What is best in life: Finding a "[SOLVED]" post from someone with the identical issue as you.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
@@1pcfred One year I actually put that quote at the end of my work annual review, for the question "What are your goals for the future?"
My boss just ticked it off and I had to point it out to him before going and changing it to something suitably mundane.
@@dingokidneys without well defined goals there is no success. To learn Linux one must decide what to learn about Linux. Because no one knows it all. Not even Linus. His struggles with Desktop Environments and distros in general became something of a meme a few years back. Not that he even knows all of the kernel today.
Unless it's just marked as solved because nobody could repeat the issue and they blame the user

How to learn Linux...
1. Join Community in reddit(r/linux4noobs)
2. Install Linux
3. Solve problems if they come up by help of community
4. Watch Chris Titus Tech
5. Repeat 2 to 4
You forgot:
6. Enjoy.
How to learn Linux:
install arch as your first OS and spend 3 days just trying to get it to work, I promise you you will be exponentially better with the command line
@@ChrisJones-rd4wb Why would I do that? Maybe I'm crazy enough to actually try that out but i could never get my family to try that. They would try Ubuntu oder Mint at most after weeks of convincing from my side 😅
thanks
Reinforcement learning is the most effective way of learning.
So set a goal and make lots of errors!
You have to Fail before you can Succeed! That is my motto to life in general lol.
Absolutely. My learning experience was to dive in with no knowledge and start clicking on stuff. To be sure, my learning experience was unique, because I burned my bridges in the transition from Windows...I knew I'd do without a computer entirely rather than go back...my version of Fedora did not come on live media. It was either go forward, or do without. So I went forward, hit every stump in the woods, and it was worth every drop of blood, sweat, and tears. I owe the Linux experience I have today to those baby steps, and I look back on them fondly.
I have said before and I will say again, there are life lessons in the Linux transition. It is like moving out of your parents' house for the first time. It's scary. There is no one there to hold your hand. You are now expected to do a lot of things yourself, that were once done for you. But the freedom...ah, the freedom. No one gets to tell you what to do. You make your mistakes, take your lumps, and you are accountable to no one but yourself.
SO worth it. I will NEVER go back to Windows.
I'm not above, "making errors". The trouble with coding is that you could be stuck for years trying to figure out what's wrong. No good. And to say, "if you wanted to, you'd slog through it", is disingenuous & points, again, to YOU having an affinity. I REALLY want to understand Linux Mint & Wordpress. I've been at it for a couple of years and keep getting people saying they can teach, but have no idea. Dammit!
@@tracylf5409 confusion is the beginning of knowing. 😊
@@hereb4theend I'm open to confusion. I'm finding it harder to access exceptional providers.
Always wondered how Chris is learning so fast, almost magically. Watching this video made my day.
I also read a TON of UA-cam comments and learned far more doing that, however I know that isn't for everyone. As it can be brutal at times, but so many good things have come from the comments section that have taught me a ton or turned me on to something I had no clue existed.
How to learn Linux - Just watch Chris Titus Tech
I know from experience, try installing arch as your first OS... took me 10 hrs and I did it wrong, but oh fucking boy did it give me command-line experience.
You are doing so much for the community. I wish I had this resource when I first switched to Linux a year ago, and I'm learning so much from you and Derek. Thank you so much.
I must applaud you for having a really organised channel with updated playlists and for shouting for the urban penguin channel. Keep it coming!
Other few ways are:
1) join Linux communities
2) reading man pages
3) figuring out what the problem is instead of blindly googling it.
This is the way i learnt Linux and from the past few months following Chris titus tech UA-cam channel.
Hats off to your work sir 😊😊
Most man pages are not particularly helpful. They're kept around for historic reasons. They may help as a reminder if you already know how to do something, or you may just get lucky. But I don't suggest people use man pages as a source of help.
@@1pcfred I agree with you sir.
@@vighneshmallampally6627 it is spotty. Some developers actually create man pages that do try to be helpful. The GNU project stuff doesn't. They refer users to the info database. In all cases there's better help elsewhere. It'd be nice if the man pages were actually useful but by and large they're not. Which is tradition. I think the inside joke is that you're supposed to know what you're doing before you get on the keyboard?
Hallo Chris, I write this, a started Linux user from the Netherlands, disappointed Window user, after Windows 8 and 8.1.
And switched op advise to Ubuntu and later to Mint.
