#linux #opensource #beginnerfriendly - Hry
switching to linux years ago was a huge relief. I don't feel like I'm fighting my devices to do basic things on linux.
Windows is trash
who rembers wen he switched to linux and now he is one of us
I have been absorbed
Switched to Linux based OS in 2017. Manjaro, MX linux, pop os, fedora, debian... you name it, pure love. Not perfect, but still better than Windows 10/11.
I am a new user, not particularly good with computers. I have been using open source alternatives for years. Recently made the full switch to Linux a couple weeks ago. It has been really easy and my hardware now works again properly. Booting literally five times faster was a nice bonus. Windows is malware
Welcome to the community! ❤
Having a windows installation on a separate drive that you can select by pressing a key when you boot (bios key for selecting boot device, just like when you install with a usb stick) is really not a bad idea.
Might give you a small sense of safety in case your linux install would for some reason become unbootable and demands a repair.
In those cases it can sometimes be pretty nice as a new user to have windows to fall back on, no shame in that!
Then in a year or so, when you realize "I haven't booted into windows for more than a few months", you remove it completely and your neckbeard magically grows a little.. xD
@@marcusjohansson668 Thanks for the info, but I went full cold turkey. If I really need it again I can borrow the work laptop. Will feel dirty doing though, not in a good way.
I'd really rather not have any of their code on my machine in any capacity. Looking at my phone next.
I don't do anything wrong but when they can change what "wrong" is at any point, I'd rather not let them develop the infrastructure of a totalitarian state. Watching my gov get a hard on for breaking the Nurenburg code without consequences recently put me on high alert.
Neck beard coming along nicely lol. Wheres that tin foil at?
@@charliecarpenter2840 Shots fired..
Again, welcome to the community buddy.. :)
Tinfol hat or not, here everybody is welcome, as long as you don't spread hate.
Reading between the lines, I think we are on the same page here..
@@charliecarpenter2840 "Neck beard coming along nicely" 😂😂😂
Totally agree with you. "I'm not doing anything wrong so I have nothing to worry about" is crazy naive. There's tons of evidence that that isn't true. Plus linux is just better. I wish I had figured that out sooner!
You can always run a VM of win10 or something if you really need a windows app (win10 runs better than 11 in my experience, maybe its just my machine tho)
I'm cheering for Linux, I wish Valve made a version of SteamOS for everyone, not only the Steam Deck users, shouldn't be that hard. And since it's a "gaming OS", that'll help with marketing and switching people over. With so many people being unhappy with Windows 11, now it's the perfect time.
Windows 10 is still supported (for now), but when it'll be out of support...
They started contributing to some NVIDIA stuff which currently messes up their OS.
My theory is, that NVIDIA has some weird guidelines for using their driver which is why Valve wants an open solution to work. Once Gamescope, their compositor, is NVIDIA compatible, then it can finally be released
There is a "version for everyone", its called Arch linux, the steameck runs on a forked and modified arch distro... :)
Might not be EASY to use for anyone, but just sayin', it's there and nvidia works perfectly fine using their latest up to date drivers... xD
There are bazzite and chimera os which are pretty similar to steamos
@@tapafon_redAnd at least AtlasOS exists.
I can't use Linux as a daily driver for multiple reasons, but for the years that I was using Linux, it changed my choice in software for the better, I usually almost always choose the option source option for programs instead of the proprietary ones because I genuinely think most of them are better.
do you mind sharing the reasons why you can't switch to Linux?
Yeah, I am also curious about that.
There are a few programs that are not usable on linux, but the alternatives are in most cases very close.
The only reason I can ever see is if a workplace DEMANDS the use of a software unsupported on linux, and that software can not be ran in a virtual win11 machine.
For real, Amberol is decades ahead of every single music player I've tried on Windows.
@@dznwombo maybe windows is required to his job, like mine. Or there is not alternative apps that he can use. My company only allowed windows and macos systems which is sad.
@@marcusjohansson668Anyone who says that the alternatives are in most cases very close really doesn't work with them for a living in my experience. You can't send something from Affinity Photo to somebody who uses Photoshop. There is literally nothing that can compete with After Effects for motion designers, for instance. So, even on Windows, people are stuck with Adobe. So, for average users, the alternatives are enough, but the people who can't switch are the ones who use software professionally.
I switched to Linux 2 month ago and I'm very happy with it. There are 3 apps that works only on Windows but I installed Win11 on VMware and the performance is really good.
