I just finished watching all the videos in this series to prepare for a productivity/light gaming PC I'm building. Linux has always been intimidating as a lifelong windows user, but this series real helped quell that fear. I'm actually pretty pumped to start working in Ubuntu.
Mate, this is the very best video I have every watched explaining the different ways of getting software on Ubuntu. I’ve watched quite a few, but have never fully understood the differences and advantages like you’ve explained so clearly in this video. Thanks so much. Enjoy 2021. Steve.
Do you have plans on doing to video on installing applications from sites other than the updates area of Ubuntu? I see several websites that offer software for Linux but since they are not in "packages", the process is a lot more confusing. Thanks for considering.
How often do you update in Ubuntu? does it eat your storage space for example if I have about 100GB of storage left and I start updating all the time 700mb in a weak then 800 the next weak or a month for example won't I run out of storage space in less then a year when you pile everything up ? I wan't to keep things up to date, but I'm worried that the updates are so frequent that I won't have enough disk space. How much MB's or GB's do you waste in a whole month or year with updates?
Seems like a stupid question, but I don't have the "launch" button in the software manager. After installing, I can only manage it's access or remove it.
I have downloaded app for my scanner Canon Lide 400. The files are now in the Download folder. When I doubble klick on install.sh nothing happens. What did I do wrong? Thought you would explain how to install apps outside the "Ubutu software" app.
Excellent video again. Only question: what is the advantage of someone providing a package as an AppImage vs an EXE file? If the AppImage opens up faster, why not just use that option for all installs?
Thanks, and great question. An appimage is a self-contained package containing the executable and all necessary dependencies, so it can be run, directly. With a Windows .exe file (assuming we're referring to a setup.exe or install.exe) it is unzipping the executable program & files to a new directory on your PC (also, .exe's aren't compatible with Linux unless using a compatibility layer like WINE). I honestly use appimages for most of my stuff, including Kdenlive, the video editor I use to make all these videos. Some problems can occur, like if you need GPU hardware acceleration. You don't want to run a game from an appimage, flatpak or snap package when you need full, direct hardware utilization of a graphics card -- for a reason higher than my Linux knowledge, it affects performance, negatively. Like Blender, the program I use for my 3D animations. I need the Nvidia GPU to reduce render time, but if I use a containerized version of the app, in my experience, it doesn't detect my GPU so I can't use it when making 3D videos. Sometimes native apps are the way to go. Hope that helps!
Do you have a video on Wine. Because I use Cyberlink PowerDVD to play bluray movies. And also will it be as good running on Ubuntu as it would on windows 10. Also if you install software from a website. Is it still easy to uninstall.
Good question. Not yet, Wine is hit and miss. It can also get pretty technical, and I aim this channel at making Linux for the everyday user. The moment someone has to write 50 things in configuration files & run several terminal commands just to get a single app to open, it ceases to be helpful, IMO. If I can find a way to make it easy for the everyday user, then I'll happily make a video about it. In the meantime, I'd recommend you try finding a more Linux-native way to play blu-ray videos, honestly. I think you'll be happier in the long run. Google how to play blu ray ubuntu -- the help documentation is endless. :)
BTW, Linux works hard to give you the best of their work...not as Windows they just want momey, so they make an OS too simple so people think it is too easy and download it and pay, but Linux are looking forward to making better and better of their OS
Hi, I really like your Ubuntu series. I just installed the Studio version and was just wondering what your preference would be to update Krita to the latest ver? On the website it gives a couple options, Appimage or Ubuntu PPA? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the kind words and great question. I try to keep software native or non-containerized so I can give them as direct access to the hardware as possible, so I use the latest version of Ubuntu and just install from the native repo's. If you wanted the latest and greatest, I'd go flatpak if you wanted the automated updates and appimage for the latest updates you can download. For example, I download the Inkscape appimage when a new beta comes out, place it in a hidden folder in my home directory, make it executable, and run it from there. Not the most seamless method, but it works. :) Hope that helps!
I have created a Linux instance on Google Cloud Platform to test Linux before I commit to it on my local PC. I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed on my instance but I do not have the Ubuntu Software Center icon. I have the other two though. Would this be because I am using a Cloud instance?
Please ignore this question as I was able to install the Software Center (now just called Software in my 20.04 cloud instance as opposed to Ubuntu Software Center in this video) via SSH from my instance of the Google Cloud Platform and running install gnome-software.
hey this is linux TV right? so you must have used parrot os , i whe i switched to linux , and after trying many distros , i came to parrot os, and i want to make it my daily use os, so can you even make such an awesome series on parrot os please? and please dont get dis heartened when you see less views or subs, you are doing a great job . and you are like a god to those who want to learn and try out new things , for example, before i made my descision to choose my os , i also believed to first try everything and then decide , and i found you r channel!! and now i use linux and its my favourite!
Hi there just recently installed Ubuntu on my new laptop (which did not had any OS preinstalled). For some reason the system does not recognize my home wifi, which my old Windows laptop does, why is that?
You may need to purchase a USB wifi adapter that's compatible out of the box with Ubuntu. I'd recommend searching on Google, DuckDuckGo or Amazon for "USB wifi adapter Ubuntu". They're pretty cheap, now-a-days.
@gilkesisking Well thank you for your informative response, but I have to ask why does the same laptop works on a wired connection (from the same Internet provider)?
@@fymlinux Update: I think I solved the issue. After finding out what my wifi hardware is I just followed this guide subinsb.com/install-realtek-d723-wifi-driver-linux/#prerequisite and now my laptop can access the wifi provided by the Internet router near me, although it does not caught the signal of the router I have in the opposite corner of my apartment while the old Windows one does.
I had the same problem when I first put Linux Mint onto my laptop, I had to use an Ethernet cable connected to my hub to get onto the internet then I managed to get the wifi working. I hope this helps, good luck.

