Sneaky Alternatives to Windows 10 (that you didn't know about)
Today we're picking up where we left off from last week's video on preparing for Windows 10 EOL next year. I'll link it here:
ua-cam.com/video/Uk3B-5tzwYg/v-deo.htmlsi=MO1inhWqReW4KJN_
We're going to explore the process of 'testing' Linux Mint 22 'Wilma' on a Windows 10 Computer to make sure it suits our needs. In preparation for this, we'll download the Linux ISO and download Balena Etcher to flash the ISO on a USB Drive.
After testing, we'll install Linux and install a few apps and take a tour to show the similarities Linux has with Windows!
Please comment on which distros of Linux you've tried and what you use it for and Subscribe to Mackey Tech if you haven't done so already!

I'm also still using Win10 and already tried Arch Linux on Virtual Machine. Maybe I'll migrate to Arch before Win10 supports ends in 2025.
@@rinaldir8628 Is Arch your first Linux distro?
I replaced Windows in 2017 with Linux and never looked back. Windows has become a ad and spyware filled piece of crap. MX Linux Xfce. Quick and easy to use for a simple user like me. I don't need the latest and greatest. I don't game, develop or script. Just email and browser to watch sports and Netflix.
@@johanb.7869 Yeah Windows is a cesspool of garbage and constant spamming to use one drive and edge.. I cant stand it
My journey into Linux started with a Raspberry Pi. I then tried Linux Mint on an old laptop. I replaced the drive so if it didn't work out I could restore the original drive, and never looked back. I eventually formatted the windows drive and used it for something else.
@@andrewd4906 Oh yes; Linux on the Pi is a lot of fun! What sort of productivity apps or games do you run?

