Linux Explained by an Apple User 

I love this man's sense of humour!

sameeee LOL

@@perrypereyra6671 Your intention to say _"Saaaaaaame!"_ unintentionally invoked Sam's family nickname - _"Sammmyyyyy"_ - if you look at your phonetics, and which vowel you used to elongate the word "Same" It's okay, a common error amongst people online. 😜

I liked Terminal the movie but still laughed at the joke. 🤣

I was eating and had a full mouth when that bit came on haha

My screen was upside down once on a Gnusmas monitor. That's about all.

Chrome seems to be misunderstanding, but the screen is an obvious joke.

@@kiran9s honestly, the whole video is a joke. Don't take anything seriously :)

@@mikeonthecomputerI accidentally did that on my friends laptop but it was running windows 8. There’s a key combo for that…

@@mikeonthecomputer True, but most of the video was spot on.

Now, what are they?!

🤫

😅 nice --11

Probably a backhanded reference to X11 windowing system?

X11❤

IT start by hading on Linux, it end on Arch Linux btw ps Sam started on Arch and then nothing works ... that is no good.

​@@zeocamoarch not begineer friendly. Debian distros better like feren os

@@furdiburd Need beginner friendly, it's Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Linux Light. All are Ubuntu based, but Mint and Light are more polished.

@@zeocamo Also Linux on M1 Macbooks is still in pre-beta stage, it's basically broken still. So not really an unexpected experience there. New user should imo really get started with something like Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

@@Sjoerd1993 yes, i write this on the video too.

I use both Mac OS for work and Fedora on my PC laptops and yea this was pretty funny considering MacOS and Linux are cousins and most people who are Apple users would be more comfortable with Linux than Windows. LOL

@@joesalyers - Perhaps someone aught to explain the cousins thing to elementaryOS.

@@joesalyers Linux is the poor man's Apple.

"Unfuckable Linux distro"

​@@Trident_Euclid*We'll see about that.*

A lot of linux distributions like Debian are stupidly stable anyways. Its pretty hard to break unless you really mess with things you shouldnt have.

Hahaha. I guess you've never installed an immutable system. They are far from unbreakable, especially from a new user perspective. You can easily have your system "break" from the new user perspective by something going awry with the KDE or Gnome settings in your home folder.

You can hardly break you system if you don't touch the terminal or execute any "sudo something" command, something you don't need to use to run your system and install programs like you would on a Windows or MacOS. You generally only need it for already advanced stuff or debugging when you fucked up something because you ran a sudo command.

_JUST suDO IT_

I mean... Same logic applies to a propietary os as well though, doesn't it?

no because on windows you can't edit the kernel without using reactos or knowing machine language hacking but on every single Linux you can edit the kernel in C language because of the GPL and if they don't let you edit the kernel the company is breaking US law@@Iisakki3000

You can even make a whole new Linux by yourself.

And where do you make it? In the terminal, of course. If you're really skilled you can use cat, because good programmers never need to edit the source.

chromium (the open source alternative) is exactly the same and available in all btw

@@chickenbobbobba that too. But he is right about Libreoffice as it just isn’t as good.

​@@chickenbobbobba 1 : it's not "exactly" the same. Chrome is based off the open source chromium much like Android is based off of AOSP, aka the Android Open Source Project. It's basically a way for google to pretend to be pro-FOSS to get PR and not be legislated into the dirt without them actually having to make their software open source. It's stupid that companies have to do that but, as the EU has proven, democracy works; your right to private choices goes out the window as soon as a few million people don't like the port your putting on the devices they're voluntarily purchasing. "boo hoo the environment" neat then stop buying them. "boo hoo repairability" neat then stop buying them. "boo hoo locked down appstore" neat. then. stop. buying. them. Realistically all this does is deny Google the rope to hang themselves and keep them in a perpetual state of just not-shit-enough for people to leave and create a truly superiour competitor, but who would expect politicians to actually think about the consequences of the bills they pass? 2 : you can literally just install google chrome. Not chromium, google chrome. I am looking at both Google Chrome and the Google Chrome Developer/Unstable build packaged as flatpaks inside of my software store right now as the top two results by typing in "chrome" and hitting enter.

@@chickenbobbobba almost exactly

It is unavailable in some distros.

However Linux users will do everything to keep you away from that ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY browser.

