1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,560
anything is easy if you know exactly what you're doing but by the same token

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:11,519
anything can be difficult or even impossible if you lack the requisite

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,679
skills resources or knowledge that's the

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:17,440
basic premise of this video where Linus and i now three weeks into daily driving

5
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:22,960
some form of Linux on our personal gaming machines we'll change the gears

6
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:24,960
and attempt to complete 12 simple tasks

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,480
simple as long as we've actually been doing our homework to familiarize

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,760
ourselves with our Linux desktop environments

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,680
here we go thanks to nzxt for sponsoring today's

10
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,320
video nzxt wants to make building a custom pc easier with nzxt build just

11
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:43,920
set a budget see how the computer performs with your favorite games and

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:48,480
build takes care of the rest use the link down below to get your own custom

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,480
pc today

14
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:01,920
while the main idea behind the Linux daily driver challenge is to evaluate

15
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,600
the Linux experience from a gamer's perspective even the most ardent gamer

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:10,159
will occasionally want to do other things on their pc like print out a

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,960
document or watch a video and those things need to not only be possible but

18
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:19,040
also fast and painless enough that they aren't immediately prompted to run back

19
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:24,400
to Windows so with that in mind we've set a time limit for each of our tasks

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,720
of 15 minutes compared to gaming basic

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,079
office work is much more mature on Linux and for anything that's not

22
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,920
straightforward there's a good chance that you can find a web app to fill the

23
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:39,200
gap these days everything from word processing to basic video editing or

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,479
even creating 3d mockups can all be done

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,399
in a browser and often for free in preparation for

26
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,720
this part of the challenge i practiced using play on Linux by installing

27
00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:51,439
notepad plus plus and i hope that if i really need some other Windows

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,880
application that's going to come in handy for me if it doesn't i also have a working

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,799
Windows 10 virtual machine that i set up using kvm but

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:06,479
luke and i agreed ahead of time that using a vm that's running paid non-open

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,560
source software kind of violates the spirit of the challenge here even if it

32
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,920
is technically within bounds so there's going to be a half point deduction for

33
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:18,319
using that workaround i didn't install a vm or do any other form of special prep

34
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:22,239
but because i'm work from home most days i've been doing a lot of everyday stuff

35
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:26,000
on my machine already and i'm expecting this to be pretty straightforward

36
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:32,319
here are the challenges you must surmount in whatever order you please

37
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:34,080
cut and paste a file from one drive oh

38
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,800
man i was expecting them to come up with some stuff that's really challenging so

39
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,040
just like in Windows control x

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:46,480
and i will paste it to my kingston thumb drive

41
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,959
it is done 3.9 gigs playing it back

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:58,319
yes i do appreciate the irony of trying to play success.mkv and having it

43
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:02,959
just be a black screen i'm going to cut this

44
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,879
and i'm going to paste this

45
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,519
done okay step one complete i mean i really didn't

46
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:15,280
consider that this might take me longer than like a couple of

47
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:19,120
seconds just like it doesn't take longer than a

48
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:23,440
couple of seconds to go to lttstore.com check out our great merch this is really

49
00:03:21,519 --> 00:03:27,680
annoying macOS does this too there's no refresh button in dolphin

50
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,280
so you can't you can't force it to refresh and i i know what the philosophy

51
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,000
is the philosophy is you're not supposed to need to refresh well sometimes i do

52
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,920
so you need to have the button sorry it's just i'm still angry about

53
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:44,239
this from like seven or eight years ago or whenever i did my macOS daily driver

54
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:47,760
challenge vlc is not even opening anymore

55
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,560
now i'm kind of afraid to touch anything nautilus reports a completely different

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,799
stuff okay

57
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,519
the file is here and for some reason

58
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:04,319
vlc launches now did it just take that long to cancel the move operation it did

59
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,879
i am grabbing a smaller file

60
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:13,040
trying to install teamviewer.txt

61
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:17,680
i'm cutting and i'm pasting it

62
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:22,880
success challenge two digitally signed this pdf

63
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,400
i have not specifically installed any kind of pdf reader so this is the

64
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:31,360
default digitally sign

65
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:36,160
oh this is looking promising oh draw a rectangle to indicate the signature

66
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,880
field okay do

67
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,240
a signature this size is too small to read

