You know what is funny? I have an Asus Xonar Essence STX card that Windows has never detected (from Windows Vista forward). I have always had to download the drivers for it and install them. Every single Linux Distribution has always found it and it works out of the box.
I have a few Chinese webcams/ video capture cards that won't work in Windows without a driver(which can't be found since it was made by a generic company then abandoned), but these ALWAYS are discovered and work well with the Linux Kernel.
The lack of a "works with GNU/Linux" notation on the packaging of a hardware product does not mean GNU/Linux will not easily work with it, often without a product-specific device driver.
And sometimes the vendor mistakenly will say on their website that it will NOT work with Linux, when it actually will. Have seen this more than a few times with basic computer components like Mice, keyboards, or UBS drives. These will work natively with Linux, but the vendor just doesn't want to offer Linux testing or support.
@@littlepeon the external drive housings that I bought explicitly stated it will not work with "Linux." After inserting the disk drives into one of the housings and plugging the USB cable into the computer, lsblk found those drives instantly.
11:23 the thing is, that proprietary video editors also have these issues, especially adobe software. All adobe software is notorious for having a lot of issues. I remember when I had to use adobe software for school and it crashed 7 times in one night and I wasted hours as I didn't save my project every second.
YMMV, With work, we use proprietary editors because they just work better with 4k video and larger files. We have just had too many 8+ hour renders fail with kdenlive or Davinci resolve on Linux (which is funny because there is no problem with the same video on Windows with Davinci)
The only reason I have windows on my laptop currently is because of song Vegas in my opinion it is just a beautiful video editor that never really crashes I'm just gonna wait till a Linux video editor gets not on par but just use able for big projects.
The political hate comments on non political videos are most likely bots. At least that’s what I like to tell myself, because I just can’t comprehend people who’s sole identity is their political affiliation.
I prefer working from 0500 to 1200 and having afternoons free for outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, cycling, etc. I found having a separate static sitting desk for writing/reading and a standing desk when using my computer to be better than a single sit/stand desk. The extra real estate on the static sitting desk is essential in my mind.
It took 2 days of troubleshooting plus a call to HP customer support to get my HP 5258 OfficeJet WiFi AiO printer/scanner to work on Windows 10. On the other hand, setup on Garuda Linux took about 30 minutes, and 20 of those minutes was me trying to learn the CUPS browser interface!

Hey DT, could you make a video on selecting good PC parts that are best fits for a Linux desktop workstation? Nobody at Linux community makes good hardware compatibility videos.
I don't know your budget, but here are some recommendations: - AMD Ryzen. This is the only way for workstations. - AMD GPU (Any). Nvidia = bad - Pretty much any good SSD, but only Samsung and Kingston. - For the motherboard, go with Gigabyte or Asus. Insane.
I just got an old Dell 5580 laptop and i was shocked that everything worked perfectly when i installed Fedora on it. Fedora even auto updated the bios for me which i have never seen windows do. I wonder if i just got lucky or perhaps Dell builds their laptops to support both windows and linux.

Good for you. I sadly have hardware issues with Linux, because I love VR gaming and have an old Oculus rift cv1, guess what Facebook never bothered to release drivers for Linux and openhmd is kinda crap, you can't use your controllers, so I'm stuck with dual booting.

Some people own Unicorn machines that never have problems. Most do not. I have a few laptops with fingerprint readers and Linux drivers for those are pretty much non-existent (very Alpha software). Most of my machines are older, so there is no problem with Kernel/drivers, however I did work with some newer AMD CPU/MB/GPUs combos over this last summer that required the LATEST Kernel updates to work decent.

You raised some key points about Linux whether or not they were intentional. If people out there are serious about becoming acquainted with Linux, they really need to embrace reading in order to harvest the best experience. Whether it is reading the box of your hardware or reading the blogs, tutorials, and support content for the software. Windows and Mac are about convenience. Linux is about freedom. People are wise to make a careful decision about what their goals are in these principles or they are going to be shelling out money very unhappily.
19:13 People always read between the lines and imagine you say something. It's even worse on twitter, because the character limit makes nuanced argument difficult. You could literally say 'the sky is blue' and someone is going to take offense to it.
Well, if it's on the box, it will be supported. It might not be mentioned on the box, because the company that build the device might not have made official drivers for it. But it's not uncommon for enthusiasts to hack together a driver that actually works. But the company that made the device isn't going to take responsibility in that case, and so you shouldn't expect support from them (you might even void your warranty) . So if possible, certainly use a device that says it's supported on Linux :-)
Lastly can you run a GoFundMe or setup a fund for a beefy PC. I'd like to donate to that so there is a Linux UA-camr that's prominent that can film anything.
