Steam ProtonDB is a game changer. I have like 20 steam games and all of them work on Linux, no hiccups or issues. Even the Bioware Mass Effect games work on Steam.
Let's join the Linux authority of Ubuntu Diamond, Fedora Diamond, Arch Diamond and the great Gentoo Diamond. Windows is fine, IOS & MacOS is horse crap, Android and ChromeOS great cuz Linux, BSD decent but we shall The Linux Authority supreme peak.
Well it is more than a fork of Wine: for each game, Proton manually gets the set of specific resources needed, will download and install them for each game you install via this method. That is up to the editor's choice to make a custom script just for Proton, if I'm not mistaken.
What's really doing the heavy lifting in Proton is something called DXVK. All it does is translate Direct3D calls to Vulkan, it's so simple but so effective. If it didn't exist, Proton wouldn't exist...
@@ID10T_ERROR_ Steam ProtonDB is a game changer. You can now play any windows game and it can run just about 98 percent of all steam games. Just be sure to update to the latest version and it'll do its magic. Proton also allows you to launch bioware games and the bioware launcher simultaneously, but you can only do that via purchasing the bioware games via steam and installing it. The trick is to use "Proton Experimental" for the first time after each game install and launch for the first time. After that, switching to latest Proton version which I believe is Proton 9.0-2

@@flyingcheesecake3725 OK. Recall is "out".. Recall is pushed out to the masses as an option; months or years later, the feature is turned on, maybe by a government mandate or for whatever reason. People notice, but find that the data is not going out to the internet; so people let their guard down.. Several months, or maybe a year or two later, MS decides, quietly, to "back that data up to the cloud", you know, to protect your AI data.. You don't really notice because your multi-gig network connection does things so fast, or the data is transmitted while you are not using your computer.. hmm. Once that data is collected, well, its' MS's data, which by the way, they can sell to whomever they decide to.. hmm.
Rember: Windows doesn't have more games because it is good; it has more games because it is popular. If the popularity drops, you'll see macOS and Linux get tons of games. Damn, consoles could be worth it again too!
@@roa4031 How about required subscription for consoles to have internet connected? Or games price? (example, elden is always more expensive on PS5 than on PC) Or the amount of free games and games in total? How about hardware upgrades? (I managed to match PS4 and PS5 with one PC, needed 1 GPU upgrade but the total cost was not much higher than two consoles bought when they were "current gen", maybe $100?) PC gaming is cheaper - by A LOT. Your perception is just very shallow.
Lol, because of backward compatibility issue (basically you will lose all your previous purchases, for an empty app store..) 90% of the users will say no thanks.. and that is still the majority, developers will never choose the platform with low market share.. because the reacheable users are their pozential profit.. what do you think where you can get more money, where are 95% of the users or where are the 5%? And even if developers choose a new environment for their work, that will be the MacOS with about yearly 300million gameing capable devices sale (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop use, and can run the same source code natively), and also the Apple app store is the most profitable store on the planet (don't forget the store earning is the 15-30% cut from the price, if that is more, than the remain 85-70% is more too like in other stores, even if the Google store have higher amount of users, the piracy there is also insane, so the store and the developers are earn less like at Apple..) So why would anybody choose the Linux with almost zero market share when they can develop apps for Apple, who alone earn more money in the store like the Google + Playstation + Steam store together, so the devs are also earn more (less piracy is more profit for the devs too, not just for Apple..)
Mr. Bill(Billing)Baits won't allow it. Why so? To maintain Monopoly of OS. And as for now, u must install n run WinNo 11 to install Linux. So, how do u fix datto?