I saw your videos on UA-cam about Linux and have learned a lot, not only Linux programs but also from Windows problems.
I hope you don’t mind, that I thank you for all your video’s. (I learned not only Linux but also Engels)
Govert
de Gelder
I've suscribed due to the amount of work that you've clearly put into this. Nice one man.
Thank you, Chris. Just what many of us needed.
Just joined your discord after seeing this video. I was having issues with Dual boot, guys there helped me out and solved the issue. Thanks a lot for creating this discord.
Chris, you're awesome in my books. I started in DOS 3.0 and been fairly in depth with PCs since. About 3-weeks ago, decided to take the Linux plunge with my HTPCs, liked it, and now running a Debian distro on my work desktop. The learning curve is vertical and your videos are a Godsend, SSH, fstab, Grub rescue, etc. Already playing with Arch in a VM and liking it. I wish I could break with Windows completely; however, I work for a global company and they're in bed with the latest Microsoft technologies, my spreadsheets are far too complex to run online or in Libre Calc. So far, a Windows Pro VM is helping to bridge personal preference versus programs needed for work. When I retire, I am soooo done with Windows.
Again, thank you, love your passion for Linux.
Love you videos! Been learning a lot! Keep them going
Thanks Chris for video! The arch wiki has helped me with other distros so I agree they do a great job on that wiki.
Useful info as usual,well worth watching.
The other day I had to look for a how-to on install some drivers on debian. Don't remember if I solved it by watching one of your videos, but the first thing I thought was to do so. Maybe seems like a random thought, but I thinks it speaks volumes to the work you put here that my first choice was to search through your videos. Keep them coming, we'll keep learning
Just installed Kubuntu on my old works laptop and so far so good (at this moment in time downloading new all the updates in Discover, that's how early on in the process I am). I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't for your excellent and informative videos such as this! Thanks for the work you've put in and who knows, maybe Linux of some flavour will eventually go on my daily driver.
Great info. I just insert Chris Titus Tech on fav. Thank you and God bless. Time to learn linux
Love your stuff! I would love a walkthrough of Linux Audio for Multi-track editing with Pulse and Jack. So confusing.
if you want to learn a whole lot about how linux goes together, Gentoo or Linux From Scratch are pretty awesome. Linux From Scratch has no package manager by default and you basically install the base system little by little on your own... gentoo has a package manager, but everything is still done pretty manually and you compile all the code from sources as you go so it's built specifically for the hardware you're running it on, nice and lean.. I strongly recommend doing this on a second computer (not your primary one), at least the first time. these distributions are basically the opposite of a well-supported robust linux desktop operating system like mint or pop os but damn are they fun to mess with to figure out how things work. instead of buying a prefab house that is guaranteed to be fully up to code and designed the way a professional designer envisioned it all pretty and pre-furnished like you get with pop os, mint, and ubuntu, with LFS and gentoo, you're handed a vacant lot, rough blueprint, a box truck, and a home depot credit card to set things up exactly the way you want it with your choices of how it goes together, your choice in color of the drapes, the design of the fridge, the internal layout even is all up to you.
Gentoo or Linux From Scratch will show you all of the sights but they'll never explain the bigger picture to you. Why we compute! Essentially it is all about the data and interacting with it. Searching it, collating it, logically operating on it, etc.
Feedback: your hunch is right; I really appreciate the way you organized your videos on the channel
I would recommend buying a cheap single board computer or use a spare laptop and install arch (if x86) on it, use ssh and remote into it from your windows system, run Linux applications from the Linux system on windows (both gui and non gui) (don't use wsl and make it easy, since you are trying to learn) , just start tweaking and messing around. Install nextcloud, a Plex server, or play around with Fedora Silverblue, use a rpi for a personal diy project.
Arch wiki is like a lake of fresh water in the middle of a dessert..
😂😂😂
Back when I first learned Linux, documentation was spotty and you had to read a lot of man pages and just figure it out as you went along. It's far easier to learn now with much better resources out there. That said, the documentation from the Gentoo project and what I could find on Slackware at the time (this was 2001-2002) is what helped me through it. Nowadays, we have lots of people like Chris here making videos on the subject and a combination of their videos along with all the Wikis and books out there are the way to go. There are college classes for those in school, but those can be hit or miss so I'd only recommend looking at them to folks still in college. Everyone else, save their money and learn it with numerous free resources out there.
