The Drunk Linux User

Quick apology video for not uploading anything recently. I’m getting ready for a big move, and it’s taken most of my time and energy.

No ranting or dire warnings today! We’re here for some odd little “How-To’s”. Sit back, get the popcorn, and let’s see if I can do this without a net… Gnome & Top Panel Indicators…Miss ’em?

Trying out Pop_OS…because I can, and I read somewhere that it’s supposed to be a really good Linux distro for Video creation and editing. We shall see about that! Here’s the link for the Distro: https://pop.system76.com/ Pop_OS changes the way you boot if you have more than one OS on your drive or if you have a second drive. Here’s a good video on how to fix that. It’s what I used, and it’s working perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE6YjpZLHNE I mentioned before that Linux can use different file systems. Here’s an article if you want to learn more: https://www.fosslinux.com/41737/linux-file-systems.htm You see me working with the Terminal on occasion. If you’d like to know more about getting around in the Terminal, take a look at this article: https://linuxhint.com/navigate-linux-terminal/ If you’re really interested in becoming a Linux Expert, there are many free ways to get the information you need. I can’t vouch for this, but here’s a paid version that you might be interested in. It appears to be structured, and it’s only $59 for a lifetime ability to go back and learn again if you need to. https://deals.ghacks.net/sales/the-complete-2020-learn-linux-bundle As much as I love to tinker around in Linux, I am NOT a programmer nor a Systems Admin! I’m just a guy trying to pass along what I’ve learned along the way to help other noobs.

I took the plunge and decided to install EndeavourOS on a separate partition. It’s worked very well, so far. There’s just one little problem that really isn’t a problem, but it just looks like a problem. The Network Manager keeps saying I have limited connectivity when I don’t. I’ve checked some sites, and their fixes don’t work for me. Hey, if it’s a non-issue, I think I can live with it. Dang, this is fast!

Even after all these years of using Linux, I’ll still find something new. I’ve used video taken and saved by cameras before, but not so much using a webcam. That’s what I’ve been doing for these videos. I was using OBS-Studio. I’m not doing that any more. I’m using Webcamoid to set up my video settings and then using VokoscreenNG to record from my webcam and desktop. Seems to be working! We’ll find out after I post this video.

We had a power outage, I lost my OS, and I've had to start over. Hard? Nope. Easy? Mostly. Prepared? As much as I can. Back up your data, and look out for thunderstorms! It looks like turning off my compositor in Xfce makes a huge difference in not having 'jerky' or 'freezing' videos. Time will tell. Dang, what a day!!!

Want to turn your Linux Desktop appearance into Windows (why on God’s green Earth would you do such a thing?), a Mac, or just look different? Linux Desktops offer different ways to change their appearance. Take a look… (Oh, and I found a better theme for Xfce in Manjaro that I'll show you next time around. ;-) ) For ALL Things Customizable in Linux: https://www.pling.com/ Another Great Source for Appearance & Icon Themes: https://b00merang.weebly.com/ Yuengling - America’s Oldest Brewery (Just Because): https://www.yuengling.com/ (Their Lager and Black & Tan are my favorites!) There is another place you can drop Theme & Icon folders, and that's in your Home Directory in the corresponding .theme or .icon folder. The only thing about this is that if an Open/Close dialog pops up, it's not going to be themed like the rest of your desktop. Cursors revert to the default as well. This is why I suggested you place these folders in your /usr/share/themes or icons folders.

There are many ways to install programs in Linux. I'm showing some of the most common ways in a Debian based distribution; PPA's, AppImages, FlatPaks, Snaps, Binary and .deb files. I also talk about how to make a .desktop file in case you run into a problem where your program doesn't show up in your menu... To learn about PPA's: https://itsfoss.com/ppa-guide/ How to create a .desktop file: https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-desktop-file-linux/ Insert your application name and use this code to move your .desktop file from your desktop to your system files: sudo mv applicationname.desktop /usr/share/applications The wonderful GDebi https://itsfoss.com/gdebi-default-ubuntu-software-center/ A self contained application system - FlatHub: https://flathub.org/home Another self contained application system - Snaps: https://snapcraft.io/ You can find me on: Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1048634 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYahGpzUaoeUtPEeeOGXGhA Remember our words of wisdom: Don’t drive drunk, don’t drink and drive, don’t buy crap off of Amazon or eBay (or MS Edge?) because you’re all buzzed up and think you’re getting cool stuff.

I'm a self-taught Linux User. I'm not a 'power-user' by my definition, I'm more of an 'Intermediate' user. I've learned a lot online from some sites that have come and gone, and the following sites that are still sticking around as of today. You can learn a lot from these sites and the people who have contributed to them. Take a look, and have some fun! Oh, and yeah; I *really* need to get a newer computer. My poor processor just doesn't have the cajones to do these videos smoothly. My apologies for some of the picture freezes. The audio keeps going smoothly though; thankfully!
