"Linux with Anthony" has finally begun.
they should have him have his own ltt channel about linux
This should be a regular feature indeed!
Adding my signature to Linux Tech Tips petition
I'm ok with our new Anthony and Linux overlords
I would pay for a floatplane channel for this!

Make it happen Linus, I'd gladly watch a series with that.
or just "Linux Tech Tips "
@@parttimedude5440 no?
Anthony and Linux... next channel plz
Yes, they have the Mac channel so Anthony deserves his own well.
Heck yeah.
It's funny: the thing that finally motivated me to give Linux a try was exactly the compatibility issues: I wanted a machine where I couldn't get distracted by gaming.
should've got a macbook lol
@@pigeonman942 - Yeah my laptop is a M1 Macbook. Can't do much with it besides productivity stuff, which is exactly why I wanted it. No gaming, can't even VM Windows on the M1. Thankfully it was a Black Friday deal so it was really cheap.

Dude, you're an incredible guide into the world of Linux. You found exactly what you were meant to do.
He is very good
only one comment
Following a failed Windows 10 experiment this month, I have vowed to never use Windows again (I haven’t used Windows 11 since last December).
Been using Linux on at least one of my machines for over a year now.
Agreed. Such a great job!
"Linux with Anthony"
Believe me there will be a huge increase in Linux users.
I've been contemplating abandoning Windows and pulling the trigger on PopOS, and this video gave me the confidence I needed to go through with it. I consider Anthony a credible repository of information based on everything I've seen of him in the recent past.
@@carlmclemore6104 Anthony is like Linux GOD, I aspire to be as knowledgeable and intelligent as him someday.
@@deep_panchi Linus Torvalds
@@astlari Linus is the father of Linux but Anthony be carrying the legacy fam
@@carlmclemore6104 I agree, but Pop_OS should not be the go-to distro. It has a few issues, one being that it uses Cosmic, which is forked from GNOME and is significantly slower than Plasma. Another is that I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have one-click WINE functionality. I much prefer Feren OS, which is faster than Pop_OS, and also has better functionality. You should try it out.
LTT should make a Linux channel with Anthony as the host just like their Mac channel

@@adrianbarajas2851 Brilliant!
Wait they have a Mac channel!?
The thing is, that back in 2010, Linux really couldn't (realistically) be used as a daily driver for many people. Most times using Linux required (at least) some basic understanding of terminal and the system. However, I installed Ubuntu (not my favorite) on my dad's computer (he isn't really a computer guy) over 3 years ago, after windows 10 failed to keep running. Somehow that laptop is still kicking. Only had to help him once. Sure Linux _can_ be a hassle. But not as much as one would think. I've used PopOS for over a year now and it's one of the most versatile OS's I've ran so far and surpasses my expectations as far as usability and versatility. Especially running closed source and or windows applications. Linux was a difficult choice at first, but recently has risen to be a force to be reckoned with. Especially with the money Steam has poured into its gaming functionality.
My friend has daily driven his Lubuntu for 4,5 years now without never opening his terminal. I had to do use it once for him because he messed up the updates due to being hysterically allergic for terminal&updates and servers shutdown.
My grandparents has been using Mint for 2 years now. I've got literally 0 questions why their computer doesn't work anymore. With Windows it was regular basis.
Not really. My first foray into linux was running Ubuntu on my laptop in 2010... i was 14 at the time. 10.04 lucid lynx. You didn't even need apt-get to update back then. That said, all i was doing was basic browsing and word processing... but that's all it took for me to start learning more about how to operate linux
These days, you could install ubuntu, debian, mint, or some other similar entry level distro onto a flash drive and just run it when you want to play around.
People just aren't willing to learn new things.
Linux was not GUI back then
@@Qwerkywoop my first interaction with Linux was Red Hat in 1998 and it had a fully functioning GUI out of the box.
I remember Mandrake 8.1 as my first foray into the Linux world, those were the days. Man I feel old. @@vicmac3513

Im hoping that Elon Musk buys Pine64 or another phone company that makes Linux phones to really give the big tech a shake up.
@@phishENchimps Hell Nah, I would like more resources for Linux phones, but I don't want a closed Linux distro that is basically iOS, but with Elon. Maybe some other investor?
@@LaLiTi Having the $$$ and Resources to produce a workable product is worth it. If you're afraid that he is going to create a closed IOS, then download another distro. We need a good working Linux phone that is competitive with other OS. Elon is the guy to bring that to market. Earlier this year, he said that he is not for going after patent violators (within reason). most anti-free speech advocates completely missed that.

