#explainingcomputers — Public Fediverse posts

The things you didn't even know you had to worry about. Watched an #ExplainingComputers video last night on "Secure Boot Certificate Expiry (Windows & Linux)". As best as I can tell, I should be okay since I don't have it active:

bok@sqr128zena:~$
sudo mokutil --sb-state
[sudo] password for bok:
SecureBoot disabled
Platform is in Setup Mode

I hope so, since the update command fails:

bok@sqr128zena:~$ sudo fwupdmgr update

Devices with no available firmware updates:

Recenze #Fedora44 očima uživatele Mintu/Ubuntu, co na to říct..... a jo, fakt vím, kdo je Christopher Barnatt a jeho #ExplainingComputers, o to víc to nechápu, ale asi jsem úplně zdegenerovanej 😃 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZR-J3XBX4

@hackaday
Yesterday's #ExplainingComputers video would be worth watching, to support this article.

Welcome to another videooh!

Just stumbled over this @pop_os_official review from #ExplainingComputers. I must admit, the cosmic desktop looks far more interesting than I would have expected. Nice job, @system76 !

I\ve seen some interesting stuff being done by #ZorinOS 18:

I think we could learn some things about their OOB experience.

The GOAT #ExplainingComputers is back, and this time with a blast from the past - #Commodore.

This video is a trip for me, not because I used to use a Commodore - we had an Amiga at some point - but because of how they setup the #Mate desktop,

It's not just the wobbly windows though, or the exploding windows, or the #cyberpunk feel of it - but that it's your traditional "came in a DVD" #LinuxDistribution, all bells and whistles included... about 90GB+ of #software.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auFPFiSC6OE

I saw a video from #ExplainingComputers youtube video how #ReactOS has improved.

It is still buggy but surprisingly it works decently now than before.

Admittedly though I only tried on vmware and not on bare metal so it may end up similar to danooct1's reactos baremetal videos

That feeling when #ExplainingComputers responds to your comment about #AlpineLinux on #RISCV. :)

Fortunately, when I specified my dual-boot computer (Windows and Linux), I followed the advice on the excellent www.explainingcomputers.com website with Windows on one drive and Linux on a different one. As a result, I don't use "grub" to switch between Windows and Linux.

Thank you, Christopher Barnatt!

A really great YT channel that has finally cracked the deserved one million subscribers! Check it out! Rarely seen such a fantastic old school desktop as here. I love it! ❤️

Really enjoyed the recent @LateNightLinux episode 267 where they interview Chris Barnatt from the outstanding #explainingcomputers Youtube channel around some of the unfortunate aspects of the #linux community, gatekeeping, and why being more pragmatic about our open source evangelism.

https://latenightlinux.com/late-night-linux-episode-267/

Big up to these folks in general. The Late Night Linux family are, the only Linux podcasts I listen to. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Listening to the latest @LateNightLinux what a fantastic guest to have on! We've been a fan of #explainingcomputers for years 😁

Very good points indeed. Especially about the FOSS crusade.

I’ll admit to being a layman, when it comes to #ai

But found this piece from #ExplainingComputers quite interesting.

Everyone looking at #raspberrypi alternatives right now: There are a lot of interesting #SBC out there but many of them are documented really bad, have hardly any support and come with software/drivers in beta state. I recommend checking out @cnxsoft and the #ExplainingComputers YouTube channel if you want to learn more: https://youtube.com/@ExplainingComputers