I use Kate for programming, it's good
I previously used Kate but I switched over to KDevelop. It's basically the same program but I like the Intellisense features for C++. I get a lot less errors when I compile because it highlights the errors as I make them.
@@TheHighpotinuseIsn't KDevelop unmaintained?
@@mirakle9375 Their git instance has commits from a few days ago. Last stable release was 5 months ago.
I am using Linux and learning how to do everything i do in other OS and it is just awesome! Love it
I use Linux Mint one year and it just does everything I need from it without ads, bloatware and privacy invasion.
OBS + VkCapture = Amazing capture performance.
is it banneble by any anticheats? Like Vac
@@milkkolajNo, and it will never be. It in simple terms, is just asking the GPU for the display output. That isn’t bannable.
@@xanderplayz3446 yeah I was just asking since its a less known program than mangohud for an example :D
@@milkkolajanticheat?you are a bot from montajn view this is not a game..
i do like watching other peoples workflows and consider if i should adopt it in part.
I think mpv is the best video player, it also integrates better with yt-dlp, where vlc won't play many online video streams, mpv plays most just fine.
VLC is more intuitive for configuration.
@@Francehelder Yes it easier to configure because you can do it via GUI, but my main issue with it is it has issues playing many online streams, and its a qt application, which means it will pull in a bunch of qt libraries if your running a gtk desktop, and it will look a bit out of place too, besides I think mpv may be more powerful too, you can add more functionality to with with scripts.
Michael I love Linux and watch pretty much all of your videos, today I decided I would start my journey into something I have never used and that is Arch Linux, I am doing a video series on it and I love it so far, I have been so used to using PopOS and Debian based distros so I wanted to venture in the unknown, great video Michael as always!
Do not use Chrome under any circumstances. If you must, disable third-party cookies. Chrome is designed to profile you and monetize you. In these days you do not need Chrome for compatibility reasons even with those “corporate apps”. Brave, Firefox. Anything is superior to Chrome.
Thing is most people don't really care about being profiled/monetized
and how is that affecting me? I don't see a difference.
@@sloters5473 would you care if I was looking through your windows all the time?
I only use Google chrome because of Google sheets PWA that I find more intuitive than other spreadsheets available for Linux
@@ZephyrCheez honestly I wouldn't care if the data wasn't being given or sold to every govt on the planet. Companies can't k!ll me or kidnap me & lock me in a cage.
That video was extremely helpful. That "Bottles" thing ...
I love these videos. For Linux I don't do as much gaming on PC but I do love Rofi for pulling up programs it is so quick and fast. Floorp for web browsing.
I like the hotdog plant there beside you.
I would recommend mpv for videos as it plays any video better where VLC can at times have playback issues.
I need to take screenshots and then draw a couple of lines on them for work. I use Spectacle which is included with KDE Plasma. Is annotation is perfect because I need to do things quickly and it has a smooth flow.
ty for sharing
It should be noted that running a windows virtual machine can help most people wanting to switch, but still have a few programs holding them back. It's not perfect & very geeky, but for me use case not having to dual-boot is a big win. Good list, but I wish you put links in the description to help those trying to follow along.
Totally agree, a windows 10 VM is so much better than a dual boot system! (Win11 ran horribly as a VM for me, very slow and unusable)
Fun Fact, a lot of uses for Web-Based apps you showed (Teams, Whatsapp, CZcams Music and so on) have Naitive Linux (teams-for-linux, whatsapp-nativefier, youtube-music-bin). Rule of Thumb, if it's on the AUR (Arch User Repository) it's on every major Linux distro.
Piper is great. My logitech mouse stopped working and I wasn't able to use my desktop because that was my only mouse. I was able to unbrick it with a linux laptop by rewriting the onboard memory.
Are you interested in trying Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite or opensuse Micro OS? I would consider those the first flatpak/flathub native distros. Particularly Micro OS. They both are amazing.
I would say there is still a couple big missing features with discord on linux
no audio when screensharing which is very disappointing that this still isnt implemented even tho third party clients like vesktop support it with their own api (venmic)
Then there is no hardware encoding when screen sharing so the performance is still not good enough, then with hardware encoding your still using your cpu as there is no texture encoding support yet under chromium(this allows the gpu to encode fully instead of parsing it onto the cpu and back)
obs is getting this support for all hardware vendors on linux like amd, nvidia, intel in their next release, so the encoding will all be done on the gpu instead.
