I switched out of necessity, Microsoft decided my computers aren't good enough for windows 11 (no TPM 2.0 module) Windows 10 only has about a year left of security updates before they abandon it, and i'm not buying a new computer just because they want me to. So I went ahead and made the switch to Linux mint. It's only been a few days, but so far so good. It actually feels like im back in control again. No bs ads, no OneDrive, no microsoft account needed. I'm actually shocked how easy it is to use.
0:40 Linux give you the ultimate freedom to do whatever you want. The worst command to ever run as a Linux user is; sudo rm -rf / sudo -> elevate to admin privileges (root privileges) rm -> remove -rf -> recursively and force remove protected files / -> root folder where EVERYTHING exists. sudo rm -rf / is like "delete system32" but on steroids.
I have questions, i tried the the same step in genshin impact and why you games runs fluently without apparently input lag. Do you use a custom kernel o something?
No, I don't use any custom kernel for my distro, just Gamemode and Corectrl for overclocking. If you want the best performance, you can use a custom kernel for gaming, something like Cachy-os or Nobara.
I would recommend Heroic Games Launcher. From my experience, using the latest version of Proton GE, the game runs really well on my native resolution. Getting about 120 FPS across the board. :)
You know what's funny? Sometimes, supporting linux on a game under certain engines is literally as easy....as a checkmark. No joke. A fucking checkmark in a setting. I get the low market share and different distro pain in the ass. But for some of them when it's as simple as a checkmark...why not?
I didn't know about goverlay so that already makes the video worth a like from me. One thing i would like to point is that for anyone who doesn't want to mess with config files and stuff for mouse sensitivity there are gui options to do this, some distros have the option to disable acceleration and adjust mouse speed under settings, or using third party apps like gnome tweaks for ubuntu and other distros (it also gives a bunch of nice config options for other things)
Many of those developers for online games don't give support first because of the marketshare as you mention, but also the problem is the anti cheat companies not supporting linux, an ideal scenario would be games completely ditching such software but as of today that would be impossible. This makes some certain games have a peculiar situation where if you obtain a legally dubious copy with drm and such garbage disabled it is more likely to work on linux than a standard copy from the official store.
It doesn't, you had a slight chance to get banned like 1 year ago when it wasn't able to run without a custom launcher called an anime game launcher, it would use patches to bypass the anti cheat and let you play but now none patch is needed so no risk
hey. does hoyoverse still bans your account for running the game in a vm? i know they did in the past, cuz you had to completely disable the kernel level anti cheat, cuz it only ran on the windows kernel
From my research, running it in vm will either give you an error saying “this does not run under a vm” or it will work, but the chances of getting a ban will be high, as the anti-cheat will see it as something suspicious.
update on my part, like a rat on a sinking ship a week ago i bailed on windows 11 on a 3k self built pc, it now has arch build from base arch and using arch install, i really like kde and just recently it supports both hdr and vrr, you need headers gamemode ptotonup-qt power-profiles-daemon and a couple more with steam in compatibility mode and install proton GE 9-11, even starfield is running fabulously
Nobara is a fedora-based distro by linux gaming expert Glorious Eggroll. Most gamers that don't know how to use linux and want to try it should use it because it's game ready on install with all the tweaks that makes gaming that extra bit more perfomant while also increasing combatibilty. Alternatively, Debian 12 is pretty good and light, better if you have an AMD GPU. It'll be your more set it and forget it kind of setup
Windows eats where it shits, Linux does not. I chose a Debian based distro, and at first it was great, because of how stable it is. But then you try to install some software, maybe you need to compile modern source code, and suddenly you need dependencies that isn't old as shit. This has led me down the route of going mostly for flatpak versions of software, and that's how I've gained an appreciation for software being partitioned from the OS. That's not how Windows works, software you install there has dependencies thrown around all over the place, that's how those big software suites can burrow into the OS. Oh and how invasive anticheat works. How Sony installed a rootkit back in the day, how µtorrent installed a bitcoin miner and so on and so forth. That's not to say Linux is "better", only philosophically in my opinion, because a lot of extra work is often needed. But I feel like the rewards are worth it. As an older gentleman in his early 40s, I've played the competitive games, I don't need much anymore, so it's easier for me to say to someone with an active gaming friend group to switch, because maybe that's not what you want to pour all your time into instead of the fast and loose approach Windows has.
