I love the way you teach something. Your tone of voice, examples, well prepared content, funny stuff and so much more. Really glad to see new videos about your old vids style. Always been a fan of your work. Cheers...
I started watching you way back in 2011, but I had to go away when I saw that your content had been changed, but now seeing you back to your professional content is is just amazing. Great instructor that knows how to teach well.
I'm in an ITSA program right now, but I spend more time watching you to get clarity on things! Thank you so much for what you do, you were instrumental in my understanding of AD for my MTA Server Admin certification, now I'm about to take Linux Essentials and back to your channel I went!
So if I understand correctly, Linux is just a kernel. Which is why it's not an OS, unless paired with a software like GNU. Hence why it's considered as GNU Linux.
but thing is , it doesn't have to be gnu software combined with the linux software. when i say "linux" im talking about every single combination with linux kernel. alpine linux for instance is a great slap in the face to people who keep "correcting" me on that.
This video couldn't have come at a better time for me because I'm currently trying to decide if I should learn more about Windows server or Linux server. Been casually experimenting with linux for years but I'm really going to dig in and learn all I can this time.

As a guy works with servers does a lot of sys administration, like a looot, I'm telling you go with Linux. Even Microsoft is selling mostly Linux on Azure so yeah... Go with Linux.
ooooohmigod!!! --- you are back in this arena? YES!!! Everything you do, on any subject, is wonderful. Philosophical, technological, all of it!!! Your natural ability to teach IT is beyond compare, thank you!!!
Linux is just an awesome Operating System in general. The best ever made! Linux has been simplified so much over the years with ubuntu and with so many resources out there to learn everything about linux.
The first thing you need to know about Linux is the first time you load it on your hard drive...everything breaks! Well, almost. You are going to run into problems and you should use this as an opportunity to learn how to solve problems in Linux. For instance, if you can't get your machine to talk to your printer, find a fix for it so you can learn how to find drivers, etc. It's a good thing to learn, at the very least to know that there's an alternative to Windows and Mac OS. Yes, you can run it off a thumb drive, and I do recommend this to get a feel for Linux. But if you have a machine you don't mind dual booting in, or wiping clean, then I say take it for a spin all the way. I have a couple dedicated Linux machines and otherwise use a number of Windows machines for my business. Linux is just a hobby for me, and desktop Linux at that. I run Mint with the Cinnamon desktop and it works great.
Watching you from that alternative operating system. Must admit that I also drop the GNU when I discuss this alternative OS. Retired technical writer, so I guess I'm getting sloppy in my old age. Pity, but using GNU Linux we are. MS Windows 10 was our tipping point, and regret the change we do not. But then all we want is a stable and secure operating system that gives us a usable desktop. Was not hard to install or maintain, and kudos to the Linux Mint folks!
Command line text browser are awesome. No ads, no distractions. The only drawbacks is not having images(unless you use w3m) or video and no JavaScript support
😝 I love the Linux introduction!! Linux seems to be embedded everywhere with the phenomenon of rapidly developing IOT things. I wonder if Linus ever thought his “project” would extend this far? Keep up the great 👍🏻 learning content!
Started listening to your videos on the work van radio today and I can say your videos are very informative audio only style and a great way to make the day go by!
The command line syntax is quite arbitrary. The commands are usually provided by a program called Bash, and are different from the DOS/Windows ones. There are alternatives to Bas even within Linux. But there is a version of Bash for Windows, and OTOH you can easily map DOS style commands (or anything you like) to Bash commands in Linux. For example in Linux you can map the DOS _"dir"_ to the Bash _"ls"._
I remember using Lynx (the text only terminal based web browser he is talking about in the video) in the late 90s. And as bad as web browsers where back then, it was still terrible :) The one thing it had goin for it imo. is that it did not download any additional files like images, background images or thumbnails. So on our slow dial-up connections at that time, it was blazingly fast to brows with :)
The hardest part of writing an OS is the kernel. GNU/Hurd was intended to be the kernel for the gnu project...but it was a little bit too ambitious and has been in development hell ever since.
Richard Stallman got distracted into writing GNU Emacs, which ended up practically like an operating system itself. He even created an Emacs religion. In the time he wasted on Emacs he failed to get Hurd done.
I never got these questions in Linux class! The Instructed walked us through a VM creation process and then turned us on playing with some form of red hat back in 2008.
Thank you! Much appreciated It IS easy to learn. Especially now with the resources and having 3 linux experts helping out. 👍 Just don't be afraid to try it out n ask