Jake from discord also said that wayland support is arriving official this year possibly but its on their lowest list of things to do which sucks :/
Great video nonetheless, i like using gimp also, took me a while to learn most things vs learning Photoshop but it was worth it in the end as i dont need windows :)
You should check out Vesktop. It tries to fix some of these problems and is more private than the official client.
Yeah, it's very sad that discord refuses to release a linux version.
Any discord version ran on linux is ported by random dudes so you can use it.
Those guys (that port discord) are great. Discord themselves, not so much...
I actually have never used screen sharing on discord, but it sounds like something with pipewire (or maybe xwayland) is not working properly.
If it works on x11, use that and just wait and I have a feeling that sooner or later it will also work on wayland.
@@marcusjohansson668 discord does have a native port, it just sucks ass wipes lmao, missing hardware acceleration, and yeah the audio is discord not supporting pipewire or pulseaudio(we shouldnt be focusing on pulse anymore)
then wayland natively doesnt work properly because of discords own api not supporting it fully when trying to do it, xwaylandvideobridge can solve this or vesktop with their own api that they use with pipewire for both capturing and audio + hardware encoding for amd gpus
It rlly sucks that discord thinks of us as a "low priority" for bringing basic features, but it's all about money so what can you do :/
It is always interesting to see the software others use. I am an avid Linux user and use most of the same apps. Unfortunately, the only thing keeping me needing to have a Windows install handy is Excel. I am a power user, and no Excel alternative can do what I need for my job.
Here's hoping that either Microsoft make the full featured Office for Linux, or they finally start to get feature parity in Excel online. Until that happens, I can never dive fully in on Linux.
I've wanted to make the switch for years, but the 2 primary reasons I haven't are:
1. Lack of a good photo editor. I'm not technically a professional, but still do a ton of photo editing. I'm pretty anti-adobe, so use the Affinity suite instead, but Gimp isn't even close (though I do continue to check in on the project as well as try semi-alternatives like Krita). I say that with much love for open source tools and the devs that work on them (including making financial donations to projects like Blender, Krita).
2. I use Resolve for editing, and it's something I really need to "just work" and work well (I have an nvidia gpu for exactly that reason). This might be a non-issue, but with only one computer, it's been hard to really test out a full installation of Linux with Resolve to see what works, and what doesn't (including codecs)
There are likely to be other issues too that I haven't thought of or encountered without doing a proper install. Though thinking about trying to do an install onto an external usb-c connected drive, to really try testing it. Just need to find the time.
Thanks for a great video 👍
Affinity does work on Linux. There is an easy install guide on the forums (it uses bottles)
Oh nice! The last time I checked I saw someone trying to get it to work, and it kiiinda worked, but was pretty unstable. Happen to have a link to the install guide you're referring to? Thanks!@@leonardo.muricy
Running a dual boot system only costs upwards of 50GB of storage. Maybe then you can try those things without having to give up your Windows install.
Windows 11 already requires 52 GB as I tried installing a VM it seems. In one year when it's the only supported version, it will grow bigger due to "local" AI.
@@MichaelNROH That's not true.
I use Vmware, and if I configure the drives to be in sectioned .vmdk files (the files will increase in size when actual data is written to them even though the virtual hard drive is set to 100GiB)
A fresh install I made last week with win11 is 19.7GiB.
I have used wayland on intel, amd and even nvidia gpu and it was 99% without issues. A lot better than x11 + trackpad gestures
I still wonder why most people won't mention Krita as a Photoshop alternative, even though it is both as feature-rich as PS and has a huge plugin ecosystem, while being backed by the KDE community. People can try it on Windows or MacOS before switching to Linux too. Adobe software is advanced amateur and hobbyist software anyway, it is not professional-grade. (Stability issues, compatibility issues, data corruption and less-than-desirable configurability/customizability are just a few issues of Adobe's software)
Krita is meant more for art than Gimp.
I have family member who uses a tablet with an old version of photoshop. does Krita have tablet support? They don't know much about open source alternatives so i was trying to find them something they could try since they cannot afford to pay for a subscription to the newer photoshop.
@@ttrev007 Krita and Photoshop are not responsible for tablets working. That's a driver thing. To answer that though yes. Wayland based environments now support tablets properly. Krita does have some options for tablet settings like pen pressure but your desktop should manage those anyway.