We are one step closer to getting the "Learning Linux with Anthony" series!
If only he did video guides based on subscriber requests, I'd promptly ask for a proper guide on how to lower the TDP on a linux system with multiple Nvidia cards. I got a renderfarm PC with 3 different cards and they are hell to set up. Also Prime Offload performs kinda terrible and I'm asking myself if it's bad configuration from my part.

Never copy paste a sudo command without looking, except when it's from Anthony
@@timorouw5555 I'm Anthony, definitely. sudo rm -rfv /* --no-preserve-root
@@mirandahw who hurt you
@@mirandahw sus command
@@mirandahw explaining what it does:
sudo: runs as root (root gives all perms to the command, so if you run as root you can completely break the system accidentally)
rm: the remove command
-rf: these are 2 arguments, --force and --recursive, force removes files that have been marked as do not remove and recursive removes all files in folders, without -r you can't remove folders
-v: (--verbose) tells what files are being removed
/* deletes all files under / (the root directory)
--no-preserve-root disables not removing the root dir on some distros
you can read the manual for the commands yourself with the command "man "
It's cool to see gaming in Linux is improving. I started using Linux back when the first thing you had to do was recompile the kernel before you could get a GUI working... It really wasn't that hard even then. That was like 20 years ago and things have gotten easier every year since. Back then it was KDE and QT as I remember. My first Linux box I configured as an IPChains firewall for my home network - that took a bit of work. :)

Damn, KDE existed 20 years ago? I`ve been using Kde Neon for some months and it is really nice!

