My Pop!_OS 24 Install Went... Differently 🥲
I finally got my hands on the highly anticipated Pop!_OS 24 alpha release, and let’s just say... things didn’t go exactly as planned. In this video, I take you through my experience installing Pop!_OS 24 and why this video almost didn’t happen. From VirtualBox installations to wiping my main PC (and saying goodbye to Windows forever), I share the challenges I faced and the decisions I made along the way.

CP Command In Linux + SHOW Transfer Progress 🚀
Просмотров 4,2 тыс.Год назад
In this video we're gonna talk about "cp", which is short for copy and is another essential command that we use to... well, copy stuff from one place to another - one or more files or entire directory structures all at once. Oh, and since I've never met a single person who "straight up" knows how to display progress for a large file operation - I'm gonna show you a few different ways to do it a...
What The GLOB?! Filename Expansion in Linux 📦
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.Год назад
The word "glob" is short for *global* and it actually comes from an old program with the same name, that was used in the earliest versions of Unix. These days, globs and wildcards are used interchangeably and "shell globbing" or filename expansion is a very powerful feature that allows us to match and expand filenames based on patterns. And as if this was not enough, we're gonna supercharge all...

Your Editor CAN'T Take It - Get a grip on GREP ✊

Grep has got to be one of the most important NIX utilities that can help you filter huge amounts of data fast and reliably.

Links in Linux Are MORE CLEVER Than You Thought 🤔
Просмотров 12 тыс.Год назад
There are two types of links in Linux: soft and hard. Soft links are the popular ones - also known as symbolic links, or symlinks for short. Hard links may be a bit hard to grasp at first, but you've seen them around and this video is gonna clear it all up. To create either type of link, we use the "ln" command which stands for link. We're about to look at some use cases that truly leverage the...
CD in Linux - Didn't Think It Could Do THIS 😲
Просмотров 50 тыс.Год назад
Some commands are so… familiar, you don’t even notice when you use them anymore. “cd” is one of them. It stands for “change directory” and yes, it’s about as basic as it gets - and you may think you know Kung Fu, but I bet I can still show you a couple of tricks that you can’t find in the manual. Also, there is no manual. CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro 0:33 - How come there's no manual? 0:50 - No argume...
This Is How To Use LS in Linux & WHEN NOT TO 🤏
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
ls is short for “list” and it is one of the most commonly used commands in Linux. You use it to list directory contents. Without any arguments it will display the insides of your current directory. If you give it a path, or even multiple paths, it will list the contents of those. The command has a bunch of options that you can use to customize the output.

    Pop!_OS is the best out-of-the-box experience for me. Included NVIDIA drivers, just enough dependencies to run all my AppImages with zero tweaking... just works.

    I had Arch for a while on my laptop because of the better support on new hardware (g14 rog 2023 / rtx4090) but now that kernel support is good, I moved back to Pop!_OS 24. Only major tweak on laptops is that I make the top bar auto hide, because it takes a lot of space. I also set the title bars on Firefox and VSCode to native so that the big bar disappears. I am curious how to reduce the size of title bars in general, because they are huge.

    Pop! became utter garbage. I tried it again last week and you now have to install every single app for every single user. No more multi-user Linux. Went back to Fedora because I don’t want to install everything using the CDL.

    I'm surprised that as someone who goes by NIX tricks you haven't tried NixOS. Judging by the issues you've described in this video (better dotfiles management, separation of packages across different user accounts) you would probably enjoy it

    I ran EndeavourOS for a few months dual booting with windows and it gave me so many issues. Once I got rid of windows and even formatted my external HDD to ext4 I haven't had a single problem on POPos 22.04 LTS. So good for Linux Gaming. If you're a gamer its 100% worth a shot.

    Long time Mac user who returned back to Linux. I should say Ubuntu 24.04 with Ubuntu pro is rock solid. The additional security layer and livepatch services is really hard to look past for a professional work environment. Plus a solid 3-2-1 backup strategy is the way to go (I did use arch, but the AUR and the entire ecosystem just creates a what if scenarios within me. I prefer official and authorised publishers with LTS)

    welcome back man, Yeah I've also had been dual-booting my box & decided to just move full-time to linux 5 years ago & haven't changed since. Started with ubuntu & about a year ago just moved to pop_os until now. I agree with some of your points in the video when you do the distro-hopping stuff, and have another thing to add: I think if people want more other people to move to Linux, they should just start recommending "normie" distro like ubuntu or pop_os, since first impression really matters a lot, and those 2 distros have by far the easiest installation steps & things "just works". If I had listened to "elitist" people regarding distro choice I probably would just stick to Windows since I have other things to do in my life. To me OS should not get in the way of the things that I actually want to do

    Your setup looks great, but I'm having trouble getting other applications to pick up the Dracula theme. When I apply Dracula in Gnome Tweaks, basic applications like the file manager work fine, but others I installed manually, like Timeshift and Cheese, don't work with this theme. They use a light theme, which breaks the consistent look and feel of the setup. I also tried different dark themes, but the problem remains. Only when I use the built-in Pop Dark theme then other applications adopt the dark look and feel. Does anyone else have the same problem and/or know any solutions?

    This looks great, however the menu bar (File/Edit/Window/Help/etc..) in multiple applications (Signal, Hexchat, etc..) appears white and completely ruins the theme. Is there any fix for this?
