A few points: 32GB for ram is way too overkill, I have 10 in a 24GB ram and never used it half of it. Especially if swap file can replace it and be more dynamic if your worry is not being able to hibernate fast enough. Balena etcher is great, but if you are watching this, chances are you are still testing linux in general, ventoy allows you to not install every single iso you go through, you can also have multiple OSes to test. Root partition could benefit from those other 32GB on the swap. Some applications are incredibly heavy on the system at first, and they get lighter as applications share the same libraries overtime. Getting a full root partition is incredibly annoying to fix. Note on the home partition: This will prevent you from needing to reinstall all your settings and personal files like you would need on windows. Keep that in mind in case you need to reinstall the system. NOTHING in this video (that i noticed) is inherently wrong, but he is following common instructions thrown on the internet without understanding or explaining the why. That is what happens when we first learn it, it is perfectly acceptable to do this, but do question those things and do your own research if this, it will help making decisions in things that (like this) aren't set in stone, and will help you being a better developer in general. Especially if this is your only machine.
It's good to have plenty of RAM if you plan on having VirtualBox. I use VMs to test my applications, to see if it runs, to see how it looks. I'm not sure what the point of a separate home partition is. Is it for backing up? I backup my files regularly.
Yeah I think I followed the same article or at least the same instructions and got my root full within about a month. Haven’t fixed it yet but yeah, it’s a hassle.
@@louistournas120 home partiton saves the user personal files and settings. If you reinstall a system, unlike windows, you just need to format root and boot. The system will recognize home and it makes repairing easier. You don't need to do any partitions, and the system will allocate automatically. But if you format your computer you'll lose anything not backed up just like windows.
Honestly, as a linux user that used ubuntu for almast 2 years, don't use it. Almost everything on the os, after the new update, is built with snap packages, which make it incredibly slower than other distros. Ofc if you like it stick with it, but just saying as a general piece of advice ;)
thats why i use pop os because even trying to install stuff on ubuntu is stupid af i couldn't install alacritty because i had to add a ppa just like everything else you can install on ubuntu i spent more time adding ppa's then actually using my computer 😒
@No_Name Honeslty many distros are good. Lately I have really been into Fedora, which is super clean and stable, or Manjaro for an "easier" arch experience. I would probably choose Fedora tho
I have a question ? :) how do you get away from distractions like social media when working from home.... How to stay productive with facebook, youtube and etc... hope you would share your thoughts in this... :D. Mean time your vlogs are interesting keep it up..

Fun fact about Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on launch it had several bugs and issues and system76 released pop os 4 days later and all the bugs were ironed out with less bloatware present
For my C++/QT, Golang, Python tool chain I always maintain a setup script for the latest Ubuntu LTS machine. Should make this script public, because after a fresh install it just takes like 20 minutes, depending on internet speed to have a fresh machine with everything installed I need to just get on and find all the tools I'm used to.
Im an old unix guy, everyone googles everything. They just look smart when they remember the third time :D. Keep notes so you can do it quickly the second and third time.

Whats funny is nowadays you don't need a swap bc most distributions use newer methods for swap. Also always check things arent in software either through the gui or otherwise. Android studio definitely shouldve been in the repos. That was a hard habit for me to break coming to linux to not check that first 😅
If somebody would like to install ubuntu on an external hard drive use Virtual box Make a bootable USB In the Virtual box you don't need to create a new virtual machine just add the bootable USB for start + you can set Virtual box can notice 2.0 and 3.0 usb devices (external hdd/sdd) with the new pack nowdays, plug in the external hdd/ssd and in the setting you can add it in the USB settings then unplug it After the USB's ubuntu start click on "Try Ubuntu" Then plug in the external hdd/sdd The Ubuntu will notice the device Finally you click on Install Ubuntu and the best thing about this method is you just see one device for the Ubuntu installation So just one easy option "Install Ubuntu" or if the hdd/ssd have not important information you can choose "Erase Ubuntu amd reinstall"
Recentely I ve heard that snaps are slowers than other types of packages (that is one of many criticizes that Ubuntu has been receiving), in your experience with this machine, have you noticed any unusual slowness ?
I don't wanna be negative here, but he first didn't know how to run a shell script, and next he installed vscode as a snap. I mean, ubuntu is shit because of snaps, and this guy just seems to love them
You're not wrong, if you'd have setup a swap to file instead. Otherwise what happens is you won't be able to hibernate. Hibernate is most important for devs so as to not restart all their services up which can take up to half an hour from cold boot.
swap partition is no longer needed, we use swap file these days. You can modify its size straight from OS via terminal. Can also just create one partition set as / for everything, it will partition automatically, not the best practice but for regular use is probably fine, as I did that for years on my laptop. But for production desktop I still make a few partitions manually.

