I'd used Arch for about four years, fell off the wagon and went back to Windows for a few years, and then came back home to Arch after seeing one of your videos a few months back - it reminded me how much I loved Arch and I really missed it. I guess that makes you my sponsor or something? "Hi, I'm Jeremy, I'm a former Windows user but I've been "clean" for three months."
I've been clean for 2 weeks, got tired of the random updates when I was taking a timed test for school, Manjaro power wipe.
Hi, Jeremy! :-)
I have been clean for 5 years
I’m Jeremy and I’ve been window$ free for 14 years
I'm new to Linux and got a ubuntu LTS based distro. I plan on moving to another distro for sure, but havent got to the partition thing to not lose data
I find it hilarious how you customize your MATE to look like Cinnamon.
I just use cinnamon, make it look good. And is very stable out of the box on Arch.

need to pin this

Man are u a angel or what 🔥
"the distribution doesn't matter" While this is very true one thing that is a complete game changer for me is the AUR. I can't imagine living without it now.
So true the AUR makes life sooo much easier.
AUR is so important!!
It makes installing things so much easier, 99.9% of the time.
That moment when you install fresh and forget to turn on AUR and you're like but why can't I find any of my software?!
What is AUR?
@@thecaretaker0007 AUR Stands for Arch User Repository. Essentially it's a very well maintained repository or software, because they allow any one to post software install scripts and dependencies. Makes getting most software a breeze. For example, I recently wanted a what's app of some kind. I saw many listings of ways to do it from the official to most custom ones. Click install, bam builds and installs. It's how canonical apt get wishes it was
@@DXTR420 thanks.
I've been using Ubuntu for nearly 20 years. Love it!
I've been using it for 8 years. At first I was missing Windows but now I would never go back.
Chris, consider adding links to stuff you talk about in the video under its description.
This would remove the need to watch the video, and reduce watch-time significantly. This sounds like it has a negative connotation to it, but Chris also has to earn something of his videos, and i respect it.
@@teel3651 I think it's common courtesy to leave links to stuff one talks about but, that's just me. If I wrote a blog post about a bunch of apps I use and didn't link to said apps in the hopes that people would stay longer on my site and maybe I'd get more ad views or something, I'm fairly certain people would stop reading my articles and never come back. It's not a perfect analogy being that this is video we're talking about and not blog posts but, I hope you get my point. Now, I do realize there may be some truth to what you're saying, and of course Chris needs to make money to continue to provide content (and why I don't blame him for plastering his description with affiliate links) but, there is also this thing called loyalty and one way to build a loyal base is to go above and beyond for your viewers and this by providing them with the best content and making their lives easier as the same time. Since watching this video I've instead Googled these apps and have since found other people who have offered articles and videos about them so, instead of coming directly back to Chris after checking out a link Chris provided me, I'm off watching and reading these other people's stuff instead. Had Chris linked to the apps, I'd have checked them out, one by one and come back to Chris for each app until the video was over. That back and forth, Chris' video, app, Chris' video, app, Chris' video, app would actually have a powerful affect on me and I'd probably be more likely to remember about Chris going forward. Of course, it's his show and he can do what he wants but, now he has competition he didn't have before and this due to not linking to the apps he's talking about in his video.
@@teel3651 if he didn't talk so much and repeat himself, his long videos would be half the size, so we'd be more likely to watch the entire thing
@@teel3651 this just makes people close the video
I tried to find the game platform he mentioned as well as steam. I can't find it. I don't know how it is spelt. My ears are not good enough to tell from his speech. So I vote for links in the description.
Raspberry Pi 4 with Debian Buster is my daily driver now. This credit card sized computer is amazing when it is set up right.
I made my first attempt at editing a video a couple days ago. Never used a video editor before so I had no clue what I was doing. I fired up Kden and within seconds I'd crashed it.
Great first experience. 😅
Use Filmora x 😁
But MATE looking like something straight out of the 90s is part of the appeal.
I always thought it looked the cleanest. Now, the *buntu theme for it is not good; clearlooks looks classic.
I'm soon making the change to Linux, after all these years. Your channel and these videos really helped me. I want the customization and the free stuff that are just for linux. Thanks!
I really like manjaro, arch and mint those are just my favorite. Thank you for this video chris
Over the years, I have tried several different windows managers but always come back to Gnome. For some reason, I just love it.
I used shutter for my screenshots, I'm used to that for quite a while during my time working in Linux. It has all the feature you need including editing the screenshot in one app (maybe simple, but useful for quick edits)
Like your nonsensical approach in the video. Your audio is great where you are understood and no other audio distractions. Thanks and I'm a new subscriber 😉
7:56 I've learned something.
