Linux: The Origin Story 

Btw, u forgot to put links for some distros, I believe it will be better for new comers

Hey Great video style love it. Would also be helpful if you add all of your youtube channels in the Channels section. Makes it easier to hop from one to another 😃

💚

I was the 2220 subscriber!!!

HAHA I Was wondering if that’s your channel

They must be

And nowadays Finnish universities use only Windows and they don't even host their own email servers anymore...

Rightfully so, I would say

@@tikkasen_urakointi at least in Aalto you can find ubuntu desktops and macs

yeah to manage the development of Linux, however, he has quite a lot of influence so someone else's versioning system would probably be used otherwise.

Totally agree. It feels like Microsoft is about to jump ship too…which is odd to say. But since the peak of Windows XP, every version of Windows has gotten worse. I realize that it’s been said that Windows has a pattern that goes: good, bad, good, bad, etc. Personally, I believe it’s actually been: good, bad, fixed, worse, sucks less, terrible, etc. Windows 11 is a great example for the downfall of Windows. There can only be so many drops in quality and privacy/ownership before even the greatest of fanboys can admit it’s garbage

"GPU pass-through is also possible with VM technology" There are very awesome projects like LookingGlass ( An extremely low latency KVMFR (KVM FrameRelay) implementation for guests with VGA PCI Passthrough. ) which make great use of it. Totally recommend.

As a Windows 10 user trying out Garuda Linux on my laptop I'm surprised how easy it's been to adjust and how much more fun it is to use without needing to fight threw Windows nonsense. Sure, it has its problems here and there and a lot it still handled in the terminal, but I think it's starting to hit the critical point where it can start to catch on, especially with people like me fleeing from Windows 11. My experience has been good enough I'm actually planning to get a Pinephone Pro to experiment around with a Linux phone as an alternative to my current (rather old) samsung

@@danielcoffman1022 most reviewers are very positieve about Windows 11...

@@Setsunone and how do we know these reviews weren’t paid?

Definitely. Just installed Zorin on a laptop from 2007.

@@nojigscan I ask how much ram and ram speeds it has? As that seems one problem I'm encountering with my old laptop. Also there is an arch Linux distro that seems even more friendly on the computer specs, but the GUI is a lot different.

@@StormCrusher94 Celeron 585 2.1GHz. 2Gb of DDR2 RAM, at 667 speed. Lubuntu's another distro that runs well on it. Might be worth giving it a try. Laptop is an emachines E520 from 2008.

@@nojigs I see thanks. Seems that the bottleneck in my case is the CPU. Only have 1.3Ghz.

@@StormCrusher94 It should still be enough to run a few of the low-spec distros. There's a few to try. Puppy Linux is another that might be worth a shot.

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you!

Because Nobel of Science does not exist. Categories are Chemistry, Physics, Medicine/Physiology, Literature and Peace. He has been awarded few other prizes though, including Millennium Technology Prize

Linux has picked up where Unix and BCD started. Linus has very smartly repacked and ported to PC hardware. You don't get a Nobel prize for that.

@@ninefingerdeathgrip thanks for your answer.

@@petermoeller5901 I mean, you don't get a Nobel for repacking an existing OS, but one should indeed be recognized by the fact he did his best to make it available to everyone as an open source software. Also, Git is also an open source project - another important step in software evolution despite its predecessor.

Year of desktop Linux is different for anybody. -gingerkitty-

Linux is a great OS, but many application packages are not available on Linux, especially professional software. Maybe you can list what you do on your computer, what applications you use? That would give you switching to Linux meaning. I can browse the web and watch RU-vid on my phone, or a $100 tablet you know. Many Windows apps can be installed without rebooting. Linux wants to reboot after many updates. No big difference in the reboot department. I think you have the wrong idea - mislead people on purpose. You tell me.

@@petermoeller5901 Linux, to me, is for personal use, so I don't require professional software. I never have Linux requiring a reboot after an update, except for kernel updates. MS almost always requires rebooting. Have you tried Linux?

@@jeancorriveau8686 if he has an Android phone then he has Linux 👏 But I understand he probably means GNU/Linux for desktop.

Read "Just for fun" Linus book. It has much more information.

Nice! Thanks! :)

Exactly gnu + linux is the complete os

An entire distro is an operating system

@@KangJangkrik well that's not true u can easily boot a kernel from grub without a gui

@@adyanrehan3360 I understand there is a thing called "built-in shell" in the kernel. However, you can't run nginx (and other practical apps) from there. Even if possible, you'll put a lot of effort there. So yea- you'll need distro for server stuffs too. (I use arch btw, for home server)

@@KangJangkrik yeah kinda true bcz package managers matter also I don't use linux for both my server and desktop I use openbsd on both of them , I have also tried solaris

Honestly it’s nice because I think people have run out of context for coding videos for the most part. It’s always just why you shouldn’t learn X, which language is best or how to learn X fast.

@@zunetrav4 i only do that when i need a quick crash course anyway haha. Yea, lots of coding videos are super repetitive these days. Although recently I'm super into monitors...coding in wide monitor

It was Ari Lemmke who renamed Freax to Linux on the University of Helsinki's FTP. Lemmke also convinced/pushed Linus to finally choose GNU (while Linus was already considering this.) The first transatlantic copy of Linux on FTP was done by Theodore "Ted" Ts'o. Ts'o is the maintainer of the ext4 filesystem and e2fsprogs to this day. It is said in this French documentary (from the German-French joint channel 'arte') "Codename: Linux" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JNbnW8P_PXs.html (around 13:30 to 15:00 m:s). The documentary is sooo good. From the early 2000's. Try searching for English subtitles version.

You wanted to close the Gates that were open, on purpose.

I can't see that Ritchie was part of the GNU project. He might have contributed but his claim to fame was creating Unix with Thompson and Kernighan, and also creation of C. Of course I'm sure he wrote other software, which might be considered Free. GNU is a project started by Richard Stallman.

Epomaker sk71

He even did not mention Richard Stallman. Not fair.

@@asphixmx so true linux is just the kernel the true effort was in writing the coreutils any one can write a kernel

@@adyanrehan3360 Why didn't GNU write one?

@@SamtheSham2000 u mean stall man yes he wrote one but it wasn't as popular as linux

No thanks. This video is too poor.

agreed, i don't use kde but i admit that kde is the best desktop when it comes to usability and customization. Combine with ubuntu, the most stable and usable distro, kubuntu is one of the best desktop distro

I use Arch btw

Bodhi linux is the best *buntu.
