I'm not trying to discourage you from using Debian, I legitimately think it's the best distribution out there, but you chose a distro that absolutely does not hold your hand and for a beginner it might feel overwhelming, it doesn't seem to be the case with you tho so good luck with your journey and know that if you ever feel overwhelmed you can always look at distros more aimed at beginners like Mint or Ubuntu!
Wow, congratulation for a week. 😃 For Laptop user, I will recommend distro made by laptop manufacturer like Pop Os by system76 and Tuxedo Os by Tuxedo computer. Both Os comes pre-configured by default, all the driver are preinstalled like Nvidia and battery saving tools also included. Tuxedo Os is more like Windows 10 experience and a lot of customization option and pop OS is Unique. And for older hardware, use Linux mint (less than 4 GB RAM OR). I am using Pop Os on my laptop for about 2 year, and it is working fine, for my Cyberpunk runs really, fantastic on Linux no crash, but on Windows it was crashing like a hell both in first version and after phantom liberty update. I thought it was game problem but NO it was windows problem.
Congrats bro, keep it up. By the way dont fear the terminal, trust me once you get used to it you will come to appreciate how fast it is in executing simple tasks, and you dont need to learn every command, just a few are enough. Linux is beautiful keep exploring.
stacer is a good GUI task manager replacement you can also use, plus it looks better. Also nvidia on wayland is not quite there yet, a new driver is coming that will support nvidia/wayland better, give it a few weeks. Since Debian is a slow to update distro using Arch or Fedora would be better to get up-to-date software/drivers
My first use of Linux was dual-booting 32bit Ubuntu on my Windows XP desktop(until one of it's hard drive changes perhaps make it unusable) I returned to Linux by installing various Linux distros as virtualbox VMs as well having Steam Deck for migrate myself into Linux Not to mention I installed portable Linux on spare flash drives to hack computers that can't get booted
Hi, I walked almost the same path as you did. GPT-4 helped me a lot when I tried to set up a Linux environment 3 months ago. The most painful thing in Linux is either finding a solution or asking people. Since there're so many different variants of distros, the answers are mostly very divergence or sometimes outdated, and the community is often very toxic about every question. "Why don't you read the documents? Why don't you learn from the 100 steps before the function you need and learn why you do this for these exact steps? Why don't you know this (without already knowing this)?" These are common in Linux community. Having a supportive answer is hard, but most of the time we just want to do some very basic configuration with very simple instruction. I can tell GPT-4 about "Here's my environment, I want to do this, what's viable option and how to do that?" or "Here's the error message about doing this, why is that? how can I solve it? how can I prevent it next time?" and 99% of the time I got the answer. AI is very helpful on lowering the entry barrier of Linux. And after hopping around most famous distros, I settled back to Debian, too.
@@te-wei If asking a rethorical question classifies as toxicity in your parasocial life you don't need to install Linux but to get off the internet and touch some grass.
You are true about AI being useful in this regard. I was trying to setup a Mint VM on Windows 11 using QEMU. I went through tens of tutorial videos and multiple pages of tech forums and wikis but my vm wasn't running. I asked GPT-4 to help me and voila, within a minute I booted into mint live installer.
Mint is so much easier. Installing bottles for instance, it is just a button click in Mint. I don't run windows stuff and if I did it would be with a VM. The Flatpak stuff is there and just works. Better, you can use the distro version if you want and I typically do. Stability is worth it. Sometimes I need a more current feature from a program and I will go to the Flatpak. Nice to be able to do what I want in the GUI. Terminal can be really great as well. In just a few short lines of text you can have a fully functioning QEMU / KVM. Wayland is not ready for official but I believe you can run a Mint session in Wayland and see if it works for you.
nice video, welcome to using linux although I myself use Fedora at the moment cause I want to use latest software but in terms of stability I would say debian is a great choice
Linux mint is dated and ugly Ubuntu. It's great for broke people that can't let go of their 15 year old laptop because that shit just won't work on new computerss
@@famousmwofficial8046 I switched to mint like 3 days ago as my first ever Linux experience and everything works fine* (after some heavy tweaking, bitlocker was a bitch) But for a windows user of 14* years, it still feels like home Edit: I'm using an MSI GF63 thin , 11th Gen Intel core i5, gtx 1650 4gb, 16gb ddr4, 2x 512gb SSDs (one of which had triggered bitlocker when I booted into the new OS of which I had no idea even existed on the drive)
the problem with nvidia and wayland is mostly solved onto the Nvidia driver 550 and current gnome, it was a issue from nvidia that didn't give enough attention to linux users, but i think it changed with the advent of Steam Deck and Valve really asking for nvidia for wayland support which gave us the current driver. There is another driver on the way but i dont think it will work with your GTX 1050 Ti which is on the works based on the current open source kernel modules released by nvidia last year, its called NVK and it will be something unique for linux users, but is totally alpha yet, its going to take years for to be stable for nvidia users to really use without problems.
