I don't think kill, chmod, wget, sed, ping, aliases, are beginners subjects. I also think you should include something about ed (or how to make a file).
At around 40:00 when creating the "aptup" alias, the system recommended i don't do it there directly, but at a seperate bash aliases file. Can you do a tutorial on how to do that?
this 42 min long video is literally worth a 4 hours lecture at the university, great delivery, simple and straight to the point. you earned a sub, keep the good work !
I think even more, the way he lays out the difference and best use cases for cat, less and grep for example. Could be a multi day or week dive into getting to grips with everything. He also earned me as a sub. I am not using arch btw
Hey DT, I was a Unix system admin for many years. I got my first taste of it 34 years ago. I knew most of this, but you still managed to teach me a few new tricks. Thanks. You missed your calling... I know you like retail a lot, but you are also an awesome teacher/trainer. That is a rare skill. Kudos!
This is awesome! I've been working with UNIX, Linux and Windows for decades. So many things sysadmins (myself included) take for granted, but I meet a lot of junior level employees that never learned some of these basic concepts or practices. I'm pointing them to this video from now on. Most older IT folks don't have the patience to teach this so thoroughly. Well done!
I literally changed this comment 3 times. This is exactly the video i was looking for. U answered a lot of questions i had about commands in the terminal i built up the last weeks. Great stuff man love it.
An excellent video. Will be immensely helpful for new users. Really appreciate the work you doing for everyone. Thankfully I was never scared of the Terminal as I come from the MS-DOS days 😀
This brings me back to 2014. Freshman year of college we had to learn all of this in a required course that was prerequisite for every engineering major
@@etishome4099 Think in this way, I have multiple projects and I have distributed in separate folder so instead of cd .... I can simply make an alias for projects, fronted projects, backend, movies.....When you have few things its okay to avoid but when your work is in different folders everyday you need alias for that.🙂🙂🙂🙂
i cant thank you enough for this video. i just started the odin project, installed a dual boot but the linux terminal always confused me. i just watched your video and the way you teach is excellent!!! thank you so much.
DT , my son moved to linux because of you. I been using Linux on my "old" laptop 💻 and it work well. zoom works and the downside it's the battery drain fastly. love you from Malaysia 🇲🇾
I applaud channels like this. Here's why. These resources are introducing people to our other options. I converted my computers to Linux a while back. I have no regrets at all. I got tired of questionable operating system behavior which included ads and popups. Since I put Linux MX on some machines and Linux Zorin on others, I'm experiencing nice tight operating systems that 'I' can trust. No ads. No popups. No operating system stubbornness. It just works! In my case, I had another observation. The amount of time I'd observe how often my hard drive and internet lights would be working when nobody is using the machines. With Linux I don't see this activity with these lights. An occasional flicker or two, but no 10 minute sessions of watching these lights showing activity. I'm fond of Linux MX because it lets you change the OS system Icon images. I put my business logo on the start button. I'm a very happy Linux user. Very happy. 👍
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on Linux terminal for beginners! Your explanations and jokes made the learning process so much more enjoyable and approachable. Your guide was instrumental in helping me get a better understanding of the Linux terminal and I appreciate all the time and effort you put into creating it. Your passion for teaching and commitment to helping others truly shines through. Keep up the great work and I look forward to learning more from you in the future! 💌💌
about `touch` - this subtle command does not only create file if it does not exist, but if it does exist, touch will keep it intact, but modify date of last modification (as if you re-saved it just now with same content) ^^^ this is quite handy functionality when you have some other tool depending on date of files, like building-systems or archiving (the "create file" functionality can be achieved by many other ways, but the "refresh the file date" is the main point of existence of `touch`)
Have you ever considered making complete video guides in order for " noobs to poweruser". With the whole purpose to get them started on an Arch distro. I think you have the talent and the skills to educate us starting in linux.
If you are a real beginner and wondering if the terminal is really worth the time Yes it is! You get similar productivity boost from terminal as from learning 10 finger typing over self taught. But terminal has been easier to learn for me at least
Run "man intro", it's a great intro (obviously) to using the Terminal. "info" is good on systems that support it but a bit harder to move around navigate. "man man" is another good place to start, and then from there "man command" (insert any command to learn about). Also "cd --help" or "command --help" is a good cheat sheet. depending your shell (most often bash), "man bash" will get more in depth. "man zsh" would be for the ZSH shell. If you want a bonus to take things to the next next level. Full screen your terminal, get rid of any menu bars or scrollbars, and then run "byobu" to get a terminal multiplexer (window manager) to split the terminal, have multiple tabs, print system info on status bar, pretty much a terminal based GUI so you aren't stuck in a single shell and can start multitasking similar to having multiple GUI windows open but way more efficient and hacker--ish haha.
