Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Nomanspie says : The pauses at the end of each section, with that 1000 yard stare, it always gets me. I must say. This channel was one of the main catalysts to me swapping from windows to Linux. I've been distro hopping and learning about different distros for months now. Swapped windows laptops and even a 2015 Macbook pro.>> <<@HeinKhant-p5p says : Bro this terminal is use the germina ai app install ?>> <<@GarryGri says : A lot of the Linux centric channels seem to like to trash-talk ChromeOS Flex. As in many ways it is exactly what Linux is not, but that can be a good thing! If you are coming from Windows and are just looking for an operating system that will Open MS Office files in actual MS Office applications and just work, then yes ChromeOS Flex could be for you. If you want a secure operating system where you don't need to fiddle with anything or install any extra anti-hacker software, Flex could be for you. If you want an easily to use and understand operating system where you don't ever need to look at a command prompt. Then again, Flex could very well be for you. And if you want a fully centrally managed and supported system with automatic updates, just like Windows, then yes Flex also provides that. In my opinion it's a much better fit for the average person coming out of MS Windows who just wants an operation system that just works. Flex just runs the Web versions of all the basic Microsoft apps you are likely to need. The down side is that it does need an internet connection for these and the Google apps. But when don't most people have an internet connection nowadays? Now the Linux people are all going red faced because it isn't 'customisable' well it is to an extent if you really want to. And personally I think that's often the best type of customisable for 'normal' windows users, it's basically just like Windows does! Remember for a Lot of Linux users their operating system is a 'hobby' unto itself, something to be played with, customised, and tinkered with. For most people a operating system is something to be installed and forgotten about. A means to do other things! But you can also load up the Linux virtual machine and install Linux software if you want to. Most people coming from Windows may possibly not want to and that's a perfectly fine use case. But if you do need specialised software or an off-line office type applications suite then the option is there. And compared to a lot of other Linux systems it can be relatively straightforward process to load and run applications. IMO it's a better real alternative for a lot of people and yes, I have used Linux for years I'm just not evangelical about it.>> <<@samuelgrochat says : Very good video. It gives me ideas indeed.>> <<@DanielTakor-e2l says : Love that wallpaper. Was it the default? 😍>> <<@ChrisinOSMS says : Thanks again, Chris! This video is how I could rescue an old ChromeBook for my child to use at university; it has web access to the Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and offline Libre Office. Saved them from having to lug around their large gaming laptop around campus. This channel is an educational gold mine. Your methodical, straight forward presentation style and dry wit remind me of my first computer science instructor, Mr. Collins taught a roomful of 5th graders hardware components, input/output devices, and how to program in BASIC on TRS80 computers.[He also taught Photography] Keep up the good work!>> <<@ErwinPrasetyo says : Solitare master...>> <<@johnmorgan8565 says : Having just obtained my first Chromebook, I am keen to start playing with Linux apps. I have used Veracrypt on Windows for many years so thought I would try it on the Chromebook. Followed your excellent guide, installing LibreOffice and Solitaire (of course), then installed Veracrypt after downloading the Deb file. Opened up Veracrypt and created a test container ok, but when trying to mount it get an error "failed to set up a loop device". I have searched online for a solution but can't find anything which makes sense to me as a Linux newbie. Do you know of a fix? Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.>> <<@nara_visuals says : try chromeos flex the new version, latest one>> <<@dustincarr3215 says : I've done this myself. Question: I've installed Audacity; unable to figure out recording system audio. Normally in Linux proper I would utilize pavucontrol to set things up. In this case I have installed both programs, pulse audio does not appear.>> <<@ChaoticBlox3 says : Out of curiosity, could I install this on an older Chromebook that isn't supported and have it run decently again? Also will the Sim Card slot work running this distro? I hear a lot of people have issues getting laptops/chromebooks with 5g sim card slots and not be able to use 5g from the sim card after installing Linux based disros. Any suggestions for 5g capable devices?>> <<@fennec7906 says : You can tell this man is a straight up savage in the bedroom.>> <<@MichaelMossmanNZ says : To start Terminal directly NEXT time, first pin its icon to the Shelf, then in future, right-click the icon & select Penguin from there ... thanks @ExplainingComputers for another great vid =)>> <<@williamgeorge2433 says : Thanks for the informative video.>> <<@GurdeepSingh11555 says : This is the right time for Google to add DUAL BOOT support in Chrome OS Flex because Windows 10 is expiring soon and people will go for alternatives, and they will need a time to shift which will be easy for them if they start using both Windows and Chrome OS at the same time via DUAL BOOT Please everyone demand this Dual Boot feature from Chrome OS Flex team via feedback>> <<@Artafp6003 says : Will obs studio work on it>> <<@pipoviola says : Fantastic job, thanks for all your help!