I can recommend zorin to people who are first to linux. I have it and happy with it. Now I learned and understand many things. I’m planning to switch to Debian when debian 13 comes.(I know it’s a really good distro. I just didn’t understand it first.) I have a trust issue on ubuntu and ubuntu based distros. 😅
@@ULTRAYT agree.. even Linux is more secure than Windows and Mac in terms of virus attack or malware, but it still can get attacked if the user letting their guard down when using Linux..
The statement "Linux is not compatible with hardware" holds some truth, especially when it comes to bleeding-edge technology and specialized devices like handhelds. For instance, I had to wait for kernel 6.10 to use the keyboard on my new 2024 Asus Vivobook 15 Pro. Additionally, Linux struggles with hybrid GPU switching on my laptop. Despite installing the drivers, Linux (Nobara) detects my NVIDIA 4060 GPU but doesn’t necessarily utilize it for gaming out of the box. While it’s not entirely accurate to say Linux is completely incompatible with hardware, there’s a kernel of truth in it. Linux still lags behind Windows and macOS as a mainstream competitor. With only about 4% of the PC user base using Linux, the operating system faces challenges. These include the learning curve for new users, the complexity of some distributions, and general unfamiliarity with the platform. It will likely be years, if not decades, before Linux can truly compete with Windows or macOS on a large scale. Moreover, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that many regular users-who don’t game or aren’t particularly tech-savvy-are unlikely to adopt Linux. This segment of users, in particular, will find Linux less appealing due to its complexity and lack of widespread software support.
Ubuntu is practically Windows 11 with the data collected and annoyances. I haven't used Fedora, but I've heard very great things. For gaming however, I use Garuda Linux. I am thoroughly impressed. It's arch Linux with no headache and a similar to Fedora look. You install it and it just works.
while watching this video my internet keeps crashing and no not my actual internet im texting my friend on discord on my android phone constantly like this is just why and also as long as i keep a cpu uptime of my usual 10 to 20 days straight i get less and less problems the moment i "turn it off and on again" theres always a higher chance of complete input freeze followed by a bluescreen if i wait for like 10 to 30 minutes so i just keep restarting until it stops doing that
first time i installed linux was like 3 days ago, linux mint worked well but ther beeen graphcial glitches soo i installed endevandour os and it works well (after re install bcz first time i broke my sound and i didnt wanted to try fix it
I'm not new to Linux, but I am also not good yet. I tried beginner friendly distros but they were just not for me, so eventually I jumped a lot of steps and went into Arch. No, not because the memes, but I wanted to learn how to do things from scratch. I am a visual hands on learner and while beginner distros usually come with everything you need, I wanted to learn how to do it myself and that's what pushed me to use vanilla Arch, so that if something breaks, I will know where to look and how to fix it. To top it off, my hardware is new/recent, so I figured a rolling release would be best. I also sold my 4090 to get a 7900XTX JUST so I can use Linux without graphical issues months ago (before Nvidia even thought of going open source). So far, no regrets.
So the solution is to sell my integrated 4090 in my laptop and replace with a AMD GPU. Can you help me. How do I replace my GPU in my laptop. Thank you.
Hi. I'm glad I found your channel. So far my experience with genshin on linux was not so good but it works more or less. The biggest pain is caused by my old 2GB Nvidia's GTX 660. I'm getting a better GPU so hopefully that will resolve some issues but maybe someone else would find your input helpful. Generally, I'm experiencing some problems that I didn't notice when playing on windows. Some places aren't properly displayed. For example the place where the seahorse boss in Fountaine is or some places Chenyu or Summeru. My screen is visibly split into areas that contain small rectangles, some of which are rendered correctly and other are just black. My guess is, not enough memory but idk if it works this way. Maybe it's the old driver's fault. I try to avoid those places because I don't know If going further doesn't cause more errors. Also, that's probably not the GPU's fault (or is it?) but signals/events from keybord sometimes get "queued" and are executed a couple of seconds later than I press the button because the previous action was still running. Which makes me fall off a cliff or something because I can't turn back or fly. It doesn't happen with mouse btw. I launch genshin with heroic launcher and play on lowest graphic settings. I haven't tried playing other games yet, so unfortunately can't compare how they run.