Yeah it's crazy every printer I've had needed some extra software on windows that worked out of the box on Linux. Weird since a lot of things do require more tweaking on linux
@@revapzDisclaimer: This is my understanding of how a Kernel level Anticheat works, might contain misinformation. A Kernel Level Anticheat (KLA, or Level-0 AntiCheat) is different from "regular" AntiCheat like EAC or BattlEye. The "regular" AntiCheat only runs, while the software is running, protecting the software from third-party mods/cheats, which alters the softwares code. A Level-0 anticheat (referred to as a KLA) works differently, as it is running as a System-Service on your device, no matter if the game is running or not (it gets started on the OS-Boot). This allows the KLA to monitor low-level cheats, which alter the softwares reserved memory space. Since the KLA is running as a system service, injecting into the memory space of the software is hardly possible. (I don't say it's impossible, there may be ways to go around, but hardly). To pass around a KLA, it is possible to use so-called "offline-cheats". Seperate hardware, which analyze the memory-space before the KLA triggers on a different machine. This however is more expensive, since you need additional hardware and a deep understanding of how a computer works. While many gamers don't care about a KLA, since "It just works", the KLA could be used by the company to additionally collect data of you. Since many users already use Windoze and use the phrase "I don't have anything to hide", those users don't care, if their data is being collected and sold. But if you value your privacy, stay away from games with a KLA (and best from Windoze).
@@revapzwithout using toolkits for kernel driver analysis and debugging, other user-mode apps won’t be able to trace what this anricheat is doing. It can just send your whole traffic, files from all hard drives and much more to some shady corpos.

As both linux and windows user i can agree to the things mentioned. However, theres a couple things you need to know more about linux, linux is like your own operating system, you have full control but might aswell be careful, things can break here an there, and theres always a way to fix it. But if you value your time and want something that just works fine everytime, well i think its better for you to stick with windows. Linux does works fine, but sometimes in some occasion it breaks, it happens, so prepare yourself for it.
Never broken in 20 years of use and even power break causes little problem. I use the command line nearly everyday Never had the equivalent of the Blue screen of death. About only thing I don’t do is gaming( not because I can’t just not interested)
If you value your time use Windows is hilarious to me. But I’ve been working in IT for more than a quarter of a century. Let’s just say: You’re mileage may vary, wildly.
I just updated my free street trash linux system in 15 seconds and didn't need to reboot and watch a thing swirl around for 45 minutes so I could finally play a game...... Life is good.
@@tulenich9948 Yea but it is not only updates, many programs need to reboot after installation because it adds something to PATH or something, and windows doesn't work with that straight away, and then also some registry keys are added that require a reboot to apply
We've been debating for years that Linux is superior. The real issue, in my opinion, is that major companies like Adobe and Riot are simply, yes, foolish, and they HATE LINUX. Additionally, engineering companies like Autodesk don't fully support Linux. People tend to prioritize their money, comfort, and gaming experiences over their privacy. Instead of telling people, "Switch to Linux! The time has come!" it would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux. After this post, I don't want to be seen as a Windows supporter. I am, in fact, a strong advocate for Linux, but we can't reach a solution by ignoring the facts. We must accept reality and work to improve it. We need to push application developers to support Linux. The Linux market needs less fragmentation, more widespread application repositories, more stable releases, and more standardized file formats so that a developer doesn't have to create software for Debian, Debian-based distributions, Red Hat, Red Hat-based distributions, Arch-based distributions, and so on. For instance, the "yay" package manager in Arch is very useful. Similarly, "apt" in Debian is extensive and relatively easy to use. What I'm trying to say is that starting a big Linux revolution with a common package installer across all Linux distributions could grant people freedom. Linux already meets your needs in every way. If you're not satisfied with a package manager, you can change it later. It's your computer, so only you can decide what's best for it. And please, don't tell me why these package managers don't work on other distributions. I know that. I'm not suggesting we make the 'yay' library work perfectly on Ubuntu or every other distribution. What I'm saying is that, even if it means creating a new package manager, we need one that works optimally across all distributions. This way, people will be less fearful and more free when choosing a distribution. As I mentioned earlier, this package manager should be replaceable if desired. This might seem contrary to the Linux philosophy, but think about how we can improve. Even if you argue that this isn't the issue, admit that someone willing to give up all Windows applications might still be confused when they can't apply what they learned on Arch to Debian and have to start a new learning process. This is completely inefficient. Furthermore, before recommending Linux, you should advise people to practice in a virtual machine to prevent data loss on their systems. Most Linux distributions don't limit you in ways that Windows might. Instead, when you say, "Hello, Linux, let's wipe my system," the response will be, "Just become root." Moreover, a wrong command can damage your drivers because you have the power to modify them. When you talk about the expansiveness and customizability of Linux, you must also mention its potential downsides. In short, my personal view is that in these times of high computer illiteracy, which is unfortunately normal (though it shouldn't be), if these people switch to Linux, they'll likely slow themselves down, reduce their capabilities, and mess up their systems. Before blaming Microsoft, we should look in the mirror and ask why so many mistakes are made and why, despite these issues, Windows remains the most popular operating system for personal use worldwide. We need to understand why people prefer Windows and work on correcting our mistakes.
