Finland should be renamed to Linuxland

Linux simply Rocks, I use RichARCH btw. With it I was able to get Arch Linux up and running simply and quickly with kickstart like automation features.

MS Windows was the biggest reason we went to Linux. Version 10 was the tipping point, and the fact that I was laid off from the company I spent 36 years with left me time and motivation to look at alternatives, and different distributions.

I have been using only Linux for the last 5 years and I have only one piece of advice to anyone trying to switch. Don't expect it to be Windows. It is a totally different OS and you will have to re-learn many things. It might be a painful process, but you will overcome it and find a much more user-friendly and efficient environment to do your work in.

I’m not sure of the terminology. Is Xfce a window manager or desktop environment?

Shouldn't that 20-intel.conf go into xorg.conf.d instead??

This video got randomly recommended to me by youtube today and I thought, why not.. You probably wont read this, but why not Gimp? I downloaded krita because I am on kde, kinda makes sense with a "K" software, and have never used Gimp so I have no idea. The reason I ask is because I know nothing about img editing ala photoshop, I just wanted something downloaded "just in case". And about gaming on linux, I have no problem gaming anything on linux except for if the anti cheat demands root access. And I do not want to install something like that on my computer anyway. Proton/Steam really "is that good" in 2024! (thank you Valve for putting all that money into the proton project!!!!) Heck, when I started trying to game on linux about 1.5 years ago, the first thing I installed was control ultimate edition, and I got BETTER FRAMERATE ON LINUX THAN ON WINDOWS11!!!!! (to be fair, the frametime is a tiny bit higher on linux, but I don't feel that, at all) I love that you have Crossout installed, I used to play the crap out of that game.. :D

Thank you, please review Big Linux OS

I don't use Linux because of two of it's shortcomings: • Inferior font rendering • Cannot pinch to zoom on browsers. The third party additions to this are janky and not as smooth as Windows.

The three pdf related applications I use instead of acrobat are: For signing/annotating non-interactive pdf's: Xournal++ For interactive pdf forms: Firefox For just reading large pdf documents like manuals: Sioyek Firefox and , I am told , chromium browsers have excellent pdf readers built in. Xournal++ opens pdfs as a background and allows drawing , highlighting , erasing , embedding images etc into a second layer and then export as a new pdf. Sioyek is designed to be used by researchers reading pdf documents and has excellent navigation.

im getting old now, and i cant be arsed anymore to rice my linux to some new color sh1t every day :D XFCE ticks all the boxes and i get shit done. gruvbox theme is all i need. love you bye.

The original reason for me choosing xfce was that it was not designed to be fantastic, novel, have supercool effects or animations, and lets me make efficient use of the machine, by configuring like good ole XP (that I only used for a short time) and get things available. It happens that xfce was much more flexible than anything Microsoft ever could come up with so instead of 1 panel I have 4 panels: one for the ordinary stuff, one for the nine work spaces, one for the system status and a clock/calendar, and one for fast program/tool access. And the system is much less in danger of being kidnapped or attacked by virus and malware. Windows is just one big inconvenient security risk that I need for a few tasks, Linux is the serious working tool.

i believe

YEAH YEAH YEAH

No good for the average person like me, it’s too complicated.

Living happy with linux. wont turn back ever. Got rid of my windows image I'm that content with linux mint

I've been using Linux since days of Slackware on floppies.

If you like the GUI of Mac then install Fedora. If you like Windows then install Linux Mint. This is a very broad recommendation haha but both are superb Linux systems. I say SYSTEMS not Distros because they are both truly world class and work very well even on ten year old hardware. No need to waste money to buy new stuff!

I was aware of most of your points. Actually, I downloaded Mint and have tried using it for a while. I'd like to use it daily, but I'm still struggling to transition, as I don't think my expensive music software will work on Linux. Still, I'm heading down the Linux path...I'm just taking my time.

Been using Linux since 1994. I use Windows 10 for games, music, internet, and use Linux for servers. Since Windows 11 I'm hating Windows, so planning on going total Linux.

Just read the Microsoft EULA and you know. I am using arch btw. 🙂6 years age I changed from Windows 10 to Arch Linux, and it is right for me. Im using my Computer for Internet, light Office and Gaming. I have been using Open/Libre office on Windows for many years. On the Gaming side I dont like online Games I only play offline singleplayer Games and im my Library round about 800 Games 5 of them dont work at all, so for me over 99% of my Games work as they would on Windows.

I've been a very casual linux user since I stumbled across a slackware linux book at my university in the 1990's with a CD in the back. I installed it on my pentium 90 without really knowing what for. LOL. Since then I ran into a proper computer guy who got me into Debian and while I have tried other distros, I always go back to Debian. The other day I decided to see what's new in computer land in terms of open-source servers that I can play with deploying in docker and holy smokes, a lot of stuff has changed. It's an exciting time to learn dev-ops. Good to see Debian hasn't changed much. It's definitely the "old faithful" of operating systems.

I would say there's one more, if you're looking for maximum "it just works, don't ask how" and you're willing to sacrifice customizability in the process: Solus. Or if you need a little customizability, you can use ClearLinux, which Solus borrows heavily from, for basically the same "it just works, don't ask how" purpose.

Great video!

❤

Super! 🎉

I have been using Xubuntu for 8 years. It is the most stable operating system I have used.

I use Debian 12 for my server , so the xz backdoor may not have made it into the final .