68
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,440
no i'm just going gonna sign it there are no available signing certificates

69
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,120
okay man i thought i was gonna be done this in like one minute

70
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,000
how to sign i'm assuming i'm not gonna be able to

71
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:59,680
sign it because i'm assuming this is just a reader

72
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,120
uh is there something on here document viewer

73
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:08,320
i know what i use on Windows for this is is sedged

74
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:12,560
okay sejda i'm gonna i'm gonna download sejda just in case this pdf mod

75
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:15,840
thing doesn't work okay this is what i use on Windows so

76
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:20,000
let's let's give this a shot

77
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:23,240
sign new signature

78
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:30,810
save um let me just verify that that worked

79
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:39,840
let's get out of here i don't need pdf mod pdf to sign signed

80
00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:40,960
done now gyro ad pkcs

81
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:46,400
signing certificate oh you can get free trusted certificates

82
00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:53,840
from the let's encrypt oh or we can use the mk cert tool

83
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:57,280
come on yes yes i know andy

84
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:03,360
oh blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

85
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,360
blah what commands

86
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:08,880
all right it's clear that this is a thing

87
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:13,039
that you can do and it's something that i could figure out if i had another

88
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:18,720
half an hour an hour but unfortunately it's not

89
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,639
something that is quick or easy

90
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,680
i guess i get zero points i should have bailed a couple of minutes ago and

91
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:29,360
switched over to my vm i failed challenge number two

92
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,720
export a chart from v excel

93
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,639
right click save as picture

94
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:39,120
an excel file this has got to be the chart we're

95
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,720
trying to right click export as image

96
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,479
did that work i've never done this before i wasn't even fully aware that

97
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:50,160
was a thing uh looks like it worked it has a

98
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:54,319
transparent background but uh it doesn't matter i don't think so this black

99
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:58,000
background is not the color of the cells the black

100
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:03,039
background is just an image

101
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,520
oh yes here we go here we go here we go okay

102
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:10,880
you just have to find exactly the right spot export as image hey

103
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:13,919
why is the name system volume information

104
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:19,360
okay why did it default to system volume information okay yes okay i needed a w

105
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:24,160
here and i i got it it's not quite right you can see it's

106
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:30,319
actually missing the borders on the right and bottom but everything else

107
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,960
here looks fine calling that a w add a

108
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:36,319
new font um i'm assuming this is just dragging it

109
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,280
into the fonts folder so just do this

110
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:44,639
nope i thought it was going to be as easy

111
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,199
as just dragging it into this folder to be honest

112
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,120
or use your share fonts true type there we go

113
00:07:55,759 --> 00:08:01,360
i'm going to put a font in here

114
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,400
mission denied okay so open as root

115
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:13,319
done now if i load this again

116
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:19,039
i don't see it i'm just gonna copy it to my downloads

117
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:25,199
folder um what just happened did that just copy to

118
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:30,160
the why would it do that i drag this onto a folder

119
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,000
but because arc is some completely separate application

120
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:38,800
that doesn't integrate properly with dolphin it just goes it just dumps it into the

121
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,240
folder instead of specifically on the folder i'm dragging it to so i have to

122
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:46,560
open this folder then copy it

123
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:50,399
i can open night zone with

124
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,880
sorry what is this k font view oh install

125
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:57,120
do you want to install the fonts for personal use systemwide systemwide

126
00:08:55,519 --> 00:09:01,760
yes i'm going to change my user interface

127
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,720
to it all right

128
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,480
i did not think this one was going to be difficult i don't know how much time i have actually i wasn't even paying

129
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,959
attention because i thought i was just going to blow through it so it can just go directly into fonts so

130
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:20,880
it could go directly into there i don't know i'm just going to put things

131
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,880
everywhere is it actually called a font

132
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:27,839
is it called night zone have i been done this whole time

133
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:36,640
okay i got it right i just didn't realize it was called night zone thanks

134
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:46,720
james oh my god okay sweet sick print the word doc

135
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:48,959
okay here's my word document file

136
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:54,560
print yeah theoretically i i haven't done any

137
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,920
setup for a printer um but this looks like a printer

138
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,399
so let's do it

139
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:06,240
okay a word document is printing um i'll be back

140
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:09,920
that's in my girlfriend's office we'll see what's gonna happen

