Awesome video, wish I had this terminology available when getting into GNU/Linux, until now I more or less just had to guess and figure it out for myself. Another piece of Jargon I'd love to see explained is Desktop Environment, at least as someone coming from Windows where we don't have a choice to pick one, so we really didn't think about this consciously.

Flavour is like Ubunut with different DE (user interfaces). But it is the same distribution, Ubuntu in this case. That could be said with all Distribution. Except for Debian, where you can select one or more DE or Window managers when you install. So you have all in the same Flavour. The strength of X11 is that it also can serve graphics over network, and have this as a core part of X11 since the begining. I used that since around 1986-1988.

I picked the wrong package in the AUR when installing Brave. Spent an hour compiling it only to have it crash when it ran out of space on the disk. Installing the binary was a lot simpler.

For big programs, in the AUR always look for "program-name-bin" instead of just "program-name". The "-bin" part means binary. Otherwise, you are probably compiling.

Well, I've learned something! The terminal and shell difference is interesting. I had a hunch that there would be a difference since they're both different words but could not pinpoint why. It would make sense that the terminal(aka the console screen) is the program that allows you to run other programs by typing text. Meanwhile, the shell is the program _inside_ the terminal that allows you to run other programs!

[@liorean]

According to my OS course, the shell is actually much more than just the *command shell* such as bash. They divided the types of software in five main types: firmware which is the software that gets the hardware into an operable state, the OS consisting of mainly privileged kernel providing a hardware-software interface and unprivileged shell providing a software-user interface, drivers which is any hardware-software interface abstraction (or simulation) that can be either part of the OS or not, and then applications, which are the unprivileged programs by which a user (which can be either application or human) interacts with the OS. They especially noted that a graphical display system most definitely is a part of an OS shell, and the term is far older than the interactive terminal command shells, and actually started being used about the switchboards on the outside shell of the room-sized machine by which the programmer entered the program to be loaded very early in the history of computers. Though to be fair, if you're talking Linux terminology in specific and not OS terminology in general, that hardly is relevant.

[@nicio1393]

Thanks for the clarification, needed an overview on some terminology.

[@BinaHejazi]

[@marufbepary100]

The shells on Windows are PowerShell and Command Prompt. The Desktop Environment on Windows (according to task manager) is Windows Shell Experience. There was a display server as well but I couldn't find it anymore in the task manager. My point is that these things are not Linux specific, Windows has them too but on Windows you can't change or configure them so there is no point talking about them.

[@sagewatts2169]

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation. Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ. One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you? (An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example. Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it. You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument. Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD? If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this: Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag. Thanks for listening.

An isssue I take when discussing command-line things is how we do not delineate between terminal and terminal _emulator._ Terminal emulators are what you use with a display server so you do not need to fall out of X or Wayland to interface via commands. Sometimes, they'll have multiplexing features built into them, similar to if running tmux by itself but using GTK or Qt to do it in a parent window.

[@enrott8560]

When you install arch Linux you load up the iso file on USB and boot into it you will be greeted with nothing but black screen with text, there is only a bash shell. You are expected to install format and partition drives using nothing but your keyboard there is no mouse cursor at all you will have to connect to the internet using a command, and download X11 or wayland with a command and install whatever desktop with a command. Basically X11 and Wayland is what allows you to use a mouse and click things. It is the only way you can do anything graphical like play games or use a browser or have a background image or even images of any kind. If you didn't install X11 or wayland and tried to use a desktop environment you would be met with errors because your PC will have no idea what a GUI even is and only understands text. X11 and/or Wayland translates the pixels so your screen can show images etc... I hope that helps you understand.

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux." The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long." With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Guys ..

All that just fucks with new users cause they feel its rocket science (while it should be fun) I honestly like the systemd approach now .. it has many functions which dont need to have a destinct name That frees up brain processing power