@@subaru4920 Because people don't use Linux. It's literally just 3% of the desktop market share.

And it also has something like Microsoft Office that is enough for normal use.

Guys above me, you are rock! Free (as in freedom) software is our everything!

@@APPLP1E to be fair it is an awful browser that's basically just spyware

This guy gets it.

@@EightNineOne what us XNU ????

​@@xgui4-studiosIt's the kernel stolen by Steve Jews 😂

​@@UnixPerdunix Steve **Jews** ?! 😂

Don’t you make the sacred operating system dirty with your Unix filth!

im pretty sure h e knows sudo is not a magic spell

@@ceticx Yeah, but that's how he made it seem in the video, so I went along with it 😉 I'm just explaining if anyone who doesn't know is curious

About sudo, he's just making a joke. As an avid arch linux user, you do kinda need sudo for almost anything that requires to break out the terminal.

@@logosking2848 thats only because basic tasks dont need admin rights, and nowadays linux has usually has GUI options for basic tasks

Karen is that you 😂

if your pc is not one of the latest most drivers will just work, i dont know why is he so critical of linux, like installing things is just writing at most 3 lines of command compared to wasting 5-6mins in whatever os they use.

​@@oksowhatThat's Arch thing you see, he shouldn't have started at Arch.

@@oksowhat The only piece of hardware that I have that worked halfway-decently on Linux was a Microsoft Surface. Everything else corrupted the FS in short order and crashed frequently.

I've had the same experience with Kubuntu and Ubuntu! Both worked out of the box flawlessly for me. I tried Linux once in college and gave up... it's actually very easy now if you use a stable distro. This video was hilarious though!

@@GoogleDoesEvil Just the opposite for me. I've put different versions of linux on various pcs, and the only ones that gave me fits are the Surfaces.

Yeah, I was about to comment that, idk what he's on about.

Chrome "original" is different from chromium in terms of branding. I think this is what he meant.

@@darukutsu Yes, but still the original Google Chrome is available on Linux.

@@darukutsu chromium and chrome both work just fine

I only knew about chromium since it's in repository.

Technically the militant Linux advocate would refuse to install any proprietary software on principle.

@@kevinclass2010 Agreed. But I can say for sure that Sam is not a militant Linux advocate...

There are a ton of inaccuracies in this vid

@@banks3388 Agreed

​@@kevinclass2010true, very true. I kinda do that and I'm not even a militant user.

they made it tough on purpose. they just want their software on their overpriced hardware.

Laughs in pre built efi

Apple users don't install OS's, they get them preinstalled on Apple hardware! I'm sure the installation by a bot that can do it in under 5 minutes costs around $200+ as a hidden charge!

Opencore works on most hardware (even Ryzen iGPUs) these days…..

@@_denzy_6310don’t laugh in a prebuilt efi. If you build your own, you get faster boot times, less clutter, and usually more native Apple features (like FileVault & Apple secure boot)

It’s a sarcastic video

why is no-one mentioning that just about every non-buntu distro (canonical have their own thing that does basically the same job but is technically different) can install flatpaks, which don't require any root privilages, from their software store? Of all the issues people are pointing out that he didn't mention alternatives and not the things that he just flat out got wrong

And then he discovers sudo returns!

Have you ever Noticed nothing good ever starts with terminal?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue Opens up terminal on MacOS, and run: say "Have you ever Noticed nothing good ever starts with terminal?"

And I love using inferior versions of applications because Apple forces developers to use a strict list of technologies. For example, iOS web browsers can only use WebKit, and nothing can use Vulkan. I love powerful hardware that's nerfed by bad software!

Which one of the long list of software screwups are you referring to here? I moved to Mac in 2008 and caught leopard, then snow leopard, but besides 10.9 Mavericks it’s been a downhill slope ever since.

it's a blessing in disguise, because you can install Linux on the device instead.

​@@autohmaewell, with ARM, it's screwed for some time again.

@@spl420Asahi is already working

S*DO

fun fact: sudo is on MacOS as well

17 years linux user here - I stopped customizing 10 years ago and I like my distros as they are - not even changing the default background. 🥰

Congrats to you and the other two people where ever they are that game on linux....

​@@sk_jay bro the steam deck alone has sold over a million units confirmed and likely over 2-3 by now. Cope.

