hey bro, while running the link that/server ip it says "site cannot reach" How can i solve that??

LibreOffice is great, I use it for organizing all my documents. You can save .docx files too, if you wanna be able to open your word documents in a Windows computer.

Please make a video customizing LibreOffice. Thanks

Yo..great vid!

Great video, thanks! Very good for beginners, will share it

Good video! I did exactly the same. But do you know how to change the name Windows boot manager to Windows10, for example?

It Sadly Didnt Work😔

I used clonezilla and SUCCESSFULLY cloned my Windows10 C DrIve bit for bit to a same-sized HD. The cloned drive was so identical to the source, that even the drive signature was identical. When I allowed windows to change the signature of the clone, the clone would not boot. The CMD-listed data (under DISKPART) no longer displayed the descriptor, “boot.” Because you cannot have 2 installed drives with the same signature (i.e., the same “Disk ID”). How can I get the clone to boot? (Bios boot ordering does not do it.)

Can I flash the iso to my usb to put on another devicd

Very interesting... Nice demo! I was looking for an on-metal dual boot solution as I have Windows on a secondary SSD ecrypted with BitLocker. I intend on using FDE on the primary SSD to include the linux boot partition also, for snapshotting. I wonder if the prober will work in this scenario. So, two physical drives; first partitioned with EFI + LUKS2 (Boot/Root); second partitioned as default with Bitlocker. Some observations also (if it helps); - I do think `open` works just the same as the older alias `luksOpen`. - For clearing the terminal screen; CTRL+L should do the same without clearing the buffer completely - sometimes you need to refer back.

"A problem occurred while sending the email. Please revise your settings. (Error: Email could not be sent. Check your mail server log)"- i get this error message when i try setting up my email server any idea why? and since im instlling this in 2024 next cloud had already resolved the problem with opening the document so i don't need to do that too right? and im a noobie to cloud servers so it will be really helpful if anyone could guide me through

I did everything but when I press start nothing happens

Thanks a lot; what if the source is two hards (RAID 1) and needs to clone to two hards (To be RAID 1 also). What is your suggestion, please?

how do i make people join my server?

Stopped to write this "what is drive cloning" and left

Hi Drew!!! Thanks for your video, I followed all the steps but I can't select Windows Boot Manager, only Pop!_OS and reboot into firmware interface... What am I doing wrong? Thank you!!!

im bored upload a vid so i can make fron of u

Thank you, bro. That help me a lot!😊

Thank you so much.

hi currently i am facing this problem but i use pop os can i use the same way and is pop os use vmlinuz too ?

I have dell latitude D520 . It's old and I have one option is to install arch Linux 32 bit . The archinstall script doesn't work in2024 and I even downloaded old arch Linux iso of 2023 . It still doesn't work . Update the script or the system or refreshing the keyring .. these suggestions I found one the internet all didn't solve the problems

holllllllllllllll

This helped a heap, I really didn't like GNOME. Thanks man, appreciate it!

We need to stop trying to turn Linux into Windows. Dumbing the platform down is only going to cause issues in the future.

Just rizz them with an Awesome Hyprland theme, they be coming like goons fr.

When I first boot from the hard drive, it shows a blue screen that says “Starting up the partitioner” that is at 100% but it is stuck there. Please help.

Windows is getting killed off by Linux guys and it's catching up pretty fast in the future computers will be ran by Linux because Microsoft is pushing privacy violations.

Nice video! Would love to see a video on how to port forward only to specific IP addresses?

I remember ordering the free CD for this back in 2006. I remember being quite taken with the orange theme as opposed to the blue and green of windows xp. I was in high school though and never really switched to it. I may care much for ubuntu since about version 9.04, but this was my first linux distro and kicked off a lifetime appreciation for linux and alternative operating systems.

why not recommending arch, not vanilla arch, but endeavouros, manjaro, arco linux are popular one, but new user should go with Kubuntu, Linux mint, Fedora any non rolling release, for Gaming they should go with Arch...

Bro, thank you so much! You're the best👍

thanks my brooooooooooooo... u saved my time and efforts!..yeaaaaaaaaaaaa

For new users: Linux Mint, Zorin, PopOS

Are the files you plan to share supposed to be on the Ubuntu VM or can they be in the Windows Host PC?

