was up people welcome back and if you
are new to this welcome to the total of
Weston a channel total of West today is
total technology for beginners because
we all start somewhere like I did many
years ago as a Windows user and if you
are still using Windows XP it's time to
you know switch definitely alright what
if you have Windows XP and you really
don't want to you know throw away that
machine maybe it's not that old maybe
the machines fine but it's time to
change the operating system can you put
a blue on it you probably could if you
have at least a gigabyte of RAM as far
as installing a bouns who searched my
channel but for this one this is going
to be this is a blue tooth for dummies
2014 this is just an introduction if you
are completely new newbie beginner dummy
need some help and I say those words
with the most utmost friendship and
respect that I could possibly give you
once again been there done that
alright obutu for dummies 2014 I
strongly recommend that you go to the
Ubuntu website to get yourself
familiarized what de Lune 2 is all about
well boo 2 is an operating system based
on Linux ok
it's not Windows it's not Android if you
have an Android phone it's not you know
based on iOS Apple iPhone on all that it
is Ubuntu it is based on Linux and
operating system simply call the bo2
Linux now there are different types of
what we call boon - based systems
there's a boon to Kubuntu Xubuntu and
now the list goes on you don't need to
know that specifically right now what
you do need to know is that
Linux Ubuntu is not Windows obviously
there are some programs some pieces of
software that will work in a butoh that
you may have been using maybe in Windows
XP or Windows Vista or whatever you have
been using an example would be Firefox
the chromium the Chrome web browser
VLC music player now the list goes on
generally speaking not always if a piece
of software is designed for Linux just
for Linux of course it'll work just for
Linux if it's designed just for Mac
it'll work just for Mac if it's designed
just for Windows it'll work just for
Windows not always again some exceptions
would be Firefox VLC pieces of software
like that if you are considering lubuntu
switching to abouttwo and wanted to try
a bone - I strongly recommend like I
said you go to this website oboe - calm
click desktop now the folks here at
alone so I think I've got a pretty good
job for beginners to get yourself
familiarized of what this is all about
this to download the operating system it
is free there are computers with
pre-installed Ubuntu and that may be
something to consider if once you try
something like this but want everything
to work out of the box and I mean
everything then you certainly should buy
or should consider buying and able to a
computer and then I'll have links below
for that in the show notes in the total
OS today shop here you will have
questions answered hopefully most of
your questions if we go to the download
link here the current release of Ubuntu
is 14.04 and it's called trusty it's
hard the names really aren't that big of
a deal the LTS terminology is that means
this is supported for five years new
releases of Lubuntu come out every six
months
usually the most stable ones are
released every couple years and have
that the the designation l c s and you
could choose your flavor or choose which
one you need 64 32-bit or 64-bit for Mac
machines if you have an older machine
you're probably running 32-bit if it add
Vista or 7 on it's probably 64-bit if
you're not sure it it says you have
32-bit for machines with less than 2 gig
probably go with that one again you
should probably check the model number
and check the manufacturer if you have a
32-bit or 64-bit easy ways to switch to
Ubuntu again you can get a lot of
information here here a lot of this I've
talked about on my chin I don't want to
rehash to repeat what I've said because
I think this contains enough even if you
are new to get you started from a boon
to from Windows for Mac OS I'm assuming
many of you are from Windows maybe
Windows XP I don't know get the version
you need now there's a Chinese version
here khylin I believe it's called but I
would say for your situation you would
go here click download if it's 64-bit
you could certainly donate if you so
choose to it is not necessary but you
can either donate pay with PayPal or
take me to the download and this uses
where you would download the what's
called the ISO file now I already have
this install I'm just gonna hit up
yeah cancel and just get out of that and
clear that out
so if you are getting started definitely
check out the bulleted com website it is
user friendly I Betty I believe it is
designed for beginners to get you
started of what's involved if you look
at this and you're still not sure I
posted four videos on the tossed at a
channel total Wes today on how to
install Lubuntu Linux for steps but
that's really jumping ahead of ourselves
if you are new to this so that being
said if you have consider trying Linux I
think that's terrific
be patient read the documentation again
it's not window so you have to bend on
or been used to over the years that's
not necessarily a bad thing you may like
this better than running your Windows PC
I certainly enjoy Linux and running
certain types of Linux distributions
such as a boon to Linux Mint better than
the Windows 7 I dual boot that means
when when I turn on my computer I have a
choice of going into booting into
Windows 7 or different types of Linux I
use Linux mainly now the number one
reason why I use Linux is for security I
don't have to you know worry about
viruses and malware in Windows 7 I
generally don't worry about that but
that's because there's a lot more
maintenance involved than there is in
Linux but I dual boot just in case
something breaks in Linux and I have to
do something upload a video I'll just go
to Windows 7 and do it from there but
for myself
over 50% at a time I've been using Linux
usually able to Linux because that's how
confident I am that this may work for
you be patient that's probably the best
advice I can give you and you know
definitely look at my channel look at
the total wasted up total OS today shop
channel for some advice on buying Linux
based computers whether it be Ubuntu or
maybe you have heard of Chromebooks
excuse me which run Chrome OS a form of
Lenox and those start as little as $200
if all you like to do is go on the web
mainly go on the web and just you know
click and go Chromebooks are definitely
worth a look but that's for a different
topic altogether alright I think that's
it for this one so take a look at this
let me know what you think this is as I
stated just an introduction to get you
started in the world of Linux thank you
so much for watching and listening and
as always I will catch all of you
sometime in the future
