Love the cute linux intro videos we're getting this year. This guy does a solid job yesterday, all points explained with detail but not too much detail:
Getting new people into the Good Place. 😄

I went on a half-day journey of discovery through QubesOS, LVM, and device-mapper, so that I could get my laptop working again after it rebooted randomly at a very inopportune moment.
Frustrating and scary (this is my main work machine), but I also did learn a bunch.
For example, that LVM is basically an interface over device-mapper, and when something gets fscked in a weird way, you can use dmsetup directly to un-fsck it.

Linux tip: `ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20` shows top CPU-consuming processes. Replace `-%cpu` with `-%mem` for memory usage. The `--sort` flag works with any column name from `ps` output. #Linux #Performance
Use `sudo !!` to repeat your last command with root privileges. Try `cd $(dirname !!)` to change to the directory of the last command's target. Saves retyping long commands.

Guess what app you need to connect from #macOS to #Linux (via Remote Desktop Protocol)?
It's the #Windows App.

Apparently someone can't say "Linux" without getting a lecture about "No, it's GNU/Linux, you stupid!"
And people wonder why Linux is only at ~5% market share on Desktop...
It's all about how welcome you feel: If you feel like you've just "invaded" someone's "holy place", then this doesn't feel so welcome, does it!?

Can I share sound from my Android phone to my Linux PC? There are so many more apps for streaming music on Android than Linux.
KDE Connect doesn't have that feature.
I don’t want using my computer to be like a game of Russian roulette
I've been terribly sick for a few days so we've got some catching up to. Let's first take a look at how Windows is doing.
People often say Linux is "too much work." And I agree. They're completely justified to complain. There's the documentation page diving, the forums, the reddit threads. And, mo