Hi Chris. Great content dude! What's your opinion on unattended-upgrades on debian based distros? Can you make please make a video about it. Thanks, keep up the good work!
Great info !!! I started on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon, a great distro for learning Linux basics coming from Win/Mac. Now moving Manjaro KDE, easier way to learn Arch ' I hope ' before diving into the hardcore Arch install sometime soon. Keep up the good work !
Arch isn't "hard". Only the installation is way more than click clickc cllick. Using the OS is easy - just do what the wiki tells you ;)
@@agenttank Thanks will look at the wiki and will have a go soon. Watching DistroTubes vids ua-cam.com/video/HpskN_jKyhc/v-deo.html and CTT vids on Arch installs, who both reccomend the wiki too. Just wanted to use Manjaro to get used to AUR and make sure Arch will run on my setup.
Arch is easy, want "hard", then You should try LFS
@@AngryPacman222 Gentoo?
matrix and telegram are also great platforms to get support
matrix for example can be used to access irc channels where a lot of linux rooms are
Best background ever....
Day one with Manjaro. Thanks Chris for all your videos.
Hi Chris, how have you been. Well I purchased the Linux Bible like you suggested and signed up with Red Hat and Fedora. I am learning so much from you. At times it is overwhelming, however I am to get through it. By the way I was able to follow your customization on terminal finally. Anyways thank you so much for this video, very helpful. Your awesome Chris and am enjoying your work, personality and your enthusiasm. This is what I love the most about you. Be well and keep up your great work. James
I'll second the other posters that say use it every day - as your primary OS. Problems you run into are a good thing - those are excellent opportunities to learn while working through them - remember that and don't get frustrated. I've immersed myself in Linux over the past few months and consider myself a pretty moderately advanced user by now (though I'm was already an advanced DOS/Windows user so that helped.) Have done several Arch and a few Kubuntu installs on several computers ranging from ancient to fairly modern, each bring their own challenges. I'm a glutton for punishment so I started with Arch, but that turned out to be a good idea as I've learned a lot.
Last night I was googling how to add an icon to Plank that presses the "super" key, (because GNOME), and since it's such a weirdly specific problem, I didn't find anything outside of xdotool, so I started trial-and-erroring my way through the frustratingly multi-layered problem.
The solution?
1: Write a script for xdotool, (xdotool key super)
2: Create a .desktop shortcut to the script
3: Create an empty .dockitem file in the launcher folder and input the path to the .desktop file
(Instead of writing the shortcut first and then saving it as a .dockitem, because if you do that, Plank will just outright delete your shiny new .dockitem on launch, which I did what feels like 7 times, because custom .dockitem files have a different format than ones made through Plank, _because_ _of_ _course_ _they_ _do_ )
4: Restart Plank and/or computer (again)
5: Repeatedly ensure that the shortcut works, because I'm not going to just click it once
6: Breathe a sigh of relief
7: Go to sleep, because it's 3 in the frickin' morning
I learn as well on hands. I just install Linux and ran with it, even dump my crutch(Windows). Which totally force me to learn Linux or I was going to have a big paper weight on hands. One thing I never hear much and that's Linux magazines. At one time I was up to 6 Linux magazines monthly subscriptions. I'm now down to 4 Linux magazines monthly subscriptions. Each one have their own website as well, for at least some free content. Some even give out free old archives of their past Linux magazines in a .pdf format. I learn so much from these as the others way you cover here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_magazines
i found noobs lab web page and linux forever on you tube were the 2 that got me on my way in linux mint, and another good you tube channel is chris titus tech
Non linux question. Do you maintain your website or do you have other(s) who do the web pages for you? If you do them yourself, what do you use to create your web pages? I know HTML, CSS, a-bit of Java Script, but I also know there are some very nice content managers out there. It's very time consuming and it seems like you're on top of things, so just looking for you basic work flow and tool suggestion(s). Thanks in advance.
I do everything sadly, Lol. I use a wordpress for a CMS and generally like to create a draft post to outline my video. Then keep refining it as I am writing the video outline. I then publish the post and the video within a couple days of each other and then usually do a final edit to the post to round it out. It adds a little bit of work, but I generally stay in markdown mode and can jam through a webpage creation with SEO optimization in about 30 minutes.
I don't have a foundation nor back ground in IT, I'm pretty much starting from scratch and I want to learn linux, where should I begin? I just signed up for Linux acadamey and I have no idea which course to take.