By the way, when I said in my comment 'It would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux,' I meant, for example, you mentioned Wine but didn't talk about how to install it or any additional settings. I'm not saying you should do that, by the way; I think your video was highly unnecessary. Telling people to switch to Linux for a feature in Windows is clearly disrupting their work and comfort. How can we invite them to Linux when it's not providing a 100% benefit and might even cause harm? This makes us look bad and breaks trust in our community. Lastly, telling people to switch to Linux by giving up some applications and accepting alternatives is also damaging to the community. This should be acknowledged.
Companies that develop software that my school needs and don't really care about Linux is probably the reason why I'm on Windows. Hopefully I can get on Linux once I get a better PC with plenty of time to setup.
3:45 unironically most printers run fine when you just select the generic IPP printer driver, unlike windows' convoluted way to install driver software
because windows drivers gives you dedicated software unlike linux drivers, imagine using printer to print, you mix colors, you do a lot of other stuff with it, without software it's a rock
Just switched to Linux 24 years ago, I'm still watching how things go without the virus, the blue screen, the HD fragmentation, the lack of choices, the freezings, the total disrespect to the consumer rights... until now I'm liking... A LOT!!! 🥰❤️🌟🐧
Please, If you wish to move to Linux, start with Mint with a Cinnamon DE (Desktop Environment) as a beginner in a VM (Virtual Machine). It's painless. So, if something goes wrong, it will be in a sandbox. Or just put an image on a usb flash drive if you only want to get the feel for it. Almost everything you'll need to get started is either pre-installed or can be downloaded from the app store.
I apologize in advance for my bad English, I am not fluent in it and have to use Deepl. My personal opinion is that the first distribution should be Arch or similar, which have sufficiently detailed documentation. This will deprive a beginner of many problems with understanding the operating system, while distributions positioning themselves as "user-friendly" do not allow you to familiarize yourself with their internals.
@@Phantom_of_Makhnovshchina I agree, at least for people who are a bit more tech savvy. People say arch is intimidating, it really isn't. Archinstall script makes it extremely easy to install, and the pacman commands are super easy to remember. And if you have any trouble, the documentation is amazing and there are tons of forum posts with helpful info. Arch is king.
@@pantarei. i already did, i use this smartphone just to surf youtube that's it nothing else no insta but yeah whatsapp cuz my university use whatsapp so there's nothing i can do but yeah I will make a program that will forward messages from whatsapp to telegram ^^
I've switched to Linux Mint on my main PC almost a month and I'm happy with it overall. Definitely much better than being under the mercy of Microsoft and putting up with their endless shenanigans. This also encouraged my little brother to switch to Linux as well :).
just changed from Ubuntu to Mint after leaving Windows last year, I think it is better for newbies but I have had to resolve a couple of issues related to unapproved flatpaks - I removed and downloaded the tar.gv and went from there
Only 4% of the universe is using Linux out of their mom's basement, Microsoft Windows is the only option we have in the meantime until something takes over the corporate world.
@@AAA79797 now go and look at what the corporate world is using on their desktops. That is what this is all about. Desktop computing for the average user and until people can walk into any Computer store and find Linux installed on Laptops/Desktops. Linux will not win the hearts and mind of the majority.