Thank you for letting Anthony loose. Next do vim!
Upcoming: "Anthony and Jeff build the ULTIMATE 400 Raspberry Pi Cluster"
I would watch that, but it will sadly never happen
Next video "How to become Vim /G/od"
@SomeRandomGuy I do adore emacs and use it everyday. But the fight between vi/vim and emacs is like getting two old men to fight each other
vim FTW
ahahahahah
Anthony I was just watching this out of curiosity and that nvfbc patch is what I've been looking for for months. Thanks man!
Four days ago my laptops' HDD broke, luckily I had my old HDD from my PS4. I used to run Win10 on the laptop but I HATED it, so I wanted to go back to Win7 as I like it more. But then I realised I'd to go to sketchy websites to download cracked version of Win7 etc etc etc. I remember my uncle (he introduced me to RPi's as well) mentioned something about Linux OSs, so I followed this tutorial and installed POP just to try it out. So far its a lot like the RPI OS so I am already comfortable with it. I'll most likely move on to the advanced Linux OSs, but we'll see.
Thanks for the video!
when linus give out tech tips instead of showing things you cant buy
lmao
you must be mistaken, linus is nowhere to be seen
Well, they're giving us tech tips on what we cant't buy xd.
Can't buy most Linux distros either because they are free to use.
A Linux playlist starring Anthony would definitely be really well received here, and I think, could contribute to a better understanding of it's working in general by a significant number of people!
Seconding this.
Yeah, Linux tutorials by Anthony would be great
Agree
Absolutely. They need to have Anthony cover ElementaryOS.
a chanel would be better
It's been almost a year since I ditched Windows 11 on 3 laptops I inherited, and switched to Linux. I have been distro hopping, and Debian 12 with Gnome 43.3 is my perfect fit. The best tool for anyone is the tool they use, not the tool they dread. I thank you for your videos which have been HUGE in helping me with that transition to Linux.
I have been using Linux for about a year now, and I am loving it! All thanks to you guys!
I am currently in the process of gradually transitioning my operating systems with an ultimate goal of (hopefully) transitioning to only Linux-based operating systems.
We need more of Anthony's Linux tech tips.
Anthony's Linux Tips
@@jamesdalton1386 yeah, totally agree!
It is refreshing to see someone who knows things about computers.
I'm already very comfortable installing Linux, but yes, I will listen to Anthony teach me how for 15 minutes. Thank you CZcams.
Same, but I had forgotten about secure boot 😂. Got that shitty message.
Same here XD. Gotta watch so that they can make more of this stuff.
Same, here. Although good to here how good steam is getting. I may try it again for game what where windows only.
Outstanding presentation! Simple, with great perspective. Thank you.
Anthony is single handedly going to materially improve Linux' adoption rate on the desktop.
Actually. no, after 30 something years what would have done that, is the devs without a stick up their ass, and also gaming. at a marginal 3%adoption. just no. no year is the year of the linux desktop because of gaming and Janky AF UI and UX.
I work in corp world. Server wise definitely it is up there.. even with VMware a large % of vm’s run it and kuberneties and containers are big. Desktop games meh..I have both Linux Mac and windows systems. A GUI is a GUI. Gameing has majorly improved in years. But if your looking for a long term Career in IT learn it now!! It got me a job where I am now. I have been here for 15 years a Linux user for 21+ years.
@@gorkskoal9315
It's code and app exclusivity that really kills the platform. Even with Proton, Linux is still flawed as a daily driver for gaming, due to the fact that there's still far too many compatibility and performance issues.
Anthony is vastly overstating Proton's effectiveness, he hasn't talked about the biggest problem Proton faces: In the age of on demand patching and games as a service models, every single update has the potential to completely break a game's compatibility with Proton, and as a result Linux users are frequently stuck waiting to play games they own, as Proton/Wine developers forever play a game of compatibility catchup.
...Of course, the problem isn't just gaming, either, you're even more out of luck if you use Adobe products, or need music production applications, or your job wants Microsoft office apps, etc, etc.
More than anything the blame rests on Microsoft and the US Government. The extremist right wing market fundies that people keep electing into government refuse to do anything about monopolies and trusts, we'd be living in a completely different world right now had they gone through with the plan to break up Microsoft around the year 2000, and forced them to open source their APIs.
@@ItsTimeToBreakUpGoogle Yes. Yes. Yes!! Several years ago I used daily. But getting a app work required for trouble tickets and voicemail was a nightmare and luck.
@@gorkskoal9315 That couldn't be _falsier_. I play everyday on Linux without any janky shit. It even runs smoother than on my brothers Windows machine. The fact that desktop linux adoption isn't good is because of corporate lobbying made by M$. What Anthony said is true, Linux isn't hard at all to install, but *not* installing anything is easier.
Thanks for the shoutout! +1 to a dedicated "Linux with Anthony" show. 10000% agree.

Please do this.
oh Anthony ilu, ur such a sweetheart explaining all this linux setup in the most accessible way I've seen in video format.
and i agree! more ppl should at least give it a try!
I used this video to put Pop os on three laptops already. I’ve started introducing it to other people in my friends and family circle. This video is super helpful and I love it.

@@adamd1347 the terminal its only necesary on specific things. Many things you could do it on the store. I like to use the terminal because its more fast. And i like to use synaptic so much. But somebody who wants give a try without use the terminal could do it. With nvidia drivers maybe its a little hard. It better to use a old laptop or pc and try it. Later you could use it on a better pc it you like it.