One suggestion I have is, set up a virtual machine, and try things. It doesn't matter if it breaks inside a vm, it doesn't harm your actual computer.
Thank you, Chris. btw i read arch wiki.
Is there a paperback version of the Arch Wiki, or the Arch manual? I'd like something that I don't have to read on my tiny phone screen while installing. And I just prefer paper books for learning new things in general.
nice video, have a nice week !
The manjaro Wiki/forums are amazing for manjaro users
Hey Chris, big fan of yours. Thank you for great videos! I think "How to completely clone your Linux installation" would be a great video to make. Had to transfer Linux from my laptop to a new one, it's a pain without guidance. Thank you!
Great idea Alex! I'll put this in the queue as I don't think I've ever tried this on a desktop linux install.
@@ChrisTitusTech Have fun! Thank you
@@motoryzen yeah I've looked into that and it was meh. Better use built in options. There is dd, it's built-in and you need only one command. However it requires a lot of accuracy, since it can erase everything. Anyway, there are a lot of ways to do it, I was just wondering if anybody has an expertise in it. I have my python+cuda+keras setup working in a very specific way and it's a pain to install everything from the beginning, about 5+ hours, so I decided to clone an installation
Yeah, would be nice if CTT figured that out. Say backup current installation to a zip file (or is it tar?), which app, then go to some other hardware and restore it. And, have different hardware -- like 2tb harddrive to a 256gb SSD or something like that. Then, instruct us on what problems we would have if we had a certain hardware and restore to different hardware. It's almost impossible in Windows unless you use certain apps; I've done it, but it often causes more problems than its worth -- so, I just have step-by-step instructions how to get everything back together.
Or, even be nice if he shows the backup process in full, then deletes lots of files in system directory -- then restores the OS back and proves to us that it works. Might be a good few videos on how this works. Then, restore to different computer maybe -- if possible. Again, I think I've said this on other videos, because it is something that Noobs (like me) will experience and get frustrated by it. Especially adding a new SSD (say nvme) and moving to it, then getting the boot to work perfect. Probably easier now than when I tried it years ago, because I got overwhelmed and just stopped "killing myself" and stayed in Windows. But, now, I'd be willing to venture out (as I get ideas and motivation from CTT's motivating videos) to move more to LInux. I sure could use MORE SIMPLICITY in my life than Windows, because I'm always troubleshooting problems (especially at home).
5:30 Chris: Your Discord channel is quite bloated, it is quite messy and the moderators are not sure what each section is like as you explain. Twice I have retired from his Discord channel because I am not a person who likes conflicts, and it seems that asking for help in helpdesk is prohibited. On another occasion the moderator caught my attention because I quoted you twice (really? i can't quote you? What's the point?). In my case, I may not have been lucky or you don't visit the channel at all to realize. Regards.
Thanks Hector, I'll talk to them about this. I appreciate the feedback. You can always DM me via Discord, Patreon, and Twitter. I honestly, have timeslots laid out to check each social media avenue. UA-cam still dominates this, but I still check the others daily.
@@ChrisTitusTech Thanks for you kind answer. I left the Discord a couple of weeks ago, I didn't want to bother you with those things because they don't affect me, but they are one of the things I don't like to be part of, at least not as it is now. However, since you talked about Discord today, it seemed like a good time to tell you something I think is a little out of control, which in Discord, is quite common anyway. My idea of the forum originally seemed always the healthiest, because any question remains in the hyperspace forever. From every point of view it is something healthier and more beneficial for the community that you are forging on Linux / Windows and technology in general. I always think that your work has gone the right way, slowly growing and shaping for good. Sorry if I was very direct with my comment, it is a defect that I have had all my life, although I always do it with my best intention, my desire is not to destroy, it never is. I want to see you succeed, my apologies for my way of being and my best wishes for you as always.
I've never ask anything about Linux in forums or read a page that says "how to start with Linux" or similar. I'm just curious and when something comes to my mind I've just try to do it. The best way to learn Linux I think is mess up your computer as much as possible and then figure out what was wrong and fix it or modify things, maybe that way is not for all tho, but works for me :D
Nice video!
