There are a lot of ways to install software in linux distros like apt, snap, .deb , .tar etc. Which might be overwhelming for new linux users. Can you please make a video on explaining all these? And thanks for today's video :)
yes, please with pros and cons Further options: docker Another video idea: How to encrypt/decrypt ntfs filesystems so that they are usable under windows and linux
Great video idea but if you're having trouble with this in the meantime there are plenty resources online that explain this. One of the skills you'll need to develop to be a successful Linux user is seeking out online help. But don't worry, there's tons of it.
The easier and stable (and a bit older) method is always using your official repos; for Ubuntu that would be Ubuntu Software icon (or apt install via command line); the deb option is normally only suited for packages you cant get in the official previous way, but keep in mind it doesnt solve the dependencies automagically for you; snap packaging is a more modern encapsulated format meant to have one package that suits every distro and with all dependencies built-in; finally, compiling the source code of any software is left for developers/tinkerers that want cutting edge features (not included in stable-official-older versions) or when you need some specific option that doesnt come in the general standard binary version (i.e. support flagged as "experimental" that you need to enable with some switch during compilation time)
The example of plugging the printer and being recognized in a second, plus the fact that the entire os plus a great set of applications were installed in a nutshell, proves how far linux, or better said gnu-linux, has evolved. Windows on the other hand keeps being close if not the same as what it was when it was called NT. Great review as allways. Thanks for your great content.
@@RichardiOS275 Gnome is really nice with just a few tweaks. For example, I make my Gnome look like a Windows desktop by putting the top bar and dock in a single bar at the bottom. All in all, it doesn't matter. You can customize anything on whatever Linux distro you prefer. Just saying, Gnome plays nice where I need it to.
When I first saw this video, RU-vid truncated the title to "Ubuntu 20.04 For Windows", and it gave me flashbacks of IBM's "OS/2 for Windows" -- a version of OS/2 designed to install on top of Windows 3.x in such a way that you could run Windows applications (natively, not via emulation) from within OS/2 without needing to dual-boot. A modern-day "Linux for Windows" like this would be a great idea!
I had a Escom P90MHz PC that had OS/2 Warp (Native) and Win 3.11 in a box, or able to restart and load.... (Natively?!) Anyway I ditched the for Win 95 soon after. Wish I hadn't now.
Hello? Can you make a video on how to install Linux on windows without usb? I and many others are not able to find our usbs, and as you know, because of the pandemic, we are not being able to buy a new one.
Another great video, Chris. I upgraded from 18.04 LTS as soon as 20.04 LTS was released, and I have noticed that my applications launch faster on average. The boot time might be slower by about 5 seconds, but that's purely academic.
What a great tutorial man! This was a great video overall and helped me in some ways. I already understood the concept of installing Ubuntu (since I install Windows a thousand times) There were a few things during the installation I wasn't sure if I wanted to add but you helped me out! Thanks!
i follow a lot of tech channels big and small, but I just wanna say yours stands out so much. Love the sorta retro intro/music and your simple, non over-the-top presentation. Anyway, thanks for another great video.
I have installed Arch a couple of times already. I watch these kinds of videos to see if they are factually correct and tell you how to do things the right way. Thankfully, you've done a great job showing off how to get Ubuntu 20.04 installed and giving it a good insight to its workflow. Good job on this video.
Mr.Scissors accompanied his triumphant appearance by Inkscape, so Ubuntu 20.04 was only a minor matter. But seriously, great video for those who want to show Windows their backs.
I would like to say being an apprentice geek at 71 yoa, I find watching your videos very clear and understanding, your delivery expertly done, your dry humour comforting, I have learnt so much watching these videos which are MY go to watch listen smile and learn, thank you so much and please continue to advise us all that we are never to old to learn, try and appreciate new things, best regards Michael.
I remember back when I was first installing Linux (the pre-RU-vid days), being able to see things when they go right was very helpful. I guess going to user group 'install fests' were the next best thing back then ;-D. So, this video is good stuff! Thanks for another great video Chris.
I wanted to learn the Linux systems this lock down period and this video is my introduction to your channel and I've got to say, the production quality is extremely good! You have a new subscriber.
I actually tried this a few weeks ago as my first time experiencing Linux. It’s really good, I then tried other Linux distos which really made me more interested if I had to retrieve my files if my windows computer suffered corruptions. Interesting video as always ExplainingComputers, stay safe at home!
