WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.560 anything is easy if you know exactly what you're doing but by the same token 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:11.519 anything can be difficult or even impossible if you lack the requisite 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.679 skills resources or knowledge that's the 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:17.440 basic premise of this video where Linus and i now three weeks into daily driving 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:22.960 some form of Linux on our personal gaming machines we'll change the gears 00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:24.960 and attempt to complete 12 simple tasks 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.480 simple as long as we've actually been doing our homework to familiarize 00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:31.760 ourselves with our Linux desktop environments 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.680 here we go thanks to nzxt for sponsoring today's 00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:40.320 video nzxt wants to make building a custom pc easier with nzxt build just 00:00:38.559 --> 00:00:43.920 set a budget see how the computer performs with your favorite games and 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.480 build takes care of the rest use the link down below to get your own custom 00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:48.480 pc today 00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:01.920 while the main idea behind the Linux daily driver challenge is to evaluate 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.600 the Linux experience from a gamer's perspective even the most ardent gamer 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:10.159 will occasionally want to do other things on their pc like print out a 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:14.960 document or watch a video and those things need to not only be possible but 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:19.040 also fast and painless enough that they aren't immediately prompted to run back 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 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:26.720 of 15 minutes compared to gaming basic 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.079 office work is much more mature on Linux and for anything that's not 00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:33.920 straightforward there's a good chance that you can find a web app to fill the 00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:39.200 gap these days everything from word processing to basic video editing or 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.479 even creating 3d mockups can all be done 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:44.399 in a browser and often for free in preparation for 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.720 this part of the challenge i practiced using play on Linux by installing 00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:51.439 notepad plus plus and i hope that if i really need some other Windows 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 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.799 Windows 10 virtual machine that i set up using kvm but 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 00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:10.560 source software kind of violates the spirit of the challenge here even if it 00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:13.920 is technically within bounds so there's going to be a half point deduction for 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 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 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.000 on my machine already and i'm expecting this to be pretty straightforward 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:32.319 here are the challenges you must surmount in whatever order you please 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.080 cut and paste a file from one drive oh 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.800 man i was expecting them to come up with some stuff that's really challenging so 00:02:35.519 --> 00:02:41.040 just like in Windows control x 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:46.480 and i will paste it to my kingston thumb drive 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:49.959 it is done 3.9 gigs playing it back 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:58.319 yes i do appreciate the irony of trying to play success.mkv and having it 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:02.959 just be a black screen i'm going to cut this 00:03:01.040 --> 00:03:06.879 and i'm going to paste this 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:11.519 done okay step one complete i mean i really didn't 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.280 consider that this might take me longer than like a couple of 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.120 seconds just like it doesn't take longer than a 00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:23.440 couple of seconds to go to lttstore.com check out our great merch this is really 00:03:21.519 --> 00:03:27.680 annoying macOS does this too there's no refresh button in dolphin 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 00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:36.000 is the philosophy is you're not supposed to need to refresh well sometimes i do 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:39.920 so you need to have the button sorry it's just i'm still angry about 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:44.239 this from like seven or eight years ago or whenever i did my macOS daily driver 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.760 challenge vlc is not even opening anymore 00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:50.560 now i'm kind of afraid to touch anything nautilus reports a completely different 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.799 stuff okay 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.519 the file is here and for some reason 00:03:56.720 --> 00:04:04.319 vlc launches now did it just take that long to cancel the move operation it did 00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.879 i am grabbing a smaller file 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:13.040 trying to install teamviewer.txt 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:17.680 i'm cutting and i'm pasting it 00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:22.880 success challenge two digitally signed this pdf 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:26.400 i have not specifically installed any kind of pdf reader so this is the 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:31.360 default digitally sign 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:36.160 oh this is looking promising oh draw a rectangle to indicate the signature 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.880 field okay do 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.240 a signature this size is too small to read 00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:45.440 no i'm just going gonna sign it there are no available signing certificates 00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:51.120 okay man i thought i was gonna be done this in like one minute 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:54.000 how to sign i'm assuming i'm not gonna be able to 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:59.680 sign it because i'm assuming this is just a reader 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.120 uh is there something on here document viewer 00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:08.320 i know what i use on Windows for this is is sedged 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.560 okay sejda i'm gonna i'm