is that jazz fusion you got playing? whatever it is, super nice!

Type 2 hypervisors are the last 14 years not really slower than type 1 hypervisors. Nowadays you could say; type 1 is an hypervisor integrated in the Host OS kernel and the type 2 hypervisor is mostly extended to full OS functionality, like e.g. support for application containers. Xrandr is not supported by Wayland. You should install the Virtualbox Guest Additions to avoid the old fashioned Xorg use of xrandr. Afterwards you can move the VM-Windows like any application window and CTR+F expands it to full screen and it works the same for Windows :) Virtualbox will remember the last size and location of the VM window and at next boot it will use it as default position and size.

the real reason I ditro-hop isn't the distro it's because installing Linux is like a drug.

Linux Mint the"ak47"from the Linux distros it never jams

Calling it religious is the wrong term for it. There is a better term "fanatic"

Just switched from mint to Debian enjoying it

Linux is great once you get used to it. I did. User since 2017. Settled on MX Linux Xfce.

i wanted to give you the thumb up for a very good audio quality :)

Wrong, Mac OS is partialy open source under BSD License for the Darwin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)

I have been a linux hater till 2018 when I discovered that this is not to be hated and to be embraced. Like any OS it is not perfect. Linux much more customizable and is not resource heavy. I now appreciate why users are now embracing Linux. Keep up the Videos.

Well said what's break the difference boundary of difference are "cross platform applications" dictate to stop theme W7 on Linux harassment has gone too far. Those Linux is not windows preachers are Gnome, Unity Ubuntu fanboy who slur W7 ugly for no reason they're overboard Windows haters unlike us windows refugee only hate W11 ugliness and privacy intrusive.

can you make a video of some basic sample projects using the LAMP stack on debian12? I was using debian 11 with XAMPP, and everything was working fine...but somehow on debian 12 I have been running into some problems to display the projects on the browser on localhost. I've granted the basic permissions such as "chmod 755", even "chmod 777" to "/opt/lampp/htdocs/projectname" and later in the root directory "/opt/lampp/apache2/htdocs/projectname", but it didnt work (500 error).. I don't know what's happening, dont wanna downgrade but learn how to make it work on debian 12 (it could even be with the lamp stack installed saparetadly, but im a beginner yet..). Thanks for your videos btw!!

Ciao and thank you for your nice Video, which i like to share at Telegram and at Tribel, i'm a Debian User since late 1998, many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃

Thanks. I think you got a little out in to the woods with bootloaders and kernel stuff. I've been at this forever and still don't understand systemd but it's never been a blocker for installation. Anything anyone is going to install from an .iso is going to have sensible defaults, whether Wayland (it's here now, not 5-10 years) or not it should just work. It'll have a display manager and some sort of DE baked in. Whether KDE, Cinnamon, GNOME or Xfce there's gonna be something. You have to go out of your way to download a distro with a window manager and the vast majority of new users are going to go with some flavor of Debian, Fedora or Arch . Probably Debian. They're not watching this video if they want to run Void, NixOS or Gentoo and Hyprland. You get pretty detailed. I don't want to come off as critical and hope you take this constructively. I learned a lot and you obviously know what your talking about. There was just a lot of detail that I think most users will never need to dig into.

5 or 10 years for wayland?

I'll bet this video took a long time to put together. Great job.

Nice and to the point, one thing I'll mention is that with KeePass it's better to use KeePassXC, which is the most "cutting edge" fork/version and so more likely to receive security updates faster than the other two.

Well done on this very useful video, which I will certainly share with family and friends to whom I recommend using a Linux system instead of Win... I have now subscribed to your channel and will watch out for your future videos. I use most of the same applications as you do, with the exception of GIMP... it has just never worked well for me, and I am very happy with the combo of Krita and Inkscape instead. Also, for video editing, I use OpenShot which seems to have some more functionality over Kdenlive. You might also want to look at the free (apparently VERY popular and powerful) Davinci Resolve video editor. For managing music collections / playlists, etc. I can recommend both Musikcube (which has a TUI - Text User Interface, and is wonderful to use when you get used to the keyboard shortcuts) and Audacious (which took some inspiration from the old Winamp, and can even be set to look just like it). For file management, I use Double Commander, as I am used to working with 2-pane file managers since the old Norton Commander days... and Double Commander is very similar to Total Commander (the plugins are even compatible), but it is GPL-licensed FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). BTW I use all of these applications on both Win 10 and MX Linux (which is based on Debian Linux, but with some great enhancements, including a newer kernel which supports the latest hardware such as AMD Ryzen 7000, and with newer compiled packages than Debian 12). I can definitely recommend MX Linux to anyone who wants a stable, yet up to date Linux-based system, which just works..., as it works very well for me - also with Steam gaming. For communications, I mostly use Signal messenger - on Android, Win and Linux-based systems. I've also been trying Element on desktop and mobile, which uses the secure Matrix federated (non-central, privacy focused) network for communications (text messages, voice and video calls and chat servers and "rooms" - somewhat similar to Discord, but without the Big Tech and privacy concerns). Take care everyone.

