According to my experience the backward compatibility of Windows is one of the biggest lies in the world. I have a bunch of old hardware and software, and in order to use them you end up running Windows XP or maybe even Windows NT 4.0 because they just refuse to work on later versions.

Windows is actually very customizable, and he is right in saying that you can customize everything (as long as it's aesthetic).

I switched to Linux for a few months and got caught in the loop of "I'm cool cuz my os is unique!" and end up spending most of my time using it doing google and figuring out how to do the most basic things. After a while of learning the basic things, I realized how pointless this was. I could do basically everything I do on windows, and much more efficiently at that. Programs that are supposed to be alternatives to windows are just plain worse. Because 99% of people use windows and it's programs, compatibility becomes a huge problem. I couldn't work with microsoft office documents with "Libre-office", only on the web based office. And some programs just doesn't exist all together. After a ton of that "It's fine I can live with this..." I finally switched back to windows, and found out "everything just works" like before. I guess Linux was okay, but it shouldn't rely on the "if you learn its much better than windows" bull crap that is just plain wrong. Unless the community or userbase gets larger so developers actually care to port their programs to the platform and make it an on par experience like on windows, unless that happens I'll stick with windows thank you.
I know it is hard for the first time when migrate from Windows to Linux. I switch to Linux in 2016. Till now I'm still learning, read the wiki, man pages, tutorial and go to forum to ask is the best troubleshooter that I met. Linux is more efficient when running on low hardware. Dual core Celeron, 4GB of RAM, 10GB of hard disk is more than enough for me to browsing web while running Libreoffice, listening music and updating entire system. Basic things is done by aliases, script or functions. Automatic task done by cron job or startup script. I know that I cannot use Libreoffice like when I use Microsoft Office. I feel they have same purpose but do it in different way. So when I switch to Linux, I totally decide to do all things based on "Linux way" not based on "Windows way". Work with terminal isn't horrible like I think before. With the help of aliases, I don't need to remember bunch of command. My system was 4 years old now and I never doing reinstall. Only in Windows I ever got BSOD, and I don't know how to fix it except doing reinstall entire system. I'm not a gamer and I don't have enough money to buy a powerfull hardware, so Linux is the only choice that I have for my cheap laptop, maybe this is what I call efficient. Now I feel more confuse when using Windows because I cannot use Windows like when I use Linux. I think it is better to use Linux only if all applications that you need is available on Linux and your hardware is not powerfull enough to running Windows.
Some distros are not that nice. Other than LibreOffice, u can use WPS office which is only preinstalled on Ubuntu Kylin (the `Chinese` Ubuntu that is said to be like Windows but isn`t) and I saw it on Huawei advertisements and it is quite good other than telling you to upgrade upgrade upgrade upgrade
The features are stuff you can have on any OS if you take the time to set it up him saying its better is complete crap more convenient maybe but not exclusive
Same hardware you'd use for Windows PC and content creator stuff that works on Linux: Krita, Gimp, DaVinci Resolve, Darktable, Maya (One click install on CentOS\RHEL, a bit more work to install on Debian based systems, but can be done and scripts are available online), Blender, Modo, Houdini, Mari, Nuke, Unity3D, Godot, just out the top of my head.
Unfortunately content creation is the single most lacking field on Linux. If the software you're using is supported on Linux, you're going to get a stable and efficient version, often better than Windows, which is great. But if it's not, there is Wine, which can run most Windows programs out of the box and is worth trying. Running a native Windows app on Linux you might notice a speed increase, increased responsiveness, and often increased stability. Start with Linux Mint, which is the most popular Ubuntu based distro, and the most Windows like. It's the closest to "home" mainstream distro. Like moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, moving from Windows to Mint is about as straight forward. With Mint you get: Support from the Ubuntu community. A stable operating system with stable programs. Super easy program installs and super easy auto updates using PPAs. And, if there isn't a ppa for the software you want to install both Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux based installers, from the company website, will work on Mint out of the box. The only "hitch" if you could call it that, is I recommend installing up to date graphics drivers from NVIDIA or AMD. Newer drivers can be selected in Driver Manager found in the start menu. For whatever reason NVIDIA's drivers do not auto update to the newest version, so I check every few months, due to NVIDIA being weird, but AMD's drivers do auto update which is nice.
@@razzlfraz I personally would recommend just Kubuntu, its close enough to Windows to get up and running and lately I started to prefer not going too deep down the derivatives hole. Seeing how distros die I dont wand to get stuck with a distro that dies. I cant imagine Debian or Ubuntu dying in any near future. I can imagine Mint dying. PopOS IMO has better chances to survive as its backed by System76, and still as much as I loved it, I'd prefer to stick to more "solid" and long term options, at least for work.
All cancelled out by the lack of apps. I love Linux. I have built my own router using it, my NAS uses it. I have Raspberry Pis' coming out my ears and it's the only proper choice for a webserver. I use it all the time but it's literally the last OS I would go to for a desktop OS.