Krita has relatively low exposure, especially on Windows.
Even though I'm technically working a lot in this space, I had no idea it existed until I randomly stumbled upon it.
Being mainly advertised as just a drawing program also doesn't help it in that regards.
From a usability perspective, I think that Krita is way closer to Photoshop
One of the few product lines that the name brand just pwns. That said, *github has lots of PS for free repos.*
I liked your shirt man. Where can I buy one? Keep it up pal
It's in the description if you are interested.
Regarding 7:50, GNOME Online Account's Microsoft 365 profile while allowing different client IDs doesn't require you to specify one as they ship a default GNOME provided/owned client ID for it since the recent version which is available in Fedora 40, etc.
This footage is from my Fedora 46 vs Plasma 6 Overview, so did something change? During that time there was a lot of confusion
That KDE color scheme looks amazing, would you mind sharing it?
It's "nothing" I think
Goldwave runs well under Wine. It's the only commercial application I still use.
Nice bro we wait for customize 2024 tutorial ❤
I like the customisations you have done, why don't you make video on editing your desktop enviorment
I already did one for Plasma 5. Nothing really changed for 6, except the Theme ("nothing")
Programs i use on linux:
XED - text editor, Libre Office Calc/Writer/Math, Steam, Heroic Launcher, Google Chrome, Document Scanner, Nemo - file organizer, Celluloid, CPU-X, Mangohud, Hardinfo, Stacer.
That's about it, some programs look like shit - namely XED and scanner - but they are highly customizable and extendablizable. Notepad on windows was not.
I'd been considering Linux for a while. Then Windows 10 came out and it wouldn't run on my computer, so I switched to Linux and haven't missed a thing from not being on Windows anymore.
As for the programs I use, I don't do video or photo editing but I do use Gimp when I need to mess with a photo for anything. I use VLC to watch things that aren't online. Discord is the only social media I do and I use Brave and Firefox to get online.
Programs he didn't mention in the video, I use Vim as my text editor / development platform. I just Joplin for my note taking (OneNote equivalent) and I use Thunderbird for my email.
Come to think of it, there is one thing I miss about Windows and that is that I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse and I cannot configure the extra keys on the keyboard because Logitech doesn't make a control center for Linux. But that's fine, I have created my own by editing my bash files and now don't need those extra keys.
Solaar ? May be worth a shot
@@motoryzen Sweet. It works great. Thanks.
@@dragonwood4562 🙂..awesome
Hi Michael, after the release of Plasma 6 do you use debian 12 or fedora more often?
Plasma 6 is not ready yet on Debian, unless I go experimental. I like to stay on testing or stable, depending on the version
Do you think RocDecode available in the latest version of ROCm 6.1 will be something that will allow Davinci mp4 support on AMD cards? I wonder if it will be available for owners of graphics cards on RDNA2 architecture from the RX 6000 series.
Actually, I pay a very small amount of month on a subscription, which include 1 T onedrive that i use with MS on line. So for my level of work, i can you the online Microsoft apps with ease.
I got old Logitech keyboard I ready like it, but making it working on Linux it was cmake nightmare for 2 days of trial and error, because it wouldn't run without sysemd, but systemd wouldn't run until I turn off that graphic bg picture on boot, once you start switching desktops with little finger you can't just stop you will do anything to bring this feature back, switching between any tutorial and software is so fast and comfy with g5&g6 keys.
I'm a programer i also use Linux for 1.5 Year. and I'm satisfied
I essentially use all of those apps on Windows with some changes. Linux still lacks quite a bit of support for professional audio, especially plugins.
Yes fantastic
I would love to switch over, but have some few problem with things that wont work..
Elgato Stream Deck and Wave 3 mic... Logitech mouse, keyboard and headset.
I have 2 NAS and 2 extenal HDD as well...
I have Fedora 40 KDE on an older laptop.
The Stream Deck is the only think I don't know if it runs with the official firmware, I've seen people hack their custom stuff onto it though :D.
Ive used many Logitech mice (From Hero G502 to Vertical MX) and have used some of their cheap office keyboards and have not had an issue. There may of course be some products that don't work, but with OpenRGB coming up, I think those will be supported too.
