It is interresting listening to your videos. I am a newby with Linux what attracks me about Linux is:: it is free and not intrusive in personal life like windows has become.Use to be days you perchased a wondows OS ans you could have several machines at home you could install it on Now it seems to be more one OS per computer? and a assel with updates and all the rest of spying on the casual users. Now they added cloud tech. I degress here :) but i have installed two linux one on a 120GB ssd sata with Ubuntu and now i tried Linux mint on a 240GB ssd sata drive. Both are interresting but MInt i like maybe because as syou said of the windows look. I remember when the first computer i bought was a Timex Sinclair 1Ko that was back in 1982-83. Dos like programing . gee things have changed so much since 1980. morgaes went up to 22 % that year. my morgage was 14.5 % .Today no one could afford such a morgage. Anyway Like your videos helps me learn. Take care Chris Titus. thumbs up for introduucing Linux to us beginners.

-christitustech, I'm late to the party. I'm stuck between level 1-2 and want to be solidly in level 2... I have older hardware... and have been stuck trying to get my Zoran capture card working (IOmega Buzz) in Lubuntu. But am missing basic skills I have in Windows. How do I check if drivers are loaded? VLC doesn't seem to see it as a capture device. Wish there were a better way to learn. randomly hitting forums with varying levels of competency among posters is really inefficient way to learn. Any Suggestions?

Using some Linux Mint or Manjaro feels much easier than Windows actually, and I've been using Linux for less than 4 years now. Even when you don't know how to use the terminal, copy/pasting a command from the net is much, much easier than finding that particular control panel hidden deep down in one of the 3 different settings menus in Windows. Same if you only use your laptop for web browsing. -sudo apt install firefox- and done. I can't get how people still say Windows or even Mac is user friendly.

I'm pretty dang new to Linux, and I guess I'm hanging somewhere between 1 and 2 at the moment. I've got a test laptop that I'm trying some different distros on before I take the plunge and install Linux on my main machine, but I'm doing quite a bit of tweaking and playing around on the test laptop before switching distros. I might bump myself to level 2 once I settle on a distro for a while and get into the weeds more with it.

dang!!! this video was uploaded a year ago and it show on my feed... i've broken through the second step and found KDE on a minimal Manjaro installation. Windows and the updates just doesn't work for me anymore... I'm a big fan and loved what happened to the Archtitus and maybe the reason I love my Manjaro currently.... Thank you Chris, I'll be looking forward for more Linux contents -

Hi Chris,
I've already practiced a bit and distro-hop with Linux and installed it on VirtualBox on my old laptop,
but I want to put Linux on a different ssd than Windows 10 on my new computer!
how can I install a boot loader that can make this choice between these two ssd's?
or can I only change the boot disk in the bios?

Linux is great untill you want to do anything other than the absolute basics of computing. It has come a long way, but is still far too complicated for the average user. Way too many tech centric coders that don't know anything about ease if use. Linux is now and will likely be for tech people only for quite some time.

Chris, the main point why people don't move to Linux are not Desktop issues or lack of functionality, but the lack of a really good Rapid design (RAD) development system, which allows to create and distribute quickly apps from crap to top notch software.
It's the developers who promote a system to their customers.