You should really get a USB stick with ventoy installed ... Basically you could just copy multiple iso files on it and then choose wich one you want to install on boot ^^
Really nice video, Kalle. Just want to know what Laptop you would advice to a Software engineering student who's on a really tight budget ? Trying to get a new laptop
I'm not a Ubuntu fan. I prefer finding a distro specifically for what I'm doing. Not that I use Linux much, but why use a generic distro if your going be doing something specific with it?
okay i am not trying to be mean or anything but DO NOT USE SNAP TO INSTALL STUFF snap is proven to be bad they are slow and buggy just use apt or flatpak.
great video, can you make quick tutorial to how to setup ssh key in linux? I somehow not able to do it. some publickey error is coming all the time. thanks in advance lastly great video
So you the the bolesn something to pass Ubuntu or Linux? to a pen drive. I only understand half of the video. So maybe when you have time can you do the same but for beginner people .
Yeah the current recommendation for swap space, whether a file or partition, is the square root of the amount of installed random-access memory. Basically, floor(sqrt(RAM)).
@gilkesisking I once had a machine with linux that I just formatted the usb and dragged it in and installed it on. I just had to go into the bios and adjust the boot sequence and then it installed. Was there something else that would've been affected by how I did it?
For Windows it's an easy answer, it is a major pain to setup for development. Getting something like postgresql installed on windows is something I'd never like to do again.
I prefer codium to VScode on linux. Is basically the same thing minus the proprietary Microsoft extensions. There's just something wrong having Microsoft stuff on your linux install.
@No_Name I don't think that's a good comparison. What you said is correct but doesn't really apply in this case. You're the user, you have a choice. 99% of what makes up VSC is open source, but that 1% is telementry added in by Microsoft and I'm not comfortable sharing my data with them because they have a history of misusing it. VSCodium is essentially the 99% of VSC that's open source without the telemetry. For me the choice is more than obvious in this case.
@No_Name As I've said above, it's literally the same thing. The only difference is the lack of Microsoft telemtry and the lack of the official Microsoft extensions. The rest is exactly the same. If you love VSC, you'll love VSCodium. The only thing I can think of that's a worse experience is if you rely on microsoft-heavy workflows such as with C#.
@No_Name It really depends on what you're looking for. For a beginner a debian/ubuntu based OS would be the best because it's harder to break it. Zorin OS is my go to linux distro when I introduce new people to linux. It has some older packages and isn't as up to date, but because of that all packages are well tested and reliable. It also has a smooth wine integration which enables you to run windows exe files without thinking about it. Another great distro and the one I actually use on most of my machines is pop_os. It's a lot more up to date than Zorin, in fact it's ahead of even Ubuntu which it's based on. It has an ISO with nvidia drivers built in if you have an Nvidia GPU which makes it a go to distro for many gamers.
@No_Name Personally I would not recommend Ubuntu. It used to be the top 1 linux distro, but it's been on a decline as of late. But it's still a great base for other distros. The distros that I mentioned in my previous comment are as easy to set up as Ubuntu. I think you might've seen some more advanced os becuase these can be a pain to configure, but most beginnr distros like Ubuntu, Zorin OS, pop_os, Linux Mint etc are basically great out of the box.
@No_Name Yes, Mint is also based on Ubuntu. Mint is often said to be the easiest disto to get into as a Windows user because of it's Cinnamon Desktop Enviroment. Zorin OS is also ery easy for Windows users. Back in the day Ubuntu used to be the only "easy" distro, but these days there are many that are even better than Ubuntu in that aspect.
to answer you question i will divide it into two parts 1 - *am I missing out on features if I am coding on windows?* no you are not . but your are not using your computer to its limit ,linux is just more hardware optimized so it will take the most out of your computer (and can run on everything not kidding if it can connect it to internet then linux can run on it) 2 - *why do people prefer to use Linux for development over windows* the linux is based on the unix project which you can say its made for developers then there is kernel (you can say its the bridge between the hardware and the apps you are using) is accessible to the devs which make the software much faster much easier to interact with and much much easier to compile (you wont need to install 9GB of bload to compile a 400MB app) there is more but its not something i can explain in just a comment btw its just more stable the laptop im using right now haven't been shutdown in 8 day, 13 hours, 9 mins
might I add to the previous guy, which I agree with, when you want to install something for your program to run, you only need to write 1 sentence in the terminal to install it instead of looking at it and some scuffed download button on the internet. Linux also has better workflow especially on laptops, using Gnome (that's my opinion).
Many core developer tools are nowhere to be found or have bad ports (Emacs, spell checkers) for Windows, many tools like Kitty, Tmux doesn't have Windows port. NTFS is too slow, Windows Defender is horrible for compile times . msvc vs migw is too confusing (cross compiling from Linux to Windows is easier), QEMU port of Windows doesn't even have proper UI like Linux has Boxes/Virtual Manager or Mac has UTM/Virtual Buddy so testing/creating new architecture is pretty hard.
It's mostly preference. Linux CAN be easier to work with as a developer, but that doesn't mean you can't use windows to develop stuff. And linux is light and customizable, but you can also install a generic distro like Ubuntu or Fedora and use it as-is. And it's very helpful to be familiar with using linux if you work with servers since most servers out there run on linux. But it still all comes down to preference. Use what you need/want to get your work done, computers are just a tool afterall.

