Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@eziolinux says : Excellent video, drivers are always such a pain, but you sir introduced the argument wonderfully. I have a question, what if I have to change the GPU from Nvidia to AMD? Should I purge the Nvidia drivers and install the new AMD ones, or Linux does it automatically?>> <<@bedfordcf24x49 says : I wonder if you would consider continuing this series into slightly more advanced territory. In transitioning from Windows to Linux two main things tripped me up. 1. Mapping network drives and mounting them on startup. 2. Mounting drives in the user's Home so they are directly accessable by programs (e.g. adding folders to Plex Server libraries). I think a video on these might help others.>> <<@GungaLaGunga says : 'rodents' lol>> <<@MikeBob2023 says : 🙏🏼 I've specced out my upcoming *dedicated Linux Mint* build to use an (ASRock) Intel Arc A770 GPU that I picked up during last year's Black Friday sales ... I hope it works! 🤞🏼 (As for the printer -- I'm not sure I'll be using one -- but I'll hunt around for a suitable HP or Epson model if I decide to. 👍🏼)>> <<@mihailvormittag6211 says : 👍>> <<@ShadowPriestBear says : Im just in love with Zorin OS I think is the most friendly Linux distro with win users.>> <<@DanielField2023 says : Just install Zorin OS 16 Pro Great i have a canon image class mf 4370 dn it doesn't work Zorin look for driver not found I got the driver for windows Zorin 0S 16 Pro find the canon on the network but it need the driver to run not found in their list so i stay with Windows for now. no linux driver for my canon laser .>> <<@keepsformat says : This was very helpful, thank you!>> <<@jo9732 says : Really appreciate this Linux introductory series. I'm getting less and less interested in paying top dollar for windows or mac computers. its getting out of hand. Most of what I do online is youtube/websites and really the only thing I need a computer for is spreadsheets. Thanks. I would like to see some content about what kind of phones people who tend towards Linux use. Thanks.>> <<@MM-zc6qv says : I've been distro hopping for a while. I think I'd pick either Mint (w/ Twister UI) or Zorin (as my friends recommended). But I like the auto-detect printing system for Linux. I wish they had that in Windows.>> <<@Myrulv says : I have been using LINUX for many years, also professionaly. I still find your videos use full. : )>> <<@HailedMainEvent says : Brother has good Linux support too, in my experience.>> <<@stevesculptor1 says : Wow what happened at 21:17 ? what is Execute ? This is the first time I've installed software on Linux, I have the software on the Terminal. what next ?>> <<@paulbillingham4594 says : Hi Chris. I am a newish subscriber and have happily bought a Raspberry Pie 400 and changed my OS from Win 7 to Linux Mint on my desktop. I wish I did this years ago as things actually work. In my 50's PC's are still a learning curve, but easily use Linux Mint as my work and University have access to Office 365. We just have to get to it and Windows 10 or 11 is a very expensive way of doing this. Just put Bionic Pup 32 Bit on a flash drive for my partners very old HP laptop. Thank you for posting. Your videos are very helpful and unlike some American YouTube computer videos, you don't shout at the camera and assume we know what is being shouted about. Thanks>> <<@Ali-kl3ql says : So nvidia!! **** You! 😂 "A great man said">> <<@DocKingliveshere says : You need the nvidia drivers if you want Handbrake to use your graphics card ram to convert files. WAY faster than not using them.>> <<@garyjohnson4608 says : Don't waste your time looking around for a Linux compatible all-in-one inkjet printer for home use because as of July 2022, there are not any on the open market since virtually all printer manufacturers no longer make or market any.>> <<@brentvalentine says : Thank you for this video. I am building a 'new' computer and I have been searching for a GPU. Nvidia is still in the running for the upgrade, pricewise. This video has come at the perfect time for me. Thanks>> <<@MicrobyteAlan says : Yup I’m back, I just imaged Zorin on a PC’s NVMe m2. Blistering fast. I was also able get my nvidia graphics card to work. Thanks 👍👍>> <<@GeneralChangFromDanang says : I love how Linux will find all my peripherals without me even having to tell it. It automatically installed my printer, my bluetooth and my wireless keyboard and mouse. Windows only got one of the three.>> <<@canalsenhorpe says : good cristian. you inspired me 😃🇧🇷>> <<@cheungs7 says : I have a printer connected to a Linux Mint machine, but I want this to be shareable with other PCs on my Wifi LAN (other Windows and Linux machines). Could you have a tutorial around this topic? Thanks! Love your videos!>> <<@mrh829 says : Wow, the Epson Stylus Photo R300. The only reason I've kept one of those around is for its CD printing ability, but it's arguably difficult to keep a seldom-used Epson printer working nicely because of plugged up print heads.>> <<@Flight1530 says : keyboards and "RODENTS" should plug and play..... lol>> <<@GamerBoy705_yt says : Just wanted to tell this. I've been binging your videos for 3 days now and the production quality (even though it looks simple) is excellent and the videos are really informative and accurate. I wish I could've seen this series a year ago when I switched to Linux. Thanks for the work!