SInce there's a lot of people watching this video right now I just wanted to say that instead of using Etcher I would recommend the use of Popsicle. Etcher has been a hit or miss lately so I would recommend using popsicle for burning Linux isos and if you're wanting to burn a Windows ISO I would look into WOEusb.
You should try Ventoy, it's a multi iso bootable USB software. After the first flash, you just drag and drop iso files onto the flash! You can have many, many isos on one USB. I've tried it and it looks like a great piece of software.
+1 for Ventoy. After the first setup, it saves a lot of time and allows you to put multiple systems in the same USB device, so you can take the most of your big usb stick 😉
Yes, many more people are starting to consider Linux as a true alternative ... Chris Titus helped me see the possibilities of not having to keep paying Microsoft subscriptions ...
@@PoeLemic I’ve played around with Linux for years just out of curiosity, but never fully took the plunge. I didn’t like the slight frustrations of needing to play around with drivers and searching terminal commands just to get up and running. And if I really did want to use the real Microsoft or Apple programs, no way at all. But nowadays, all those apps have web versions, several distros are fairly idiot proof and more easy to use, there are several different “App Store” type things now. Seems a lot easier to ease into it now without fully ditching everything at once.
@@joe28753 Well what I found was that dealing with drivers is easier than it was on Windows tbh, granted I only tried Linux Mint and the installation process already sorted it for me, no need to search online, plus there's an app for easy updates of drivers. I think terminal is mostly unnecessary, I have however had an issue where some of my non-flatpak apps took long to launch and had to find a command to install something which resolved the issue. The way I see it, the only issues with Linux today is software dependency, some of the most popular apps are not available, sure there are other options but often not that great. That and battery life suffers on Linux so you wouldn't wanna run Linux on your laptop, which is horrible because that's precisely where you'd prefer Linux for lower specs.
Tip: If u want to fastly make a bootable usb, u just have the "Disks" app installed on your system. go there and select ur usb, click the three dots in upper right then restore disk image and choose it. and it takes like 2 3 mins based on ur write speed and its done. No extra app needed
I have been using that mode since i have ubuntu but in my opinion i think this app is better than that option, i don't like when every time i wanna search an app the other apps tha i use appear in my screen for change the app is cool (same as alt tab) but for searching i don't think so
@@madthumbs1564 its not that relevant to me because i use a tiling wm insted of gnome de . But back when i used gnome based systems i loved gnome disks
I prefer Deja-dup over Timeshift because Timeshift doesn't support snapshots to external locations. Deja-dup however deals with them rather well, and I can sleep better having my off-site backups
In my opinion people don't adapt to Linux due to the lack of knowledge so videos like this are great. The fact that Linux isn't on a tablet is a downside also. Linux on dex from Samsung was a big jump for Linux and was taken away. A distro has got to be on Android again. I have Andronix but its way too aggravating to use. Thanks.
Also battery life on laptops, that should be a priority fix. On desktop computers, most people aren't that concerned with system resource usage difference as they are on laptops and other mobile devices. That's where Linux should be expanding, laptops. It should be aiming for people who mostly just use their computer as a browser bootloader and media consumption.
@@ararune3734 linux has to be advertised and pushed. It should have a consumer distro. You ever see a Linux commercial? Until Linux gets that type of attention it will not expand too much on desktops.
@@michaelzedalis4690 I don't see that happening though. You ever see Windows advertised? No, they have deals that make their OS pre-installed on most machines. Most people don't install an OS themselves. I was a Windows user until recently, but I always bought PCs/laptops with Linux installed or no OS because it's cheaper and I could always install Windows myself for free and use 'Windows money' for better hardware. Now, if I installed Linux on my dad's PC, he doesn't care, he can't tell the difference, just make it easy for him to find his browser and give him bookmarks. That's why I'm saying, Linux should be 'advertised' to people with simple needs who would use it as a browser bootloader, because that's where its' biggest advantage is, security, no faff with antivirus or any such nonsense, no faff with updates. By all metrics, it's easier to use for people who just wanna turn on their PC and browse. But I can't see people who aren't into tech ever making a switch
@@ararune3734 Your right people not in tech will ever switch. Nobody knew what chrome os was about at first. Windows gets advertised. There are many commercials and its advertised as the pre-installed os for computers at best buy and other stores. I do think however that if linux ever becomes popular on the desktop, Microsoft will be the one responsible. They are adapting more and more of linux all the time. I would not be surprised if they had a distro made already.