Awesome Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴

i am very happy with manjaro. installing things in arch is just a lot nicer with the aur

Most of these things are available in GNOME Tactile to place windows in various positions on a workspace via key board shortcuts Auto Move Windows to open apps on specific workspaces Shift + Super + <various keys> and Super + <various keys> to move windows to different workspaces

Hi L-Lodge, Thanks for your Video. Didn't know you were Finish as (IMHO) you speak english as a native and very glad to know you do 😃 As about using Linux (work in LMint 21.3) I find it lacks knacks necessaries to ease transition from Windows. I talk with many Windows users who are advanced and intermediate users and can't recommend they change to Linux (even to low-level distros like LMint, Zorin...) cause I find they are unable work in it. My advice to them is: if you have a Tech (free or paid) who can install and repair Linux so that you only have to use the apps (Libreoffice, mail client...) GO TO LINUX WITHOUT SECOND THOUGHT And if you don't have and aren't willing to study, learn, try, repair Linux, FORGET ABOUT IT AND STICK TO WINDOWS

Hi LLodge, Thanks for your Video. Allways have worked with Xfce (Linux Mint 21) and very happy with it for reasons stands out. Whenever I install an OS virtual or contained I select it if available.

Been running Debian Testing for months. Stable and no issues so far.

I’ve noticed that every time people keep saying/selling how much better/great/wonderful... something is (especially when its over and over and...), their really trying to convince themselves, and/or they are Profiting Financially or Emotionally/Egotistically from it. So I don’t believe them. Especially if its an OS that requires installation, setup, configuration… to be done with the Text Based Archaic Command Line that MacroSUX proved was no longer required 3 Decades ago/Last Century. I live in the present, NOT The Past. Others need to try doing this also. I suggest you Wake Up and quit conning yourselves with rationalizations like 'WindBLOWS users don’t Want Security'… While Never Asking Us What We Do Want. (and Sure as Hell Not Trying To Provide Us What We Want. Its This Type of Thinking that has many other OS users looked at as Cultists.) As Benny Hill said, To Assume is to make an Ass out of U and Me. “Fist in the Air in the land of Hypocrisy” -Rage Against the Machine (Wake Up) What We Actually want (Since You Refuse To Ask) is an OS with the Benefits of “Linux” without needing to be a Power User that has to learn the Archaic Text Based Command Line BS, that Better Programmers have proven are no longer necessary. Case In Point: YES WindBLOWS 11 can be installed without Creating An Account with MacroSUX and Without the Need For A Command Line, just make the installation media using Rufus and the WindBLOWS ISO, and a few Clicks to make a Local Account on your machine (and other goodies) Sans Command Line. Good Programmers Keep Proving that Anything that can be done using a Command Line can be done with a few clicks in an app. MacroSUX doesn’t do this in WindBLOWS because they want to Control and Profit from their Users, long after the sale. Other OS’s refuse to do Power User things in the GUI due to Laziness and Elitism, they Love looking Down on WindBLOWS and its Users. They Intentionally Ignore the FACT that they Could set things up to do it Both Ways, GUI And Command Line, BUT That Would Take Effort, A Willingness To Help The Masses, and Wouldn’t Feed Their Egos. Hopefully some day other OS programmers will catch a Clue and Do this for Their OS’s, and prove they want their OS to Steal Away WindBLOWS Users, Instead of making Excuses while being Too Lazy to actually Put In The Effort to make theirs Welcome Everyone With An Easy To Install, Configure, and Use through a GUI, OS. Beating MacroSUX at their Own Game. AsOf Now, "Linux" doesn't Come Close as its based upon the Concepts Of Design and Security that were began in the 1960's with Unix. Ooops! “Reality, What A Concept!” -Robin Williams

Excelente video, efectivamente XFCE es excelente para nuevos, es el sistema perfecto para cualquier usuario en mi opinión. KDE es un poco inestable por el exceso de funciones innecesarias, Gnome al ser muy carente de personalización nativa y con un consumo de recursos innecesario, XFCE es la alternativa perfecta ya que no tiene excesos ni carencias.

You forgot Slackware as one of the originals still alive

Regardless of being a lightweight desktop environment, the features and capabilities of XFCE are closer to Gnome and Plasma, than to the other lightweight alternatives. And a top spot for stability and reliability as well!

I will continue to use Windows. And Mac. And Linux. I can't think of a good reason to limit myself to one OS.

I would love to only use Linux but I have written several programs in C# which are essential to my busines and to port them to Linux seems time consuming and simply not worth the effort.

Please make a video on how to install nvidia drivers on debian

Been on linux for 3 months (Debian stable + Plasma 5) and I've been thinking of distro-hopping but I'm probably more likely going to move over to Trixie, because I want newer packages.

Hi. My biggest concerns are all my downloaded files, movies, my channel videos, my downloaded pictures , which are on a portable hard drive, will be lost or unretrievable once i change my laptop to linux.

Been running Linux for ~2 years now. Started with Manjaro, now sticking with Arch and a Windows dualboot that I occasionally use for a certain college class. I won't call it "the best decision in my life", but I don't regret it one bit.

OpenSUSE leap неплохой аналог debian. Если скажем под простой ноут или ддя компьютера на дачу с xfce,lxde,lxqt,mate(правда работает плохо на хамелеоне). Так же неплохой вариант был Rosa Fresh из стабильных

Im still using Win 7, tried 10 and 11 and hate them, so when Win 7 dies completely, or when the programs and games i like stop working, i would like to try Linux

Nah. I've been running tinycore / microcore for 15 years now in 110mb of RAM. All your distros are bloated with tons of cruftware. You're just like MS, trying to get me to force me to throw out my old hardware and spend lots of money to upgrade. Just say no to massive ISOs.

Debian really messed up testing and sid, unless I missed a solution. Time 64 libraries will uninstall some applications, but are required to upgrade others.

I use both. But to be fair, if you debloat windows properly, with a powershell script and a decent firewall coupled with Mulvad VPN you're good to go. Also, you can skip the bloat when you install windows 11 by selecting the language to world.

i have been using Rocky Linux, it’s just fine.