My daily use of Linux comes from my steam deck. I have started using it as my desktop computer and have had no issues to speak of. Most of my daily computing is done on my iPad, so for slightly heavier, lifting I use my sting deck.
I was also thinking the same. Maybe because they work on every distro. But should've used apt/pacman/rpm first and if not available then flatpack or snap.
Man I love paying 50-100$ for Wİndows licenses for each computer I buy! I sure hope that a free and open source operating system does not replace Windows.
it will just be there...benign.....until a (secret) update makes it malignant... and the unsuspecting user will not know about it.... until its too late....
Don't care. The fact that they wanted to do it in the first place is enough for me. For a $200 ransom, er, license fee, I will NOT be told how I can and cannot use the personal computer *I* ( NOT Microshaft ) paid $3000 to build. I turned off updates over a year ago because of Microshaft and their bullshit. I will NOT have them doing whatever they please with my files. I've already heard from the handful of people that write access to their files has been restricted.
I am a Linux gamer. In my usecase, 100% of my Steam/GOG games work. I use "Pop_OS!" (nvidia version) as my distro as everything just works. I switched to KDE though as I don't like gnome, I dont notice a performance hit between the two. System76 (online store for Linux PCs) makes Pop_OS, so that will be my next PC. So long Microsoft, and thanks for the fish.
The 5 games I play work perfectly, I have absolutely no reason to even pretend to use windows. I likely couldn't afford to install it on all my computers anyways. 😂
In your case? Yeah, in my case that would end up in 100h+ marathon to get them working (simracing), not to mention the wheel that might snap my hands if the linux driver is buggy (and im not even sure if there is one) and then not being able to access since it will think Im a cheater (iRacing, maybe some other games as well). No thank you.
@@ThePsycho211 Very specific niche user case, which everyone comes up with while justifying getting screwed by windblows. Mine was "but mY One gAme no Wurk". But I eventually realized if we don't use it there will never be drivers or anything forever. In the end 20 years later my game works. Remember that your wheels and gizmos don't work because the people you bought it from didn't make any drivers which isn't the fault of the operating system.
Yeah, when I heard about Recall three weeks ago I was done with Windows. Switched to Fedora Kde and never been more happier with my main operating system
I tried switching to linux and it worked about as well as my years old windows 11 install. Which is to say drivers were broken, random things didn't work, and it seemed like I needed to go into the os files to make a small settings tweak. A fresh windows 10 install worked fine however.
To be fair this isn't any different from what google apple does to you me personally linux is terrible for my specific needs so I'm stay with Microsoft but good video entirely to alerting more about how much company's spy on you.
0:45 Why does recall feature earn MS more money? The only way I see it makes them money is if MS is somehow selling data from the recall snapshots to other parties?
Terminal? What's this? I'm on linux mint now and the only time I needed to use the terminal for something I couldn't do with a gui was to source-build an old program, but I probably could've found a gui program to do that too.
I really, REALLY want to switch to Linus from Windows 11, but I love games. A lot of games use anti-cheat as you mentioned and the games I play use highly different types of anti-cheat. I don't want to use windows anymore, but I can't switch to Linus because the games I play won't work anymore. This sucks.
BIG QUESTION: I am noticing the vast majority of new laptops by the major computer manufacturers are replacing the Right Control key with an AI Copilot key. WHY?!
I switched to Linux (Ubuntu) a few months ago, I really like it so far. All the applications I used on Windows daily worked natively so it was quite easy to make that choice. 😉
Since i got my steam deck, i'm REALLY considering switching to Linux now (The deck has a custom linux OS made by valve for those who are not aware) I mean, beside playing videogames and working remotely (thanks Rustdesk) and browsing the internet, i'm not doing much with it, so i don't need any microsoft store bullshit
I continue watching videos about Linux like this one and it keeps giving me mental pain I'm a game developer, I work in an industry that pretty much completely ignores Linux. You can now build your games for Linux, but you can only go fuck yourself if you want to use Linux to build said games I have no ability to use anything but Windows, and I think it'll stay this way for many years to come
The GUI at least for distributions like Mint/Ubuntu is complete enough that most new users will be fine sticking to it rather than dealing with the terminal. Using Mint I actually haven't had to use the terminal to do anything, it's been a personal choice on my part to use it, because I'm old and still like using Music on Console (MOC) to play my music. Everything I'd normally need to do can be done with a GUI much like with Windows so I feel new users would be fine using it like that, much like learning cmd or ps on Windows the terminal is something for more advanced users to learn and play with if they wish more so than mandatory learning for the average user that's going to largely just use a web browser most of the time or play the odd game or edit the odd document.
