--> 00:04:39,190 like having my son do make or tech with me connecting gpio on a Raspberry Pi to 192 00:04:39,190 --> 00:04:39,200 me connecting gpio on a Raspberry Pi to 193 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,260 me connecting gpio on a Raspberry Pi to some circuit that I'm about to blow up 194 00:04:41,260 --> 00:04:41,270 some circuit that I'm about to blow up 195 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:43,360 some circuit that I'm about to blow up you know that kind of stuff so we try to 196 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:43,370 you know that kind of stuff so we try to 197 00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:44,290 you know that kind of stuff so we try to do things together 198 00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:44,300 do things together 199 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:48,190 do things together teaching them right learning learning 200 00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:48,200 teaching them right learning learning 201 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,550 teaching them right learning learning and bringing them along for the ride 202 00:04:51,550 --> 00:04:51,560 and bringing them along for the ride 203 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,219 and bringing them along for the ride so you know because I'm always on a 204 00:04:54,219 --> 00:04:54,229 so you know because I'm always on a 205 00:04:54,229 --> 00:04:57,279 so you know because I'm always on a quest to learn I'm never I'm never happy 206 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:57,289 quest to learn I'm never I'm never happy 207 00:04:57,289 --> 00:04:59,620 quest to learn I'm never I'm never happy with like I'm never at that point where 208 00:04:59,620 --> 00:04:59,630 with like I'm never at that point where 209 00:04:59,630 --> 00:05:02,320 with like I'm never at that point where I'm done I know all there is to know I 210 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,330 I'm done I know all there is to know I 211 00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:04,510 I'm done I know all there is to know I don't need to learn more I'm caught if I 212 00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:04,520 don't need to learn more I'm caught if I 213 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,310 don't need to learn more I'm caught if I get to the point where okay I know 214 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:06,320 get to the point where okay I know 215 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,469 get to the point where okay I know enough about one topic I'm moving on to 216 00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:08,479 enough about one topic I'm moving on to 217 00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:10,689 enough about one topic I'm moving on to something else so I like to bring them 218 00:05:10,689 --> 00:05:10,699 something else so I like to bring them 219 00:05:10,699 --> 00:05:14,830 something else so I like to bring them with me right well let's go down his 220 00:05:14,830 --> 00:05:14,840 with me right well let's go down his 221 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,860 with me right well let's go down his history lane and go back to the 222 00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:17,870 history lane and go back to the 223 00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:20,950 history lane and go back to the beginning of your computers 224 00:05:20,950 --> 00:05:20,960 beginning of your computers 225 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,170 beginning of your computers what was the first computer that you 226 00:05:23,170 --> 00:05:23,180 what was the first computer that you 227 00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:26,260 what was the first computer that you used the what I would attribute what I 228 00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:26,270 used the what I would attribute what I 229 00:05:26,270 --> 00:05:27,999 used the what I would attribute what I would say is the first computer that I 230 00:05:27,999 --> 00:05:28,009 would say is the first computer that I 231 00:05:28,009 --> 00:05:29,860 would say is the first computer that I ever sat down and coded on would have 232 00:05:29,860 --> 00:05:29,870 ever sat down and coded on would have 233 00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:33,040 ever sat down and coded on would have been the vic-20 and I used that thing 234 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:33,050 been the vic-20 and I used that thing 235 00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:35,980 been the vic-20 and I used that thing like crazy like I got to the point where 236 00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:35,990 like crazy like I got to the point where 237 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:38,770 like crazy like I got to the point where I was writing code at you know five six 238 00:05:38,770 --> 00:05:38,780 I was writing code at you know five six 239 00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:42,490 I was writing code at you know five six years old which incidentally you know I 240 00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:42,500 years old which incidentally you know I 241 00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,020 years old which incidentally you know I always thought oh that's crazy like 242 00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:44,030 always thought oh that's crazy like 243 00:05:44,030 --> 00:05:46,749 always thought oh that's crazy like coding at six years old and then my sons 244 00:05:46,749 --> 00:05:46,759 coding at six years old and then my sons 245 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:50,350 coding at six years old and then my sons have done the same and you know my nine 246 00:05:50,350 --> 00:05:50,360 have done the same and you know my nine 247 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,560 have done the same and you know