1 • Weekly Poll (by Darren Neufeldt on 2018-03-19 00:34:09 GMT from Canada)
While I do like to use Video's to learn there are somethings where I too like to have a book. The weekly poll needed a third option: Video and Book.
2 • poll + releases (by distroflowers on 2018-03-19 00:51:19 GMT from Australia)
Videos are good coz you can just absorb information without having to work too hard at it. Tutorials/books can also be good. However, the teaching in all media has to be clear and to the point, or it can be awfully boring.
Good week for releases - MX-Linux, Antix, Zorin OS.
3 • Videos (by reader on 2018-03-19 01:06:05 GMT from United States)
Without hands-on, videos enter one ear and exit the other.
4 • Video tutorials (by historyb on 2018-03-19 01:36:28 GMT from United States)
As a visual learner I like to see videos to follow
5 • Videos (by zephyr on 2018-03-19 01:51:34 GMT from United States)
Use videos for many projects, Linux is certainly no different. A great aspect of most video tutorials is reviewing in case something was missed the first time.
Completely rebuilt and upgraded my lappie using YouTube, thankful for the many people who contribute their resources and time to helping others.
cheers! : )
6 • Video learning (by JDNSW on 2018-03-19 01:53:24 GMT from Australia)
As a general rule I prefer text based learning to a video - I can read a lot faster than a presenter can speak, and if I don't understand something, just looking at the last line or two is a lot quicker than rewinding the video and viewing it again. On the other hand, pictures help many subjects! (But can be incorporated in text)
A separate issue is that I, for one, am reliant on satellite internet, with very restricted data quantities - and video uses vastly more bandwidth than does text!
7 • Videos (by DaveW on 2018-03-19 02:16:06 GMT from United States)
I do find video learning useful, but like both authors mentioned, I also want some form of written documentation that can be readily searched.
8 • Video instructions (by Counterdutch on 2018-03-19 02:25:48 GMT from Netherlands)
No fun without working soundcard , there must be written documentation, where you can find quick solutions.
9 • Re: ArchMerge aka ArcoLinux (by eco2geek on 2018-03-19 04:49:06 GMT from United States)
It's an interesting distro. I didn't install it, but I'm thinking about it, since it looks like a good way to get experience with an Arch-based distro.
Running from the live media, it uses the Z shell by default.
It's not only changing wallpaper every so often, it's downloading wallpaper from the internet, using a program named "Variety". There's an icon in the system tray that brings up its configuration options; by default it's set to use a maximum of 500MB for downloaded wallpaper. (Personally, wallpaper that changed every 5 minutes would annoy the heck out of me.)
I'm usually not a big fan of dark themes, but ArchMerge's default theme looks pretty good. Of course, you can change it.
10 • Written vs. Video (by cflow on 2018-03-19 05:04:31 GMT from United States)
For me, it really depends on the content I'm learning. I do notice how some sources incredibly side towards one or the other - and not how I'd prefer them.
For instance, for learning Blender, game engines, art software, etc. I'd rather read clearly written tutorials with static pictures, as videos always go by too fast to analyze the details. Yet the majority of tutorials in those areas are videos nowadays, where I must frequently stop rewind, and replay them to frustration.
Then there are command line tips and text-software that I often like seeing videos about, as I get to see cause-and-effect relationship in real time on a computer screen, and get a feel of how they're supposed to be used for in the first place. Unfortunately, most tutorials in this area stay in pure text, where often the context of the commands feels hidden.
Of course, in both type, there are good and bad ones in general.
11 • Videos - MX Linux (by Hoos on 2018-03-19 05:07:30 GMT from Singapore)
MX Linux has many instructional videos on Youtube, mainly done by runwiththedolphin (Developer Dolphin_Oracle). https://mxlinux.org/videos
He also does them for antiX, on the same Youtube channel.
Not only are they useful, he is quietly humorous so the videos are enjoyable.
12 • @11 - addition (by Hoos on 2018-03-19 05:13:05 GMT from Singapore)
I will add that MX Linux has a very comprehensive Manual in various languages as well, so it comes with an impressive range of both written and visual instructional material.
