You’re in luck :) Ive done some previous videos doing “first looks” at a bunch of distros but im taking advantage of this and will be working on an “absolute beginners guide” for how to get started on Linux. Im hoping itll be done soon but I want to take my time and do it right, not just “oh shit im getting views gotta crap something out” so no real promises on a specific date, other than its my sole focus this three day weekend :)
It's not a replacement for Windows, unfortunately, and the learning curve and lack of support for full GUI and Steam and needed Windows programs makes Lunux distros pointless. Apple is worse and proprietary and overpriced. After end of life for Windows 10, you can pay a fee for three years, but why? Windows 11 version 23H2 and above uses artificial intelligence. That's the worst danger. This is wrong!
@@ernies8828 The way I see it, I can either run a two pc setup, keep my old windows 7 and use linux both for work and as my internet gate, or I can buy a bigger pc and use that to either emulate one or switch between the two. That said, I know enough people who do not use WIndows period.
@@ernies8828 windows is pointless. it's so much more buggy than linux it's actually laughable -- and the different code of paint they put on it every half a decade is unfathomable. the latest edition of windows uses context menu styles from the past ~ten editions. a classic meme by this day and age but it's still nuts. linux has almost everything and more you will ever need. the only reason you might need windows is minor programs that simply won't run (yet) on linux, a recent but rare example of mine being the tp-link powerline program which i didn't end up needing to begin with, or the big programs for which there mostly are replacements. can't use adobe's photoshop? there's gimp, and it's multi-platform. programmers, sound designers, artists of all kind, basic browser users and others are all using linux today as their main os. and good for them. windows is slowly dying, and by golly with this rhythm we'll see that unix flag hoisted by the end of the next decade _guaranteed._
@@escapetherace1943 It was very easy to uninstall the Windows 7 telemetry updates. It's almost impossible to do with Windows 10 and beyond because the malware is baked into the OS itself.
@@carloschu7127 the linux kernel itself doesn't contain telemetry. distributions like debian might have a package popularity stats, but that is disabled by default. kde desktop environment also has something similar to telemetry however it is turned off by default as well. for both, you have to manually enable them.
"You can easily find the same recipe again" yeah just search recipe in your browser history, instead of having AI tell us just tell people how to better use a computer. This is 100% about greed and control, but the average person isn't going to notice because we still have so many people who don't understand computers at a basic level
At tgis point it's not even people not understanding computers . I feel a massive amount of the population has gotten so simple minded living in this narcissistic overly cynical bubble about things .People just lack seeing the bigger picture in all areas of life while thinking they're intelligent while never having basic logic . I feel sad for some these fools
Microsoft heard that all the kids want to be streamers, and now they can be as they stream all your data to their servers once they sneakily change the TOS.
Could be worse. Have you tried talking to anyone who was a computer engineer in the 60's and 70's? oOOooOOOOOOOOooOOOoo PUUUUNNNCHCCCHHHHH CAARRRRDDDSSSSSSS. For real though, I'm so tired of the AI marketing blitz. If I see you positioning "AI" as a selling feature I automatically purge all time I wasted looking at your product and forget it existed.
Bingo. Artificial intelligence is the main reason I refuse upgrading to Windows 11 Pro, mainly because of version 23H2 and above has A.I. embedded. It's bad enough with it on apps, which most you can avoid, but once you connect to the internet of things, it will be risky.
It's very telling that they chose to use Minecraft to demonstrate this "amazing" new feature. A clue to who they are trying to sell it to. Also, isn't Minecraft like, a last decade kind of thing? haven't we move don from that? Show how in touch Microsoft is.
I switched to Linux Mint awhile ago. Programs like Lutris are amazing for getting Windows Games/Programs running under Linux including Steam with Valves Proton, I can get my entire library going. I am not a huge multiplayer gamer, even then I can still get TF2 and some others like ESO running under Linux. The rest of the games that have Kernel Anti-Cheat which in my opinion feels like a big security hole waiting to happen I don't play anyway.
You'd be surprised about the anticheat - large portions of games are playable even with it! I've played Star Citizen, Halo MCC and Infinite, Helldivers 2, and many others on Linux, using the anticheat! Of course some don't work at all, like Call of Duty, Valorant, etc but I think im getting to the point where I'm just going to stop playing the games that don't support Linux, and vote with my wallet.