Hey DT I'm using Kate for c coding. You're well good with doom emacs. Can you give a video on how to go about setting up doom emacs for c. I have seen different videos about cmake-ide and a newer option. Could you make a video for us to give real working doom emacs as a c ide or python too. Thanks
@make None cool. I have used atom and hated is absolute slowness. And love kates speed. But i would like to try emacs. But I would atleast like a good setup for it before I try to learn how to use it. Learning how to use software while also having no idea if it's configured right is a bridge too far.
@make None I'm using an old hp chromebook 14 until Christmas at least. And I don't know if its that fault I think it works the same on my sons 8250u. It's like if I sat at the keyboard and typed but some one else received my texted in another place and then they typed it back to me to appear on my screen. It feels disconnected I have never felt this in a program before. Atom is just slow and strange. Like GTA 4 when driving drunk in the car. I haven't used vim or emacs when I need terminal text editor o have been using nano. But I thought it would be nice to try it out. I assume doom emacs is using similar key bindings to vim. But wouldn't know how to set either one as a c and python ide.
For the person that was looking for a distro with app running in the top bar, you can also use Linux Mint and change the position of task bar to the top of the screen. It is a lot simpler place to start than KDE both from a desktop environment and from a distro level if they are new to linux
i think u can make the bar be on top, side, or bottom with any desktop environment. i know you can do it on cinnamon, kde plasma, and xfce because ive done it on those.
@@bigmikeobama5314 just downloaded mate yesterday and I can also confirm you can move the bar to any position and monitor you would like, you can also change size and create more bars/panels
On the politics, I've been very intrigued about this with you. You will literally speak positively and negatively about "both sides". Which is funny to me. I'm not one to make assumptions about people but I will this time and wager that you and I would see eye to eye on a lot and vehemently disagree on just as much. It's a good thing. We shouldn't agree on everything or even almost anything. We should each form our own opinions based on the information presented and after having an honest conversation with "the other". I see liberals, libertarians, conservatives, progressives and everything in between using Linux. That alone means that we have something in common.
Given the amount of keyboard warriors the right has i'm sure some of them have taken the time out of their busy schedule arguing with people online to learn linux. But I would say the left probably has more linux users as most the tech savvy fields are in pretty left leaning area's. What I would be most interested in is seeing a libertarians perspective of free and open source software. Do they see it like taking a dump on the free market? Or a viable alternative, a instance of voting with your dollars per say.
@@TheChemisch I introduce you to one. It's funny how people assume that FOSS/FLOSS is primarily a left thing. I've rarely met a left leaning individual, well not left by today's terms. I would agree if we are talking about the traditional dynamics rather than today's. As far as today's norms, I'd say that the average lefty is on Mac and Windows. It really is about freedom and control.
and also in both cases (if you collapse veganism and vegetarianism into one spectrum), it's up to every vegan/vegetarian and every F/OSS enthusiast to choose whether and how they want to advocate, whether they should ever make exceptions in order to get along more smoothly with others, how strict their own adherence is, etc. There are harsh approaches and soft approaches, and different ones may be called for in different situations. You might get really worked up when you educate people about the practices of companies that do pharmaceutical testing on animals, but that doesn't mean you try to scream equally fiercely at grandma every year at the Thanksgiving table about the turkey she's eating. You might rant about the harms of spyware or the absurd DRM on John Deere tractors or the monopolistic practices of Microsoft or Apple, but that doesn't mean you tell your classmate he's a sucker rewarding bad behavior for buying Microsoft Office.
Hey DT, I am kde plasma user and it'd been few months since I am using fedora kde plasma. I want to have kde's media frame widget on any other desktop just for the sake of change , is there anyway we can have that widget (media frame) on any other distro or desktop environment?
As a Windows and Linux user, the only things I've found that are not natively supported by Linux either through proprietary or open source drivers are my Asus motherboard fan control speeds and Miracast type wireless display features on laptops, which is part of the wi-fi chips. Well that and my old AverMedia HD capture card, though ironically my AverMedia HD 2 capture card doesn't work in Windows 7 at all (even though it's supposed to) but it does work in Linux (Manjaro) without any extra drivers to have to install.
KDE is a bit more trendy and I guess you could say ambitious, but after having used it for a few years, I find Xfce more straightforward to setup to my liking and reliable. For people getting their feet wet who aren't necessarily looking to be power tweakers right away, I'd say go for Xfce over KDE, or you know, like Cinnamon with Mint or something. Gnome though... yeah, not for me. Let's leave that to the Ubuntu fanboys to have fun with.