"I use MATE" ... You're welcome Chris ;)
As long as he doesn't say "by the way, I use MATE". :p
lmao i was the other person telling him to use MATE, glad he did try it out haha
@Jessica Sinclair xD
i mint i love it
DigitalSparky love Mate
You helped me learn how to install arch linux on a vm. Then I used that knowledge to install in on my desktop. Now it's my daily driver at home, and I love it. I use enlightenment for my desktop environment, and terminator as my shell. You've been a big help.
Linux should be a tool to get things done rather than us spending time on it.
it can be fun to rice the system though
Well that's one of many ways to use Linux.
@@agenttank Yeah, that's the biggest productivity issue with Linux, it's so much fun to tinker with.
Agreed, there is so many options but I am much more productive now once I figured out what works for me
@ i am done setting up my system with sway/i3 and now i can work very effiecient. it was fun too and i rarely really have to tinker now
I'm really loving Ubuntu budgie right now, had it only a few weeks now and it's awesome on an older HP laptop i use for work...
I’ve used Gnome , KDE , Xfe and LXDE but always go back to Mate and looks as though it’s really been improved recently in stability and it works very well with apps native to other desktop environments which I feel other desktop environments don’t do as well.
The other desktop environments are not bad but Mate is really great for someone who likes to mix and match.
Another excellent video Chris,personally I use MX Linux and Manjaro I my pc's
I think Endeavour OS is a really good alternative to Manjaro. It s much more close to stock Arch . For productivity, I recommend i3wm environment (+ rofi, i3-expo, clearine ) , Suckess terminal, lf/ranger file manager, mail client neomutt, cmus for music. For content creation etc Gimp, Krita, Blender, Maya, Kdenlive/Natron. I ' m still looking at Clearlinux developpement, but it is not ready to production. Good video as usual!
EndeavourOS is a much cleaner alternative to Manjaro with a lot more flexibility and without the bad decision making. You'll also be able to use the AUR without issue.
just use base arch
I use arch btw KDE plasma
Great channel, your videos are very useful!
First THUMBS up 👍 then watching twice , Thank you for your amazing video , keep up man
'Bouns'. I like it. Great video Chris. Maybe we'll see a Chrisix distro in the future? :)
Thanks, Chris. Very helpful video. Do you have recommendations for audio?
Audacious as player and PulseEffects as equalizer.
Pretty informative video, im a super noob with Linux and had just experimentally put it on an oldish laptop i had given to me that was super slow with windows 10, originally thought it was the hard drive but after installing Ubuntu (I know you and some others dislike it, but I'm new and it was an easy start), the laptop became very snappy and I've been able to actually use the computer for stuff. Once I become more confident with how linux runs as a whole I might try something like arch but for now ubuntu works for what I needed and I've been learning alot with it.
Hi Chris, excellent video;s keep up the good work, I use ShotCut for editing and also OpenShot. ShotCut is updated regularly and has 4K support and hardware support
Hi Chris excellent videos as always, have you tried Shotcut or OpenShot I use those for editing and they are stable and available on each OS platform. Also they update quite alot throughout the year
This is the video I been looking for! I didn't know it existed. I was hoping something like this would be front and center on your website.
3:48 looking through the description for the referenced link 🙄
my mum is 75 years old, switched her to linux mint MATE on her old i3 laptop. No problems ever since. lol. she loves it!
Love it
"Linux apps".
Thumbnail is of an ipad, iPhone, and mac. Mac looks like it's running OSX. I lol'ed
You introduce me to "ncdu" instead of "du" and I still use that when I'm on remote ssh session. Recently I found this GUI app that does the same thing called "filelight" that is very intuitive and easy to use as well. With Plasma 5.18, "filelight" will be integrated as a tab on a folder property window.
6:25 Chris, you ought to try the Fish shell + byobu combo, it's quite amazing and yo can do all the neat tricks you do on Terminator everywhere, be it a TTY, SSHing to another machine, etc. Also, "Oh my fish" with a powerline based theme like Agnoster.
7:20 gedit is more that meets the eye, check the preferences menu, you can have gedit with a "minimap" scrollbar, grid and numbered lines for easier code browsing
First thing I did after I installed Flameshot way back when, was add a KDE shortcut for print screen. It's so integrated for me that I don't even think of it as a separate app anymore.
Best file manager ever: Double Commander!!!
I'll have to try this out, thanks Igor!