Well done 👍. Enjoy your Tea 😊 It's amazing to see the Ubuntu evolve to such a point where we see a smooth plug and play of a printer and the fully functional selection of photo editing, now vector editing, and the video editing too. Oh and now that Microsoft has office online as you pointed out there really isn't anything you can't do with this fully functional OS. Again nice job of showing how to install and demonstration was spot on. 👊😉
_"there really isn't anything you can't do"_ That's quite a bold statement. Professional use of bespoke applications is still a major barrier with any Linux distribution. Sure WINE and PlayOnLinux are helpful, but it invariably means going back at least 2 or 3 major revisions in order to get top-end commercial applications to work - and that's assuming they've reached at least a silver level on WineHQ. Users relying on contemporary industry standard applications to make a living, are still very much shackled to OS-Hex or Winblows.
Focused fossa goes on my VB. Great distro. Itching to test out, to see what is capable of. Hello Chris. Excellent video. 👌🏻 Brightens my Sunday afternoon. 🌞 Stay safe. Take care.
Hi Elvira. Always great to hear from you. I had to admit to being more impressed with Ubuntu 20.04 than I thought I would be (aside from its terrible handling of external recording devices -- I had forgotten why I don't use Ubuntu on this channel!). My first thought was to run it in VB, but I know I'd get complaints if it was not on bare metal in a video!I hope that you are keeping safe and well in these troubled times.
ExplainingComputers Thank you. I agree. It is different story to run it from bare metal compared to VB. As for me, first step - testing out in VB, to get insight of pros and cons, than to external disks to be dual booted from. Anyway fossa looks very promising. And the face of focused fossa reminds me of my cat’s face when in hunting mode. Alert and focused. 😆
Ubuntu 10.04 was my 1st Linux experience. Been hopping around on Linux today and am happy to be on Arch linuz. Either Ubuntu or mint is great way for new users to get into Linux and build up their confidence and knowledge.
I love your breakdowns to install Linux operating systems, especially the Ubuntu range, in clear English without the use of Terminal language, script or coding. Layman's terms for a layman to use - great video!
I followed and installed ubuntu in my computer... i told my colleagues at work i started using ubuntu... 2 asked me how much it cost me... 8 asked me whats that? 1 asked me whats the difference between windows and ubuntu. Clearly we need to do more to inform people about other operating systems. I want to thank explaining computers for making me smarter.
I started Linux in 2003 with Fedora 1,2,3,4,5 etc. ...also tried Susse plus several others. I have been on Mint since it appeared and now on Mint v19.3 I use Arduino on both Mint and Windoze.
Following your excellent instructions, I have converted an older (still 64-bit) Windows HP laptop to an Ubuntu 20.04 laptop. Feels very good. The only issue was getting the laptop to interrupt the boot and change it to the USB port. The ESC key was the right one on this device. Then, mysteriously, the USB port didn't show on possible boot devices. I went through the steps a second time, and on that try, 'Scandisk' appeared. From that point, it was follow your instructions and the Fossa prompts. Thanks so much!
I'd never thought of using an external drive for a dual boot system before but I like the idea, it would probably also give you the option to migrate the drive and OS to another computer with the same architecture as well.
Migrating to another system can be problematic for an OS installed UEFI (and the installed drivers will be for the system the OS was install on). But it may work!
I use exactly the same method that Chris demonstrates here, and yes, once you have an external Linux boot drive you can boot other computers from it perfectly well. I have four external drives, each with different versions of Linux, and I can use any of them to boot either of my computers (one Linux Mint, the other Windows 10) without any problems at all.
My computer kept freezing. I talked to a friend and he told me about Ubuntu. Oh bloody hell! Why had I been used windows for all these years? This is insanely awesome
@Félix Sánchez Hi Félix, Linux is getting really better at games. If you use Steam even better. Research a bit about activating proton on Steam and try it out.
@Félix Sánchez On Steam there are a lot of Linux versions of games you might assume were Windows only. I play Team Fortress 2 often on my Linux machine, and I even get higher frame rates than on the Windows version.
I've not touched Linux for 25 year when in the mid to late 90's I tried SuSe. Doing a law degree, whilst working and being a single parent turned out not to be the best time to learn a new system. Present day Ubuntu is like chalk and cheese to those basic times and I have to say I’m really enjoying learning it and I have all my Arduino stuff on there. I'm now an iMac, Windows 10 and Linux user so I can go and have a fight with myself.
I did something similar a couple weeks ago. First create a virtual machine then use physical external SSD as the only HDD. After installed the SSD is bootable now. This way is much safer.
