DOS was a really bad experience. Terminal with Unix/Linux is very good. But if it is something available without text input and it works (everydays tasks), I prefer clicking over typing.
The windows command prompt is completely unintuitive to this day. PowerShell is stupidly verbose and nothing works like you would expect it to. The (ba)sh shell is so straightforward that if you get a little acquainted with it, you can sort of infer how to do other things you have never done before. It feels natural. It just fits.
I've used mission center with everything else, but now looking kde plasma and its highly customizable system monitor. Mission center is great and I would not be surprised if I would install it with kde plasma as well, because it works out the box and kde system monitor needs the customization for me. Deserved shout out in this video.
oh yea don't forget that both gnome and KDE have a memory leak resolver built in, they kill applications that take up all system memory instead of letting it crash your system
It's a kernel thing, it's called OOM or Out Of Memory Killer, it kills processes that are using all your RAM and preventing your system from functioning properly
I am now a linux user , Windows no more data collecting (just make sure to install the right distro bcuz some linux distros have keyloggers in them ,for example Ununtu)
Personally i find using the terminal faster, and i use the GUI only when i am bored or i have to do something which may dangerous or hard (like working with disk partitions)
@@Winnetou17 ah here is a winblows user trying to spread misinformation .. bruh you ONLY use the terminal because you want to.. but there has been GUI's for EVERYTHING you would need for a Desktop environment for well over 20 years... I don't know bout ya but I use the terminal in Linux about as much as I do command prompt or power shell in winblows. hence I ONLY have to use terminal for terminal ONLY things
@@tohur The only thing which blows here is you. Now, if you'd stop making a fool of yourself for a bit, you'd realize that if you what said (well, wrote) would've been true outside of an extremele narrow and niche case, then there wouldn't be people still arguing over it decades later. True, people arguing over it now shows that they don't know that much. But that absolutely was not the case 20+ years ago. In other worse, if that wasn't 100% BS from you, then Linux would've passed 10% a decade ago.
If you only browse the internet or use normal apps, then sure, but if you want to do some more administrative work then a terminal in Linux is a must. To my knowledge you can manage services using a GUI. I've yet to see a Linux distribution which comes with a GUI to manage your systemd services.
The information about disk management software on linux is exactly what i needed! I was tired of remounting my windows drive and putting a password down. Thank you Micheal!
You also could use /etc/fstab or systemd-mount for it, but that's config files, who loves tweaking config files without gui? Unfortunately i didn't see options for auto-mount in gparted or kde partition manager, that's why i learned to do stuff in fstab. But maybe i'm just bad at reading lol.
Nice to see the gui options. I'm an linux system administrator so it's my job to work with the terminal on servers. And therefore I also use it a lot on my laptop. What i really love about the vpn option: you can have multiple vpn connctions simultaneously. On mac and windows you need additional software for maybe getting two connections. On linux just turn on which connection you want.
I use the Terminal a lot, but opening the App Store and searching for new Apps is just perfect. Doesn't matter if it's GNOME or KDE. And remember guys, if you like or dislike an App, leave some Feedback for the Devs and other users like you and me :)
Windows Disk Management is cool and all but it's for innitializing drives and partitioning. Gnome Disk is more, including wiping the drive clean, like shredding paper clean. And I love it.
1:40 Also i think disk management on linux is MUCH superior to windows in many aspects, it can understand a lot more file systems, resizing and moving partitions is much more reliable, it has many more features, and the list just goes on.
It’s great for 90% of use cases, but sometimes I found myself needing to use other disk utilities, because gnome disk is simple and doesn’t have some features
I wanted to apply a corrective EQ for my headphones a while back and was happy to find Easy Effects. A really good recommendation for music lovers for sure.
When you compare Linux, it's entire makeup and philosophy from the kernel to the userspace, tools, components, etc. it seems *much* more simple than something like Windows. I have no idea what is going on with that operating system. The only simplicity in Window's is it has device and system configuration tools that are readily available in a GUI. Outside of that, Window's is a complete mess.
@@siz1700 That's probably true. And this is something Linux should really tackle given Microsoft's blunders lately. That said, you get into any territory where you may need to mess with the OS itself, I find Linux much more simple.
I have found that commands are rather helpful too. You copy paste and run and they do it for you. As you use more commands you start appreciating them and you can trust no command is malicious as there are comments almost everywhere who can shut down malicious people.
Although sometimes its challenging, once you get used to Linux and find your alternate applications, I've found I like using it more than windows. Especially multitasking and jumping between applications. (Fedora 40).
I don't really like this argument, as it is 100% possible to use Windows exclusively with the CMD or Powershell if it comes down to it. It's just that no one does it
@@MichaelNROH infact, a few months/years ago a update bug came in windows that MS asked normal users to fix using powershell (which intern lead to scammers linking to ps script with virus in it... )
@@MichaelNROH I use command line and scripts on Windows machines all the time too. CLI is so much more robust, concise and gets the job done much quicker. Idk honestly how regular users live without it.