As for the NAS, i've had 0 issues with any type of NAS (including smb) with Dolphin. What exactly is your setup any why doesn't it work with Linux?
yo I noticed Davinci Resolve isn't properly picking up your cursor theme. if you want, you can fix this by symlinking your preferred cursor theme to a folder named "default" either in ~/.icons or in /usr/share/icons (or wherever your distro puts globally installed cursor themes). this will fix it for all apps that have issues finding your cursor theme btw.
It's because of distrobox having its own cursor but I don't mind it at all which is why I never fixed it
@@MichaelNROH ah right makes sense, in that case you'd probably have to symlink it to ~/.icons/default and probably also copy it to your ~/.icons folder since if I remember correctly, the /usr/share folder is not visible to distrobox.
I went from OS/2 Warp 4 to SUSE Linux over 20 years ago.
I still can’t screen share with discord on Wayland, even with the Xwayland video bridge. :( I just don’t stream anymore lol
I would fully move over if my Adobe files could be opened in Open Source alternatives so that still could have access to them.
I actually use Edge, I love its suite of features. I REALLY don't look forward to using Firefox when manifest v3 drops.
You also love sharing your data to microsoft I guess.... xD
Manifest v3 does not actually change that much on either chrome or edge, they already more or less comply to it.
@@marcusjohansson668 He says, with a Google account on a google service with a profile containing his name and face
@@marcusjohansson668 bruh moment
You mentioned about Discord. I use it to study with my friends. Sometimes I need to share my screen with audio. But only the screen gets shared, there is no sound sharing on Discord under Linux. Do you know how to solve this?
There is a custom client called vesktop. it supports audio screensharing and has vencord built in
I honestly forgot that this was a thing since it only works for the Desktop itself right?
I think the Discord devs are officially working on it, since they never bothered to implement it in the past.
2:53 Text go brrrr
The Text:
"*That also includes Photopea"
Great video! But why is there a plant with sausages in the back?
I have a EFI dual boot setup with Linux Mint and HoloIso for the Steam games that Mint has problems running like Trailmakers and Starship Troopers: Extermination. When i installed Krita to edit the default Linux icon for the HoloISO one on my EFI custom boot, it has crashed the EFI boot terribly so i reverted back and uninstalled Krita. That being said, HoloIso is strong for games compatibility (even with some anti-cheats) but it is limited for customization and versatility. Bazzite might be the answer to that but I never experienced Fedora Kernal based distros before... I wish someone could make a HoloIso vs Bazzite video to help me decide lol XD.
I have never even heard of some of the things you mention... 😲
Might I suggest you try a "normal" distribution, like SUSE, Fedora, Mint, or even fkn arch.
I have no idea how a normal application like krita would even touch your boot, it has NOTHING to do with that and imho should be an impossible scenario to end up in...
But IF that happened, the distro is the problem, not the application.
@@marcusjohansson668 1) Are you refering to the Debian version of Mint? because the Mint I use is the one based with the Ubuntu repositories. In any case, for my everyday usage, I prefer to stick with Mint for compatibility with Ardour (music creation and mixing program). For my gaming purposes, I am more inclined to try something else but I will use a gaming oriented Distro and this is why Garuda and ChimeraOS, which are both based on Arch (like HoloIso) are also considered.
2) The moment I used Krita to customize one of the icons in my EFI theme boot loader, ALL the images icons changed to the Krita icon logo (including the ones on my boot file) and I received a thumb file cache error. This reverted back to normal when i uninstalled Krita and reinstalled my EFI boot loader theme. The reason I think that the distro is not the problem here is plainly because Krita is verified on Linux Mint and has all the repositories and packages where the EFI theme was not so it might not like being messed with.
- OSS for coding because the less microsoft I have on my system the better
- Solaar for anything involving a logitech unifying receiver
- Timeshift for back ups to external drives
We use a lot of the same stuff, but those are a few helpful ones that you didn't mention or that I thought were alternatives (OSS instead of VSC).
Bottles, huh? I'll have to add it to my list of things to try.
I've been using Heroic Launcher.
I have also been using piper for my setup, but it doesn't support my model of keyboard so when it loses power or i switch to windows its color will reset.
No Onboard Storage?
I honestly hate it when manufacturers do this
@MichaelNROH same. The keyboard is Logitech G910. In piper it shows a mouse (the animal) or sole icon meaning that it doesn't know the hardware. I can still change the rgb colors and it'll hold until the device loses power.
It would be great if piper had a CLI so I could just quietly send a few commands in a script at startup or something to set the colors -_-
It is probably open-source so I could look into it if I wanted I guess (?) Such is the advantage of Linux.