Well then don't complain when your Samsung phone bursts into flames; you couldn't do better. Yeah, sorry, no.
As if Linux and MacOS never introduced any bugs with patches or updates. Don't be ridiculous. Measured by the complexity of Windows (which IS higher than MacOS because of the backwards compatibility to Win2000, partially even back to Windows 3.1, supporting third party drivers and literally billions of hardware combinations it's a miracle Windows doesn't blue screen once a day. And they STILL manage to patch exploits faster than Apple. Meanwhile professional Mac users have to carefully weigh if they update to the newest OS version, not just because there could be bugs like on Windows, but it is EXPECTED that many professionally used software titles need an upgrade before working on the new version, and those updates sometimes take months or won't come at all because the product was just taken off the shelf (while you still like to use it).
@@jensdroessler3575 It's true, I generally avoid installing the latest MacOS update for 3+ months to let any bugs shake out. But there are valid criticisms. A MacOS update never deleted my files. That invisible "seeker" opt-in from clicking the "check for updates" button is some serious BS.
Also works (better) on Linux just like everything else on this video, other than games library which Linux has maybe 80% of but its not long until it catches up im guessing.

I use MacOS and Windows. Why I think Windows UI is way better than that of MacOS. Here are some of the biggest gripes with MacOS (1) application windows cannot be maximized like Windows10, and icons to minimize, maximize are too small (2) One shared application menu bar for all open apps; and because it is not attached to application window, sometime you have to click the application window to bring up the right menu (3) App dock takes up the bottom of the screen and menu at the top wasting real estate (4) Windows10 looks clean and modern (5) No preview of window on task bar (6) Closing window does not close the application, you have to quit the application separately (7) Finder menu stays at the top even when no application is open, just not the right approach (8)Track pad gesture to switch between windows or to minimize open window is not as elegant as in Windows10. Over all I think Windows10 is well thought, simpler and easier to use than MacOS.

A lot of Mac users use these two arguments: “Windows takes a lot of setup” No, it takes installing the new edge, installing Steam, and installing your games. Done, set up. “There are too many different options for Windows” Yeah, because it’s better and you don’t just have one company selling them.
For me the best feature of w10 is, that you can rip out hard drive of your broken laptop just put it in random PC and your system will boot. So you can continue in your work.

Just to be fair, chances are that Linux will pick everything up as well. Unlike Windows Linux does not use 'generic drivers' in the way Windows does, support for most devices is included in the kernel. You can then install proprietary drivers for like nvidia if you need. There may be issues with graphics drivers, for example if you switched from nvidia to amd, but you will still get terminal from where you can purge old driver and install new on in like 2 commands and 2 minutes. Just saying.

Bring back Minesweeper, Chess and Pinball in Windows.
@Shahzaib Siddiqui It's not the same classic experience, though. There are always third-party recreations of the classic Minesweeper, however.
You can just download them, they have exe. files on the web.
they have minesweeper, solitaire (which includes some other card games), mahjong, sudoku, puzzles, word games and some others on the store. These are the "official" ones. At least I like to think they are and they do have "microsoft" written on them so.. and they're all pretty good. They're improved versions of what we had.
But yes, unfortunately pinball is gone from there and so is Chess. CHESS! I loved chess and while the store has a ton of chess games as well I just don't like that it's not official ya know...
they put almost all the games, they really should consider the board ones (chess, checkers, heck even domino or somthing..)
not that I have time to play anymore.. but still
Chess is on Mac

I switched to Linux for a few months and got caught in the loop of "I'm cool cuz my os is unique!" and end up spending most of my time using it doing google and figuring out how to do the most basic things. After a while of learning the basic things, I realized how pointless this was. I could do basically everything I do on windows, and much more efficiently at that. Programs that are supposed to be alternatives to windows are just plain worse. Because 99% of people use windows and it's programs, compatibility becomes a huge problem. I couldn't work with microsoft office documents with "Libre-office", only on the web based office. And some programs just doesn't exist all together. After a ton of that "It's fine I can live with this..." I finally switched back to windows, and found out "everything just works" like before. I guess Linux was okay, but it shouldn't rely on the "if you learn its much better than windows" bull crap that is just plain wrong. Unless the community or userbase gets larger so developers actually care to port their programs to the platform and make it an on par experience like on windows, unless that happens I'll stick with windows thank you.
Uhmm when did you last use Linux and what distro?
i like your profile pic
Haha, thanks, you have good taste, been using it for years xD
I know it is hard for the first time when migrate from Windows to Linux. I switch to Linux in 2016. Till now I'm still learning, read the wiki, man pages, tutorial and go to forum to ask is the best troubleshooter that I met. Linux is more efficient when running on low hardware. Dual core Celeron, 4GB of RAM, 10GB of hard disk is more than enough for me to browsing web while running Libreoffice, listening music and updating entire system. Basic things is done by aliases, script or functions. Automatic task done by cron job or startup script. I know that I cannot use Libreoffice like when I use Microsoft Office. I feel they have same purpose but do it in different way. So when I switch to Linux, I totally decide to do all things based on "Linux way" not based on "Windows way". Work with terminal isn't horrible like I think before. With the help of aliases, I don't need to remember bunch of command. My system was 4 years old now and I never doing reinstall. Only in Windows I ever got BSOD, and I don't know how to fix it except doing reinstall entire system. I'm not a gamer and I don't have enough money to buy a powerfull hardware, so Linux is the only choice that I have for my cheap laptop, maybe this is what I call efficient. Now I feel more confuse when using Windows because I cannot use Windows like when I use Linux. I think it is better to use Linux only if all applications that you need is available on Linux and your hardware is not powerfull enough to running Windows.
Some distros are not that nice. Other than LibreOffice, u can use WPS office which is only preinstalled on Ubuntu Kylin (the `Chinese` Ubuntu that is said to be like Windows but isn`t) and I saw it on Huawei advertisements and it is quite good other than telling you to upgrade upgrade upgrade upgrade