In Windows, it is possible for a normal/non-power user to never to use DOS terminal in his entire life. On contrary, you can't use Linux without a Terminal. That's the actual problem. You can't expect a neurosurgeon or a photographer or anyone who just like to do their job without much hassle, to learn terminal commands. IMO, Linux os for desktop is still for those who got some time to play around and break their system. Expectation here is that these guys must know how to compile Linux kernel, and mention it to be not complex. This expectation is just stupid. BTW, I use Linux on desktop😊
Brother, can you do like a video tutorial on how to install for example your set up with Fedora, how you have it exactly. I.E set up for gaming/programming. I want to switch to a good Linux distro that it's not super technical to use, it looks nice and does all my things. There are not many good tutorials on YT, and I think you set up looks amazing.
@@catto-from-heaven All the tools he mentioned work just fine under KDE/Plasma. Besides for wifi hotspot and vpn config, but Plasma has simular options because they're just front-ends for network-manager.
I recently experienced extending the Mac display to an iPad. This worked perfectly and with a okay-ish input delay. Then I tried to replicate this experience on Linux ... it was just bad with iPad, Android and Chromestick-Devices. Huge delay - for typing maybe, everything else, nope.
I use a the terminal a lot because I prefer this way of working but I completely understand why most people just want a GUI and something that works "easily". (I'm a C/C++/Rust programmer and I use the terminal daily, I do a lot of things with it, I use GUIs less and less because I hate the way GUI works but it's a me problem, I'm more productive using a terminal on most things, but if GUIs works better for you then it's all good Linux is about choices :P)
À great idea for a next video, showing how to do all of this in the terminal also... Show the other side of the coin while explaining the steps and what they do
Added a keyboard shortcut for System Monitor (CTRL+Shift+ESC) and Characters (Super+.). Any other Windows function that is not typically in Linux I would want to add?
GNOME's System Monitor always felt lackluster. TIL about Mission Center, will check it out, thanks. Can you do a video with recommended non-default apps for GNOME and KDE respectively? I find some of GNOME's default apps too simple and replace them with others from the ecosystem, like gThumb for image viewer.

You have to know what those words are, and if it's for something I only have to set once, I'm not gonna remember it until I've fresh installed Linux several dozen times. For those sorts of things, a GUI is preferable.
UIs are a fool's paradise for Linux. They are useful (and only useful) when you don't know what you want to do. (Usually) For killing a task ps is superior to UI Task Managers but for imaging a disk Rescuezilla is superior to dd. The effort that goes into prettifying the UI would be better spent getting the important terminal commands to understand more natural human syntax
@@depayanmondal I'm using the extension called "Clipboard Indicator". You should be able to bind the shortcut like on Windows as well, though I haven't tested this
Mission center seems to want internet access. But why? I feel a bit .... uncomfortable, using it. The column resizing in it is also too janky too. Great app otherwise. Hotspot was janky on KDE. I created the hotspot but KDE wanted to connect to the hotspot instead of keeping the wifi connection I already had.
The only thing I don't like about flatpak is that some applications are created only for flatpak and this fragmentation leaves users having to install flatpak. For me flatpak uses way too much space.
Does the volume control app work on pipewire. Two more to go. Trackpad delay and youtube dropped frames (vaapi) hardware decoding (probably wrong flags)(intel jaskerlake) Update. I am not able to find the DTS audio processing mode on that pavu control or pwvucontrol. Please help.
As said, it's distro dependent what is available out of the box. If nothing is there, then you need to find and install the packages as per guide of your VPN provider
Noone types commands manually every time. Command history exists, autocomplete exists. Also you could save complex scenarios as scripts and simply run them even from GUI.
yep, we have more freedom here, and its getting to the windows level of gaming+software support, anyways steam deck exists and all my apps are supported!
hi michael i have latest pc 16 gb ram 512 gb nvme 24 inch dell monitor nvidia 610 g card which linux should i use . will manjaro support i am new to linux
Fedora workstation is better for beginners with latest hardware. If hardware is old, You can try Debian 12 desktop it is where I learnt Linux. Arch is complicated for beginners.
BUT THERE IS NO MIRACAST ON LINUX. On windows there is wireless display aka connect app which lets you miracast phone into your pc, and that way even control your phone inside pc
Let's talk about why disks are unmounted by default. About the fact that to get basic settings for video card voltage control, I need to write arguments to the kernel parameters. The fact that if you have a nvidia, you can't do anything about it at all. About how terrible the print service is, about how to create an l2tp connection. About how every environment has its own software and all this is configured differently. About scaling problems with multiple monitors with different resolutions. About Wayland and black screens. Linux = garbage and will always be garbage.
Disks unmounted by default is much better. Remember that when you'll get a faulty drive which simply hangs entire Windows when connected. Nvidia being garbage and not providing proper drivers is Nvidia's problem. AMD is all good here. Also in Linux you can deeply control your hardware without even needing 3rd party tools. "Everything is a file" philosophy allows you to go into say /sys/class/drm/card0 and control your GPU directly only having a file manager and a notepad. Or a terminal. Basically almost all problems down to skill issue. Learn how the system works once and then your abilities will be limitless.
@@mk72v2oq It all sounds like the sermons of a sectarian with a technical bent. If a system disk fails, it will not start the system, and if a non-system disk fails, it will not hang the system 99% of the time. That there are no problems on AMD is a lie and an exaggeration. Yes, everything is not as bad as on nvidia, but the phrase “everything is good there” is definitely not up to the mark. In general, your arguments are not only unconvincing, they are mostly absurd in their essence. However, it is for such people that linux is home, apparently.