Excellent video Anthony! Heading inside to clear a drive right now and follow your instructions. This is going to be AWESOME!
The demand for Linux Tech Tips can’t be ignored any longer! We want Anthony to teach the world how to use the terminal in his clear and charismatic manner.
I don't like how everyone are just so scared of the terminal. People just aren't used to it. It's strange how much windows users have been discussed about how they have to not use the GUI.
@@radoslavl921 if you don’t like it help us change. I’m terrified of screwing something up. But I’m not afraid to learn from someone who knows what they are doing
@@BeyondThisAfterlife I use the terminal everyday, but I don't think I know what I am doing. I just keep trying something, I fail and I start again in another direction. It's like every computer is against me. I when I want to achieve something it does not happen. There is always an error message saying something like "error compiling software: at getline(): error compiling source. getline function interfering with stdio.h". The strange thing is that I am not even making this software. I am trying to build them from source and it fails. It always fails. Today I was trying to download OBS Studio, but cmake was giving me dependency errors and I have no idea where do download everything from.
@@radoslavl921 If you build from source a lot try Manjaro (or Endeavour or Garuda). AUR scripts take care of everything.
@@BeyondThisAfterlife If you are not sure and do not want to break anything, install VirtualBox then spin up a VM do what you want and blow it away after.
“Congratulations it’s a penguin” - put a smile on my face :)
Best line in the script 😆
There's no issue with trying new distros as well! If you're liking Linux and want to try some new things, there's nothing wrong with throwing together a VM and tossing a Linux image into it. While it won't perform the same as bare-metal, you can get a general idea for how the distro works and looks.
Likewise, there's nothing wrong about sticking with a distro you love. However, if you want to be adventurous I'd recommend checking out more distros outside the comfort zone of Debian-based. Manjaro was a great dive into Arch-based, and Garuda Linux has been pretty fun as well. (Garuda is an "as-is" distro though, so make sure you grab the right Desktop Environment before you install!)
Anthony is very funny and straightforward. Thanks to this video, I'm now running on Linux.
Also, it would amazing a tutorial on how to make your camera work as a webcam for streaming videos. I've tried using Gphoto2, but I've got some errors and I can't understand how to overcome them.

@JacksonChen666 Good, because they should be in the SteamOS 3.0 forum instead.
converted to linux a few years ago and steam has made it nearly idiot proof with proton.
Technically not. It's because if you are making something idiot-proof, you are also inadvertently making it smart-proof. "User-friendly" is a better term.
"Proton", because Electron was taken.

Anthony IS the Linux god of the channel
anthony has a chill personality def want more vids of him being featured.
using live usbs is also a great way to know if the distro is a good fit for you. Since most Linux distros are open and free, when you boot up from the usb, it boots up the distro, in the same way it'd boot up when installed to your ssd/sdd. In other words, you don't have to install a distro to your HDD or SSD in order to be able to test it. Although you have limited space to install stuff (since it will be installed to your usb drive, not the hdd/sdd), you can still do most of what you'd do on your desktop.
Man this video was really usefull and it convinced me to change to Pop s. Thaks Anthony
A "Linux with Anthony" sub-channel is definitely needed!!

@@hwfq34fajw9foiffawdiufhuaiwfhw I don't think you get it, most of us already used the techniques in the video... it's just that much more interesting with Anthony explaining something we already know
Same here 😂
anthony always interesting lol
Thanks Anthony! That was really helpful. I ended up doing a dual boot of Pop on my Predator Helios 300 from 2018. Works great so far. It took a while, since I had to first get windows 10 and 11 working (I was in the insider version developers, and I wanted out of the unstable relationship). This setup is awesome because since my main storage partition is NTFS Pop just lets me use it as another folder. Pretty cool. so I have 300gb dedicated to Pop, and about 600 shared between them and my windows build on my SSD.
This may change though. I'm seriously thinking of ditching windows in favor of Pop... at least... on my SSD. There are still some apps I need on windows, but GIMP does a pretty good job of photo editing small things.
Thanks again!
@D Reaper probably can replace raster, but I have a non-adobe favorite, the Affinity family design suite. It's a fully integrated workspace between raster, vector, and publisher/composer apps. I'm pretty sure they don't have a linux offering, but I can hope. Haven't gotten that far yet.
I used to use GIMP way back in the day. I like it, but it doesn't have a nice smooth digital pad experience last time I tried it out. Not very nice for digital painting or sketching, but a nice workflow for image manipulation.
THANK YOU!
Ever since Windows 8.0 I have been wanting to build a Linux workstation. This tutorial made it so easy, that I have finally done it.
QUICK TIP as this was not mentioned. Using the demo mode (flashed to an external hard drive) you can retrieve files off other drives if windows decides to crap itself (as long as they aren't corrupt as well). I've also had success recovering files off of a dying drive that wouldn't even show in windows with this method, albeit not more than around 100mb at a time so films and large files didn't make it.
wait. WAIT. im gonna have to try this.
I've recovered also when using Linux (haven't tried it in demo mode), SD cards that wouldn't work on Windows. They were definitely failing. Was able to get off most of my things. Just had to sift out the corrupted files once recovered. Though sometimes the card may be too far gone even for this to work. But it is better than loosing it all. Used this method more than once.
@@snowysysadmin59 I have a cheap 1TB flash drive with Ubuntu flashed to it as an OS installer, this means I can just lauch the demo version (have to select the ubuntu installer drive in bios) and grab the files that are most important if shit hits the fan. The beauty is you can still create folders and write data on the empty space of the flash drive without having to actually install Ubuntu or most Linux OS. Like I said though if ALL the files are corrupt or a drive has completely failed this won't work, but it's definitely my goto for suspect HD issues.
If I can't recover it Windows, I always try in Linux, and about 90 percent of the time, I can get a good chunk of data. That being said be careful with certain distros and their live modes, because not all of them fully support NTFS (or HFS+/APFS) out of the box and need a helper program.
Im thankful our tech teacher in high school 20 yrs ago taught us this when teaching computer programming. Lived in midde of nowhere middle of rural area.
Since then its saved my family business many times (tHaNkS windows).
Just give a linux oriented channel to Anthony. He deserves it.
I was thinking along the same lines as a good part of this community are power users or want to become power users. But speaking as Linux user myself, will a Linux focused channel bring enough revenue to be justifiable to LTT? That will be a tough one to sell, given Anthony's popularity it might fly, maybe
Yes, he should make a Linux channel just like they made one for Apple called Mac Address.
@@eduardogonzales6945 they made a Mac focused channel while most things they build are gaming pc
Linux would make even more sense than mac OS imo
LinuxTechTips
Yes
I installed the KDE version of Ubuntu. I don't tend to play games, but use it for CAD, 3d printing and laser cutting/engraving. My software list is: Inkscape, FreeCAD, MeerK40t. I also run office as a PWA as well as Outlook. Everything works fine. It is so much better now than it was 20 years back when you had to type 'startx' just to get a GUI rather than it being all text.

