We all know how it's going to go but will watch anyway

What he said, exactly as he said what he said.

@@TorqueKMA right? Linus is literally forcing himself to use Linux and he's gonna bash at it so much. Nonetheless the Linux community will not Linus talk crap about Linux. Relax. We will have our glory.

@@TorqueKMA we all know how it will go. Because we all know how easy it is to come of with good criticisms of Linux.

I hope linux operating system community will take is as important lesson of blind spots their system have Kept working on cutting edge niche technology, while novice feels completely lost

1v1 duel of the linuses to the near death!

That ultimative final boss challenge is the right thing to do for real PC enthusiasts. The PC platform offers thousands of hardware ways to reach a goal and likewise GNU Linux does offer the freedom in software customization. You are going to fall down at the beginning, but never give up. Stand up and try again with a different strategy. With patience, passion and fun you learn until maybe one day you finally became a true master of the game! Then you look back and laugh like conan the barbarian about the silly noob mistakes, you have made and ride on your GNU and with Linux into the sunset. PS: That fantasy and metaphors are silly, awkward and embarrassing, right? Therefore please leave a like :D LOL

Does that mean switching roles with random subordinates? That'd be fun

“This is Linus Tech Tips, and I pronounce Linus as Linus.”

Put your precious pc on the hand of linus is the ultimate challenge

Yes, I need this

Same but thankfully there are linux channels that already does reaction videos on this :)

Go watch mental outlaw or Luke smith

There some guys that explain all this deal with good detail, linux experts

Level 1Tech has a series on Linux

Damn sun yes. A thousand yeses to the man in ( what color is Linux again?) Trousers! We want steam Deck walkthroughs.

Yes please

YES Although they already do like 19 videos a week or something crazy, so they’d probably need to hire more people

New channel Linux Tech Tips

I feel like Mr. Anthony is a very busy man, he'll probably won't be able to be the host. They'll probably have to hire another Linux guru.

yeeees

I hope that happens

Yes please

WoohoovLinux channel comming soon??

That could be a new channel: Linux Tech Tips

Nah it’s perfect

Are you sure about that ?

👀

Epson printers are pain on Linux. I once bought an L120 without looking for compatibility and I could only get it technically working (It made black by combining all the colors) after trying multiple different drivers

@@Technodragon9513 I forget the model of this one. I snagged it when my grandfather was throwing things out, because it was slightly better than the budget model Lexmark multifunction I had. The Lexmark retired to being an obese scanner, while the Epson became my regular printer.

I've always found printer support the best on Linux. Had multiple Canon printers that were an absolute nightmare to set up on Windows. Even when I first started playing with Linux, I had it running within a minute.

@@vinno97 I have several canon printers that require a 3rd party driver to work - all of them pro series. TurboPrint gets to be expensive as hell when you have to update it for every major distro upgrade. On the other hand, I have a color laser that works just fine... Very hit-or-miss what works.

The last time I set up a printer on Linux, they had to be postscript.

Not just almost, it is very much a skill, that I apparently don't have

My classmates used to laugh at me back then because I google things a lot. Now they ask me for pretty much anything connected to software or hardware. It is a skill that everyone should practice nowadays imo

The traditional name for this is skill is google fu

@@AgapitoHampaslupa12 I used to only search using the "I'm feeling lucky" button as a challenge. It has really helped me in my later years.

Funny you say easy, printing is the only thing i have not setup on my installation of linux, becuase i have had only bad experiences only. I literally prefer emailing documents to myself and printing from my android phone.

@@konstakuosmanen I think it depends on your exact printer. If there's no driver, then obviously it won't work. But pretty much any laser/business printer will work under Linux for the fact that many businesses use CUPS for printing. I have a 10 year old Canon color laser that requires a .deb/.rpm from Canon be installed, and then it works. I run a CUPS server for it so I can print from any computer, even my iPhone. If you have a spare raspberry pi, this is a great use for it.

@@bladee_enjoyer540 Well rpi isnt the best answer cause usually even if driver is available for linux its not for arm arch.

Funny how I never had any of the problems that Linus had but the problem I had was the printer.

gksudo system-config-printer

The worst is when you set a screen locker but not suspend so you have to log back in to pause the music

Oh man... what a story... Ubuntu almost caused me hear damage once. I installed it on my laptop, everything working fine. I lowered the volume like I always do before plugging headphones, I plugged my earbuds and wore them, I pressed play... my ear drums got abused and violated with the loudest sound waves I've ever heard and I had to yank my earbuds off my ears and that's when I realized that the no matter the set volume level, the headphone output always outputs at max volume. I haven't figured that one out, I haven't touched my laptop in years and couldn't bother, I just never plugged any headphone in my laptop since then. The speakers work fine. That has been the worse experience I've ever had with Linux.

@@Lambda_Ovine I was also using Ubuntu. I also had to keep the volume down real low using headphones.

@@Lambda_Ovine your comment actually made me chuckle :D thanks for that man - really need some happiness right now - also F to your ears and thx for sharing your story :)

*screams in Epson printers* The official linux drivers are compleatly broken even on supported distros. I had to use the airprint protocol make it work

@@mek101whatif7 How about CUPS for printers then?

