Let's talk about 45Drives, why I like their open source Cockpit modules, as well as their tutorials and documentation about open source projects. I think it's rare to have a corporation care this much about open source. From my outsider view as...

VimWiki is my preferred notetaking solution because it's intentionally minimal. When I want to take notes, I want to take notes, not see a mind map or extra visualizations or photos to distract me. I'm old school! (Or just old.) In today's ...

Debian Testing is a great way to try out Debian and provide feedback to the project. But it's not a rolling release Linux distro. Although some successfully use it like one. In today's video, I'll show you how to try out Debian Testing for your...

Does anyone read descriptions anymore? If you read the description, comment with "That's a bossy video". Shoot, is that engagement farming? Oh well. What? Oh, right, I'm supposed to be describing this video. It's about Clonezilla! I love usi...

Linux boot media need not be tricky! In today's episode, I'll talk about four ways to flash an ISO from Windows (and other systems too). I know a lot of you are switching to Linux because of Microsoft's recent... ideas? I'll call them "ideas". ...

Has the internet told you Linux' "find" command is too scary to use? Well, they're wrong. Linux' "find" command - also found in lots of other *NIX systems - is a critical tool to learn. In today's Lil' Linux Lesson, I'll be demystifying the "fi...
