    Thanks for sharing.

    With “Beginners Guide to Linux” in the title, I don’t think the video is suitable for anyone who hasn’t already tried Linux.

    There’s not even a mention of what a “distro” is, and if I had never used Linux before and watched this video, I’d run away as fast as I could. It’s way too complex, and mentions way too many things that I’ve probably never heard of before.

        I wouldn’t say no one who isn’t running linux isn’t going to see this:

        I know that I switched over to linux because of the sheer amount of advocacy and info posts for beginners on lemmy. I used to only use linux servers at work, but lemmy convinced / helped me to switch fully to linux! :)

        Edit: just to clarify: I mean this post will get shared around on spaces with noobs like me, even if its on peertube and im not “on it”

    Never thought about this before, what’s the Manjaro logo supposed to be? It kinda spells “ril” but that’s probably not what they’re going for?