@@michaelzedalis4690 Oh well fair enough, I'm not American so I've never seen these commercials. I actually agree with you, it would be Microsoft to push users towards Linux, perhaps inadvertently. Microsoft's primary product isn't even Windows at this point if you've noticed, they're looking more towards the gaming industry, having acquired some giant gaming studios. If they're really hell bent on forcing Windows, it would be through games and exclusivity, but then they'd probably also have to avoid having their games on Steam because Steam is looking to support Linux gaming with Proton and now with Steam Deck even more so. So I think Steam and Microsoft are rivals. We'll see, either way Linux community would have to be open minded and make Linux really accessible.
One of the most important things about Timeshift is its user-friendly Terminal interface, which is what I usually use when I'm not doing anything advanced, or if I can't boot into a GUI. I'm a tinkerer, so I have the commands "sudo timeshift --create" and "sudo timeshift --restore --yes" set to aliases "thisagain" and "fubar" respectively.
Do you (and why) prefer that over zsh with Oh My Zsh? In my experience, zsh has a much broader support from other developers. They, for example, often offer both bash and zsh auto completion. Is fish just compatible with one of both? Or is it less popular and thus less supported?
@@IgnoreMyChan I was a user of omzsh and ombash, and basically what made me prefer fish over the other two, is that fish starts much faster and has the features I need
I don't think that many people realise that Disks can also write ISO images to Flash disks, I use disks if the distro doesn't have it's own image writing software. I like Stacer, just installed that myself after watching this video, thank you for the list.
People don't need gnome tweak; they need to just ditch gnome for kde, cinnamon, xfce, or countless other desktops that don't force you into a single paradigm. Also ulauncher is redundant in other DEs like kde, cinnamon, or xfce. the rest of the suggestions are fine. Before you come crying to me that the gnome workflow is so great. If it's so great, why are you using their party apps to break it's stranglehold so you can customize it? Also don't forget dash to dock that everyone adds to gnome is a third party extension and not actually part of gnome. Seriously, gnome is terrible for your generic desktop users.
@@TechHut Cinnamon is a really solid desktop. The folks at Mint did a great job on it. Personally I'll be a sucker for my plasma desktop. I just railed hard against gnome because it's the default on so many distros, yet it's not very good out of the box for anyone except some developers who don't want to use a tiling window manager.

Some of these apps dont tell the minimum version of ubuntu etc. What if your business still runs on ubuntu 14.04 that's still getting extended security maintenance
Superkey and type. Timeshift requires a system already to restore to while creating an ISO creates a restore you can boot to, use, or install to another disk/computer. Notes with Joplin(encrypted notes) and cross platform. Systems with ISO writers just click the iso and it installs. GIMP is overkill for avg user....something like Pinta is simpler unless you really need that power. YMMV.

@@madthumbs1564 I tried Celluloid, found it too minimal, and couldn't be bothered adding extensions to it, so I stuck with VLC. I also mostly watch videos in the browser anyway, so it hasn't bugged me enough to find a replacement. If you have suggestions though, I'm all ears.
@@cuttlefishn.w.2705 Wdym too minimal, what's it lacking? I had VLC and I had issues with non-flatpak apps taking forever to load, the flatpak version was an eyesore because it wouldn't take my system theme so I just ditched it for the default Celluloid. Problem with Rofi is that it won't find flatpak apps, I prefer it's look over Albert Launcher but I might have to switch.
OOTB mpv has been far better for me, but just recently I've gotten into editing .config files. I've got MPV in a very sweet spot and can't imagine it getting significantly better.
I generally don't pay much attention to these kinds of videos. Got lucky since it was late and I decided to watch, #1 ULauncher... I had to have run across it at some point in the past and just got Alzheimer's but thanks for reintroducing it to me!
I don't want to discourage your videos, which I appreciate. I just want to warn you that there are better alternatives to Gimp and VLC. Keep up the good work
Not a fan of Etcher, you can't just delete the content of the drive and start using it as always after you are done installing whatever. I had to reformat and repartition it.
@@mariozenarju6461 MPV very minimal and keyboard driven, which I feel is great with my DWM+Gentoo setup. Since TechHut is new to Linux, I see why he chose VLC. In Linux, I faced some stability issues and glitches with VLC which isn't the case with MPV, I don't know if video LAN worked on stability or not since it has been a while since I left VLC.
I second that. Ventoy is brilliant. For anyone who doesn't know it yet: You burn Ventoy to a USB stick and after that just copy your ISO files to the free space on the stick. Then boot from the stick and Ventoy will automatically find all bootable ISOs on it and list them. So, you don't have to burn your ISO files anymore. Just copying them to your Ventoy disk is enough to have Ventoy make them bootable. You can even edit the menu and create persistent file images for any of your ISO files. Like I said: brilliant!
Lol I don't agree with a single software choice. Use mpv instead of vlc, rsync instead of timeshift, vim and vimwiki instead of simple note, you don't need to worry about gnome tweaks if you use something better like mate.
11:07 and 11:28 I take it you left these accidents in the video by accident. Please don't do that, because it probably makes many viewers think that their video or their computer froze up.
