He lost me about an hour in when he couldn't recognise that he was logged in as root, even though the prompt SHOWED the username 'root' and a pound sign (octothorn #) instead of a dollar sign ($).
This and his overall carelessness with the subject matter (due to burn-out?) counts me out.
Hey Eli, Digital Ocean logs you in as Root from the console. Root runs apt. You needed to login as a user, assuming you had a user set up for that server, in order to create a situation where sudo would be required to run apt. Had you noticed the prompt, it would have told your, "#" vs "$". Your brain was obviously not working well when you did this lesson. It happens.
Thank you. I'm very glad to hear my City Mogadishu from you. You know we have limited access to get like this world-class education you always give us with Zero dollars! Thank you Eli.
Your explanation of forks and distros is very simplified, I suppose it makes sense to a new user, but really forks and distros in this context are the same thing. Forking simply refers to creating your own custom release from the main release of a software. So all Linux distros are forks of Linux (though most of them are just smaller derivatives of the bigger forks as you say). Debian and Red Hat are not the only big forks even though they have a lot of derivatives; for example Arch is its own fork with its own package manager pacman (so not apt).
Can you please redo this content for us sitting all the way on the left side of the class with your larger than life monitor turned slightly more counter clockwise. Our eyes are about the bleed, can hardly see the screen. Muchas Nachos.
This is the typical video that almost every linux user should watch because almost everyone could find something he didn't know yet. BUT if you get slack you get it faster and on your own skin 😅
On the subject – you don't have to be smart to use Linux, just PRECISE: and you will discover how stupid some computer techs are -!
Realize how frustrating it is for many users when they follow instructions by these techies and hit enter, or click the mouse, and –> it DOESN'T WORK! They don't take into account – THE ENTIRE CONTEXT!
I believe Linus was running Minux on small machines before entering the bigger picture during the 70's and 80's and entered the market with Linux due to demand and sh..t fighting occurring at that particular time. PS. A Chronicle of the Unix Wars on YouTube is in-depth.
When you talk about DRIVERS for the hardware – is there a DIFFERENCE between one written by the manufacturer of the hardware, and the one found in the Linux repository of Open Source?
Speaking of the LINUX BOX, is there hardware that is NOT compatible with Linux – for which there is no driver from the manufacturer or the Linux repository?
Where is there a COMPREHENSIVE LIST of all the hardware manufacturers and components, that will work normally and optimally with Linux?
1:07:30 – SUDO now uses a timer. If you have just used sudo successfuly, it will not require you to enter your password again for a couple of minutes for tasks that require SUDO. I'm pretty sure this wasnt the case back in the day. But then again, I just noticed you are logged as "root", so thats why it didnt ask for the password. But its an OS thing. Nothing to do with DigitalOcean.
"Is Arch Debian based?" (20:53) Lol! Your silly for that one… No offense but if you don't know the difference between Arch, Debian, Redhat, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Fedora, etc., (aka "Linux Flavors") then begs me to question if you are the right fit for this video as it is an introduction course to Linux. Not trying to be rude sir. But I'll continue to watch this to see where this goes for now. I hope you were just joking as I am new to your channel.
I have been using Linux only for about two years now but in that time I have tried probably 30-40 different Linux distros before settling on Manjaro. (Which is Arch based btw) Along with each distro also comes with its on package manager like (apt, yum, pacman, dpkg, etc.) and desktop environments, which I hope you touch on in this video as well but I'll see. And as an example of what desktop environments are, here are some: Xfce, Kde, Gnome, Cinnmaon, MATE, Sway, i3WM, etc..(also known as Linux flavors in regards to Ubuntu)
But a Linux shell as you were saying is wrong. (24:37) A shell would be like: zsh, bash, sh, fish, and it is used to communicate with the kernel. A shell, in its most simplified form, is just an interface between the user and the machine. Typically when people refer to a "shell" they're referring to a command line user interface. But a shell can take many forms. Technically, even a GUI is a kind of shell, though typically GUIs are referred to as desktop user environments. PS. Dont "sudo rm -rf" my comment…! 🙂
1:47:40 Yes, there are no Ctrl+Z on chown -R. BUT, you could make a script to save to a text file all the permission before the change, so you have a backup to reverse with another script
Hey Eli, just donated $10, but will donate more in the future.
These classes are excellent and truly valuable, and let's be honest where else can we learn these things with the raw real world stuff and a bit of snark too (the answer: nowhere)
Sorry for YELL at the screen when there was a confusion on SUDO . When you are ROOT you are already the Super User (de SU part of sudo), you could thell for the # at the end of the command line.
Channels above 1 million subscribers can use camera microphone again, because it reminds of the early days of Youtube or what is going on in this series? o) I think audio quality like this is a slap in the face to the audience these days. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but it seems it kind of ruins the content and work you put into this.
EDIT: Ah, now I got it, you talk Linux stuff and you made the audio quality match the general Linux experience!?.. o)

If it ain't raining we ain't training brother…. thankyou for your time and energy 🙌🏽

What about using an all AMD system for Linux – is that better than Intel or A R.M.?

Can you run your Linux system WITHOUT using a PASSWORD?
When you talk about DRIVERS for the hardware – is there a DIFFERENCE between one written by the manufacturer of the hardware, and the one found in the Linux repository of Open Source?
Speaking of the LINUX BOX, is there hardware that is NOT compatible with Linux – for which there is no driver from the manufacturer or the Linux repository?
Where is there a COMPREHENSIVE LIST of all the hardware manufacturers and components, that will work normally and optimally with Linux?
What do you mean – Unix-LIKE? Aren't the commands and the structure, actually variations of Unix that run on a personal computer?
Het big touch screen tv for teaching we have that in our universities,
You're a master in teaching this. Very simple and easy to understand.
Eli is “NOT” a Homo, “YET!!” 😁
❤❤❤❤
Tq Eli. Sharing the Linux Love 🙂
Great video, thank you for sharing. I started my career with your videos in 2007, and I have been in the IT field since. Thank you for all you do!
Thank You so Much Eli for everything you're doing for us
thank u
Can Linux actually do anything useful without messing around in an archaic terminal with cryptic commands and switches? The year is 2024.
Most Linux demos spend an inordinate amount of time in at the terminal. It's off-putting.
where is the ORANGE shirt bro
20:50 he trolling at this point… 💀 "Arch is a Debian fork"
Timestamp would be helpful

56:50 – people dont use telnet because it has no encryption, SSH does.

this was so good… it's unreal how people have access to this high quality lessons for free. Young people are so lucky.
The screen is touch screen and he previously zoomed on the screen.. and now this thing is big🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
God Bless You
What is Linux start – skip to 9:06
