Two tips I found extremely helpful in the beginning are: 1. Try everything you learn on a test system, don't just read or watch things. 2. Write things down, even if you think you understood them. It can never hurt to have a quick reference when you forgot something.

[@CrazyCat229]

Same thing in IT in general. Either that or record what someone is showing you on video call or whatever so you can always come back to it if you get stuck. I have no problem telling someone how to do somthing the 2-3 times, but ffs after that it needs to have been wirtten down or recorded. I had a co worker once come back from a long break of about 4-5 months and she forgot how do everything in the SOC.

[@Ironbull200]

@@CrazyCat229 Exactly. That's what I've done in my job as well and it just works. For example, I asked an experienced coworker how to do certain things once, sometimes twice and I wrote down what they told me. That way, I can always come back to my notes and remind myself without having to ask someone again and again. And eventually, I can do it without my notes.

On the "have fun" subject I started the OverTheWire CTFs some time ago and I find it a really fun way to learn to feel at ease in CLI, learning to use one or two commands at a time and if you're stuck there are lots of writeups to teach you what to do

[@Jeff_Seely]

This video really is terrific.The channel never loses it's vision and that is learning linux, of course. I have learned more from this channel than anywhere else. I'd say if people are a bit green, they can find what they are looking right here. But Linux just isn't for the lazy user. You must read. I would not use the term RTFM because it is offensive and profane but the point does apply. You must read the docs. Some reading really stinks but most documentation has the answer you are looking for. You just have to use Linux a lot and stay positive because you are going to come across the jerks, especially in the forums. Take it in stride because even the jerks usually help in between their sermons and even vitreol. They are never nice and I wished that would change. Happy computing and be blessed! Thanks Jay!

[@Raftzard]

As a new linux user, I am struggling. I've been learning linux for 2 or 3 months. Since there was no rush, I am learning because I just want to, the only pressure that I am suffering is from myself. Arriving form windows and acknowledging everything linux brings is very hard, at first. Thank you for this video!!!

[@berrywin]

After using all major Linux distros since 15 years I can only say, Keep your windows OS!. I've had so many problems with under performing systems, nonworking printer drivers missing drivers for Capture card an so on. The only place Linux is motivated is on a server e.g raspberry pi as a camera surveillance tool or a web server. I couldn't even watch KZbin HD videos with Linux Mint on a Intel Nuc computer. It had a very choppy video with about 3000 frames missing from about 6000. AN old Mac performs perfectly under these conditions. And if you ever want to do more advanced auto analyzes, you have to stick to Windows. Linux is just to small on the desktop to be interesting for hardware manufactures to release decent drivers. But if you want to learn Linux just go for it But don't expect any miracles. Some people say their old computers got a New life with Linux which in my opinion is nonsense. On all computers I've worked with Windows performs the best. And I haven't even mentioned Gaming!

[@Raftzard]

@@berrywin darn, sir. It seems tough. I recently tried debian 12 on a very old (but good) asus laptop and had no major issues. Off course, I don't use it daily but it passed the basic tests. Thx for the info!

[@clockblower6414]

"Linux Operating System - Crash Course for Beginners" by freecodecamp gave me a great headstart. I split it up doing only a few commands at a time and referred back to it every time i needed to remember something. My advice is try to use the terminal for as much as you can. The only time i open a GUI file manager is for the auto-detection of USB drives since they get unique identifiers in /run/media/$whoami/whatever. The biggest jump in knowledge came from installing Arch "the hard way", daily driving it, and using and configuring a window manager. Through that, you learn about what services you need enabled and end up being or knowing how to be a terminal centric user. I am not a developer just a normal person who uses linux

[@donaldmickunas8552]

Linux can be finicky depending on the hardware you are using. I had a bad experience on an Assus laptop as well ( piece of junk). I’m using a couple of Dell Optiplex 990s with Linux and FreeBSD without issue. I have also found that some distros run better on one piece of hardware rather than another. Get a refurbished computer known to be Linux friendly and have fun. Keep the Windows system for gaming and any other tasks that you cannot do with Linux currently. Don’t Quit! Nothing worth doing is easy. Play with Linux and have fun. Try different distros until you find one that appeals to you. Don’t be surprised if your taste in distros changes as you learn more. Windows has its uses. Macs have their uses. Linux has its uses. Some use all three for specific use cases. Hang in there and follow the excellent advice on this video.