just saw your headache for installing nvidia drivers on debian, yeah its true, on ubuntu you have a driver manager which gives you one click driver install, but on debian you have to do it manually, you have to know the package names for installing by terminal, how to add nvidia repositories, dont know how you did it, if you used the drivers from the debian repository or the official nvidia ones, debian 12 supplies you with nvidia 525 drivers while nvidia official drivers supplies you with current 550 drivers.
@@kilObit If Debian doesn't come with Gnome Software installed, you can use Synaptic (I'm not sure if that comes with it by default - I know it used to be on older versions of Ubuntu before being replaced with more modern solutions). Either way, you search for Flatpak, click install (a double click in synaptic iirc, plus the extra step of hitting "apply") and voila - you've got flatpak installed. As for flathub itself, I can't recall if there's a method off hand (I typically do it by the CLI), but IIRC you can do this in Gnome-Software.
debian testing or debian Sid is also an option to have more recent kernel and apps, in place of acrhlinux, you have just to change de sources files and update
It's not true that you have to use the terminal to install graphics drivers. Not with most modern distros. In fact, you _can_ use Linux as a regular user, without going to the terminal these days.
Thank for warning us about not properly working Remote Desktop on KDE Plasma 6; but I read that Aug/Sept 2023 KDE said early 2024 RDP should be released. Ohya, I went with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS since it has the Linux Kernel 6.8 and easy to install. My cpu/gpu is sort of recent 7800x3d/7800xt and need at least Linux Kernel 6.3 and up. I think Debian bookworm is kernel version 6.1. Everything is working somewhat fine, just one little glitch bothers me. I have 2 monitors 4k@60hz and 1440k@165Hz. I did a online gpu stress test and noticed in a browser game I play the fps was 60fps not 165fps when I ran the google chrome browser, yet on firefox it works. I am using Gnome 46/wayland and this fps glitch occurs when I have my 4k@60Hz monitor plugged in. Unplug the 4k@60 Monitor and then I tried Google chrome now it works 165 fps. I don't know exactly what is going on, but maybe the way chrome inits the graphics compared to firefox is getting confused. If someone knows how to fix this please reply, thank you.
Installing google chrome on linux should be a warcrime xD At least use brave instead of literal spyware, if you like chromium backend. But for linux in general I can just highly recommend firefox. I suspect this to just be a problem with the browser, in normal desktop use or most games it probably will work fine.
@@MarlonKranz Ya, I am just using firefox for now. True, Chrome sure can spy just like Windows, eh? I saw on another channel this guy talks about cheat engine, was just packets when you just select the Start menu under Windows, wow, they sure spy. Anyways I just wondered why the hell am I getting 165 fps with firefox but these others browsers are at 60fps? I know maybe its the spy crap slowing them down, heh.
Debian too me is a learning Linux if you want to learn but can be a little less user friendly. Use Linux distros that are out of the box software pre configured and installed so that way your up and running. You AI thing is good but there are a lot more Linux content creators that you can learn from. Remember AI did not create itself so humans are a great way to learn from each other and community linux people.
One thing about KDE though is this and if RHEL is doing that then yes will affect all the others. "KDE Plasma Workspaces (KDE), which has been provided as an alternative to the default GNOME desktop environment has been deprecated. A future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux will no longer support using KDE instead of the default GNOME desktop environment." I prefer Xfce myself. Just bear in mind though some DEs do require great hardware like drdicayed v8deo cards to run it. I prefer Xfce for one reason I want my resources for me, not eye candy. Learn more here cause there are many DEs available but keep window managers too, got to choose the right one for it to work.
New Nvidia driver is coming out within the next few weeks with vital wayland fixes, and then the next driver after that is meant to be fully wayland compatible. So you wont have to wait long.
