Introduction

Since 2017, I have been testing various Linux distributions and capturing the installation process on video. These videos have been sitting on my computer drive for some time, and I thought it would be a good idea to put them to use by sharing my experiences with others. In this blog post series, I will showcase the distributions I have tested, provide a brief overview of each, and eventually publish some of the videos on YouTube. Below you will find screenshots or videos for five such linux distributions.