Most ppl aren't smart enough to fix computer related problems
I suggest making a video on how to download and install software in Linux. That was my main issue because some software aren't found in the software manager and those are often out of date so then you have do download something on the website. Then you are most often given a couple of commands to enter and/or several distro specific packages to download or sometimes an oddball like flatpaks or appimages. Most Windows users are only familiar with wizards and as a new Linux user it took me some time to get the hang of installation on Linux.
same here having problems installing amd drivers for gpu once this is done i can figure out how to play my windows games on linux
been on linux for 7 years now and i still cant figure out how to install from source, sometimes i fluke it
@@justaman5418 I'm lucky enough that Linux Mint works pretty well out of the box. Christ Titus Tech does have a video on Wine which I highly suggest you take a look at, it is pretty much the most in depth guide on it that a normie can understand. It helped me a *lot* when I got started.
@@debeeriz Like compiling source code myself? Yeah when I find out I have to do that I pretty much nope out immediately lol
Which distribution? it can be a different process distro to distro.
MX linux manual is actually very detailed and useful even though going through it is a pain
Great video Chris! Just trying, doing, failing, succeeding and always stay interested in stuff, that's what helps. Anyway: just logged onto Pluralsight, found a nice course on Linux (there are many): the urbanpenguin is Andrew Mallet, and he is the author of many of those ;-)
I didn't know that! That is awesome to see him expand into the courses on Pluralsite.
I got off on the wrong foot with you. I forget the details, but shortlyafter I first came across your channel I saw a video where I got the impression you supported the censorship/deplatforming/shadowbanning going on here on UA-cam. Regardless of which disagreements we may have on this topic, you are doing great work, both for noobs like myself and obviously also for power users. Subscribed, and I wish you every good thing.
*DARN IT CHRIS...*
*You're really pushing me, to WANT to learn Linux.*
*I'm planning a RYZEN 4000 series build in the future. I was fortunate enough to get a RYZEN 7 1700 running on Windows 7, but for the new one I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about going onto Zorin.*
Do it
hi Chris Titus Tech or anyone i have a problem with my WiFi on manjaro but it still shows up but does not connect. Tanks for your help in advance
Newbie here: Could you suggest a complete course for linux which helps in finding a job.i am open to exploring all sides of it. I switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago and it has been amazing.
I think Gentoo has the best Wiki. By the way did you try it? And if you choose between it and Fedora, which one will you choose?
Now Chris, I think you are doing yourself a disservice. You sound like my brilliant son who thinks what he does is so simple that, "really, anyone could do this" (software coding/development)- lol. NO, it's obvious that certain people have a natural affinity for certain things-- you're one of them. However, you are also pretty good at disseminating your knowledge, which is great. You just are a few rungs above in this stuff than a lot of us will ever be. Love your channel. xx
Thank you for the kind words Tracy!
ive been using pop os because when I built my pc I used windows and installed a nvidia GPU. So when I switched to linux Pop os was the obvious choice for someone new to the linux world.
lol that intro is such a boss intro. haha
If people want to use the Debian wiki, and like me, don't turn off the VPN for _any_ site.. there is a workaround.. two, actually. One, use Tor Browser, *OR* , use StartPage search engine, and look up the Debian wiki, and next to the link, is a link for "Anonymous view." This will bring you there successfully. Now, just drag that link to your bookmarks bar or desktop, rename the link "Debian Wiki," and you're done. That link will take you there every time. I don't know if this interferes with their ads, or if they even have them, but they did it to themselves. I've avoided that site for the past year, but just found these two workarounds on Reddit. They both work.
Which Linux distro do you feel has the most secure profile? Especially if you were thinking of building a web server??
My personal favorite for the "most secure" would be a RHEL/CentOS based server. They ensure the most stability and security where other distros typically favor features.
@@ChrisTitusTech they've now discontinued centoOS :-(
Nice grid illusion on a background
If coming from windows, which is something i did, detatch your mindset from the windows eco system. 2 days later, all is golden.
Btw, all this video offers is learning sources and yet 4 dislikes. Wtf?
That's good advise. Don't assume that things should work in Linux like they do in Windows. Thank God they don't!
Dude that is a great idea how you have done your discord server wish I thought of that.
0:00 _”Hey VSauce, Michael Here!”_
Manjaro forums. One of the most noob-friendly Linux communities ever. Love that place.
Nice video

I know it's been a while but your discord link on your website doesn't work
Would installing Arch in a VM be a good replacement to "practice" in case you don't have an extra PC to test it out with?