141
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:20,240
that was probably the easiest and best printing experience

142
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:22,000
i've uh pretty much ever had i didn't i

143
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:27,519
didn't detect that printer i didn't install that printer i didn't do anything i know

144
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:31,279
from previously using mint i've seen the pop-up in the top right hand corner come

145
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:36,000
up being like this printer has connected um but i never did anything for it and

146
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,839
yeah printers

147
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:42,160
okay hold on what was that printer hp device manager

148
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,839
what is this do i even have an hp printer it's a samsung

149
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,839
that's going to be

150
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:56,480
are you kidding me there it is

151
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,440
samsung clp 310 series okay

152
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:03,680
that was wait oh it found a driver this printer is actually a pain in the ass to

153
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:08,720
get working on Windows because i think the last time it got a driver was either

154
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,959
vista or Windows 7. i actually have it

155
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,640
saved to a folder on my server because there's no other place that i can find

156
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:19,760
it or i can but it's a real chore you have to like extract it from some other

157
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:24,800
thing like it's a very giant pain in the butt um this just

158
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:29,279
worked as far as i can tell but until i actually see the page i'm not ready

159
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,760
to believe it we're connecting printer waiting for printer let's go andy let's

160
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:38,240
go andy the lights flashing it's flashing come on clp

161
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:47,600
i was gonna say i've never been so happy to see uh a page printed out of a

162
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:51,600
printer but actually getting something to print is one of

163
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:55,120
those things that pretty much every time you need to do it it's like

164
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,079
kind of urgent and kind of a pain in the ass so no no i've been through this a

165
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,360
lot success ah

166
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:08,720
challenge number six compress and send all the files on this drive

167
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:14,880
okay um compress

168
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:16,800
here as dot zip why is it dot zip dot u

169
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,680
q j q f u well that brings up

170
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:25,560
nothing why would it put that there goodbye

171
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:35,120
fail to open archive not a zip archive

172
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,120
it's a uqj qfu

173
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:42,959
nope it just is broken perfect i'm going to compress

174
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,760
to a zip right here create

175
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,519
let's uh let's check top

176
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:55,040
i'm going to make sure things are happening

177
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,839
7-zip is attempting to use 100 of my CPU

178
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:02,240
so things are happening holy crap andy you know what

179
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:07,200
i think i just fell for the same thing that i said i wouldn't fall for again

180
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:10,560
compress here as dot zip it was doing it down here

181
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:16,160
and i didn't notice so i guess the

182
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,639
the six characters or whatever here

183
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:22,399
is just random gibberish while it's a temporary file i should change this font

184
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:28,880
back says i like it let's do it oh dscu comic

185
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:33,040
there we go are these files going to compress at some point dolphin you're

186
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,480
embarrassing yourself okay let's try and do it in i forget what this one is

187
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,160
called it doesn't matter archive name at least it prompts me for

188
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:44,079
what i want to call it i don't see any kind of progress indicator

189
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,360
are you kidding me am i going to fail to zip a file

190
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,800
this is not uploading i was kind of hoping that i was going to

191
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,199
be able to do every single task in under 15 minutes

192
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,199
um the fonts task really slowed me down

193
00:13:55,519 --> 00:14:02,399
because i didn't realize the font wasn't called a font uh and then this one is

194
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:05,920
slowing me down because it just took a long time to compress and now it's

195
00:14:03,839 --> 00:14:09,760
taking a long time to upload but other than that these have all been

196
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:13,760
very easy so far and this one is clearly stalled

197
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:18,560
hold on maybe pzip's got me still hold on so this is this is all the stuff

198
00:14:16,959 --> 00:14:23,760
okay copy then i can go into downloads

199
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,560
zip folder yes this is the workaround

200
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:34,320
oh my god 10 minutes remaining to copy these files

201
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,839
this is another thing that i definitely can do it just

202
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,399
had some issues wait wait

203
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,920
no i'm good i'm good the the first one i did in

204
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:49,760
dolphin it's done i think nice wait

205
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:55,040
no i didn't get the point i'm supposed to send them maybe i can

206
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:58,399
weasel my way out of this a little yellow what do you mean by compress and

207
00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:07,120
send it email it or something well i mean there's a three Gigabyte file in it

208
00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:07,120
so emailing it's not really practical