my nine year old now our youngest is is coding 248 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:53,570 year old now our youngest is is coding 249 00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:55,540 year old now our youngest is is coding in roblox and it's and it's so that 250 00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:55,550 in roblox and it's and it's so that 251 00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:59,040 in roblox and it's and it's so that throws me back to those days and and I 252 00:05:59,040 --> 00:05:59,050 throws me back to those days and and I 253 00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:02,170 throws me back to those days and and I really like that time where computers we 254 00:06:02,170 --> 00:06:02,180 really like that time where computers we 255 00:06:02,180 --> 00:06:03,850 really like that time where computers we understood how they worked we understood 256 00:06:03,850 --> 00:06:03,860 understood how they worked we understood 257 00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:06,010 understood how they worked we understood the inner workings of them so taking 258 00:06:06,010 --> 00:06:06,020 the inner workings of them so taking 259 00:06:06,020 --> 00:06:08,320 the inner workings of them so taking apart the Commodore vic-20 was something 260 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:08,330 apart the Commodore vic-20 was something 261 00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:10,330 apart the Commodore vic-20 was something that I was familiar with but but the 262 00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:10,340 that I was familiar with but but the 263 00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:13,060 that I was familiar with but but the first real computer like PC would have 264 00:06:13,060 --> 00:06:13,070 first real computer like PC would have 265 00:06:13,070 --> 00:06:17,230 first real computer like PC would have been an XT which as funny as it is this 266 00:06:17,230 --> 00:06:17,240 been an XT which as funny as it is this 267 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,409 been an XT which as funny as it is this big old IBM system that like is a boat 268 00:06:20,409 --> 00:06:20,419 big old IBM system that like is a boat 269 00:06:20,419 --> 00:06:24,339 big old IBM system that like is a boat anchor as we say I wasn't allowed to 270 00:06:24,339 --> 00:06:24,349 anchor as we say I wasn't allowed to 271 00:06:24,349 --> 00:06:27,670 anchor as we say I wasn't allowed to have a computer so it was under blankets 272 00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:27,680 have a computer so it was under blankets 273 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,070 have a computer so it was under blankets hidden in my closet like that that's the 274 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:30,080 hidden in my closet like that that's the 275 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,790 hidden in my closet like that that's the kind of nerd I am that as a child I hid 276 00:06:33,790 --> 00:06:33,800 kind of nerd I am that as a child I hid 277 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,399 kind of nerd I am that as a child I hid an XT computer in my closet so that my 278 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:39,409 an XT computer in my closet so that my 279 00:06:39,409 --> 00:06:40,659 an XT computer in my closet so that my dad wouldn't find it and get me in 280 00:06:40,659 --> 00:06:40,669 dad wouldn't find it and get me in 281 00:06:40,669 --> 00:06:41,170 dad wouldn't find it and get me in trouble 282 00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:41,180 trouble 283 00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:44,620 trouble I don't I I can't even imagine what I 284 00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:44,630 I don't I I can't even imagine what I 285 00:06:44,630 --> 00:06:46,439 I don't I I can't even imagine what I did with the monitor I don't know how I 286 00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:46,449 did with the monitor I don't know how I 287 00:06:46,449 --> 00:06:48,730 did with the monitor I don't know how I figured out how to hide a CRT monitor 288 00:06:48,730 --> 00:06:48,740 figured out how to hide a CRT monitor 289 00:06:48,740 --> 00:06:51,610 figured out how to hide a CRT monitor find it I can't imagine he didn't but he 290 00:06:51,610 --> 00:06:51,620 find it I can't imagine he didn't but he 291 00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:53,830 find it I can't imagine he didn't but he never mentioned it so I think he 292 00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:53,840 never mentioned it so I think he 293 00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,050 never mentioned it so I think he probably must have known but my naive 294 00:06:56,050 --> 00:06:56,060 probably must have known but my naive 295 00:06:56,060 --> 00:06:58,899 probably must have known but my naive stupid kid mind thinks that oh that dad 296 00:06:58,899 --> 00:06:58,909 stupid kid mind thinks that oh that dad 297 00:06:58,909 --> 00:07:00,879 stupid kid mind thinks that oh that dad doesn't know and it's like this massive 298 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:00,889 doesn't know and it's like this massive 299 00:07:00,889 --> 00:07:05,890 doesn't know and it's like this massive computer now how long is it before you 300 00:07:05,890 --> 00:07:05,900 computer now how long is it before you 301 00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:09,459 computer now how long is it before you make the switch to Linux well then those 302 00:07:09,459 --> 00:07:09,469 make the switch to Linux well then those 303 00:07:09,469 --> 00:07:11,620 make the switch to Linux well then those windows was a complete switch yeah 304 00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:11,630 windows was a complete switch yeah 305 00:07:11,630 --> 00:07:14,890 windows was a complete switch yeah complete switch right from there yeah I 306 00:07:14,890 --> 00:07:14,900 complete