System76, a company known for making computers that are “born to run Linux” have released a new product, named “Nebula”, that allows you to build your own desktop computer that’s very similar to theirs! In this video, Jay has ordered TWO of these and has some thoughts to share with you.

System Administrators keep your computers computing, your printers printing, your servers serving – all while keeping critical systems online. You may not always see them in action, but behind the scenes they route communications, deploy critical servers, and secure protected information. On System Administrator Appreciation Day, we recognize all of those brilliant individuals that manage the world’s infrastructure.
Learn Linux TV would like to thank TuxCare for sponsoring this production! As part of this event, they are partnering with ADMIN Magazine to offer a free PDF filled with useful tips and tricks for the busy SysAdmin. Click the image to download – it’s only available for a limited time.
Thanks to 2GuysTek, Jeff Geerling, and Techno Tim for joining the discussion!
In this video, Jay shows off some of the services that run in his homelab! This time around, we’ll take a look at TrueNAS, Proxmox, and even get a sneak peak at the provisioning solution known internally as “NodeForge”. This is more of an introductory video, additional videos will be considered for diving into even more detail!

In this episode of The Homelab Show, Jay discusses some of the things he runs within his homelab.
The ongoing saga with Red Hat continues, and now that some time has passed since their controversial announcement, we now have statements from other distributions, including (but not limited to) Oracle and SUSE. In this episode, Jay and Joao talk about the recent developments on this story, and also touch on some trouble that Fortigate has been having nowadays.
The rsync command is kind of like a “swiss army knife” of file transfer utilities. With a wealth of options available, it’s easily one of the best methods of moving files around. In this video, Jay goes over the finer points of the rsync command, with an emphasis on the most important options you should know for day-to-day usage.

(more…)The passwd command is what you use to change your password on your Linux system, but did you know you can also use it to change the password of other users, lock accounts, and view statistics? In this video, you’ll learn about the passwd command – and there may even be a new thing or two to learn even if you’re already familiar with the command.

When it comes to Linux in the Enterprise, we have quite a few challenges we have to overcome on a day to day basis to ensure we can depend on our technology. We never thought Red Hat themselves would some day become our opponent, but here we are. In this episode, Jay and Joao will discuss discuss the latest impulsive and irresponsible decision Red Hat has made – as well as how that decision results in the company undermining their own customer base, while alienating the Linux Community at the same time.
When it comes to Open Source, there’s always debates about various aspects of it – this isn’t new. But recently, a decision made by Red Hat has put a spotlight on this issue, perhaps a larger spotlight than any other time in recent memory. But it’s not just them – Open Source is sometimes a difficult subject to navigate. In this episode, Jay and Tom will discuss the Red Hat thing a bit, but transition into a much bigger topic – what should we or shouldn’t we expect from open source?
The recent news about Red Hat is certainly taking the industry by storm right now, and it even led to me canceling a video that was already recorded. The video in question was a follow-up to my Debian 12 “Bookworm” review, in which I revealed that I was switching to Debian (which also means that Learn Linux TV is doing the same). In that video, I also promised a follow-up where I would explain why that decision was made. In my recent video response to Red Hat’s toxicity, I attempted to explain why in that video but that portion of the video was overshadowed by the, well, shadow that Red Hat is casting over Linux and open-source. So in this article, what I’m going to do is outline specifically why I moved away from Ubuntu, and I’ll do so while making sure that this doesn’t become another Red Hat article. Let’s talk about Ubuntu.
(more…)When it comes to Linux Distros, each are either managed by their community or by a company. With recent news, it becomes clearer than ever that those managed by a company should be avoided. With a recent history of being untrustworthy, Red Hat is on the list to steer clear of – but they’re not the only example. With histories of misleading claims (with some being downright lies) it’s time to leave corporate-owned Linux distributions behind. Here’s why.
Systemd – it’s the most popular init system when it comes to Linux, and everyone loves it. Honest. But whether or not you love Systemd, you’re going to love this video because it will teach you all the core basics of Systemd. This coverage will include starting, stopping, restarting units, location priority in regard to unit file locations, editing service units and more!