Absolutely! I run up lots of different OSs in VMs because it's easy to do, you can take snapshots to roll back to in case you break things badly, you can set up different network setups (NAT, Bridged, internal) so you can do different things with them and if you decide you don't need it, just blow it away and roll up something else. E.g. I wanted to play with building a router (haven't done it in many years) so I did a very basic Debian install on a VM with two network interfaces, bridged one to be my WAN and set the other to "Internal Network". Then I set up the firewall and installed dnsmasq. Set another VM to use "Internal Network" as their only network connection and fire it up to test the router VM out. Works fine. Now to break stuff!!
Lots you can do with VMs. They are usually the first place I start.
@@dingokidneys I'm planning on dual-booting Windows 10 and Manjaro once I get a 1TB disk (I'll leave Windows on my current 250gb SSD), and I was wondering if I could use the VM to iron out any hardware-related kinks that might pop up, since I have an intel/nVidia GPU (it's a laptop).
I'd also take the chance and do an Arch VM and follow the stuff that Chris has on his site, so I can be a bit prepared when I do make the switch.
My "problem" is that I'm not sure if the VM will also use the actual hardware, or if that'll also be virtualized.
@@TheArilysOtter Virtualisation generally emulates a certain hardware setup so you can't actually sort out potential hardware problems of a bare metal install within a VM. You can often, depending on the VM platform, use GPU passthrough to give a VM access to a particular graphics card, but as I understand it, you need two graphics cards installed in the host system and while the host is using one of them (e.g. builtin) you pass a second card through to the VM for its exclusive use.
As for dual booting, I think separate drives for the separate systems is a good idea. I understand that Windows plays better with other systems these days but in the past you always had to make sure to have Windows installed first and then install Linux allowing the Linux boot manager to control OS selection. Always be careful setting up dual boot as you can end up with a system that won't boot into either system until you do some magic with external boot media.
Proceed with caution and do plenty of research and if you can get a hold of a second sacrificial machine, practice on that before doing anything potentially hazardous to your primary machine.
Good luck.
@@TheArilysOtter Thinking again, it is often really quick and easy to replace the HDD in a laptop; remove a screw, pop the old one out, pop the new one in.
Perhaps you can just swap the Windows HDD with a fresh one and install what you want on that. You're working with the hardware directly and if you break it there's no effect on your old system. Just reinstall the new system again from scratch.
I get a few questions here and there from people in Discord, more than willing to help anyone that needs it, we're all a community and here to support each other!
Why Linux crashes after every update?
How do people deal with this?
5:19, I'm right there under your head
u can learn linux by lining or leaning the x.
What is in his system tray icons next to discord?🤔
I am on ubu time what I should learn before goto manjaro
Because I try manjaro but I brraked my system
How old can use manjaro as stable os
Try Manjaro in a virtual machine. Perhaps use VirtualBox. It doesn't matter if you break the virtual machine. You can also keep snapshots of known good setups so if you install something new and break the system, you can go back to the snapshot.
When you think you know Manjaro well enough, you can then put it on your real machine. If you still like it. :)
You can't even view that Christitus web site; some popup loads over the page telling you you have to subscribe to whatever, and there is no way to close it nor scroll past it. I don't even have any use for a company like that anyway.
What distro is this
great title !
Когда искал информацию для Debian в Google, как только перейдя по ссылке попадал на Arch Wiki, быстро убегал в панике с мыслями "Arch - это сложно и не для меня". Сейчас я на Арче и я осознал насколько Arch Wiki - это кладезь знаний.
Learn redhat 6 or 7? Some doofus thought it would be a good idea to change the names of all the commands.
I think you hit everything I would hit, except I would never suggest the Arch forums because of the whole RTFM thing. As a rule I always suggest that you bookmark that Arch and Debian wikis no matter what disro your running, There are a couple things that are distro specific but at the end of the day Linux is Linux and these are the best resources available.
I actually wanted to do a tidbit about this, as the Arch Forums can be extremely hostile. However, for an advanced user it can be a good resource as well.
There's real reasons why duplication of effort is a waste of effort. Which is where RTFM comes from. The last thing anyone should do is ask for help after they've exhausted all other avenues available to them. www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Hi guys, a practical illustration from me today. I installed a 5700 XT in my system with an x570 motherboard and a 3700X and I can't boot into Manjaro anymore. I haven't figured out yet what is going on (I have to eat first) but whatever it is, it sucks. The error message was that Manjaro can't load the kernel modules. I have the latest kernel as far as I know (5.3), I also tried out previous versions (5.2 and 4.*). When I am not hungry anymore I will look on the Manjaro-forum, then in the Arch community and if i can't find a solution I will just try out a live-USB.