I moved to Ubuntu 20.04 about two months ago and love it. One tip for Windows users. Desktop shortcuts to documents are not possible, at least in the base product. So, you will use Files > Starred, to open your favorite documents. No problem once you are aware of it.
I guess, I'm still on Debian, even though this release looks promising. Furthermore, the video is great, this channel is always great in terms of content
I like the C3PO reference (most likely referring to the red arm). Most people do not realize it but he had a silver leg in the original StarWars, but it usually reflected the other leg, or the sand and looked gold. It was gold in the rest of the series.
For the impatients (like me) I recommend the torrent download of Ubuntu installer, as a blazingly fast (and legal) use of this network (it's always under "alternate downloads" in the webpage)
Love the work you're doing here. Looking forward to the Pi Zero network camera PDLP you teased at the end of the hamster feeding video. I've been having trouble with headless setup with my Zero W. I am pretty sure this is because I don't have a firm grasp of the wpa-supplicant.conf. Again, keep up the fantastic work, you're an inspiration to us all!
Thanks for this. The Pi Zero camera video is now complete, and does indeed cover the wpa config (which is the tricky bit!). The video was due to release on 17th May, but may get pushed on two weeks to make way for a new SBC that I may get hold of before then.
Very nice! I've switched to Fedora 32 for now and I've fallen in love with Gnome's Dash to Panel interface. It doesn't look like Windows 10. It looks better than Windows 10. It feels weird since Linux is usually paired with older hardware and dated visuals, but I'm glad I've moved. So far LibreOffice has been sufficient, but I may eventually shake up some of the programs I'm using. Well done on the video!
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but Ubuntu did pretty good at picking up my network printer. My Canon laser printer is connected to my network. I never even configured printers, but my laptop picked it up and configured it automatically by virtue of just being on the same network as that printer. It's pretty neat.
Christopher, I have one little point of criticism in regard to this otherwise good video. Though certain software is Windows exclusive there also is a lot of great Linux-only software and software which works better on Linux (like Blender). A small example, if you want to rearrange PDF-files, that is quite difficult on Windows but on Linux you literally start typing pdf in your package-searcher, you find pdf arranger, you install it and you can use it immediately without any learning curve. You want t record music? Same thing, on Windows there is good proprietary software available but on Linux you can get something suitable for it immediately. Also I think that people focus too much on "which programs is a substitute for this" and too little on "how do I get X, Y and Z done". Photoshop is a good example, GIMP does not replace it, it is better in some ways, less good in other ways and if you combine Gimp with Krita and Inkscape then you can get all of it done and better.
I really enjoy Ubuntu, just installed it the recently and I am dual booting with windows 11. While windows has many important apps for my university studies, I find Ubuntu to be better (or at least more compatible) with c++ work my uni gives me. And Ubuntu is just faster and has better battery life so for browsing on the internet it's just what I need.
Thanks for an excellent introduction to the Ubuntu. While I have not seen every introduction Ubuntu on the RU-vid and the Web, your video ranks at the very top. As usual, the video is well-organized, the topics are structured logically and the visuals are excellent. Keep up the excellent work!
Another great video! Warning: don't try this on a computer that runs Windows alongside Linux (dual boot), because it will break your grub. My computer did not boot anymore without the USB stick present. Solution: your original Linux is in the grub menu of the USB stick. Boot into your original Linux using that, Keep your USB stick in its port, run 'sudo grub-install' followed by 'sudo update grub' in a terminal and everything should be fine again. You can now boot into your new Linux-on-a-stick using the grub menu, which brings you to a second grub menu where you can choose the Linux on the stick. Wich is very, very ugly, but it works. I just wanted to share how I rescued my system, maybe it can help you too.
Hello? Can you make a video on how to install Linux on windows without usb? I and many others are not able to find our usbs, and as you know, because of the pandemic, we are not being able to buy a new one.
here's an easier solution creating a 64mb EFI partition separate from the one windows uses, adding boot and esd flags to it and doing grub-install && update-grub on it, then removing the boot and esd flags from the windows EFI partition this'll tell your laptop to boot from grub and grub will have an entry to the windows EFI partition this prevents windows from deleting grub because windows is booted through its own bootloader and has all its boot files intact if your computer still boots directly to windows, from your bios boot options delete the "Windows Boot Manager" EFI entry
Cool, Yes, Ubuntu was founded by Mark Shuttleworth and co-founders when he was still SA based. Seems like a lot of great minds are born here, must be the great climate (grin)..But I think I will stay with LM Cinnamon..for now, as I've got too many distro's INSTALLED on usb flash drives lying around already..Stay safe 👍
The first time I tried a Linux distro was back in 2003. Many Linux distros was on a DVD that came with Linux magazines . That distro was Knoppix. To my surprise, it is still going today.