switch right from there yeah I 307 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:17,740 complete switch right from there yeah I used an early version of Adobe Photoshop 308 00:07:17,740 --> 00:07:17,750 used an early version of Adobe Photoshop 309 00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:21,219 used an early version of Adobe Photoshop in wine because the old version ran fine 310 00:07:21,219 --> 00:07:21,229 in wine because the old version ran fine 311 00:07:21,229 --> 00:07:23,709 in wine because the old version ran fine under under wine so and then as soon as 312 00:07:23,709 --> 00:07:23,719 under under wine so and then as soon as 313 00:07:23,719 --> 00:07:26,740 under under wine so and then as soon as like cs2 came out it was no longer it 314 00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:26,750 like cs2 came out it was no longer it 315 00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:28,180 like cs2 came out it was no longer it wasn't working quite what real quite 316 00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:28,190 wasn't working quite what real quite 317 00:07:28,190 --> 00:07:29,920 wasn't working quite what real quite right so because back then was 318 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:29,930 right so because back then was 319 00:07:29,930 --> 00:07:33,690 right so because back then was really bad but they've since fixed 320 00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:33,700 really bad but they've since fixed 321 00:07:33,700 --> 00:07:38,160 really bad but they've since fixed with 2.10 so like scaling is it's a lot 322 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:38,170 with 2.10 so like scaling is it's a lot 323 00:07:38,170 --> 00:07:41,820 with 2.10 so like scaling is it's a lot better now but yeah Lindos was about the 324 00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:41,830 better now but yeah Lindos was about the 325 00:07:41,830 --> 00:07:43,950 better now but yeah Lindos was about the time when I switched I mean I said I'm 326 00:07:43,950 --> 00:07:43,960 time when I switched I mean I said I'm 327 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080 time when I switched I mean I said I'm not name dropping it was it was a 328 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,090 not name dropping it was it was a 329 00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:48,210 not name dropping it was it was a classic distro they got sued by 330 00:07:48,210 --> 00:07:48,220 classic distro they got sued by 331 00:07:48,220 --> 00:07:50,790 classic distro they got sued by Microsoft for for the name they had to 332 00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:50,800 Microsoft for for the name they had to 333 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,650 Microsoft for for the name they had to change it to Lynne spire which made no 334 00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:52,660 change it to Lynne spire which made no 335 00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:55,230 change it to Lynne spire which made no sense and then they and in typical 336 00:07:55,230 --> 00:07:55,240 sense and then they and in typical 337 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,600 sense and then they and in typical michael robertson style he just fired 338 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:57,610 michael robertson style he just fired 339 00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,610 michael robertson style he just fired everybody and sold the company and all 340 00:07:59,610 --> 00:07:59,620 everybody and sold the company and all 341 00:07:59,620 --> 00:08:01,800 everybody and sold the company and all the creative rights and everything and 342 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:01,810 the creative rights and everything and 343 00:08:01,810 --> 00:08:05,270 the creative rights and everything and now it's owned by somebody else but yeah 344 00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:05,280 now it's owned by somebody else but yeah 345 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,360 now it's owned by somebody else but yeah but that got me to love debian debian 346 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:09,370 but that got me to love debian debian 347 00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:12,060 but that got me to love debian debian got me to love Ubuntu Ubuntu got me to 348 00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:12,070 got me to love Ubuntu Ubuntu got me to 349 00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:16,320 got me to love Ubuntu Ubuntu got me to love Mark Shuttleworth and the whole the 350 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:16,330 love Mark Shuttleworth and the whole the 351 00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:20,670 love Mark Shuttleworth and the whole the whole ecosystem of realizing that you 352 00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:20,680 whole ecosystem of realizing that you 353 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,320 whole ecosystem of realizing that you can run a business based on support 354 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:22,330 can run a business based on support 355 00:08:22,330 --> 00:08:26,310 can run a business based on support rather than product I think that that 356 00:08:26,310 --> 00:08:26,320 rather than product I think that that 357 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,890 rather than product I think that that was kind of a revelation for me too 358 00:08:28,890 --> 00:08:28,900 was kind of a revelation for me too 359 00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:31,980 was kind of a revelation for me too so so it's it's like everybody like you 360 00:08:31,980 --> 00:08:31,990 so so it's it's like everybody like you 361 00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:34,469 so so it's it's like everybody like you kind of move along with the waves and 362 00:08:34,469 --> 00:08:34,479 kind of move along with the waves and 363 00:08:34,479 --> 00:08:36,180

