    Fun fact: a decade ago all existing toys names' were assigned to releases up to 13 (which is current Testing), Toy Story 4 in 2019 was celebrated because the tradition could be prolonged further.

    • @YouTuxChannel
      @YouTuxChannel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yes, you're absolutely right!
      When Toy Story 4 was released in 2019, it introduced new characters, allowing this fun tradition to be extended even further. It’s great to see how a small homage like this has become a lasting part of Debian’s identity!

    Honestly, the "ambient" music should be more ... well, ambient. When it fights with spoken word, it's rather disturbing than helping. About the 4:57 to 5:00 sounds like the right amount (everything before is simply too loud. Not sure what's next, I'm writing this during watching the video)

    Nice to see the history of the distro I use since version 3, but a few notes: The development version Sid is called after the boy in toy story that destroys toys, hence Sid is always the unstable version that breaks a lot.
    The other are more related to the video style. The background noise at around the 14 minute mark is horrible and the music at the end gives the feeling the Debian project failed and is dead. Thank you for your efforts anyway!

    Very informative, thanks.
    I am quite new to this (technical discussions of Linux), and I wonder what "architecture" is in this context.
    I use Mint on an old Macbook , which is very good, and am just about to try Debian 12.

    • @YouTuxChannel
      @YouTuxChannel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you :) It's great to hear you're using Mint on your MacBook, and trying Debian 12 is an exciting step.
      In this context, "architecture" refers to the type of computer hardware your system is built on. For example, common architectures include x86_64 (for most modern computers), ARM (for smartphones or Raspberry Pi), and PowerPC (which some older Macs used). Different architectures have different instruction sets, meaning the way the processor handles tasks is unique to each.
      When installing Debian or any Linux distribution, it's important to choose the right architecture for your hardware. Since you’re using an older MacBook, make sure to verify whether it's running on an Intel-based processor (x86_64 ). Luckily, Debian supports a wide variety of architectures, so you should be good to go!
      I hope this helps, and enjoy your journey with Debian 12!

    • @staninjapan07
      @staninjapan07 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@YouTuxChannel Thanks for explaining architecture, and its relevance to choosing a distro type. Yes, I knew just enough to make sure I got the right debian for my old macbook (Intel) and to verify the image checksum (and even the checksum check with gpg), which I had to learn a couple of years back when installing Mint. Though I have only run the debian live boot from USB so far, even that seems lighter or faster than Mint on both my old macbook and my wife's 2018 Lenovo ideapad 330. And Mint, in turn, runs better then OS X 10 / Windows 7 on the old macbook.
      Thanks again.

      Thank you for your comment, I really appreciate your opinion! While I have a lot of respect for Ubuntu and what it has brought to the Linux world, I see Debian and Ubuntu a bit differently. Debian has contributed enormously to open source, whereas Ubuntu, while introducing innovations like ease of use, has in recent years taken a more independent path with technologies like Unity, Upstart, and Snap. It’s an interesting debate, and in the end, it enriches the Linux landscape!

    I have used Debian since 2002 (3.0 Woody).
    Out of curiosity, I have over the years tried a bunch of live versions of other distros (Mint, Suse, Arch, and some of the smaller ones) ... but Daddy is still the best.
    Stuff _just works_ under Debian, and since I do not require bleeding-edge hardware or niche applications, I don't see myself switching distros, ever.
    The one single negative point I can think of is ... the website (shocker). I believe we can all agree it is an abomination, lol.
    However ... Great OS + Crappy Website > Crappy OS + Great Website. Right?

    • @YouTuxChannel
      @YouTuxChannel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The distributions you mentioned are excellent, among the best in my opinion, and the best in specific fields. Debian is versatile and universal, a serious and professional project. You know, I feel the same way! In terms of marketing and image, there's still a lot of work to be done. Yes, the website absolutely needs improvement, especially the download page. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't know Linux: they would be quite overwhelmed by the number of Debian versions and especially by the challenge of finding a specific one. There isn't a serious merchandising effort. Many times I wanted to buy Debian items or clothing, but the website redirects to external services that are often poor and low-quality. And don't even get me started on the donations page.

    • @Gaius__
      @Gaius__ 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@YouTuxChannel lol, the website is not only confusing for new users ... I have been using Debian for 22 years now, and every time I search for the checksums of the ISO I downloaded, I spend five minutes cursing. The images themselves are very easy to find, it's one click ... but try to verify them, and you will learn what true frustration feels like.
      Fortunately you only need checksums very rarely, and once you are done circle-clicking, you can bookmark (at least for that specific release) ... but it is baffling how a team that can put together such a superior OS at the same time manages to have a website that looks like a middle school project.
      Ah, I guess it is just a part of the charm: the full _Debian Experience_ 😁

    I think I'm detecting text to speech software. The power move would've been to narrate this with the built-in screen reader. I was installing debian once and waited too long at the prompt, and it automatically selected the install with the screen reader enabled. If you haven't ever used the default screen reader, it's incredibly robotic sounding. Which is a plus to me.

    My first version of Debian is Hamm.
    Calling Openstack a cloud company is strange, Openstack is open source project for building clouds.
    Surprised you didn't talk about reproducibility (which is shown in the video) as Debian is 1 of the leading projects.
    PS at 3:23 you have Slackaware at the bottom, is that a typo ?

    • @YouTuxChannel
      @YouTuxChannel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience with Debian, starting with Hamm! You’re absolutely right-calling OpenStack a cloud company was a bit imprecise on my part. As you pointed out, it is indeed an open-source project for building clouds, and I appreciate you catching that.
      Regarding reproducibility, I completely agree! Debian is indeed a leader in this area, and I should have given it more attention. It's a crucial aspect of the project that showcases Debian’s commitment to reliability and consistency.
      As for the typo at 3:23, yes, "Slackaware" was an oversight. It should, of course, be "Slackware." Thanks for pointing that out, unfortunately i can't correct :(
      Again, thank you for your valuable feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, and I’ll strive to make future content even more accurate and informative.

    Interesting video and thanks for putting in the effort. In the future I suggest you have someone proofread (watch) the content before you go public if possible. There were a number of errors that detract from the underlying value. (first graphical installer was text installer, Bruce Perens owned Progeny, year Bookworm was introduced among others.) And I found it odd that the Ubuntu startup music introduced the Video. My first use of Debian was late 90s but I can't recall which was first. ISTR a version number 0.9x but I don't recall if that was the kernel version or the distro version.
    Thank you and thank Debian and all who make it work.

    • @YouTuxChannel
      @YouTuxChannel  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for your comment . The Ubuntu startup music. it's just part of the channel's intro and appears in all the videos, so it's not specific to this content. As for the relationship between Bruce Perens and Progeny, I don't think I mentioned it in the video, but there may have been some ambiguity.
      I agree that perfection is an important goal, and I would love to make the corrections, but unfortunately, the only way would be to delete the video and re-upload it. However, I think these are details that can be improved over time, and I appreciate that you pointed them out. Comments like yours are valuable because they help improve the content and make the videos more accurate for everyone.