>> <<@Chris-op7yt says : indeed gpu drivers are slower to be developed and debugged on linux, even by brand sake companies. had lots of black screens on several linux distros during install on a pc with a new gpu but based on old tech. was especially painful during transition to no more vesa text mode allowed era..but those modes are still there in hardware lol>> <<@YuGiOhJCJ says : If you are looking for the driver of a specific printer on Linux, you can go there https://www.openprinting.org/printers and download the driver for your printer. Sometimes it is just a PPD file that you can download directly. Then go on http://localhost:631/ to add your printer manually using this PPD file.>> <<@NathanChisholm041 says : I hope that's the DDR5 version and not the DDR4! There are two Nivida GT1030 cards and the DDR4 is 60% slower than the DDR5 version! Nivida and its doggy practices...>> <<@stalinvlad says : How about a quick guide to awk, with a bit of sqlite3 to help solve wordle ?>> <<@tonym480 says : I have found the best printers for Linux to be HP with HPLIP. In the past I struggled to get an Epson printer to work with Linux Mint. I did manage it eventually but only by seeking out a driver from the Linux community. It looks from this video as though things have improved, but based on my past experience, personally I would only buy HP and would avoid Epson at all costs.>> <<@richardpalmanteer9798 says : Well, I have a Canon MG2522 Ink Jet Printer attached to my Dell Optiplex 790 running Window 10. I'll check and see if there is a printer driver for Raspberry Pi Debian 32 bit Desktop OS, as you have suggested. As always you are helpful to those of us fairly new to Linux I've been mucking around with the different distro's for a while and just keeps my old mind cogs running so I don't need any grease to keep them turning.>> <<@davidpriestley3268 says : I’ve found Brother support for Linux very good.>> <<@AveryChow says : printer support was really easy for me! I just went to print something in firefox, and my printer was already there as one of the options! super awesome how easy auto detection has made it.>> <<@miketan373 says : 😎>> <<@aman-sood says : wait.. I need additional drivers if I have onboard graphics? I did search for drivers none came, is that alright or I have to dig around more?>> <<@donaldrshaffer says : Would you do a series on Gentoo Linux?>> <<@RonLarhz says : Why did my teacher say the 12v 4 pin cpu connector is also called AUX? Isnt aux=audio?>> <<@jay-gi9dk says : i've got the same video card in my linux mint box>> <<@supernovice8350 says : I had a very bad experience with Epson printer in linux. It only print this $ symbol. I downloaded the driver from the official site but the output is still $. When I went to my friend house, I just plugged my laptop to their canon printer and all works well. Same with HP and Brothers it works plug and play. At this point I'm very disappointed with Epson now.>> <<@atulbhardwaj3881 says : please make a video on resetting printer ink counters>> <<@Lucifer-os4iv says : If you can fix the brightness changing problem in MSI Modern 14 Ubuntu I will donate $100>> <<@aljo54 says : My Samsung ML1860 is detected by Mint, but none of the drivers I've tried on the list will make it print (I can't claim to have tried them all though, just the most likely seeming). Shame, cos it's been a good little printer in Windows.>> <<@bertvantol9669 says : What about THIS !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn3-Lwz4fN8>> <<@Poifix says : Note that it says SHOULD plug-and-play. Most likely doesn't. Or if it does, probably not as intended.>> <<@StuckInVim says : Make a network printer and network shared files video>> <<@ShinobiDiabolik says : Hello, Christopher, I enjoy the Linux videos you make, not only the survival, but in general the Linux videos. I am using Manjaro Linux, and i am happy with it. I guess one day you can make a review about it. I do not mean to be rude, but i believe I spotted a small typo in the video. While your printer is Epson Stylus Photo 300 series, you typed the Epson Stylus Photo 3000 series series on Epson Web page. i believe this might be one reason, to make the driver detection of a driver on manufacturer's web page to fail. For some reason, i cannot shake away the thought that if you typed the correct series - 300 series, you might end up with a driver in your hands. Time stamps: 13:35 - shows the printer model as detected by Linux Mint - 300 series 14:40 - shows query about Epson Stylus Photo 3000 series Otherwise I enjoy your videos in general and i am happy to see a new video. Thank you for your effort, Christopher, it is most appreciated. Kind Regards>> <<@reggiep75 says : As an Nvidia GPU card owner, driver issues continues to put a question mark over using my PC for a Linux installation and I may use a Rasp Pi or x86 SBC to instigate a gentle transition over to Linux this year and only using Windows for games or specific software.>> <<@LarryCarlin says : Great help reminding me to check for new NVIDIA drivers. Often, once I set up the system, I don't revisit the previous selection. Your on-screen examples are spot-on; I pause them as I repeat the example locally.>> <<@stephenjones8928 says : Finally. A set of guides on how to survive Linux.>> <<@ardithconley2628 says : Epson put a new driver that does not let you run none Epson ink carts. I have been trying to reset that. But I wonder if the Linux driver will let me run my ink carts.>>