>> <<@Little-Techie-Teddy-Bear says : have you done a video on chromeOS (not flex)>> <<@Nightingale1887 says : I've just installed it on a neighbour's older celeron N3060 based with 4GB DDR3 RAM and a SATA 128GB SSD. Use case is an old lady just wanting to watch some YouTube and read emails. It was still running W10 but that slowed it down to a halt. Trying to do even the most basic daily things. She was so fed up that she wanted to buy a new laptop. Now it just works. WiFi, Bluetooth, all the easy FN functions. No hassle no fuzz. It is easy it is safe. It does what she wants. Best of all zero cost. Saved a laptop from the landfill and one happy neighbour. What is not to like.>> <<@sanderhulsman-m1k says : I find this video very informative without me having to wonder what this guy tries to tell me. Definitely saves me much time and gives me even some joy again to select which Linux on desktop or on the net I will try for an install. Greetings !! Indeed>> <<@7aemr says : it's like macos but free>> <<@Neo_Almagest says : I tried to install VLC player and it crashes. Native video player on Chrome OS Flex doesn't support subtitles.>> <<@UnlockKey-e4k says : Tthank you a lot i have manage to install office in my chrome book using for video>> <<@mohammadalinilforooshan8416 says : This video made me think to try Chrome OS Flex on an old laptop!>> <<@dbuwehiwebf says : You have the same wallpaper like i chose xD>> <<@martingilligan says : Your vids have helped me greatly in rejuvenating an aging Dell PC that was running Windows 10. Thank you.>> <<@thestingyham1188 says : Thanks. I like ChromeOS, but I am disappointed in the lack of international printer support. My Epson does not work, and postscript doesn't help.>> <<@satisfying321go says : Awesome video very informative.. thank you>> <<@miketyson8275 says : thank you for sharing this this really helps✊😁>> <<@LittleChef-Kolkata says : Most Best Channel I am Fan ❤>> <<@OldGreyTrunk2 says : be nice if google put the google play store into it.>> <<@horationelson57 says : Dear Mr Barnatt, an English major, here, so I prefer reading Milton, rather than tinkering around, too much, on my pc. My Win 10 laptop is unsupported for Win 11, so what would be the the most healthful/ least-fuss-OS to breathe new-life into my 2018 laptop; Linux, say Mint, or Chrome OS? Thank you so very much!>> <<@1983englishman says : Such a useful video. Brilliantly explained. Thank you very much>> <<@Reclamalo says : is it possible to install the linux in a micro sd? thanks>> <<@Common_Catholic_W says : I thought you were going to “flex” ChromeOS so I clicked the video cuz i thought it would be funny but then I heard the Bri’ish accent and hit dislike>> <<@fa046192 says : I installed Chrome OS flex on my 9 year old Windows 8 laptop, it works very well, Linux apps also work well but start up slowly, once started it works fine, Chrome OS flex takes 25 seconds to start up, in fact a great solution to reduce waste. PysolFC is a better solicetaire, very nicely finished.>> <<@wonderfulwinnder says : Chrome OS Flex has a relatively poor performance (compared with Windows), can't play movies smoothly, can't play music with surround sound, not every picture can be opened, limited file formats are supported. Many Linux apps do not run properly. The only thing it does well is to get you online via the Chrome browser. If your computer runs Windows properly, stay with Windows. Only if your computer is so low spec that it can't even run Windows, Chrome OS is then a viable option.>> <<@matteobarbieri1190 says : I have a terminal but, if I click on settings, I have a different screen and said: Linux is not supported on your Chromebook. Are there any other possibilities? I have a 2008 MacBook, a very old Mac I am trying to restore>> <<@rarebird67 says : Thank you for the tutorial .>> <<@OclockDereje says : ok I want to ask one thing my chrome book is managed by other library so how can change by my self and used my chromebook>> <<@tslvtslv6265 says : Thank you sir Very helpful video>> <<@CraigLillie says : Have to say, I was hoping you would try installing Firefox on a chromeOS device. But it wouldn't do to upset our Google Overlords! 🤣>> <<@trlwaifulover7593 says : this makes chromeOS not a garbage OS, it's like a linux distro but with a good UX>> <<@Empty-nd9fb says : Thanks!>> <<@FnfMaker says : Give html pls>> <<@drogi007 says : hello, is there any "store" application in debian which we can install there, where you can browse for all debian applications which are available?>> <<@Sasha-Good says : One problem -- Google doesn't adopt to mount disk images in Lunix. It's a big problem if someone want to use a big app, like steam games, or something similar.>> <<@ToddCleland-fs9iw says : Quick question, once you get linux developer access and install a bunch of Linux apps, is there a way to then limit or lock terminal access but still keep the Linux apps you already installed? I know I can remove Linux environment, but that also removes the apps. I just want to lock down standard user (students) access to developers access? Also is it possible to install apps for all Chrome os flex users all at the same time rather than one at a time?>> <<@anthony14363 says : The best OS ever, in my opinion, is Chrome OS Flex! particularly for someone who is minimalist like me It simply completes the task without any further complications or roadblocks, going right to the purpose.>> <<@phillip1211 says : Why can't all content providers be like this guy. Straightforward, easy to follow, plain English and highly informative. Great teacher, keep it up.>>