209
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:15,680
oh well i mean i already zipped the whole thing including the video because okay

210
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,800
i'm giving myself the points i could i could have emailed this to someone i

211
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:22,399
think that's fine okay all right

212
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:28,560
okay well i can i can do other tasks while i'm waiting yeah let's do that

213
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:30,959
okay so take a screenshot screenshot i

214
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:35,600
can do whole screen i can do current window i can do area to grab i'm going

215
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,399
to do area to grab and i'm going to screenshot

216
00:15:38,839 --> 00:15:44,079
this bang it just shows up right here i'm gonna

217
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:49,040
throw it in the Linux challenge folder and there it is

218
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:51,519
there's a screenshot i'm gonna wait for

219
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:54,800
make a shortcut i didn't read this line before i started this i don't have a

220
00:15:52,880 --> 00:16:00,720
network share set up discord app to open on startup

221
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:05,240
there's probably a startup applications add one choose application

222
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:11,199
discord that application done this skirt's on

223
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:15,759
startup now watch 4k content i'm assuming that's

224
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,680
this the uh video google unveiled the pixel 6 and 6 pro

225
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,880
today but we already knew everything about it to be good at everything okay well i guess

226
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,519
i did that this is done

227
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:33,759
that just got finished insert files using drive

228
00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:36,759
Linux challenge okay

229
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,800
one person view send got it

230
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:49,040
this is really cool if i search for a snipping tool it actually is like haha we don't have

231
00:16:46,399 --> 00:16:53,120
that but we do have spectacle which is a pretty cool little screen shotting tool

232
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:56,079
so you just click take a new screenshot and then you can

233
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:03,360
drag a little thing press enter cool

234
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:03,360
i did it

235
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,199
now i have to make a shortcut oh man i got this too no you can't right click it

236
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:12,799
to where you want it and make a shortcut so no i will

237
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:17,360
find another way to do that link to file or directory yes this is a much better

238
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:22,000
way of doing this haha name for new link okay can i copy the location

239
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:24,400
yes i can haha

240
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:31,679
hey done i've like never made shortcuts

241
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:36,960
i don't make shortcuts in Windows either i can hold the shift and control keys

242
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:42,400
highlighting and dragging a file or folder okay it seems a little weird but

243
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,640
let's make a shortcut of a video

244
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:55,919
that looks like it's a shortcut

245
00:17:53,440 --> 00:18:01,600
yeah it's a it's a link it's a shortcut nice connect to a network share this is

246
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:05,919
actually crazy easy because while i am using samba on my Linux

247
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:14,440
nas it's a Linux nas so

248
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,440
yeah so network shared folders smba

249
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:23,039
oh does it want me to like map a network share i mean that's not really necessary

250
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,559
i can just add a shortcut to this right here see

251
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:34,160
i'm going to call that good enough so now every time i open up dolphin

252
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:34,960
i just click Linus and it will go to my

253
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,480
share just like that

254
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:48,400
i have received confirmation from james i don't have any network attached

255
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,480
storage devices at my home right now so

256
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:54,799
he said it is okay if i set up a folder

257
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:59,200
for sharing i'm gonna go into property oh sharing options let's try that

258
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:05,120
samba needs to be installed appropriate firewalls let's do this this is the first one

259
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:10,799
where i haven't done anything with this at all yet i've used samba but it was 10

260
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,720
years ago share this folder is on

261
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:18,160
allow others to create and delete files in this folder and let's do guest access

262
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,679
as well add the permissions automatically

263
00:19:20,799 --> 00:19:26,960
cool it is now a network share you can see

264
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:31,760
a little thingamajig there i think that's it so in the end that took me

265
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,200
less than 40 minutes in total uh the majority of that time was waiting for a

266
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:40,400
file to compress waiting for a file to upload waiting for a response from the

267
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,320
taskmaster himself etc not doing the

268
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:47,679
actual tasks i think that would have taken me a very similar amount of time

269
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:50,000
in Windows actually the print of file

270
00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:55,360
portion probably went better than it would have on Windows

271
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,520
to be completely honest so yeah overall

272
00:19:55,360 --> 00:20:02,559
no problem really easy compressing and files failed copying

273
00:19:59,919 --> 00:20:07,679
failed yeah thanks a lot dolphin you suck

274
00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:08,960
set up discord app to open