Good joice. Because I use KDE I went for Krusader. Same thing but well integrated into KDE
Krusader is pretty nice too
my favorite as well, although I sometimes have to restart it because its not responding on mouse commands
Looks like Windows/Total Commander I've been missing all these years using Linux, will try this out
I’m using elementaryos, I love their politic and their design way..
me too. all HAIL the Elementary OS!
Quick question are there any good tts voices available for Linux? And by good imean simething like acapela. There is cereproc of course, but their voices are rather error prone when it comes to pronunciation.
I miss my Linux Mint with Cinnamon. Been on the road and stuck with MacBook and PCs. Arrggghhh.
I just downloaded manjaro kde iso.
After watching your channel, I am leaving Ubuntu.
Great!
I advice to update system using sudo pacman -Syu and not using a GUI.
@Jenna Talia For most of the people, Ubuntu is the only linux distro they know.
For others
" what's linux?"
Me: An OS
Them: what's an OS?
Me: 😕
@@igorthelight Definitely not GUI for updates... I personally use TTY for updates these days, just found it safer overall.
Please explain why command line over GUI?
@@shamrock- This is just my personal experience but Manjaro only does bulk updates every 10 to 14 days on average, but it is still Arch and a LOT changes. I have found that GUI only updates can potentially break the system because so much has been changed. These days I don't even use terminal, which is still attached to the desktop, I prefer to go to TTY (usually Ctl-Alt-F2) and then just use the same commands as per terminal. If you're not using TTY (and maybe sometimes even if you are lol), it is probably better to check in with the Manjaro website before you update in case there are specific things/approaches they want you to take with that update. Still, I'm sure everyone has their own individual approach. My approach has seen me safe on Manjaro for over 12 months now. I'm not a total beginner, but I'm definitely not a computer and/or Linux advanced user either. Good luck :)
How productive is nautilus in linux mint mate? Just curious as to your thoughts.
re: text editors
vim is a great text editor especially when it comes to text manipulation
@ItsAllUnity I have found the learning curve isn't as steep if you keep 2 rules in mind:
"You can do everything in normal mode, except insert text"
"Everything" includes moving around, selecting text, moving text, deleting text, replacing textwhich sends you into insert mode), copy text, pasting text, saving, opening file and more xD
Which is why rule #2 is always return to normal mode whenever you finish inserting text, for accessibility you can map tab to escape or use alt combinations(in the terminal)
Don't enter a new line with enter escape and press o :p
You should try Emacs with Evil mode ;-)
@@abel6580 but but so many modifier keys
vim is the Roach Motel of text editors. They check in but they can't check out.
I have used vim for years! It is still my favourite go to for editing text. I use notepadqq for when I need something visually easier to follow.
For terminal, I am pretty agnostic about it since I use tmux. For text editor, hands down vim. Even I use vim plugin on vscode.
Have you tried Olive video editor and what did you think of that if you have?
What do you use for recording your screen/desktop for making tutorials?
I second Vivaldi. I use it on Windows, Mac, and Linux. I also second Manjaro as a great arch district to learn on... I have it running on a super old 1.2 GHz dual core PC. I should probably put a different district on it but I have yet to find a lite district that is stable on it...
Could you make a video installing arch linux from basic to setting all these applications for beginners
Hello, I found your channel through I.T. Career questions and watched your video on SysAdmining just now.
I am currently majoring in I.T. with a couple of years of I.T. experience with the U.S. Army; My goal is to become a SysAdmin, and am wondering whether I should get the Comptia Server+ or Linux+ certification. Which one and why?
Thanks for your time!
Linux + Cert over the Comptia would be my recommendation. Also, I'd recommend at least one Windows Server cert as well. Linux servers are in every single data center out there and required for most positions. Windows Server is in almost every single business out there and you will need to know Active Directory as well. So there isn't just one certification for sys admin imo. I currently hold about 8 certs with my last one in 2016 for Citrix Administration. That will be the last certification I get unless required by a future employer.
@@ChrisTitusTech dont forget the MCSE and a Cisco to go with that Linux cert!
Very helpful. Thank you very much.
I have a question:
Best Linux distribution for built-in multi seat support?
Heck Chris, my first distro was Ubuntu 7.04 and then I switched to Debian because someone recommended it to me and I managed to install it and get all my stuff installed, etc and it has been my go-to distro for a long time for running my server, but as I started to advance over the years I did my first Arch install a year ago and I love as a daily driver!
