Linux makes desktop computing fun again
Tbh. Printers work for me a lot better on Kubuntu than on windows. Idk even why. I opened Skanlite and I can Scan.
Nearly the same for printing.
On windows I need like 3 different softwares to even see if my printer is connected. And then there are so many annoying overlays.
I use a HP MFP Laser something 135W.
Before that we used some brother printer and it worked also fine from the start.
I have a dual booted windows and Linux for almost 20 years. Never has Windows done anything to any of my Linux partitions. It will overwrite the boot manager, but that is fairly easy to fix. It's hard to imagine Windows modifying partitions other than its own.
The only thing I dislike about any major linux distros; MOST DO NOT COME WITH the " Volume Auto Leveling/ Normalization(think its called Loudness optimization in windows!" settings..
gets pretty annoying during watching a movie as you constantly need to adjust the volume to hear the dialog in between other noises/sounds.
Thats what i called rose colored glasses here. Your videos are simple. Lets not beat around the bush thus your OS have nothing to do with the speed of production. Yeah u might be used to an interface here and there or a shortcut or location for some things but such basic edits can be made on Haiku or even amiga OS if required. HOWEVER if you required extremely high production time videos with hundreds of effects and modifications, windows with the likes of adobe CS or sony vegas or even mac with final cut would make such work much much simpler and faster than making same edits on linux.
Every OS is simple efficient and productive if you take time to put things the way its convenient for work. In fact if you are used to do things in kdenlive you can do exactly the same things on kdenlive Windows edition, theres absolutely nothing that should slow you down at all.
Old video I know, but it's worth noting that Brother has EXCELLENT Linux support. My current Brother printer/scanner/copier I bought around 2013. It's a wifi and ethernet capable greyscale laser printer with scanner and double-sided printing support. Drivers available directly from the manufacturer, direct, network, and even mobile (android at least; I don't buy iproducts so didn't test) all worked excellently. In fact, it actually worked better on Linux than in Windows, as I found Windows tended to replace certain mathematical symbols with Asian characters (not sure which language) whereas I had no issues ever on Linux.
I'm still a beginner in Linux but I'm kinda enjoying it. Luckily I have never learned to work with my cracked Adobe suite, so I can just learn Kdenlive and Krita/Gimp instead. Also I don't care about MS Office. The only problems for me could be Visual Studio for making web apps in .NET Framework, my desktop apps made in C#, Virtual Audio Cable, Wallpaper Engine, ShareX and well…some games of course. Otherwise I would just dive right into using the beautiful KDE workspace.
Thanks Chris. Btw, love the Star Trek screensaver.
I like linux, its gives me something to tinker with, sometimes I break something and I work on it for hours to fix it.
are the last 30 days also 😛
Now THAT'S a clever shirt, Chris. 🙂
INSTALL ZORIN OS JUST GET THE .EXE FILES IN WINE TO INSTAL AND USE AND FOR GODS SAKE FORGET WINDOWS 10 AND MAC OS!

Hi , I'm new to linux when I switched to it my laptop fans not working even when I checked the sensors its not reading the fans, but when I click the high mod for fans running on high mod only I am using MSI Laptop … can anyone plz help me out ? I've tried many solutions but non worked for me. In addition, I am using Ubuntu 20.4
Thank you so much for your videos. I have been watching a lot of your content lately and each video is enjoyable and educational. I do have a question, is there a reason you recommend a dual boot? The reason I ask is, I have vmware workstation pro on my PC, and am comfortable with the vmware software. Is there a benefit to dual booting, or would it be just as good creating a VM? Thank you again for the amazing content!
i like the t-shirt

Please keep these videos coming!!!
Asus Eessence STX on Linux! = (
Ok youtube is werid i just installed Linux mint 19.5
thanks god , this is my first day without windows
I don't understand why anyone thinks an app store like system for programs is a good idea. Sure 100% it can be helpful to have then I'm not saying don't have them. But for Linux it seems like you either use the app store or the app store equivalent command, Which I would say is unacceptable no matter how simplistic that command may be. However, the major flaw in this if my understanding is correct is that you only have access to these programs if they've already been manually been added to the package manger your using. Just because a program exists doesn't mean its automatically added to the package manager let alone all package managers that may be used. Many people could free live stream on both twitch and youtube simultaneously. It doesn't mean everyone does. So the more obscure your program is the less likely it will be in these managers and the more headaches you'll have installing it.
Not to mention apparently depending the method you use to install you can get errors or buggy installs. Why on earth would anyone consider this superior to just simply downloading and running an installer in windows. It's simple, consistent, requires zero use of a terminal, requires zero understanding of installation methods, Will be almost guaranteed to work and install correctly with little to no chance of you somehow installing it wrong, and will never run into a situation where the program isn't available via some app store or package manager.
For scanner support on Linux, windows or Mac look no further than VueScan. They support damn near every scanner ever made.
Don't forget to run 'sudo apt remove sudo' first thing, just like his shirt says.
What about MX Linux vs Linux Mint for someone new to Linux
Your ad is confusing. I couldn't figure out what you were recommending.
I like Kubuntu Linux. It looks great. It is easy to install for me and my hardware. It works well for me and my hardware. There is a lot of useful free software for it. Linux downloads a lot faster than windows 10 even with the tricks to make windows 10 download faster. The desktop is easy to use. I like the way you can install software through the terminal or package managers. Linux is free and a lot of good software for it is free.
I still use windows 10 because there are more games available on it that work better on windows. I like Microsoft office more than Linux alternatives. Important programs like Asus ep4 that allow me to set the voltage lower on my CPU making the CPU cooler less noisy, does not work on Linux and there is not a good alternative.
Newbie here… What’s the best version of Linux for GUI and Terminal experience? Ubuntu, Linux Mint, … ? I’m assuming that you could use the terminal at any time. Would like to do some gaming, business work, and learn terminal commands. 🙂
One good but not perfect alternative that I personally use both on Windows and Linux is OnlyOffice, it doesn't have all features like Word. But one really cool feature I dig, is the ability to have different tabs of pptx, docx etc without needing many windows of the application, it makes everything less messy when working.
I tried Ubuntu back in 2007 in a virtual machine and absolutely HATED it, being a Windows user. I now have Fedora Workstation and Fedora Server in VMware Fusion that I am trying out and use for my intro to Linux courses on ITProTV. I have found that I like the RHEL branch of Linux vs. Debian. Haven't tried Arch yet though. I do prefer the Cinnamon desktop environment, with KDE in second and then XFCE in third. I HATE gnome. BLAH! I do want to find that custom XFCE desktop that looks like Windows 98 at some point.
BTW, I love your LCARS graphics on the bottom monitor behind you. Did you make that yourself or did you find it online?
Nice shirt making sudo delete its self
OH NO! I can't play free to play trash on Linux? (Uninstalls win7utl right now and installs arch.)
I've tried Linux past ~12 years many many times. I always come back to windows when i have to get something done.
There is always some software that makes me turn back, because of no linux support.
…in my laptop i have ubuntu, just because it is light weight.