Sneaky Alternatives to Windows 10 (that you didn't know about) = and you talk about Linux Mint? Everybody knows it! Click bait
@@firstlast1299 I discuss Linux as an alternative to Windows and reiterate the point a few times throughout the video. Thanks for your comment, though!
Linux Mint has replaced Win and MacOS on all my computers, ranging from an old MacBookPro (2008) to iMac, PC and MacMini...
Tried tons of distros over the years but mostly using Peppermint and Solydx nowadays. On my testing pcs i change them a lot.
THEYVE BEEN SAYING THAT SINCE WINDOWS 95/VISTA
Yes! As rough and as unintuitive as Lennox was back in the late 1990s, it was a far cry from Windows’ constant and notorious BSD!
If Linux could play "the games" then i would switch in an instant. It does everything else I need, but until it runs them or devs make Linux versions, there's no point in making the move which is a tad annoying because i want to get away from M$
I couldn’t agree with you more! I would miss my D4 😂
Which games do you play that don't work on Linux currently?
@@donaldbaird7849 I think by the use of term "The Games" they probably mean some games generally as some anti-cheats don't work properly. Use PUBG for instance, don't think that works still.
I’m running Linux mint 22 is great I’m about 4 months using it 👍👌
@@hec07 Very nice! Thanks for the comment!
Yes it totally can, if you don't care about (or don't have) Dolby audio and HDR, or IR camera for logon. Aside of that, yeah Linux can be great, if you have the time to figure it out first. Otherwise, Windows with debloat and firewall to block the BS is best for 99% people. Source: been trying to switch to Linux for past 15 years.
@@fingpolak Agreed! If Microsoft wasn’t such a pig by constantly pushing Edge and One drive in addition to its questionable privacy practices, I would be much more of a fan! What’s your Linux distro of choice?
what you have to do, is remove all partitions EFI and MRT also Primary partition, as Linux EFI is different, and will sometimes fails to install also same goes when installing windows 11 due to MRT changed to GPT partition
Are you referring to dual booting?
@@MackeyTech installing or installing new OS sometimes the program dose not change the partitions correctly and sometimes you have to make sure all partition are removed from the hdd or you could get failed install or the OS to run due to boot partition not set up right. the nuc might just need a firmware update or the hdd formatted correctly.
I find that its incredibly easy to brick Linux distros (if they even install correctly) I've had worse luck in the past 15 years with it than I have with Windows for 35 years. Also in 2024 I shouldn't HAVE to compile things or run a terminal to install basic software. Can I use a terminal? yes, but I honestly OCD about not having a GUI.
I tried teaching my 80 year old parents how to use Linux. My dad seems to get the basics, but my mom couldn't care less. lol I think if I can get their games to run on it, it'd be fine since that's all they really do. Older games like Hoyle Card Games I can't get to work even with Proton and Wine.
Are you suffering from Command Line Complex (CLC)? Symptoms may include: - Uncontrollable urge to mention your favorite distro in every conversation - Sudden onset of superiority when discussing command line interfaces - Compulsive need to gatekeep Linux forums - Severe inflammation of the ego when challenged on technical knowledge Command Line Complex (CLC) affects 3 in 5 Linux users. But there's hope with new Humbledox™. Humbledox™ is a revolutionary treatment that may help alleviate symptoms of Command Line Complex (CLC). In clinical trials, 78% of patients reported decreased gatekeeping behavior and a 50% reduction in unwarranted feelings of superiority. Side effects may include: - Increased empathy towards new Linux users - Sudden realization of knowledge gaps - Urge to contribute positively to the open-source community - Improved social interactions in tech circles Ask your doctor if Humbledox™ is right for you. Because life's too short to be a pseudo-expert. Humbledox™ - Embrace the community, not the complexity.
No. Windows has Edge, Copilot, comes with remote assist included, runs Office 365, common commercial software and games, so I fail to see Linux as an alternative to desktop use unless you are a very basic user who only needs a web browser and an email client.
@@TechTusiast thanks for the feedback! The only thing missing from Linux would be something analogous to Copilot and I haven’t read very favorable reviews of copilot stay tuned for my next video where I’m going to discuss alternatives to office 365!
I have 3 systems two are on a rack, one desktop. LM 22 is on one on the rack used as a Blender rendering system the other is my desktop. The third runs TrueNAS scale for my movies, tv shows, music and backups. I dual boot between Win 10 Pro and Linux Mint when I need bare metal Windows for some games that don't run well under Proton or Lutris. I also have Win 10 pro virtual machine on the Linux side of my desktop system for quick things that I can get away with instead of rebooting.
I recently switched to arch Linux with X11 and way happier on this than Windows 11. I mainly use it for pc gaming stuff like steam, discord, web browsing, and will be using it with vr soon.
@@steveb6817 Thanks for comment! I’ve not used X11, I’ll have to give it a go!
Ive used Windows since the 90's and started using Ubuntu 7 years ago. In the last 6 months I have tried Mint and i love it. I now use Linux Mint 21.3 for 95% of my computer usage. Yeah I think Linux Mint will replace many Windows users who are tired of the failed updates and of course the awful Windows 11 which I will skip completely and stick with 10 Pro and I still have a music recording tower with 7 Pro I still use. As far as everyday stuff I will continue with Mint.
@@mauer62 I came from Ubuntu also and really like Mint much better also because it’s rock solid! Thanks for the comment and feedback!
I have used Windows for decades and since they moved to NT kernel, I have not encountered any stability issues, stuck updates or the like. When "Windows crashes" it basically means your hardware is faulty or overclocked too far. The few machines I receive with update issues are drastically underpowered and update took so long Windows assumed something went wrong and returned situation before update. We are talking Celeron-class CPUs with 4Gb on RAM and a soldered USB stick as a harddrive (eMMC) here. People who claim to have Windows issues tend to be Linux users and sometime Apple users. People who actually use Windows are mostly just fine unless they chose hardware poorly.
I spent years on Mint before switching to Manjaro. I have Manjaro on two PC's and Arch on another. Manjaro and other distros that have KDE as a desktop environment choice I personally think are a much closer visual approximation and familiarity to Windows than Mint and any of their desktop environments offered are. I learned more about linux by getting away from the hand holding newbie distro's.
Manjaro is definitely on my list to check out! Thanks for your comment 😎
I installed Linux Mint yesterday on an old Asus computer. Had to format the usb stick to fat32. Only then the usb did start Linux. It runs very smooth.
@@prutser132 Ahh that’s good advice! Thanks for the feedback
I got rid of Windows years ago and have never looked back.I was dual booting Windows and Linux for years and not long after the dawn of Windows 10 moved permanently to Linux only.I would never go back to using such a bloated,spyware ridden and malware ridden piece of crap as Microsoft creates,I am Linux and BSD only now and always will be.
@@derekr54 I definitely can see what mean about Windows! I hate the ads and spamming about using Office and OneDrive… What Distro do you use?
@@MackeyTech I use quite a few distro's,Linux Mint,Fedora,Ubuntu,MX Linux,Solus,open SUSE Tumbleweed and Manjaro at the moment on my Desktop and laptops.
No, because Linux isn't Windows. That's what's good about Linux.
There’s definitely a lot of benefits to running Linux!
@@MackeyTech Sure are!
@@notjustforhackers4252Definitely more so than Windows! It just a little more time to bake to support more games ❤