what's the audio set up you're using? every one i know is saying that maiking audio on linux is ingthmare and i want to do it and i don't want to use any proprietary divers for the audio interface and stuff.
As a vegan and linux user i find the similarities between the two lifestyles very funny. I agree with what you said, here in the internet people will try to argue with other people for any reason, they will even take them out of context to do so. Better for one's own health to avoid arguing with others
DT literally complained about people assuming all kinds of his beliefs and not just veganism. You took time out of your day to write something boring about vegans. Yes... I understand the irony of writing the comment.
i am curious, given the level of your devotion to "free, open source software" if you have ever [or do currently] make donations to the people who take the time to make the software you do use. i like free software, but i do use a lot of proprietary software [especially for work], but do, on occasion give/donate money to software developers i like, since i feel it is only fair.
Don't forget, that a crap load of hardware that doesn't have Linux support from it's maker, may still work in Linux if it follows standards, and many devices have a driver because some Linux developer reverse engineered it and made one. Always do a search with the brand and model of your device: "Use YOUR DEVICE on Linux", and you may just find a driver or way to get it to work, and many of those devices will be recognized by your distro. I know that on Debian based distro's I had to download and install a special driver for my EMU 0404 Professional sound card (An old but still great one), but on my Arch based distro EndeavourOS, it's recognized and the driver installed automatically. (
Yeah, my soundblaster Zxr is supposadely just a windows only card, but someone reverse engineered it and it's now supported in every kernel past 4.15 iirc.

Nice shirt!
why you use gimp for logos and thumbnail when you can do your work easier with inkscape?
Probably because he knows how to use Gimp better so it works better with HIS workflow. It's not a comparison of the two products, but what he knows how to use and make work.
Preach it, brother! But you can't leave me hangin on what video editor you are trying out . . . . I'm a Kdenlive user who works with the bugs, and it's ok most of the time.
Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for the video-reveal for the "next-big-thing" ;-)
Bruh just always when he makes such title for like I'm greeting him, for me it's like he greeting me in short by my full name.. so weird for me sometimes to see such notification. Danil Tiuhtiaev btw, or in short "I'm sorry who?.." xd

DT finally got it he is bald
Hey DT, are you bald by choice?
His hair uses Gentoo and is still compiling.
DT community version doesn't come with hair. To get a DT with hair you need to buy the enterprise version of DT.
You raised some key points about Linux whether or not they were intentional. If people out there are serious about becoming acquainted with Linux, they really need to embrace reading in order to harvest the best experience. Whether it is reading the box of your hardware or reading the blogs, tutorials, and support content for the software. Windows and Mac are about convenience. Linux is about freedom. People are wise to make a careful decision about what their goals are in these principles or they are going to be shelling out money very unhappily.
14:52 to 15:37. While you covered plumming and cars, anything else (ex / like electrical ) getting professional for?
19:13 People always read between the lines and imagine you say something. It's even worse on twitter, because the character limit makes nuanced argument difficult.
You could literally say 'the sky is blue' and someone is going to take offense to it.
Looking for arguments and arguing against an imaginery strawman is a red flag. Please avoid all cancerous unproductive people like that!!!!
Well, if it's on the box, it will be supported. It might not be mentioned on the box, because the company that build the device might not have made official drivers for it.
But it's not uncommon for enthusiasts to hack together a driver that actually works. But the company that made the device isn't going to take responsibility in that case, and so you shouldn't expect support from them (you might even void your warranty) . So if possible, certainly use a device that says it's supported on Linux :-)
Hey DT! Can you make a video on customising IceWM
Lastly can you run a GoFundMe or setup a fund for a beefy PC. I'd like to donate to that so there is a Linux UA-camr that's prominent that can film anything.
He already has a Patreon and has listed his Crypto currents wallets in the description of you want to make a donation.
17:00 Raspbian.
Raspberry Pi OS, has the Windows Bottom Bar on the TOP!
Hey DT I'm using Kate for c coding. You're well good with doom emacs. Can you give a video on how to go about setting up doom emacs for c. I have seen different videos about cmake-ide and a newer option. Could you make a video for us to give real working doom emacs as a c ide or python too. Thanks
@make None cool. I have used atom and hated is absolute slowness. And love kates speed. But i would like to try emacs. But I would atleast like a good setup for it before I try to learn how to use it. Learning how to use software while also having no idea if it's configured right is a bridge too far.