Opposing to etcher I prefer Fedora Media creation tool, because it also reliably formats USB Sticks, even ones that aren't recognized by Windows, for wich I otherwise would have to boot to Linux
My favorite "Linux apps" are: vim, zsh, make, entr, tmux, gcc, git, htop, latexmk. None of the programs mentioned in the video are "essential", personally I don't use most of them, and a few of them I have perhaps used once or twice over the last year.
Thanks for this. I'm loving ulauncher. VLC sucks, wont launch, or I should say launched once and after that, nada... I know this has nothing to do with you. I apologize, butvi have nowhere else to vent. I'd like to write and tell them my issues but to get through to them, even an email, you have to join a site, so a huge GONG in that. Easier and less hassle to delete it.

lol @ mystery snails! I had some come in on some live plants and they almost took over the entire tank. Took months of cleaning and recleaning to finally get them all out since they reproduce faster than rabbits.
I like both... VSCode is great for developing large projects and maintaining, compiling, building, debugging them. Notepad++ is a great tool for quickly editing source code of almost any language, even languages that VSCode doesn't support, or for just simple plain text files, there is even a hex editor extension. More than that Notepad++ through its template system allows you to create your own custom language syntax highlighting and indentation! I'm not 100% certain, but you might even be allowed to add custom rules for your custom language that will show errors in syntax. You can even create your own extensions or addons for it.
@@skilz8098 Is it really great for large projects, maintaining, compiling, building and debugging? It's a text editor. For such things, an IDE is great, but it's a shame Visual Studio is not available on Linux.

@@cuttlefishn.w.2705 Wdym too minimal, what's it lacking? I had VLC and I had issues with non-flatpak apps taking forever to load, the flatpak version was an eyesore because it wouldn't take my system theme so I just ditched it for the default Celluloid.
Problem with Rofi is that it won't find flatpak apps, I prefer it's look over Albert Launcher but I might have to switch.
Very good video!!! 73 from Patagonia LU3VM!
A similar note taking app that works great is Cherrytree
Simply awesome!!
With Simplenote you should also check out Cherrytree and Joplin. I love Joplin...
VLC? Try Celluloid. it has everything you need and nothing you don't
OOTB mpv has been far better for me, but just recently I've gotten into editing .config files. I've got MPV in a very sweet spot and can't imagine it getting significantly better.
@@madthumbs1564 Celluloid is just a front end for MPV. You may like it
Awesome cool content- thanks mate
Great list. An alternative to installing all of this would be to just use Garuda, most of this stuff is out of the box there.
why use ulauncher instead of synapse? what does it offer to be better?
Great video, bro!
I generally don't pay much attention to these kinds of videos. Got lucky since it was late and I decided to watch, #1 ULauncher... I had to have run across it at some point in the past and just got Alzheimer's but thanks for reintroducing it to me!
I don't want to discourage your videos, which I appreciate. I just want to warn you that there are better alternatives to Gimp and VLC. Keep up the good work
Well name them. Instead of VLC I use the pre-installed Celluloid which I found to be better, cleaner looking.
Forgot to snip some voice breaks out? Guess kdenlive isn't that perfect... JK. Nice video, installed some of them!
So ulauncher emulates krunner with less features?
Not a fan of Etcher, you can't just delete the content of the drive and start using it as always after you are done installing whatever. I had to reformat and repartition it.
10:35 VLC? You can try MPV instead it's highly minimal and can work with most codecs and renders videos using Vulkan.
Vulkan for videos is a bit of an overkill. And VLC has all the possible options for everything media related, in one window
@@mariozenarju6461 MPV very minimal and keyboard driven, which I feel is great with my DWM+Gentoo setup. Since TechHut is new to Linux, I see why he chose VLC. In Linux, I faced some stability issues and glitches with VLC which isn't the case with MPV, I don't know if video LAN worked on stability or not since it has been a while since I left VLC.
@@PixelTrik VLC is actually really stable. Just don't close it completely, but leave it minimized in system tray. That's a mistake everyone makes
I found that some videos play better in VLC compared to mpv, mainly mkv bluray rips, but it could be more because my computer is potato
I use SMPlayer, which doesn't look very good but works well and also remembers where you left off when playing long files.
You desktop environment is Gnome, its your distribution which is Budgie (Ubuntu).
Very USEFUL Video... Thank you
I found two that might be worth testing: Stacer and Notepadqq. Not bad.
I prefer to use ventoy to burn a lot iso images in a single usb drive
I second that. Ventoy is brilliant.
For anyone who doesn't know it yet: You burn Ventoy to a USB stick and after that just copy your ISO files to the free space on the stick. Then boot from the stick and Ventoy will automatically find all bootable ISOs on it and list them.