Sir I have ordered my first X86 PC which comes with Windows 10 ,I want a Linux distro to be installed should I go for Mint or Ubuntu,it just has 4GB of Ram and AMD A10 with 4 cores ,plz reply because I have no one ask this question to ...
I would personally install Linux Mint, which should work nicely on that spec (as would Ubuntu 20.04). Note that Linux Mint version 20 is out in June. :)
Thank you again sir. I would like to inform you and all your subscribers from the arab countries that all new linux distros have right to left text direction and arabic (and hebrew) support, working fine. I tried endless os and it works fine, and will try ubunto 20.04 this very night and feed back if it does support right to left and arabic language
good video. I've been a Mint user for years. I've tried many distributions, including Ubuntu several times but always find myself back on Mint but this latest version of Ubuntu is great. I've had it installed for a few days now & I think it's going to stay on my computer.
I'm just installing Kubuntu 20.04 now, as i've always preferred KDE over Gnome. I'm just trying to find a distro I feel comfortable with and have tried out both Mint and Zorin recently.
I'm a new comer from Windows. The only downside I feel using Ubuntu is the lack of free full PDF editor. Rest everything is manageable. Any suggestions to over come this??
Was forced to move to linux after microsoft stopped supporting windows 7. So far so good. Still have windows on one machine, but the other including media PC are linux. It's great, although there is a learning curve. I use mint, but I appreciate the content!
Excellent diction makes this an informative & easy listen. Perhaps could have mentioned "snaps" as a modern approach. As well as how 20.04 has made "Bluetooth" connectivity less of a headache than earlier versions. 👍
As always it’s got stupid small bugs at launch, and as always it’s best to wait a few months until it’s been through an extended testing phase that irons that crap out.
Mine didn't even recognize my TV. I I'd been using that TV as a monitor for years and now it doesn't work with Ubuntu. I had to install Kubuntu instead.
I've noticed since 18.04, in early release days there seems to be malicious items in the boot sequence. 18.04 gave a faulty disk warning. I stupidly re-downloaded it from Ubuntu website it passed SHA256 verification so I thought it was just a glitch and installed it on my laptop (I was so excited for the new version). My laptop got infected with an incredibly powerful RAT Malware. To this day I'm not sure if it's fully off that laptop.
I use Ubuntu at work (it's what I was given) but at home my machines run Debian. I also run XFCE as my desktop. I like to support Debian because they do all the groundwork from which distros like Ubuntu, Mint, Raspian, Armbian etc. benefit.
6:51 For this purpose, I did this most of the time using Virtualbox. With careful adjustments, you can install an operating system on an external drive, however that way it's bootloader will only recognize that particular system - meaning you either have to enter setup when you power up the machine, or configure the BIOS in a way that it checks for bootable usb media first, then internal harddrive/ssd as second. However if I remember correctly after an update GRUB did eventually recognized Windows, so I did have an option to choose from even if I powered up my laptop with an external drive plugged in. I did this several times in fear of accidently deleting Windows on my laptop, now I'm careful and patient enough not to cause serious damage to my system. Since then I even upgarded my laptop with a harddrive caddy, so actually there is 2 harddrives in my laptop - one has Windows 10 on it, the other Linux Mint.
@@alvallac2171 - You are worse than me! LOL. But you failed to also point out that SSD and USB should be capitalized. That being said, Kaalsemulzii did *much* better than most. So many I see without punctuation (especial periods) and are just one huge run-on sentence or a bunch of space commas. LOL.
I have Ubuntu Studio on a computer but don’t know my way around very well. I listen to podcasts about Linux and believe running OSs in a container is less resource intensive and easier to set up and lacks any downside compared with a VM. Therefore I would like to see a video about container orchestration. I think having Windows in a container on a Linux OS might be a good way to do this as the base OS would be open source. Some people might be able to do the reverse using WSL, I am not sure
Don Costello very funny! There are a lot of people working at MS now who were not there when the CEO declared Linux to be a cancer. MS has been open sourcing many projects including exFAT and PowerShell. What I am waiting for are the OSs including Windows 7. I am concerned that 7might make 10 insecure but I could be completely wrong
Another fine videoooo. I first used LInux with Ubuntu Hardy Heron but ended up drifting away after Ubuntu got bloated with uneeded software. I do try and test every LTS release though so I will be giving this a spin. I have installed the server version in a VM in Virtualbox but ran into errors. I do agree with NOT doing dual boot with Windows as MS patches have tended to break things lately and Windows has always broken the GRUB installer. I also do like the dark theme because of eye strain of the lighter themes. Fine job sir. Fan for life! Only about 10000 minutes to the next EC video. Sighhhhhh....