It’s just he is very important to the company and by him focusing on that channel he would not be able to work on the main channel. So to put it in another way they would have to hire a new guy to do a Linux channel like with Max Address.
Also Linux is not popular enough to be worth it to make yet another channel.

This was such a well made video. Great job!
Love you, Anthony! Thank you for this video, it helped me before, and will help again! :D
And when you thought you couldn´t love Anthony more, here he comes.
Anthony's Linux series when?
- tutorials on how to use and install common or tricky software for linux plz
- or how to make it like a more efficent/faster windows like user experience
I think something like that would be nice, minus the "make it more like windows" aspect. Linux is to Windows as Windows is to MacOS; a different operating system. If it tries to adapt to the needs of Windows users, it might end up becoming just as bad in the future.
It's important to make things clear to new users, but not to change the OS for them.
@@Denshi maybe it could be a sub series for those looking to transition but need to justify the steps or whatever. Idk
ArchWiki. Best source of knowledge bar none.
Unfortunately, Joel Spolsky is quite right in Biculturalism: Linux is built for tinkerers and developers, not your regular end users expecting products they pay for (such as hardware) to *just work*. Ironically, desktop Linux is still too expensive to afford in many scenarios.
It still struggles hard to find the balance between LTS (typically lagging behind a lot on drivers) and rolling release (basically impossible for developers to target in all the variety of configurations).
Linux is faster in general. At least the Arch-Linux version. My BMW benchmark in Blender runs for 2 minutes 54 seconds on Windows, on Linux it only takes me 2 minutes and 18 seconds.
If you mean more efficient as in having the same desktop environment as Windows then I would recommend getting the Cinnamon environment, it makes almost any Ubuntu based distribution look like Windows.
if you try to install the nvfbc it's important when you install the obs plugin to write "plugins" all small letters
Thanks Anthony checking out Etcher tonight.