if you guys dont really want linux,you can try some modified windows versions,kinda of like distros but not open sourced,there is atlas os,tiny10/11,ghost spectre the only disvantage that sometimes there is no windows updates,Windows security (unless you install a antivirus),or even sometimes failing (one case was the printer but changing to atlas os fixed it)
I am currently deleting system32 (on my physical machine) and switching to my second boot: Debian. Im still gonna dualboot because i want to try multiple distros at once.
In a Linux comradeship, Windows users are considered novice, and its the same community that suggests Windows users to switch to Linux that was never meant to be a desktop operating system. This is ironic and for most new Linux users, the affair with the Tux is pretty much over when they want to install a software not bundled with the distort. Enter The Terminal.
I’ve been using Arch Linux for half a year now, my verdict is that I feel more secure than on Windows and I don’t have to worry about data theft and a virus getting onto my PC
I've been using Mint Linux as a dual boot for 2 weeks now as a test and ... other than Affinity Photo. Even for gaming, between Steam and Heroisc Launcher ... I'm well taken care of. I may clear my system and re do another dual boot but proper this time for the odd time I do need windows for something.
If you worry about privacy then don’t go online. Every company spies on you. Your phone collects the most data. Linux is great but like most companies they sell your data too. Ain’t nothing free.
I installed Ubuntu 24 and I back to Windows after 24h, very bad font rendering, glitch, lags, once my PC is freeze I must do press restart button to get back it to work, after that I try Arch and same, all is very bad, Linux is very bad OS I don't know how people can use this s. But also I don't thing that Recall is problem because looks we never can official get it, need to have some supported CPU for that, but also maybe you need to make video how spying you your mobile phone that is most dangerous things. Windows users will never switch to Linux because Windows is working very good now and also strange but MS decide to focus more on Developers now, this means all what I can do on Linux i can do same and better on MS Windows now, WSL2 and Dev Drive is amazing things for users who need that.
I have 5 computers... - a pre-internet, pre-Windows console computer from the late 70's/early 80's (TI-99/4A) - a Core2Duo HP laptop with a "Built for WindowsVista" sticker on the bottom. - a 7th gen i7 HP Ultrabook. - an 8th gen Intel NUC. - a Rizen7 3700x desktop with a 3000 series GPU (3060RTX - I'm not a rich kid for a 3070 or 3080) The laptops are not TPM 2.0 compliant. The Core2Duo has Zorin OS 16.3 Pro, The Ultrabook has Zorin OS 17.1 Pro. Both received a MAJOR bump in performance and seeing as these are not gaming computers they do everything they did under windows. The NUC (my HTPC) is entirely windows 11 compatible (as Microsoft reminds me ad-nauseum). As soon as EOS drops, it will become my 3rd Linux system. The Desktop IS a gaming computer (albeit a low performance one so it will stay on Windows until I work on understanding Proton and Wine better - hopefully by January 2025) You're preaching to the choir brother. Installing Linux makes a computer-hobby fun again. Like my TI-99/4a has done for over 40 years. It has just been nearly 26 years since I had fun on a Windows computer (back when you had full control over skinning the OS in XP before Win7 removed most low-level customization options from the user.) Zorin allows me to switch my GUI with a single click and fully personalize it with a few Terminal commands. Once you've had a Penguin, you'll never go back.