[@audiolatroushearetic1822]

@@Raftzard Debian is pretty hard for a newcomer although it may look tame from the outside. I use it myself at the moment after many years on Ubuntu/Lubuntu and for the most part driver-implementation and package-management is much more reasonable and user friendly on Ubuntu. Of course on Debian all the additional graphics drivers are available as well, but you have to install the right versions from the right sources and implement them yourself and sometimes the software dependencies aren't resolved as expected. You have to know what you're doing or try and hope that your display server doesn't break (as happened to me when I tried to install Nvidia-driver not long ago). Besides that I love my experience on Debian but I wouldn't recommend it to new-to-Linux users. Only if you actually NEED the stability (if you know what to do and not to do) and customizibility, I would reccomend it to you. But stability and peace from constant updates where as a beginner you don't know what they do, shouldn't be the priorities of new users in my opinion. Whereever your journey might go, I would like to give you these advices: Try to learn on the go about the basic principles and and elements of your OS like the shell, the packages, the config-files, the file-system and that there are log-files. You don't have to be proficient in all of those things in the beginning, just that they are there and do stuff. Think about what software you need for your everyday usecases and look for what suits you best. Then try to learn about that software and discard programs from your base install you hardly ever use. Don't be discouraged when stuff or your whole installation breaks. In most cases the reasons are pretty trivial and either you learn how to fix them or, if you don't have the time at the moment, let it go and set up your machine new (and do regular back ups before that). When you are on another distro or desktop environment you will see, that these basics are largely the same on every Linux-distro and you will know where to start especially if you learn more and more in the process. I wish you all the best!

I've watched lots of your videos, and I find them extremely informative. I don't normally comment, but this time I wanted to say thank you.

[@noxx82]

i have been using linux for 25y. this is one of the best pieces of advice i have heard when it comes to new users who want to get into linux. especially because there is a lot of bad advice for new users out there. a lot of gatekeeping. a lot of flamewars regarding distros or desktop environments. sometimes i get the feeling the general view on linux is, that its some sort of obscure craft only the smartest of the smartest are able to learn and finally reach arch or gentoo like sensei status. and its just not thank you.

[@luk3z517]

So what distro can you recommend for: novice, normal, advanced, professional, admin users ?

[@noxx82]

@@luk3z517 for new users: debian stable, ubuntu lts or mint. mainly because of market share, which makes it easy to find help and tutorials online. other great choices are fedora or open suse. for servers my goto atm is debian stable. it just works. centos was great too. for minimalists and ppl who like to tweak the system and tinker a lot: gentoo, arch or nixos. just pick one, stay with it for a couple of weeks until you run into issues, limitations or are just curious how another distro does stuff. there is no 'wrong' distro really.

[@WalterPetrovic]

I am happy to hear that you go back and review your own books when you forget something. I do the same because none of us have steel trap minds. We all rely too much on muscle memory and when we suddenly need something, we know that we know it, but can't recall the details. You have a great teaching style. Thanks.

[@ikirules]

I started in my Linux journey with my old computer, now it has proxmox on it and running some containers and vms for learning purpose, I'm still on the learning curve, but with solid knowledge because all of what I learned will be useful for me in the future, for now, I learned about networking more in deep (my main career), containers, programing, scripts, servers, hardware, etc. Having a homelab is a game change for learn and go for certifications. All what you do is in the same place, don't affect directly your main machine and you can improve your time for learning something, whatever you do, is safe on your homelab, but is always a good option to have a goo backup plan if something really goes wrong :D

[@kevinshumaker3753]

I always suggest using an old PC/laptop to practice with, or set up a virtual environment on your primary PC. This way, you can try a setup, wipe it, and try again, with no fear of loss. Another item is to get a spiral notebook to take notes in. You'll thank yourself down the road... I run VirtualBox on several machines to test different things even if there are only enough resources for a single virtual machine, and also on my homelab server.

