Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Greenjuiceman says : I really love your videos - so helpful and informative - brilliant>> <<@jjones5083 says : Linux is OK up to a point. However, things like using google drive are relatively simple in Windows. Google drive appears to be an absolute nightmare in Linux. I've been experimenting with rclone for that, but rclone is not that friendly and setting the google side of it up is a nightmare.>> <<@chibha96 says : I like the explanation of Linux in a short video. I'm also using the OS.>> <<@DaveTheGM says : I tend to use manjaro, the AUR has a lot of cool stuff in it. I have trouble keeping rolling releases from breaking however.>> <<@IssacBerry-nd8pt says : uk degraded and need its own OS, like china. indeed the best bet i say will be uk+china buy up the fydeos and release the code. both need a OS that ppl can really use and be away from usa. fydeos is a solution that fit everybody. ps china may already own fydeos s code, its a uk-china company.>> <<@francez123456789 says : Still can't find a good alternative to substance. Worst case, senario, i just run it in a VM and allow it access to my linux install just not the internet>> <<@MrEasyCheasy says : Im so glad this chanell is still going. Truly one of the greats>> <<@osvaldogandolfo8283 says : This video is windows 11 guide on the internet>> <<@chiwabryan says : 2 hours setting it up, works well enough, it asks for updates, click ok, downloads, reboot, corrupted kernel.>> <<@gdotone1 says : linux is still pretty bad, better than windows barely.>> <<@davidhouseago416 says : I have tried 3 different downloads and two different flash apps. Nothind works so I guess I will have to stick with windows!>> <<@lima1877 says : Are you related to Scotty Kilmer?>> <<@Bobbel888 says : 1:15 Privacy might be a reason, if not the goal should be everything than switching to linux. Ubuntu's private FOSS-repository appears to be hijacked by a clear agenda, dumping many established features --> HOSS>> <<@MusikCassette says : just here to tell the algorithem to show this to more people.>> <<@tommymorrison6478 says : I tried moving over to Linux (Mint) but gave up on it when I started having driver problems and, worse, when my backup software started playing up. If you can't backup it's no good. It's also true that, while Linux may be great for nerds, it's not so for the average user who just wants an OS that works, not one that he has to tinker with all the time.>> <<@nawazwaseem2219 says : When I'm in bios, my USB doesn't get detected. Any help please??>> <<@davros517 says : Is there a version of Linux that will run on a less powerful machine, I'm a poor old sort who still runs XP on an Acer laptop ?>> <<@lawnmowermanTX says : I have a sharp criticism about Linux.. it don’t have free cell, card games, chess, I can’t use iTunes to manage my music, I can’t use YouTube or other movie apps and I don’t have time to program it.. I’m not a programmer.. Yet it’s clear that Linux is not a people user friendly O/S.. I don’t know of any gaming machines that use Unix, Linux or is fun to use. There’s no support software or hard copy easy to use manuals to configure Linux for the gamers, DJ’s, movie makers and music developers to enjoy life.>> <<@TheGunmanChannel says : Lynux really sucks, a simple task like downloading and installing a program requires a degree in computer science.>> <<@di57inct says : Lunux>> <<@warrenfloyd-i9q says : what a great teacher and presenter you are. I'm a 60's - 70's school kid and one of the classes we had as mandatory back then along with maths, science etc was Comprehension. We were conditioned via this class to understanding, teachers would say dont just show them how, tell them why. It was a scary place to be at times as the teacher would randomly stop and point to one of us and ask if we understood everything so far, you did not get away with a simple yes, if you tried to you would be requested to give your understanding of it. Man that class made you concentrate and ask questions along the way. You Sir have the awareness to teach in that way, thank you for all you are doing for your many students.>> <<@gechen7 says : Before I like this video :) Would you like to answer me wether Linux distro like ubuntu, Lubuntu or zorin lite is something for average users. I am running Windows 10 now one more year and I dont use my Computer for much else than regular internet use and video. It would help me alot to know as a start, its much contradictory information about the level of Computer knowledge needed for Linux.>> <<@jakpop11 says : Thank you a lot! I'm planning to change my system, but was worried about not liking the new one. I really forgot that I could test it first, and it was a great idea for setting up a virtual machine! 😁>> <<@danielporter7773 says : Also when doing on line banking , linux is far more secure than windows against hackers , keep the linux software up to date>> <<@BsktImp says : 10:15 Nice quick overview. Such a shame though you didn't address the subject of internet security, even in passing. There will be a lot of life-long Win users who have perhaps naively relied on Win Defender & Win Security for firewall & antimalware, and whose instict will be to wonder just what's providing a layer of protection in the set-up you're demonstrating, especially as connect to the web, and d/l and install s/w.>> <<@GeorgeWashington-b6h says : Linux is the best!>> <<@lagubatka7455 says : Is the therminal something to have to learn to use too when making the full switch to linux?