Joe you do such a great job. I never new anything about: arp, tune2fs, e4defrag, none of that. I thank the maker for you just having time to come here and explain this. I thank you. For all that you do.
Thank you so much for these videos Joe. i am a beginner with Linux, i know a little but i allways found myself a little scared of the Command line, but you make it seem interesting and fun.
So glad to learn something like tune2fs exists, I was stuck with ~3go free space on my laptop harddrive for some weeks, now I just got 20go for free. Thanks a lot! :)
Hi Joe, that was a really interesting video. I am using Linux since many years. I see there are still things to learn. Thank you for the video. I liked it much. You don't need to do shorter videos because you have to explain what you are doing, and that need some time. Thx
To do periodic TRIM in Arch Linux, you can use the fstrim.service and fstrim.timer systemd unit files. Enabling the fstrim.timer will run fstrim weekly.
Hey Joe, I'm new to SSDs I'm testing out Linux Mint 18, and Linux Lite on a Computer I just built. It has 16 gigs of Ram so swapping shouldn't be a big issue. My SSD is a Kingston SSD now 300 V 240 Gig. What do I need to change about how Linux uses drives so that I can get the maximum life and data storage out if it?
Nothing. Linux Mint will take care of the SSD automatically. You need to set aside a little swap space, though. The system might need it if a program calls for it or it gets really busy. :)
Joe, I did the lsblk and found my swap partition is 4 gb but is listed as cryprtswap. I guess that means it is encrypted. I've heard you say a few times that encryption can present problems. Do you think I should go to the trouble of trying to un-encrypt it or remove it and create a new swap partition?
I would like to extend this question. Is it possible to convert any type to any type? I always formatted the drive without questioning this possibility.
II don't make short videos. I take time to explain what I'm talking about. If you want quick (read incomplete) info then you need to look elsewhere. :)
I'm British, but not really. Technically I'm "a citizen of the United Kingdom AND Northern Ireland". "British" only refers to coming from the British Isles (England, Scotland, Wales) and not Northern Ireland. And when Scotland leaves technically there will be no "Britain". But nobody cares. Everybody understands "British" now. So the word is understood. Like Linux.
Thanks Joe. Relative newcomer to linux. (2-3 yrs.) I've picked up a lot of info from your videos.
Joe you do such a great job. I never new anything about: arp, tune2fs, e4defrag, none of that. I thank the maker for you just having time to come here and explain this. I thank you. For all that you do.
Great video again. Always something new to learn. And your videos are not too long. Keep these videos coming, great work!

LOL I'm glad it helped. I almost left that out. :)
I bookmarked Freedompenguin. You have a lot of good information in some of your videos like this. Thanks!
I love so much this video, I paused it and executed every command. So good to learn this way.
Thanks for that Joe. Very useful. Re SSD's, any problem in using trim on /boot? Probably it's most common usage?

Your video comes right in time. I needed help with partitioning my new Linux gaming desktop.
Thank you and keep up the informative videos :)
Thanks for the informative video, Joe. I enjoy your work!
Perfect video and very nice tips. You overcome yourself with this one. Good job.
Thank you Joe. I really enjoy your content. I have learned a lot.
I really enjoyed this, very informative and interesting. Would love to see more :D

What about Linux Lite? It created 15 gigs of swap.
Manually create the partitions and give it 2 GB's for swap.
Joe, I did the lsblk and found my swap partition is 4 gb but is listed as cryprtswap. I guess that means it is encrypted. I've heard you say a few times that encryption can present problems. Do you think I should go to the trouble of trying to un-encrypt it or remove it and create a new swap partition?
Just leave it be. Swap is something that is recreated at install so if it's working it doesn't matter and it's a just a tad bit more secure. :)
@@EzeeLinux thanks Joe
How do you keep the numbers, or letters from crossing over each other in terminal.
I was reading about the tmp directories on wikipedia. Made me wonder if perhaps that should be put on a spinning drive?
That was a good session, Thank you
Joe I think you for the details, for people that want to drink will go where the water is.
Thanks for all the nice comments. I'm glad the videos helped. :)
On the distros I am using I never need root rights to execute blkid. And it seems to give me the same output compared to what root gets.
Awesome video! Awesome awesome awesome man!
thanks thats a great video ... is there is any way to convert NTFS to EXT4 without formating the drive ???
No.
Ok thanks ..
I would like to extend this question. Is it possible to convert any type to any type? I always formatted the drive without questioning this possibility.
Once formatted, you will have to reformat to change the file systems type. EXT4 can be downgrade to Ext3 or Ext2 but it's tricky. :)
enjoyed... thanks.
Joe I love your content but could you work on making shorter videos? I don't have a ton of time to watch the video through and through

It is not Linux it is GNU/Linux
Don;t start that crap. It's Linux.
Joe Collins No it is GNU
What are y'all talking about. It's clearly GNU/Linux/Qt/GTK/ncurses/wget/Firefox/Cinnamon/nano ;)
