Brisk Menu An Alternative Start Menu For Mate.

I love the vibe of this channel. I love that you are inside a window. It creates retrotech composition.

[@johnquest82]

yes!

her videos are so relaxing

[@imbenzenker]

I’ve been watching her recently to help me sleep. Not that her content is boring, but it’s relaxing enough to calm the noise in my brain

[@W_P_A]

@@imbenzenker Indeed, her videos make you feel calm and relaxed.

[@Charlie-Em]

I'm loving the power of your Afro.

[@shellz831]

Yet another thing she have in common with Bob Ross.

[@KuleGuy27]

Linux Mint is such a good distro

[@AndreaBorman]

Yes it is and the Brisk Menu also works on Linux Mint Mate.

[@Cobeta-beta]

Doesn't she use's Debian?

[@SpacePoodle]

@@Cobeta-beta As far as I know, she uses Debian with Mate Desktop.

[@Cobeta-beta]

@@SpacePoodle yeah, she surely is.

[@W0ND3RB0Y1]

You randomly popped up on my feed. I don't really use Linux, but this is some cozy content. Nice!

[@kderah]

Never to late to start, remember you can always go back to Windows

[@W0ND3RB0Y1]

@@kderah can't unfortunately.. Most things I do and programs I use, simply don't run on Linux.. Or the plugins don't..

Hi Andrea, Thank for you videos. I'm Mauricio West from Argentina/Buenos Aires/Junin. I'm Teacher in informatic in highs schools and universities of my countrys. Your videos are very usfeull for me to learn more over linux. I too uses Linux mint and love it, but I have to learn more than it.

[@seditiouswalrus]

Love the info and how chill your videos are. LMDE is my daily driver as well.

[@AndreaBorman]

You can also change the desktop on LMDE from Cinnamon to Mate or another desktop if you want. I have also tried Linux Mint LMDE with different desktop environments. They all work.

[@HolyMolyDoughnutShop-s]

the 'Dash' Start menu is great for people like me how are used to ubuntu

[@AndreaBorman]

There is an option to add the Unity Style Menu in the control Center but when I installed it is didn't work at all. The Brisk Menu has this menu as an option as well as the dark theme. You can also move the search bar from the top to the bottom of the menu. Though you can only change this in Dconf Editor. The settings are not in the Brisk Menu itself as they are with the Mint Menu.

Hello Grandma. Keep on. And Warm greetings from Karakalpakstan Republic

[@appledashponi]

Never knew about Brisk Menu, you're really starting to interest me in customizing my desktop environment that's been the same for 10 years :-)

[@AndreaBorman]

It's in the Synaptic Package Manager in both Linux Mint and Debian. It's also the default menu in Ubuntu Mate.

[@markb6506]

Love your videos Andrea! Wish I had discovered this channel earlier, I neede to learn how to use linux for my last job, your channel would make that much easier!

[@YE2K.]

You are an inspiration to me! I love your videos, I love the sound of your mouse. On the other hand, you are tempting me to go from Gnome to MATE. greetings from Chile💚

[@thedavymac]

Thank you Andrea. Without you I wouldn’t have explored desktop customization as much as I have lately. Much appreciate your videos!

[@salehmir9205]

Dear Andrea, If you delete some of your old videos that aren't related to the topics you are covering these days, you will get more views for your channel. Look it up; I learned it somewhere. Best of luck to you, and please continue making your amazing tutorials.

[@AndreaBorman]

I used to be a Windows user before I changed to Linux. So I think the old videos of how to tweak Windows and install things are useful to anyone who is on Windows. All right most people are now using Windows 10 or 11 and my older videos are mostly about Windows XP, Vista Windows 7 and 8. But some of those tweaks still work on Windows 10 and maybe 11. Not everyone wants to or is ready to switch to Linux. Some people are still using Windows 7 or 8.1 because they hate Windows 10. Although that is not advisable as both are end of life. A lot of Linux users like me are ex-Windows users. Microsoft has changed Windows so much with Windows 10 and 11. So much so that a lot of people like myself don't want to use it anymore because staying on Windows 7 is no longer an option. Yes Linux is much better and it does have many of the features that Windows users who are looking for an alternative to Windows 10 and 11 want. But not everyone wants to give up Windows.

[@salehmir9205]

@@AndreaBorman Thank you, Andrea, for such a detailed reply. But I didn't mean your Windows videos. I meant like some of the personal videos. Because to get better views, it helps if the channel is focused on one topic only. And some of the old videos can bring down the rating of the channel when it comes to getting recommended. Like I said, if you look this up, you will find lots of videos about this concept. Although in your case, I'm not sure if it's that important because one great point about your channel is that you're a person who's doing this because you like it. You're not trying too hard like the others to grab the attention of everyone. You don't look desperate like many. So maybe your old videos also add to the charm. I don't know. I mean, you brought this channel to this level. You know best. In any ways, I wish you the best of luck.

[@OpenTechInstitute]

@@AndreaBorman Kudos for great content. For anyone considering migrating from Windows to Linux, you are an inspiration!

Hi Andrea! Couple of years I created an album and short manifesto about the deteriorating state of the internet called landslides in cyberspace. It's here on youtube uploaded by other channels. I thought it might interest you, since you seem to advocate similar things. Have a very nice day! Videos like yours give hope.

[@Aku-Signal]

Could you do a review of Solus XFCE? It's rolling release and very stable! XFCE has the Whisker menu. Also lots of customisation possible with the Whisker menu and XFCE desktop in general. (Posted on Wed 26 June 2024 at 17:10 UTC)

[@defectiveadhd92]

can you do more linux stuff regarding security ? like how to add user , groups, difference between user and non-user , how to take care of /etc/passwd files

[@AndreaBorman]

On Linux it's pretty much the same as Windows regarding user accounts. There is the administrator account which gives you the control to do anything on the system. Or most things anyway. There is the standard account where users can use the web browsers and software. and have access to their own files. But they cannot install any software or updates or make any changes to they system. Then there is the root account which is like the hidden administrator account on Windows. Which you sometimes need to use as administrator if you want to make some changes to the system or copy files to the programs folder. You can also log in as root if you need to make some changes that cannot be done as administrator. Though you should not do this unless you have to. You have to enable the root account yourself and set a password for it. But I only use it to place programs such or themes in the system folders which can only be done as root. Like I did when I installed Palemoon Browser for example.

[@1centimetre]

It's fast, simple, and gets out of the way so you can focus on what you need to do. Too bad I can't get that on a standard Windows 11 install.

[@hackorcheats6129]

Can you install lumina desktop environment on your Linux Mint (or Debian if I wrong :v)?

[@jr7853]

What was the first Linux distro you ever used? Meine was redhat 5.2. Line your videos.

[@AndreaBorman]

The very first one I tried was Ubuntu back in 2010 but none of the WiFi drivers worked. Also the appearance was nothing like Windows so I tried Linux Mint 9 Gnome. That seemed to work best at the time but I still used Windows. Back then Linux was not as user friendly as it is now. Also I didn't know enough about how to use it back then. I now use Linux full time and find Linux Mint the best one. Also Debian is the one I am using a lot now. It's very similar to Linux Mint I think. With a few differences of course but if you know how to use Ubuntu you will be able to use Debian. Since both are very much the same. Debian 11 and 12 both come with drivers installed so you don't have to do anything. Everything should work out of the box the same as it does on Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
