So as someone who just installed ubuntu last week. This is super helpful. As your teaching commands, I'm following most of em and also have libreoffice writer open making myself a key so I can refer back. Hopefully it helps me retain this information much quicker. I am having an issue with tab not auto completing. If anybody knows how I can fix this that would be awesome.

Wow this is an awesome video. I'm not a linux beginner by any means, but I'm no advanced user either. Maybe intermediate. Anyhow, this was great. Just started the video a few mins back and I've already learned some basic things I should have already known, but somehow missed. Thanks.

I thoughts it was weird when i first heard Indian accent in a video teaching me computer science, turns out its even weirder hearing a Southern accent in a video teaching me computer science. Jokes aside, its a great video with clear explanation. Good job

echo -e -1\n2\n3\n- works like printf with the -\n-.
The comment about ' vs - , it really doesn't matter: String interpolation is a HUGELY important topic to understand for the command line. That could be a whole separate video. I'd name it: - vs ' vs -

At around 40:00 when creating the -aptup- alias, the system recommended i don't do it there directly, but at a seperate bash aliases file. Can you do a tutorial on how to do that?

At time offset 14:57, you should also emphasize rm -rf test / is a really bad typo; space between test and /. If you ran that as root, you just destroyed your computer!

Love your videos man, you got me wanting to try Arch out. I'm running windows 11, and Ubuntu on a cheap laptop, and your videos have been priceless.

I don't think it's a coincidence that you're using Mint for a beginners tutorial.
There are sooo many Windows refugees that went to Mint.
