These videos are so amazing. After I get my new laptop I want to install and set it up. Once I'm done and comfortable with everything and being able to do normal tasks (office work, file manage, browse the web, make changes in the OS comfortably, troubleshoot quickly, etc) I would like to make a webpage that uses your videos (with credit to you) to quickly index information to help transition because this is really powerful stuff. I could help so many people as the dangers of microsoft are REALLY mounting up. I was in best buy and someone was upset with the price of office and I showed them Libre and Open Office. Now I know you don't like them too much but for the average person who is not using the advanced features of office they were absolutely thrilled. However a microsoft rep was there and he absolutely tore my ass a new one in the store. So it's my mission from here on out to make sure that everyone knows they can get an office package that's almost as good and IS as good for standard users FOR FREE. I can't stand people who are like that so I really want to spread the word and hit their pocket book and these videos are just the thing. Plus so many people are in danger with how bad windows security is.

This is a very helpful series, as I am presently going to install some distribution of Linux onto my Dad's old Celeron laptop (Windows Vista is on it currently, and it runs about as fast as a dead cart horse).
I am currently using the Live USB feature to test out different distros. I tried out Kubuntu on my own machine just to get a feel for it (I haven't used Linux since my Raspberry Pi Model B, which was my first computer), and I kinda liked it, but I probably should have looked at more tutorial videos first.
I then tried Lubuntu on his machine; 0/10, cannot recommend. Looks like an 18 day-old cowpat, and has about the same level of features. The WiFi doesn't even scan for networks!
I will test out Linux Mint MATE tomorrow, but I might give Kubuntu a run on his machine too, since I have seen this sort of setup tutorial (even though nominally this is a tutorial only for installing apps).
Thank you Chris, and may God bless you!

Imho, one of the big issue people run into on linux when using package managers is that if you search for the name of an app, you often find yourself with a shitload of results all having the searched text in their names and none exactly corresponding to what you are looking for, plus the descriptions are often confusing and not helping at all or, even worse, you find yourself with multiple versions of the same exact thing. In these cases the luxury of choice is more often perceived as hell which is why i don't completely agree with you on the -store- point of view, if only there was one that really came with the guaranty that if you install an app from it, you are actually not running into any issues whatsoever. Until today, my preferred way unfortunately still is the command line but i really wish for some simplistic store like gui that is just working.

I would be eternally grateful if someone here could tell me, step-by-step, how to associate photo extensions (jpeg/gif/png, etc) with Irfanview on Mint!? Irfanview (under WINE) runs fine, I have it's icon/launcher on the desktop, but in no way can I make it the default. I have to: open IV>file>open, or, drag a photo from the desktop into the IV window. That means that any photo I want to work with has to be placed or copied to the desktop.
I simply cannot get it to show up in -default programs- & I've tried everything my tiny brain can to make this happen. I want to double-click ANY photo and have it open with Irfanview. Why is this such a terrifically difficult thing to do? :P

-sudo apt install steam-installer-
From where can a new Linux user (like me) find the name of the last argument (steam-installer)?
I understand the purpose of -sudo- and -apt- and -install- and even -steam-installer- (it is the name of the package). But how did you know that that is the name of the package?
Where do you look that up?
Thank you.

Enjoying your videos. I'm thinking about transferring over from Windows 7 to Linx.
I see you are typing in commands in order to run programs.
How do you know what commands you need to type in order to make a program run beforehand?
Seems about like CMD in Windows, where you have to write commands to run something.

You illustrated inside 3 minutes why Linux will never be for the masses. That's okay. Just so everyone knows, this is not for anyone who does not know what synaptex packages are. You are one of the 0.0001% who even knows what terminal is.

What happens when you run out of space on your root partition? In Windows you can add a new HDD, create a new -Program Files- folder on it and install your new applications. Is there an equivalent process in Linux?

I now have my daily driver configured and all my essential programs installed! I'm 64 years old! If I can do this simply following Chis, YOU CAN DO THIS! I have been set free from 30 years of Microsoft slavery!