13 • Video learning, if properly viewed, ... (by Greg Zeng on 2018-03-19 05:47:31 GMT from Australia)
Videos can be viewed on-line or off-line. If on-line, then I prefer a Chromium -based, or Firefox-based web browser, with VARIABLE-SPEED playback, and VOICE-TEXT subtitles (Google's YouTube service works best for me).
All on-line video-tutorials can be recorded in various degrees of quality, with the same web-browsers, given the correct choice of add-ons. Playback of these videos off-line requires correct video playback software. Linux seems to not have such variable-playback video software? In Windows, I use "Potplayer".
Not many video-instruction materials are prepared properly. Lack of on-screen labels is the most common failing. Next is the audio-quality of the voice: background noises, over-loud "background music", poor accents from non-English speakers, poor microphone standards, etc.
Most instructional tapes do not provide any time-line, to quickly locate the important topic headings. These also generally do not know how to add the needed web-links to help students to learn better. Often on YouTube, the "instructors" add strange ramblings. Usually the instructor does not explain whether mouse-clicks, keyboard-keys, etc are needed to do the instruction.
A very common mistake is to have the screen sized to FULL-HD (1080p). This makes the playback use so much bandwidth, so much computer data waste, and most items on the screen slow & small-sized on play-back (icons, cursor, graphics, etc). When I prepare material, I enlarge the font sizes, simplify the eye-candy, and possibly use 720p (High Definition), instead of 1080p.
14 • videos vs books (by meanpt on 2018-03-19 09:00:09 GMT from Portugal)
TL;DR: I use both videos and text.
Videos usually make me sleepy and take too much time to get to the point, when and if there is a "point", something you only know after going through it. BUT they provide for a faster learning when interactions with UI's are concerned. The same applies for building UI's.
Books are my preferred way to go as I can quickly go through the content and find if it's worth to invest the time to get what I eventually need to know.
15 • Re: ArchMerge aka ArcoLinux (by alexis on 2018-03-19 10:23:38 GMT from France)
One thing that I feel was overlooked it this article but is truly interresting with this distribution is it's choice to include 3 vastly different graphical environments with the default intall: Xfce, Openbox and i3, allowing the user to experience pretty much the full range of "desktop environments" available to linux, going from a full-fledged DE (Xfce) to a minimalistic floating windows WM (Openbox) and event a tilling WM (i3).
This last point was truly what caught my eye as there a very few distributions that actually offer a tilling wm as a default solution, and those few that do are often specialist niche distro's that suppose that if you've event ever heard of them you must know what you're doing.
But here, not only does the distribution offer you i3 pre-installed by default but in even goest through the trouble of trying to teach you how to use it.
This alone I feel should set this distro apart from pretty much everything else out there.
16 • Video Training (by kc1di on 2018-03-19 10:34:00 GMT from United States)
Video Training is good if well done. only problem if I have but one computer and am trying to watch the video on a You tube or similar channel I can not always try what is suggested without interrupting the course. This makes it difficult at times to follow the course. I thus prefer to use written instructions with good illustrations and explanations so I can try them as I go. That why much learning in Linux is done on the various forums as inconsistant as that method my be. PS do think this opinion poll should have had more options.
17 • Video Tutorials (by Jim on 2018-03-19 10:37:13 GMT from United States)
I like text based. I type like crap. Copy and paste really helps me.
18 • I dislike using videos to learn (by Tim on 2018-03-19 13:10:39 GMT from United States)
I dislike using videos to learn, because I like to have the info in a text format where I can see it and refer to it without having to try to rewind a video to the spot I need.
19 • videos meh (by Mark on 2018-03-19 14:59:04 GMT from United Kingdom)
I much prefer text+images to videos, so I can go through it at my own pace, easily go back to previous bits, or proceed through things in a non-linear fashion.
Videos have some advantages over text, in some cases, but I think they should be used in moderation, as a supplement not a replacement.
20 • Video Tutorials (by Sam Crawford on 2018-03-19 15:29:18 GMT from United States)
It's hard to copy and paste a command into a terminal from a video.
21 • Poll (by dragonmouth on 2018-03-19 17:42:48 GMT from United States)
I prefer written instructions because it is easy to go back and forth at my own pace. I like to practice what I'm reading about. It is hard to do with a video. Videos are good for giving one an overview or an outline of the subject.