@@DesignDocsWithJames yeah this needs attention. The anti-cheat thing is basically a meme now, it is like half a dozen games Linux won't run now and they're all trash games anyway
Linux rules! We have 5 pc's all running Mint, and one running Windows 10 (pirated). We don't pay a penny to MS. It isn't connected to the web, we just use it for certain apps we can't use on Linux.
That's fantastic to hear! Hopefully one day you're able to completely cut Windows out - I don't even want to be valuable to them as a marketing statistic on how many users they have, or whatever value they get from the telemety I missed disabling.
Embedded tools like this are STILL a major pain point for a lot of people. I know people that need machines from 15 years ago to run their equipment :(
Years ago there was move in US DOD to move from Windows to Linux operating systems. This would allow IT personnel complete control and openness for reviews and actions. They could prove abiding by all laws and save lots of federal funds; almost free, because Windows licenses were expensive. It was turned down by senior management which is why Bill Gates and Microsoft own the world now, including all of those military and intel networks. Regards
I'm personally very bullish on AI, but the feature of Copilot constantly taking screenshots so it can recall what you were doing at any point is not something I would want. There are serious privacy concerns there. They promise it's entirely local, but I don't want that information to get stored at all. I don't really care if it's local. If they change it so I can voluntarily show Copilot my screen only when I want it to before disabling it again, I'll be a bit more okay with that, but looking at the direction Microsoft is headed I don't really have high hopes.
Windows has been locked up in prison in a Virtual Machine with GPU Pass through for the few games I tend to play that do not work on Linux for months now. I am NEVER daily driving windows again. and Microsoft has people into thinking its the ONLY option for your PC but folks if we all moved to Linux software devs would port to it as they follow the money. As I will be the first to admit not all software has an alternative in Linux.. Run my own custom distro based on Bazzite btw.
I keep telling people the same thing is happening on macs. Its ability to track your mouse through multiple computers and the screen sharing it does, add to its accessibility options, there is a full blown keylogger built into the system, and with AI, it could take screen shots of your screen and analyze them to know what is happening, this data is turned to text and could be sent in very small packets on the internet. With AI, they don't even have to hide it anymore.
No, the example in Minecraft was just teaching someone how to play it without looking at the controls. Basically it means it can search indexed or vectorised images if you want help or want to find something (i.e. where you saved that file)
This video's main messages are so correct that I could even agree more! And it's the CEOs taking massive advantage of the clout attached to technology. Technology only provides guidelines to follow to help the user. It's not much different to paper, actually, which is so much better in my opinion. Congratulations dude, for exiting Windows!
I shifted to Linux Mint a few years ago; I find it a lot simpler and more reliable than Windows, and much less likely to send my data to people who hate me.
microsoft bob was a tool designed for computer illiterates back when only computer nerds actually owned computers. it didnt fail on its merits so much as there wasnt a customer base for it yet. now the computer user base aren't computer people. if they rolled out microsoft bob today, people would use it. they will eat whatever gets put in the trough.
Testing out bazzite an atomic distro from the immutable band. I need something that takes care of nvidia, etc and updates with out borking. So far, so good. Remember to use x11 plasma session as wayland menu flickering is a bit distracting atmo. Hopefully incoming Nvidia driver 555 will sort that. But plasma 6 is made for x11 and very smooth and bug free...Games don't stutter or tear.
Remember that one day Microsoft will say "Windows can now be stored on our cloud, so you can have more storage space". And then all this "locally stored data"" will be on their servers.
Been converting all the PC's in my house this week (05/2024). My only glitch was with a Windows software created SSD Raid Array. I thought Linux should leave it alone, but I'm guessing the config lived in the UEFI setup or Windows Boot Manager and it got lost. Oh well. I formatted and mounted both 1 Terabyte drives under linux. On another note, everything under Linux Steam just runs. Now I have 3 Terabytes to load up with my games. LOL - Linux Mint is amazing. I did this because Copilot was invading all my PC's and I'm sick of fixing my machines after "Patch Day" every month. I'm done. And I couldn't be happier.
yeah moved to mint a while ago its definetly got problems but i learned alot fixking a debugging and in the end got it running even better then windows execpt for certain games even with proton but wating for fixes
Also completely migrated today, the gaming desktop is running Fedora KDE and my gaming laptop is running popOS. No more Windows in any of those, not even dual boot or VM.