right now I run Linux Mint 19 like it's that's I'm old 366 00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:40,630 Linux Mint 19 like it's that's I'm old 367 00:08:40,630 --> 00:08:42,800 Linux Mint 19 like it's that's I'm old school so I like the Matei interface 368 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:42,810 school so I like the Matei interface 369 00:08:42,810 --> 00:08:45,510 school so I like the Matei interface well I was gonna ask you so why do you 370 00:08:45,510 --> 00:08:45,520 well I was gonna ask you so why do you 371 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,240 well I was gonna ask you so why do you we've tried all of them so why did you 372 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:48,250 we've tried all of them so why did you 373 00:08:48,250 --> 00:08:51,630 we've tried all of them so why did you stick with Linux Mint I've been with it 374 00:08:51,630 --> 00:08:51,640 stick with Linux Mint I've been with it 375 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,930 stick with Linux Mint I've been with it since nineteen was released and that's 376 00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:53,940 since nineteen was released and that's 377 00:08:53,940 --> 00:08:58,170 since nineteen was released and that's mainly because it was it just is a 378 00:08:58,170 --> 00:08:58,180 mainly because it was it just is a 379 00:08:58,180 --> 00:09:00,150 mainly because it was it just is a brilliant out-of-the-box experience I 380 00:09:00,150 --> 00:09:00,160 brilliant out-of-the-box experience I 381 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,850 brilliant out-of-the-box experience I didn't I kind of I fell out of love with 382 00:09:02,850 --> 00:09:02,860 didn't I kind of I fell out of love with 383 00:09:02,860 --> 00:09:05,540 didn't I kind of I fell out of love with a boon to for a little while because of 384 00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:05,550 a boon to for a little while because of 385 00:09:05,550 --> 00:09:09,060 a boon to for a little while because of unity unity made me fall out of love 386 00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:09,070 unity unity made me fall out of love 387 00:09:09,070 --> 00:09:11,240 unity unity made me fall out of love with a pun - you weren't a fan 388 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:11,250 with a pun - you weren't a fan 389 00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:17,550 with a pun - you weren't a fan definitely not no and I very much am a 390 00:09:17,550 --> 00:09:17,560 definitely not no and I very much am a 391 00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:20,910 definitely not no and I very much am a little old-school in my desktop paradigm 392 00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:20,920 little old-school in my desktop paradigm 393 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,870 little old-school in my desktop paradigm so I say I prefer Matei I really do I 394 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:24,880 so I say I prefer Matei I really do I 395 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,300 so I say I prefer Matei I really do I really do like that interface like 396 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:27,310 really do like that interface like 397 00:09:27,310 --> 00:09:30,060 really do like that interface like that's where uncomfortable so Linux Mint 398 00:09:30,060 --> 00:09:30,070 that's where uncomfortable so Linux Mint 399 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:33,120 that's where uncomfortable so Linux Mint with matei is a fantastic distro out of 400 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:33,130 with matei is a fantastic distro out of 401 00:09:33,130 --> 00:09:39,300 with matei is a fantastic distro out of the box everything works and they still 402 00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:39,310 the box everything works and they still 403 00:09:39,310 --> 00:09:43,020 the box everything works and they still support campus which brings me all kinds 404 00:09:43,020 --> 00:09:43,030 support campus which brings me all kinds 405 00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:45,350 support campus which brings me all kinds of nerd joy 406 00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:45,360 of nerd joy 407 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,259 of nerd joy well um you know not to sway you or 408 00:09:48,259 --> 00:09:48,269 well um you know not to sway you or 409 00:09:48,269 --> 00:09:50,090 well um you know not to sway you or anything not the temperature to distro 410 00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:50,100 anything not the temperature to distro 411 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:51,829 anything not the temperature to distro hot but have you tried a bun to Ma Tei 412 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:51,839 hot but have you tried a bun to Ma Tei 413 00:09:51,839 --> 00:09:54,350 hot but have you tried a bun to Ma Tei and compared it to like oh yeah yeah 414 00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:54,360 and compared it to like oh yeah yeah 415 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,840 and compared it to like oh yeah yeah what Martin and and Pope