I started on Ubuntu then mint then fedora, open suse, and bunch of Ubuntu based distros then settled back on Ubuntu because all the rest just suck from there I went to Chrome os which is the best desktop Linux os available
Fedora - "works out of the box", quick to adopt new technologies, big releases twice a year OpenSUSE - "works out of the box", has a bunch of versions which get updates with varying frequency (from all the time to every few years) [1/3]
Arch - "do it yourself" (as in you pick and install every system component manually), rolling release Alpine - "do it yourself" but more minimal, doesn't use systemd, has both a rolling (edge) branch as well as point releases [2/3]
Nix, Guix - declarative, as in you write a file describing how you want your system to work and then it just happens Gentoo - "do it yourself" but taken to the extreme (you compile everything on your own machine and so can tweak any setting you want) [3/3]
Wow, ai never crossed my mind. Great idea. Gotta think of it next time I'm stuck. You can leave the Debian machine off for 6 months, come back, do the updates and it'll still work. Try doing that on an Arch machine, where every update is a risk. There's no way you can simply update once a month, way too much will change in that period. That's something new users rarely think about until it bites them, and can be a problem if you use multiple computers. Heck, go on a vacation and leave your computer at home and it might just break when you return unless you research every bloody update. I personally don't really need to have latest and greatest everything, but I do need my computers to work all the time. If you are big on Linux gaming though, you will have better experience on Arch. Debian's stale repositories can be a major hindrance there. Fedora is a middle ground, way more stable than Arch while still being quite recent.
Thats what I heard about arch a few years ago, but not how it is right now as far as I can see and hear from others. My arch system is very stable and I never look into any update. And for the very, very rare case that it actually breaks something, I can simply reset my system to the last working version within one minute and then do selective installs or wait until the erroring application gets a hotfix.
I run Arch and regularly not upgrade it for weeks or even months sometimes. You just gotta read what pacman says while running and sometimes take care of config files yourself. Last time a manual intervention was needed was when they were merging `community` and `extra` repos if I remember correctly. Otherwise it's just an occasional AUR package that needs to be built with a --nocheck or something. (Overall it all depends on how much stuff you have installed, which packages specifically and how much | how well you tweaked the defaults.)
@@mskiptr hm, I had issues even with Fedora after a longer period of inactivity and no updates. KDE got so borked, the entire machine ended up in dependency hell. Didn't really expect anything better from Arch.
@@youzernejm Heh, I might have actually hit the Fedora KDE problem you're referring to. Back in February I was updating a Fedora 36 machine. As soon as the system upgrade to 37 was completed and the machine rebooted the login screen was all garbled and you couldn't start Plasma. What it seems to have happened is some updates that landed in 37 (long after it was released) broke KDE or QT. Why has nobody noticed and fixed that? Because almost everyone was already using 38 or 39 at the time. After some back and forth on Fedora Discourse I was pretty sure that if I just do the system upgrade to 38, the problem will simply vanish on it's own. I had to do that from the TTY but sure enough it worked just fine and cleaned up that whole mess.
since it's a laptop it usese igpu for display by default (can be done on PC too) for the programs you have to tell them to use dGPU, right click and there's an option, also works on Windows
linux is only useful if you're programming or care about open source and privacy which everyone should. But dont use it just because it's cool. If you're fine on windows, no need.
I be hopping from one Linux go another and I am new ish yo it, out all the Linux I used I could Ubuntu worked for me, someone tried to get me into Arch but was way to complicated for me so I went back to the easy life of windows
@@thisistheway34Ubuntu is usually a smooth and easy Linux experience. If you want Linux but simpler install Chrome os flex or chrome os with brunch and then enable LDE so that the Linux binaries work by default. Chrome os is a child of gentoo made by Google so you know that it's super simple
learn little bit of aliases in bash, so that u can hotstring the commands, in my opensuse i made c as alias to clear the terminal, so you can do up alias fo sudo apt update & & upgrade sky is the limit enjoy 🎉😊
as a gnome user, I have some suggestions for you. these are some cool and awesome extensions: 1- gsconnect: you can use it to connect the pc with your phone with kde connect app. 2- forge: it turns your desktop to a window tiling system it's better than floating windows. 3- pano clipboard: it's awesome clipboard. 4- blur my shell: the same as the name. 5- vitals: your pc usage on the panel. temprature, cpu, ram, internet speed ...etc 6- just perfection: some cool tweaks for the desktop. you can discover the rest 😅
Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint was super easy. 2 clicks. For Wayland apps on x11 i use Weston. I let me run Waydroid, so it should work for other Wayland apps too.
I've known Linux since 2006, and use it interchangeably with Windows. Back in the day I spent 20% on Linux, 80% on Windows.. but today is the other way around as Linux has matured and becomes much better, even better than Windows in many aspects. However, I still can't ditch Windows completely because.. there are things that Linux can't replace.. yet. So, as of now, Dual Boot remains my best choice. 🙂
But you have to start from CERO=essentials-basics !!, what the hell are distros, and Terminal ok = CMD Consule, so people can LEARN and doesn't get LOST !!, I'm gonna go to the official website of Linux to see what OS is there to Download !!