Arch linux is still the best distro for development.
To be honest i had high expectation when i read the title of the video i thought there will be so much automating and dot files management and more considering you are one of the people who Introduced me to linux but its ok i wont go harsh on you
these some recommendation for people who thinking of coming to the dark side of operating system (we have cookies btw)
1 - don't use ubuntu as your first linux distro , yes ik its popular and all but it had it's time now go with ether fedora or any archlinux based distro (you can ask me why in a comment)
2 - screw downloading packages from internet you're using linux (as an example i will show you how to install android studio on -ubuntu- )
I - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-fonville/android-studio
II - sudo apt update
III - sudo apt install android-studio
i think this is much easier then what kalle did
3 - manage your dot files . for me dot files are the reason why i love linux the reproducibility of them is incredible
just to make less confusion dot files are the configs of the software you are using for example at 12:49 kalle is editing a dot file called bashrc which allow him to customize the shell he is
using if you can put your hand on that file you will be able to get the same bash shell as him
i can go on and on but i think this is a friendly introduction to linux but sorry man you made somethings look harder then how its actually is
and the cookie after the slap the editing is cool as always

great video, can you make quick tutorial to how to setup ssh key in linux? I somehow not able to do it. some publickey error is coming all the time.
thanks in advance
lastly great video
Awesome, Now do more LINUX videos!!!
Prepare a video next week on "hacking NASA using a samsung fridge"
lol, either you have removed Windows partition and destroyed Windows, or there was additional partition that I couldn't see from list )))))))))))))))
Article Link?
No need to use balena etcher. Ventoy is a much better experience.
Yeah, Multiple ISOs Big W
Missed those videos
Why ubuntu? Why not a free opensource distro.
Kylo Ren from the light side of the force. Thanks,
What laptop where you doing this on?
which laptop are you using?
use ventoy for install the operating system without every time wipe out the pen drive
You are ruining your development speed by opting snap. Use native deb packages.
When you could try using Manjaro plasma kde seems almost perfect for developers
Thank you for making this
So you the the bolesn something to pass Ubuntu or Linux? to a pen drive. I only understand half of the video. So maybe when you have time can you do the same but for beginner people .
you should use less then maximum memory rams ..... anyway you good enough for a software engineer 👍
Can you give me the wallpaper that you used in windows 11
Hi my name is kaygee from south African your videos are awesome 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Questions can come in ⬆️...
whenever i see someone use linux ..😊they are pro man
Do a FreeBSD speedrun install next
Please show how to develop software in Kali Linux
4gb or 6gb of swap memory is all enough. believe me
Yeah the current recommendation for swap space, whether a file or partition, is the square root of the amount of installed random-access memory. Basically, floor(sqrt(RAM)).
1:51 Can someone explain why people do this? I always thought you just mount the image and then drag the files out and into your flash drive
@gilkesisking I once had a machine with linux that I just formatted the usb and dragged it in and installed it on. I just had to go into the bios and adjust the boot sequence and then it installed. Was there something else that would've been affected by how I did it?
new profile picture almost made me pass through tubnails
If mine has the option of 'install Ubuntu alongside windows boot manager', should I use it or I should still click on 'something else'??
I think you should stick with "something else". It's not that hard and you can partition it as you want to.
Which version is you Download
Someone tell this guy about OBS (or any screen recorder)
What are the benefits of using Linux for dev rather than Windows or MacOS?
For Windows it's an easy answer, it is a major pain to setup for development. Getting something like postgresql installed on windows is something I'd never like to do again.

