Linux Essentials - Beginner Crash Course (Ubuntu)

[@neilburns372]

I watched this video 2 weeks ago, and just landed my first job with Linux. My background is in welding, and I have very little tech training. Thank you so much Herbert!

[@swift23219]

Nice job. What kind of job did you land? just wondering what I can get out of learning linux.

This is awesome. I bought a ThinkPad yesterday for $50, wiped the drives and installed Linux on it. As a first time user this tutorial is fantastic. Thank you for the clear and concise lesson

[@krishnasashank6116]

Great video for a beginner! I used LINUX a couple of years ago for a college course and stopped after my course ended! Now, out of personal interest, I installed UBUNTU onto my own laptop and just wanted a refresher of the basic commands and this video was perfect for that! Thank you so much! Cheers!

[@Tony-dp1rl]

This video actually deserves a lot more Likes. It is a great little practical introduction, and one of the few that includes VS Code installation.

[@GeezerDust]

Excellent balance of information. Enough basics (essentials) to move many of us forward a giant step. Well worth the time. Thanks. (I just subscribed)

[@horaceflorea]

Hello Herbert, Just found this crash course and I love it. I followed some others but yours is by far the best. Congrats!

[@AlfonsoMonserrat-s4z]

Thank you brother. 3 years later this keeps helping

[@erikhendin3459]

I was using linux quite a bit but it has been a bit of time and I wanted a quick refresher and this was really very nicely explained. You are a good teacher with sensible info and down to earth approach. Thank you!

[@otismario]

Thanks @Herbetech. The over one hour video was worth it. Thanks 🎉

[@nyack666]

Now I know what I wanna do on my old laptop. Thanks man

[@arnas1280]

Great tutorial Herbert. I've been looking for simple explanation how linux working and your video is the best so far. Thanks.

[@buzzmattn6539]

Thank you Herbert! As a total noob in Linux, this gave me a great starting point!

[@nyontozel]

THANK YOU HERBERT! This is great! i'll watch this a couple of times until i am comfortable with the basic commands.

[@ashrule2034]

really wish I had found this when I was installing for the first time, great video!

[@AA7Productionz]

This is how a beginners course should, enough info to get going .

[@tastydolphinbrain]

Perfect level of instruction for me. Thank you!

[@citypopcorner5675]

Another great little tip is ctrl + l for clearing instead of typing clear :) thanks for the guide, found a few little nuggets I didn't know!

[@njabulosibiya9946]

Thank you Herbert, this is exactly what i needed to start off with linux. I'll be sure to put the advise you gave at the end of the video into practice cause i totally agree.

[@biagiopiraino7143]

Hi Herbert, really appreciate your contents on Linux, philosophy and way of teaching. I was wondering if you can make a video on creating some bash file to automate certain tasks on our machine. It may sound too broad (it depends on the task you want to perform at the end right?), but I am really looking forward to getting some new ideas (interesting, funny, functionals) to repeat on my machine. Thanks, good work!

[@Herbertech]

I will have a look at it. Been very focused on python, bash could use a refresher. 🙂

[@mohamudosmanali1219]

Thanks Herbert, you made Linux so simple with your great explanation. Amazing teacher.

[@trevrpeters]

Best Linux beginners instructional course I have come across. Thanks Bud.

[@motoryzen]

The very first things anyone should learn about using a PC be it winturd or Linux ..etc is how to backup and restore their machines...in multiple ways. Linux... I recommend Foxclone for drive clones and system image backups and restorations rsync if you're feeling comfy in the terminal. And want a way to do incremental backups....or Backup Tool in Linux Mint is basically the GUI version of rsync. Timeshift is mainly meant to just get your system backup to a bootable state but can work well tp bridge any small gaps versus Foxclone or another full backup tool. Remember target individual separate drives for each backup method to ensure no data loss...multiple targets..multiple backup methods ..all that data cushion is never a bad thing when you experiment and accidentally nuke something or an update decides to screw you over ( cough ..windows cough)

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

Excellent video! I'm someone who uses Windows for work so completely moving to Linux wasn't an option. I ended up buying another 1TB M.2 and made that Linux so if I wanna game or do anything Windows dependent, I can just boot into that. I've completely switched to Pop!OS on KDE Plasma and that's my daily driver.

[@ASADHARARIVID1]

This is the best and simple to follow video on KZbin. Thanks fam

[@a.c.2659]

so easy to understand and like the genuine advices, this vid is amazing

[@SharronV]

What is the correct pronunciation for Ubuntu? Is it ooh - boon - too as I was told or ooh- bun- too as pronounced in this video? Does it make a difference how it’s pronounced?