I made the complete switch to Kubuntu when Recall and the EOL for Windows10 was announced, and I will never go back. I've had very good luck with gaming on it with Proton.... After fighting with the Nvidia drivers to install correctly and not lock my entire system up. Nvidia drivers hate Hybrid graphics. But after that initial battle, Linux on my gaming laptop is the best damn thing I have ever done. I genuinely get better performance in major games now, and have less stability issues. I have a feeling this is because of how Proton emulates Windows. Each game gets it's own dedicated environment, so there's no bloat or clutter. The only painful exception has been VR, but that's purely because Meta/Oculus refuses to offer any software support for their headsets on Linux, so my Quest 2 has no way to talk to my PC (Sadly I couldn't get ALVR to work.) So for now I am having to dual boot Windows10 Just for VR stuff, until I can afford a Valve Index. As for the games not working with Proton because the Anti cheats won't work on the Linux filesystems, usually you can just make a partition or set up another drive with NTFS, and dedicate it for those games. Proton stores the files for each emulation environment on the same drive the game is installed.
Linux just sucks for anything other than browsing the web and programming. And NAW, i ain't using libri office or whatever that dollar tree version is. Literally nothing works on linux including all games, and NO im not gonna use wine and NO im not gonna use proton which crashes atleast 2 mins after starting the game due to a missing dll. I've experienced all this shit and gave up after like a week. Windows/Mac all the way to go! Community sucks too btw. Linux users just appear in ANY os discussion whether is about windows or mac. They just linux to mask up the fact that they have like 2008 hardware or something. And the trumpcard of any linux user (on the internet) is "bloat" or "spyware". Like, who actually cares? For businesses? NO. Enterprise always has disabled telemetry. If you use linux, great! go for it! but if you wanna boast about it or just appear in any discussion that is NOT related to linux, nothing to say.
@@soyuzrocket69 ye for watching youtube on it, literally stated in my comment. Dont even mention proton. I've used it and gosh its SO annoying. I need work done and that's windows for. No hate to linus torvalds, he's a revolutionary. I just hate all the linux fanboys. I can see your sweaty fingers typing "says the windows fanboy" or some shit but its ALWAYS the linux users who start being nosey.
Truthfully, it doesn't really matter what OS you use... if you want to preserve your privacy get off of the internet, ditch the cell phone, and "smart" devices. The root issue is the internet all together. I know it's the candy you can't live without but those are the facts.
Yeah but you don’ just use devices for internet bruh. This is such an ignorant comment. And most jobs require a computer and the internet. These videos are here to help because you almost have no choice but to use devices anyway so using the right OS is the answer apparently.
@@name______6870 It is actually very valid. My point was that privacy and our modern connected lifestyle do not coexist. If there is a way out then there is a way in.
@@Jfarr1978 alright, but probably those who have rich parents that don’ have to worry about everything (school, money, work, etc.) are the only ones that can go in fully isolated from the internet and technology in this digital age. Most doesn’t really have a choice since these things are a ‘must’ now. We gotta compromise and find a way to still keep our data secured, choosing the right OS is one of them.
and also PS4 or Xbox controllers works out of the box if you have kernel ver 5.12 or later it will work and much better than windows that always rely on 3rd party software (linux does too but its not a hassle)
Another Linux fanboy trying to find an excuse to make you use what he wants. And no, I'm not saying W11 is great... But there are more than just "one" Windows operating system in existence, like a Windows 10 for example. Surprise! What a plot-twist...
In 3 months, "Why I switched back to Windows". Linux is a sink hole for your time. I expect things to work without having to spend 2 hours trying to figure out which dependency, driver or whatever else I'm missing. Plug and play, that is the Windows experience, and most people complaining about Windows and switching to Linux learn it the hard way. Besides, recall is not as bad as people think it is, at least once they will have encrypted the recall database on the system. If you are concerned about privacy, stop using big techs software or services all together. Good luck with that.
that why i cant switch to linux now, but once i got a laptop or computer who work out of the box on linux i might switch. i dont want to search hours and hours on how to install wifi driver and use ethernet as ethernet is pretty incoveniant on a laptop
I don't understand why people like yourself speak so confidently about this as if you know. You don't know. If you're ready to surrender your privacy to big tech, go ahead, but don't blame it on Linux, which is a perfectly serviceable OS. Blame it on your own passiveness and unwillingness to learn, despite how easy it actually is.