0:05 - One of dudes at school saw my i3 setup and asked what Linux is this. Being an Arch user, I immediately thought of "I use Arch btw", but then realised it would give them wrong expectation what Arch is. So I just said I use i3wm with Alacritty as Terminal Emulator, polybar and rofi.
When people think of OS, then think of what they see.
flameshot is everything I've been looking for in a ss tool: system tray icon :D love it, thanks!
Love the cinnamon de, my favorite de, but xfce is my 2nd
Chris in Linux Mint is there a way to organize your Icons and Folders the way you want to or are we stuck with the way Linux wants to orange them.
I really like Manjaro KDE. For some reason, it also seems to run better on my computer than Kubuntu or Neon.
From what I've seen and heard, I like Ubuntu's implementation of Gnome more than plain Gnome.
Thanks for sharing Chris! Took LinuxMint 19.3 beta MATE out for a skeptical spin... and it is now my home base! Wow! Super duper fast and light! Vivaldi is my fav too! :)
Just tried out Flameshot. It's f**king amazing. Thank you so much.
Hi Chris, thank you for all the great videos! Do you have a recommendation for a Linux alternative for the Mac app Hazel. I can’t find something similar for Linux. This is the only reason why I don’t switch to Linux.
I need a solution which also check the content of a document like date or a specific word.
Thank you so much!
If you need it just for searching files, then I can recommend KFind.
How about an application to map your network and have live updates to each item's status.
For photo editing I really like Darktable. That said, sometimes I use Windows for some stuff, and Darktable seems to process images differently depending on which platform you're running.
I think Krita is pretty awesome and I also love working with Atom as my PHP IDE at work, I refuse to touch VSCode out of stubborness but from what I've seen of it I'm pretty happy sticking with Atom.
I started to drink a lot too when I started working from home :o
As for the image editing (the PS vs GIMP thing) have you tried Krita? I've been in the same conundrum but since I discovered it , and it's really good, I stopped feeling that cold turkey state of mind when working in or about PS (I've been a professional graphic designer and illustrator for more than 20 years, just for context)
BTW this is on MATE.
i would use xfce instead of mate.
xfce gives me more "power" to mold it in the way i want it to behave.
Now i just usew kde with kvantum for some custom apereance and some light eye candy
Thumbs up for Arch Linux!! And must say as I'm obligated to do so, I use arch btw!
Chris: "Ubuntu sucks"
Also Chris: "Don't distro hop"
Mixed messages!
Make your Ubuntu the way you want.
switching once is fine
Can you please show us how you combine Awesome WM with mate
I did it before with i3 but it was clunky and Not optimize
@Chris Titus Tech, which WM are you currently using?
Awesome
@@ChrisTitusTech I've been thinking about switching to a WM instead of a whole DE and have been considering qtile, dwm and awesome. I've found a KWin extension that enables tiling in KDE and have been using it for the past couple of months to get used to the idea of tiling WM (and l've been loving it so far).
Desktop:
Distro: MX Linux
WM: Xfce4
Editor: Pluma (Fork of gedit gnome 2)
File Manager: Caja (Fork of nautilus gnome 2)
Music: Clementine (Internet streams)
Laptop:
Distro: AntiX
WM: Fluxbox
Same as above
I loved OpenSUSE because of zypper's syntax and behavior, but Debian had much more programs packaged for it, so I made a wrapper for package managers
thanks for sharing the Vivaldi browser mate would never have heard of it till you mentioned it. cool browser.
What are your hotkeys for the desktop?
Have you tried Olive for video editing?
It is under heavy development but it is lightning fast.
good for easy edits, guess it will have more features when it goes beta.
I use ubuntu with scinnemon desktop. I needed to fix some issues for my aps so my linux doesnt freeze but after a few days of playing around i like it.
Have you looked into myPaint, my artist friend loves it.
Where are the links to your dotfiles, @Chris?
Fav text editor, gedit kate... Speechless
Probably worth looking at contributing to projects you love like Lutris if you can.
Flameshot is pretty awesome imo.
One other thing I'd point out is as far as I understand AMD GPU video encoding is behind Nvidia by a bit at least on Linux. Only reason I have not decided which route to go on my new build.
Chris, How do you get such awesome audio given the generally crappy sound thru Linux?
Would you consider making a video on how you install arch with mate and awesome wm ? Would be great :)
LXQT on my system uses about 40mb, I hear though if you want the best performance you want a Wayland based desktop environment (seems to be just KDE or gnome so far).
Hey i am new to linux and if any one can help i have heard installing application from app store may not have up to date application but if i install it from ppa i can use updated version. Is this true if it is what are ppa and how can i use it
What about email clients? Which one(s) do you use?
