I just started learning Linux and I wanted to say your videos are definitely one of the best ways to learn. It's like learning from a buddy as apposed to some corporate shlock. Your videos say what they need to and are easy to focus on. Thank you.

I agree this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm buying merch at the end just for support! Lol Though I'll rock those at the new position for sure.

Some of us need this basic stuff so thanks for providing it. You were very clear and understandable.

Depending on your working experience, usually when you work in big companies, you will get a company laptop with windows, and in order to connect to the servers and work on them you will be using an ssh terminal, most commonly, Putty. So understanding the command line and being able to do everything by command line is really helpful. Honestly, in 10 years working as a sysadmin, I think I've never seen a GUI for a linux/unix server. Just my five cents.

Hi Dave I finished watching the video, one word mate SUPERB I look forward to many more and hope you maintain your standards, many thanks you are a credit to education.

Loved this video and how he did a side by side with the folders and the terminal. Made it very easy to understand!

hey man you make awesome videos on linux but the major problems that put off first time linux users are : 1. No WIFI drivers on laptop 2. No graphics drivers for games 3. fan blowing at full speed and no temp control pr fan control, hence battery running down even at idle load. If you could do a video about taking care of basic drivers and temp/battery/fan management on laptops it would be super awesome.

I also had many of the issues you mention between 2000 and 2010, although I haven't come across them in a while. This channel is really about getting people ready for a career in Linux System Administration, rather than getting a laptop running for everyday users. That's why the focus is on VBox and the command-line right from the beginning - the servers you'll manage don't have GUIs. "Painfully searching for solutions on forums," as one person commented below, is a big part of the job. But they'll be paying you 6 figures to troubleshoot problems which you'll solve the same way as the ones you mentioned above -- so it's good practice :-).

Your first 5 minutes? More like "Useful information that really helps!" Thanks again for sharing all this.

Dave, I just ran across these tutorials, and wanted to thank you. I've tried, off-and-on, to learn Linux, and have learned quite a bit over the years. However, I always get bored learning from books, and videos are definitely the way to go, for me at least. I've just gotten started with your videos, but have jumped around, sampling some of your videos, and I can already tell this is what I'll finally stick with, and learn from the most. Presentation is everything, and your delivery, pace, and concise tutorials are second to none. Thanks again, and *Happy Thanksgiving (2019)!

Thanks for the video. I about died at the end when she called you out for not having accounts XD

Hi I have only watched the first 5 mins of this video and I have learned more than searching and watching umpteen other video for hours. You my friend are one excellent tutor/ teacher. I love the system you are using i.e. Gui/cli but you are doing it at a pace that numpties like me can follow. Most other videos I have tried to follow have text too small and lightning keystrokes most of us oldies and newbies just cannot keep up. There for many of us are disheartened. Once again many thanks and please do not change your teaching philosophy.

Hey Dave nice job man as I new user I appreciate you/them. To all of you people to just like to post negative BS about how he did or didn't make the tutorials to your specification please feel free to create your own series of videos other wise please sit back and have a tall glass of shut the hell up and leave your negative comments out of it. suggestions is one thing but just complaining to complain is not really needed or wanted I'm sure .

first video ive watched on linus. very helpful. subbed and thanks. im learning aws so im working on broad undstanding atm

I'm taking your dare.. started at the 1st episode.. I like the series so far. One of my favourite pieces of writing is Neil Stephenson's In the beginning was the command line..lol Thanks for doing this.

GUI = Graphic User Interface = Literally your desktop with a friendly background image and the "Start" button. Directory = In plain everyday english, it's a file or folder.

I wish I would have viewed this video before I had to learn about Linux. Thanks. 😁

great job Dave...I hope the best for you

Im a Windows sysadmin looking atthe linux ones jealously. Great starting point thank you !

This was very helpful, thank you.

Your video goes from installing Ubuntu to having zsh. I think that's probably a bit confusing for new users. Should've stayed on bash.

Thank you for your content its presented very well

It's kind of funny that since I didn't want to faff around with adding virtual 64 bit support to my windows box that I'm watching this on, I instead set up a clean install of linux on one of my laptops and then run SSH through putty with keypair authentication. ...And I still had no idea that the pwd command even existed, I always just used ls. Oh well, the more you know and all that... XD

One of the great tutors, cheers

i'm enjoying your videos right now . thank you for the content

One day I need to try and find out why everybody is always starting with 'pwd'. Since I retired my old C64 and got my first pc with DOS 3.3 I always had a prompt that told me where I was. I know, the prompt can be configured however you want to show you all the information you want, and if you don't want the prompt to show you the cwd, then it makes sense to know pwd. However, even the prompt in this video shows you where you are (~) and I would dare to say that's pretty much standard, so what's the point to start with pwd? I just think it would make more sense to start with 'ls' and explain what ' ~ ', ' . ', and ' .. ' mean. and then later maybe explain how the prompt can be configured and at that time introduce pwd if the prompt doesn't show you where you are.

Great video!! What is your opinion of using vagrant along with virtualbox to run Ubuntu?

Thats standard nowadays, that way you dont need to install apache, mysql, composer, etc that way you dont mess with your primary OS, you just ssh into the vagrant box and you have a whole OS to experiment and not only that, you also get a development environment, personally i use the vagrant install guide from the Laravel Homestead official page, that setup is really good for web development and sysadmin

8:13 dave@mylinuxmachine, dave is your user name & is mylinuxmachine your computer name? or super root what ever you call it ? because i would like to change that part of setup, what must i do ?

Excellent video, question though? When attempting to go back up the root (cd ..) can you just not enter cd? It brings you back up right?

@tutoriaLinux

+Polymath 'cd' (without any arguments) brings you to your current user's home directory. It's the same as saying 'cd ~' or 'cd /home/yourusername'. To get to root, you can just say 'cd /' or keep typing 'cd ..' (the .. is that shortcut for 'up one directory'). Just experiment around and this stuff will become intuitive. Hope that helps!

As in the whole VM freezes up including the spinning loading cursor Icon. I have tried GTS troubleshooting methods however nothing seems to be working.

Hey, keep watching and you'll get answers to all those questions -- or just play around in a terminal! :-D 1. Finding your home directory: typing '~' evaluates to "the current user's home directory." So 'cd ~' means "go home, as the user that I'm running this command as." 2. Exiting the root directory: cd /wherever/you/want/to/go/ 3. Getting into the root directory: cd / 4. Getting into the root user's home: cd /root/

Yes, most programming languages have a similar environment, generally called a REPL (read-eval-print loop). We're using bash here, but e.g. in Python you can get there by typing 'python' on the command line, for Ruby it's 'irb', etc. These things are all similar in that text is broken down into valid statements and evaluated, before having some resulting state printed (possibly with side effects).

I began on DOS. How close are Linux commands to DOS? I noticed that CD.. was the same. LST for Linux is DIR for DOS. Getting familiar with command line for me is essential because I want to be able to install Linux on any hardware and distributions often tend to be complicated and not work. I can then build my distribution up to the GUI level as I'm getting drivers to work and it won't be bloated with unnecessary software. I'm constantly re-purposing and trying to avoid throwing away parts.

Depending on whether or not you have sudo installed, putting 'sudo' before your command will execute it as root. E.g. 'sudo bash.'