When I tried Linux for the first time in 2018, I only knew about Ubuntu and hear about Debian. I did stumble a lot and tried different distros for awhile until I decided to go back to Ubuntu as it worked for me the best. I can't really recommend for new users Linux. Linux Mint is what people recommend a lot, but for me it didn't work good on two different PC configurations and my friend had a lot of problem with it too like random crashes and features didn't work properly. But if I had to recommend something, I'd recommend Linux Mint simply because for flatpaks. Otherwise I'd recommend Ubuntu easily if only snaps was as supported by developers.

Ok added a Sub here, joined on Redit moved question there! Again I am sorry it is such a big question ( with lots of detail ), but I needed to pick your brain. Great videos !!! Noticed in many comments people are Thankful for you instruction!!! Thanks for posting up helpful information!!

Great video Drew, you just helped me replace / upgrade my C drive for the first time ever :))

The internet for all of its wealth of information is inherently toxic. Its not just Linux. People argue about Chess, Solitaire and even growing vegetables on here. My suggestion is always consider buying or obtaining a book guide instead...

Makes sense. We as a Linux community just leave new users to fend for themselves instead of guiding them. Personally I have have myself faced some problems on my Linux journey which began 24 years ago. I bought a magazine from the book store which had Red Hat Linux on the cover CD. I still remember the excitement of trying out a new OS. So I installed it. And well there was a problem. the 810 motherboard was not properly supported which meant I had to do without the GUI. Since I was studying BCA then I got ample command line practice. A few months later the issue was fixed and I got to see the GUI for the first time. I haven't looked back since then. I have been trying out various distros such as Debian, Ubuntu and I must admit that these two are the ones I have used the most. Apart from these two I have also used SUSE, Mandrake, Corel, Knoppix and many others which I don't even remember. I have been a die hard Ubuntu user and then Debian. A couple of months ago I made the switch to Arch simply because I needed the cutting edge stuff. So far I am quite happy with it. Moral of the story is other OSes like Windows and Mac don't want you to learn they like to see you crippled and chained up doing their bidding so that they can suck you dry. Linux is all about freedom - freedom to choose, freedom to use.

👍

hey man I tried to do the download the woeusb and it says it is unable to locate package do you know how to fix this

Is not linux is gnu+linux but actualy is gnu+linux+systemd but actualy is not gnu+linux+systemd but actualy is gnu+linux+systemd+wayland but actualy is gnu+linux+systemd+wayland+xorg and list goes on

Usually I recommend something Ubuntu based due to the sheer amount of documentation and helpful posts online. With DE recommendations, I usually recommend GNOME because without extensions it's pretty stable (COSMIC be looking good though) and reiterate that they should set aside their prior Windows knowledge to focus on learning. I would likely smack anyone dumb enough to recommend Arch to newbies. I migrated to Arch based after Ubuntu based stuff and then Fedora.

You know why i do not need to switch to linux? Because my logitech g29 just works with all the features Because my sound blaster x fi hd usb just works with all features Because my rtx 3060ti works with ALL features including both monitors And guess what...without a single word typed on terminal. Not ever,one is a tinkerer

if you can’t get new users into Ubuntu then just forget it.

I like Mac OS for regular tasks for most people just do unbunto are Linux mint if u have a crappy system run Linux lite if u want a sever run debunen are unbunto

Ok, you asked for it... Actually no, the only thing i will say is that, most people just tell newbies to use Linux Mint, here in Brazil a lot of people WANT to start with Zorin or BigLinux 'cause of the community. I don't think the Linux community have failed, i think you are too young to see what have been done. Not only that but "distrochooser" is there it will recommend something easy for the end user, if a person don't even want to understand the concept of distros (that's a 30sec thing btw) i don't think this person really wants to use Linux.

There is a reason why the Steam Deck is popular, "it's plug and play" recommend something "plug and play" to new people. Most people don't want to mess with an OS (I know I don't) they want to install it and start using it to install their apps. I personally use Nobara and that was plug and play. Upgrading to a new version needs some improvment though and until that happens I recommend Bazzite to people which is identical to Nobara but runs off silverblue and doesn't update MESA drivers and Plasma as fast.