Why do they have 24 different editions of LINUX, what the hell does that mean at least put a minimal difference between each one, common MAN !! that is why people don't want that Shiat !! hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Btw the Arch wiki is a top notch resource. It explains how a lot of stuff works under the hood and how to set it up exactly how you want it. Even though it is all about Arch Linux, plenty of articles translate to other distributions fairly well. Oh, and regarding that Wayland + Nvidia situation you've hit: Sadly the proprietary Nvidia drivers don't work that well with Wayland so maybe Debian disables that combination. The next version of the drivers (550) is supposedly gonna improve this quite a bit but I have no idea when that will come to Debian. Alternatively, we now have independent drivers for Nvidia cards which are 100% FOSS and are not beholden to Nvidia's whims. But unfortunately, your card seems to be from a generation that can't be supported well so I don't think they will help you in any meaningful way really.
debian is a very good choice. super stable and solid package manager in the last few years, the "DIY" distros (like arch/debian/void/etc) have been 100 times more approachable than they used to be, making a lot of "just works" distro kind of redundant at this point That thing about the video drivers, your mistake was trying to find programs on the internet (the windows way) instead of using the package manager (the linux way) ;P It's also definitely possible to use wayland with nvidia currently (I've had no issues on arch linux, but maybe its because i have access to a more up to date driver and desktop environment)
I would say with Steam configured to run with Proton you will get a much smoother ride than trying to use Lutris. But Lutris can help you get games outside your steam library to run, but it comes with the caveats that your trying to emulate windows on Linux. And Microsoft is not very keen on this, neither is the game developer. So you will actively work against them, and that causes friction.
Ok, as you've said days before on your just installed Linux OS, I was thinking about it and also thought it is a good idea to at least test some Linux OS, first of all, years before I did test a Linux OS, I don't remember what version but to be honest I thought it was not that good, I had to click a lot of times to open apps or settings, just to open something in Linux, now, I saw in some comments that there is a Linux version that is Similar to Windows OS, I want to test that one epaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Friends, great Tutorial, as always take care Saludozzzzzzzzzz & Graciazzzzzzzzzz from Mexico !!!!
If i'm going to use debian in a desktop, it would be debian testing repository would have more up to date kernels and packages. But if your primary goal is to run a server Debian stable is the way to go. I've used many linux distros like fedora, PopOs and now i'm on openSuse Slow-Roll its a rolling release and if there is a problem i can always rollback.
If you're new and want to learn the terminal, try the fish shell, just sudo apt install fish, and then type fish in the terminal, and you're in. It has syntax hilighting, powerful tab completion, and it remembers your history very well, and you don't have to read manpages for flags because you can just double tap tab and it shows you all flags with a brief description of what they do.
Me too. 7 years Linux user, but still a noob too🤗 That's Linux it's fault, but nvidia's. Nvidia and Linux especially with Wayland is a pain in the butt.
As for nvidia and wayland issues. That should be solved really soon with a driver update 555. It will fix the explicit sync issues. I think all distros will have em in the repos by june.
Actually Slackware is the OG mother of all the ones "still active" now (there were others before that - that are no longer active) - but besides that - yeah, Debian been around for the longest time.
The Terminal is great for hardware info, monitoring as well with top, htop and a lot of others. For hardware, 1st let explain man is short for manual so look at man dmidecode , and understand all of the options. You can run this without sudo, however, you might need the deeper information, then you'll need sudo. And yes CLI forces learning, so that will never end even with me and I've been a Linux user for 15 years now. Also after installing Firewall is not on by default. Yes, I do agree it should be but you will have to harden your Linux desktop. sudo ufw enable is how you turn that on, like I said tho remember man for manual. Many vectors for an attack and hacking. even within Linux.
my linux mint asks for password everytime i open browser. i understand its for security and it can be delayed but is there any script or app that balances security and comfort
I started using linux too, but on a laptop just to do power user stuff. I chose Linux Mint for a lightweight and familiar distro. I can't switch on my main PC tho, because I work in graphics
I have heard many users and experts of Linux say that the first thing you have to do is make sure that your LINUX BOX or hardware, is completely compatible with Linux. Is this your experience? Will a DESKTOP COMPUTER work just as well as your laptop?
