this video is helpful but it looks like something is going to walk out of the darkness and take you away

This is excellent. You very well spoken, easy to understand at a good pace. It makes it so much easier to learn all this. Im new to Linux, and trying to install it alongside Win 10, but having some issues. I know I must be doing something wrong. However, watching you do this, helps me greatly!

Hello Chris,
A Windows guy here, just starting to learn Linux via an online course and wanted to take a moment to give you MUCHAS GRACIAS, for the detailed way you explain things without going into tangents or telling me a story that has nothing to do with what you are teaching. This is your second video I've watched and I find, that you make it very easy to follow the steps you share on the subjects you share.
Keep up the excellent work and again, muchísimas gracias.
Tómalo suave.

Thanks Chris. I am interested in installing Linux on a previous Win 7 laptop. This video gives me clear and simple instructions on what I need to do. Cheers. Dan.

HDD failed in Acer laptop. Replaced the hdd with ssd and installed ubuntu as per this video. Thanks for the video. Laptop now works real well, smooth and fast. First, tried lubuntu but didn't work out so well. Couldn't easily load wifi drivers, and wouldn't easily boot from hard disk. Loaded ubuntu as per this video. I had to set machine to legacy from UEFI, to get around secure boot. This worked perfectly and ubuntu loaded along with all necessary drivers. Loaded lubuntu first as it is advertised as better for laptops, but full ubuntu works great.

& What if I already have Win installed, but want to try or install LINUX as a secondary OS....then, which option INSTEAD of ERASE ALL in drive would I use?, there were 3 would it automatically resize the drive partition, even tho I have 1 OS already would I have to uninstall WINDOWS & start from scratch?

Please I need some help
I tried to install Linux Ubuntu like the video and so many other videos, but when it complete installation and I remove USB drive and heat restart, the system take too long and get many massages for many errors, and my laptop froze after that I forced it to shut down, and turn on the system at the begining Linux didn't appear in dual system list so I use easy bcd, and go into Linux but it crashed many times in browser, opening file explorer and get into settings so what can I do

After I finish installing Ubuntu on my laptop, it's showing that my remaining disk space is only 4gb whereas my internal harddrive has 320gb left. Is there a way to make Ubuntu recognize the entire internal harddrive as its desktop space? I need to install some kivy-android stuff on Ubuntu and I run out of memory real fast. :(

This was a good tutorial. Its 6 -7 year since I last try to use Linux. Maybe i will try it again now. Thanks

[qwerasdfhjkio]

This is exactly what I was looking for!

I remember in 2003 how hard to install lunix without someone show you.
Thanks again.

[rohayamohamed]

Thank you, Chris for this video. This helped me to install Linux Ubuntu for the first time .

[geovanivela]

Hello Chris, thank you for the video. So I am coming from windows and not to familiar with Linux, but I like what I see. Please if you have anything else that can help me understand it, I will apreciaste your opinions and suggestions. And for the USB I have an 8GB one it is empty only the download file folder that comes with it is on it. It should be okay for the purpose right?

You are a life saver. My pc could not create a win10 media from microsoft's tool and it could only create iso file but my laptop doesn't have anything to burn cds. i didn't know rufus existed and it literally saved my life. i burned the windows iso to my usb instead of using the Microsoft usb tool which screwed up the format of two of my usb and made them unusable.

[looseygoose]

so do we need to format a drive in order to have it work on a drive partition? and does this method work with dual booting?
