your public IP will always be the same for anything behind a NAT. You cannot have 2 IPs with 1 connection. you have private IPs and Public IPs. you can set up port forwarding if you have access to the router to allow public access to a pc through a specific port, but the IPs will be the same. 

ask you dad first if there is something important on that drive before you format it.

yes. when you install your OS, there is always an option to change the partitions somewhere. and if you're using windows at least, it has the option to format it right there. 

well what i said (ignoring the 1st paragraph) still applies to what you said, including your response just now. you need to stop being so damn combative. idk about everyone, but many perceive linux to be a fringe "neckbeard" OS and the way you are taking here isnt changing that image people have.

Its not linus's job to know exactly how everything works, thats the fucking point of the video. hes learning, and showing you his journey. if he didnt know majaro does not come with apt and uses pacman, thats not his fault. obs not supported on majaro officially is not his fault either.
if you want to be pedantic about it, bash technically does have a way to find out what distro you are using.
ever heard of neofetch or is that just bloat to you, mr arch btw?

i think you need to chill...
 
Linus nuked his pop installation because he got a wall of text and didnt read what it said in its entirety. are you saying you read the entire terms and conditions when you sign up for something? Probably not. you just click next/accept. thats the same thing linus did. there was no indication for a normal person that this command would nuke his computer. thats the point of the video. to show what its like for the normal person. This situation was Pop_os's fault, not linus. they had some problems with the dependancies which have now been fixed. 
 
you need to see this from the perspective of a NORMAL person who does not know how to use a computer and 99% of the time just uses their computer as a web browser. Linus uses windows, so I dont expect him to fully understand how linux works. sure, he uses it daily for all of the networking stuff etc, but still. his main system is windows. 
 
im going to go out on a limb and say YOU are the reason people dont use linux.

Microsoft has gone too far…
 
As I am sitting on my couch and furiously typing this on my laptop, my desktop is being reset. Why? Because of Microsoft’s idiotic decision to make Windows 11 automatically sync THE ENTIRE F#@$%&# DESKTOP with OneDrive upon setup of the computer.
 
Now before you tell me I should have gone into OneDrive and turned off the option to sync everything before uninstalling. (which you would be correct), I would like to provide some backstory.

The time was 12:00 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. The sky was clear and the air was brisk, my dog was moving with excitement as she knew we would soon go to the dog park. Before we did leave however, I decided to factory reset my desktop. The reason being is that I wanted to turn it into a full development environment for myself as I have been learning website/webapp development (I like that new desktop feel from resetting). I let the process run, and before I knew it I was on the setup screen. I swiftly went through and disabled data collection and set up the pc for use. After that I felt confident that I could load all the software and files I need on the computer and left for the dog park.

Later when I returned, everything was set up nicely. I then decided to go through the system and delete some of Microsoft’s lovely bloatware like I always do. This was including the uninstall of OneDrive. Upon doing so, everything seemed pretty normal. I then rebooted my PC and logged in. Immediately I noticed something was off. None of the software was opening, my files were gone, and upon opening the file explorer, my documents shortcut, desktop shortcut, music shortcut, photos shortcut etc… WERE GONE. I was slightly frustrated so I decided to do a little digging. I went into my system files, went to users, and then clicked my account. The shortcuts were there in the users folder! I was so relieved. Upon discovering this I went to open the documents shortcut. I clicked it and…. Nothing. “Okay, that’s odd.” I thought, and went to open the desktop shortcut, and again, nothing. At this point I was furious, I did more digging and found that these were all linked to the OneDrive directory, WHICH I UNINSTALLED. At this point I was ready to go. Go where you might ask? Well thanks for asking! I simply was ready to go shove my desktop and peripherals right up Microsoft’s @$$.
 
In conclusion I ended up just saying fuck it and resetting the entire PC again. I did not want to take the time to reconfigure and set up new file paths for everything. At least I know I won’t make this mistake again.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Sincerely,
A random Stranger who needed to vent.

Did you actually read what you typed ?
 
yeah, and do you understand that when you're in a browser, it means the .gif link I pointed to above is actually a HTML file, not a GIF file. You've admitted yourself it's a GUI element, and as such, can very well end with a HTML extension since that's exactly what it is. You're aware that both the front end (the webpage) and backend (the git files) are already separated, when I pull a project, I get the files, not the HTML pages github is hosting.
 
It's honestly baffling that you're saying Linus doesn't understand browser while you're spouting all that.

I’m shocked this thread is still going. Lol. 
 