Currently 6 months into daily driving Debian stable, after 20+ years using windows. I did use SUSE (which I bought, on a CD, from a SHOP no less!) and also #! back in the day, and I must say the overall experience is much improved from then! I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed the extensibility and modularity of linux distros! i heartily agree that learning slow and on the go is the way forward. I haven't run into a situation yet where I need to know what sed or awk or whatever is, but I have learned how to navigate the file system, how to manage packages, and am falling more and more in love with my terminal, and the gnome environment (though, I am also flirting with the idea of installinh a wm instead...)

[@donaldmickunas8552]

As you get more into using the terminal, you’ll start learning about scripting. Sed and awk are great tools when you want to automate some changes you want to make to some documents. Not the kind of stuff the typical computer user gets in to. Just have fun.

...another GREAT VIDEO from Learn Linux TV. Thanks,, Jay.

[@RoyBirk]

Thank you. You make some good suggestions. I especially like the homelab idea, although I question why it requires what looks like a server rack when any old laptop can be turned into a server. (Or am I wrong?) I still think it would be beneficial to offer some basic suggestions: How to learn Linux? Use certain books? Access certain websites? Take formal courses through the Linux Foundation or Coursera? Take a class at the local community college? KZbin video after KZbin video? How about Bash scripting? (There's a free book for that, but it's a lot to work through.)

[@helloimatapir]

You (and Jay) already answered your first question. You can use an old laptop, desktop, an SBC, or buy a used rack and put your own drives in it to start a server. There are many possibilities. As to your second point, I think the best way to learn Linux is just to dive in head first. Pick a distro, start exploring, and find what interests you. From there, look up stuff online or on KZbin.

[@Creativesucks]

In regards to #2, I abandoned Windows and joined Team Penguin in April. I've been daily driving Mint and my learning speed corresponds to my curiosity. I don't try to learn things simply for the sake of knowing. I look things up after my mind poses the question. "I wonder if..." "Can I ..." "How do I..." Sometimes I go a few weeks just using my computer as I always do without a 2nd thought to what OS I'm using and other times I'll spend almost an entire day off work researching, watching videos, and whatnot because I'm trying to figure out how to do a thing that I realized I wanted or saw in a video that day.

[@ImpEpitaph]

The biggest flex is using your own books to bring you up to speed. Basically using your notes, but your notes are so good that someone published them. After Video Edit: I 100000000% agree with making sure something is fun and if not taking a break from it. I landed a role as a Network Administrator, and put so much stress on myself to become a Network Engineer to the point to where I didn't enjoy the work (or pursing certifications i.e. CCNP). It showed me that I needed to just take time to let things soak in. I'm currently studying for Linux+/LPIC-1 (haven't decided which one) and have not stressed about any of it since I am having fun and learning to actually know it.

[@didzisuzulins2092]

Extra tips on first advice. If your computer have enough RAM (16GB or more), you can try installing distribution in Virtual Machine. Also if you have an old PC or Laptop, you are not using on daily bases, you may try installing distribution on it. Most Linux distribution support older hardware. It may serve as an initial step toward starting your homelab. :-)

[@user-um7dz5jm2x]

But all distribution perfects work on 4-8 gb RAM.

[@donaldmickunas8552]

One thing that I do is play with what I am learning. I start experimenting with a package or command. Will it do this? What will happen if I try it this way. It is fun and I pick up little tidbits that aren’t in the documentation. That is one of the ways I have fun.

[@wyktron]

love you man!

[@jacksoncremean1664]

to add more onto your 3rd tip. you don't know the situation of someone who may be better than you, nobody starts from the same place and finishes at the same place. They may have had better resources then you did, had more time than you, etc. and who knows, maybe that person who your comparing yourself to isn't as knowledgeable as you think they are and you'll end up being more knowledgeable than that person in a few years.

First rule of I t is learn how to back it up multiple ways and destinations Second rule of IT is. Back it up multiple ways and to multiple destinations Third rule practice restoring from all of those backups Fourth rule have fun because now the learning experience goes from being a crisis. That would normally involve data loss to a medium or minor inconvenience. When you eventually make a mistake The first three rules of I t in my opinion are very applicable to the entire point of having a life financial emergency fund in place. That turns a crisis into an inconvenience 😉 Time shift Fox clone.. The list goes on

[@Jrambo51]

I think one tip you could have said is the MAN pages, i find them very helpful with command line information. Thanks jay.