Hello, first of all, love your take on this latest MS marketing. Great Video! I think that AI in general is the future of computers, I reluctantly accept this fact. Like all technology, it can be used for good or evil. The use of "spying" to me is evil. I have to stay on Windows currently, however, as soon as school is over (which requires a few things like Adobe Creative Cloud and and MS Office per school requirements), I am returning to Linux full time and so far, I need to find a good alternative to After Effects, but everything else has open source alternatives that I already use. I am so with you on this! BTW: I am using Arch based distros in Linux. Even Macintosh, has ticked me off because of decisions made by Apple.
While theoretically possible, it's important to remember Windows is such a small line item to them compared to their global business these days. The profit they generate from this is basically a rounding error compared to Azure or their Office 365 licensing.
While I'd kinda love for that to be the case, I also think it's just statistically impossible. No matter how many people watch these kinds of videos, it's still a vast minority when compared to the billions of average Joes who will never stop to think about the implications of this, or won't care enough to grasp how bad this stuff sounds
Another fun thing I see coming up with windows is Updates, you'll only get them if you're signed in. Or you'll get free updates for a year, and after that it's a subscription service.
The nice thing about Linux, is you can customise it to work they way you want. So if you want to make the transition easier for yourself, you can use a desktop that looks and feels like Windows. There are distros which do just that. However, you also want a well supported distro, so if you have any problems, you can find the help you need. Ubuntu is the best for that, although it's default UI is not very Windows like. KDE is a better UI for Windows users, and there is a Ubuntu distro, which enables it as default. It's called kubuntu. I have been Windows free for 15 years. No way am I going to be a slave to Microsoft again.
I havent been much of a fan of KDE in the past, but KDE6 + Wayland is a surprisingly amazing combo. GNOME is great and all but I was always more of a XFCE stan than anything else.
I am watching this very closely, because of how this could impact the lives of people with disabilities in a positive way. You can’t have complete privacy with accessibility. You can have a degree of privacy, yes, but not complete privacy. For example, the screen readers need access to your clipboard to read things in the first place. Now do I have concerns? Of course. There are genuine implications for things like privacy and tracking. I’m not ignorant to these possibilities, but at the same time, without this technology, barriers would not be broken. Speaking personally I don’t know where I’d be without my iPhone. Yes it probably spies on me. However it allows me to more easily get access to on demand transport, news, shopping, things that before the smartphone were a lot more difficult to do (especially transportation because cabs aren’t always reliable and paratransit in some areas leaves much to be desired). So I see it as potential for both good and evil, and I try hard to focus on the good.
I saw this stuff coming at least 10 years ago. Been full time linux for more than 8 years now. No regrets. Linux has come a long way and is completely viable for a large part of the population.
To my understanding, the screen recording nonsense is directly tied to the special AI chip in the new Surface Pro's and Surface Laptops and not something that will be apart of Windows 11 for general PC's but I could be wrong. Not that it makes it any better mind you. But, there is an opt out, which should be an opt in but why would huge corporations do that. For now, as I continue to test Linux Mint, I'm using O&O shutup10, still on Windows 10 controlled by a domain controller, and so far so good. Before O&O shutup10 I was constantly "recommended" Copilot to be installed via my search box start menu. I'm starting to realize M$ doesn't understand how no means no. Been in IT for 27 years and glad I retired early. I want no part in Windows AI, spyware, user data nightmare on the corporate level. And I can tell you one thing for certain, out of all the companies I've ever worked for in an IT capacity, there isn't a single one that would be willing to move to Linux. This should not only scare the hell out of businesses but employees equally as much. Just a shame Linux is behind Windows in creature comforts and things "just working" right out of the box. Just as an example, I have a laser cutter/engraver with a single PC only using the onboard HDMI port, no GPU installed. It has 3 jobs to perform, website viewing, Lightburn to control the laser, and my thermal shipping label printer. First 2 are easy as web browsers are the same in Linux and Lightburn has a Linux version. My thermal label printer though, I spent 2 hours trying to figure out a suitable driver to make it work and I had to force it to fit a specific size in the browser print window or it fails to print everything. I have zero issues in Windows. That's just for a simple workstation that only does 3 things. Gaming, video editing, photoshop, file sharing, not as easy on Linux as it is in Windows. Not to mention replacing my domain controller that has a bunch of group policies so all my PC's have the same mappings, same DNS settings, same available printers, same security, same Windows bloat removed, and so on. Granted, wouldn't need a couple of those settings with Linux but it won't be as simple to setup. Hell, even you struggled to just wipe your Windows partitions. Even Windows cmd using diskpart > list disk > select disk # > clean and the partition is gone. Easy. Sucks M$ is going off the deep end.
