    For some reason which I am not so sure what I did wrong but if you get error when running apt update mentioning that there is no release candidates for bullseye-security, edit your source list with the command:
    sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list
    Then find two lines for bullseye-security, edit those (better to copy the original lines and comment it out, just in case). The editing required is replace the URL from (remember, for bullseye-security lines only! 2 lines) deb.debian.org to security.debian.org for both lines namely deb and deb-src.
    Save the file (Ctrl + O) and exit nano editor (Ctrl + X) and run sudo apt update again, your source list would be fine now and run sudo apt upgrade if applicable.
    * The default one should be security.debian.org but I don't know what I did that changed it to deb.debian.org, nevertheless, just change it back when you got the same error. And remember, if its not broken, dont fix it!

    Always fun to see what my fellow music fans do besides music. Or in this case what my fellow Nemophila fan does besides Nemophila. My day job has been writing code since the first gig at Microsoft in 1989 (please don't hold that against me, and I haven't worked there in decades). You make a good tech video without a bunch of useless fluff. Nice job.

      Yes I saw you are coders from our previous 'encounter'. What I didn't tell in this video is that I use dual boot and use Windows for some of my graphic stuffs as a graphic designer myself, especially Adobe Illustrator - wine can't handle Illustrator well so Windows is a must! 😎

      @@OvDevilz Yeah i do dimly remember mentioning previously. My memory is like Swiss cheese these days. I run Windows for gaming and graphics stuff too although I really don't like where they've been heading with it for a while now. They give me a Macbook for work so I have the trick of either booting the same image in an emulator or natively on that, although the option goes away with the new Apple silicon. Your mentioning wine reminds me of working on wilm (windows libraries for macintosh) a gazillion years ago. That was both fun and ugly at the same time. Anyway enjoy your weekend!

      @@Oedwak yes wine emulator is lot of fun until its not 😅. Well current Apple is based on BSD OS and same as Linux, both based on UNIX so Apple and Linux is a cousin, so to speak. Once I guide my friend using Apple utilizing the renice command and it works well. We share the same basic codes. 🤘🏻

    Noticed some Ubuntu users are not happy with the latest LTS. Not sure why since I am Fedora user myself but default Gnome on Debian 11 looks neat, not much different from Fedora. However I must say Gnome 42 is somewhat makes me uncomfortable especially on themes point of view. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Ubuntu users are divided against the issue but I don't want to comment much on that. To each their own. Before switching to Debian 11, I did tried Ubuntu 22.04 and yes despite other issues, Gnome 42 theming is inconsistent.
      I used Red Hat since before Fedora was born, Anaconda installer and LILO era, and I remembered yum that time was like a life changing experience. Discovered apt later on and been Ubuntu user since 10.04 but I will stick to Debian for now ;)

    What's the reason why some choose to avoid Ubuntu 22.04?

    • @OvDevilz
      @OvDevilz  Рік тому +2

      For context, I switched from Redhat Linux (pre-Fedora era) to Ubuntu about 10 years ago and as my main OS, obviously I opted for LTS version since 12.04. For the past 10 years, I never had any problem with Ubuntu LTS, well at least nothing that can't be dealt with - bugs on LTS updates normally fixed on the next day. Except for (fixable) privacy issues and (manageable) 'bloatware' craps, it was pretty reliable OS.... well, until they decided to introduce snap in 22.04 LTS.
      Ubuntu LTS branch is made for stability and that's not supposed to be an expectation but a commitment. We saw many new features/packages excluded in previous LTS releases because of uncertainties. However, Canonical pushed snap on 22.04 LTS despite it being buggy and weird behaviours - at least during the time of 22.04 LTS release. I normally waited for about 2 months after the initial release to test it out just to make sure its more polished after feedback from the actual end-user experience... and even after 2 months wait, I was very frustrated with 22.04 performance.
      The OS felt 'heavy' and on fresh install 22.04, I test run Olive Editor and rendering takes too long to complete that I eventually gave up. My PC is rather old but the same video rendering on 20.04 takes 4 times faster. The same goes with overall performance in term of speed and smoothness operation, which I never noticed a difference across all other LTS I had used previously. I thought maybe its related to Wayland so I switched to X11... nope, still the same 'heaviness'.
      And now the snap...
      It is a well known fact that snap app tend to take lots of time to start for the first time but once you run it once, exit the apps and starts again, it doesn't seem to bother me much but still there's a noticable delay compared to the native (apt).apps because unlike native apps, it runs on its own sandbox.
      Also its a fact that snap apps require lots of disk space because each apps comes with set libraries, so much for being 'stand alone' apps... but since disk space is much cheaper these days (or I had accumulated many?), its not a serious issue for me unless all apps are snap apps... right?
      Well... it COULD BE and this is the most annoying things for me as far as 22.04 LTS 'operating procedure' is concerned. When I install any apps using apt command line, for whatever reasons, the system would pick snap apps over apt (.deb). If the apps you wish to install is available on snap, it will ignore the .deb package. There is a workaround which involve removing the snapd and all that trivial stuffs but then if you remove snapd, I don't think you can install snap apps at all after that. I am sure there's a way to mingle around with that BUT the issue here is that: ME as SUDOER specifically use APT to install .deb package so the system should listen to my command and execute accordingly... because IF I want to install snap app, I could just give the SNAP command - which is why that command exists anyway! This is really a NO NO for me.
      The other problem with snap apps is updating. If we are using Firefox, normal APT will update Firefox in the background but lock the current running instance, and only introduce new updated file for new Firefox instance. The only message you get is Firefox updated, restart Firefox for new version.
      For snap, the apps cannot be updated when its active. You have to quit the apps for update, and in several cases the app just crash (quit by itself) and if you starts the apps, it will just continue to crash until update is complete and it becomes normal again. Weird isn't?
      Well that's some of the issues but we are dealing with LTS here and its unacceptable!
      I am happy with my Debian and just upgraded to Debian 12 Bookworm recently. As for apps that's not available in .deb, I go for flatpak instead.
      So are you on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? If you do, I hope it becomes better now. Good luck! 😎

      Is the problem is booting from USB? Check your EFI mode in bios. Try turn off secure boot if boot selection order fail.
      Or USB successfully boot but you cannot install? What is the reason/error?

Gnome, KDE, Mate, XFCE are DE. If you weren't asked this, perhaps you pick the wrong ISO with specific DE already comes preinstalled.