[@donaldmickunas8552]

In my experience, the man pages are a mixed bag. As a new Linux user, the man pages were more a source of confusion than anything else. As my knowledge has grown and I have learned how to effectively navigate them, they have become more useful. Early on, I had people throw the man pages at me and tell me to read them. That did not work for me and that experience turned me off to the man pages for a long time. I’ve found KZbin videos to be more helpful as an introduction to an area that I have zero background in. In no way is this meant to disparage your positive experience with the man pages. Everyone learns differently. Any resource may be the absolute best source of knowledge for one person while it may be totally useless for another person. Each of us needs to find what works best for us individually.

[@Jrambo51]

@@donaldmickunas8552 i agree with people learning in different ways. I am learning through freecodecamp with their linux tutorial and have found man pages useful. They also have a 50 most common linux commands which i would like to learn. I want to pass the LIPC essentials tests and then go on to the professional tests in which jay said i would need to memorize to pass. Along way from that though.

[@Gener21839]

10:28 I didn't understand the part where he says that Linux isn't an operating system and it's a platform. Does someone explain that? I don't see it after searching.

[@audiolatroushearetic1822]

Linux in the strict sense is just the Kernel or the core of the operating system and it's just responsible for all physical components of your computer to work and that they are able to speak to each other, to take input and give output. Everything else including the most basic user interface that lets you work and communicate with your computer in a sensible way is build around and on top of that kernel and the developers of different desktop environments choose different software or build their own to let you do that. The channels to speak with the kernel are also relatively narrow and mostly restricted for the normal user. So in that sense Linux is just a "platform". I think nobody would argue that Android on smartphone, Debian and Nix-Os for instance are vastly different operating systems, although technically they use the same Linux-kernel. That's a complete diametrical paradigm than what we are used from Windows, because this "OS" is a convoluted mess that lets you interact with the core components without issues and over a vast surface (like deleting drivers and vital libraries in the file browser 😫).

[@donaldmickunas8552]

Most OSs include the utilities and basic software for a person to use it. Linux really doesn’t. As the other comment said, Linux is basically the kernel. Virtually all of the tools you use to do things in terminal come from the GNU project. Normally, these would be part of the core operating system. So, Jay calls it a platform. I hadn’t heard it referred to that way before but it makes sense to me. Having said all that, the vast majority of people think of Linux as an Operating System. While I see where calling it a platform better reflects what it really is, it isn’t worth getting into a big debate about it, in my opinion anyway for what that is worth. 😂

I embrace change every day, but I just can't get past what the Gnome devs are trying to do with some things.

[@donaldmickunas8552]

Linux is changing. It will continue to change. I’m not a gnome fanboy either. However, there are other options. Use what works best for you. You cannot change the gnome devs. Getting upset over their antics is a waste of time and energy better put toward something that will give you a positive return.

[@audiolatroushearetic1822]

You don't have to. You may try a different desktop environment that doesn't break your customizations and work flow at every major update. Xfce and KDE come to my mind. With a little effort you can emulate your usual work flow and surroundings there with a bit of configuration. I for myself use LXQt with Openbox for years even on beefier machines. It may be a bit minimalist for most people, but I have a hand full of config-files I regularely back-up and I am good to go on every machine I'll set up in the future. It's a good thing to learn about and know the software you use regularely and in my experience, more minimalist and software-agnostic desktop environments make this process much easier. And if that's to little change for you, you may learn new software tools and how to implement them into your custom environment! Have fun!

Well then I'll say not everyone is arrogant. But if you insist on being a dingbat then go and stay with Windows.

@@korrupted80 Well, if you insist on saying Linux is as good as Windows, shut up and prove it. Oh, that's right, you are decentralized and only want to be independent while the people you dupe into using Linux suffer. You have no central control and everybody does their own thing. Smart.

I'm on my other monitor seeing that raspberry pis are sold out when I glance over and see 12 right here. My first thought was, "Oh, there they are!" haha

I liked the name Linode more than Akamai.