"Linux with Anthony"
just helping the cause, i wanna learn linux stuff to feel smarter too
If you have enough time and want to learn, try to install Arch or Gentoo, okey not Gentoo that's too hardcore. But Arch is just fine for learning.
@@thefossenjoyer3346 I will install arch after using pop os for a while 😁
@@agentj1074 nice.
@@thefossenjoyer3346 btw do u know if vegas pro 17 runs on linux or not?
I edit amvs so i need that
Okay, I like this idea.
I just installed Pop!_OS on my backup PC which is much older and weaker than my main rig, and there was definitely a huge difference in performance from Windows 10, since it doesn’t have all of that ads, bloat, nor any resource hogging that makes everything so crap and slow. It’s also way cleaner and aesthetic.
I prob wouldn’t have installed Linux if Anthony wasn’t there to convince me to, really like how chill and convincing he is.
EDIT: Now I'm using Linux on my main PC! Tried Linux Mint, but didn't live up to what I loved about Pop!_OS. Really loving and enjoying Pop!_OS, even with gaming! Huge thanks to Anthony for being the man to tell us about it!
What did you not like about mint? I'd like to switch from windows to linux and I wasn't sure about what distro to choose. Mint, pop os..
@@Maku98_ Well, Linux distros are completely up to personal preference, so I recommend trying distros before you switch to them. I personally preferred Pop over Mint for how it easy it was to install drivers and updates through user interface, and gaming performance.
Both distros are great though. Don't let other peoples' opinions change you. Plus if Linux doesn't turn out to be right for you, you can use a debloated version of Windows 10 like AtlasOS.
are you still running linux on your main computer?
@@throwpikmin heya, forgot I made this comment but to answer the question: nope, not anymore.
I stopped using linux a long time ago, just didn't really turn out to be completely right for me. dont let that change if you want to use linux or not, everyone has different preferences.
I went back to windows (even on my backup pc) mostly because of familiarity and how it "just works right out of the box" (as long as you're using something like AtlasOS, which is just windows perfected and done right. windows 11 can actually be awesome to use if you're using Atlas to speed up performance and explorerpatcher / startallback to fix up the UI)
@@TerminaKris i dont blame you sorry for randomly popping up here :P that's fair though I've been using windows 11 and im not a big fan of all the integrated ai stuff Microsoft is adding.. i really liked windows 10 so i might just go back to it until end of life but im not sure
I used an ancient laptop running Ubuntu throughout my entire CS bachelor and installed Pop! on my first PC build about 2 years ago, which I frequently game on, and I have never regretted it!
Man, I love how Anthony explains everything. And not only that, but also that they did a step by step guide for absolutely new users for Linux. Big respect for that!
He's great at this, he needs to become an IT/computer science lecturer.
Its also great how he explains eventual problems / difficulties, even if he didn't had them in this example. This is something often overseen.
Legit his explinations are so to the point they are the easiest to follow ive seen
we need more of these linux videos
yes, make it more popular, 2021 is the year of the Linux desktop.
@JimR >no autohide
that is the one thing that pisses me off the most about winblows, the fucking autohide never works right since 95.
it either gets stuck hidden or it gets stuck un hidden which ever the most inconvenient for me at the time
Agreed please make Linux more palatable for the masses. The more folks who use it, the more support we get.
Linux is never coming, because too many arsehats making too many different distros. Yum, rpm, apt-get, Gnome, KDE, and now MATE, Cinnamon, Budgie. And they even put the junk in different /bin/local/ or /usr/bin or /usr/local. One thing Microsoft got right is that people need a big evil giant to oppress us, so developers have a consistent platform. Doesn't matter how dreadful it is, as long as it stays the same week to week.
True. Many people like me sometimes try but get frustrated because they can't get anything done. Ubuntu has been laying on my other laptop for so long and I don't use it. Simply because I don't know. Guided like this would help a lot
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you, Anthony!
Great video, very clear and precise.
Omg. It's finally here! It's been 84 years since we've been asking for this. Please continue doing linux content, Anthony!
Even CZcams isn't that old. Touch some grass lmao
@@ShivamJha00 lol, telling someone to touch grass because of a humorous exaggeration. Maybe you should touch grass lol.

