"Linux with Anthony" has finally begun.

"Linux with Anthony" Believe me there will be a huge increase in Linux users.

It's funny: the thing that finally motivated me to give Linux a try was exactly the compatibility issues: I wanted a machine where I couldn't get distracted by gaming.

Dude, you're an incredible guide into the world of Linux. You found exactly what you were meant to do.

LTT should make a Linux channel with Anthony as the host just like their Mac channel

Here’s hoping this is the beginning of a full on “Linux with Anthony” series…

0:01 You used a door as a metaphor for Windows and I love it.

Wonderful video Anthoney, I am now using pop OS on 2 old devices, bringing life back into them! Getting into Linux and the modding community now, and this is a great helpful starting video!! Love this guys keep it up!

"Linux with Anthony" Make it happen Linus, I'd gladly watch a series with that.

We are one step closer to getting the "Learning Linux with Anthony" series!

The thing is, that back in 2010, Linux really couldn't (realistically) be used as a daily driver for many people. Most times using Linux required (at least) some basic understanding of terminal and the system. However, I installed Ubuntu (not my favorite) on my dad's computer (he isn't really a computer guy) over 3 years ago, after windows 10 failed to keep running. Somehow that laptop is still kicking. Only had to help him once. Sure Linux _can_ be a hassle. But not as much as one would think. I've used PopOS for over a year now and it's one of the most versatile OS's I've ran so far and surpasses my expectations as far as usability and versatility. Especially running closed source and or windows applications. Linux was a difficult choice at first, but recently has risen to be a force to be reckoned with. Especially with the money Steam has poured into its gaming functionality.

well done Anthony - been using Ubuntu for a couple years now, but still managed to learn a couple new tricks thanks to your video. Thank you :)

Anthony: I am not the Messiah! Linux users: He is the Messiah!

The whole comments section is full of _More Linux content! More Linux content!_ and I agree! Make it happen!

Thank you Anthony for spreading the word of linux

I'm already very comfortable installing Linux, but yes, I will listen to Anthony teach me how for 15 minutes. Thank you UKposts.

when somebody usually says, "trust me" i take it as a red flag, unless it's Anthony, you can always trust Anthony.

Anthony I was just watching this out of curiosity and that nvfbc patch is what I've been looking for for months. Thanks man!

Dude! I love the intro! Omg! Totally subscribing and hitting the bell. Plus, very good walk through. I really feel like I've learned. Totally passing this channel around.

Thanks for the shoutout! +1 to a dedicated "Linux with Anthony" show. 10000% agree.

We need more of Anthony's Linux tech tips.

Outstanding presentation! Simple, with great perspective. Thank you.

This dude is good. He makes all of this even approachable for less tech savvy people like myself. Well done mate! 👏👏

After this, I feel confident enough to give Linux a go.

A Linux playlist starring Anthony would definitely be really well received here, and I think, could contribute to a better understanding of it's working in general by a significant number of people!

It's cool to see gaming in Linux is improving. I started using Linux back when the first thing you had to do was recompile the kernel before you could get a GUI working... It really wasn't that hard even then. That was like 20 years ago and things have gotten easier every year since. Back then it was KDE and QT as I remember. My first Linux box I configured as an IPChains firewall for my home network - that took a bit of work. :)

It's been almost a year since I ditched Windows 11 on 3 laptops I inherited, and switched to Linux. I have been distro hopping, and Debian 12 with Gnome 43.3 is my perfect fit. The best tool for anyone is the tool they use, not the tool they dread. I thank you for your videos which have been HUGE in helping me with that transition to Linux.

Thank you for letting Anthony loose. Next do vim!

Please, by the gods, get Anthony on more Linux content.

Four days ago my laptops' HDD broke, luckily I had my old HDD from my PS4. I used to run Win10 on the laptop but I HATED it, so I wanted to go back to Win7 as I like it more. But then I realised I'd to go to sketchy websites to download cracked version of Win7 etc etc etc. I remember my uncle (he introduced me to RPi's as well) mentioned something about Linux OSs, so I followed this tutorial and installed POP just to try it out. So far its a lot like the RPI OS so I am already comfortable with it. I'll most likely move on to the advanced Linux OSs, but we'll see. Thanks for the video!