My setup (in the same order): openSUSE 15, xfce, firefox, xfce termina, vi/notepadqq, zoom(for work), Steam/GOG, thunar, openshot/blender,gimp
Is MATE just as configurable as KDE? (This was the reason why I chose KDE over Gnome)
2:19
the mic bar feels cold
10:08 What's that super key?
I was hoping that you'd go into that LCARS animation.
"Super Key" or "Meta-Key" Some other names. On most keyboards, it's the "Windows Key" between Ctrl and Alt. Just a different name.
i think 2 distros that standout are peppermint because its light and has implemented web apps, the other one is mx linux and puppy linux because of frugal install that runs on ram. The otherones are more as of starting point as you said
Yeah I have heard great things about peppermint.
It’s like you mind melded with me. Great review.
what do you use for a spellchecker
I use Debian for my main but have a partition for trying out different ones, got openSUSE running right now, its easy and on the redhat side of things, something cool for people to check out.
i like terminal extension for nautilus, it opens terminal in a same spot as you browse files so you can swich between clicking and writing on the fly
Are you talking about this github.com/flozz/nautilus-terminal or about different extension?
I like a mix of KDE/XFCE, leaning towards XFCE with some KDE applications(Kate, KDEnlive, etc), mainly use Manjaro because I'm too lazy to setup Arch but have done in the past. for File managers I like Dolphin although some of their choices in recent times have annoyed me so yeah... Gimp is awesome. OpenShot is also cool for basic video editing.
Can anyone help me to install a distro on a USB? I tried persistent storage and didn't work
I used Terminator for years when I was in i3, but in Gnome I now realise it does not wish to resize and only supports pixel , not char geometry. Termite does, but I need to get clipboard integration working.
If I can sort out foreground colour - I want amber - I will be using Terminology.
Hi Chris Titus Tech (are you really good on scripting if so what you use for starting out or were you doing programming before hand)?
I used to be good, but I don't do it on the daily anymore. I was big into programming back in the late 90s but went a different way with my career.
If your looking for a specific program to start developing I would suggest Notepad++ or the modified version of VSCode.
@@Zandman26 Thanks Guys!
If all you're doing is scripting which isn't really programming then all you need is already built into your system i.e whatever your terminal and shipped text editor is. But if you're going to learn a programming language like Python, Perl, Ruby etc for scripting - its better to actually learn the core concepts of programming rather than box yourself in with bad practices that scripting allows - which are only really useful for basic system automation(IT). Meaning if you ever want to get into higher roles outside of baseline IT(DevOps, Tech Leads, Engineering Management etc) - you'll need more than just scripting knowledge.
I'd also say its worth taking the time to familiarize yourself with the front end web stack too which shouldn't take long at all. Its one of those where: Everyone has a website and regardless of whether or not its a WYSIWYG site or a custom built one you should be capable of at least reading/knowing what's going on.
Regardless, literally all you want is a terminal window, editor, keyboard, and your web browser for searching. VSCode is a lot of people's editor of choice due to it being really lightweight, filled with plugins which makes it versatile, it can act as a compiler, it can run your terminal inside of it, plugins can allow it to act as a live server to display web code onto your browser dynamically, it can have plugins to make its keyboard shortcuts act like Vim/Emacs - and so much more. Some other popular ones are Notepad++ but that locks you into Windows, XCode is necessary for iOS/MacOS signing, Android Studio is excellent for a live Android emulator, Sublime is cool and light but after a while the subscription lockout gets annoying, Atom is nice but can be extremely slow on less powerful computers... Vim and Emacs are something you probably want to learn to at least navigate in comfortably, but don't turn into a masochist when its supposed to be fun. There's literally an endless rabbit hole of software to start coding. Like said just grab VSCode and install the plugins you want.
Lastly, Stackoverflow, Codereview, Quora, Reddit, WS3, Mozilla, Git/Github - all your friends and websites you need to live on.
@@fj11ism Thanks great info - the scripting to me is my weak area and never got a grasp of it - great insight and I agree no habits are way better than bad ones.
If debian had a official rolling release I feel like debian could be the main distro for development company's don't want to make apps for linux because they say its fragmented but if we had a LTS one that is every 6 Months like Ubuntu and a rolling with the support arch has debian could take up 80% to 90% of distros
debian is by far the best distro in terms of stability and security, but software availability isn't that great since using PPA will just break it, but that is getting better with snappy, flatpak and appimages.
