I say make one for gentoo. Or LFS.

Anyway, I am not able to download the video yet(campus bandwidth cap). And I use gentoo. I will say good job. But I think more people need a how-to for after they install linux. I would make a video showing how to edit stuff and use linux. That way more people stay with linux than just install it and use windows.

Great! Now make a video on how to install Wine, and install an application there (ie ms office) and how to bypass the message saying that you have to get administrator rights in order to do this, although you ARE already the one and only administrator of the system.

Make another video on how to configure the X system again if you did something that screwed your installation and can't load linux any more. (I changed 1 font and I got some weird messages on boot, then "X failed" and then "System Halted"). Something SO simple as changing a font destroyed completely my linux. It reminds me of Windows 3.1! Even worse than win3.1. The only way to config was by a text-based configurator, and I had to put horizontal and vertical freequencies for the monitor, DAC ???MHz for graphics card. After doing this configuration I had to format because it completely ruined everything. (That was on Suse and Mandrake installations)

tutorial videos are a pretty good ideia and may provide a geat

deal of help for people wanting to try out Linux :)

Just have 2 things to notice:

What codec did you used for the videos?

Don't know if it is just me but it doesn't allow to timeseek (advance and retro on the video).

Last video takes too long doing nothing, a bit of cutting on some parts would not hurt it.

Can you make a video tutorial:

How to mount a new (internal or external) NTFS formated HDD to the system, without modifying the MBR or the data on that disk.

I know that when installing Linux, all HDDs are there and there are icons on the desktop for each disk, and there is automounting function when you click on an icon.

But if I connect my WindowsXP hard drive after the installation of linux (in case you're wondering why I did that, I did it because I didn't want to lose any data from my WinXP drive, or change anything on the MBR of this drive), I can't see the drive anywhere as an icon, and I don't know which /dev/hdXX it is... And I don't want to lose any files from this HDD.

Can you make a video tutorial about it?

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