>> <<@pavelperina7629 says : I will probably never switch, Linux is nice for servers, even home server, but lack of applications kills it for me. For windows you have few image viewers: FastStone, XnView, Irfan ... for Linux there is 25 simple image viewers, most are very basic, advanced ones still do not have features like annotations. Image editing: you have RawTherapee, Gimp, Krita, maybe paid Affinity Photo (I'm not sure if it exists for Linux). On Windows there is Lightroom, CaptureOne, maybe some software from camera manufacturer, Paint*NET. Not sure if for example OrcaSlicer for 3D printing exist for Linux. Also, I would say Windows is more stable system if I do not count forced updates. Yeah, my Linux server has 120 days update (thanks to UPS), but my experience is that this cannot be achieved when it's used as a desktop, especially with HW accelerated video playback and there can be always something (on Windows too, but drivers are usually more tested)>> <<@Jart988 says : The one app I will have problems with, is iTunes, which I use to make backups of my family's iPhones>> <<@Columbo199X says : Great and straightforward video. Something I'm curious about before switching is file systems. Will I have to reformat my NTFS hard drives when switching to Linux, or will they work just fine?>> <<@angel_machariel says : Excellent video. I have a large external SSD drive. Half of it not used. The other half is heavily used. How to reserve, say, 150 GB to try Linux from said drive? So a part needs to be bootable from that SSD. When I look around, they always want me to download obscure little software packages and do magic with it. Don't know what to trust.>> <<@officialjpyro84 says : I've been with Linux since crouton was introduced and I had my chromebook, learning about virtual machines and the like to build my own music studio using only open source softwares and the like. I eventually moved to Ubuntu Studio. I never looked back. It even inspired to make my own tech tutorials for those doing what I was doing. Blessings.>> <<@SnarkierThan-U-R says : If we can run inux from a zip file, why bother to install it at all.>> <<@richdemars9302 says : Linux simply Rocks, I use RichARCH btw. It made it quick and simple for me to get Arch Linux installed with kickstart like automation features.>> <<@cookieface80 says : Streaming services have lower quality on Linux though. Usually either 720p or even sometimes as low as 480p maximum.>> <<@gregmcmahon124 says : Very helpful video.>> <<@1246dave says : Looking for help Made the USB with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22 as directed. Changed boot sequence to USB and restarted. When the menu came up I selected Linux etc and got the Linux logo then the screen went blank and nothing else happened except on my TV it came up "HDMI unplugged or weak signal" Tried 4 times to install this way but got that every time. Am I to assume its something to with Linux not accepting HDMI ?>> <<@nicoleking772 says : Linux Mint User Here. Personally I find that I could live with the FOSS software and DON'T miss Microshaft software. Through WINE my boys' favorite games work and our favorite streaming sites work no problem. The learning curve was rather shallow and a joy to learn. NEVER ONCE did my OS take control of my machine in the middle of writing an important report of while uploading this weeks invoices. Linux chooses when I update NOT MS management. And since most software is Open Source, If there are bugs in software they are found and fixed rather quickly. Even if the same software is updated two or three times (which i rare). I can do so at my leisure so it's .big deal to me.>> <<@stchman says : Microsoft Edge is available for Linux in a .deb and .rpm. MS Office online is an option, so id Libre Office. Google Chrome is not open source.>> <<@Iameverywhere6969 says : That is one clean good looking OS. I want to try it. Thank you dear good sir for the good video>> <<@arild7384 says : It has it's own intaller now? .. Calamares.>> <<@favio.romero says : I'm in the process of switching to Linux to extend the life span of my notebook and this video proved to be very enlightening. Thanks a lot!>> <<@MrThomascd says : Thanks for sharing.....Carl Thomas North Carolina,, USA>> <<@melichj says : What about wubuntu, the windows like desktop on ubuntu...>> <<@petrihaikonen2528 says : Microsoft Edge has been available for Linux for a long time. It is missing some features the Windows version has, such as the compatibility mode.>> <<@einsteinorwell says : Microsoft Edge is available for Linux. It runs well.>> <<@AlexMkd1984 says : windows is best why you need to switch on trash os only poor linux people use linux because they have trash pc>> <<@MikeHann-j5j says : This and some of your other videos has encouraged me to try Linux Mint (Cinnamon). On the basis of your very clear explanations, I have been able to successfully make a bootable USB disk and try out the Linux system. Whilst my laptop is fairly highly specced, it does not meet the Windows requirements to upgrade to Windows 11, so it is my my plan to exhaustively test Linux up to the cut-off in October 2025 and move out of the Windows environment altogether. Many thanks for your excellent videos, I have now subscribed and will check back regularly.>> <<@darkalligator says : unfortunately my epspn l555 doesnt seem to work with any of linux i have tried. 😥>> <<@datathreadsorceress8624 says : Glad that Oracle improved 5+ years ago. My school had issues installing it on their PCs>>