Same here bro
Watching your video I Conquer all of my problems regarding any software installation in ubuntu os!
Thank so much for your incredible support!
I love how when he typed Steam, it came up almost last in the list of search results lol. The Linux struggle.
Couldn't agree more -- the struggle is real! It's one of the negatives intentioned in my most recent Ubuntu review.

Thank you dude for taking efforts and explaining process in simple words.

Thank you so much for making Such an easy and understandble video.
Another great video, thank you for sharing. May I wish you & your family a Very Happy New Year.
Thanks dude! A very Happy New Year to you and yours as well!!
Are appimages as secure as native apps? Given that they are not installed programs, what are the respective pros and cons?
How often do you update in Ubuntu? does it eat your storage space for example if I have about 100GB of storage left and I start updating all the time 700mb in a weak then 800 the next weak or a month for example won't I run out of storage space in less then a year when you pile everything up ? I wan't to keep things up to date, but I'm worried that the updates are so frequent that I won't have enough disk space. How much MB's or GB's do you waste in a whole month or year with updates?
Ubuntu's updates don't really take up any space. It just swaps things out. Some updates are only a few kilobytes big.
what about downloading and installing from the website like on windows?
Seems like a stupid question, but I don't have the "launch" button in the software manager. After installing, I can only manage it's access or remove it.
I have downloaded app for my scanner Canon Lide 400. The files are now in the Download folder. When I doubble klick on install.sh nothing happens.
What did I do wrong?
Thought you would explain how to install apps outside the "Ubutu software" app.
Do you have a guide to the preinstalled Ubuntu apps and how to use them?
I don't, but I'll add it to the production list. 😁
My Ubuntu Software Center does not load anything beyond the main page, it just spins (loading) and spins, but nothing comes up. And I just updated.

What about downladed applications ???? you only described installs using the stores
Can you tell me about the wine for installing windows apps on ubuntu please.
i love the wallpaper 😍 can you send me the link
Thank you
Thank you... I want to learn Linux so I can trash windows 😂 I sure hope you have other tutorials . ❤️ 🙏
Ubuntu a pain in the neck. Windows still light years ahead, I am afraid.
I can't uninstall brave browser installed from ubuntur software store using the remove button given in there.

Is there any way we can install Adobe illustrator and Photoshop ?
Not conveniently. It’s one of Linux’s kryponites: Adobe software.
How do i get rid of Ubuntu off my laptop and get windows
I'm surprised that linux doesn't have that much users it's seems a lot better than windows 10 but I can't install it because I don't have a usb drive