run 418 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,010 is fantastic work and and I have run 419 00:10:02,010 --> 00:10:04,160 is fantastic work and and I have run that on some of my lower end systems and 420 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:04,170 that on some of my lower end systems and 421 00:10:04,170 --> 00:10:06,139 that on some of my lower end systems and I love it I've had it on laptops and 422 00:10:06,139 --> 00:10:06,149 I love it I've had it on laptops and 423 00:10:06,149 --> 00:10:10,280 I love it I've had it on laptops and stuff nothing my choice to use Linux 424 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:10,290 stuff nothing my choice to use Linux 425 00:10:10,290 --> 00:10:13,310 stuff nothing my choice to use Linux Mint right now is not to say that 426 00:10:13,310 --> 00:10:13,320 Mint right now is not to say that 427 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,400 Mint right now is not to say that Lubuntu Matea is not brilliant it really 428 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:16,410 Lubuntu Matea is not brilliant it really 429 00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:20,290 Lubuntu Matea is not brilliant it really is but this is just where I've landed 430 00:10:20,290 --> 00:10:20,300 is but this is just where I've landed 431 00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:23,300 is but this is just where I've landed yeah when you know how things work under 432 00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:23,310 yeah when you know how things work under 433 00:10:23,310 --> 00:10:24,710 yeah when you know how things work under the hood a lot of stuff is very similar 434 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:24,720 the hood a lot of stuff is very similar 435 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,750 the hood a lot of stuff is very similar so it's really just finding a stable 436 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:26,760 so it's really just finding a stable 437 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,310 so it's really just finding a stable distro that works out of the box that 438 00:10:28,310 --> 00:10:28,320 distro that works out of the box that 439 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,930 distro that works out of the box that doesn't waste a lot of your time setting 440 00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:29,940 doesn't waste a lot of your time setting 441 00:10:29,940 --> 00:10:35,329 doesn't waste a lot of your time setting it up because I use Linux Mint at at 442 00:10:35,329 --> 00:10:35,339 it up because I use Linux Mint at at 443 00:10:35,339 --> 00:10:38,230 it up because I use Linux Mint at at work I need something that I can like 444 00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:38,240 work I need something that I can like 445 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,819 work I need something that I can like reinstall in and be up and running in an 446 00:10:40,819 --> 00:10:40,829 reinstall in and be up and running in an 447 00:10:40,829 --> 00:10:43,610 reinstall in and be up and running in an hour and you know back in business kind 448 00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:43,620 hour and you know back in business kind 449 00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:45,259 hour and you know back in business kind of things so it's worked not that I 450 00:10:45,259 --> 00:10:45,269 of things so it's worked not that I 451 00:10:45,269 --> 00:10:46,490 of things so it's worked not that I couldn't do that with we're going to 452 00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:46,500 couldn't do that with we're going to 453 00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:49,190 couldn't do that with we're going to Matei it's just where you are it's just 454 00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:49,200 Matei it's just where you are it's just 455 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,620 Matei it's just where you are it's just where I'm at yeah and I think that makes 456 00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:51,630 where I'm at yeah and I think that makes 457 00:10:51,630 --> 00:10:53,569 where I'm at yeah and I think that makes it really confusing too for for new 458 00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:53,579 it really confusing too for for new 459 00:10:53,579 --> 00:10:56,360 it really confusing too for for new Linux users because well which which 460 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:56,370 Linux users because well which which 461 00:10:56,370 --> 00:10:58,180 Linux users because well which which flavour should I go with which distro 462 00:10:58,180 --> 00:10:58,190 flavour should I go with which distro 463 00:10:58,190 --> 00:11:01,160 flavour should I go with which distro why Ubuntu might a versus Linux Mint 464 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,170 why Ubuntu might a versus Linux Mint 465 00:11:01,170 --> 00:11:04,790 why Ubuntu might a versus Linux Mint with matei the it's really they're all 466 00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:04,800 with matei the it's really they're all 467 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,030 with matei the it's really they're all very very similar so it's community it's 468 00:11:08,030 --> 00:11:08,040 very very similar so it's community it's 469 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,550 very very similar so it's community it's the ecosystem of the distro itself it's 470 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:10,560 the ecosystem of the distro itself it's 471 00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:12,710 the ecosystem of the distro itself it's you know where where's the support that 472 00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:12,720 you know where where's the support that 473 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,170 you know where where's the support that you know I don't need support so I'm not 474 00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:15,180 you know I don't need support so I'm not 475 00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:16,850 you know I don't need support so I'm not really caring about that so much but a 476 00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:16,860 really caring about that so much but a 477 00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:21,380 really caring about that so much but a novice user would so yep you can watch 478 00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:21,390 novice user would so yep you can watch 479 00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:24,199 novice user would so yep you can watch the full interview on Linux spotlight at 480 00:11:24,199