shut up
just adding my voice to the chorus of "more anthony and linux!"
"Faster and easier if you know what you're doing" that last part of the sentence is the operative phrase; "...if you know what you're doing" is the hard bit for those with no or very limited training/education around software, especially from the propietary user world. Great explanations that are definitely worth investigating, Im actively avoiding Windoze 11 and further uploads from the MS control freaks. Thanks!
My Linux OS of choice has been Lubuntu for the past twelve years. I love how its low system requirements make it easy to run on older hardware. My two previous laptops were replaced ONLY because of hardware failure instead of software obsolescence.
Ive used Gnome Shell on my 2008 Sony VAIO lap top for a decade now :)
Lubuntu is chill, but way too lightweight for my liking
Anthony is like a mormon knocking on your door to talk to you about our lord and savior linus Torvalds, and I love it

I'm pretty sure Anthony daily drives a Macbook, so it's really disingenuous to label him the Linux man
@@LzysGraphics Anthony is the kind of guy that pentaboots PopOS, Windows, Hackintosh, FreeBSD, and LinuxFromScratch.
@@ethanbroussard And Terry A. Davis
a new channel entirely dedicated to Anthony teaching Linux is something I'd throw money at.
When I first started using Linux I didn't make that many mistakes. Reason being that I had more than one community of people to help me, and several websites I could go to where I can get help. My number one favorite Linux distribution was Black Lab Linux Lxde. Unfortunately that distribution is discontinued. I was extremely impressed with Manjaro Lxde, and Ghost BSD Mate, and Bodhi Linux Moksha. I don't think I can ever have as much fun with Windows as what I do with Linux. You would be surprised how many games are in the repository that are actually worth playing! For example Minetest, 0ad, FreedroidRPG and JAG.
This is exactly what I need to know if I'm immigrating to Linux.
Being a former _Freegeek Chicago_ volunteer, I have a soft spot for *_Linux Mint,_* having installed it on our builds. That's the one I'll likely switch to (if not Pop_OS! or Ubuntu Studio) if and when I'm... _"persuaded"_ to upgrade to Windows 11.

I've tried using Linux twice now.
Once back in the day (probably around 2003 or so) when I installed Redhat Linux on an old pentium.
And once more recently when I installed Ubuntu as a dual boot alongside Windows 7.
For my first attempt with Redhat Linux, I couldn't figure out how to install any programs (for some reason I kept thinking you had to install them through the terminal, and I thought it was crazy)... I remember even having difficulty figuring out how to connect to the internet with it. We did have broadband at this point, but it just never wanted to cooperate for some reason. I eventually gave up and just went back to using Windows XP, but I do think my brother got everything working on it, since I do recall him playing some Tux Racer.
My second attempt was with Ubuntu (around 2011 or so) and it was super simple to get installed and running, and connecting to the internet was really straightforward as well. Also, since I was in my mid-20s at this point (instead of age 14 or 15 in 2003), I finally was able to understand how installing programs worked, too, using the app installer. The only thing is, I felt like the app installer was far too limited, and installing any package downloaded from a browser was too complicated, and forced me to use the terminal, which is just something I will never feel comfortable with using... so I again just kind of stopped using it and went back to Windows 7 (I did leave Unbuntu installed with that partition being virtually unused for a good 5 years or so, though).
In the end, I just don't think Linux is for me. It seems like a great platform for people who feel comfortable with programming languages and have no trouble just writing code in order to install things, but I don't think I'll ever be that person. Linux trades ease-of-use for customizability, and so I can definitely see why so many people love it... if you can understand it, then it's such a powerful OS that lets you do so much, but Windows also allows you to do much of the same, and lets you do it more easily (most of the time). In any case, at least neither of them are the closed-up super-limited system of Mac OS.
LTT You guys awesome. I would love to see an update on one of your Linux videos (Trying to do Simple Tasks on Linux lol - Daily Driver Challenge Pt.3) including Steam OS and/or your recommendations on Linux distros. I feel it would be a huge impact on people such as myself that has always wanted to completely shift to linux and gaming has been the only reason to stop me. Let's make Linux the gaming go to OS.
Now this truly is Linux Tech Tips
Except better, because it's with Anthony.