gonna download sejda just in case this pdf mod 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:15.840 thing doesn't work okay this is what i use on Windows so 00:05:15.039 --> 00:05:20.000 let's let's give this a shot 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.240 sign new signature 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:30.810 save um let me just verify that that worked 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:39.840 let's get out of here i don't need pdf mod pdf to sign signed 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.960 done now gyro ad pkcs 00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:46.400 signing certificate oh you can get free trusted certificates 00:05:44.479 --> 00:05:53.840 from the let's encrypt oh or we can use the mk cert tool 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.280 come on yes yes i know andy 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:03.360 oh blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.360 blah what commands 00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:08.880 all right it's clear that this is a thing 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 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:18.720 half an hour an hour but unfortunately it's not 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.639 something that is quick or easy 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.680 i guess i get zero points i should have bailed a couple of minutes ago and 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:29.360 switched over to my vm i failed challenge number two 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.720 export a chart from v excel 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.639 right click save as picture 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:39.120 an excel file this has got to be the chart we're 00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:40.720 trying to right click export as image 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.479 did that work i've never done this before i wasn't even fully aware that 00:06:42.960 --> 00:06:50.160 was a thing uh looks like it worked it has a 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:54.319 transparent background but uh it doesn't matter i don't think so this black 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:58.000 background is not the color of the cells the black 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:03.039 background is just an image 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.520 oh yes here we go here we go here we go okay 00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:10.880 you just have to find exactly the right spot export as image hey 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.919 why is the name system volume information 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:19.360 okay why did it default to system volume information okay yes okay i needed a w 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:24.160 here and i i got it it's not quite right you can see it's 00:07:21.520 --> 00:07:30.319 actually missing the borders on the right and bottom but everything else 00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.960 here looks fine calling that a w add a 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:36.319 new font um i'm assuming this is just dragging it 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.280 into the fonts folder so just do this 00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:44.639 nope i thought it was going to be as easy 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.199 as just dragging it into this folder to be honest 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:59.120 or use your share fonts true type there we go 00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.360 i'm going to put a font in here 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:04.400 mission denied okay so open as root 00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:13.319 done now if i load this again 00:08:13.440 --> 00:08:19.039 i don't see it i'm just gonna copy it to my downloads 00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:25.199 folder um what just happened did that just copy to 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:30.160 the why would it do that i drag this onto a folder 00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:34.000 but because arc is some completely separate application 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:38.800 that doesn't integrate properly with dolphin it just goes it just dumps it into the 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:42.240 folder instead of specifically on the folder i'm dragging it to so i have to 00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:46.560 open this folder then copy it 00:08:43.839 --> 00:08:50.399 i can open night zone with 00:08:47.760 --> 00:08:52.880 sorry what is this k font view oh install 00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:57.120 do you want to install the fonts for personal use systemwide systemwide 00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:01.760 yes i'm going to change my user interface 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:04.720 to it all right 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 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 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 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.880 everywhere is it actually called a font 00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:27.839 is it called night zone have i been done this whole time 00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:36.640 okay i got it right i just didn't realize it was called night zone thanks 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:46.720 james oh my god okay sweet sick print the word doc 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:48.959 okay here's my word document file 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.560 print yeah theoretically i i haven't done any 00:09:51.760 --> 00:09:57.920 setup for a printer um but this looks like a printer 00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:00.399 so let's do it 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:06.240 okay a word document is printing um i'll be back 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:09.920 that's in my girlfriend's office we'll see what's gonna happen 00:10:10.959 --> 00:10:20.240 that was probably the easiest and best printing experience 00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:22.000 i've uh pretty much ever had i didn't i 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 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 00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:36.000 up being like this printer has connected um but i never did anything for it and 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:39.839 yeah printers 00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:42.160 okay hold on what was that printer hp device manager 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:47.839 what is this do i even have an hp printer it's a samsung 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.839 that's going to be 00:10:48.160 --> 00:10:56.480 are you kidding me there it is 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:59.440 samsung clp 310 series okay 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 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:08.720 get working on Windows because i think the last time it got a driver was either 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.959 vista or Windows 7. i actually have it 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 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 00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:24.800 thing like it's a very giant pain in the butt um this just 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 