Excellent. Take my bow for keeping it simple. The reason why Windows users just don't use or hate Linux on their working machine is, the way Linux's experts present Linux to new or Windows user. They just ask to install Ubuntu. Open terminal and *Blah Blah* No average user want to use command prompt. I agree you can do hell lot of things using terminal. But really does anyone want to start with it? This makes impression to new user that Linux means command prompt. 🤷🏻♂️ No one teach concept. One must consider that no user want to use terminal until he is done with GUI methods. Terminal is for advanced user, not the beginner who can't (or don't want to) memories commands. Average user use Word, Excel, Power Point, Photoshop, Chrome, OBS Studio, Hitfilm Express kind of software. There was plenty of free software available on various repositories. To use these software, an average user even don't need (to be more precise *Don't WANT* ) *Terminal* or command prompt.

VG ... Damn, you understand and explain this well. I'm a long-term Windows user and quite good, not a newbie. And, I do 100% agree with you. Because I am trying to develop my Linux skills, but the CLI somewhat scared me off ... no, more felt like a waste-of-time. I don't want to have to do ONE BILLION THINGS (half-of-which I don't know which to do -- as a new user who doesn't know what to install or whatever). I just want to click on a program, download it, and it runs. Yeah, of course, I can come up-to-speed on that stuff, over time. But the Software Library GUI is best way on Linux for me to install stuff.

I also have some very experienced Linux users in my circle of friends. Here's my question, especially since you demoed Audacity. The latest Audacity for Mint is 3.3.3, but you can't install it from the package manager. I did have to go to the Audacity website and, 'lo and behold, it appears as an appimage. First, where do I put it? I had it in /bin, and then one of my Linux friends who has been using it for decades, said to put it in /opt. But, after watching your video on file system, I'm thinking perhaps it should be in /usr. Second question: I blundered into actually getting the icon(?) on the desktop, but I'd really like to get it on the panel, or in the Start Menu. There seems to be no drag-n-drop way of doing it, and it's just not intuitive. How do I do this? Thank you for excellently-produced and easy to understand videos.

It will not cause conflict. A distro that uses apt (apt-get) can use multiple GUIs. They all use the same database. You can use Software Center to do things, then Synaptic, then apt in the terminal.

I was going through your video and noted that you said Octopi was the package manager for KDE (Plasma). That is incorrect. Octopi is a GUI package manager for AUR which are the community repos for Arch and Arch based distros like Manjaro. It's a bit confusing as Manjaro labels Octopi (as well as Pamac, Manjaro's AUR GUI manager for Gnome and other GTK based DEs) as "Add/Remove Software" For the official repos for any distro, Plasma uses Discover. For Ubuntu based repos which use the PPA based community repos, Discover can install/uninstall software from those as well. Plasma labels Discover as simply "Software"

Many distros have great support for printers and will automatically install the drivers.

Some printers have a Linux driver available on the manufacturer's website with instructions on how to install it. This isn't only a Linux issue. I've had to manually download and install drivers on Windows 10 for some printers as well. I feel this is really an issue with the printer manufacturers. They should focus on making universal printing instead of needing different drivers for every brand and model.

The problem is that sometimes the software store has old software. For example, Kubuntu had old VirtualBox, old Eclipse that didn't even work, old LibreOffice, old SearchMonkey. The exact moment that a new version is made, is not the exact moment that you get an update. I'm not sure why apt, snap, zypper, flatpack, dpkg exist. All these things are package managers?
@Doriandotslash3 жыл бұрын
This is all to do with the type of distro you choose. Fixed releases tend to have slightly older packages in order to maximize stability, and are updated less often to ensure you get a bug-free experience. For the most-part, this doesn't matter unless you specifically need a newer version because of a specific feature. A rolling release distro will have the newest package versions, but at the cost of introducing possible bugs (which is rare), and you will also get pinged with updates more often. apt, zypper, pacman etc are all package managers that different distros use. It's just a tool they choose. But snap and flatpak are slightly different because they use applications that are designed to be independent of which distro you're using, and also run inside a sandbox which will not be able to affect your system if something goes wrong. You can use flatpak for example on any distro, and will always get the same version of software across all distros. Flatpaks are also usually one of the newest versions available. This is what I typically do nowadays; I use Debian for maximum stability, and then if I want a newer version of a package, I'll use flatpak to install that.

So if your not supposed to install it from there site then why do they show it like we can use it?
@Doriandotslash3 жыл бұрын
Well here's the thing. You CAN install it by downloading files from a website, but this is a less secure way of doing things. When you use the package manager, you know it's coming from a trusted source. Also, if you just download and install a file from the website, it won't get updated with system updates. When you use the package manager to install software, it will update that software for you when it's available. It's also important for major bug fixes and security patches because you'll get those very quickly though a package manager.

Is it a general rule that vpn software doesnt work with package managers usually?
@Doriandotslash3 жыл бұрын
It depends what it is. There are open source vpn packages but if it’s something like the NordVPN software then for this you would need do download their deb package from their website.

@Doriandotslash4 жыл бұрын
That is one of the special cases where you can indeed download from GitHub (git clone) since it's likely not in any repos.

I would like to install an older version of Emacs by hand where might I find instruction for this? Do you have a video for doing things by hand (command line not using apt).
@Doriandotslash3 жыл бұрын
Most package managers will let you install older versions, but the commands to do that are different depending on what distro you're using, and it has to be done in the terminal. So if you're using an Ubuntu or Debian-based distro, one way is to run "sudo apt-get install emacs=1.1" And replace 1.1 with whatever version you're looking for.

@@faharoon357 Ah, that would require running your own repository, which is a bit of work, but doable. I did it myself several years ago. It takes hundreds of gigs of storage, but I think you can probably find a way to hold only certain packages.

You can try a different distro. Or try using snaps or flatpaks to see if ya there. Last resort is to download it from a website or compile it yourself.

Hi Dorian, I unfortunately am not versed in Linux but am using it as I don't want to use Windows or mac. As I'm new to it all I tried to install software directly from a website. I can't remember exactly what I did when the open box came up but it asked to open a tar.gz file which I did, but then I realized I was beyond my depth so came out of it all but now am concerned that I have this file on my system and want to delete it but I can't find it anywhere in order to delete it using all the basic ways to find files. You've mentioned in this video that the files are installed all over the system so.. can you help at all?
@Doriandotslash4 жыл бұрын
If you downloaded it with the web browser then it might be in your downloads folder. If it’s not there then it put it in the temp folder. So if you see it in your downloads folder, just delete it. If it’s not there then don’t worry about it because the temp folder gets cleaned out.

Home made software is a little more difficult because you need to know what the requirements are for the program and install those first. This is why a program like PlayOnLinux (which installs programs for wine) use a database of dependencies to ensure those are set up first.
