How did I end up here
How can I determine the best linux distribution to run from a USB that accepts changes? Is it best to do a full install to the USB or run a Live USB with a persistence layer? If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great! Thanks.
graphic divers is a big problem setting the resolution
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs
How how how badly I wanna move to Linux. But Adobe.
TL;DR: Thanks Chris your videos are the best and they really are helping me get used to Linux!! Your making awesome stuff keep it up!!😄
-No longer a Win10 user😂
-PopOS user
I watched your series for Linux Mint and I installed it on an old computer and it's been out of service for long time but I got it running with Mint.
I was actually testing out how to install it before I decided to cross over from Windows to a distro for my own main laptop. I got tired of trying to update and not having enough space, the bloatware, not even having ram from the extra stuff to run a simple program, etc. It was constantly eating at me and I was incredibly frustrated.
I kept telling myself to get over it and just use Windows. I eventually restarted my laptop and started with a fresh version of Windows that is until the updates came rolling in, I had a lot of storage before I clicked the update button.
I moved on to watch a few more tutorials about different distros and still trying to convince myself to stay with Win10, or watching some really well down customization videos for Linux.
Until today!
I finally made the switch from Windows 10 to Manjaro KDE put on a tutorial and got myself all set up. Happier than ever! Best decision for my laptop was getting rid of windows! Found that KDE was great and I liked it but I found what works for me and that’s not KDE but PopOS!
Thank you for your tutorials and making these intro series!!
a very round 22,000 views. and I'm stuck on linux because windows is annoying.
where have you been my whole life!!!!
Coming from windows , KDE feels natural to me as well.
Chance your aprouch! And your be a star in YouTube! You hace the knouledge the expiriance big the aprouch Need work!
Same topics over and over…
😒
I have a difficult time editing and creating config files and things like that with the terminal. Even if I manage to edit one, I am never sure if I am doing it right or saving it properly when I exit the file.
From someone who switched to linux 2 years ago, I think it might have been one of the best decisions I've made!
It's faster, lighter, way easier to navigate and way less buggy.
Don't like a process? Kill it with one command
Want to install a program? It can be done in literally one line of code using a package manager of your choice, from trusted sources. No need to search online for Programms and worry they might be full of viruses or anything.
Oh and about viruses, its much harder to get one in linux. Most apps you install on linux come from trusted open sources. So even if a vulnerability is found, hundreds of people rush to find/patch it.
Don't like your desktop? Change it with minimal effort.
Choose exactly what to update and the updates are applied with no need for rebooting.
Need to use Windows apps? Use wine/mono ( i use wine for photoshop/ mono for some compiled Programms) or just run windows inside a VM if you have a better specs.
Not to mention all the extensive capabilities for developers. You have things like GCC and Python3 on demand, whereas it's a tedious process installing them on windows.
You have a terminal, with bash, a simple yet powerful scripting language you can use to automate a lot of your monotonous tasks.
Best of all it's completely free!
Thanks for the video, it's just what I was looking for.
Excellent video Chris! I recently bought a decent laptop and am looking forward to going back to Linux after almost 10 years of using Windows. I hope this time I can cure my severe distro-hopping problem (I used Mandriva and Sabayon mostly). I am trying to decide between OpenSUSE KDE and Debian Gnome. Everybody speaks wonders about Debian, so maybe this is the opportunity to become a "hardcore" linux user and stick with Debian.
You do enough of these, you will be THE face of Linux. Better than some condescending specialist yelling at you or berating you on the forums which will push out general users. The good thing about Linux is that you can have a general class and an advanced class to separate the cultures but it needs an on-boarding spokesman…
For me initially the problem was that i don t know the difference from download a file and install a file…exe file for windows install automaticalli,linux file often don t install automatically..