The first commands that I learned. I always called them navigation commands. Which is the main commands you run daily. People always ask how can you remember these commands. Well repetition for one thing. I always start with 10 commands. Learn them well, until it's burn into memory. Then go to the next 10 commands. Repeat until you get to 100 commands by heart.
Extremely useful for a beginner trying to learn to bash in a terminal window, really needed this for work as I'm expected to handle linux and ubuntu OS based systems.
Good stuff. I was able to learn a thing or two even though I've been using linux for quite awhile now. Really cool that you covered bc. One of my college professors actually helped write it!
Loved the video. I guess since I knew all these I'm no longer a beginner...lol yeah right. Still a beginner. I also would've also added "cd .." to go back one directory. At least I use that one a lot.
Wow this is an awesome video. I'm not a linux beginner by any means, but I'm no advanced user either. Maybe intermediate. Anyhow, this was great. Just started the video a few mins back and I've already learned some basic things I should have already known, but somehow missed. Thanks.
Nice. I knew a lot of these but did not realize 'cd' would go to home and 'cd -' would go back to the previous folder I was in. Kept expecting to hear about 'cd ..' to go up a level
I have been using Linux for a long time in parallel with Windows and exclusively for more than one and a half yearas, but I didn't know that there is a printf command. I am familiar with printf as a c function, but it was this video that taught me about the Linux command with the same name.
I feel you on the terminal commands bit. "Can you recommend a video that will teach a total newbie everything about the terminal?" is sort of like, "I just bought my first guitar and don't even know a single cord. Can you recommend a video that will get me jamming like (insert your favorite superstar guitarist here)?"
I should be sleeping, and I am heading that way. But I was watching this, I am seriously considering dumping Windows and going to Linux. THIS, this reminds me of the good old days running DOS. Obviously just about the same thing. I think I might enjoy this. Okay, time to get some sleep...
Tandy trs80, I learned Basic in the 80s, DOS in the 90s, msDOS shell 6 was my favorite. I upgraded my green screen msDOS to an amber ibm dos in 96.. my bbs was the cyberdome, on my PS1 ibmdos 8color. Yeah new Orleans Superdome was a current thing. PC plus was my browser... via 2400bpm Dial up... Had all Three ISP CompuServe, prodigy and aol... NetZero was always a good back up... By 98.. my skills got noticed. I passed the tests for telecommunication tech II... I'm now retired from at&t Long lines... theses distros, this Linux, it is all the same. Different names and faces but the game... ah the game stays the same... reel to reel, 45s, albums, 8 track or cassette tape. CDs, mp3... Your videos are so helpful, thanks for the lessons 😺
19:55 where you mentioned "'echo" not being able to recognize newline characters; It actually does. You just have to tell echo that you have specials characters in the text with the -e flag. So echo -e "1 2 3" does the same as printf "1 2 3"
Thank you for this video. It's well explained. But for me as an end user, who works mainly with Mac OS and try linux Ubuntu, it's still difficult because I am used to the graphical user interface. And switching from a GUI to command line is difficult. This brings me also to something I still don't understand with linux. People try to convince Windows and Mac users that Linux is great, and it probably is in a certain way. But sooner or later in Linux you will be confronted with the terminal. And that's something most people don't want to use because it's difficult. A command line was the only option in the early days of personal computers, when computers were not powerfull enough for a GUI. But as soon GUI's became mainstraim, much more people used computers because now it was user friendly. So why does the Linux community stick so much to a command line for tasks that can be done much faster and more user friendly with a graphical user interface? How can you convince people this is great to an end user who don't know anything of programming or the use of the command line?
YOU are an EXCELLENT TEACHER. I've spent at least 2 hours on the first 14 min. Taking tons of notes and really visualizing and absorbing, learning the commands. I don't know what kind of USB stick to use to flash the ISO for Linux mint to install on my Windows 10 computer. Any advice appreciated. I want to play asap.
I thoughts it was weird when i first heard Indian accent in a video teaching me computer science, turns out its even weirder hearing a Southern accent in a video teaching me computer science. Jokes aside, its a great video with clear explanation. Good job
touch(1) change the change time of the file. And if the file doesn't exists, it will create the file. So creating a file is just a side effect in change the change time of the file.
Here's a safety tip for "rm - rf": put the "-rf" at the end: rm some/dir -rf. That way you can review the directory before typing the nuclear -rf at the end.

@@6500s1 it is, most of the time (any OS), even with basic file systems. When you delete a file, the data is not actually touched at all, but the space is simply marked as free to use. If nothing is written over it, the file is recoverable with tools.
@@slipcurve1410 and even if it is formatted or writen on multiple times, there are more powerful tools as far as I remember? Maybe the limit is somewhere around 20 full formats or whatever.
@@6500s1 well there are ways, but that goes into data recovery services and stuff like that. I don't think you can recover overwritten files on a basic filesystem with software alone, but of course I might be wrong about that. Not an expert.
