PS : people on Linux Mint who have a problem in selecting edg ring or selecting edge loop with ALT +left mouse click it's very simple just go to Menu >> system settings >> Windows >> Behavior down in Behavior find Special key to move and resize windows by default it's on ALT turn it Disabled and boom blender works just fine now with ALT.
@@RyanKingArt I will test Linux for the first time tomorow but theres one question, in linux mint you also have the file preview like in windows, like seeing whats inside the blend file witouth opening it?
@@hugoantunesartwithblender Most of the time it does. For some reason it doesn't do it all of the time. Maybe depending on if its an older version of Blender, or possibly it would depend on what layout you are in when you last saved the Blend file. But yes, It does show a preview of the Blender file most of the time.
Followed step by step and it worked! Thank you for this very detailed tutorial for Linux newbies! Usually I install programs in Linux Mint using its Software Manager, but the version which it installing doesn't work on my computer. Had to download 2.83 LTS version archive and installed it as you showed here and everything works great now.
Thank you! This is great! More and more software for Linux is using executables, which is cool (no install), and AppImages. However, I still want to be able to see all my software listed in and accessible from the menu list with the appropriate icon. SUBSCRIBED
this is not installation just add a shortcut to the menu,it is a big difference, installation means copying files to the correct folders in the operating system hierarchy,for the purpose of recognizing your .blend files automatically,icon, etc ....
Yes, I understand that this is not a true installation, but this is the easiest and best way that I have found how to install it. It is also easy for people who don't know how to use the Linux Terminal very well, and use other technical Linux stuff, like me. So I just wanted to share this method with others to help them out. There are other methods that work too though, I just like this one.
yes I agree with you 100%, what I was trying to say is that the title implies something else. For example I clicked on the video because I thought it showed an installation method outside the terminal or app store.
Hmm, no I don't know why that is. Unless your object just has way to much detail and is lagging blender. Also, make sure you apply any modifiers, like mirror, or subsurf, before going into sculpt mode.
Thank you so much!! This worked for me on Blender 2.93.5 I really appreciate this tutorial. I'm new to Linux and this helped me so much and encouraged me not give up on Linux. =D
@@cb4675 Yes, I do recommend Linux. And I have all of those programs you just mentioned installed on my computer. Also, Blender actually runs faster, and even renders faster on Linux, which is really cool.
@@RyanKingArt there's another way to get bender,and the latest You install steam (linux version) And then you can install steam apps And blender is also obviously a steam app so you just press the download button,simple as that There are more steps on downloading steam(linux version of steam) so people can just search that up
Hello, I have bought a new HP pc (with RTX GPU & Ryzen) without an OS. Should I go with this rather than Windows? I will use the pc for blender, davinci, krita.. Many thanks
Hello. I use Linux Mint, so I do recommend it. It works great with Krita and Blender. I haven't used Davinci, But I'm pretty sure it works on Linux. Also, Blender actually renders faster on Linux then on windows, so that is really cool. 🙂
I use Linux Mint Cinnamon, and the GPU I have is the RTX 2080 Super. And Yes, I can render with both the CUDA and Optix options in Blender's preferences. Nvidia has driver support for there GPU's with Linux.
I'm pretty sure you can. Because Linux is just the operating System. As long as Blender will Run, you should be able to use Any Blender Addon. and It should work. I don't know for certain, but I'm very sure. I've never had any issues with Addons and Linux.
@@RyanKingArt That's unfortunate Because my computer seems to do this with a lot of the programs I have downloaded which the only things I've downloaded was VLC Blender and the DOOM Engine
@@Wendy3Dimensional Yes there is. When you open up the new Blender version for the first time, there is a button on the splash screen that says: Keep 2.93 settings. Or whatever version you were previously using. And I'm pretty sure the other Blender version remembers your old settings, so I think there is a way to copy the settings over, even if I didn't click that button.
I know you know your stuff, but you are doing it way too fast. I had to rewind the video 15 times. How about you do it much slower next time so the freshman doesn't have to struggle?

Saved me after I spent 8 hours on a project and decided to switch to Linux thank you
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy using Linux! 😀 👍
Thank you.

Thank you!! I didn't know you could edit menu items like this!

I also install Krita using this same method.
Thank you so much I spent so long trying to do this
Hope the video helped!
@@RyanKingArt Yes it really did. I now have used the same method for quite a few other programs now.

