Hello, I am finding that Nvidia GPU support is much better than it used to be as well, I have tried probably 4 different Distros here lately and have had no video issues on my RTX 4070

@@sherrilltechnology Yeah I know that is true kind of, GeForce Older ones, I tend to call RTX one just RTX even they do have "geforce" beforehand. Just specific things needing to stick to the 470 driver version, some linux distros like to install the 515 one, I can't use that. And Just specific issues to specific distros really. I'm not gonna bash em tho lmao BASH lol That what Linux is all about though. Finding the right distro and stability. And of course uninstall some of the bloat or things I don't need that it default installs.

You are exactly right finding the distro that works best for you is a journey and sometimes takes a really long time, but it is very cool to see people using Linux and learning with it. Thanks so much for watching!

Oh sorry about that it must have been my first setup on my Mac using the Focusrite device

Thanks so much Weeaboos I have never heard that word before I learn something new everyday LOL!! Thanks so much for watching

Hello Arch for sure isn't for everyone, I have learned that there is a Linux Distro for everyone and whether that be Mint or Arch is depends on the person. I do agree that Mint is good if you just want to use the computer and software. I have noticed what you said in the second paragraph to be true, Mint is terrible for people who love Arch. 15 minutes is pretty good to get it back exactly where you want it! I like the part where you created a package list that you can use as an install template, that is very cool! It is about preference, there are things I like about Arch for sure. Do you have a TH-cam channel about Arch? If so I would subscribe today! Thanks so much for watching!

@@sherrilltechnology I made one youtube video about . . . tricks to making decent config files a few years back, I am pretty sure it was an i3 config. I am thinking of taking advantage of the rise of hyprland to redo that and other similar vidoes . . . although, not specifically arch. I like arch for about the same reason i like painting on a blank canvas. It only has what i paint and nothing more.

@@sherrilltechnology oh, and, it is more than just a list . . . i wrote a script . . . every time i install a package, the package is added, every time i remove a package it is removed . . . i don't have to remember . . . it just asks me if i want to add or remove afterwards and i click yes or no.

I really like Mint and I have never heard of Archcraft looks like I see another set of videos, thanks for watching!

Hello and I would for sure agree with you it is fast using the script and the OS is very fast as well, thanks so much for watching

What is interesting is that T-Mobile has been pretty good so far in Colorado where I live. But AT&T was horrible not to say that they are not good somewhere else. Also with T-Mobile we have a price lock on what we have as well. I hope that AT&T does a good job of improving their services. Thanks so much for watching

@@sherrilltechnology I’ve heard that AT&T needs to improve on Colorado from another user. AT&T is solid here in the great state of Texas 😌

@@lolzinc Where I live in Colorado it is pretty bad, you get a lot of buffering and sometimes it does not work at all. I love Texas!

That is the way I see it as well, thanks so much for watching

Hello I think OpenSuse is one that I have never tried now I have another video to do, thanks so much for watching!

I think so to, there are other good ones as well, but for ease of use I think Mint is the best for me.

That is what I could see as well. If it is bleeding edge and has all of the newest updates that will always cause issues. Thanks so much for watching!

LOL it is safety third!

Thanks so much Aaron!!

My goodness that is some good information, do you have a TH-cam you do videos on I would watch them!! Thanks so much for all of the information! The only issue I have with Arch is complexity, but with a complete Repository I will have to give it another try! Thanks so much for watching also!

​@@sherrilltechnology No, I don't do youtube, just watch it. At the end of the day Arch isn't any more or less complex than other distros. It just doesn't have many packages installed and/or configured out of the box. Arch is bare bones by design. It's meant for people to customize to their liking instead of shipping opinionated default setups. There are however Arch based distros that build upon that, similar how Mint is based on Ubuntu, which in turn is based on Debian.

That is a very good point I am going to make another video where I do just that very thing

Hello and thanks for watching you make a very good point I have noticed that some Distros work better with legacy hardware some work better with newer hardware and some work fairly well with any hardware, that is crazy how hot your CPU is getting just on TH-cam! Man I cannot imagine how Linux would run on my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro M1 Pro!! Thanks so much for the information!!

I completely agree with you, it has progressed so far in the last 5 years and I am very proud to be a part of the Linux community

Hello Kubuntu is one that I have not tried yet but I will put that on my list to try, thanks so much for the recommendation and for watching my video!

I would love to get an old MacBook and try out Mint on it, thanks so much for watching my video!

It is true that Arch is all new with newer drivers and the most up to date kernel I think a lot of people like the ease of use of Mint.

No it's not true. You can use Mint Edge edition with newer Kernel.

Obviously I do like Arch as it is Linux but Mint is good to

Completely agree thanks for watching!

Oh there is another one I am going to have to try, thanks so much for watching my video!

That is true they are completely different but after using both of them I can say that they each have their own appeal and I try to always keep an open mind on Linux Distros as I just want to learn new things and maybe try to influence some people to at least try both Arch and Mint and that would be one less person giving money to the Microsoft Machine anyways, thanks so much for the comment and watch!

You are exactly right I cannot tell you how many distros I have been through to get to Mint, maybe 30 or so. I do like EndeavourOS it is clean for sure I had issues with the Bluetooth but maybe I will go back and re-examine maybe I did something wrong, thanks so much for the watch and the comment!

I just like Mint personally but more than that I love Linux not only for the use of it but more so for what it stands for freedom to create whatever you want! Mint is such a good Distro, thanks for watching my video and thanks for the comment!

Hello I plan on it, I have about 4 more I am planning on.