Well that depends: If you have an Nvidia Card and want to use Wayland, for example for better High Resolution Monitor Support, it might get problematic. If you have brand new hardware you should pick a Distro thats either Rolling Release or received a big Update after your Hardware was released. Overall I can say about 90% of the time it will work perfectly out of the box, 9% require more or less configuring and only 1% will have major compability problems.
Its a very wrong statement that we can not use linux distro without terminal Kindly do a more research before saying any statement, I use linuxmint without even opening any terminal. For a basic user pretty much everything is in gui
there is a way to use waydroid on x11 i simply asked copilot and it gave me some commands to use waydroid on x11 since wayland sucks on my nvidia gpu it just gives me some wired screen tearing anyway please note that you can technically run waydraid on x11 but its not flawless and it might use more resources
I Also Tried Linux For Over A Month, And The User Community Wasn't Particularly Helpful. Despite Troubleshooting Most Of The Errors Myself Using Bing AI, But Still Linux Ultimately Wasn't A Good Fit For Me. The Software Selection? Forget About It.. You Gotta Spend Hours Wrestling With The Command Line. It's Like They Want You To Suffer. Plus, With All These Different Linux Distros, It's Like They're Trying To Win Some Kind Of "MOST CONFUSING OS" Award. Windows Might Not Be The Flashiest, But At Least It Always Works And You Don't Need A Degree In Coding To Install A Program. Honestly, I Don't See Linux Ever Catching Up. They're Too Busy Making New Distributions Nobody Needs Instead Of Focusing On What Users Actually Want. Windows Might Not Be Perfect, But At Least Its Reliable And Gets The Job Done Easily Without Any Kind Of Those Cryptic Demonic 'Sudo' Commands.

the problem with nvidia and wayland is mostly solved onto the Nvidia driver 550 and current gnome, it was a issue from nvidia that didn't give enough attention to linux users, but i think it changed with the advent of Steam Deck and Valve really asking for nvidia for wayland support which gave us the current driver. There is another driver on the way but i dont think it will work with your GTX 1050 Ti which is on the works based on the current open source kernel modules released by nvidia last year, its called NVK and it will be something unique for linux users, but is totally alpha yet, its going to take years for to be stable for nvidia users to really use without problems.
just saw your headache for installing nvidia drivers on debian, yeah its true, on ubuntu you have a driver manager which gives you one click driver install, but on debian you have to do it manually, you have to know the package names for installing by terminal, how to add nvidia repositories, dont know how you did it, if you used the drivers from the debian repository or the official nvidia ones, debian 12 supplies you with nvidia 525 drivers while nvidia official drivers supplies you with current 550 drivers.
I'm sorry you were given a terminal-based tutorial for installing Flatpak + apps. It can be done through the GUI.
how
@@kilObit If Debian doesn't come with Gnome Software installed, you can use Synaptic (I'm not sure if that comes with it by default - I know it used to be on older versions of Ubuntu before being replaced with more modern solutions).
Either way, you search for Flatpak, click install (a double click in synaptic iirc, plus the extra step of hitting "apply") and voila - you've got flatpak installed. As for flathub itself, I can't recall if there's a method off hand (I typically do it by the CLI), but IIRC you can do this in Gnome-Software.
debian testing or debian Sid is also an option to have more recent kernel and apps, in place of acrhlinux, you have just to change de sources files and update
How do i access laptop's web cam in waydroid apps
It's not true that you have to use the terminal to install graphics drivers. Not with most modern distros. In fact, you _can_ use Linux as a regular user, without going to the terminal these days.
Thank for warning us about not properly working Remote Desktop on KDE Plasma 6; but I read that Aug/Sept 2023 KDE said early 2024 RDP should be released. Ohya, I went with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS since it has the Linux Kernel 6.8 and easy to install. My cpu/gpu is sort of recent 7800x3d/7800xt and need at least Linux Kernel 6.3 and up. I think Debian bookworm is kernel version 6.1.
Everything is working somewhat fine, just one little glitch bothers me. I have 2 monitors 4k@60hz and 1440k@165Hz. I did a online gpu stress test and noticed in a browser game I play the fps was 60fps not 165fps when I ran the google chrome browser, yet on firefox it works.
I am using Gnome 46/wayland and this fps glitch occurs when I have my 4k@60Hz monitor plugged in.
Unplug the 4k@60 Monitor and then I tried Google chrome now it works 165 fps.
I don't know exactly what is going on, but maybe the way chrome inits the graphics compared to firefox is getting confused.
If someone knows how to fix this please reply, thank you.
sorry but idk how to fix it for now you can try asking ai, or try running chrome in 2nd gpu if you have
@@kilObit No problem, I will try that; and thanks for reminding us about Gemini, thought it was pay.
