[@liesdamnlies3372]

@Jean-Paul Teitu II "Easily" Yeah, compared to Linux, Windows permissions are a convoluted mess.

[@liesdamnlies3372]

@Jean-Paul Teitu II I'll admit that when it comes from administration of a system, it's _partly_ personal opinion. In my own experience, I've always found managing permissions on Linux much easier and much less prone to weirdness; the differences in the determination of what files are executable comes to mind. Don't get me wrong; Windows does have very powerful tools for managing permissions across domains with group policies and the like, I'm talking more about the foundation its built on. The Unix philosophy of keeping things simple just...works. If the only thing someone is comfortable with using is a GUI, then yeah, Windows often wins. (Sysadmins only being comfortable with using a GUI is a whole other problem unto its own that I won't get into here.) In the specific context of this conversation though, the biggest difference is how Unix systems and their derivatives (typically) handle privilege escalation. UAC is a patch on top of what is a very shaky foundation; Microsoft did it out of desperate necessity. Unix and its derivatives start from the principle of least privilege (a _very_ important security principle in any context, be it computer security, physical security, OPSEC, etc.). It's baked-in, as a sensible default. If I'm logged-into an administrator account on Linux, _nothing_ that I'm doing actually has admin privileges yet. To the system, I am a regular user. To do anything with escalated privileges my account first needs to be part of the sudo group (a group of users allowed to _temporarily_ do something with root permissions...ish, even this may be restricted in certain contexts). The _vast_ majority of applications can do their tasks perfectly well without any sort of root permissions. Not so on Windows. Because of a wide variety of edge cases, and as I would call it "general weirdness", sometimes applications trying to do something that _wouldn't_ need any sort of root permissions on a Unix-like system require it on Windows. And I don't mean that in a "Windows is more restrictive in a good way" thing; I mean that as "Windows doesn't give this software a good way to operate without these privileges." That's what I really mean when I say it's a mess. UAC is a patch on something that is fundamentally flawed, and Windows didn't start with the principle of least privilege. Throughout its entire history, this has been a consistent problem when it comes to vulnerability to exploitation. I'm not saying Unix derivatives are immune to privilege escalation exploits, I'm just saying they're less common and that comes-down to fundamental design.

It opened Pandora's Box for me as I had always loved opening things to see what makes them work and usually not knowing how to put them back together lol. Needless to say my Parents weren't too thrilled with me doing that. My previous employer (HR Block) were upgrading their computers and were selling the old ones for $20. "Formatted". Came "cleaned" with MS-DOS 4 or something. The most entertaining thing on it was the gorilla and snake BAS games. A tech buddy of mine started teaching me basic DOS commands. I was hooked and started teaching myself more and more. Got stuck in the Microsoft era and did manage to teach myself HTML, JScript, VBScript.. CSS the works along with PHP. Most of my fun time was spent doing malicious things though that stage passed. I still tinker with Kali , Parrot and Whonix too. Got comfortable with Windows that when I finally needed to say goodbye and upgrade I was poorer than dirt living with a buddy. I decided to try this scary Linux thing because it was free. I never looked back :) I finally decided to go to a trade school for IT diploma .. I graduated and one of the things I heard a lot was "UGHHH.. Linux.. " Go ask Nick (me). lol. My carpool buddy failed her 902 exam due to Linux command line questions. On one of my externships I refurbished an abandoned Dell and installed Ubuntu (my personal fav). I gave it to my Daughter since I started teaching her Linux too. Told her just that. It's a skill you will WOW people with. Great video :) Good luck with the Linux adventure. I need to dust off my web design skills. They have been sitting on the shelf too long and with the introduction of this AJAX stuff I have a lot to catch up on. If only ISP's didn't block port 80 anymore and Free DNS servers weren't so hard to find to park a domain, life would be great. :D

I can fix a lot of problem but using the longer method which is outsourcing the coding stuff from websites and forums because I just didnt know it by heart. Watching this video just reminded me of something I knew but just wanted to suppress for whatever self-sabotaging reasons. I am installing updates so linux can run on my windows 10. I am committing to learning this because it will help me customize my software experience in the creative world. a lot of creative apps let you customize the use of there apps with coding. and understanding the basics of linux can help improve my workflow.

[@mcNakno]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

[@NetworkChuck]

Agreed, and thank you. You see, I could have said all that.....but I would have lost everyone...so I just said "Linux".

no, linux operates the system therefore linux is the operating system. and there is at least 2 linux distros that don't contain any gnu software what so ever alpine linux and android. so no linux is not just a component of the gnu system but rather the other way around, gnu is the components and linux is the operating system. the logic behind this makes as much sense as calling a vehicle (the tire brand) / (the vehicle model) because the vehicle couldn't possibly operate without the tires. you don't see people calling their fords , goodyear/ford (something or other)

[@kneekoo]

​@@logangraham2956 The kernel of an operating system is a mandatory *component*. But the kernel alone doesn't make for a full operating system. Put any kernel on a PC and see what you can accomplish with it - nothing. You first need a boot loader (like GNU GRUB), then you need other software along the kernel, so the hardware can be useful in any way at all. Just because a number of operating systems don't use the GNU tools, along with the Linux kernel, it doesn't mean that you should use them as an example to talk about the whole family of GNU/Linux operating systems. And that's exactly where it makes sense to say "GNU/Linux" - when referring to the family. Other than that, it's pedantic non-sense. I use Linux Mint, which is just one of the hundreds of operating systems in the GNU/Linux family. I also use Ubuntu and Debian, so there you go - that's the OS. We certainly can't call the Windows sysadmins idiots for not calling their OS "NT" just because that's what "operates the system". No matter how important, the kernel is still a component of the OS. You can't have one without it, but that doesn't make it the OS. And people should just use the OS name given by whoever made the OS, and stop discussing the kitchen sink already.