Name this laptop model
I prefer codium to VScode on linux. Is basically the same thing minus the proprietary Microsoft extensions. There's just something wrong having Microsoft stuff on your linux install.
@No_Name I don't think that's a good comparison. What you said is correct but doesn't really apply in this case. You're the user, you have a choice. 99% of what makes up VSC is open source, but that 1% is telementry added in by Microsoft and I'm not comfortable sharing my data with them because they have a history of misusing it. VSCodium is essentially the 99% of VSC that's open source without the telemetry. For me the choice is more than obvious in this case.
@No_Name As I've said above, it's literally the same thing. The only difference is the lack of Microsoft telemtry and the lack of the official Microsoft extensions. The rest is exactly the same. If you love VSC, you'll love VSCodium. The only thing I can think of that's a worse experience is if you rely on microsoft-heavy workflows such as with C#.
@No_Name It really depends on what you're looking for. For a beginner a debian/ubuntu based OS would be the best because it's harder to break it. Zorin OS is my go to linux distro when I introduce new people to linux. It has some older packages and isn't as up to date, but because of that all packages are well tested and reliable. It also has a smooth wine integration which enables you to run windows exe files without thinking about it.
Another great distro and the one I actually use on most of my machines is pop_os. It's a lot more up to date than Zorin, in fact it's ahead of even Ubuntu which it's based on. It has an ISO with nvidia drivers built in if you have an Nvidia GPU which makes it a go to distro for many gamers.
@No_Name Personally I would not recommend Ubuntu. It used to be the top 1 linux distro, but it's been on a decline as of late. But it's still a great base for other distros.
The distros that I mentioned in my previous comment are as easy to set up as Ubuntu. I think you might've seen some more advanced os becuase these can be a pain to configure, but most beginnr distros like Ubuntu, Zorin OS, pop_os, Linux Mint etc are basically great out of the box.
@No_Name Yes, Mint is also based on Ubuntu. Mint is often said to be the easiest disto to get into as a Windows user because of it's Cinnamon Desktop Enviroment.
Zorin OS is also ery easy for Windows users.
Back in the day Ubuntu used to be the only "easy" distro, but these days there are many that are even better than Ubuntu in that aspect.
Did you ever made those workout videos?
Questions can come in ⬆️...
im using windows but gonna use linux in next pc, (im starting programming, learnin python, will gonna learn smth after python)
why do people prefer to use Linux for development over windows? just an honest question. am I missing out on features if I am coding on windows?
to answer you question i will divide it into two parts
1 - *am I missing out on features if I am coding on windows?* no you are not . but your are not using your computer to its limit ,linux is just more hardware optimized so it will take the most out of your computer (and can run on everything not kidding if it can connect it to internet then linux can run on it)
2 - *why do people prefer to use Linux for development over windows* the linux is based on the unix project which you can say its made for developers then there is kernel (you can say its the bridge between the hardware and the apps you are using) is accessible to the devs which make the software much faster much easier to interact with and much much easier to compile (you wont need to install 9GB of bload to compile a 400MB app)
there is more but its not something i can explain in just a comment btw its just more stable the laptop im using right now haven't been shutdown in 8 day, 13 hours, 9 mins
@@haam7292 thanks for the answer
might I add to the previous guy, which I agree with, when you want to install something for your program to run, you only need to write 1 sentence in the terminal to install it instead of looking at it and some scuffed download button on the internet.
Linux also has better workflow especially on laptops, using Gnome (that's my opinion).
Many core developer tools are nowhere to be found or have bad ports (Emacs, spell checkers) for Windows, many tools like Kitty, Tmux doesn't have Windows port. NTFS is too slow, Windows Defender is horrible for compile times . msvc vs migw is too confusing (cross compiling from Linux to Windows is easier), QEMU port of Windows doesn't even have proper UI like Linux has Boxes/Virtual Manager or Mac has UTM/Virtual Buddy so testing/creating new architecture is pretty hard.
It's mostly preference. Linux CAN be easier to work with as a developer, but that doesn't mean you can't use windows to develop stuff. And linux is light and customizable, but you can also install a generic distro like Ubuntu or Fedora and use it as-is. And it's very helpful to be familiar with using linux if you work with servers since most servers out there run on linux.
But it still all comes down to preference. Use what you need/want to get your work done, computers are just a tool afterall.
use fish shell
How would you programmers recommend me to start? I feel like i can't really learn through videos. Should i buy courses or books?

@@marditech i feel like i'm more of a visual/example learner. I understand things better if i see what exactly they do if that makes sense
@@mrbeanjr6910 For example, if you want to learn html just get a short pdf course, and start doing. then with a bit of practice with that, watch a short video tutorial, so now you can remember better with a bit of experience, then you could watch a more detaied video course while applyieng that to a project.
@@jguillermooliver thank you