Okay. I had no idea that Piper existed until now. I had entirely assumed there wouldn't have been a Linux alternative for LGS or whatever it's called. The Logitech mice themselves are great, but that Logitech mouse/keyboard software to program them is terrible.
Thanks, dude.
5:00 How do you screen share on Wayland using Discord, because for me it doesn't work. Every time I have to switch to Xorg to screenshare. I'm on Gnome btw (Arch)
Do you have a way of dealing with gtk4 apps like bottles or lutris looking out of place on KDE Plasma or do you just not care? The lack of cohesion between GUI toolkits and proprietary software/drivers are the only things holding me back from using Linux exclusively.
I don't mind it. There are dedicated GTK-Themes which sometimes come in the variant of your QT one, but the headerbar and overall layout is pretty much unchangeable
Unfortunately piper doesn't have all the features of ghub. This is one of the few reasons I keep a windows vm around.
Which features are we talking about? Keyboards, Headsets, or just Mice
@@MichaelNROH I couldn't set the buttons in the gshift mode. I use the side button on the g502 to change what all the buttons do. Things like refresh (F5), close tab (ctrl+w), next tab (ctrl+tab), previous tab (ctrl+shift+tab), reopen tab (ctrl+shift+t) are all bound in my gshift mode when I press the side button.
Fortunately the firmware is on the mouse so I set it up on windows and then it's good to go on any system I use it on.
1:37 - I wish I knew this before 🤦🏻. Surely this doesn't result in massive file sizes right?
Depends on the codec you use in the end. AV1 which can be hardware accelerated on new GPUs has a pretty low filesize.
It's also not the best for editing, but comparable to H.264 in terms of performance
A little misleading on desktop sharing in Linux with Discord. Yes, in Wayland you can share the screen. However, Discord will not share audio, an issue that Discord devs have been aware of for 7 years now.
Vlc can't play hdr content for me, but mpv and mpv based programs can map it to sdr correctly.
You flashed text so quickly when you state there is no substitute for photoshop. What did the text say?
How well do NVIDIA dGPU laptops work with Linux nowdays? Going with Radeon dGPU is safer bet, but there's so little of them to choose from.
Please share your experiences, and with it which series card you have, desktop environment (GNOME/KDE/other) and X11 or Wayland.
rtx 4070 - x11 - cinnamon - amd option is better because performance/price ratio, FSR3 + Framegen support, even with nvidia card i am able to use it but with slight pixelisation on nV card, no DLSS3 and framegen for nvidia on linux for now

What about overall usability? Stability, multiple monitors, that sort of thing. I asked in multiple places and so far it seems 50:50.
@@SirRFI usability and stability is okay however different refresh rate monitors + nvidia + linux isn't good. Esp. high refresh rate monitors. It's being work in progress aswell as wayland. It's not there yet for nvidia for now.

Would be nice if we could use Whatsapp natively on Linux. Video calls is a Windows-Mac Whatsapp native app feature. As a students, it is a must for me, current solution is to use Windows VM.
App support is always important, though a proper PWA with local cache would be enough theoretically.
I have no idea why WhatsApp never did more with the Web version
cool but not worth it for daily driver,
with so many self-hosting options for workflow automation, it's peripherial/hardware support which is worst on Linux compared to MacOS or Windows,
future is in multiplatform software (which OBS and DaVinci are, and my daily workhorse Reaper DAW too), and ability to choose underlying OS platform freely
the only reason i switched back to windows is because of SketchUp and dual booting is a headache
Do you know an "easy \ linux noob friendly" alternative for voice meeter on linux?
There is a great site I used called "alternativeto" that recommends "JACK Audio Connection Kit" among others if that helpful.
Sorry for asking, but if possible, can somebody help me with a command related to GPG in Fedora?
I've updated Fedora 40 through the terminal and during the update I got curious about the GPG key being imported from the Fedora project, so I checked to make sure it was matching the key provided by them. After the successful update I wanted to know if as a user, I also have a GPG key, so I've read some forum posts and documentation and found out that I could use the command line gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format=long to list them. I expected this command to simply list the gpg key or keys via terminal, but instead, it created a folder named .gnugpg at /home/user with items including a public-keys folder and a trustdb.gpg.