@make None I'm using an old hp chromebook 14 until Christmas at least. And I don't know if its that fault I think it works the same on my sons 8250u. It's like if I sat at the keyboard and typed but some one else received my texted in another place and then they typed it back to me to appear on my screen. It feels disconnected I have never felt this in a program before. Atom is just slow and strange. Like GTA 4 when driving drunk in the car. I haven't used vim or emacs when I need terminal text editor o have been using nano. But I thought it would be nice to try it out. I assume doom emacs is using similar key bindings to vim. But wouldn't know how to set either one as a c and python ide.
Why can’t you run qubes in a vm? You do know VM nesting is a thing. Has been for many years.
Love the T-Shirt! For me, it wasn't a choice :P
Hey DT is it possible to review my little project? My goal is to help new people coming to Linux.
from what I know blender has a good video editor, but I've personally never used it.
Nice t-shirt
i love how the other mic seems to be pointing at Buda like he will talk something. To us
How do you tell if somebody is a vegan?
You won't ever need to, they will tell you multiple times.
Yeah, politics is not a spectrum. It is a bunch of ideas that some morons tried to put on a line, so some views are seen as extremes of a side.
I watched all 22 minutes of this video and never once did he finally spill the tea about Haiti
For the person that was looking for a distro with app running in the top bar, you can also use Linux Mint and change the position of task bar to the top of the screen. It is a lot simpler place to start than KDE both from a desktop environment and from a distro level if they are new to linux
i think u can make the bar be on top, side, or bottom with any desktop environment. i know you can do it on cinnamon, kde plasma, and xfce because ive done it on those.
@@bigmikeobama5314 just downloaded mate yesterday and I can also confirm you can move the bar to any position and monitor you would like, you can also change size and create more bars/panels
Funny because I made my Cinnamon look like Ubuntu's Unity. I don't think Ubuntu will have that layout on the new gnome
If there was a problem
Yo, he’ll solve it
Check out the hook while our DT revolves it
On the politics, I've been very intrigued about this with you. You will literally speak positively and negatively about "both sides". Which is funny to me. I'm not one to make assumptions about people but I will this time and wager that you and I would see eye to eye on a lot and vehemently disagree on just as much. It's a good thing. We shouldn't agree on everything or even almost anything. We should each form our own opinions based on the information presented and after having an honest conversation with "the other". I see liberals, libertarians, conservatives, progressives and everything in between using Linux. That alone means that we have something in common.
Given the amount of keyboard warriors the right has i'm sure some of them have taken the time out of their busy schedule arguing with people online to learn linux. But I would say the left probably has more linux users as most the tech savvy fields are in pretty left leaning area's.
What I would be most interested in is seeing a libertarians perspective of free and open source software. Do they see it like taking a dump on the free market? Or a viable alternative, a instance of voting with your dollars per say.
@@TheChemisch I introduce you to one. It's funny how people assume that FOSS/FLOSS is primarily a left thing. I've rarely met a left leaning individual, well not left by today's terms. I would agree if we are talking about the traditional dynamics rather than today's. As far as today's norms, I'd say that the average lefty is on Mac and Windows. It really is about freedom and control.
As a vegan, the comparison is entirely fair lol. It is a major lifestyle change and the two communities are often equally zealous on the internet.
and also in both cases (if you collapse veganism and vegetarianism into one spectrum), it's up to every vegan/vegetarian and every F/OSS enthusiast to choose whether and how they want to advocate, whether they should ever make exceptions in order to get along more smoothly with others, how strict their own adherence is, etc. There are harsh approaches and soft approaches, and different ones may be called for in different situations.
You might get really worked up when you educate people about the practices of companies that do pharmaceutical testing on animals, but that doesn't mean you try to scream equally fiercely at grandma every year at the Thanksgiving table about the turkey she's eating. You might rant about the harms of spyware or the absurd DRM on John Deere tractors or the monopolistic practices of Microsoft or Apple, but that doesn't mean you tell your classmate he's a sucker rewarding bad behavior for buying Microsoft Office.
Hey DT. You should do a video review on Alpine Linux on UA-cam.
Hey, DT!
I might be wrong, but can't you record with a capture card? 3:50
Hey DT, I am kde plasma user and it'd been few months since I am using fedora kde plasma. I want to have kde's media frame widget on any other desktop just for the sake of change , is there anyway we can have that widget (media frame) on any other distro or desktop environment?
Dt merry xmas an happy new year.
I'm still looking for the free and open source guns.
Hey DT,
What's your thoughts about metaverse ??
love the chill attitude DT! You're like ASMR for FOSS.
