Great video. So glad to see you going back to your roots in your videos. These educational videos are why I started subscribing to your channel. Keep up the good work.
@Hogedu AAA Have you tried it on Fedora though? CentOS doesn't really have the latest open source technologies, it's kind of a Debian Stable of Red Hat world
@Hogedu AAA That also boggles my mind. I'd say it'd be more suited for touch screen devices, but eh. The world of GNU is full of mysteries. But still, I'm running a Snap-less Ubuntu on my system, and I have no complaints. Huge plus is an official Nvidia driver support. I kinda grew sick and tired of PPAs breaking some parts of my distro
@Hogedu AAA Oh, I even went the Gentoo route once. But since I'm using my PC just for shits and giggles and have a separate full time job, I don't want to build myself a ticking time bomb. So that's why I went with Ubuntu
Linux is better with a CLI than a GUI. I myself use Arch and it comes with a CLI (Bash) as the default user interface and to be honest with you, I love it. I didn't install a DE. If I need to run X applications, just starting them with xinit or nvidia-xrun (requires a Nvidia card), image scaling them with Openbox if needed, but still I don't use Openbox as my default user interface (just run it if I need it).
that must be hard... I also use Arch but with KDE. How do you browse the web? w3m? Because if you use a gui web browser you'll pretty much have to have openbox running all the time
altermetax, I launch a X application like Chromium or Firefox, with xinit or nvidia-xrun from the console: xinit /usr/bin/firefox (or chromium) $* -- :1 (or 0 for the current display) If you have Nvidia card, launch it with nvidia-xrun: nvidia-xrun firefox (nvidia-xrun must be installed with yay as it's an AUR package)
@@Synthentic It's hard to understand why anyone would dislike a company that repeatedly builds flawed products and then claims that only a very small percentage of users have any issues. And then they try to make it impossible to repair said products by having parts confiscated at customs, and by making schematics as hard as possible to find.
As primarily a coder love zsh, ohmyzsh and the spaceship theme, you never need to leave the terminal. :D And your also saying I SHOULDN'T put everyone on bspwm...? ill be right back... ;)
Hi Eli, I need your help in understanding how to configure windows 2012 LDAP over TLS to support user certificate based authentication instead of username/password. Can you please provide some help on the same.
Can't believe you've been on CZcams for a decade Eli. XFCE can be nice looking, and your just looking at the 'core' install. I dont think its fair to say a desktop environment is ugly , and only show the default interface . Linux being a monolithic kernel and not an operating system in the traditional sense makes it very flexible. Where Windows will just tell you no sometimes and smack your hand, linux will let you throw your whole file system into a dark void as long as you have Root lol. Peppermint uses XFCE and it looks modern , while retaining the feel of familiar windows systems, although similar cinnamon is more elegant. KDE I feel defeats the purpose of running gnu/linux why smother a distro with a heavy desktop like that , unless you cant survive without every bell and whistle. Also KDE has a vulnerability released a week ago within the Dolphin file manager, just some friendly information. It probably wont turn into anything , but good to know. The great thing about linux is you can mix and match , using different features from different Desktop environments. You also didn't mention window managers , because that changes the look , feel , and performance of your install. That decision comes down to whether you like to use the mouse or you like to use keybindings and tiling window managers. These freedoms are what drove me away from Windows a long time ago. I am glad to hear you talking about gnu/linux , I knew IOT would eventually drive you toward it anyway. Playing with micro controllers also gets exponentially more fun & interesting when you throw a wifi stack in the mix. I know there are a bunch of Raspberry Pi channels but none of the hosts are close to as technically competent as you are. You can interface micro comptrollers with the Pi's 20x20 headers , incorporate Linux, you'll hit all your talking points with one cheap piece of hardware , which for $55(4GB) you can get with 1, 2 , and 4GB of RAM now. Thats a game changer , other boards support these specs but none are as well documented and supported as the Raspberry Pi .

I am sooo happy that Eli The Computer Guy us back to the technical videos .
Great video. So glad to see you going back to your roots in your videos. These educational videos are why I started subscribing to your channel. Keep up the good work.
Eli be pumping out that Linux content on the daily.
The KING of development related technical videos has risen again!
Linux channels, specially the Indian ones should be scared...
Great video' about Linux. Finally someone who gives easy explanations about Linux.
aand he's back! great work eli and thank you!
Dude, I love XFCE, it doesn't really look ugly after you spend some time customizing it, and boy, is it customizable...
@Hogedu AAA I dunno, Gnome's lately on par with lightweight DE's when it comes to performance

Eli, we need videos on Devops concepts, etc.. So after linux please add some Okd, devops, k8's, etc..
Thank you for all the effort eli ! :D
Omg. Eli is back!
FISH is Life!
I really appreciated your presentation, and tnx alot 'JASON STATHAM ' lol😉👏
Eli did you read Louis Rossmann's comment on previous video?
Eli is thinking of ways to win so Louis will have to buy a Mac 🤣
@Charles Zimmerman He's this dude in New York who doesn't like Apple very much for some reason.
@@hattrickster33 For some reason? There's plenty of reasons lol

6:50 examples of popular shells
Nice.👍
i have watch all your videos ... please heart me .. my Idol😍
fish vs bash, any thoughts?
As primarily a coder love zsh, ohmyzsh and the spaceship theme, you never need to leave the terminal. :D And your also saying I SHOULDN'T put everyone on bspwm...? ill be right back... ;)
Give prezto a try, it's a fork of oh-my-zsh that in my experience has way better performance.
I would like a touch screen ui for my raspyberry is that a thing?
What about Cinnamon? 😉

Fish is the best shell, change my mind!
Does server come with GUI?
I use i3wm
Btw I use... Yeah you guessed it. Arch, And i3wm gaps.
Jet Ardeshna I use arch BTW UEFI with systemD boot
I use x86
Whats the best linux distro for gaming??
Games such as MineCraft and Roblox
Sel A just use Ubuntu or Manjaro
Steam OS...
www.google.com/search?q=linux+distro+for+gaming
itsfoss.com/linux-gaming-distributions/
@@FreeER I'd say Manjaro or Pop! OS.
Steam OS is a mess, no one uses it anymore, you won't get a lot of support with it.
@@FreeER SteamOS is basically Debain without Debian. So, no. Ubuntu LTS is the best bet

I was not aware mate was simply gnome version 2.
Yep, just like Trinity is KDE version 3
It's a fork of Gnome 2, pretty sure they've updated it since.
A GUI for a server? This isn't Windows! Bring the pitchforks :-)
Get the picture ;)
I always assumed MATE was pronounced like mate and not like mataaayyyy XD
same, but then I never bothered to read the website where it tells you lol
Failed normal ❤❤
Just me or does it feel demeaning to be seeking knowledge from Eli's videos?
Why is this youtube channel so dead, Hes got almost a million subs lol.
This is an improvement from his earlier videos.
GUI Shells N' Cheese. Mmmmm
