      Yes, freedom is so "overwhelming".
      Funny how, though, you don't say that PCs are "overwhelming" because there's so many models and options, from different manufacturers, available.
      Even though it's basically the same thing: anyone can create an "IBM PC compatible" if they want to and many people do.
      Anyone can package together the Linux kernel with a desktop environment and various apps and many people do. Because you can package an OS different ways for different purposes / priorities.
      So it's weird that Linus loves building weird and wacky PCs, but then installs "the One Ring(TM) OS" on them all.
      p.s. You'll mock comments about Linux distros, but where's the similar criticism of comments if someone's posting "AMD Ryzen is better than Intel" or "water cooling beats air cooling" and so forth? SAME THING.
      Dumb Linux distros? Exactly the same thing as the stupid PC builds you do, making a PC out of cardboard or whatever. SAME THING.

    Linus, I need you to read this comment. Vinux is a very old distro that no one who is blind (like myself) or visually impaired uses any more. Most distrobutions are now accessible right out of the box, and support braille displays. You are correct that braille displays are expensive though. I would like to truthfully say, "I use Arch, by the way." I would like to add, "I also have no sight, and set it up on my own." I just want to let you and others know that most distrobutions are now accessible, and that almost no blind person I know uses Vinux.
    Some desktop environments are inaccessible, so inaccessibility is still a challenge. It would be nice if more developers payed attention to accessibility on all operating systems and applications.

    Stellarium is genuinely a really cool application. Yeah you can check on the sky as it appears at your location at that moment, but its also extremely zoomable, it can also show you historical and future positions of stars, constellations, moons, planets, comets and such. If you wanna know what the night sky looked like the day you were born, or wanted to see the moon zip across the screen and infront of the sun on the next solar eclipse you can absolutely do that. Growing up not wealthy and living in a very light polluted area, Stellarium was a real dope piece of software to have. My peak was in middleschool when I used a salvaged projector to throw the night sky over a (admittedly small) section of ceiling.

    Maintaining a Linux distribution was my day job! If you're fine with keeping it close to stock like the Uwuntu, it's a relatively simple venture of changing the preseed configuration and building a disk image.
    If you're looking for deeper integration, you will need to build some custom packages/scripts/repos, but can still depend on up-streams to provide security updates. If you go this path, I'd recommend giving back by providing mirrors or financial support for the project(s) you depend on.
    If you really want to get into it, you can use more leading-edge up-streams like Fedora/Debian/Arch as a base and build your own packages, but I wouldn't start there!

      ​@ishantmehndiratta5460 Linux From Scratch isn't necessarily as a distro building resource, but it is a fantastic general linux resource that gives you a lot of the prerequisite knowledge (and a lot more) to build your own distro. You can even extend your LFS image into a pseudo distro of its own with enough work and creative thinking. Every distro followed essentially that process at some point in its development, where it was nothing but a kernel and a build system all the way to where they are now, even if they didn't restart from nothing for every release.

    I use systemrescue pretty regularly for various things. Most commonly to break into windows and linux systems, including into bitlocker encrypted volumes (when I have the recovery key obviously). But also for various forensics tasks, I've used ddrescue off failing disks to build images for later analysis with winhex for example. Also I've booted compromised systems off it, started the ssh server, and used that to copy files off the compromised system without having to take out the SSD or launching the OS, etc. Very useful tool, can't say I've ever tried it's gui though.

    Haha, it's funny seeing Stellarium here. It's a very commonly used app for astrophotography with computer controlled telescopes. You can use it to click anywhere and then your telescope will move to that location - it's very helpful when doing lunar and planetary imaging.
    The whole being able to change the location / date thing is helpful as depending on where you're physically located, you can see different things at different times, but what's it's *really* helpful for is being able to see when transit events happen (like ISS lunar / solar transits, moon transits of planets like Jupiter, eclipses etc) and you can get exact times for when they happen, so future planning is possible.

One network card was used for PPPoE (DSL connection) and the other network card was connected to the home network. It didn't use NAT but instead a technique called "IP masquerading".

    Nobara Linux is a distro that essentially takes Fedora and adds a ton of kernel and driver tweaks that would probably be too verbose for the average user to install; they’re geared toward gaming performance and modern hardware stuff like HDR and they actually achieve decent results. It’s developed by the same guy that makes Proton-GE (Glorious Eggroll) and it is kept as up-to-daye as it could ever be. It also has a custom steam install with more performance tweaks, and comes with some other preinstalled apps and drivers and such.
    I will note that generally, one wouldn’t want to run things like UwUntu on their genuine main computer due to only having 2 maintainers that might quit at any point, but people generally regard Nobara as fine for production due to how close to stock it is an the reputation of the maintainer.

      Yes, Nobara is a must. Excellent gaming experience, and the maintainer is also the creator of Proton-GE.

      I would caution folks about jumping in the Nobara train. It's supported by one dev that has many other projects in flight.

It also had a weird glitch where the login screen was just a stark white screen. Personally, I recommend just using Fedora and installing the drivers you need yourself. Rpmfusion makes it pretty easy these days.

    For that Linix distro you were talking about at the end, I would like to see benchmarking software on there. In the distant future when I've actually got my project in a release ready state I would love to see it on there too. It's call PAW for Platform ABI Wrapper. The idea is to put an end to the *.exe vs *.elf vs *.etc of operating systems and consoles being the target of development. Instead PAW is targeted and the *.o / *.a object files outputed during compile along with a custom makefile are what are distributed to users who then use their local install of PAW to launch them.
    PAW will then run the makefile 1st to let the makefile decide what of the local object files PAW provides are linked to the compiled object files to then make the final binary (APP_EXT/LIB_EXT variables used to indicate .exe/.elf/.etc). The entire point is that apps developed for PAW are cross-platform by default while the native stuff remains an option via the appropriate directory. If no OTG_DIR variable is defined then PAW will set it to be in the user profile directory (~/ on linux) for the launched app and expect all the apps & libs inside a subdirectory called ".paw" (with relevant subdirectories for each CPU and data model).
    This will also simplify app and library management for users as they don't need to keep a list of apps and libs to reinstall whenever they need to do a "factory reset" on their desktop since the only thing they'd need to reinstall would be PAW itself. The apps and libraries would just be restored alongside everything else they backed up from their home directory.

    I was actually hoping for an LTT Linux video (and I miss Emily) since I recently took the plunge and installed some distros on a 2nd drive on my computer. It seems a lot has changed since your last attempt and there seems to be a bunch of really beginner friendly distros nowadays. I also tried to replicate your challenges from your series and managed to do them on my first day of using Mint. I'm sure the devs have seen your videos :D
    Using Mint, the only issued I had was when switching from Windows to the Mint after a reboot, Mint wouldn't get internet because Windows doesn't release the IP address. I of course reinstalled not knowing that...
    But yeah I think it would be cool if you would try it with something like Linux Mint, Nobara or CachyOS, while the latter one probably isn't as beginner friendly as it's Arch-based.

    • @U1TR4F0RCE

      @psiah9889 7 месяцев назад

      ​@@U1TR4F0RCEeh... As a Nobara User, it's Linus Proof until it isn't. If you use the built in update script and occasionally check the actual Nobara website for fixes to specific bugs... But I've seen it get fairly broken by people running a dnf update instead of the updater script, and a lot of scripts for things will just run stuff like that.
      More or less I don't trust Linus enough here to read the documentation and look things over and understand them first before just... Running whatever's convenient. So something more user-proof like Mint is probably a good call, even though he definitely needs wayland for some of the things he'll want.