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:33.760 to believe it we're connecting printer waiting for printer let's go andy let's 00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:38.240 go andy the lights flashing it's flashing come on clp 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 00:11:46.079 --> 00:11:51.600 printer but actually getting something to print is one of 00:11:50.079 --> 00:11:55.120 those things that pretty much every time you need to do it it's like 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 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:03.360 lot success ah 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:08.720 challenge number six compress and send all the files on this drive 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:14.880 okay um compress 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:16.800 here as dot zip why is it dot zip dot u 00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:19.680 q j q f u well that brings up 00:12:19.839 --> 00:12:25.560 nothing why would it put that there goodbye 00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:35.120 fail to open archive not a zip archive 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.120 it's a uqj qfu 00:12:37.680 --> 00:12:42.959 nope it just is broken perfect i'm going to compress 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:47.760 to a zip right here create 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:49.519 let's uh let's check top 00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:55.040 i'm going to make sure things are happening 00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:55.839 7-zip is attempting to use 100 of my CPU 00:12:55.040 --> 00:13:02.240 so things are happening holy crap andy you know what 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 00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:10.560 compress here as dot zip it was doing it down here 00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:16.160 and i didn't notice so i guess the 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.639 the six characters or whatever here 00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:22.399 is just random gibberish while it's a temporary file i should change this font 00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:28.880 back says i like it let's do it oh dscu comic 00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:33.040 there we go are these files going to compress at some point dolphin you're 00:13:30.800 --> 00:13:36.480 embarrassing yourself okay let's try and do it in i forget what this one is 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:40.160 called it doesn't matter archive name at least it prompts me for 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:44.079 what i want to call it i don't see any kind of progress indicator 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:47.360 are you kidding me am i going to fail to zip a file 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.800 this is not uploading i was kind of hoping that i was going to 00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:53.199 be able to do every single task in under 15 minutes 00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:57.199 um the fonts task really slowed me down 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 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:05.920 slowing me down because it just took a long time to compress and now it's 00:14:03.839 --> 00:14:09.760 taking a long time to upload but other than that these have all been 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.760 very easy so far and this one is clearly stalled 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 00:14:16.959 --> 00:14:23.760 okay copy then i can go into downloads 00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:28.560 zip folder yes this is the workaround 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:34.320 oh my god 10 minutes remaining to copy these files 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:37.839 this is another thing that i definitely can do it just 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:42.399 had some issues wait wait 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:47.920 no i'm good i'm good the the first one i did in 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:49.760 dolphin it's done i think nice wait 00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:55.040 no i didn't get the point i'm supposed to send them maybe i can 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.399 weasel my way out of this a little yellow what do you mean by compress and 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 00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:07.120 so emailing it's not really practical 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:15.680 oh well i mean i already zipped the whole thing including the video because okay 00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:18.800 i'm giving myself the points i could i could have emailed this to someone i 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:22.399 think that's fine okay all right 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 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.959 okay so take a screenshot screenshot i 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 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:38.399 to do area to grab and i'm going to screenshot 00:15:38.839 --> 00:15:44.079 this bang it just shows up right here i'm gonna 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:49.040 throw it in the Linux challenge folder and there it is 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:51.519 there's a screenshot i'm gonna wait for 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 00:15:52.880 --> 00:16:00.720 network share set up discord app to open on startup 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:05.240 there's probably a startup applications add one choose application 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:11.199 discord that application done this skirt's on 00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:15.759 startup now watch 4k content i'm assuming that's 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:19.680 this the uh video google unveiled the pixel 6 and 6 pro 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 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.519 i did that this is done 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:33.759 that just got finished insert files using drive 00:16:32.079 --> 00:16:36.759 Linux challenge okay 00:16:36.800 --> 00:16:42.800 one person view send got it 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 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:53.120 that but we do have spectacle which is a pretty cool little screen shotting tool 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:56.079 so you just click take a new screenshot and then you can 00:16:56.880 --> 00:17:03.360 drag a little thing press enter cool 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:03.360 i did it 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 00:17:07.679 --> 00:17:12.799 to where you want it and make a shortcut so no i will 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 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:22.000 way of doing this haha name for new link okay can i copy the location 00:17:19.919 --> 00:17:24.400 yes i can haha 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:31.679 hey done i've like never made shortcuts 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:36.960 i don't make shortcuts in Windows either i can hold the shift and control keys 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:42.400 highlighting and dragging a file or folder okay it seems a little weird but 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:45.640 let's make a shortcut of a video 00:17:49.600 --> 00:17:55.919 that looks like it's a shortcut 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 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:05.919 actually crazy easy because while i am using samba on my Linux 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:14.440 nas it's a Linux nas so 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:14.440 yeah so network shared folders smba 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 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:26.559 i can just add a shortcut to this right here see 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:34.160 i'm going to call that good enough so now every time i open up dolphin 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.960 i just click Linus and it will go to my 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.480 share just like that 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:48.400 i have received confirmation from james i don't have any network attached 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.480 storage devices at my home right now so 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:54.799 he said it is okay if i set up a folder 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:59.200 for sharing i'm gonna go into property oh sharing options let's try that 00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:05.120 samba needs to be installed appropriate firewalls let's do this this is the first one 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 00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:14.720 years ago share this folder is on 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:18.160 allow others to create and delete files in this folder and let's do guest access 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:21.679 as well add the permissions automatically 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:26.960 cool it is now a network share you can see 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:31.760 a little thingamajig there i think that's it so in the end that took me 00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:35.200 less than 40 minutes in total uh the majority of that time was waiting for a 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:40.400 file to compress waiting for a file to upload waiting for a response from the 00:19:37.280 --> 00:19:42.320 taskmaster himself etc not doing the 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:47.679 actual tasks i think that would have taken me a very similar amount of time 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:50.000 in Windows actually the print of file 00:19:47.679 --> 00:19:55.360 portion probably went better than it would have on Windows 00:19:52.320 --> 00:19:57.520 to be completely honest so yeah overall 00:19:55.360 --> 00:20:02.559 no problem really easy compressing and files failed copying 00:19:59.919 --> 00:20:07.679 failed yeah thanks a lot dolphin you suck 00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:08.960 set up discord app to open 00:20:07.679 --> 00:20:14.960 on startup i think it might just do that by default 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 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:22.720 i got this 00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:27.600 hey okay apparently i had already configured this 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.880 so another point for Linus 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.480 watch 4k content avideo.mp4 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:42.799 where'd it go hello wait it goes black in full screen 00:20:39.679 --> 00:20:44.480 that's a nice feature 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:50.320 why i grabbed mpv media player the 00:20:47.120 --> 00:20:52.000 official repository community version 00:20:50.320 --> 00:20:57.440 because that seemed like the most credible one and then i was able to 00:20:54.159 --> 00:20:59.520 immediately open the video in mpv player 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:05.120 and boom full screen solved look at that gorgeous guy 00:21:01.679 --> 00:21:07.440 challenge number 12 watch HDR content as 00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:11.679 far as i can tell this is basically just james rubbing in that i 00:21:09.600 --> 00:21:15.200 have not been able to consume any HDR content this month here's an article 00:21:13.440 --> 00:21:20.960 from a month ago redhead has announced that wants to hire 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:22.559 an engineer well that's a fail but um 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:26.720 everyone's going to fail so i feel pretty good other than digitally signing 00:21:24.320 --> 00:21:31.600 my pdf i managed to complete all of my possible challenges but 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 00:21:33.360 --> 00:21:40.320 saw i've had a very frustrating issue where any amount of Windows movement 00:21:37.520 --> 00:21:45.840 especially if i dare to have an even low performance game like ftl running will 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:50.720 be very laggy i've had a few fixes suggested to me that maybe helped a 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:55.840 little bit i can't really tell none of them have fully solved the problem i 00:21:53.440 --> 00:22:00.159 could distrohop and try something else but i'm hesitant to do that even if it 00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:03.760 would solve the problem as that means a lot of additional work just to get 00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:08.159 caught up to where i am now and it's possible other things will break anyways 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:12.400 meanwhile on manjaro kde i've had a relatively smooth experience i do have 00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:16.400 little complaints like that the show desktop button doesn't actually minimize 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:20.559 anything and as soon as you grab a focus application everything comes ripping 00:22:18.320 --> 00:22:25.039 back onto the screen or that the application labels are underneath the 00:22:23.120 --> 00:22:30.400 window previews when you cycle through with alt tap making them harder to read 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.320 but overall if all i needed to do was 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:36.000 run a web browser do some basic word processing i wouldn't have anything to 00:22:34.159 --> 00:22:40.480 complain about installing and managing applications on the other hand has made 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:45.520 me wish that my popos experience hadn't been so discouraging manjaro has a 00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:49.520 graphical package manager called pamac that allows applications to be installed 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 00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:59.520 it can be unlocked to search for flat pack snap and aur packages which 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:05.039 dramatically increases its usefulness but if this manjaro developer is to be 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:07.840 believed these non-official sources can 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:13.360 result in downtime and if they do everything is working as intended 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:18.400 fortunately i haven't really encountered that yet though i have only been at it 00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:19.760 for a few weeks but it's this kind of 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.360 hit or miss functionality that is turned using my 00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:27.280 computer from something that i do for fun into something that feels more like 