux doesn't sound like much of a joke. Linux can be whatever you want it to be. I guess it would depend on what profession you're talking about and how locked down your profession is with proprietary software.
    2
  129. At the very least I'd highly recommend just checking out Revenge OS. I think it would be right up your alley. The creator/developer, Jody James, had to recently take a break from the project due to health reasons but the distro is still being maintained. Might be at the very least a good review if you dig it.
    2
  130. I came away with the same thoughts as you. I wanted it to be great because I've always admired what these guys have done with icons and themes. This project is very new and different. I hope they continue the development and make it great. Seem to have potential.
    2
  131. This is a direct result of creating quality, interesting, knowledgeable content. Congratulations, Sir! Well deserved! We should probably not forget to thank Mr. Scissors for his hard work, as well. :)

  136. Q4OS reminds me of what Korora is to Fedora or Gecko is to OpenSUSE. It's an awesome Debian base but not stuck to the "free only" policy. As for stock, plain ol' Debian, there is no "non-free" software (google-chrome, nvidia drivers, codecs etc...) You can install all of these things but Debian doesn't make it easy as where Q4OS makes it very easy. The packages tend to be older in Debian stable (and testing for that matter) but it is super rock solid and will run forever in production.
    2
  137. #1 Revenge OS (Arch based, default DE is openbox w/ xfce and mate elements mixed in), #2 Antergos (xfce), Korora (Fedora based, xfce version) Last but not least #3 Solus with Budgie.

  139. My votes would be for Achlabs or Peppermint. For something out of your comfort zone I'd say KDE Neon, Ubuntu Mate or Elementary. Anyway, GhostBSD sounds like a treat. Can't wait to try it out. Sounds like it would be light on resources.... because it can't find any sources to use. :) I think the only qualified technician to fix GhostBSD is an EXORCIST! Maybe, Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd but they are getting pretty long in the tooth.

(You have no idea) I should probably be required to wear a helmet at all times. However, the brand naming of RAPER was used to copy the same type of name as RIPPER. There was a conscious decision made to alter the word to make it fit. I do appreciate you pointing it out. And lets be serious here... I think we can all agree that any type of RAPE is horrible and should not be tolerated. Whether it be acted upon a person or wallet.

  160. Hi Jay. How about doing the series as if you were someone (ie. - young person, student or just a broke SOB like myself)? You could "save" a simulated amount of money every week or couple weeks and create a path to upgrade on both systems. You could sell parts you've swapped out for upgrades on craigslist or ebay and use that money to upgrade even further. It would be a true "real world" budget scenario. You could run benchmarks and explain component choices and decisions. All showing where and how to get the best bang for your buck. I think it would be very cool to show with the right planning and saving anyone can build their "Dream Machine....... (wait for it..............) Over Time! Just a thought.

  170. Phone designs have become a joke. In part I blame phone/tech reviewers/enthusiasts child YouTubers. Famous lines: "This phone just doesn't have a 'premium' feel" or "This aluminum back provides more of a 'premium' feel however it is a little slippery, is prone to dents and scratches and doesn't allow for wireless charging" and then it was: "This glass back feels very 'premium' in the hand, however is very slippery and is quite the fingerprint magnet" Now most of us walk around with a very thin, incredibly slippery $1000 slab of glass in our pocket that shatters from a 14 inch drop on to anything harder than a Simmons Beautyrest. So naturally we wrap our beloved little Pyrex computer in a rubbery plastic case, which IMHO really just doesn't have that "premium feel".

If these "journalists" did their jobs for a change, instead of this circle jerk of reporting, just echoing from other bogus stories, none of this would have happened. This plays true in this case, and the case that spawned the situation. The LAZY media should be held responsible for their incompetence and mis-reporting of facts. If they thought Sandman was an expensive settlement.....

  184. The title and the description are two different questions. Are Linus Torvalds and RMS good for Linux? Yes. Without Linus' keen eye and love for his kernel and Stallman's GPL Linux would not be free and/or open source today. It wouldn't exist today. Microsoft would have extinguished it years ago. Second part is a statement. "Linux users often wonder why Linux and free and open source software see such slow adoption from the consumer market. It might have something to do with the people that we are putting out front on this." uhhh... no. If that were the case the Data Center, Enterprise, IOT and Mobile markets would look quite different and Windows Phone would have succeeded. Desktop is what you're talking about and it is (like it or not) on its way out. Linux is winning EVERYWHERE.... except the desktop. Why? 1) Windows rules the desktop because it has come pre-installed on billions of machines for decades. It is what people know. 2) The fact that developers (software, office, games) develop for the platform with the most market share. Users will always go where the software is available. 3) Lastly, the incredibly non-existent absolute zero amount of Desktop Linux marketing. A huge huge HUGE majority of people have no clue what a Linux desktop system is or that it even exists. A anti-social computer nerd and an insane burnout philosopher are the least of the battles facing Linux on the desktop. I'm willing to bet a large percentage of even Linux users don't know what/who GNU or the GPL or RMS is. Linus is just know as the guy who flipped off Nvidia. We all should be flipping off Nvidia because they are a garbage company. No one knows who these people are, nor care. However, I have to admit it made for a great "click-baity" video and got me to climb up on my soapbox. So thanks for that.

  207. DistroTube I mainly lived in GNOME 3 for I guess forever. In my humble opinion stock GNOME gets a bad wrap and rightfully so. If you decide to take the plunge into the wonderful world of Fedora, I've got some advice. Step 1: Install GNOME tweak tool (I think it just GNOME tweaks these days) because the tweak tool is the only reason a sane person with functioning eyeballs would use GNOME in the first place. Step 2: Change the icon theme. GNOME stock icons are outdated and depressing. Add some color to your life. Maybe La Capitaine icons or HALO. Step 3: Change the theme. Adwaita is boring and way too bright. My favorites are Adapta dark and GNOME Pro Dark. Don't forget to change the gtk theme as well as the GNOME shell theme. Step 4: Download a Charlie Henson wallpaer and use it. Okay. Now we have a desktop that you can actually want to look at. Step 5: Install the GNOME extensions plugin in you favorite browser. Step 6: Go to the GNOME extensions site and install Dash to Panel (not Dash to Dock) and customize it to your liking. Docks are like homeless panels. Just bums really. Step 7: install the Panel workspace scroll extesion. Now you have the beginnings of a functional productive desktop. Enjoy! 😀