So, you don't have to burn your ISO files anymore. Just copying them to your Ventoy disk is enough to have Ventoy make them bootable. You can even edit the menu and create persistent file images for any of your ISO files.
Like I said: brilliant!
Very good list!
Awesome video, thanks.
Hello dear sir, thank you! What theme do You use? Thank you 🙏
Lol I don't agree with a single software choice. Use mpv instead of vlc, rsync instead of timeshift, vim and vimwiki instead of simple note, you don't need to worry about gnome tweaks if you use something better like mate.
11:07 and 11:28 I take it you left these accidents in the video by accident. Please don't do that, because it probably makes many viewers think that their video or their computer froze up.
I have Video Downloader (downloading RUclips videos) ang Sound Converter (converting audio formats) ! 😁😁😁
Opposing to etcher I prefer Fedora Media creation tool, because it also reliably formats USB Sticks, even ones that aren't recognized by Windows, for wich I otherwise would have to boot to Linux
If you have DaVinci resolve on the thumbnail at least put it in the list
GIMP (Image manipulation, Photoshop alternative)[Krita is the better choice]
My favorite "Linux apps" are: vim, zsh, make, entr, tmux, gcc, git, htop, latexmk. None of the programs mentioned in the video are "essential", personally I don't use most of them, and a few of them I have perhaps used once or twice over the last year.
yeah, this seems like a video for noobs, but why vim over Emacs?
@@madthumbs1564
Because vim is an editor and emacs is bloated like web browsers
Thanks for the neofetch....
I see you also run Ubuntu budgie. A man of culture
Culture is not our friend.
very good content
Thanks for this. I'm loving ulauncher. VLC sucks, wont launch, or I should say launched once and after that, nada... I know this has nothing to do with you. I apologize, butvi have nowhere else to vent. I'd like to write and tell them my issues but to get through to them, even an email, you have to join a site, so a huge GONG in that. Easier and less hassle to delete it.
Stacer is nice tool, specially its services display.
hi, the lixux mint doesn't work for me connect via usb midi keyboard - it won't show up anywhere. At the same time, I easily connect all disks, mice, and PC keyboards on the same USB. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
Is worth mention timeshift is a solution to backup the distro not the files.
New to ubuntu....when using the " sudo apt install stacer" I get unable to locate package. After reading package lists. Or how do you build up your pacgage list? Thx in advance. I did do a download and thought it was downloaded but got the message "file not supported"
You have to add the repository, it's not in your OS repository, I use Linux Mint but it should be the same on Ubuntu, what I did is this :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oguzhaninan/stacer -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install stacer
Windows, ISo, Android :D come on TechHut it's IOS!
What I hate is different version of same thing like piece of clothes and choices is hard to understand and have to listen the sales person who is selling certain product...
How to change two diffrent calc files using key board shortcut...when using alt + tab it moves to different application ..cant move in between two same application files...please help me
1:30 [ULauncher] It's way easier than... [demonstrates basically the same workflow as before]. I don' get the point of ULauncher. On Windows, Microsoft has created an equivalent PowerToy so I guess there's user demand but what's so great about a screen centered search field?
It's pretty and it has some advanced file searching features.
Can you give us a list of the softwares you mentioned?
Downloaded ulauncher but it does not start when pressing ctrl and spacebar
Cool video, just the case for #launching ;)
What's the name of that pack of icons?
Does Notepadqq support plugins?
lol @ mystery snails! I had some come in on some live plants and they almost took over the entire tank. Took months of cleaning and recleaning to finally get them all out since they reproduce faster than rabbits.
Sublime, Cherry tree.. good too.
Also, VSCode is a rather nice editor, and a good replacement for Notepad++/Notepadqq.
I like both... VSCode is great for developing large projects and maintaining, compiling, building, debugging them. Notepad++ is a great tool for quickly editing source code of almost any language, even languages that VSCode doesn't support, or for just simple plain text files, there is even a hex editor extension. More than that Notepad++ through its template system allows you to create your own custom language syntax highlighting and indentation! I'm not 100% certain, but you might even be allowed to add custom rules for your custom language that will show errors in syntax. You can even create your own extensions or addons for it.
@@skilz8098 Is it really great for large projects, maintaining, compiling, building and debugging? It's a text editor. For such things, an IDE is great, but it's a shame Visual Studio is not available on Linux.
Fedy is also a lovely tool to keep....its easy to go installer :) sadly only for fedora :(
Which Linux distro you are using in this video ...pls ?
Ran into a problem with Simplenote. I'm running Ubuntu on a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM. Turns out Simplenote won't run on ARM64 architecture.
I'm also having trouble getting Private Internet Access to work. I'm wondering if it might be the same issue? Not asking for solutions, just wanted to post.