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:33.520 work okay here's one miraculously the browser 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:37.600 source plug-in that i needed for obs was available in pamac through the arch user 00:23:36.320 --> 00:23:42.320 repository but the thing is i ended up only 00:23:39.520 --> 00:23:45.120 stumbling upon that by finding a post referring to it 00:23:43.600 --> 00:23:48.720 as i was fighting my way through attempting to manually copy the plugin 00:23:47.120 --> 00:23:53.679 files into the appropriate system folders which in fairness to me was 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 00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:03.760 obs but as soon as i tried to actually use that source it would crash 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 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:12.559 absolutely something that a gamer particularly a game streamer might need 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:16.880 i wasn't able to install the browser source plugin as easily as Linus was i 00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:22.000 did figure out how to get it to work eventually but in the hardest way 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.279 possible because using my Windows brain i installed obs by following the 00:24:23.600 --> 00:24:29.760 commands on their website rather than using my distro's package manager if i 00:24:27.760 --> 00:24:35.440 had actually started with that the main obs install would have just included the 00:24:31.760 --> 00:24:37.600 browser source plugin to begin with 00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:41.679 in my opinion it's an unintuitive user experience to not include the browser 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:45.120 source plugin by default for all the main ways of acquiring obs people have 00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:48.640 been using this thing for years it's in there by default on Windows 00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:52.799 it is buried under the build instructions tab but 00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:56.799 come on honestly some of my dumbest problems have been caused by my default 00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:00.960 file manager dolphin among other things it does not allow the user to copy 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:05.679 anything into a folder that requires administrative privileges with no 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 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:14.880 adding insult to injury the community responses to this user who shared my 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:19.200 concern that not everyone wants to copy files using the terminal and that Linux 00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:23.840 should allow the user to do what they want to do with their computer were some 00:25:21.120 --> 00:25:26.960 of the most painfully condescending and stubborn things that i've had the 00:25:25.520 --> 00:25:31.919 displeasure of reading throughout this challenge now i lost my link to the tweet 00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:37.039 unfortunately but i saw an interesting criticism of this series that basically 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:41.279 accused me and luke of intentionally smearing Linux and its developers 00:25:39.360 --> 00:25:46.000 because we were gonna come into this with a basic Windows gamer perspective 00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:50.320 and try to do things the way that they do things 00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:54.480 well news flash guys that's most people and if you 00:25:52.559 --> 00:26:00.320 legitimately like in your heart of hearts want Linux desktop to grow 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:02.240 you need to accommodate those people so 00:26:00.320 --> 00:26:05.120 you can sit there and go am i out of touch 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 00:26:09.120 --> 00:26:14.880 that point the only question is whether you're self-aware or not well that 00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:21.679 depends i strongly believe that enthusiast distros for advanced users should stay 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:25.440 advanced there is immense raw potential and an unfettered experience it is 00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:30.240 important for new users wishing to eventually achieve mastery of a system 00:26:27.679 --> 00:26:34.000 and for current masters of that system to be afforded full control and 00:26:32.080 --> 00:26:39.679 responsibility in order to maximize their ability to learn grow and realize 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:44.000 potential that being said not everything fits under that umbrella there are 00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:48.159 distros out there more for gamers or inexperienced users so for those systems 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 00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:56.960 also don't want to paint everyone in the Linux community with the same brush 00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:01.600 because it's a diverse bunch of people with a wide range of experience with 00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:06.880 Linux people like wendell from level1tx jc nevangelo from Linux for everyone and 00:27:04.080 --> 00:27:11.200 gardner bryant from gardner bryant have been inviting and supportive not just to 00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:16.320 us but to fans of the channel following in our footsteps which is super cool 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:20.320 but something that the good eggs in the Linux community need to understand 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 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:30.159 only takes a couple of toxic gatekeepers to turn people off like you gotta 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 00:27:33.360 --> 00:27:40.399 literal developer of their distro goes out of their way to type extra 00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:44.000 unnecessary words to be condescending when they could have just pointed the 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:49.120 user to the resources that they needed it is extremely damaging to the good 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 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:57.520 work on display throughout this project i mean getting my Windows vm which i've 00:27:55.520 --> 00:28:02.159 only ended up needing to ingest some audio using rode's weird 00:27:59.840 --> 00:28:06.320 unnecessary utility and to configure my audio interface 00:28:03.840 --> 00:28:10.320 was kind of a nightmare between incomplete guides meaningless error 00:28:08.320 --> 00:28:14.399 messages accidentally installing a version of virtualbox that was made for 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:18.799 the wrong version of the Linux kernel and needing to enable an additional BIOS 00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:22.640 option that it didn't tell me i needed it took me literally hours 00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:26.960 but i got there and it's worth noting that it can be a 00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:32.240 real hassle to set up a vm on Windows 2 especially for an inexperienced user and 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 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 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:46.960 for the upcoming parts where we focus on game compatibility and performance and 00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:51.039 our overall conclusions so i will see you there thanks to nzxt for sponsoring
