Titus vs LTT - Simple Tasks on Linux

This breaks down all the simple tasks that Linus and Luke did in Linux. I also show more advanced ways to complete the tasks faster to make you a better user!

The cool thing about loading fonts via command line is thats is mega fast if you know the commands.
The uncool thing about loading fonts via command line is that it's mega slow if you don't remember the commands and need to google the procedure first.

Most of you completely missed the point presented near the beginning of the video. Doing anything through the terminal and not having a seamless, intuitive GUI alternative, will never allow Linux to gain traction as a mainstream OS for daily driving. Imagine a new person knowing what Dolphin even is. You all are only proving more and more that Linux has no business being in the mainstream space as a daily driver, and why mainstream software development for Linux will probably never take off. I appreciate that Chris did mention he's doing this from a server admin perspective, but that's not most people.

You did everything with terminal, but the main problem is that the normal user don't want to use terminal, GUI is must the normal user.

[AlextheguitarFreak]

This really felt like it was a "How to do everything in terminal" video I appreciate how fast everything runs that way but can never see myself using it. I appreciate seeing both sides though.

I am new to Linux, I am running KDE Plasma and I must say I am loving this whole series from Linus and Luke's videos, and your follow up videos. I have saved them all to my Linux playlist, and after going through these videos I have answers to things in Linux that I did not think I would find a solution for, plus I get a "what not to do" and "what to do" if a particular issue comes up that I have not encountered yet.

I'm a tech enthusiast, I've used terminals before, I have basic programming knowledge,

and I still would hate to use my PC over the terminal! Sorry, I know a lot of people like it, but the GUI is so much better for visualizing things. And this is coming from someone who knows how to use the command line, imagine how the average person would feel...

I'm glad it works for you guys, but for the rest of us, we really prefer a good visual layout.

[abinavshankar]

The fact that you have to pull up a terminal everytime is the reason why they did this challenge and also the reason why normal people hate Linux. Luckily, I found Zorin and it is gold!

Chris: "This is how I would do it.'
Everyone else: "Let me guess, it's the command line!"

[chris_tahir]

IMO, the main point of Linus challenge was to point out to Linux community that UX needs to be improved if you want to onboard people on to Linux to increase the adoption of it.

Till date, I am using Linux for my workflow flawlessly, at least for me. But I do almost all 99% on GUI, which is required for non tech person

[davethenerd]

I don't think the LTT series is about showing any particular way of doing things. They are showing how the simple prospect of getting Linux installed and basic setup and use isn't nearly as simple and easy as it should be. You are kind of proving the point that it isn't easy for new people to Linux to get up and running with little to zero friction, as most of what you've shown requires already understanding how to do these things.

Anybody: "Dolphin"
Linux Guys: **snicker** no... just.. haha

[meowcula]

Cool video, Chris. Basically "hey - terminal isn't so scary!" combined with "there's many ways to do things, all are valid". Good message, all around. OH - also when I was watching their part 3 and Linus was having VLC full screen trouble, the first thing I thought of was that VLC episode and wondered if it was the same issues you were having with it (apparently so).

Copy and paste... easier than in windows 11

[real_lostinthefogofwar]

Chris makes linux seem more confusing than it needs to be.

[joeltyler]

Preview on the Mac can do digital signatures. Since lion (10.7).
Which is a decade old.

Man I feel so old.

[glenbyu]

great episode. both yours and ltt's.

I had to smile. my work was setting up digital certs for windows. lets just say it took a lot longer than 15mins and setting up the certs in a government environment can be challenging....

[andrepessoa]

Comparing to the previous parts of the LTT's Linux Challange, in part 3, Linus and Luke seemed to be more aware that addressing the Linux Community is not the same as demanding something from a company like MS or Apple. They aknowledged the diversity of people (from developers to average users) that are part of the Community. Besides, since Linux Desktop Renaissance in the late 90's, Linux community has grow in average user numbers, more than developers and IT people.

[SuperWolfkin]

Honestly I was hoping for this. For instance on the sign a PDF I think Luke and Linus were going for two very different versions of signing.

But yeah I totally want to see how a Linux user does these tasks. I expect a Linux user will be using a terminal for a lot of it. I mean the link and file moving stuff is super fast on the terminal as a mac user back when OSX started even I know that. But I'm hoping this video also corrects through the gui when possible to show what L&L *could* have done differently.

Saw you in a supercut video on this and came here to see the full version. Learned a lot.
