Great video. The older I get the less I care about customizations. I prefer a clean, polished and fully functional environment so I can just use the darn thing. Keep the videos coming LM. Regards.
Gnome stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment, and if you take a word GNU it is with hard G that is why G is pronounced withing the GNOME name. Of course you can pronounce however you like it and NOME is also OK :)
Thank you for this, very informative. I am using the Ubuntu gnome on my main laptop and Linux Mint on another desktop and laptop. I like Mint because I can move menu bar items from the corners to the centre. I need this because I use large screen TVs for a monitor at work and at home.
I prefer gnome over others. My brain focuses easier on the workload with less stuff around. At most, I add dash to dock on distros that don't already have it enabled by default.
It is one of the things I particularly like about your videos. That little summary at the end helps cement what I've learned here. It's a great teaching tool.@@linuxmench2118
There are four types of Linux Mint. Linux Mint Xfce would be light. Are you lacking RAM? You could also install Linux Mint and download the Awesome Window Manager in the terminal or from the graphical software centre. You might want to watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/QpxnQsom4AQ/v-deo.html
I just can't, I tried...again. vanilla gnome is so restrictive. Even extensions for current gnome don't respect setting and fail to load properly. Two extensions to make quality of life fixes...gnome being gnome.
I understand. I had to stop using Gnome on one computer because it’s too heavy on the old Nvidia card and the computer kept freezing forcing me to do a REISUB.
I use Debian Gnome which is Vanilla Gnome and it's not that bad. It does come with some extensions such as the ones in the video like the Applications and Places menu. As well as the one to put icons on the desktop. You can also add extensions yourself as well like the Arc Menu to give it a more Cinnamon style start menu. I find that KDE uses up more ram than Gnome. Maybe that's because I am using Linux Mint with the KDE desktop which is Ubuntu based.
I don't know. It's the default font that came with Gnome. Strange, Gnome doesn't have a settings menu to change the font. First time I have used a DE without that ability.
The default GNOME font is called Cantarell. Also, many settings that probably should be in GNOME proper are found in the `gnome-tweaks` package, so if you'd like to change the font, you'll need that. Hope this helps :)

Yes, sometimes it’s nice to install a polished environment that just works. Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated.

Oh that explains it. I didn’t know Gnome is an acronym. Thanks for the info :)
Great video, as always. And nice cats!
Thanks!

You’re welcome. Yes, Linux Mint is great.

That's great!
Very helpful! Thank you.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
You left out the "in this video ... like ... subscribe ... until next time I am the linux mench" section. I did miss it.
I didn’t think anyone was watching to the end. Thanks for the kind words.

I planned to no longer include that ending. Your comment inspired me to keep it in. Thanks for supporting my channel.
I'm glad you're going to keep doing it. That summary really helps cement what I've learned there. Thanks for what you do.
@@susanpinochet You're welcome!
Is there a light linix mint that I can put onto my harddrive and use its utilities? What do you recommend?

Oh, yea. My cat looks a lot like your baby! Hahaha
That's cool!
awesome font, what is it?

That's great, thanks for the info.
To me, the font looks like Roboto. Give it a try.