Anthony is very funny and straightforward. Thanks to this video, I'm now running on Linux. Also, it would amazing a tutorial on how to make your camera work as a webcam for streaming videos. I've tried using Gphoto2, but I've got some errors and I can't understand how to overcome them.

Anthony is single handedly going to materially improve Linux' adoption rate on the desktop.

Let's get a Linux from Scratch series with Anthony, he is so good at explaining everything!

Why am i watching this? I am currently running Arch and there is nothing to gain from this for me except of course Anthonys great personality.

The biggest problem with the idea of "just try it" is the fact that those of us who work for a living don't have the extra time to do that. Or the extra hardware to use to not mess up our work machine. (I will admit that for me it is mostly the time factor).

A "Linux with Anthony" sub-channel is definitely needed!!

“Congratulations it’s a penguin” - put a smile on my face :)

oh Anthony ilu, ur such a sweetheart explaining all this linux setup in the most accessible way I've seen in video format. and i agree! more ppl should at least give it a try!

Excellent video Anthony! Heading inside to clear a drive right now and follow your instructions. This is going to be AWESOME!

Anthony: Trust me Me: I trust you more than Bill Gates

Just give a linux oriented channel to Anthony. He deserves it.

I have been using Linux for about a year now, and I am loving it! All thanks to you guys!

Favorite detail about this video is since the release of the Steam Deck, Apex Legends now works on Linux because they added proton support to their anticheat to get the game Steam Deck verified.

PLEASE make a series where Anthony just explains everything about linux step by step, to make it as easy as possible to transition for lifelong Windows users!

when linus give out tech tips instead of showing things you cant buy

Thank you for the tutorial on how to get NvFBC recordings working! it works great now, i could barely play when recording but now it works flawlessly and the recordings look awesome.

I used this video to put Pop os on three laptops already. I’ve started introducing it to other people in my friends and family circle. This video is super helpful and I love it.

anthony has a chill personality def want more vids of him being featured.

converted to linux a few years ago and steam has made it nearly idiot proof with proton.

Found this channel yesterday. Excellent content. Thank you guys for making this channel

Always love to see you, Anthony. Even for things we are already familiar with. But your presentation makes it feels...fresh? Anyway, it's good.

QUICK TIP as this was not mentioned. Using the demo mode (flashed to an external hard drive) you can retrieve files off other drives if windows decides to crap itself (as long as they aren't corrupt as well). I've also had success recovering files off of a dying drive that wouldn't even show in windows with this method, albeit not more than around 100mb at a time so films and large files didn't make it.

And when you thought you couldn´t love Anthony more, here he comes.

I first switched to Linux when in an update Windows decided that I don't need my Bluetooth drivers. That was 3 years ago. I first installed dual boot just to watch movies with my Bluetooth headphones. After 3 years, "I'm using Arch btw" right now. I fckn love Linux, I love using terminal and writing scripts. I used to only play games with my computer, now I do much, much more. I didn't just breathe new life into my PCs, it also changed my view to technology itself.

I have had two Windows 11 devices so far. 1: My personal desktop that I finished building a month ago. In this case, Windows 11 told me that I NEEDED to have internet to setup windows 11. The issue? I had no drivers installed so I physically couldn't have internet, AND I couldn't install the drivers because windows 11 wouldn't finish setup without Internet. After a few hours of online searching, it turns out there actually is a "continue without internet" button, but it is so cryptically hidden it beggars belief (Hint, you need command prompt). If that new build was my only way of getting online to find the solution, I would never in a million years figured that out. 2: My Work issued laptop. My work Issued me this laptop with windows 11 mostly set up, but I needed to finish the set up. Overall it went pretty smooth until all my files downloaded from the cloud and I now had more Icons than could fit on my screen. I legitimately had Icons covering icons covering icons on my desktop (I like minimalist desktops, but for work, quick access to information via shortcuts is crucial) No, the issue wasn't that I had too many Icons (normally the desktop wasn't even half full), the issue was the spacing between the icons was now 3X the size of the icon itself. Now, I cannot stress this enough, it. took. me. HOURS. of fiddling with every setting windows 11 offers, deinstalling and reinstalling any and all drivers, and delving into the deep recesses of my mind to try and figure out how to set the icons back to an acceptable spacing. Finally I found one answer online that worked. Regedit. !#%#ING REGEDIT. I had to make a REGISTRY EDIT to fix my icons. Apparently there is an icon spacing setting in the registry where you can set the spacing of icons. I edited that value to be 1/3 of what it was before, rebooted windows and BOOM, fixed. Why in fiery hell that couldn't have been some kind of option is so far and away beyond me that it is unfathomable. Every. single. thing. on this OS is just harder for entirely no reason. It continuously fails at tasks that were once simple because some setting was removed, or some design was "Simplified" and gives you no easy solution to its self imposed problem. I just learned today that Steam now allows you run Windows games on Linux. That was my last reason to stay on windows.

