Thank you so much for the shoutout, Nick! Your videos are an inspiration and I can always count on you to give a reasoned take on the Linux topics of the day. You are appreciated, thank you!
Jay and Veronica are both great at teaching. And I really enjoyed their three way video chat with Tom recently. In that one, Jay was taking notes on things Veronica was bringing up.
"Linux Command Line" Book by William Shotts ( free download ). "DJ Ware" is a very knowledgeable YT channel ( probably not for beginners ). Shout out to "Joe Collins" ( look I've been using Linux for years 😉 ) Good video Nick.
The book "Linux Command Line" is an excellent resource! I had recently purchased a copy from Amazon and feel it's a solid starting point for beginners. I wholeheartedly reccomend it!
12:15 as a Canadian who has had to deal with so much French/English nonsense this made me laugh. That being said your voice is very good on the ears :)
Wonderful to see a shout out to Veronica Explains. She's amazing and needs more views, honestly. Nice job on the video as well. I use debian, but a lot of information for Linux is interchangeable between distros, which is nice
This is an amazing video! I've been using Linux for a long time, but everything I've learned is just bits and pieces. Taking an actual course would help dramatically thank you
The Linux Command Line by William Shotts is a great book. Published by No Starch Press (which generally have high quality books), but also available as a free download (creative commons license).
I started with Ahmed Alkabary's book and found it a decent resource for understanding Linux beyond the desktop. Learning from practical resources has been more useful, though - there is no beating experience and experimentation. Thanks for your help with the Linux Experiment, Nick! 🥰
as someone who is working on an LFS install, i've found that using a virtual machine is perfect as you can pause and save them. i run the vm on my server, work on it a couple hours a week, have it compile in the background and save it at the end of the day. it's a great timesaver, especially because i can simply close my laptop and the vm will keep running.
Well, Nick, as I just said in my previous comment ... "made by the community FOR the community". Your modesty is a bonus to your "compliance" with the motto :-) and I appreciate it very much. Keep it up !
Geeky minds think alike (French accent optional)... 😁100% agreement on recommending Learn Linux TV and Veronica Explains -- the _other_ two Linux info channels I patreonize. LLTV can be a bit pedantic but makes up for it in being thorough, and Veronica Explains is pure, bubbly fun delivery of valuable Linux info with frequent coverage of legacy computer systems.
Learn Linux TV is a really great one. It's so many more YT channels on Linux I don't know where to start. Network Chuck does some Linux videos also Mental Outlaw and many more. It's no reason that someone can't switch to Linux. Oh that's a channel too. Switched to Linux
For recommendations, there's also this French Dawn of War Let's player that started doing Linux News a few years back. Fair disclaimer, dude does some highly unorthodox stuff, like having good production values, not sitting in his man cave with only his server rack and five monitors for illumination or genuinely liking Gnome. But his videos are quite entertaining, always a joy to see in my feed. Dude also started a 40K voice acting channel and hasn't been uploading in a while…
I've always wondered where you and others get all their Linux related news. In a way you've just given enough sources so others can now start their own Linux news channel giving the highlights they want to cover.
TLE seemingly relies a lot on Phoronix. If you have ever visited Phoronix you'll quickly notice many of the screenshots in the weekly Linux news videos come from that website.
Moved from Windows to Ubuntu Pro in the last month. Be prepared to run into a couple minor issues. Haven’t lost any functionality yet. Happy with my choice.
i know it might sound pretty awful but i have primarily learned to use linux by using the github repos of the applications/dirvers/kernels i wanted to use that seamed to further my purposes some of them have surprisingly deep information or documentation on what to do how and when
An off topic question, Where did you learn your English? you are very fluent with hardly any french accent, I've been living in North America for much of my adult life and you are leaps and bounds ahead of me.
The possibility of making a 15 minute Video of how and where to learn linux might, in my oppinion, scare completely new users away. My advice, and how I learned everything, is just use any Distro with a big community and dont think about if or how linux is different and just look things up you are trying to do. That way you only learn what you actually need.
Absolutely, the way I suggest here is just how I learn everything. By just using it. Still great Video btw. but in my opinion just not for complete newcomers but rather for relatively new users who are already interested in learning more.@@TheLinuxEXP
From - Microsoft Windows 11 - Microsoft Windows Server 2025 To - Linux Ubuntu 24 - Linux Ubuntu Server 24 I need to learn more about Linux from a Microsoft User.
I would say that starting with Linux From Scratch is a very bad idea. If you really want to learn everything start with Arch and then Gentoo. Maybe even some NixOS. Then maybe if you're hungry for more, though many will feel they've had enough, you can do Linux From Scratch.
