Sorry for YELL at the screen when there was a confusion on SUDO . When you are ROOT you are already the Super User (de SU part of sudo), you could thell for the # at the end of the command line.
Your work is awesome, man! I'm a gen X'er who was massively into tech/computers in the 1990s-early 2000's but did a Rip Van Winkle on tech for about 20 years and woke up recently to a rekindled passion to learn tech. This is JUST my style and groove. We really appreciate what you're doing!
Classic Eli, thank you for this free content! I don't know what it is about being younger that you want to reinvent the wheel: you got it exactly right, but then when you grow up a little, you use tools
Thank you. I'm very glad to hear my City Mogadishu from you. You know we have limited access to get like this world-class education you always give us with Zero dollars! Thank you Eli.
I watch you now more than ten years, (2012 saw your first video , when i slowly switched to linux ) - Your still a great teacher eli - Thanks for your effort and great work - ⭐✌
Your explanation of forks and distros is very simplified, I suppose it makes sense to a new user, but really forks and distros in this context are the same thing. Forking simply refers to creating your own custom release from the main release of a software. So all Linux distros are forks of Linux (though most of them are just smaller derivatives of the bigger forks as you say). Debian and Red Hat are not the only big forks even though they have a lot of derivatives; for example Arch is its own fork with its own package manager pacman (so not apt).
This is the typical video that almost every linux user should watch because almost everyone could find something he didn't know yet. BUT if you get slack you get it faster and on your own skin 😅
Really good presentation. Regarding balenaEtcher, it is Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, and Linux). Not used Rufus, it's more popular apparently. WiFi can be a big deal as you pointed out (HPs and Lenovo's have been good, MSI crashed and burned) - USB cable tether to an iPhone can sometimes rescue you + you get a secure wifi free machine going hardwire copper direct to 5G. Thanks again, appreciate the time you've taken to do this - CW (Not a hacker)
Great video. Just wanted to point out because this could lead to confusion for some. Gnome, KDE are window managers for X windows which handles the GUI. Shells are command line interfaces like Bash, SH, KSH, etc
1:47:40 Yes, there are no Ctrl+Z on chown -R. BUT, you could make a script to save to a text file all the permission before the change, so you have a backup to reverse with another script

Hey Eli, just donated $10, but will donate more in the future. These classes are excellent and truly valuable, and let's be honest where else can we learn these things with the raw real world stuff and a bit of snark too (the answer: nowhere)
Hey Eli iam watching your videos from the beginning just few days ago i recommended to ,my college watch your Subneting video. i am working with Kali in cyber security industry
I believe Linus was running Minux on small machines before entering the bigger picture during the 70's and 80's and entered the market with Linux due to demand and sh..t fighting occurring at that particular time. PS. A Chronicle of the Unix Wars on RUclips is in-depth.
Arch isn't under Debian, it is its own thing and uses Pacman vs Apt or Yum. I don't know its origins but at least now Arch is considered its own thing. Thanks for the video and what you do though! Been on Mint at home and RHEL at work for a while now :)
When you talk about DRIVERS for the hardware - is there a DIFFERENCE between one written by the manufacturer of the hardware, and the one found in the Linux repository of Open Source?
Dockers and wsl and virtuabox and all that is cool but nothing has quite the same edge as wiping your master boot record on a dual linux install and hoping you didn’t just brick your PC.
1:07:30 - SUDO now uses a timer. If you have just used sudo successfuly, it will not require you to enter your password again for a couple of minutes for tasks that require SUDO. I'm pretty sure this wasnt the case back in the day. But then again, I just noticed you are logged as "root", so thats why it didnt ask for the password. But its an OS thing. Nothing to do with DigitalOcean.
It looks like Unix but, since Unix is proprietary, they had to rewrite everything so that it was not Unix internally. Check out the law suits early on between Bell Labs and BSD over that very issue. No Unix code exists in Linux.
@@donaldmickunas8552 You're RIGHT - Linux does NOT contain Unix per se - BUT - it is VERY MUCH like Unix in its structure, and most importantly - its FUNCTIONALITY!
IBM mainframe speak... From punched cards DOS, VM, MVS. And Unix came along. THEN MVS NUCLEUS was re-engineered to include Unix. The mainframe NUCLEUS became bilingual. Meanwhile MAC and Windows are still foreign tongue requiring translation overhead... Linux is Unix "like" less translation...