[@kathleenhensley5951]

my husband and I always called Ubuntu "bunny" because we got tired of trying to figure out how to pronounce its' name.

[@uyanwunechekwube5563]

This is a fascinating, well explained guide to Linux for absolute beginners like myself. Tonnes of good information been served in the simplest form. Thank you Herbert

[@prachirahate1631]

Thank You so much, I finally feel a bit confident using Linux and don't get scared of it as before. Really, it was worth it.

I'm just here learning how to use Linux and maybe learn how to code with shell. Very good tutorial

Thanks Herbert!! Great video, just installed Ubuntu on an older laptop yesterday and this really helped!

[@lazarusrize]

You are a very good teacher. Thank you for your knowledge. This is great! Linux is awesome!! 😀👍🏻

Thanks, brother, I needed the basics. This is a great start.

[@syaoranpt]

Great video, man! It is as you say, we learn by doing, but your introduction already opened a lot of doors. ;)

[@daphnesupplee9237]

your voice was very pleasant and this video helped me a lot. Thank you very much.

Amazing job my friend. Thank you

[@RobertSpiller]

I'm so eager to learn Linux...Edge has highjacked my laptop, and I don't like anyone to put their desires on me, without my ok. SoB this and other videos i will be taking notes and hopefully in a few days, Microsoft Edge/Bing off my system. Got a question...I have an external drive, can I use it instead of a flash drive?

[@JNCHRH]

Thank you, very good description. However, would appreciate if you zoom in to the area you work in, e.g. making the text in Terminal readable.

[@Herbertech]

Thanks for your feedback. I will keep that in mind for next time.

[@kollsepta]

Linux is cool, and I wish I had started learning it alongside windows, but I kept dropping it, but I finally decided to actually try this time around. but before that I want to rant about something. Why people keep going back to windows after days or even just some hours on linux : you, have, no, idea, how much I struggled with my dual monitor setup..... there is always something not working when I decide to try out linux, first it was my headset some years ago, then my microphone, then my display resolution, and now after changing back and forth from windows and linux I decided to give it a shot once again, so... I installed manjaro cuz I like how it looks (yeye sue me), but my second monitor was stuck at 24hz and I knew how to change it with xrandr but I didn't know how to make it permanent, looked around and people just said "make a script" ye right, like I know how to do it, so I searched and tried to make one, didn't work, 6 hours in and I could't figure it out, kept searching but in every sentence I red online there was always something I din't have the smallest idea of what they were, like bash and stuff like that, (which I know its something simple, for you, but I have never heard of it) so I gave up, booted up to windows again on my other ssd and downloaded pop os, I read somewhere it was user friendly, well...... my monitor is still stuck at 24hz, so I keep searching, and boom, somehow, I got it to work, I rebooted to make sure it stayed, and..... my displays are switched, the one on the left is supposed to be on the right, and when I changed it in setting it always resets it but I didn't wan't to give up, so I kept on going, I was not gonna give up again, so... another 2 hours go by, and I don't know how many files I changed, how many stuff I installed, and how many commands I wrote, but I finally got it to work! But ..... not everyone has the patience to go through this.... I spent roughly 10-12 hours on this problem alone (counting installing the OS), I could have spent that time, instaling windows, getting my drivers ready, installing all my essential apps, getting around 200GB worth of games and still have some hours left to play them, and this is why, people go right back to windows, I will try using linux as my main operating system for watching videos work and gaming, only going back to windows to play unsupported games like league and some others, hopefully I will come to learn my way around it without getting unmotivated.

[@johnmun1471]

thank you for the best class. Herbert.👍

[@yannmonnier4291]

Great tutorial ! I learn a lot. BUT: the Visual Studio font size is on the video is too small. It was quite hard to read the commands.

[@Mr.Silenttt]

What do I do if I go to click install Ubuntu and it says I don’t have enough space ? I’m using virtual box too! I can always do the try without installing option

[@louaguado995]

I don't like the Gnome Unity desktop. It seems to be better suited for tablets, or blind people with it's large icons. For beginners, especially those coming from Windows, I think one of the Ubuntu spins are better. Lubuntu, Xubuntu, or Kubuntu are very Windows like with a menu instead of large icons. MX Linux, Linux Mint, and Zorin are also great for beginners.