If you are unfamiliar with an OS and lack skills then things can take time to figure out. But that's more a you problem than a shortcoming of the OS. I can list out every library a binary is linked to in milliseconds. Which is far from 2 hours. Linux has a command that'll do exactly that. I know what it is too. Drivers can be more time consuming.
I'm a Windows lover, and a Microsoft Defender (ha!) and even I thnk that Windows Recall is a terrible idea. However, Microsoft never portrayed Windows Recall to be "mandatory", but enabled by default. Thankfully MS dialed back their position since the release of this video and now Windows Recall is disabled by default. Good. But it's unlikely that independent security researchers had anything to do with it. One person can never be as influential as, say, the U.S. DoD, RTX Corp., McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Toyota, etc. The true cause behind this change was probably CIOs and CISOs at large enterprises that approached their Microsoft reps and strongly expressed their concerns.
I just wish Flatpak didn't have so many restrictions due to sandboxing, for example, by default GTK flatpak doesn't follow system themes, not even vanilla Breeze on KDE You have to jump through so many hoops to get it to match the rest of the system, instead of using the default white themes. Snapcraft is controversial. I only use flatpak as a backup in case the native version fails, i.e. "lollypop", a music player, the flatpak version works fine while the native version doesn't.
I can’t read the comments because the majority are so full of bs. If you want to safe yourself some troubles don’t use Linux as desktop os. Linux is good for surver purposes, it’s horrible as desktop use, safe yourself 5 years of distro hopping just to figure out there is almost 0 use case for using Linux as desktop os.
I left linux because the keyboard input languages so bad. I need to fast switch between multiple languages, but there is no app or distro good for this.😢😢😢
I'm extremely tempted to make the jump to Linux... But, I'm also hesitant as I don't know if specific programs used for modding Farming Simulator and trainz will work... plus all the extra gaming peripherals software for Logitech, Thrustmaster, etc... Will it use hard drive space if I do a backup?
using "privacy" as a main reason to ditch windows is almost stupid in 2024. you lost your privacy the moment you browsed on the web on any browsing capable device. The only issue I see with windows recal is if they use it to catch people committing piracy as if they weren't already capable of doing so already without recal..(which hasnt happened from my knowledge). As for copilot, it,s a very useful tool and that is a fact not an opinion, if it gives wrong answers its generally because you suck at promt engineering. To deny it and say its "useless" and its just windows "bloatware" is a just a blind stupid take.
If it wasn't for gaming I would've switched to linux long ago plus I've been using windows for like 18 years its hard for me to switch like that , I do cyber security stuff so I use linux but on virtual machines
me watching this as a arch user since 2020. (unironically, great video, happy to see linux being pushed for a normal daily driver OS. would love to see anticheats support linux so i can switch fully already!)
I would recomment linux mint as well. As a windows user, it was a really good experience to use it for years for work. It's fast, make sense, and it's linux, so it's only can be good! :D
i do really like Linux, but damn i couldn't move my online games to there, and after a few tries, i removed it and back to windows, wish maybe on the feature online games with anticheat will be supported
@@musicsimp536 I've already tried many distros. My gaming laptop has tons of driver issues on Linux. For example, display brightness is really low and inverted.
and i head about the fact that those data collected from you will stay inside your system only and be used to personalize the AI, so it can perform tasks for you. ????? is it right??
This has really been the final kick I needed to dump windows after using it since XP, Windows 10 was already a horrendous experience. Looking forward to giving them the middle finger.
I switched to Mint Mate in February 2020 after MS ceased supportiing Win7 and I have been very happy and haven't looked back. I have WIn10 installed on a spare SSD but I never use it. I migrated my computer illiterate Japanese mother-in-law's laptop to Mint Cinnamon and she's been pleased ever since.