Truee lol, that's the reason I watch any DT video even pretty outdated ones
As a Windows and Linux user, the only things I've found that are not natively supported by Linux either through proprietary or open source drivers are my Asus motherboard fan control speeds and Miracast type wireless display features on laptops, which is part of the wi-fi chips. Well that and my old AverMedia HD capture card, though ironically my AverMedia HD 2 capture card doesn't work in Windows 7 at all (even though it's supposed to) but it does work in Linux (Manjaro) without any extra drivers to have to install.
KDE is a bit more trendy and I guess you could say ambitious, but after having used it for a few years, I find Xfce more straightforward to setup to my liking and reliable. For people getting their feet wet who aren't necessarily looking to be power tweakers right away, I'd say go for Xfce over KDE, or you know, like Cinnamon with Mint or something. Gnome though... yeah, not for me. Let's leave that to the Ubuntu fanboys to have fun with.
Best shortcut for kde ALT+SPACE
kdenlive would be great if it wasnt for the kde bloat…
olive editor is the best and getting better all the time... imho
Open source is communism! Obviously xD /s
12:14 I hate secrecy laden announcements... But I do hope it's gonna be CLI or a programmatically controllable video-editing such as Melt, moviepy, editly or Blender via its integrated NLE.
Get a standing desk to fix that posture issue.
Thank you Distrotube, could you please make a video about Pipewire, whether or not to swap out Pulse audio for it or about whether to upgrade to kernel 5.10. Thankyou
I only buy hp printers they always work with linux.
HPLIP fixes everything.
Hey DT! Would there be a Tails/BlackArch Combination Distribution in the future???
Working on a farm during the day forces people to have good posture. I recommend it to anyone not imprisoned by city life.
What's your problem with veganism? 😉
Hey dt I have a problem I was trying to setup arch Linux but at end of the setup when I tried to start the desktop it said “Xsever is a beta version “ do you know how to fix this problem.
15:11 woah, DT fixes his mental health with free and open source tools such as meditation or walking in the jungle
what's the audio set up you're using? every one i know is saying that maiking audio on linux is ingthmare and i want to do it and i don't want to use any proprietary divers for the audio interface and stuff.
So much clickbait, why?
As a vegan and linux user i find the similarities between the two lifestyles very funny. I agree with what you said, here in the internet people will try to argue with other people for any reason, they will even take them out of context to do so. Better for one's own health to avoid arguing with others
15:38
Just use stock gnome and remove all of the favorites from applications.
See why vaganism is boring? the man took time out of his day to assume stuff about dt because of something written in a bubble
DT literally complained about people assuming all kinds of his beliefs and not just veganism. You took time out of your day to write something boring about vegans. Yes... I understand the irony of writing the comment.
@@lburhop my comment was not based on a bubble at least :S
talk about Log4j problem,,,,open souce is bad???
Are you married
What is with the shiner?
I like the t-shirt 🤣
Wondering if it's the Olive video editor you are going to do a video about?
i don't hate vegans , just means more meat for me.
i am curious, given the level of your devotion to "free, open source software" if you have ever [or do currently] make donations to the people who take the time to make the software you do use.
i like free software, but i do use a lot of proprietary software [especially for work], but do, on occasion give/donate money to software developers i like, since i feel it is only fair.
DT donates to free software all the time, including Kdenlive. He talks about it a lot in his videos
Don't forget, that a crap load of hardware that doesn't have Linux support from it's maker, may still work in Linux if it follows standards, and many devices have a driver because some Linux developer reverse engineered it and made one. Always do a search with the brand and model of your device: "Use YOUR DEVICE on Linux", and you may just find a driver or way to get it to work, and many of those devices will be recognized by your distro. I know that on Debian based distro's I had to download and install a special driver for my EMU 0404 Professional sound card (An old but still great one), but on my Arch based distro EndeavourOS, it's recognized and the driver installed automatically. (
Yeah, my soundblaster Zxr is supposadely just a windows only card, but someone reverse engineered it and it's now supported in every kernel past 4.15 iirc.
Printer support: it's CUPS, Apple pays the CUPS developer(s), ergo if it works on a Mac, it should work on Linux.
But printing to a PDF and going to Fedex/Kinkos has been cheaper. They used to support IPP which could go through CUPS.
Xfce + xfdesktop(?) could do that superkey thing. Delete all the panels, tweak bindings.
Video games got boring. Run, shoot, find the key, repeat.
...a skilled debater will knee cap your argument and make you think.
...maybe i should sign up for karate.