@@mek101whatif7 mine is fully working, but i don't know how to use Brother's scanner lmao

@@lesserfield_ just install simple scan and you should be good to go

@@lesserfield_ You still use an actual scanner? There are phone camera apps that can do as good a job as a consumer scanner, unless you're doing loads of scanning, a phone will do fine.

One Linu. Two Linus.

Bing is actually pretty good these days

More like "Nightmare"

@cpong and then they shit on windows for being a POS os

ikr, like look up the exact video id of a youtube video, and then remove one letter/digit and the algorithm is screwed

Yeap! And it's worst when devs give stupid bland names for their stuff and there's not forums dedicated for it. For example, troubleshooting the game Control before it was released on Steam was near impossible! The words control, game and fix/issue/whatever doesn't take you anywhere LOL

@cpong Absolutely and I say that ironically as a member of that Linux community..

Same as windows lol

there are actually cross platform printer drivers that works on every platform. get drivers for your printer (or a generic driver) from openprinting

@@televizion9962 not really, windows sometimes loses the printer on the network. Never had that on Linux

Scraping the barrel

Luke used Linux in college, so not really a fair comparison.

@@jeremyphillips3087 I mean... Past experience probably wouldn't have helped him too much with some of the issues he got. He likely still would have needed to search for the answers. But either way. Glad to see them both giving it a solid shot. Linux isn't for everyone, but I'd love to see it become a bit more mainstream. Tbh I'd like to see it with a 5% market share. That'd give it enough market for it to genuinely influence the competition and we could see some more innovative solutions coming from Windows and Mac. Hoping the steam deck pulls Linux up by its boot straps so normal people can actually use it.

@@foxman8344 They actually talk about Luke's familiarity helped him get started, where Linus was stuck wondering what to do. But I agree that competition is almost always good.

Same here. I've never had any issues. I've even installed Linux on my mother's computer and she's been using it smoothly for years.

I think technical level also plays a big role since even though I have friends who know Windows and Mac machines in and out decently well (some to advanced levels), they find Linux to be cumbersome because of the terminal or things that are just done different on Linux (that they don't even think about). I have a friend who can get around Ubuntu pretty well as long as a GUI is involved, but when anything terminal comes up it can be hours of searching for solutions. Meanwhile I have an easier time because I work as a software developer and have come to learn that the terminal or anything similar (CMD in Windows) is your friend for any error. Since it likely gives you an error code, message, or whatever that someone somewhere probably already has solved. But my friends who don't do that for their job see a scary wall of errors and just give up since they have no idea what it is or even how to parse an error message. I forced myself to daily drive Arch because I thought that if I can get it to work and get everything setup I'll force me to learn how to fix anything if it breaks. But not everyone wants/has the time to learn all the in-outs of linux and just switch back to Mac or Windows (I am guilty myself of doing that several times).

I thought I was lost my mind when the say that fist part is out last week and could not find it.I glad the clear up that video was push back.

why do you have so many printers

@jomo It's cheaper to buy a new one than to replace the expired ink

@@subjekt5577 Not since the new printers come with minimal ink catridges that are only good for a couple pages.

And dont forget: Setting up a samba server on your pi that somehow doubles your shown printers, except they dont work and you cant remember which work :/

I'm grateful for Apple for making CUPS open source. Because for the ones who don't know it, Linux uses CUPS for printing too. And my experience was so easy too.

And wearing socks and sandals.

Oh no, I draw the line at socks and sandals.

Mint cinnamon was my first distro and it’s legit a fantastic for beginners. I am on manjaro personally because I wanted more up to date packages and am tired of Ubuntu forcing snap on people but I still use cinnamon and mint’s theme and icons cause I just love mint so much.

Luke's testing mint, it's close enough

I actually laughed a bit when Linus was talking about the printer, that made my day

Exactly the opposite experience for me. Windows might support O365, which my company uses for mailing and all of that stuff, but as soon as I tried setting up Docker on Windows, I knew that Linux was the way to go.

I second this too + maybe a video about using raspberry pi for a basic day-to-day usage.

They not undereated. Had so many friends raging over tablets threwout the years its funny. From cheapo ones wich is to be expected to expensive ones. I cant realy say much tho never owned one due to thinking its a weird niche that will die out. Havnt even seen a tablet in 2 years now. I prefer raspberry pi. Can use the touch screen i bought or plug it to a monitor and have an actual second pc. But heck why not mane it happen.

@@nullerror4049couple of years ago, tablets were terrible. They were just seen as "big mobiles". But they've come a very long way. I currently use the Samsung S7 FE, in combination with my Windows system. No issues faced. Just an entire day of use on-the-go when I'm out and about..leaving the "heavy lifting" when I'm back home with the windows system

Debian doesn't install stuff like hplip by default so it's missing a lot of ppd files to get those printers working. Took me a week to find out the first time, now I know what packages to install.

@@NiekNooijens yeah . . .I would have thrown the laptop in the river long before figuring that out. I tried.

Wow, I would immediately return any printer that pulled that sort of crap on me. There's no reason why it couldn't just first-boot as a WiFi AP that hosts a configuration portal that you can access via any web browser on the network - ie. exactly how many IoT devices work.

depends on the printer, mostly it just works