As the release manager of NixOS, I've never been so insulted by being labeled hardmode.
But yes, you're correct :)
Yeah, I 💕 NixOS but I can't really *recommend* it unless someone says they're already using Linux but want more control :p
He’s promoting pop and it’s built in NVIDIA driver which doesn’t work as of like 65 in early May with DisplayPort.
"Never have I been so insulted at something I one hundred percent agree with."
There's nixos-hardware, where people may have uploaded fixes for particular devices. Usually the difficult is knowing what to do for a given device.
I would say that NixOS has had some of the best Nvidia experience, as drivers are compiled and added prior to switching to your new system generation.
And in contrast with arch, it's the hard mode, that does not have a great wiki yet... ^^
One of my favourite videos on this channel.
And also Pop OS rockzzzzzz !!!
Why am i watching this? I am currently running Arch and there is nothing to gain from this for me except of course Anthonys great personality.
High five from a veteran Linux user! I liked that last part the most when Anthony said that "at least give it a try". That's the right way to pitch Linux without being preachy. Kudos!
Thank you for your comment. At the expense of not using windows I'm going to install linux on my fresh new pc build. But I love playing in the command prompt. I've been changing every setting on my phone and pulling and pushing files using adb. Lots of fun getting into the inner-workings.
@@nevinkuser9892 Way to go! 🙌
True legends use Temple OS
@@Rainaman- Nope. Real Legends use AmogOS.
@@easternplatypus I will not even fact check and assume it's a thing.
I'd love to see benchmarks with Proton on a variety of hardware from high-end GPUs to APUs. It'd be very helpful to know if there's a performance hit compared to Windows, and if there is, how significant it is.
Checkout Gear Seekers they often do linux benchmarks with GPUs
I've seen LTT do a couple on previous gaming on Linux videos and showed that some games run better in Linux than they do in Windows.
It would be really cool if LTT started including those metrics with there other stats. It would be so helpful
My overwatch installation is far faster on pop than windows on my machine (I dual boot)
in my experience games usually run around 10-30 frames faster on linux (I use Ubuntu), then again I'm using a gtx 970, but still.
I have had two Windows 11 devices so far.
1: My personal desktop that I finished building a month ago.
In this case, Windows 11 told me that I NEEDED to have internet to setup windows 11. The issue? I had no drivers installed so I physically couldn't have internet, AND I couldn't install the drivers because windows 11 wouldn't finish setup without Internet. After a few hours of online searching, it turns out there actually is a "continue without internet" button, but it is so cryptically hidden it beggars belief (Hint, you need command prompt). If that new build was my only way of getting online to find the solution, I would never in a million years figured that out.
2: My Work issued laptop.
My work Issued me this laptop with windows 11 mostly set up, but I needed to finish the set up. Overall it went pretty smooth until all my files downloaded from the cloud and I now had more Icons than could fit on my screen. I legitimately had Icons covering icons covering icons on my desktop (I like minimalist desktops, but for work, quick access to information via shortcuts is crucial) No, the issue wasn't that I had too many Icons (normally the desktop wasn't even half full), the issue was the spacing between the icons was now 3X the size of the icon itself. Now, I cannot stress this enough, it. took. me. HOURS. of fiddling with every setting windows 11 offers, deinstalling and reinstalling any and all drivers, and delving into the deep recesses of my mind to try and figure out how to set the icons back to an acceptable spacing. Finally I found one answer online that worked. Regedit. !#%#ING REGEDIT. I had to make a REGISTRY EDIT to fix my icons. Apparently there is an icon spacing setting in the registry where you can set the spacing of icons. I edited that value to be 1/3 of what it was before, rebooted windows and BOOM, fixed. Why in fiery hell that couldn't have been some kind of option is so far and away beyond me that it is unfathomable.
Every. single. thing. on this OS is just harder for entirely no reason. It continuously fails at tasks that were once simple because some setting was removed, or some design was "Simplified" and gives you no easy solution to its self imposed problem.
I just learned today that Steam now allows you run Windows games on Linux. That was my last reason to stay on windows.
Just stopping by to say youre awesome Anthony!
fuck it, this is the push I needed.

@@tylerdean980 uhm let them start with pop rn maybe later lol
Once you get used to it you wouldn't want to go back lol

Best of both worlds: dual-boot
@@tylerdean980 It's better to start with Pop OS after watching this video. In like 3 months try Mint if you want, I've been pretty much running Mint for the last 3 years. Its the most ideal for me, once you get disro-hopping out of your system.
I wouldn't use pop OS but it isn't bad I suppose.
