    Happy to see you included openSUSE. It is very popular in Europe, but in the States isn't discussed much, which is a shame as it is both user friendly and an awesome enterprise solution.

      I would rather say in Central Europe like Germany. In Mediteranean like eg. Greece Debian , Ubuntu and Centos are the most preferred.

      @@TheodorosSkouras never said it was the most preferred, just said it was very popular when compared to the US.

      It's not user-friendly anymore. The AMD codecs issue will turn away beginner users (even if more advanced users will know how to fix it, it's not very user-friendly to do so, and it's even less obvious than Fedora) and there are better options for user-friendly distros, like Linux Mint, Feren OS, Pop!_OS and Zorin OS. Even Ubuntu is more user-friendly than openSUSE. openSUSE is more for intermediate to advanced users imo, ones who want to control their computer but don't want Gentoo or Arch.

      Nobody talks or or uses SUSE/openSUSE in NA because other better and similar distros (RHEL, CentOS, etc) do the job better and are more compatible with industries leading hardware and software. There has never been something new or better in SUSE/openSUSE than in RHEL/CentOS/OracleLinux/insert_RPM_based distro except that it originated from EU and is maintained there and has been viewed has a somewhat "anti-US" distro.

    Thanks for your videos, Jay. Regularly watch. Migrated to 100% Ubuntu about 5 years ago, and enjoy learning more. In this one, at about minute 13, you reference another of your videos. I had difficulty finding it. Did you mean a video in the crash course series, or in the Linux for noobs series? Thanks again.

    @LearnlinuxTV at the end you mentioned Pop OS and that's intriguing, I'm running Linux Mint, it's fine, not that too much techie myself, however, I'd like to explore other options, there are certain times when Mint simply freezes and the keyboard stops altogether, the mouse works but a pixel move every 5 minutes until something that is running in the background stops which I'm not finding out what it is. Add to that I have an Nvidia card with 4 G running On Demand, the card keeps heating up with simple tasks, Kdeinlive sometimes pauses for extended times... In short, is it possible to install and try Pop OS DE over the LM running without losing the existing LM and its settings, like an option I can choose on logging in like what is currently there Ubunut something, the last time I upgraded LM I lost much of the settings in the browsers including passwords, and other stuff? and what's the proper way to add a Pop OS DE to check if it's handling the graphic card better?

    I stopped using Ubuntu when they basically forced Snaps on me. Apart from the fact that there is a lot of malware in Snaps, I don't like that Canonical vets the developer but not the software. This is totally open to abuse. Canonical is getting more and more Apple-like in its operation. No thamk you sir.

  • @crazycatman4171

    You really should have mentioned Debian Backports as a means to get newer software (e.g. kernel 6.0 or LibreOffice 7.4) without having to use Debian testing or unstable…!
    And Debian is no "Gnome distribution" - you can choose between several desktop environments during installation like in openSUSE.
    And sorry I have to say this (because generally I enjoy and value your videos): although you point to your video about desktop environments, it is bad journalism to show 4 out of 5 distributions with the same desktop environment in a video about distributions.

    I’d say the chipsets are the brain 🧠
    & the Kernel provides the air traffic controller.
    .
    But idk what’s really inside the kernel code.
    .
    If the kernel is the brain, then all software acts as a beacon rather than a process. 🤔 Sth like that?

      The motherboard is the Brian. It can power on and process itself without a kernel.
      .
      That’s why I say kernel is not a brain.
      UEFI checklist can function without linux.
      .
      That’s how I think of these matters.

    I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
    Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
    There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