I’m finding it really difficult to continue using Windows at this point, but I have to keep using it for work as I use a pretty new laptop with no real good Linux options to actually use the hardware fully. Trust me, i’ve tried.
That's a shame. Laptop's are very difficult to get fully working at times, especially with their custom hardware. My old laptop hard locks whenever I boot while using the Nvidia drivers, for example, so it's largely useless.
This has been me for about four years now. Going full time has been a nice breath of fresh air :) Hopefully you can stay on the Linus side for as long as possible!
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet green icing flowing down Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it 'Cause it took so long to bake it And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no
Not trolling here just curious as to your thinking. As presented Recall is an optional feature that you can fine tune by excluding certain apps or websites or simply turn it OFF completely. I will likely just turn it OFF. I'm not happy about all this AI crap either but I am excited by the idea of a functional Windows on ARM (unlike RT was!). I'd love to see a Windows laptop that can match or beat Apple at video editing
Well, my concern is that soon in the future you may not be able to just turn it off. The Xbox subsystem already runs at a higher permission level than admin and can ensure you don't have rights to access any of the game files it downloads. You can't even manually delete them without the Xbox app letting you. That's where my head is. In 10-15 years, what do you do when this is part of the operating system on a core level and you have no power? Well, you install Linux :)
I don't know how many have thought about this but even using linux might not be a way to completely escape this because even if using linux but sending chat message to someone using windows then recall would have that chat captured even if just the receiver of the chat message uses windows
What an Orwellian mess... Remember when Micro$oft actually protected your privacy? I installed windows XP just for a laugh and was surprised at how relaxed I felt . It was like going home. The machine actually did what I wanted it to and nothing else. Even Win 7 feels better than anything M$ has crapped out lately. If you take the right precautions, the older OS's still can be reasonably secured, but that's the difference between being able to work ON your machine and working AT your machine. I bet there aren't many people in this world today that can even tell you what an IRQ line is :)
I really think MS dropped the ball massively when they made w11 co-pilot a standard, rather than opt-in experimental, feature. I made the permanent jump to linux when my conputer told me, rather rudely, that I needed to upgrade to win11 but my hardware wasn't sufficiently new. Currently running a Debian/GNOME desktop and an Arch/Hyprland laptop, and very happy with both.
isn't this all based on a specific set of hardware (right now) - bit drastic right now, and games need to catch up and get on Linux natively much more than they are right now
Right, all of what you said is 100% true, it's all (right now) not really relevant to me. However this is ignoring the trend of the last 20-30 years of "right now" that have come and past, and quite frankly I don't want to play the game with them anymore.
Yeah, I'm quite surprised that Microsoft was this brzen about it, and not only that, marketed as an amazing new feature instead of just trying to slip it in hoping nobody would really notice. Then again, doesn't really surprise me after Apple released it's Vision Pro that now tracks your eye movements and hand movements, and we have enerual link now even that is implanting humans with chips to read their brain waves and I'm assuming them the brain waves back to home servers as well. Hopefully this turns more people towards Linux and awat from Windows.
I feel like this is just emblematic of how out of touch , the corporate elite are now , even back in the 90s MS wouldnt have been this blatantly anti consumer
Hello Beautiful People.I have a Linux laptop and a windows computer. I want to buy a physical usb drive, for different files, common to both systems. How to choose the type of formatting for a physical usb drive so that it can be seen in two systems (write, read). ExFat, NTFS, others ? Good day.

It took me a solid 4 years whittling away things one at a time very very slowly until this video, where I decided "fuck it, I don't need to play call of duty anymore fuck you microsoft" and I hope you finally reach that point at some place too, friend. For what it's worth I still have to use Windows at work, but on all my personal machines Windows will never exist ever again.
