Installing Programs in Linux | Windows to Linux

In this video, I go over installing programs in Linux when switching from Windows to Linux. I am going over Software Store, Terminal Installs, and Compiling programs.

1. Software store GUI
2. Terminal apt install
3. Compiling from GitHub .

You probably know this but when you have [Y/n] or [y/N] choice in the terminal the capital later means it's the default choice and that it will be chosen if you just hit Enter without typing anything. You don't have to type capital Y or N, you can just type lower case letter or nothing if it's capital. Also if you type something else it will either cancel or just choose the default choice depending on the program.

Your channel is one of the reasons that I felt comfortable finally switching over completely. Thanks you Chris

KDE5 tip: In Dolphin press F4 to open half-terminal window for current directory. (and press Shift+F4 to open full new terminal)

Excellent video! This series is so helpful to new users! I wish I’d had something like this when I started using Linux. Thank you, Chris!

Bro, I've learned so much from your videos and I've been using linux for 10 years.

Good video Chris! This a great series for new Linux users. There are not a lot of solid, easy to digest tutorials out there. You are really doing a wonderful service for the Linux community. Awesome job! Looking forward to future content. 👍

This is probably the best Linux tutorial series on Youtube. ty

Now I will wait for part 10 "how to hack your neighbour's windows os"

The first thing I ever tried to install in Linux was VLC Media Player...but my personal machine had no internet at the time. You would have laughed your butt off watching me run back and forth between my computer and the family computer with a flash drive, downloading all these cryptic-looking files and seeing what Yum was going to tell me I needed next.


I've learned a lot in ten years :D

You are helping us very much with this series! :) <3

[rickbhattacharya]

Really nice video sir. You are helping a lot of new penguins to get into .
One request Sir can you please make a video on how to easily make Linux apps like a basic web-app for a particular site .

[mitchelvalentino]

To remove orphaned packages:
sudo apt autoremove

Waiting for part 3 of the PCIe-passthrough guide.
On the topic or the newbie-guide. It is not interesting for many of us but it is good that you do it. I approve of KDE Plasma, in my opinion it is the best DE for newcomers who are used to Windows.

Thanks to you, I have purchased a USB stick from eBay containing Debian Linux. I will be setting it up when it gets here on Saturday! Your videos are the material that I have been looking for. I chose Debian, mainly, because that's the one your using. I know if I run into any problems that I could watch a video on how you did it for a 1:1 comparison. Started my 30-year challenge switching to Linux a while ago, now for my Gaming pc!

to be more fast
in 10:20 click the folder icon next to download
in 10:42 right click on free space to open terminal with folder path

Enjoying your videos. I'm thinking about transferring over from Windows 7 to Linx.



I see you are typing in commands in order to run programs.



How do you know what commands you need to type in order to make a program run beforehand?


Seems about like CMD in Windows, where you have to write commands to run something.

I absolutely love the Linux OS, but there is a small hiccup when I first started installing software from the Linux command line. Funnily enough, when I started out, I deleted the package manager itself when trying to wrestle with dependencies. After that experience, I reinstalled Linux and learned not to mess with the dependencies.

@5:50
"sudo apt install steam-installer"

From where can a new Linux user (like me) find the name of the last argument (steam-installer)?

I understand the purpose of "sudo" and "apt" and "install" and even "steam-installer" (it is the name of the package). But how did you know that that is the name of the package?
Where do you look that up?

Thank you.

You should take the time to explain repositories and modifying the source files

[LazyCookPete]

Thanks for the heads up on Muon, I can definitely use this!
