  • definetly keep these coming, but maybe slow down just a tiny bit, i mean if the video is a minute or two longer, but is easier for newbies to understand, its well worth it.

  • it doesn't really make things easier and only a little bit quicker for certain tasks

    the main reason to learn to command line is linux vendors and in fact microsoft/apple don't creat a GUI for everything that the average user may want - they heavily underestimate us

  • jk, i just want attention,

    i use ubuntu

    i dont know much but im trying

    f-windows f-copy rights

  • Hints and tips are always good, even for experienced users it's great to see how other people do things. It might be nice to see a series of tutorials aimed at getting novice users out of trouble during a tricky install (I know that's a lot less common these days than it used to be), as some well chosen examples of troubleshooting techniques (that basic command line skills can only help with BTW) for known issues could be very handy in the early days.

  • the whole open source idea is overrated, no one will ever want to make humanity a greater more organized , sophisticated tech-advanced society

    the whole concept of giving away free operating system is diluted no one will ever trust any anyone for free

    after all you're just a group of people who write drivers

  • I've been using Linux since 2004... and I didnt know the man -k command... wow just shows how many tricks I still got to get under my sleeve. More vids like this please!

  • Thank you, that's actually great to hear. I wasn't sure if people would roll their eyes at the idea of some basic commandline tutorials or not.

    So really, I appreciate the comment. :)

  • Thank you!

  • More please :D

  • Great video and good tips!