Now this truly is Linux Tech Tips

When will Anthony's Tux Tips come into existence?

Man this video was really usefull and it convinced me to change to Pop s. Thaks Anthony

Love you, Anthony! Thank you for this video, it helped me before, and will help again! :D

The demand for Linux Tech Tips can’t be ignored any longer! We want Anthony to teach the world how to use the terminal in his clear and charismatic manner.

Petition to make a Linux Tech Tips channel with Anthony hosting it

Im still surprised that Emily managed to convince Linus to make soo much Linux content.

There's no issue with trying new distros as well! If you're liking Linux and want to try some new things, there's nothing wrong with throwing together a VM and tossing a Linux image into it. While it won't perform the same as bare-metal, you can get a general idea for how the distro works and looks. Likewise, there's nothing wrong about sticking with a distro you love. However, if you want to be adventurous I'd recommend checking out more distros outside the comfort zone of Debian-based. Manjaro was a great dive into Arch-based, and Garuda Linux has been pretty fun as well. (Garuda is an "as-is" distro though, so make sure you grab the right Desktop Environment before you install!)

"Linux with Anthony" just helping the cause, i wanna learn linux stuff to feel smarter too

Next channel on the horizon: Linux Tech Tips starring Anthony Young 🥳

this video was my turning point to linux, now a happy debian with kde plasma user.

THANK YOU! Ever since Windows 8.0 I have been wanting to build a Linux workstation. This tutorial made it so easy, that I have finally done it.

If Mac can have a seperate channel, why not Linux? I need Anthony on that one. Please

So everyone who buys a Steam Deck can say "I use Arch btw"

I just installed Pop!_OS on my backup PC which is much older and weaker than my main rig, and there was definitely a huge difference in performance from Windows 10, since it doesn’t have all of that ads, bloat, nor any resource hogging that makes everything so crap and slow. It’s also way cleaner and aesthetic. I prob wouldn’t have installed Linux if Anthony wasn’t there to convince me to, really like how chill and convincing he is. EDIT: Now I'm using Linux on my main PC! Tried Linux Mint, but didn't live up to what I loved about Pop!_OS. Really loving and enjoying Pop!_OS, even with gaming! Huge thanks to Anthony for being the man to tell us about it!

Thanks Anthony! That was really helpful. I ended up doing a dual boot of Pop on my Predator Helios 300 from 2018. Works great so far. It took a while, since I had to first get windows 10 and 11 working (I was in the insider version developers, and I wanted out of the unstable relationship). This setup is awesome because since my main storage partition is NTFS Pop just lets me use it as another folder. Pretty cool. so I have 300gb dedicated to Pop, and about 600 shared between them and my windows build on my SSD. This may change though. I'm seriously thinking of ditching windows in favor of Pop... at least... on my SSD. There are still some apps I need on windows, but GIMP does a pretty good job of photo editing small things. Thanks again!

Anthony's Linux series when? - tutorials on how to use and install common or tricky software for linux plz - or how to make it like a more efficent/faster windows like user experience

Anthony Teaches Madison linux, needs to happen. i want that chaotic energy in my life

This was such a well made video. Great job!

using live usbs is also a great way to know if the distro is a good fit for you. Since most Linux distros are open and free, when you boot up from the usb, it boots up the distro, in the same way it'd boot up when installed to your ssd/sdd. In other words, you don't have to install a distro to your HDD or SSD in order to be able to test it. Although you have limited space to install stuff (since it will be installed to your usb drive, not the hdd/sdd), you can still do most of what you'd do on your desktop.