Again, I am a relatively advanced PC user, and it took me about 30-45 minutes to figure out how to fork a project and submit a pull request. I have done that once for a truenas script edit I made to add encryption to a config backup email, and that was so “painful” I probably will never do it again. GitHub can certainly be learned, but if your not the target audience as linus and I both am not, you just have better things to do with your time then learn GitHub and/or learn linux.
 
This shouldn’t even be much of a debate…. Linux is much more powerful. The world runs on it. But it’s managed by literal “professionals” who specialize in certain aspects of infrastructure. Your main linux guy isn’t also going to be your main networking guy, or your storage array guy, or your widows VDI guy, etc, etc, etc. 

Thanks for proving my point that this has nothing to do with browser knowledge but is because of github 👍

As I explained, when the LINK is showing a file extension, the expectation is that you'll get the file, not an HTML file with a different extension, that's a flaw with how github presents it's links.
 
this will get me a PNG ;

 
This will get me a webpage ;

 
This will get me a webpage with a GIF extension (regardless of OS) ;

 
 
That is 100% a GUI flaw with Github and has nothing to do with browser knowledge.

Only because of how github works ... if the link points to a file, then you'll get that file and not a HTML file.
ie ; if the link points to a PNG, I'll get a PNG, not an HTML file with a PNG extension.
 
So, who doesn't know how a browser works now ?
 
Clip in case it's not clear ;
 

2022 truly is the year of the Linux desktop.
 
2023 truly is the year of the Linux desktop.
 
2024 truly is the year of the Linux desktop.
 
2025 truly is the year of the Linux desktop.

If you have to search the web to find out how to do something, it's unintuitive. 
 
(I mean how to do the something, if you generally know what something is, not the something itself)
 
If you disagree with that you don't know what something being intuitive/unintuitive is.
And yes, something being intuitive is only s good thing.

Im glad we could all come together to explain why this person is wrong in a constructive manner rather than becoming twitter and bashing people

So i just rewatched part2 and found the part you're talking about.
 
He only needed to download a single file, the install.sh, so not only will there not be a release for just that one file, your other "solution" was to download the code .zip. but why? if he only needs one file, download that one file. and yes, right clicking on something that is presumed to be the file and clicking "save link as" i would expect that i would be downloading the file directly.
 
Here's a site i'm very familiar with, similar layout to github, huggingface.
 

 
say i wanted to only get the config.json, right click
 

save link as
 

 
oh, what's that? it's saying as a .json and not a .html?
 
but wait, you said:
 
Could it maybe be that github is actually just shit?
 
 

So you're just going to join in with the people talking about what a user-unfriendly website GitHub is now while still holding Linus at fault for not knowing how to use it?

Right. But would it make sense to switch the throttle and brake pedals in a car and just expect people to be used to it right away? Say MIT, CAL TECH, NASA, and the equivalent scientific bodies all came up with some proof having the throttle pedal on the right caused 85% of people to be 15% slower in a critical emergency braking situation then if it was reversed. So we had a CLEAR life saving reason to try and change this….. do you know how difficult it would be to actually do? Your asking for people to try and adopt something that is not familiar to them…. For no apparent reason. It’s difficult to convince people to change especially when there is no a reason to. People are used to Windows, and that is something linux users have to accept. For better or worse. If you want to drive linux adoption, you must cater to the masses. 
 
See, this I objectively disagree with. iPhones are objectively easier to use. Some may not prefer the experience, but just about anyone who touches an iPhone who has ever used any technology knows how to get around. They may not be an expert, but they will be able to interact with the device in a capable way… apple is very good at this, Microsoft isn’t, linux devs aren’t. It’s just a fact of life. 
 
That has literally nothing to do with this, that’s a red hearing argument. Enterprise runs on linux because it’s extremely stable - but it’s being managed by IT professionals, not your average user. Enterprise backends are also mostly headless, so again, 99.999% of people wouldn’t even know how to login to a headless server, or interact with a shell. I’m sorry, but your proving my point for me. 
 
Linux is BY FAR more powerful and much more stable then windows, but with great power comes great learning curves; learning curves most people do not want anything to do with. 
 
Yes, I have considered doing this for family members as well to reduce issues. But… if I gave my dad linux, he would want to instal a program, he would go to the website, download the exe, double click the exe, and be confused why it didn’t do anything… if you give a decently fluent PC user a linux machine, they wouldn’t know how to do anything beyond use what was already installed. It’s just not the same. You and I understand the difference, and we understand package managers - most people don’t, and again, that’s just life.