275
00:20:07,679 --> 00:20:14,960
on startup i think it might just do that by default

276
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:21,679
the first thing i'm going to do then is just test that i'm feeling good andy

277
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,720
i got this

278
00:20:21,679 --> 00:20:27,600
hey okay apparently i had already configured this

279
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,880
so another point for Linus

280
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,480
watch 4k content avideo.mp4

281
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:42,799
where'd it go hello wait it goes black in full screen

282
00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:44,480
that's a nice feature

283
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:50,320
why i grabbed mpv media player the

284
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:52,000
official repository community version

285
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:57,440
because that seemed like the most credible one and then i was able to

286
00:20:54,159 --> 00:20:59,520
immediately open the video in mpv player

287
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:05,120
and boom full screen solved look at that gorgeous guy

288
00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:07,440
challenge number 12 watch HDR content as

289
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:11,679
far as i can tell this is basically just james rubbing in that i

290
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:15,200
have not been able to consume any HDR content this month here's an article

291
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:20,960
from a month ago redhead has announced that wants to hire

292
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:22,559
an engineer well that's a fail but um

293
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,720
everyone's going to fail so i feel pretty good other than digitally signing

294
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:31,600
my pdf i managed to complete all of my possible challenges but

295
00:21:29,679 --> 00:21:34,159
that doesn't mean that the road to get here was as painless as what you just

296
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:40,320
saw i've had a very frustrating issue where any amount of Windows movement

297
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:45,840
especially if i dare to have an even low performance game like ftl running will

298
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:50,720
be very laggy i've had a few fixes suggested to me that maybe helped a

299
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:55,840
little bit i can't really tell none of them have fully solved the problem i

300
00:21:53,440 --> 00:22:00,159
could distrohop and try something else but i'm hesitant to do that even if it

301
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:03,760
would solve the problem as that means a lot of additional work just to get

302
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:08,159
caught up to where i am now and it's possible other things will break anyways

303
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,400
meanwhile on manjaro kde i've had a relatively smooth experience i do have

304
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:16,400
little complaints like that the show desktop button doesn't actually minimize

305
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,559
anything and as soon as you grab a focus application everything comes ripping

306
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:25,039
back onto the screen or that the application labels are underneath the

307
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:30,400
window previews when you cycle through with alt tap making them harder to read

308
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,320
but overall if all i needed to do was

309
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:36,000
run a web browser do some basic word processing i wouldn't have anything to

310
00:22:34,159 --> 00:22:40,480
complain about installing and managing applications on the other hand has made

311
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:45,520
me wish that my popos experience hadn't been so discouraging manjaro has a

312
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:49,520
graphical package manager called pamac that allows applications to be installed

313
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:54,080
in a couple of clicks but by default it contains only some of the things i need

314
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:59,520
it can be unlocked to search for flat pack snap and aur packages which

315
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:05,039
dramatically increases its usefulness but if this manjaro developer is to be

316
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,840
believed these non-official sources can

317
00:23:05,039 --> 00:23:13,360
result in downtime and if they do everything is working as intended

318
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:18,400
fortunately i haven't really encountered that yet though i have only been at it

319
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:19,760
for a few weeks but it's this kind of

320
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,360
hit or miss functionality that is turned using my

321
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:27,280
computer from something that i do for fun into something that feels more like

322
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:33,520
work okay here's one miraculously the browser

323
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:37,600
source plug-in that i needed for obs was available in pamac through the arch user

324
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,320
repository but the thing is i ended up only

325
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,120
stumbling upon that by finding a post referring to it

326
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,720
as i was fighting my way through attempting to manually copy the plugin

327
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:53,679
files into the appropriate system folders which in fairness to me was

328
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:58,720
based on a guide i found and actually got me really close i was able to launch

329
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,760
obs but as soon as i tried to actually use that source it would crash

330
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:08,159
now i understand that this is totally a power user thing to do but it's also

331
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:12,559
absolutely something that a gamer particularly a game streamer might need

332
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:16,880
i wasn't able to install the browser source plugin as easily as Linus was i

333
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:22,000
did figure out how to get it to work eventually but in the hardest way

334
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:25,279
possible because using my Windows brain i installed obs by following the

335
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,760
commands on their website rather than using my distro's package manager if i

336
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:35,440
had actually started with that the main obs install would have just included the