*+MarshMan* There is an option to do a minimal install, which really is the absolute bare minimum needed to get a functioning system, then you can add whatever you want to that. Another possibility is to try Lubuntu, which is fairly bare-bones, and has a traditional, old-school look and feel.
Why doesn't the Ubuntu Software Installer show the system requirements, etc. of the programs right at the top? 16:31 Knowing how big of a download and how much HD space a program will use are kind of important to know before installing.
I never thought of running Linux like that. I set me up a Linux box in the late 90s and played around on it. Reformatted it and put windows on it and gave the computer away. I forgot all the stuff I learned at that time. I just built a new box and have an external USB 3.1 hard drive dock on it. I think I make a few Linux HDs and run them that way. Chris I remember the old days before plug and play. You had to adjust each piece of hardware IRQs and DMA channels to get them to work together. Most folks these day do not even know what I just said. LOL!!
Thank you for this video. It hadn't occured to me that I could run Ubuntu from an external SSD. Up to this point I'd been messing around with dual booting and partitioning the hard drive. This method is so much simpler. Genius!
So happy you finally did this video. I started in Puting about 81 with the release of the TRS-80 from Radio Shack. I then went to a TI Colour com and in 83 an Apple Clone, which I sold to school boards and learned to service. Sorry, forgot,, 81 I took a tech course at RCC. I then went on to IBM based systems and in 93 was the head tech at a service company. I ran many operating systems like CP/n Unix, Basic, OS2, DOS, early windows and then Windows right up to 7. Windows 7 was a great system, based on XP and not the scarry Vista. Then they brought out 8 and eventually 10, and stupidly they based these on Vista. I had had it. I tried Ubuntu. At first, I did dual boot and found I was still working in Windows quite a bit. Then I set up Ubuntu full time and used a virtual drive and wine to run windows programs. Again at first I was switching a lot. However, over the years, I have been working with the programs which come with Ubuntu. (Correction to what you said about Libraoffice, it is far superior to Word for the average user as it is not as complicated up front . Sure all the options are the same, but you have to menu settings that you would never use normally like kerning. Instead, windows clutters the screen with oversized crappy toolbar icons, kerning included.) Today. I run Ubuntu exclusive and dread it if I have to run a badly written, sloppy coded, Windows app. The truth I did not accept in 91 but stand by now 100%, is that Windows is the crappiest Operating System ever written. Thanks for finally coming over... oh yea... you need to forget the external drive and choose that first install option... Erase windows and install Ubuntu...lol One more reason to move over, is Microsoft has fired their Windows Programming Team. This means there will be no more Windows versions. Microsoft has decided to adopt Android instead. Ironically, Android is based on Linux. Apples new OS is also a Unix based system. For those that don't know. Unix and Linux are mutually exclusive.
Chris, I am bout to do a new build and was excited to see Ubuntu 20.04. But I will follow you and keep to Linux Mint. Much for the same reasons you gave.
Thanks mate. Much appreciated! I've just added an case to protect the SSD for long term use as an external drive. And also I am very, very pleased that I switched to Linux for my work.
I recently changed my 'garage' computer from Ubuntu 18 to Linux Mint with Mate desktop. There is an useful app preinstalled in that system to change the USB drive that was flashed into a bootable USB, and change it back into a data USB in seconds.
Great video, Chris. I'm a Mint user too, but this version of Ubuntu is very nice. You did a good job of presenting the OS. Thanks for all your hard work!
as you are a mint user recently I switched from windows to linux mint but after installation my cpu fan is running even in idle mode can you help?... I'm downloaded mint 20.03 cinnamon and kernel 5.13.0-27
Those who need a new or used printer that will run under Linux i highly recommend buying Printers supporting PostScript (any version) Printer-Languages and Networkinterfaces. Those are the more professional line of printers and will almost always work just fine with any Linux Distro. I switched to Linux 100% several years ago and never regret it. I banned all Microsoft Softwares from my house. Every computers just runs Ubuntu LTS. Even on old and outdated referbished Computers and notebooks. Just make sure your old computer has a 64bit CPU, >=8 GB RAM and a SSD.