Man, I love how Anthony explains everything. And not only that, but also that they did a step by step guide for absolutely new users for Linux. Big respect for that!

As the release manager of NixOS, I've never been so insulted by being labeled hardmode. But yes, you're correct :)

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you, Anthony!

Honestly, I’m just trying this out for fun but if it shaves a few years off my 11 year old computer then it’s a bonus. Thanks for the helpful walkthrough!

we need more of these linux videos

just adding my voice to the chorus of "more anthony and linux!"

"Faster and easier if you know what you're doing" that last part of the sentence is the operative phrase; "...if you know what you're doing" is the hard bit for those with no or very limited training/education around software, especially from the propietary user world. Great explanations that are definitely worth investigating, Im actively avoiding Windoze 11 and further uploads from the MS control freaks. Thanks!

This is apparently my second time watching this video. Installing linux today! Thanks for the help.

Y’all have a Mac channel with Jonathan, we need a Linux channel with Anthony now 😁🤣

The step where he chooses "Clean Install" ERASES your entire hard drive. The WHOLE thing. Do not overlook this or you will lose both Windows and your personal files even if they are on a separate partition of that drive!

LTT You guys awesome. I would love to see an update on one of your Linux videos (Trying to do Simple Tasks on Linux lol - Daily Driver Challenge Pt.3) including Steam OS and/or your recommendations on Linux distros. I feel it would be a huge impact on people such as myself that has always wanted to completely shift to linux and gaming has been the only reason to stop me. Let's make Linux the gaming go to OS.

I installed the KDE version of Ubuntu. I don't tend to play games, but use it for CAD, 3d printing and laser cutting/engraving. My software list is: Inkscape, FreeCAD, MeerK40t. I also run office as a PWA as well as Outlook. Everything works fine. It is so much better now than it was 20 years back when you had to type 'startx' just to get a GUI rather than it being all text.

Anthony is like a mormon knocking on your door to talk to you about our lord and savior linus Torvalds, and I love it

The statement of the century: Congratulations, it's a penguin!

I used an ancient laptop running Ubuntu throughout my entire CS bachelor and installed Pop! on my first PC build about 2 years ago, which I frequently game on, and I have never regretted it!

When I first started using Linux I didn't make that many mistakes. Reason being that I had more than one community of people to help me, and several websites I could go to where I can get help. My number one favorite Linux distribution was Black Lab Linux Lxde. Unfortunately that distribution is discontinued. I was extremely impressed with Manjaro Lxde, and Ghost BSD Mate, and Bodhi Linux Moksha. I don't think I can ever have as much fun with Windows as what I do with Linux. You would be surprised how many games are in the repository that are actually worth playing! For example Minetest, 0ad, FreedroidRPG and JAG.

High five from a veteran Linux user! I liked that last part the most when Anthony said that "at least give it a try". That's the right way to pitch Linux without being preachy. Kudos!

Omg. It's finally here! It's been 84 years since we've been asking for this. Please continue doing linux content, Anthony!

anthonys vids made me feel confident enough to switch to arch. been over a week and ive had zero problems so far asides from mic quality, which has to do with my outdated soundcard.

i've been looking for a windows alt for a long time (ever since the horrors of vista RIP to me). i first switched to apple, but then the issues with battery life on my literal second macbook and lack of gaming sent me back to windows and i figured i was going to suffer. but i've recently been delving into linux research and am going to partition my laptop TONIGHT to have a linux boot on that in addition to the windows one i need to keep in case i need to do work at home.

fuck it, this is the push I needed. Putting popOS on my old laptop.

a new channel entirely dedicated to Anthony teaching Linux is something I'd throw money at.

My Linux OS of choice has been Lubuntu for the past twelve years. I love how its low system requirements make it easy to run on older hardware. My two previous laptops were replaced ONLY because of hardware failure instead of software obsolescence.

You should've mentioned Debian - it's extremely stable and I would recommend either that, Ubuntu or Mint for most people.

I popped a clean ssd in my laptop and installed PopOS. Writing this from my Linux machine now :) Thank you Anthony!
