I Finally found a Linux distribution for programmers new to Linux

**This video was sponsored by Brilliant**

In this video, we're going to dive into what I think is the best linux distribution for a web developer wanting to dip their toes into linux. That distro is ubuntu. Well, its not really ubuntu, its ubunut with a bunch of tooling, called omakub. Omakub is amazing, it has everything you coudl need. and in this video I'll show you how to install it. and some of the tooling it provides out of the box.

Chapters:
0:00 - intro & showing off omakub
1:30 - 3 Reason to use linux
5:00 - why omakub and ubuntu?
7:59 - installing omakub on top of ubuntu
9:20 - confirmations for installation
10:03 - exploring omakub and showing off tools!

As a fellow beginner, arch was the best for me btw

I had an old laptop laying around and I tried Omakub on it and I loved it. I didn't get any error and it was straight forward.

Would you make a video on how to make omakub your own with more customization - thank for all the videos I learnt a lot watching them

[juancarloshernandez]

Thanks for the video, very interesting as always. Which ThinkPad model is the one you have and what specs does it have?

I tried lot of distro's especially ubuntu based distro's but none of them are good as arch.
And thanks to your neovim configuration tutorials it's much better.❤

it's hard to get latest packages on Ubuntu, my dotfiles for mac just doesn't work for Ubuntu cuz some flags are missing in some CLIs (outdated). I recommend a rolling release distro. For server, Ubuntu is fine.

Created by DHH? Primes gonna love this

[mygamesm]

yea i totally switched to linux to use chrome

[plutack]

the code is well modularized too. you can easily go through it and understand what what each script does.

I took Just Perfection, Space Bar, Blur my Shell and Forge (instead Tactile) and now I have a Tiling Windows GNOME setup, omakub-inspired.

Very nice looking distro. Finally a distro where you don't have to waste time intalling and configuring everything like Arch.

I like my choices and I don’t prefer a pre-configured distribution. But I do appreciate the work and hey it’s a win for such targeted audience.

Tried this. Install ended with "cannot connect to docker, is docker running) Logging of and logging on again resulted in a blank screen...

[henriquepicanco]

Ok, this video made me think about what to use, if I go to Ubuntu and use their approach for GNOME, with their modifications, or if I continue with my plan to use Fedora Silverblue (not Workstation, Silverblue).

i tried this on a dual boot and ran into nothing but issues trying to get it working, it eventually led me to start working with NixOS instead

[MadukaJayalath]

As a developer I moved to Ubuntu from Windows like 15 years ago and never go back!

[desvendandoornasaude]

So good video dude. As you like catpuccino theme I like vscode theme. The only thing good in vscode is its beauty look. So I use neovim with this.

[petergoodall]

failed for me on ubuntu 22.04.4 at alacrityy install

[igorjanuszkiewicz]

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks nerd

[prithvikaushik]

I am a beginner too, but your and Learn Linux TV's videos made it super easy for me to get started with Arch, thanks Sir NERD ❤