Oh now that is interesting why did you do it that way I am curious and thanks so much for watching!

@@sherrilltechnology I wanted my main PC to work as easily as possible and as stable as possible, I wasn't too concerned with storage space and "bloat", hence mint was one of the clear options, pop or Ubuntu would've both been fine too. For my laptop, I wanted the lightest weight thing just to maximize performance, and it also allowed me to experiment with the more technical aspects of Linux without frustration because I always have the main rig. I also think tiling window managers (I'm using hyprland) work best on single screen setups and help maximize usability. Also I get to show my arch rice to everyone :D (I'm still working on it lmao)

Hello I do believe it is possible as I have a video on my channel wherein I take a USB drive while I am running VMware Workstation Player and boot and install the OS via USB passthrough and it worked awesome!

@@sherrilltechnology Nah, it didn't work. I tried from Vmware first and it just couldn't attach the USB. Then I tried in Hyper-V and it couldn't get to the Local Resources dialog. It actually says that "if the operating system makes it possible". But I could make it from the boot, just as you did. It boots from it, but it's totally invisible from Windows.

Hmm I wonder why it did not work I have done that very thing before?

I am so glad to hear that Mint is an incredible OS and I love it as well thanks so much for watching!!

That may be true but remember the things we learn today will help us with things tomorrow I rarely use Windows anymore just for 1 game and that is it, I use Mac for my job and Mac for editing videos and then Linux for everything else.

That is true and the main advantage of Arch and I think the Install Script for Arch was an attempt to get more people to use it, and that is cool that you are using Arch everyday do you have a Desktop Environment that you use?

@@sherrilltechnology the install script is nice but sort of defeats the purpose of Arch! Arch can be whatever you want it to be, that has always been the point for me, anyway. It is as close to LFS as you can get!

You are correct on this Arch is meant to be fully customizable.

I have heard Cosmic is going to be awesome for sure, thanks so much for watching!

Hello there Arch is for sure a good one, just not for me but that is the beauty of Linux is that there is one for everyone. Also what do you need prayer for and I will be more than willing to pray for you!!

@@sherrilltechnology That true bro. Sorry it took me this long to get back @u. Well i think i am not myself lately. I feel like i am losing myself, ican't explain how but it's a feeling i am having. I became unemployed for few years now. Things don't work out. So i believe a prayer might help. Thanks

I will pray for you, I was in the same place myself I could not find a job. I looked for about 6 months and could not find anything. I did get a job eventually but in another state. I learned a valuable lesson that you cannot live in fear of changing from one field to another which is what I did. God has been very good to me, so my advice is do not lose hope keep pushing forward, take this time to grow your skill set however you can. When things look hopeless that is when you are the closest, put your trust and hope in Him and He will help you if you ask and believe! If you need something else just let me know!! I will continue to pray for you also!

@@sherrilltechnology Thank you 🙏 may God bless you

Facts I really think that it requires time to figure out which one is good for you, thanks so much for watching!

That is a very interesting path but I could see why you chose it, and this is what I love about Linux and the community so many different people who have different ways of learning Linux. People choose different Distros for a reason, thanks so much for watching

I agree Flathub is a very sweet place for apps. Thanks so much for watching!

Hello you are indeed correct and it is certified as such. I actually use a MacBook Pro to edit all of my videos and it is one of my favorite computers, thanks so much for watching!

I do like the AUR and it has so much software and so many choices thanks so much for pointing that out, and thanks so much for watching!

I can tell you I had so many errors as well, it was just aggravating to try to install but once I did get it installed it was a very cool experience, try not to give up and thanks so much for watching!

Thanks so much for the kind words that is what my channel is all about and hopefully people can learn something as well! Thanks so much for watching!

@@sherrilltechnology 100% deserved! Keep up the amazing work! <3

NixOS I will have to now do a video on that one as well, I will keep my diapers on for now and thanks so much for watching!

I love nixos and the idea behind it and I used it for a while, the issue I run into it though is that if you run into an issue where you need to run some app that isn't available on nixpkgs then you have a lot of work to get that app working since it doesn't follow the standard structure or run generic binaries out of the box. I ran into a few issues like that since I like fiddling with new and obscure apps and I didn't feel like I could handle having to mantain packages for the apps that I needed or that my old laptop could handle doing that.

All jokes apart, we are amazingly lucky we have so many distributions to choose from depending our needs and preferences. Nix and NixOS isn’t definitely for everyone, and in my case I’m willing to deal with the ton of issues NixOS has because I simply can’t get enough of it. Some of this issues are real issues, others are a consequence of how it works. Thanks for spreading the Tux gospel!

At least you are trying just keep going and learning something everyday and you will get there! Thanks so much for watching

Did you have a learning curve of any kind, and thanks so much for watching!

@@sherrilltechnology I had done linux admin for a long time. My issues were learning GUI apps and nvidia drivers. I'm still stronger in the command line than the desktop.

For sure the GUI can be hard but for the Nvidia drivers they work much better than they used to.

evolving backwards

Senior admin of multi national here…I just slapped mint in a Lenovo tiny. I7 16bg and Samsung drives… OMG! This thing runs circles around W11 as far as opening apps, and installing. I am comfortable with scripts so I ran a few to tweak what I wanted. I love it! I retire next year and I know exactly what I’ll be doing at least the first year with my home network

Those are facts most people just want things to work, and Arch is not one of those, Fedora is very good to, there are a lot of very good Distros thanks so much for watching!

I had the same issues as you but after mint it has been good, Pop is a good one to