i'm only minutes into the video but what you said about minecraft breaks me. minecraft represented everything triple-a games weren't. and ever since microsoft bought minecraft it just wants to turn it into any other dumbed-down profitable game. i mean i understand microsoft has its fair share of challenge covering the expenses somehow... i just wish they didn't acquire minecraft in the first place to slowly destroy it. besides, i don't like the MSA, and i thought it'd be nice for us to... not have to agree with MSA to play minecraft? but yeah. that's something i never thought i needed to clarify. i also find it annoying how microsoft loves to push their one-products - onedrive, onenote - yet put in so little effort to make them live up to their names: onedrive gets to irreversibly delete your data if you don't log in for as short as a year (not unless you pay them... you're not getting anything back if you didn't), and onenote sync can fail so badly (there was one case i read where onenote denied the very owner from accessing their own notes) onenote starts to delete LOCAL COPIES OF YOUR NOTES. microsoft's "free" service can feel so bizarrely untrusting and uncaring of its own users (surely they look fabulous when things go right, but when things go wrong... then you're really on your own), yet all microsoft cares is to get more and more people to use them..... i can't be the only one hating that they do this, right...
you mean like how the Intel ME is a complete black box and has several complete system control exploits floating out in the wild? Or how all cellphones radio's run entirely segregated black box code that has exploits for total system control floating out in the wild :) I'm well aware of how these work. Someone committing genocide in Rwanda doesn't mean that solving the crime on my street is pointless.
@Yggdra666 hehe, well, very much appreciated! As a token of good faith, here’s one of my favorite talks on the topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_eSAF_qT_FY.htmlsi=7M5Y4A_cvmje7dyq
I havent been knee-deep in the Twitch-O-Sphere in several years so I'm not sure currently, but I can tell you I have absolutely done several streams on Linux just like I would on Windows or MacOS. The Linux setup for audio while vastly more complicated and demanding on the user, is vastly superior to the other platforms and I'm really looking forward to building a dedicated streaming workstation with a new UVC compatible capture card.
I already switched to Linux (Mint), and despite having much to learn yet, I'm well adapted and confortable with the platform. The only use I have for Windows is some applications I use for work, but those I can probably run on a virtual machine. I'm ready to leave microsoft behind forever. I 100% agree with your "Wall-E" argument, I think too much AI interference has the potential to weaken the human species to the point of becoming completely helpless and useless.
My last Windows drive is getting formatted this weekend. I'll lose some of my games, but that's ok. It's just not worth it any more. Time for a new dual boot, NixOs for my daily and Bazzite to game. cool video ! I just subscribed
I'm glad someone else shares my though process on this! Thankfully these days all I'm really losing out on is Call of Duty. I'm choosing to look at it positively and say instead "now I don't ever have to worry about being tempted by R6S or Valorant ever again cause they don't work!!!! 😎"
I switched to Linux almost 5 years ago. I love it. 🤘 Currently using Manjaro as my main distro and Garuda as well as LMDE here and there. I do plan on going full Arch at x some point lol. 🖕 Windows and Microsoft.
Recall will only be featured on the Copilot + ARM PCs with the Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite chips.. For the vast majority of Windows 11 users running Windows on x86 architecture PCs, they have nothing to worry about, Recall will not run on their computer. For some reason you not giving the full story in this video.
Correct, I did not mention that "currently" all it supports is the Qualcomm chips, because I also said many times in the video that I wasn't thinking about the current timeframe, and was thinking 5-15 years in the future when these are commodity parts that every computer has and the software side is force enabled with no way to turn it off.
This is one massive pain point still. I hope to see this undereserved market get tapped soon. Louis Rossman and Futa might be able to do a lot of good here, he's already doing some great things with GrayJay and the open board view software by Paul Daniels.
I was about to comment "Hey, why don't we just get an AI to play Minecraft for us?" and then you said the same thing at 4:23 It blows my mind that anyone actually defends AI at this point. Like... AI being strewn in to every single aspect of the online experience and companies firing employees because AI can do their job better (or people avoiding contracting another human for a service to begin with, because AI can do it better) in pretty much *all / any* creative-related paid jobs is by no means trivial. If we're going to have AIs do everything for us, what's even the point anymore?
@@DesignDocsWithJames I assume if you just install some big modpack, it will either error out entirely, or realize it and just go away. You need to make it seem normal at first, then have weird stuff happen. From the Fog would be another good one, and that can hide as a datapack. Imagine an AI's reaction to "help, Herobrine burned my house down!" (Herobrine appears) "It seems you have another player in your game. Are you playing on LAN?" XD
I've never eyerolled at anything more times than at crypto when it was in its height of hype. Even still, at least you had the choice to not use it. This AI hypetrain is worse though. It's being shoved into everything you use, whether you want it or not, and at it's worst it's effectively a trojan with spyware like this. And I don't care if "you can turn it off", since I don't exactly trust that. But yeah. AI is definitely another one of *'those'* tech-trends
When it comes to AI i am not against it because it can be usefull. I am gonna move to linux too because next year it's end of life for win10 and i won't buy new laptop just for win11 which turns out to be big ass spyware. I am gonna use AI on linux but it will be smaller open source model that i retrained and above everything else localy hosted.