​@@punpcki have ascended and started using unconfigured i3 (aside from rofi and some minor adjustments)

Really? I switched from Linux to macOS years ago. Steam works on macOS and hell even wine(yes that is what Proton uses) works great on macOS. The more games via Linux? maybe one or two that won't work on macOS yet. But that is changing all the time, thanks to CodeWeavers. Native games? There are more native AAA and indie games on macOS over Linux. Don't get me wrong I love Linux but not for desktop. I am a gamer and the best way to game right now is Windows. So I use all three operating systems to their strengths. Windows for games, Linux for servers. and macOS for everything else.

@@SirRandallDoesStuff lol what? steam is on macOS, but the majority of games dont work on the new macs' arm processors, and since apple is so restrictive with their software its hard to make them work well. proton works much better for gaming on linux than any tool on macOS. native games dont need to be on linux, because they run great through proton, and the amount of proton compatible games vastly outnumbers the native games on macOS. unless you play a lot of competitive games with invasive anti-cheats, windows doesnt have that much of an advantage over linux for games. even if you do, the number of competitive games playable on linux has been increasing.

​@@SirRandallDoesStuffsteam os is based on arch linux

​@@SirRandallDoesStuffI'm sorry but as a gamer, the best way to game right now is on console, not Windows. Sure the experience is far less pleasant for a bunch of reasons, but considering you're looking for simplicity as you clearly don't want to bother playing of Linux despite being able to run most AAA games and almost all indie games, your best choice is consoles, not PC.

@@meow69696 Huh? Cyberpunk runs great on Linux with an older NVIDIA 2070 here.

This guy Linuxes. Ctrl + D

"This incident will be reported" To who? My root account?

@@FlushDesert22 Santa Claus

Rtfm. It tells you who it will be reported to.

`apt`? `pacman`? `aptitude`? Hellooooo??!

Exactly lol I posted that too 😅

wait you didn't have any corn!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you don’t value your time

sometimes ( mostly) you get more options through the terminal. Most people don't need all the options. It's also the easiest way to run stuff as an admin. I find I don't use all the fancy, newest stuff in the GUIs either

It's unambiguous, self-documenting, and generally faster. Verbally describing a task seems a lot more efficient than playing charades

simple: cause it's a fucking pain in the ass to use an app store, on any OS, for any app it sucks on windows, it sucks on mac, it sucks on GNOME and KDE, synaptic sucks, YaST sucks, everything out there finds a way to suck somehow

@@supercellex4D wait do you think people have to pick between an APP STORE and a TERMINAL on pc (and mac for that matter) to install stuff?

@@seanfaherty i mean there being more options in the terminal is only true if the GUI is bad enough (my original point)

You don’t say…

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

it wasn't in his package manager "app store" so he was lost... lol

What? I have made at least 10 folders in my home folder and it hasn't even given a warning Did you try to make it outside the /users/ folder? Or did you not manage to find your home folder? Because if it is the latter yeah it is a bit annoying that home is oddly hidden, to access it you either have to: - Open finder preferences and add it to the sidebar from there - Control-click the text at the top of the window that shows the name of the current folder you are in, at which point it will show you the directory in a drop down menu - Search /users/[user]/ in spotlight - Right click finder in the dock and click go to folder and type the directory - Hold option at which point the directory is going to show up at the bottom of the screen Unrelated but hidden folders are shown with command-option-. if you are looking for the /users/[user]/library folder And also holding option when the control-click menu allows for more options like copying the directory, opening something in a new window and opening the inspector which I can't notice any difference from the get info menu other than that it has a smaller font and no opening/closing animation why is it there I guess this turned into useful finder stuff that are not explained anywhere

it's changed to sodu

soda

By powerful, sudo is running as if the operating system itself run the command (in CS terms, root). Btw, sudo is on MacOS's terminal as well.

​@@tanawatjukmongkol2178 sudo account on MacOS are disabled by default, but it is Simple to enable it.

I was also wondering the same thing, he does this joke a lot, and never once have I ever experienced it.

I had weird behaviors with dual monitors setup I think on Linux Mint XFCE or cinammon a time ago, even after installed, it was mainly related to not being able to change the primary display accordingly, but upside down displays are a new one to me

All that knowledge and experience… and you can’t even comprehend he’s a satire/comedy channel, how is that possible? :/

zsh isn't even based on bash and macOS uses bash these days, not zsh. macOS used to use tcsh