Linux is linux because of how it is... if people want it to be like windows, they can continue to use windows. I dont see why we need to introduce anyone to Linux lol. If a user can ont do their own research to figure out which distro they want... maybe they should not be using Linux to begin with. Also, i don't see why we need to introduce normies to linux lol...

I usually start by telling them "Linux is not Windows. It's completely different. You probably won't be able to use some of the programs you're used to, but there's almost always a replacement that will work. Unless you absolutely *have to* have a certain Windows-exclusive program for work or school or you aren't willing to give up something specific, this isn't nearly bad as it sounds, but it does take some getting used to." (Lots of people lose interest here, especially gamers and creative folk like artists and musicians who heavily rely on proprietary software and aren't willing to abandon it to learn something new. That's perfectly acceptable and a great point to end the discussion. That doesn't mean they'll never use Linux. Quite the opposite, in fact. If their preferred program every gets Linux support, they'll probably be the one to bring it up again. But if you keep trying to press them, it's going to turn them off to Linux as a whole. Just don't be "that guy". You know the one, you see them in half the Linux memes, particularly in the FOSS space. All that might be fine as an occasional joke, but if you're constantly dogging on their OS and software, it makes the whole Linux community look like it's full of jerks.) DESKTOP ENVIRONMENTS If they're still interested after the laundry list of disclaimers, I tell them not to feel overwhelmed by all of the apparent options because almost every distro is basically the same as far as they'll ever care to know. Instead, I tell them to check out all the the really cool desktop environments on TH-cam and Reddit to find out which one they like the look and feel of. (Leave the minimalist installs, compositors, and window managers out of the discussion. They need a functional OS immediately upon installation, not some multi-week project for their computer science finals.) I also note that almost all of the DEs are VERY customizable, so if they enjoy a good deal of what one has to offer but really dislike this or that, they can probably alter it with little effort or install some program to make it more ideal for them. It's also important at this point to really drill it in that any program that comes with any DE can be *easily* installed with any other too. If they like the Thunar file manager but aren't fond of Xfce, if they really like how simple and intuitive Gnome Disks is but don't want to run GNOME, that's absolutely not a problem. All they have to do is install it. (And unlike some other operating systems where the word "install" carries a lot of extra baggage with it, installations are almost never an involved process here on Linux. Rarely even requires a reboot. 😸) WHICH DISTRIBUTION? Since pretty much any desktop environment can be installed on any distro, as can any program, the user interface shouldn't affect what distro they choose hardly at all. So this actually turns out to be one of the easiest decisions to make, but someone new to Linux won't yet have the knowledge to make that call themselves. Not yet anyway. So ask some questions: 1) How much do you want pre-configured for you? (If you're having this discussion, a more specialized downstream fork like POP!_OS, Garuda, or Nobara would be ideal. Forget "vanilla" anything. Just make sure the distro has the features they want, any software configuration for their programs managed for them, and won't be more buggy than they'll be willing to contend with. Note that might be better for some people if one or two features are missing entirely than to troubleshoot minor issues every once in a while.) 2) Do you want a large amount of supported software, or are you okay with the essentials plus a few other well-known programs? (Basically just asking if they frequently try out new and/or niche software.) 3) Do you want your OS and programs to always have the latest updates available? (Do they want new features as quickly as possible, or are they usually content to use their programs as-is once they get used to them?) 4) Are you okay with reinstalling your OS every 2 years? Every 5 years? How about just updating in perpetuity, never needing to boot from a flash drive again? (Stable, LTS, or rolling release?) Once they've made a decision on the desktop environment and answered those questions, that seemingly enormous ocean of distros will rapidly evaporate, leaving only a few drops. TLDR; At the end of the day, introducing someone to Linux is a legitimately involved process. It's not like suggesting some new program where someone can just download an installer and figure it out from there. It's an entirely new experience. They're going to need active guidance. You'll need to be patient and receptive to their needs and preferences. Because you've already got many months or even years of experience, you can help new users avoid all the troubles you faced along your own journey. Most importantly, you can't let your personal ideals get in the way of helping them find something that is ideal for them. That means you're probably going to have some learning to do yourself too.
