This video will show you how to choose a Linux Distribution. I always say distribution doesn’t matter and it is merely a starting place.

What I use:
Production Machine: Debian
Studio PC: Arch
Laptop: Fedora

  1. literally the second distro i tired was arch and its really not very hard to install with a gui. i would say just do what you feel like and test stuff in a virtual machine.
    also now after watching this i want to try out fedora since its so stable and im not the sharpest so i know i will break arch at one point

  2. I used to use Manjaro but it became very disappointing with all the issues that the dev team kept messing up with. For people curious about Manjaro, EndeavourOS is a much better Arch distro and is just as user friendly as Manjaro is.

  3. Thanks to you, I've learned a great deal from watching your videos. When I first started following you, I was solely relying on the Windows operating system and its graphical user interface to install my applications. However, your content has inspired me to switch to Ubuntu Linux. I've come to appreciate the power and efficiency of using the terminal in Linux, as well as the improved experience with PowerShell in Windows 11. Your insightful tutorials and demonstrations have been instrumental in expanding my knowledge and helping me embrace these new tools.

  4. The Linux community for the third decade has failed to understand that the user wants to use the PC for everyday tasks, not digging through configuration files and reading giant manuals written by boneheaded geeks. For those who don't like Ubuntu, I highly recommend using Slackware for at least a week. I'll see what you all say when you have to specify all dependencies manually during package installation.

  5. 8:00 I have an nvidia 3080 and no Problems. The f/e-sync, u can get an liquorix kernel to activate these features and some more. Extra for gaming.
    so i dont have any issues on my linux mint. And i personally prefer the mate version but. its kind of how i changes the look.

    And u said, u have to customize the system a bit to fit the needs of a user, well, its same on windows. If u work daily with windows, u make it more convinient for u and install some programs to make things more easy and well, its the same in linux. Just with other programs, but u make ur windows better for u over time and same on linux, i wouldnt comment this in combination for a linux installation, its same on windows so. i think this shouldnt be any words worth.

  6. Once you use Linux, you will be tempted to distro hop. It is a natural behavior among Linux users.

    In the end, you will finally choose one pragmatically: which distro is most stable, provides a lot of repository, and works best in any hardware.

    Based on my experience, ubuntu and debian family are always the best option. Opensuse the 2nd. Followed by fedora family.

  7. FEDORA is CRAP….. I installed it twice- and had issues both times– it renumbered my drives so nothing- none of my ventoy or anything else booted until i FIXED the bootloader etc.. and I just don't LIKE it– looks too much like windows and I just DO NOT LIKE THAT TRASH..

  8. I'm like a french maid– I DON"T DO WINDOWS– but I do have 19-20 Distros on a VENTOY usb and can switch around any time (i use SSD for operating system ONLY- and my data stays on a separate 2T hard drive..(that I do NOT auto mount)..

  9. I just bought a cheap HP AMD PC to practice installing Linux and using it. My main PC has an NVidia GPU and I am not willing to mess with it yet or ever. For some reason, Win 11 uninstalls every time with my main PC, but I haven't figured that out yet.

  10. I'm just starting to look into Linux and some of the terminologies you use could be broken down better if you would show pictures of what you're talking about. "Distributions" for instance should have a picture showing what this means. Your scrolling through distributions was far too fast so it really didn't tell me a whole lot about the subject. Your videos should be geared more towards the visual person, your explanations are fine but you don't have anything supporting your flood of information.

    I don't write, nor do I program however I am pretty savy when it comes to loading and fixing PC and laptop issues…

  11. I think I'm just gonna stick with what my systems came with. Windows 10 on my laptop (works great now that I modified it, ShutUp10 and ClassicShell), Android on my smartphone, FireOS on my tablet, Linux Ubuntu with XFCE on my VPS. Don't see the point in installing new OSs on my devices. I have tried out other OSs in VirtualBox as VMs. And I do really like my WindowsXP virtual machine with this old fun set of games "Windows Entertainment Pack" (I think it came out durring Windows 95 error).

  12. I think my first Linux I tried was Ubuntu. I wasn't crazy about the UI because of the application menu. I like the KDE desktop better because it's got an application menu with categories.