A simple question, Ive seen how proxmox can be used to run OSs side by side with pass through graphics for gaming or improving codec support but how can I select between these OSs on boot with preferably a graphics GUI with a custom icon would be nice. RFIED can it be used or does proxmox allow for it somehow already? The idea is to make my single desk PC into an OS powerhouse! Second Q, can I plug in a SSD with a clean install Windows and add it to proxmox as a boot option or must I VM/Install it?

You have the ability to become like Dave’s Garage. Keep it up! I like seeing more experienced people who were in the tech space do what they like with modern tech?

I enjoyed the video and the many apps you highlighted. There were probably 5 that I had never heard of. I use Libre Office all the time and tried to convert my wife from Microsoft Word, but she didn't want to learn Libre. I will look into DigiKam. In the past I used Vegas for video editing and I've tried Kdenlive a bit. I think I may be going to try DaVinci Resolve next. Something that has made the switch from Windows or Mac to Linux for me and some others is to use them together. You can move over a bit at a time and it makes switching less scary by setting up Linux on an older laptop or desktop (as you mentioned). For example, I started with email. I forced myself to do all my email on Linux. Next, I made myself use the Browsers on Linux. I no longer did these things on Windows. Doing it this way gave me a comfort factor and allowed me to keep the transition to Linux going. Thanks.

i like this channel

black screen is the best it has no bugs

I'm computer agnostic; they all suck, just in different ways. :-) You may want to talk a bit about why you are choosing Debian over other distributions, since the first thing the average person will trip over is the large number of options out there for linux. You aren't choosing the OS as much as you are choosing the philosophy of the way it's managed. Which package manager, which window manager, etc are all impacted by the choice of distribution and can be very confusing.

Good intro into your series! It sounds great. One small point I would make is to not use the term OS too much when talking about Operating Systems. People who are thinking about switching operating systems may not be attune to some of our jargon. Our industry is riddled with 2 , 3 and 4 letter jargon that can confuse folks. However, I think a series on why and how to switch to Linux is very needed and all people could benefit from knowing alternatives to Microsoft. Thanks!

I really appreciate this video. I'm working on my Linux knowledge in general and you seem to have a lot of knowledge/experience to share. Thank you for sharing it. I have a Proxmox server at home and I'm planning to do this kind of thing, but my full time job gets most of my time. At work, we may be moving away from VMWare because of Broadcom's actions so Proxmox or XCP-ng may be in my future. You did a great job of laying all this out and illustrating some of the gotchas. Thanks again.

@0:35 wtf!! mango, garlic, pepper- fermented? sAuce! .. +10 EP for the wisdom in recognizing the interesting bits. L00t@

Exactly what I needed, thanks for this!

Thanks so much, your explanation was very useful to solve this problem. I'm an Arch newbie so I wasn't aware of this...

Great video!. Always wondered what pipe in linux was as I saw it in many american TV-series, where some one sitting at a computer, said to someone else, "pipe" it over to me. I also never understood Grep, but I you showed me that too. Great, that you talk slowly. Please, make videos about all relevant Linux terminal commands.. I am comming from the windows/dos world. Bye from Denmark

😓 "PromoSM"

Do yourself, and your viewers a BIG favour: so ZFS (on UEFI) default installation and how nice ZFS is for snapshots especially when you've enabled compression... oh, as an added extra, you get replication nicely between proxmox nodes ;)

Why no RAID-Z1/2 and DRAID ? 0_o

Nice vid! OpenID is essentially authentication against a cloud-based identity provider using SAML over HTTPS. Like Microsoft Entra ID (Formerly Azure AD), Okta etc. Lots of orgs these days are transitioning to these from traditional on-prem directory services like LDAP, Open Directory, Active Directory etc for authentication and identity provision.

Best video I have found on specifically how Proxmox partitions by default.