I don't understand the comment that Windows is like a Swiss Army knife, while Linux best suits a single purpose. In both cases they come with the basic OS functions plus some default apps like a text editor, browser, simple graphics and even small games. You install or buy the apps you need. Both come in server and desktop versions, although with Linux the only difference between them is the default apps you get.
... stop trying to humiliate a gimpy old man... just remember this day when you're a broken down 40 year old... The Epoxy is coming! The epoxy comes for us all ;)
Thank you so much for your videos!!! I had an interview with Google with unfamiliar OS round, your videos helped me out a lot!! I got the job too.. Thank you so much ♥ keep up the great work!
Nice intro...very informative... now you have to make a guide (step by step) how to use a lnux server distro as an DHCP / DNS and Active Directory and some simple group policy like stuff :)
WOW GREAT BASIC and simple EXPLANATION....Maybe you can do the same for basic commands or creating some server on Linux or something...THank you for the great content
can you share what your other videos will be about? would love to understand/learn more about managing/administrating Linux devices (including desktops not just servers). what is the equal of GP or MDM in the Linux world and so on … thanks
GNU -> "...horrible branding". It was a fun pun to talk about back in the day, but yeah it doesn't meet 2019 marketing standards, even thought I personally appreciate that you mention it on the video. \o/
Excellent video. Thank you for the very clear descriptions and presentation style. It is refreshing to hear this information from someone who is not petty partisan Linux distribution fan boy. I look forward to your continued Linux coverage. :-)
I wanted to put Mint or Pop on my living room computer that was given to me. However, it comes with activated Win10 and Win10 works with everything including drivers, etc. However, it just feels all wrong because I search some really weird shit on this computer. I use a VPN but I'm thinking that Linux is more secure. I adjusted all my privacy settings on Windows and Edge, but it down feel right.
Anyone who insists on calling Linux in general GNU/Linux or GNU+Linux should probably consider removing themselves from the gene pool in one way or another. Calling it such ignores wholesale any operating system which runs the Linux Kernel but is not reliant on GNU coreutils, binutils, glibc, or even GCC.
I cannot speak for the computer term but the animal Gnu is pronounced "NEW". Gnu is another name for Wildebeest. A Gnu is a species of African Antelope.
Im trying to watch this on a Linux PC (Manjaro) and i just get a "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available" error message.. all other youtube videos play without a hitch.. oh Linux, you so silly sometimes..
sir i am kali linux install by bootable pandrive rufus but my linux under the any toolkit i am open to terminal unswer became to command is no command please help me sir
I used text based browser (Lynx I think) back in 2005-6, because they used very little memory and I mostly used forums and read stuff. It was fast and simple to use while not using resources for bullshit After 2010 or so most sites would not work on it
Linux, or _Linooks_ as the founder appears to call it, is just so simple to use that it is on so many of the computers out there that its market share dwarfs Microcrap and CrapOSX. Oh wait, it doesn't does it. Maybe if it was more user friendly then it would be adopted more. Personally I think it is kept not much different from its 1995 state just so the geek noobs can appear to be pseudoly superior with a non mainstream operating system. It doesn't help that there are oh so many different distro variants of the O/S out there that it confuses people and I have stopped trying to explain to them and in fact I can no longer keep track of the differences. A case of _too many cooks are spoiling the broth_ me thinks.
"maybe I should be a florist" is what I am thinking right now. Hopefully by the end of the video I will understand this and not be a florist because I would suck at that too

about the linux being a OS or GNU.. this shows one of the many reasons why linux only has 1 - 3% of market share.. In the real world, its a operating system built 'on a common' kernel.. they have heard of keep it simple, rather that over bloating over perceived egos..
That academic debate among GNU/Linux greybeards has nothing to do with market share. The vast majority of people have never heard of GNU, not even most Linux users.

Race you to 1M!

Finally you started creating (and updating) old tutorials. I got bored with you with those long talks. But I am happy and enabled the bell icon

It is worthwhile to watch this videos in 2022? I mean about the content
Why no love for OpenSUSE? OpenSUSE is the best distro (Tumbleweed for workstations and Leap for servers).
Distribution wise, don't exclude NixOS and Guix! (Guix gets bonus points for being a GNU project haha)
Thx - a lot of energy in your talk.
Arch doesn't use GNU with the Linux kernel.
Nice Introduction to Lin-ox. can't wait to see more.

You don't need the command line with Linux to do ordinary stuff. it's easier to install and run than Win.
Installing Windows is a frigging nightmare. Most people don't realise that because on most PCs it comes pre-installed.

VirtualBox - the application of that name. I would not say that setting it up was "below beginner" stuff.
Linux and the Linux kernel are different things. Linux is the OS that includes the Linux kernel.