Installing google chrome on linux should be a warcrime xD At least use brave instead of literal spyware, if you like chromium backend.
But for linux in general I can just highly recommend firefox. I suspect this to just be a problem with the browser, in normal desktop use or most games it probably will work fine.
@@MarlonKranz Ya, I am just using firefox for now. True, Chrome sure can spy just like Windows, eh? I saw on another channel this guy talks about cheat engine, was just packets when you just select the Start menu under Windows, wow, they sure spy. Anyways I just wondered why the hell am I getting 165 fps with firefox but these others browsers are at 60fps? I know maybe its the spy crap slowing them down, heh.
Debian too me is a learning Linux if you want to learn but can be a little less user friendly. Use Linux distros that are out of the box software pre configured and installed so that way your up and running. You AI thing is good but there are a lot more Linux content creators that you can learn from. Remember AI did not create itself so humans are a great way to learn from each other and community linux people.
agree, but makes ez for most of us cuz belive it or not its more intelligent then us Obviously cuz they got all the info of that 1 person can't
One thing about KDE though is this and if RHEL is doing that then yes will affect all the others. "KDE Plasma Workspaces (KDE), which has been provided as an alternative to the default GNOME desktop environment has been deprecated. A future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux will no longer support using KDE instead of the default GNOME desktop environment." I prefer Xfce myself. Just bear in mind though some DEs do require great hardware like drdicayed v8deo cards to run it. I prefer Xfce for one reason I want my resources for me, not eye candy. Learn more here cause there are many DEs available but keep window managers too, got to choose the right one for it to work.
New Nvidia driver is coming out within the next few weeks with vital wayland fixes, and then the next driver after that is meant to be fully wayland compatible. So you wont have to wait long.
that's huge thanks a ton
I started on Ubuntu then mint then fedora, open suse, and bunch of Ubuntu based distros then settled back on Ubuntu because all the rest just suck from there I went to Chrome os which is the best desktop Linux os available
waydroid doesn't work with nvidia on wayland, and nvidia drivers are not that hard when you get used to it.
it works it is actually good but you need driver support above 500
And there is a script to switch waydroid to using a different GPU, like an Intel iGPU.
Plasma Remote krfb ist buildin. U can use any vnc.
Get chrome os and enable LDE. You'll have access to your flatpaks, snaps and debs and not need to be too technical with your system. Trust me
Dash is an Ubuntu term not a Linux term BTW. Unity DE to be exact. The best DE to ever be made. Rip to the unity project 😢
Also, not all distributions are derived from Debian. Here's an overview of ones (imo) worth a look:
Fedora - "works out of the box", quick to adopt new technologies, big releases twice a year
OpenSUSE - "works out of the box", has a bunch of versions which get updates with varying frequency (from all the time to every few years)
[1/3]
Arch - "do it yourself" (as in you pick and install every system component manually), rolling release
Alpine - "do it yourself" but more minimal, doesn't use systemd, has both a rolling (edge) branch as well as point releases
[2/3]
Nix, Guix - declarative, as in you write a file describing how you want your system to work and then it just happens
Gentoo - "do it yourself" but taken to the extreme (you compile everything on your own machine and so can tweak any setting you want)
[3/3]
Wow, ai never crossed my mind. Great idea. Gotta think of it next time I'm stuck.
You can leave the Debian machine off for 6 months, come back, do the updates and it'll still work. Try doing that on an Arch machine, where every update is a risk. There's no way you can simply update once a month, way too much will change in that period. That's something new users rarely think about until it bites them, and can be a problem if you use multiple computers. Heck, go on a vacation and leave your computer at home and it might just break when you return unless you research every bloody update. I personally don't really need to have latest and greatest everything, but I do need my computers to work all the time.
If you are big on Linux gaming though, you will have better experience on Arch. Debian's stale repositories can be a major hindrance there.
Fedora is a middle ground, way more stable than Arch while still being quite recent.
Thats what I heard about arch a few years ago, but not how it is right now as far as I can see and hear from others. My arch system is very stable and I never look into any update. And for the very, very rare case that it actually breaks something, I can simply reset my system to the last working version within one minute and then do selective installs or wait until the erroring application gets a hotfix.
@@MarlonKranz are you using that machine daily?
I run Arch and regularly not upgrade it for weeks or even months sometimes. You just gotta read what pacman says while running and sometimes take care of config files yourself.