The thing that really makes me mad is thinking about how much wasted potential there is in every facet of the modern world. Imagine if companies weren't harvesting and selling our data, and a program like Recall really was only local, and we really could trust Microsoft. It would be revolutionary and helpful in so many ways for so many people. Imagine if Facebook were really just used to share pictures and chat with family in a simple interface. Imagine if reddit weren't run by a capitalistic tool and remained a free place for communities to come together and talk about shared interests with no ulterior motives. Imagine if Microsoft spent developer time improving Windows and adding features that people wanted instead of harvesting all our data and serving ads to us. You could extend this out further into other areas, like healthcare. Imagine if (in the US) Washington wasn't run by lobbyists and the government actually worked for the people instead of the corporations. Imagine healthcare for all without multi billion dollar industry middlemen taking their cut and letting the 99% pick up the pieces. Most of all of this boils down to late stage capitalism. It's all just so depressing when you think about where we are and where we could be as a species.
we have the capacity to feed, clothe, and house every human in existence, and we just... don't, because of our collective obsession with an arbitrary system of token exchange. It's maddening.
@@Ay-xq7mj that is a tautology, but I understand the impulse. Better, though harder, is improving systems and insulating them from the worst human impulses.
@paultapping9510 Imposible. One of the worst human impulses today is the wanting of eliminating token exchange system. You are breaking your legs triying to run man.
I switched to Linux a couple years ago when I got mad out about being forced to sign in with a Microsoft account and all the work-arounds slowly disappearing. Switching was a bit of a pain but less of a pain than I thought it would be and I was mad enough at the time to stick through the learning curve out of spite. These new AI "features" make me very glad about my choice.
This is about when I first started diving in myself. I just needed that final push off the ledge. Honestly, its probably for the better to get me to stop playing some garbage video games for my mental wellbeing :D
@@Grizazzle oh I know but the number of working ways to get around needing an account keep shrinking and it gets more difficult. at the time i figured it was best to at least learn to use an alternative for when non of the work-arounds work anymore instead of waiting.

This is the thing that scares me. This is the new database dump - why bother attacking the database when you can just see what everyone's passwords are in their Recall dump?
I was talking about this to my coworkers earlier today. Like, the Office 365 analytics are already insanely aggressive and quite frankly creepy, and using third party tools is always frowned upon when you can use the built in one for cheaper and more effectively! I need to take a shower after thinking about how slimy that is, I feel so gross and violated.
This is literally my reality now, lol. I very much see a lot of other people doing the same, more and more commonly as more time passes. People can only get shoved around for so long before they react and fight back!
@valcaron if I were to build my own business, yes, 100%, wouldn't even think twice before going full Linux. But when we work for a company, usually you just gotta use what's on their computers, and sadly most still go for Windows

Then you try and explain it and it changes to "Well It's Microsoft and every company does that, I'm just doing (insert xyz) so it's not like they're going to get anything from me". I'm just a daily driver scrub that's been on linux for about 2 years at this point. As time goes on though I've been sitting in this penguin lawn-chair watching this MS dumpster fire grow and thankful I've been able to break away from Windows. Linux isn't perfect but it has been far less frustrating so far.
Ugh, I hate trying to have this conversation with the people who don't care enough to try and understand so just roll with it. It's such a back and forth and you never get anywhere lol. Well, give it time, and one day they might put it together themselves, and if not that's okay too - at least you tried!
Just wait for it to become a public disaster and eat pop corn and watch. This applies to everything, housing, jobs, education, immigration, families, etc.
This video is on the personal side of this, now imagine what companies think of this. So I'm Company X and each of my windows PCs has an encrypted store of all my business proprietary information of what my employees are doing.
@lofl6968 It's quite possible but just remember the Steam Deck is a console first desktop PC second. It is not a normal Linux experience like Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, ect on an actual PC, well not without a good bit of work.
@@hopelessdecoyBazzite may be worth looking into. It’s a SteamOS replacement built from Fedora’s Atomic variants, but it has a great desktop experience as well. I’m currently running it on my laptop and it works great.