Minor detail, but you didn't actually do a full install to the USB, the boot partition is still on the laptops drive because during install ubuntu picks the first EFI partition it finds on the system. So with windows preinstalled, it used the windows EFI partition, so windows will mess with it during updates. You can see it's on the laptop drive during the BIOS section where you switch the boot order. That USB SSD won't work on a different system like you mentioned.
Yes, agreed -- the boot partition is on the WIndows drive (which is sensible as you do not want NVRAM UEFI entries pointing to an external device). For all intents and purposes, Linux is on the external SSD, including GRUB, so that it does not interferre with the WIndows boot. :) Note that nowhere in this video do I say that the USB SSD will work on another system. It can as you say be plugged in as required on the PC I installed on only.
Windows doesn't play nice with other OS's because Microsoft don't want it to. Linux has good manners and doesn't overwrite the Windows boot sector, but Microsoft don't seem capable of writing an OS that can find and respect Linux or indeed ANY other OS. Are they incompetent or just vindictive ?
OK don't use the same HD between Windows and Linux. Although I did find a recent Linux Mint install replaced the boot loader with a GUI version on my multi partitioned Linux machine (IIRC ~7 different distros). But if Linux is installed on a separate HD are there still any problems? Should a separate partition be put on the Windows HD (as opposed to the Linux HD) for shared data files? What format? Ext3?
I had dual boot ubuntu and win10 for like 1 week, they just tend to break each other for some reason and you end up so your PC cant boot to either of them, huge pain I would not do dual boot again.
All my PCs are dual/triple boot and very occasionally , I have had a boot problem. I keep a stick with Boot Manager on and it boots and sorts out a corrupt grub.
Just hearing the intro tune is satisfying enough to make me click like. I'm glad Ubuntu is there because it has been a great force for good user experience on Linux and it would be the thing I'd go back to if I ever felt that there was something too wrong with Obarun (Arch-based linux with s6 init system instead of sytstemd).
Amazing spot! That is so strange. The tab with the low res icon was a new (temporary) page that only existed on the launch day, so maybe it pointed to the wrong (or an older) file.
Is there an easy way to add a customized app launcher (shortcut icon) to the dock? I was able to make one on the desktop, but when I run it and add it to favorites, my custom parameters don't carry over to the launcher in the dock.
@ExplainingComputers MISTER Barnatt, you have earned my highest thanks for this video!!! I abandoned Ubuntu at around version 8.04 as I had issues with it not liking Windows and generally wreaking havoc with my tiny little head. Now here you come and show me a nifty trick to wipe the *SSD* and put windows on it for a dual boot system and I am literally jumping for joy!!!! Windows has vastly improved since the days of XP, but I still liked the clean interface and awesome speed of Linux.... so thank you for bringing me back to Linux!
Thanks for this. Note that while you can install a Linux distro on an external SSD, this is not normally the case with Windows. Microsoft does not allow Windows to run from an external drive unless you use something called "Windows to Go" and certified USB devices. Another option is to run Windows inside Linux in a virtual machine -- I show that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OWmD8obq4eQ.html
@@moungoretzki6649 that sounds like a good reason! In my case, I am married with Gnome, as it is great since I got used to it. What is best about GNU linux is that one can choose from several and very diferent flavors.
this also reminds me of Ubuntu 9.04 from 2009 I like and Love Ubuntu as well I mean I also like explaining computers I like hearing him talk as well 🙂 your voice is a narrator like voice
Earlier versions of Ubuntu and Windows would get into an argument over the system time and the computer's clock on my dual-boot systems. This results in the system time being mis-set by the UTC location offset after switching op-systems. Has this been fixed in 20.04 or recent versions? Or am I missing something obvious? (I see that you may be in UTC 0 offset territory so you may have to fake your locale to test this.) Thanks for the video.
I have finally given up on Microsoft, Windows 10, and Office 365. I’m tired of having to reinstall software or deal with other problems caused by Microsoft’s ill conceived upgrades. I’ve been an MS User since DOS but I give up. Video’s like this are helping straighten the Learning Curve.
Would it be slower when using a SATA to USB 3.1 adaptor (plugged into a 3.1 gen 2 USB port) to connect my SSD, rather than using a SATA III port on my motherboard? I'm guessing since the bandwidth of USB 3.1 is 10Gb/s and SATA III is 6Gb/s, that it shouldn't make a difference, but I'm not sure.
