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.

xvid codec

bsplayer gives me nice time seeek :)

ya in future vids i will edit the videos too ... only if this thing kicks off :D

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?

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