4TH option ........... Linux
@@Jimbo-v3m The video was geared towards the non-tech savvy but I will be doing a follow up video for option 4 😎. I appreciate the feedback
3 options? win11(bad idea) tiny11(bad idea) or mac(not so much spy but still spy...) or the hated linux (best idea no spy) give mint ubuntu or "wubuntu" a chance, i go last year from 11 to arch best idea too much more freedom in my life ;D thanks windows for the much bugs last year too wipe all my data let me not install again win11 and ban my expensive windows accounts, thanks so much linux is so much easier vs 30years windows and dos the funny thing is the most windows guys are mmod the reg files really often to use win11 longer or win11 is better instead to simply use a better OS ;D but this guys are the guys who mean evertime linux terminal sucks... really modding windows is easier then learn an easier os?
auto-unattended xml file configured W10 or W11 is my way. My preferred set-up iso for each on 2 usb sticks.
I haven’t tried booting unattended like that; I’ll have to look into. thanks for the comment!
I gave up on Microsoft the day they stopped support for XP. Moved over to Linux and have never looked back.
Windows XP was awesome and rock solid. Ever since then, Msft has been going downhill IMO.
@@MackeyTech 100%
If you like windows and don't like windows 11 or why else would you stick with win 10 then go for zorin OS it runs most of the windows apps out of the box with emulation and is far better in terms of UI than windows 11. You will have no problem if you only do light gaming and light windows specific task. I have personally Played MGSV and Doom 2016 in Zorin OS back when I was testing it maybe 2 years ago.
Yes, Linux is certainly a viable option and I'll be discussing the OS as 'option 4' in a later video! Thank you for the comment!
Please,save space in the landfills. If you cannot upgrade,try installing Linux. If after using say Linux Mint or Zorin and you cannot deal with it,you can always donate your PC to charity,Goodwill or a needy friend. Then go spemd your money on a new pc. What do you have to lose?
Agree 100% I'm planning on doing a follow up video to discuss Linux as 'Option 4'
im just gonna run windows 10 until Microsoft locks it out, should have done the same thing with windows 7 tbh.
@@bored588 Im certain Microsoft is going office a monthly $$$ ‘support’ plan for consumers ; they already have one planned for businesses
Option 4 is what I have chosen. Windows 11 is just NOT an option so I've been slowly switching all sytems to Linux, even my gaming system now runs Nobara linux and the office systems run Fedora. I'm also have been switching business PC's to Linux (Fedora predominantly) and only a couple of front office PC's are left. So far no prob and it amazing how much performance gain there is.

Don't forget, your PC that doesn't meet the Windows 11 requirements WILL most likely meet the Latest Linux Distro Requirements.

My main PC has no TPM 2.0. My secondary PC has TPM 2.0 but has an old CPU that's not compatible. Won't replace them as they're perfectly fine and have enough horsepower for everything. Maybe swapping the CPUs will enable one of them to upgrade but that would require to move the graphics card aswell, since the supported CPU don't have integrated graphics and the TPM capable PC don't have a discrete graphics card. But that would kill the gaming performance of the main PC... So we're doomed. Maybe MS will extend support at least in the EU as the market share is still huge, i'm sure if it stays that way it would catch the attention of EU.
