  1. There are a few things I'd like to address: 1. Dolphin has a refresh button. You can either use F5 to get it or select it under the "View" Option in then menu bar (if activated). Since it's a KDE app after all, I'm pretty sure you can also add a button for it to the toolbar. 2. I agree with the complain about not being able to run dolphin as root. It's something we have a patch for in openSUSE, but it's also something a lot of KDE devs criticize us for having it. I still think it's good to have it though. If I remember correctly, unpatched Dolphin just does not start if you try to force it to run as root by e.g. using xdg-su dolphin 3. About that community thing near the end of the video: Yes, there are toxic people. But toxic people are something you have in every Community, you can't do anything about it. I think we can all agree that we would be better of without those people, but in a lot of cases it's nearly impossible to do anything about it. What does help however is to show that we can do better. I received a lot of nice comments e.g. on the openSUSE Subreddit, people that messaged me and thanked me for helping them solve a problem or for my contributions. I am an openSUSE Member ("openSUSE Members" are community members who have provided continued and substantial contributions to the openSUSE project and are given voting rights and the ability to run for the openSUSE board. , see https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members ) and the community really is the top thing in openSUSE for me. It's a nice environment, I made good friends in the project and we learn from each other. For me, what got me into being part of it was joining the openSUSE Bar, which is a Video Chatroom where both Users and contributors just hang out and talk about things, both Linux related and off-topic. Being able to do this really helps to feel in place in a community.
  2. Really nice video! It's amazing to see some more Linux related content, appears @GabenJr has fun at the moment You all do a really good work, sth like what you do would be my dream job.
  3. In my opinion, openSUSE is the best Distro out there. It's the free version of SUSE Enterprise Linux, and is officially supported by SUSE. They have two versions, Leap if you want a stable system to work with, and tumbleweed for developers and enthusiasts. If you don't want to tinker a lot in the terminal, I'd suggest openSUSE Leap. They make it really easy to manage your System, thanks to their Tool "YaST". You can tweak most parts of your System using YaST, without touching a terminal. Next release is coming in eleven days, so maybe you should wait a few days and install that, so you don't have to upgrade later. OpenSUSE comes with different DEs, you can choose one during installation. Plus, they make it easy to setup a separate /home partition, so you can keep your files if you ever want to reinstall the OS. For me, it does it's job done really well, and I don't want to switch to another Distro. It is mostlikely an alrounder Distrobution. For You can learn more at opensuse.org.
  4. You can access a terminal without starting a DE by pressing CTRL + ALT + F1 . From there, you can sign in and type the command "startx", which will most likely start a graphical session.
  5. Since Pop!_OS is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian, that's totally fine. The releated Package appears to be named "fontconfig", so you could also try to reinstall it:
  6. There are some nice ways to keep your files and configs while reinstalling, but they require you to keep your /home directory on an other partition. Most elegant way to do this is probably using LVM, but that's a bit tricky for people new to Linux. If you use a distro with Btrfs support, like OpenSUSE for example, you could just rollback to an old state (this and this might help). But personally, I'm not a huge fan of btrfs, but you should try it out for yourself. For installing Plasma, I would just use apt, at least that was the way to do this back when I used Ubuntu: But it will be a much cleaner experience if you (re)install a distro with Plasma, like OpenSUSE, KDE Neon or Kubuntu. I can only suggest trying it because Plasma is just great, but that's my opinion.
  7. You could also log into a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1) and fire up If it fails, post the output
  8. I'd recommend looking up your software in wines AppDB.
  9. My absolut favorite is OpenSUSE. With Leap 15.x you get a rock solid System, if you wanna have all the latest stuff, tumbleweed is for you. Use it on all my systems, including Laptop, Server, Desktop and even Raspberry Pi and it never let me down. Plus, it has this great tool called YaST, which helps you managing your system. It makes it very easy to partionize a hard disk for example, or to install Nvidias drivers.
  10. OpenSUSE is also nice. If you want something rock solid, e.g. a server, I'd go with OpenSUSE Leap. If you love having the latest version of your software, go with Tumeweed.
  11. It's usually not necesarry to install software from e.g. .tar.gz files, just use your package manager (pacman, apt, dnf, zypper or whatever) and/or its graphical frontend (KDE Discover, Gnome Software, YaST) and you should be good to go. And if the software is not in the repos, you can most likely find it in the AUR or find a .deb or .rpm to "double click and hit next several times". If you are running OpenSUSE, you could even just go to software.opensuse.org, search for your program, hit the install button and YaST will do everything for you. Damn it, the line down there is there for no reason, and Firefox Android won't let me change or delete it... for your program, hit the " 1-Click Install
  12. It's great to see some Linux related content, would love to see more of it! For me, my distro of choice is OpenSUSE, I think it is forgotten to often. But it really just works, and with YaST, a lot of administrator tasks are actually easier than on Ubuntu for example. I can definitely recommend that. Ah, and for video editing: I love Kdenlive. I'm not a professional and don't have nearly as high expectations at an editing software, but for me, it does the job quite well, like most KDE Software.
  13. I would strongly recommend using systemd for this task. 1. Create the file /etc/systemd/system/minecraft.service : 2. Open Nano to edit the file: 3. Fill in the following content and replace the path and user: 4. Save and close 5. Reload SystemD: 6. Enable the unit for autostart: 7. Start the server: 8. Enjoy! Sorry for not using code blocks, wrote this on my phone and couldn't find an option to add some. Also, there might be some typing mistakes, again cause of me writing this on my phone. If you have any problems, feel free to ask!