22 • Poll (by jadecat on 2018-03-19 23:14:36 GMT from United Kingdom)
Give me the written word every time. Video is fine as a reference or reminder.
23 • Video training (by FOSSilizing Dinosaur on 2018-03-20 17:03:36 GMT from United States)
The Full Manual, with Table of Contents, cross-references (early hypertext), update history and index, does benefit from some animated gif (early video) illustrations.
…
Many instructional videos waste huge amounts of storage, bandwidth and time providing over-simplified instruction that quickly becomes obsolete.
One common use of videos in enterprises has been to eliminate candidates with poor comprehension and retention. Another is introduction of concepts for orientation, something far more supportive than "RTFM" (when there is no FM) or "go fish on Google (giggle)" from classic Arch culture.
24 • Those image apps on Arco are not duplications (by Adrien on 2018-03-21 03:46:55 GMT from United States)
Darktable is RAW workflow app.
GIMP is a raster editor.
Inkscape is a vector editor.
Shotwell is a photo organizer.
Numacs is a simple viewer.
If you want to edit raster images, use GIMP. If you want to edit vector images, use Inkscape. If you need to process RAW camera images, use Darktable. If you want to organize your photos, (including the now processed JPG versions of those RAW camera shots) use Shotwell.
If all you want to do is look at an image quickly without waiting for any of the previous apps to load their vast pile of editing tools or an entire photo/negative database, then use Numacs. If XFCE, Openbox or i3 had a built-in 'quick-look' feature, I suppose you could leave out Numacs.
25 • Videos vs. no-video (by Adrien on 2018-03-21 03:53:53 GMT from United States)
I like to use videos to learn as PART of my learning, but certainly, not the only method.
However, there is a difference between learning a skill or task, and trying to solve a problem. While learning may be involved in the later, what I really want in that case is a text reference. I don't want to watch a video for 5 minutes, just to still not be sure if it's going to answer my question or even apply to my situation.
I don't have time to waste watching someone fiddle while they click a screen. if a screen cast is done well however, it can be more illustrative and informative than just text, or text with pictures. I haven't used Linux Academy, to comment, but courses on Learnable/SitePoint are *usually* well done, short, and to the point. (and are divided into small topics for easy scanning without wasting my time)
26 • opinon poll.. (by Jordan on 2018-03-21 13:39:07 GMT from United States)
..on videos. Instructional videos are amazing. The fact of having more than one computer is obviously helpful with that: one to watch the info and the other to implement the needed regimen as it goes along.
27 • Domentation, video et al (by FOSSilizing Dinosaur on 2018-03-21 23:56:32 GMT from United States)
Also convenient to have (online?) resources available via one display+keyboard+pointing-device while testing via emulator/virtual-machine on another display+keyboard+pointing-device. Something called 'multi-seat' using 'zero-client' devices enjoyed brief support a few years ago, especially for library, school and internet-cafe use-cases (e.g. when Userful was Freed Open-Source), but apparently was not favored for long.
28 • Video learning (by That guy on 2018-03-22 03:30:44 GMT from South Africa)
I love to learn via video, it affords me the "repeat as many times as you like" scenario.
HOWEVER most are utter sh!te !!! Most training videos, if you remove the into and outtro's and look at the actual content , some videos are the equivalent of one sentence.
"30 hours of content" can boil down to 2 hours when you remove all the fluff!!!!
Udemy is well known for this.
with linux academy you can skip like the first 5 fluff videos, and if you remove the fancy "overview: etc some are one sentence videos too!!!
Such a pity.
29 • Videos? Who needs em? (by CS on 2018-03-22 19:05:21 GMT from United States)
If you ever need a Linux question answered, just mozy over to any Linux forum and complain about how easy it is to do it on Windows/MacOS. Prepare to be instantaneously bombarded with 10 different solutions, one of which may work.
30 • Opinion poll (by Yuri on 2018-03-23 11:52:00 GMT from Russia)
Video - for GUI
Text - for CLI/programming.
31 • On videos (by Arghalhuas on 2018-03-25 11:24:40 GMT from Spain)
It depends. If the video is short and to the point, good. Otherwise, I find them pretty annoying.
