Linux Apps I Use Daily - Chris Titus Tech
video description
I want to switch between different OS to experience more, i do this with smartphone devices and its easy bcz u have backup in PC and can easily switch phones.
I want to ask, since windows have the option to make different partitions of hard drive, ur data is safe in other partition while u r installing different OS in another primary parition. can there be such a scenario in Linux too ? i mean can I make partitions in Ubuntu or Fedora ?
Specifically, How you (Chris) manage ur data when u switch to another distro ? (I find it the only good way of installing Ubuntu to select the option -wipe drive and install fresh ubuntu-, how to use -Something else- option given in setup of Ubuntu to make manual partitions for boot etc ? there are too many file system formats i m confused about.

Nope. Arch and Manjaro (and dozens, if not hundreds?) of distros do not install on my (carefully) purchased hardware. This is over a span of many, many years, always the same story. Throw on Xubuntu, boom, done and done. On to setting everything else up without having to worry whether I'm using a 1000 year old driver without this and that (which took two hours to find and initialize). There have been (glorious!) independent distros along the way, whose websites have long gone offline and names forgotten that didn't have -any- of the problems Arch has, dead projects... Yet Arch lives on. A bit retarded, if you ask me. ;)

mate the worst ,.... it reminds me of a working gnome 2.4 :) so i wouldnt call it the worst , as far as reccomendations for beginners i usually suggest cinnamon / (sometimes kde) for people used to windows and gnome (with the closet layout match that you can choose from with a clean install) for people comming from OsX. And I myself run 2 different distro's as my daily drivers the one suggested -NOOB- distro : Manjaro (for gaming and installing/compiling packages for gentoo -chroot- while gaming) and Gentoo (for the rest). as for desktop manager i use myself , lxqt kde ,.... after kahakai died i never found one i really loved

I use openSUSE Leap as my distro with gnome as my DE, chrome as my browser, though i will probably switch to firefox eventually, i use gnome's terminal with zsh as the shell, i use nano for CLI text editing, gnome's text editor when something graphical is better, and intellij idea for code, i use discord for messaging, steam for gaming mostly, i use gnome's file manager, i don't do video editing, i also use gimp for image editing and flameshot for screenshots

I just spent hours trying to get my 2 trading programs to work on pop_os. Neither one worked. the one I have no idea what's wrong, and the other one I'm pretty sure I know what I screwed up but I don't know how to fix it.
... All this time and effort just to recreate a workflow that's almost perfect on my Mac. Why am I doing this to myself? I feel like Linux is like the ham radio of computers.

1. I get you, the mindset of thinking all communication is open is good
2. Cell phones are no where near secure, people can tap into that centuries ago
3. Why not try out Keybase? It is convenient and extremely secure as of 2020. I am not going to recommended it tho because its server code is not open source and thus can be closed down.

I think maybe you-ve lost sight of how difficult some versions of -Linux- can be in the beginning. I found Mint Cinnamon to be the most acceptable (coming from a Windows platform) and that some distributions of GNU/Linux completely ludicrous for use by a newbie. I guess we-ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Thanks for the video