I work in the Windows IT world and am trying to decide which Linux Distro is right for me. I find somethings in Mint or Ubuntu very easy, others I find incredibly hard. Like When you get the App or Drivers that have to be compiled from an .sh file or C+ code or something similar. I recently purchased an Asus AC51 Wifi Dongle for Example and the Box said Linux support, the Asus site said Linux support so I bought one (My HP Linux Box ITX board has a Blown NIC chip and there are no PCI or PCIe slots to insert a Cheap NIC). I saw everyone's comments that this piece of hardware was a dog to load on any Kernel newer than 2 or 3. Then I found a Script written for it by Linus Torvalds himself but it needed compiling and I was stuck with all the different commands. I (like you) have a Studio and need Midi and DAW capabilities and will need to keep a 32Bit Windows 10 around for my Cakewalk Midi editing software but I would like to learn more about which Linux to use. I am hopping through them at the moment. Have Tried Linux Mint XFCE, Manjaro, Mate and Cinnamon, Pop OS (Didn't really like that) Zorin (Difficult) and am back to Ubuntu 19.02. I want the easiest to learn with the most resources and access to repositories. I use Teamviewer to Log in from my Main i7 Workstation which works well when I don't feel like moving my chair to the HP Mini Desktop Linux Box (250Gb SSD, Dual Celeron, 8Gb of RAM). I would like to move my FTP server onto Linux but the Server OS is just command line which is tedious if you are learning. Can you make a small FTP server on an Ubuntu or Mint Normal GUI OS? The FTP server is just for my Clients offsite nightly backups and runs currently on Filezilla Server on WIndows 10 Pro x64 with an HP Proliant Microserver running 8Gb RAM and Dual AMD 2.2 CPU's. Very light load (only 10 Customers Backups) ANy suggestions would be welcome. I don't want to get too far in to an OS and realised whoops I should have stuck with Mate' or Manjaro etc. Great Channel Chris btw.
I've tried lots of distros now, almost all the common ones, the one problem I keep having is when I go to remove the packages I don't want, it winds up removing everything. I just want a simple and clean os without anything I don't need on there. I like Gnome but use dash to panel when I do, and I've tried pop OS and the various versions of Manjaro
Chris:
Here's an idea. Maybe have a video where you introduce a new user through the command names that they need to know in the CLI. I'm from Windows, and I took courses in Linux at community college. But, still, I don't feel proficient in Linux. But, I'd like to become that. However, I don't know what to focus on. Yeah, I did Linux stuff like directory stuff, then some grep, showed the task manager in Linux, and I don't remember what else. Yeah, created some security accounts with different permissions. But, it never became integrated. So, that's something you might overview in a video, then cover it in more detail in other videos. Hopefully, that makes sense.
Like I know Nautilus is analogous to File Manager. Got that. And, I think I used something like GEdit — same as Notepad. Then, a calculator was easy to find. But, what else? We did some batch file programming. But, that's the bulk of my experience in Linux. And, we did something with IPTables too, but it wasn't clear … yeah, yeah, IPTables used for firewall; get that but other than that, didn't do anything useful with that.
Maybe, walk us through the commands (e.g., like DOS commands) in CLI that are the most necessary to know. That's what I think would be helpful for most newbies to know. ANd, know what programs are that will do similar things (FileManager to Nautilius, Notepad to GEdit, etc.).
To me, that's what would help. Because I really want to become more proficient in Linux.
here is my explanation about linux. Linux distros are a operating system that allows you to do install anything and also allows you to remove anthing, It is about freedom of choice, privacy and security. gnu/linux is free so in some of the undeveloped countries it can also be used in education and government departments for growth and walfare of human developments
A small detail to be added. The Gnome that is being refereed to in the video is Gnome 3, and Cinnamon is emulating Gnome 2, not windows. When the transition from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 was made, many hated it, so some took Gnome 2 and branched it off to MATE, while the Linux Mint team took Gnome 3 and made it into Cinnamon, which looked and acted similar to Gnome 2. I say made and not branched because it became a desktop environment all on its own now.
manjaro is best for switching ubuntu users,was using lubuntu 14.04 which was unusable for firefox browsing lagging hell on an netbook even 480p not playing properly on html5,making the netbook unusable for me had to clean install and partition win7 starter and lubuntu,after 2014,lubuntu is better on startup and then slow,but manjaro is slow to load but fast inside.