My Blender always freezes after trying to enter "Sculpting" or any other option. Anyone know a fix for this?
Hmm, no I don't know why that is. Unless your object just has way to much detail and is lagging blender. Also, make sure you apply any modifiers, like mirror, or subsurf, before going into sculpt mode.
3.5! Thanks Ryan!!
Ahh yes! I still use this method when I'm updating Blender. 👍
Cara, muito obrigado. Consegui colocar o Blender na minha área de trabalho.
Thank you!
Hi can you suggest the best linux version available to install the blender
Great. Short. Thank you.
Welcome!
Thank you!!! ;DD
You are welcome!
I lost it when magicly that file " Trainer low poly blend" appeared no idea where that came from
Where would you suggest to put the extracted Blender folder? In the tutorial you left it on the desktop but is there a better place? Thanks!
I don't think it really matters. You could put it in your home folder. Or just on the desktop.
Thank you so much!! This worked for me on Blender 2.93.5
I really appreciate this tutorial. I'm new to Linux and this helped me so much and encouraged me not give up on Linux. =D

Hello do you recommend it over windows? Is it also compatible with chrome, Firefox, krita, Inkscape...
@@cb4675 Yes, I do recommend Linux. And I have all of those programs you just mentioned installed on my computer. Also, Blender actually runs faster, and even renders faster on Linux, which is really cool.
@@RyanKingArt Many thanks Ryan. Your approval is important :)
Does this work on linux beta?
I have no Idea. I have not used Linux beta before.
@@RyanKingArt there's another way to get bender,and the latest
You install steam (linux version)
And then you can install steam apps
And blender is also obviously a steam app so you just press the download button,simple as that
There are more steps on downloading steam(linux version of steam) so people can just search that up
@@MrNobody-uc1ik Yeah, that works too.

@@RyanKingArt Thank you again. Currently trying to install it :) Will I need an antivirus software as on Windows?
@@cb4675 Hmm.. I don't use any antivirus software. You could look that up online, but I don't think you need any.
after installing ,can i delete that folder ,will it affect the installed blender
Yeah, it won't work if you delete the folder. So you will need to keep it somewhere on your computer.
@@RyanKingArt 😅😅
my stupid question.

a graphics card and driver with support for opengl 3.3 or higher is required blender in linux
help mine isn't opening =(
is linux mint xfce also support blender cuda or optix??
I use Linux Mint Cinnamon, and the GPU I have is the RTX 2080 Super. And Yes, I can render with both the CUDA and Optix options in Blender's preferences. Nvidia has driver support for there GPU's with Linux.
@@RyanKingArt thanks. I Just tried 10 minutes ago. Xfce is light so I was wondering how the blender will work. But it's working great with cuda.
Thanks a Lot !

Can You use all the addons from blender market on linux?
I'm pretty sure you can. Because Linux is just the operating System. As long as Blender will Run, you should be able to use Any Blender Addon. and It should work. I don't know for certain, but I'm very sure. I've never had any issues with Addons and Linux.
Also, the Developers who make Blender use Linux, so they created Blender to work well on Linux.
@@RyanKingArt thanks.
@@pd5156 no problem!
This tutorial was helpful but what do I do if Blender the program itself refuses to open?
I have no idea. Sorry. I have not had that problem before.
@@RyanKingArt That's unfortunate Because my computer seems to do this with a lot of the programs I have downloaded which the only things I've downloaded was VLC Blender and the DOOM Engine
@@SatanicStoic how did you download it as, .Deb or as Appimage?
I don't recall the details but I just got a new and different computer and it works just fine now
thanks !
Welcome!
Will this work on Blender 3.0?
Yes it will.
@@RyanKingArt When I did this for 3.0 I had to redo all my settings and add ons. Is there a way to update Blender where is keeps all your settings?
@@Wendy3Dimensional Yes there is. When you open up the new Blender version for the first time, there is a button on the splash screen that says: Keep 2.93 settings. Or whatever version you were previously using. And I'm pretty sure the other Blender version remembers your old settings, so I think there is a way to copy the settings over, even if I didn't click that button.
This video might help you:

Or you can lookup online how to do it with your operating system.
@@RyanKingArt Cool! Thanks! =)
Blender is also available in the "Software Manager" app store ...
Yes, but its an older outdated version of Blender. So I don't install it from the software manager.
J cant make exstraction
Great tutorial, but could you go a little slower?
Sorry. thanks for the feedback.
@@RyanKingArt No worries. It was really helpful!
Naaaiiiceeee
Thanks!
open gl poblem linux
Sorry.
I know you know your stuff, but you are doing it way too fast.

How about you do it much slower next time so the freshman doesn't have to struggle?
Sorry about that. You can slow down the video in the youtube settings.