My questions is: What should I do with this folder? Is it safe to keep that on my /home directory? Should I delete it, or would it cause problems? (I didn't do anything else other than using this command)
7:05 well I haven't been progtaming/modding as much on linux because dnspy doesn't work
What?! Do you know that there's specific dotnet compilers, right?!
@@MashonDev well Idon't know which ones exist other then ilspy which the ui is wack. and I use dnspy for the recompiling and swap to IL for mono mod patvhes (well I did). and yes it woulf be very nice to know alternatives to dotnet decompiling
How is VLC "dated-looking"? Is it supposed to have animated buttons and ads to look more modern?
What distro do you use?
What happend to Gnome? Are you just trying plasma out? or are you full on switching to it? I personally don't like it, the software store is too cluttered unlike the gnome software center that is way more clean. I also don't like the bar at the bottom, and I mean how it is, it reminds me of windows 11, I don't like the start menu it has. Again this is my personal opinion I just like the design of gnome, it's just more sleek modern and feels minimalist. it even has a consist feel across the desktop from the start.
Me too. I absolutely love Gnome, but for me and gaming since HDR and VRR support are still not yet, Ready is why I switched on my gaming rig, and I'm using bazzite currently I have a laptop that I run Gnome under because I like the interface better but for gaming it seems kde plasma 6 is the go to. I still prefer Gnome, but I feel like I can have a separate pc, aka laptop, for that since gesture controls are awesome on Gnome. I'm full AMD on linux, and I love the mesa drivers. But yeah kde is not for everyone.
Have used Linux since 2010. Never went back!
How are games that use battle eye launcher?
I use arch wjth nt kernel, very good for gaming
wat
I doubt it
Can old H games and old animation software like MMD work in Linux?
i cannot convert, my main MMO is not compatible due to the anti cheat. But, i keep my eye on the developments because i would like to ditch Window since they are doing stupid shit like putting ads in their OS.
Which distro are you using?
Fedora, because of Plasma 6
I'm waiting for ticktick to be natively supported on linux
also for kde or gnome to figure out a windows like way to insert emojis🤨
There is an Emoji Selector extension on Gnome.
Kde has a built in emoji selector just like windows afaik
Kde also comes with an emoji selector which you can bind to a keyboard shortcut.
As an alternative, I'm personally a fan of autokey for setting up automatic substitution (which doesn't have to just be emoji), e.g. ;thinking; is my phrase for 🤔 and ;shrug; substitutes to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think there is a hotkey on most Linux Desktop environments. There is usually an emoji picker pre-installed
@@MichaelNROH it only copies the emoji and the search is not that quick
On windows I can press the hotkey, search or pick the emoji, hit Enter and that would type the emoji right in the text box i'm in
I'm a full time professional illustrator and part-time professional musician, and I made the switch to Linux back in 2010. I cannot fathom ever using bloated, expensive, unstable, and insecure proprietary software or systems ever again. Linux has spoiled me for choice, quality, interoperability, privacy, precision, and stability, and I'm extremely thankful for everyone who has contributed to the Linux, *BSD, and FLOSS ecosystems for all their hard work and dedication. In terms of my digital life, professionally and privately, I live in a state of active, conscious freedom. I hope Linux adoption continues to spread!

0:43 what is that beautiful wallpaper? I need it, please
It's linked in the description of my last few videos I think
@@MichaelNROH Indeed! Found it in your "KDE Plasma Features You Might Not Know About" video.
For future reference, smplayer that uses mpv is a far superior alternative to VLC player.
Encoding always only after post!!! Never for recording
Rockstar Launcher started deleting ur whole drive?? u mean ur save file?
No, the whole drive.
The problem is that removing a game doesn't remove the game files but the folder and the stuff that relates to it.
Hard Links are a problem, which is what happened.
Edit: I use dedicated drives for games
Hi. I am ignorant about computers. Can I use Linux on a Dell Desktop?
Theoretically yes
Yes you can, I've installed Linux on many Dell desktops. I'm not sure about the very new ones (anything after 2019) but I've installed them on countless Optiplexes and Precisions.
What os are ou using mint?
Fedora
@@MichaelNROH thanks!
Ech. Use mpv instead of vlc.
Use Mpv instead of VLC man
The Program He Uses On Linux.
My only worry right now is Clip Studio Paint but I'm 100% switching to linux thanks to Micro$oft spyware tendencies in 2024. Better late than never I guess.
i dont know why people say you cant use adobie , all of their apps work perfectly fine on linux 🏴☠
