• Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.

• Easy listening – extremely helpful for a beginner using Linux

• Actualizat configurația aplicație Google windows

• Again, wow, what an overview. I wish you'd do the same for learning Linux apps that are popular. This would really help people. You have such a talent at doing this.

• Great videos for a Linux noob like me. Thanks.

• THANK YOU.

• Your videos are really helpful.

• I have a SSD of 500gb and I just added a WD HDD of 1TB I want to have 2 disks one would be the default SSD where I installed Ubuntu, aplications and updates are done and the other would be HDD which I added later it would be used as storage for media files like pictures, videos, music and documents for example. Can you make a video on how to format and add a HDD on Ubuntu in Gparted or Disk utilities (not terminal since I'm begginer or partition where you split the disk).

• I had heard of Ubuntu a hundred times, but this is the first time ever seeing it! Your walkthroughs have been so helpful, thank you 🙂

• i dont get that option to change the pic for my lockscreen

• How can I connect my internet to my PC???

• you skipped thunderbolt, is it because ubuntu cant get it working yet?

• can you do a video on putting the ubuntu dock to dash i mean like in mac if there is a vid please put the link thanks in advance

• i wanted to know one thing , suppose if i am in a meeting(in google meet for example), and suddenly i wanted to open an important application , but whenever i click the bottom left button(probably called the app drawer), it shows all the apps on a full screen , and if something important is shown in the meeting, then i would not be able to view it , so is there a way to make it like the windows thing , like a list comes in the bottom left. and can we do a preview internet search in this os? cuz u can do it in mac os and windows

• Some updates with 20.04
  No settings gear at bottom in search options 20.04.
  Look at the top tool bar and you'll see search locations: Left click on search options then other: Then the + to add other locations. May need to mount drives before seeing other hard drives in the options. No Ubuntu software option.
  Device settings. All device setting are separated now
  display
  Keyboard
  Mouse and touch pad
  etc..

• After watching this my IQ lvl has raised up 🤣♥️

• I have now seen the third of your Ubuntu tutorials and these tutorials are the best ones I have seen so far. Now even I (absolute noob) understand very much 👍👍👍

  Nevertheless I have got some questions:

  1. According to the settings: When I buy a new Laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled on it* can I directly start (out of the box) or are there some extremely important settings I have to do before going online to be safe and get no virus?
  (I have seen another video (but it was another distribution) where for example some important update-settings were made ("update everything or excluding the kernel"… I can´t really remember) or where one had to activate the firewall and so on).

  *I want to buy this Laptop: https://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/laptops-2-in-1-pcs/inspiron-14-3000/spd/inspiron-14-3480-laptop/cn38404

  2. Do I have to install an antivirus-program?

  3. Which browser should one use for maximal security (no matter if it´s slow)? Is there a special Linux-browser or does one use the popular browsers (firefox, chrome) on Linux too?

  4. Do you think it´s MUCH more secure to use Linux for Bitcoin transactions?
  Because I want to buy the Lapton for only one reason: To transfer Bitcoin from an exchange to my hardware wallet. This means I only put the so called Ledger Life App (the App of my hardware wallet but you certainly know this much better than me 😁) onto the Laptop (nothing else) and transfer once in a moth bitcoin from an exchange to my hardware wallet. There will be no other need for this Laptop.

  Now I wonder: Is it better for security to use Linux (Ubuntu) but with a person (me) that doesn´t know much about Linux or
  is it better to use Windows (with a antivirus-program and only the Ledger Life-App) with a person that knows a little bit about the system 🤔

  Maybe the safety is the same with Windows if I only use this one app once in a month and nothing else 🤷‍♂️

  Or maybe Ubuntu is even MORE insecure for my purpose as virus-programmers know that most people don´t use a antivirus-software on Linux why they program a trojan especially for the Linux-Ledger Life-App and not for the Windows-Ledger Life-App 🤷‍♂️

  You see I kow absolutely nothing 😁 but I use a lot of emoticons 😁😁😁

  Many thanks for reading this novel! 😜

• Thank you very much for your useful informations and may God all mighty reward you for your informations that you showed us

• Ubuntu is the only one that works out of the box. I dont have interest for arch or whatever. 🤷🏼‍♂️

• I logged in to Microsoft Outlook account in Linux Mint's online accounts. But it's not showing me Onedrive like Google drive in the files.

• First