This is quite strange, I've been to chenyu vale and as well as fontain in fact I completed the story quests in fontaine (Rip Focalor) and I have never experienced such issues and I have even worst hardware than yours bro, you should check the logs and try to seek help on linux gaming subreddit.
Dude i played genshin in both ms windows and mx linux. I have 8 gb ram and my lap. Get usually hang in window when i open any software with game meanwhile nothing happened in linux and doesn't lag for me
Windows eats ram for breakfast, main reason i installed linux on my laptop, not even for gaming but just opening webpages can be pretty bad on windows with 8gb. Also wanted to rant about how damn stupid soldered ram is, if it weren't for linux i would almost have to throw away that laptop
It's probably not the mountain I feel like it is, but I'm scared to go through setting it up and messing up some how, and then it may not even support all my software needs. Ig the best in between might be running both? Tbh I didn't even know you could do that. Honestly, the more time passes, and the worse Windows gets, the more incentivized I feel that I will inevitably have to pick up linux one day. In fact, next pc or laptop I'll probably switch. Anyways, I know we see a lot of techie videos on how bad Windows is getting, but I think most users don't really feel it since it's very useable on a daily basis, and it's everywhere. More people would switch to linux, but people are (understandably) turned off by the fact that it's not as beginner friendly as windows. For most ppl it's either Windows or Apple, they don't really know much about anything else, they feel like they don't need to learn about other options. And Ig the average user doesn't necessarily need to switch (rn anyways) if they do very simple tasks and have no concerns about the lack of privacy, heavy advertising, etc. A lot of people only trust what's ultra mainstream, and they do not want to do the work of putting Linux just to make a pc/laptop usable when there are countless laptops and PCs w Windows or Apple installed already, that's the standard. People also hate the idea of having to switch what they're used to. It could be hard, it could be easy, it could take long to get used to it, you might have to compromise somehow along the way, but you'll never know until you make the switch and I thinking about that is another reason why ppl don't switch to linux. People only remember how bad Windows is when they go through a blue screen or death or when we have situations like that recent event where worldwide, Windows failed so unbelievably bad. But it's getting bad. The "AI" image generation (I swear, all these corps are obsessed w "AI", on a side note, thank you for crediting the the people in the description), ads, and random website articles in the search function, updates being mostly just cosmetic and just to be more beginner friendly (there's a point where you just can't make it more beginner friendly than it already is), bloatware (why the heck is Disney +, Spotify, etc auto installed?), files search function getting ruined with updates (now I always have to put an asterisk at the end to make sure it searches through *all* of my files which we didn't even have to do b4) etc. The thing that gets me most is the fact they have billions of dollars both from being the most widely distributed OS, and from Microsoft (Ik they gotta be making bank off of Minecraft) and yet... Window's progress as an OS just feels so stagnant and un-innovative. They just sit on their billions and don't bring anything good (passable and usable, yes, but not good) to the table, just like every other billion dollar company. How do you expect to surpass Apple if you're not even trying to be innovative and you make it feel like a OS that can't even be viewed as premium compared to it? It is constantly regressing, it feels like all the changes we get are mostly just to appear more cosmetically appealing and more beginner friendly (obviously taking heavy inspiration from Apple sometimes) and yet it somehow fails at both goals. Every time they try to appear innovative to consumers they're clearly just hopping in on the bandwagon, Apple, corps going heavy on AI, Cortana, AI copilot, etc. They need to focus more on fixing concerning issues (that we as consumers shouldn't have to deal w) and focus on improving the software.
Too many linux versions to go through and find the right one. What is like the basic linux version compared to a basic windows 10? No mods, no hacks, nothing else put on there. just out of the box plug and play. something you can find at best buy or target etc.