Last time a manual intervention was needed was when they were merging `community` and `extra` repos if I remember correctly. Otherwise it's just an occasional AUR package that needs to be built with a --nocheck or something.
(Overall it all depends on how much stuff you have installed, which packages specifically and how much | how well you tweaked the defaults.)
@@mskiptr hm, I had issues even with Fedora after a longer period of inactivity and no updates. KDE got so borked, the entire machine ended up in dependency hell. Didn't really expect anything better from Arch.
@@youzernejm Heh, I might have actually hit the Fedora KDE problem you're referring to. Back in February I was updating a Fedora 36 machine. As soon as the system upgrade to 37 was completed and the machine rebooted the login screen was all garbled and you couldn't start Plasma.
What it seems to have happened is some updates that landed in 37 (long after it was released) broke KDE or QT. Why has nobody noticed and fixed that? Because almost everyone was already using 38 or 39 at the time.
After some back and forth on Fedora Discourse I was pretty sure that if I just do the system upgrade to 38, the problem will simply vanish on it's own. I had to do that from the TTY but sure enough it worked just fine and cleaned up that whole mess.
Bro how did you configure Debian so that the desktop environment uses iGPU and other hardware demanding tasks use the dGPU.
since it's a laptop it usese igpu for display by default (can be done on PC too) for the programs you have to tell them to use dGPU, right click and there's an option, also works on Windows
Btw i use linux mint 😎😂
wayland works with nvidia but you need driver above 500 series but it is not worth it xorg is still good
Unix is the grandfather
linux is only useful if you're programming or care about open source and privacy which everyone should. But dont use it just because it's cool. If you're fine on windows, no need.
I be hopping from one Linux go another and I am new ish yo it, out all the Linux I used I could Ubuntu worked for me, someone tried to get me into Arch but was way to complicated for me so I went back to the easy life of windows
@@thisistheway34Ubuntu is usually a smooth and easy Linux experience. If you want Linux but simpler install Chrome os flex or chrome os with brunch and then enable LDE so that the Linux binaries work by default. Chrome os is a child of gentoo made by Google so you know that it's super simple

I've tried other distros but I always come back to Mint on long term usage
as a gnome user, I have some suggestions for you.
these are some cool and awesome extensions:
1- gsconnect: you can use it to connect the pc with your phone with kde connect app.
2- forge: it turns your desktop to a window tiling system it's better than floating windows.
3- pano clipboard: it's awesome clipboard.
4- blur my shell: the same as the name.
5- vitals: your pc usage on the panel. temprature, cpu, ram, internet speed ...etc
6- just perfection: some cool tweaks for the desktop.
you can discover the rest 😅
Nvidia drivers on Linux Mint was super easy. 2 clicks.
For Wayland apps on x11 i use Weston. I let me run Waydroid, so it should work for other Wayland apps too.

I've known Linux since 2006, and use it interchangeably with Windows. Back in the day I spent 20% on Linux, 80% on Windows.. but today is the other way around as Linux has matured and becomes much better, even better than Windows in many aspects.
However, I still can't ditch Windows completely because.. there are things that Linux can't replace.. yet. So, as of now, Dual Boot remains my best choice. 🙂
But you have to start from CERO=essentials-basics !!, what the hell are distros, and Terminal ok = CMD Consule, so people can LEARN and doesn't get LOST !!, I'm gonna go to the official website of Linux to see what OS is there to Download !!
Why do they have 24 different editions of LINUX, what the hell does that mean at least put a minimal difference between each one, common MAN !! that is why people don't want that Shiat !! hahahahahahahahahahahaha
🤣
Ubuntu 24.04 has better nvdia support as canonical worked with nvdia on that release or so I've been told I haven't upgraded yet
Great for you

Btw the Arch wiki is a top notch resource. It explains how a lot of stuff works under the hood and how to set it up exactly how you want it. Even though it is all about Arch Linux, plenty of articles translate to other distributions fairly well.
Oh, and regarding that Wayland + Nvidia situation you've hit: Sadly the proprietary Nvidia drivers don't work that well with Wayland so maybe Debian disables that combination. The next version of the drivers (550) is supposedly gonna improve this quite a bit but I have no idea when that will come to Debian. Alternatively, we now have independent drivers for Nvidia cards which are 100% FOSS and are not beholden to Nvidia's whims. But unfortunately, your card seems to be from a generation that can't be supported well so I don't think they will help you in any meaningful way really.
debian is a very good choice. super stable and solid package manager
in the last few years, the "DIY" distros (like arch/debian/void/etc) have been 100 times more approachable than they used to be, making a lot of "just works" distro kind of redundant at this point
That thing about the video drivers, your mistake was trying to find programs on the internet (the windows way) instead of using the package manager (the linux way) ;P
It's also definitely possible to use wayland with nvidia currently (I've had no issues on arch linux, but maybe its because i have access to a more up to date driver and desktop environment)
I would say with Steam configured to run with Proton you will get a much smoother ride than trying to use Lutris.