"Is Arch Debian based?" (20:53) Lol! Your silly for that one... No offense but if you don't know the difference between Arch, Debian, Redhat, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Fedora, etc., (aka "Linux Flavors") then begs me to question if you are the right fit for this video as it is an introduction course to Linux. Not trying to be rude sir. But I'll continue to watch this to see where this goes for now. I hope you were just joking as I am new to your channel. I have been using Linux only for about two years now but in that time I have tried probably 30-40 different Linux distros before settling on Manjaro. (Which is Arch based btw) Along with each distro also comes with its on package manager like (apt, yum, pacman, dpkg, etc.) and desktop environments, which I hope you touch on in this video as well but I'll see. And as an example of what desktop environments are, here are some: Xfce, Kde, Gnome, Cinnmaon, MATE, Sway, i3WM, etc..(also known as Linux flavors in regards to Ubuntu) But a Linux shell as you were saying is wrong. (24:37) A shell would be like: zsh, bash, sh, fish, and it is used to communicate with the kernel. A shell, in its most simplified form, is just an interface between the user and the machine. Typically when people refer to a "shell" they're referring to a command line user interface. But a shell can take many forms. Technically, even a GUI is a kind of shell, though typically GUIs are referred to as desktop user environments. PS. Dont "sudo rm -rf" my comment...! :)
@@JamesSmith-cm7sg Good Question. I would but there seems to be plenty of pre existing Linux dedicated RUclips channels that already do a great job! So much infact that 2 years ago I completely ditched Windows for Linux and I've never looked back. It was scary at first but with a little dedication it was really nothing. I just happened to stumble on this video and heard somethings I didn't agree with but for the most part this was a good video to learn from with minor corrections needed but to be truthful, someone new to Linux would not have known there was anything wrong with this video so I had to speak up.
Speaking of the LINUX BOX, is there hardware that is NOT compatible with Linux - for which there is no driver from the manufacturer or the Linux repository? Where is there a COMPREHENSIVE LIST of all the hardware manufacturers and components, that will work normally and optimally with Linux?
Hey Eli, Digital Ocean logs you in as Root from the console. Root runs apt. You needed to login as a user, assuming you had a user set up for that server, in order to create a situation where sudo would be required to run apt. Had you noticed the prompt, it would have told your, "#" vs "$". Your brain was obviously not working well when you did this lesson. It happens.
Can you please redo this content for us sitting all the way on the left side of the class with your larger than life monitor turned slightly more counter clockwise. Our eyes are about the bleed, can hardly see the screen. Muchas Nachos.
I honestly don’t think that lady clearly understood what a kernel is. I think she understands the concept but that didn’t answer her question. I think she was asking more so of its location.
He lost me about an hour in when he couldn't recognise that he was logged in as root, even though the prompt SHOWED the username 'root' and a pound sign (octothorn #) instead of a dollar sign ($). This and his overall carelessness with the subject matter (due to burn-out?) counts me out.
Channels above 1 million subscribers can use camera microphone again, because it reminds of the early days of RUclips or what is going on in this series? o) I think audio quality like this is a slap in the face to the audience these days.

Yes, though that is an open invitation to anyone on the net to come in and take over your system. Only time that MIGHT work is on a system that would NEVER be exposed to the internet. Even then, it represents a major weakness.
Can Linux actually do anything useful without messing around in an archaic terminal with cryptic commands and switches? The year is 2024. Most Linux demos spend an inordinate amount of time in at the terminal. It's off-putting.
Yet, other OSs have a terminal or a command line as well. Windows has a command line with Powershell. Mac also has a terminal using a version of Linux/BSD. You might want to dig deeper to find out why that might still be viable in 2024. Clue...putting UIs on servers adds a layer of vulnerability that most admins find unacceptable in the Corporate world.
On the subject - you don't have to be smart to use Linux, just PRECISE: and you will discover how stupid some computer techs are -! Realize how frustrating it is for many users when they follow instructions by these techies and hit enter, or click the mouse, and --> it DOESN'T WORK! They don't take into account - THE ENTIRE CONTEXT!
Eli, thank you so much for your lessons and for having the patience to explain and apply them in real time.
this was so good... it's unreal how people have access to this high quality lessons for free. Young people are so lucky.