Typed from Windows10, it sucks but at least it boots.
The latest version on the website does not have sufficiently recent versions but I was able to get into the console with the help of someone on the Manjaro-forum and I could do an update of the packages. I lucked out, I had updated my system less than a week ago but 3 days ago the packages became available. :')
I don't watch these videos to actually learn linux (i use arch now btw). I watch these to know what to tell people that want to learn linux
In your opinion which distro has the best community support?
ubuntu in my opinion
Ubuntu has the best community forum, but as far as the manual goes don't use the Ubuntu Wiki, use the Debian wiki instead. The Debian wiki is much better as far as layout, better search results, and better presentation. I'm not saying the Ubuntu wiki is bad, but the Debian wiki is better. That Debian wiki is so good that if you need a specific lib for a application build you can search the specific library and it will tell you which package you need to install via APT to get that library file.
@@PenguinRevolution thanks for that
Ubuntu and its childs like pop os....
Ubuntu for sure, even though I'm not a fan of the distro. There community is completely awesome.
Well I agree with you, hands on is important and Google is your best friend ...cherss
In my opinion the best way to learn linux is to take whatever computer you have and use on a regular install a flavor of linux and completely get rid of Windows. When you make it your only option you learn to install it, operate it, and maintain it.
But my question is, is there a road map for it to learn
Would be cool to learn how to install from a pxe image. (Creating the image on a server and configure it to be pxe bootable).
VirtualBox actually provides the infrastructure within its setup so you can play with PXE booting. You drop the image/installer files into ~/.VirtualBox/TFTP along with the kernel and initrd and some other pxelinux specific files, set the VM to boot from the network and it will work. Enough to start learning with anyway. It actually took me quite a while to get a system to boot.
The DNS server seemed the biggest hurdle to me on my home network until reading up on router builds pointed me to just directing your gateway router to you own DNS server for name resolution. Duh!
For those who are seriously interested, I would add two more options here:
1. UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook. The only book that covers the system in depth.
2. The Linux foundation runs a free 60-hour online course called LFS101.
The Linux foundation is cancer.
@Paul Frederick Isn't it obvious, They created a 60-hour snore fest to try to get people to move back to Windows and It's still not working lol.
@@ChrisTitusTech you may be onto something there. Whatever the case The Linux Foundation is not for people like us. They have zero interest in promoting Linux to people like us too. People who cannot afford to become platinum Foundation members.
I've only heard good things about that course. Besides, it is free. I would've given it a try if I was a beginner.
that narrow address bar just hurts my eeyes aghh
Chris CTT discord link is not working
Just recently realized that the other main source of Linux videos I watch is also called Chris. Uncanny! Thus, I will affectionately refer to each of you as American Chris, and British Chris.
chriswere if anyone's interested
I hope that Chris covers something that many people have wanted and searched for in Linux communities, is how to setup a Mail Server for Linux. I'd love to move away from Gmail and just host a mail-server at home. It'd be nice to know how to setup rules that process mail as it is incoming ... like send political mail to trash, etc. Does anyone have ideas on how to do this? Could someone point me to a step-by-step document or video? I looked and many of them are Indian where people are hard to understand. Thanks.
in 2007 my son emailed me about my Linux, which I do not recall.
tldp.org is great too.
Everyone should read that whole site at least three times. Maybe not all in a row though.
Thing about linux and operational systens is that i dont even know what i have to learn.
Good morning
Good Morning! In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight ;)
You also forgot the most excellent Going Linux Podcast run by Larry Bushey!

Install it
why not cover contribs.org - it is rock solid?
i watched your year ... your good .. not too much more to learn , try to get to my lev and learn some C language , advance scripting (exc), your good - some of your older videos i disagree with or know a few better shortcuts that i picked up over 20+ years .. i know your a new Linux fanboy but you got it down quick , linux is EZ ... i see linux / windows / mac / will no longer ever be a difference, it will all be GUI and running BSD as the kernel (LOL my next 20 year perdiction_ )
Thanks Thomas, I agree with you... some of my early videos were very cringe. However, that's what I get for learning on the fly and making videos while doing it ;)