337
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,600
browser source plugin to begin with

338
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,679
in my opinion it's an unintuitive user experience to not include the browser

339
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:45,120
source plugin by default for all the main ways of acquiring obs people have

340
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,640
been using this thing for years it's in there by default on Windows

341
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:52,799
it is buried under the build instructions tab but

342
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:56,799
come on honestly some of my dumbest problems have been caused by my default

343
00:24:54,559 --> 00:25:00,960
file manager dolphin among other things it does not allow the user to copy

344
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:05,679
anything into a folder that requires administrative privileges with no

345
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:09,919
obvious way to override it in the gui and i've run into this twice so far

346
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,880
adding insult to injury the community responses to this user who shared my

347
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:19,200
concern that not everyone wants to copy files using the terminal and that Linux

348
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:23,840
should allow the user to do what they want to do with their computer were some

349
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:26,960
of the most painfully condescending and stubborn things that i've had the

350
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:31,919
displeasure of reading throughout this challenge now i lost my link to the tweet

351
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:37,039
unfortunately but i saw an interesting criticism of this series that basically

352
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:41,279
accused me and luke of intentionally smearing Linux and its developers

353
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:46,000
because we were gonna come into this with a basic Windows gamer perspective

354
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:50,320
and try to do things the way that they do things

355
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:54,480
well news flash guys that's most people and if you

356
00:25:52,559 --> 00:26:00,320
legitimately like in your heart of hearts want Linux desktop to grow

357
00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:02,240
you need to accommodate those people so

358
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,120
you can sit there and go am i out of touch

359
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:11,039
no it's the users who are wrong but you are you're literally a meme at

360
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:14,880
that point the only question is whether you're self-aware or not well that

361
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:21,679
depends i strongly believe that enthusiast distros for advanced users should stay

362
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:25,440
advanced there is immense raw potential and an unfettered experience it is

363
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:30,240
important for new users wishing to eventually achieve mastery of a system

364
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:34,000
and for current masters of that system to be afforded full control and

365
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:39,679
responsibility in order to maximize their ability to learn grow and realize

366
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:44,000
potential that being said not everything fits under that umbrella there are

367
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:48,159
distros out there more for gamers or inexperienced users so for those systems

368
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:52,880
we really hope that there's a lot of good that can come from us doing this we

369
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:56,960
also don't want to paint everyone in the Linux community with the same brush

370
00:26:55,039 --> 00:27:01,600
because it's a diverse bunch of people with a wide range of experience with

371
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:06,880
Linux people like wendell from level1tx jc nevangelo from Linux for everyone and

372
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:11,200
gardner bryant from gardner bryant have been inviting and supportive not just to

373
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:16,320
us but to fans of the channel following in our footsteps which is super cool

374
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:20,320
but something that the good eggs in the Linux community need to understand

375
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:25,440
though is that you guys are great and there's lots of you it's just that it

376
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:30,159
only takes a couple of toxic gatekeepers to turn people off like you gotta

377
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:35,919
remember it's not always easy for people to reach out and ask for help and if a

378
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:40,399
literal developer of their distro goes out of their way to type extra

379
00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:44,000
unnecessary words to be condescending when they could have just pointed the

380
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:49,120
user to the resources that they needed it is extremely damaging to the good

381
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:53,120
work that the majority is trying to do and there has been so much of that good

382
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,520
work on display throughout this project i mean getting my Windows vm which i've

383
00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:02,159
only ended up needing to ingest some audio using rode's weird

384
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:06,320
unnecessary utility and to configure my audio interface

385
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:10,320
was kind of a nightmare between incomplete guides meaningless error

386
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:14,399
messages accidentally installing a version of virtualbox that was made for

387
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:18,799
the wrong version of the Linux kernel and needing to enable an additional BIOS

388
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:22,640
option that it didn't tell me i needed it took me literally hours

389
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:26,960
but i got there and it's worth noting that it can be a

390
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:32,240
real hassle to set up a vm on Windows 2 especially for an inexperienced user and

391
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:37,120
hey at least on Linux it's incredibly powerful and it's free now there's a lot

392
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:41,440
more that i could say right now but i feel like most of it is better suited

393
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:46,960
for the upcoming parts where we focus on game compatibility and performance and

394
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:51,039