But Lutris can help you get games outside your steam library to run, but it comes with the caveats that your trying to emulate windows on Linux. And Microsoft is not very keen on this, neither is the game developer.
So you will actively work against them, and that causes friction.
Ok, as you've said days before on your just installed Linux OS, I was thinking about it and also thought it is a good idea to at least test some Linux OS, first of all, years before I did test a Linux OS, I don't remember what version but to be honest I thought it was not that good, I had to click a lot of times to open apps or settings, just to open something in Linux, now, I saw in some comments that there is a Linux version that is Similar to Windows OS, I want to test that one epaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Friends, great Tutorial, as always take care Saludozzzzzzzzzz & Graciazzzzzzzzzz from Mexico !!!!
If i'm going to use debian in a desktop, it would be debian testing repository would have more up to date kernels and packages. But if your primary goal is to run a server Debian stable is the way to go. I've used many linux distros like fedora, PopOs and now i'm on openSuse Slow-Roll its a rolling release and if there is a problem i can always rollback.
If you're new and want to learn the terminal, try the fish shell, just sudo apt install fish, and then type fish in the terminal, and you're in. It has syntax hilighting, powerful tab completion, and it remembers your history very well, and you don't have to read manpages for flags because you can just double tap tab and it shows you all flags with a brief description of what they do.
Me too. 7 years Linux user, but still a noob too🤗 That's Linux it's fault, but nvidia's. Nvidia and Linux especially with Wayland is a pain in the butt.
As for nvidia and wayland issues. That should be solved really soon with a driver update 555. It will fix the explicit sync issues. I think all distros will have em in the repos by june.
how did you learn Linux or how did you learn to install Debian ? the official documentation ?
20:17 Arch is more up to date than debian. Maybe you don't know about debian Sid(rolling unstable) and debian testing(semi rolling)
Actually Slackware is the OG mother of all the ones "still active" now (there were others before that - that are no longer active) - but besides that - yeah, Debian been around for the longest time.

Dude Linux mint makes all this so easym. You wasted time
that was fun to watch, keep it up!
The Terminal is great for hardware info, monitoring as well with top, htop and a lot of others. For hardware, 1st let explain man is short for manual so look at man dmidecode , and understand all of the options. You can run this without sudo, however, you might need the deeper information, then you'll need sudo. And yes CLI forces learning, so that will never end even with me and I've been a Linux user for 15 years now. Also after installing Firewall is not on by default. Yes, I do agree it should be but you will have to harden your Linux desktop. sudo ufw enable is how you turn that on, like I said tho remember man for manual. Many vectors for an attack and hacking. even within Linux.
my linux mint asks for password everytime i open browser. i understand its for security and it can be delayed but is there any script or app that balances security and comfort
I started using linux too, but on a laptop just to do power user stuff. I chose Linux Mint for a lightweight and familiar distro. I can't switch on my main PC tho, because I work in graphics
Linux its still not there if you are also a gamer...
kinda had that feeling.... maybe did knew somewhat
For good linux experience It is very important to have AMD gpu
sadly i only have Nvidia or i can use only igpu if i dont game i think it should be fine
@@kilObit yeah well good luck with it

I have heard many users and experts of Linux say that the first thing you have to do is make sure that your LINUX BOX or hardware, is completely compatible with Linux. Is this your experience?
Will a DESKTOP COMPUTER work just as well as your laptop?
yes i think so not tested on desktop yet
Well that depends: If you have an Nvidia Card and want to use Wayland, for example for better High Resolution Monitor Support, it might get problematic.
If you have brand new hardware you should pick a Distro thats either Rolling Release or received a big Update after your Hardware was released.
Overall I can say about 90% of the time it will work perfectly out of the box, 9% require more or less configuring and only 1% will have major compability problems.

there is a way to use waydroid on x11 i simply asked copilot and it gave me some commands to use waydroid on x11 since wayland sucks on my nvidia gpu it just gives me some wired screen tearing anyway please note that you can technically run waydraid on x11 but its not flawless and it might use more resources
Waydroid unfornately not supported on nvidia gpus..
Yes it can be used on x11 via cage or similar(nested wayland session).