Elysium (/ɪˈlɪzi.əm/, /ɪˈlɪʒəm/)

Hi RT - Thanks for the video. Right now I ran a file share and a few other things on an old Android Box which works quite well and is low cost. The low power doesn't allow Proxmox why I plan to get a more beefy server. What's your hardware which you use to run Proxmox? Any recommendations? BTW: keep up the channel - good way to teach some "old guys" like me to make use of current techie stuff

Hello! I've already gotten Proxmox with a virtual machine going on my own, but I never configured the updates for non-subscription like you do here. It looks like you had already set yours up when you went to it, because my default setup of only 3 files doesn't look like that. So I disabled both of the enterprise ones, but when I added the no-subscription repository, it automatically went under the first listed file rather than being in a 4th file like yours. I'm thinking you added that via command line since you mention a lot that you prefer that..? I know practically nothing about Linux, but I can follow directions well. Heh Is it necessary to have that 4th file, or does it not really matter? Thanks!

Webmin became good some time between win2k and xp era. That's when I used it. And I kinda feel nostalgia for NT 3.51...

All your concerns apply to ANY hypervisor, not just Proxmox.

Sorry, but a small Proxmox cluster with Proxmox Backup Server has unbeatable flexibility.

Eat Bulaga!... did they stick a mic in your face? It's been years since I've watched an episode, but recall they love to bring "foreigners" up on stage. Salamat po sa video... I'm preping for an install in the near future, so you're helping with my homework.

If the video was trying to drive traffic, it worked. However, I don't think it gets the point of a product like Proxmox. Of course setting up a bare metal server is going to be more efficient and if you're proficient with config files, and it might even be simpler. However Proxmox is a tool that covers way more than just that, it's meant to be able to not just spin up a network service but also be able to run as a high availability cluster, a hyper converged hypervisor (combining the hosting of virtual machines with various forms of storage). What I personally appreciate the most from Proxmox is it's phenomenal integration of ZFS into Linux and their flexibility with allowing me to mold the system into fitting a load of divertirse situations: lifting an old windows server from bare metal, allow for easy snapshotting, backup and replication, etcétera... I don't think the video is a total fail, but it probably would have been better showcasing some of the things it talked about, instead of it being like a PowerPoint presentation, however I realize that takes way more work...

I administrated a group of Windows NT 4.0 servers back in the 1990's. I'm an old timer too (54 years old now). I administrated a multi site server network. We had Domain controller, SQL 6.5/7.0 servers, Exchange server, etc. I worked mostly in the GUI but there was some command line stuff as well. There were some things we needed command line for but I mostly used the GUI. I love Proxmox and have 3 servers at home to tinker with and it's great. I love trying different Distros and even have a public web server I play around with often. Snapshots are an easy way to backup an entire server config data and all. I even virtualized my pfsense router using PCI pass-through. Cool enjoyed the discussion.

'nessassary'.....How innovative ways of spelling equal one giant fail! :)

Proxmox is nice and all, but... Why? Security? Can't find another reason. I never had a need to virtualize or container stuff, so why not run it natively? If you know Linux just a bit, you can set up everything manually and do not need VM, hypervisors, or containers. 20 years ago when homelabing was not yet a thing I was running an old passive Celeron 1000 on 900mhz as a headless box for years in the dorm. Years later back home OpenWrt on an Asus router with a USB hard drive did most of the stuff I needed. Arm dev board was a nice home server for a few years although rather expensive. When Rpi came out it was a slight upgrade, that worked fine until it died on me. The second one lasted a bit longer until I replaced it with Orangepi running Dietpi, when its SD card failed, I replaced it with a Ubuntu server running on a screenless i3 laptop motherboard. That was later replaced with the Athlon 200ge that I still used for the last 4 years. And always single OS was capable of running all the stuff I needed... No overhead for vm's... When boot ssd failed on me a few months ago I started to thinker with proxmox on athlon 320ge but my main server still runs just Ubuntu server but I ditched Samba, emby, and similar to just streaming from sftp. Server is ideling on 16W. Also toying with Casaos but it is not there yet. I just ordered an N100 ITX board to get that idle power down a bit.

I recently moved from proxmox after a few years, to just bare metal debian. I run most of my service in docker now and some on bare metal. Never really needed virtualization. Running a 9th gen i3 intel nook similar to yours with 32 gigs of ram. Never understood why I see all these youtubers with crazy servers. I pre transcode videos for plex on my desktop so I don't have to live transcode on my little server.