I'd like Cool Hat Anthony to teach us how to build a no BS Linux System for content creators...
Please Mr. Sebastian Overlord?
Same hardware you'd use for Windows PC and content creator stuff that works on Linux: Krita, Gimp, DaVinci Resolve, Darktable, Maya (One click install on CentOS\RHEL, a bit more work to install on Debian based systems, but can be done and scripts are available online), Blender, Modo, Houdini, Mari, Nuke, Unity3D, Godot, just out the top of my head.
also: Kdenlive, audacity, OBS, recordmydesktop, simplescreenrecorder
Unfortunately content creation is the single most lacking field on Linux. If the software you're using is supported on Linux, you're going to get a stable and efficient version, often better than Windows, which is great. But if it's not, there is Wine, which can run most Windows programs out of the box and is worth trying. Running a native Windows app on Linux you might notice a speed increase, increased responsiveness, and often increased stability.
Start with Linux Mint, which is the most popular Ubuntu based distro, and the most Windows like. It's the closest to "home" mainstream distro. Like moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, moving from Windows to Mint is about as straight forward. With Mint you get: Support from the Ubuntu community. A stable operating system with stable programs. Super easy program installs and super easy auto updates using PPAs. And, if there isn't a ppa for the software you want to install both Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux based installers, from the company website, will work on Mint out of the box.
The only "hitch" if you could call it that, is I recommend installing up to date graphics drivers from NVIDIA or AMD. Newer drivers can be selected in Driver Manager found in the start menu. For whatever reason NVIDIA's drivers do not auto update to the newest version, so I check every few months, due to NVIDIA being weird, but AMD's drivers do auto update which is nice.
No mention of Lightworks? Lightworks is a juggernaut! Combine that with some Natron and you've got all your big bits
@@razzlfraz I personally would recommend just Kubuntu, its close enough to Windows to get up and running and lately I started to prefer not going too deep down the derivatives hole. Seeing how distros die I dont wand to get stuck with a distro that dies. I cant imagine Debian or Ubuntu dying in any near future. I can imagine Mint dying. PopOS IMO has better chances to survive as its backed by System76, and still as much as I loved it, I'd prefer to stick to more "solid" and long term options, at least for work.

I love Linux. I have built my own router using it, my NAS uses it. I have Raspberry Pis' coming out my ears and it's the only proper choice for a webserver. I use it all the time but it's literally the last OS I would go to for a desktop OS.

@@LANstorm. Had v-sync issues somewhere around 2016-2018 due to nVidia drivers/Wayland. I know, it's nVidia, and it was fixable, but for f*s sake: having v-sync issues in this time is laughable. Note that it wasn't during gaming, but during dragging of windows.

Please go and make an update to a large software the size of an OS that doesn't have bugs, oh and maintain backward compatibility. Can't do it? don't complain
@@TheNacropolice IDK, I haven't heard of an OSX update deleting people's files... or a Linux update, for that matter. Microsoft seems to have a bit of a knack for bugs, jussayin.
And "don't complain if you can't personally do it" is a bogus argument. Can't make a cell phone that doesn't burst into flames? Well then don't complain when your Samsung phone bursts into flames; you couldn't do better. Yeah, sorry, no.
As if Linux and MacOS never introduced any bugs with patches or updates. Don't be ridiculous. Measured by the complexity of Windows (which IS higher than MacOS because of the backwards compatibility to Win2000, partially even back to Windows 3.1, supporting third party drivers and literally billions of hardware combinations it's a miracle Windows doesn't blue screen once a day. And they STILL manage to patch exploits faster than Apple. Meanwhile professional Mac users have to carefully weigh if they update to the newest OS version, not just because there could be bugs like on Windows, but it is EXPECTED that many professionally used software titles need an upgrade before working on the new version, and those updates sometimes take months or won't come at all because the product was just taken off the shelf (while you still like to use it).
@@jensdroessler3575 It's true, I generally avoid installing the latest MacOS update for 3+ months to let any bugs shake out.
But there are valid criticisms. A MacOS update never deleted my files. That invisible "seeker" opt-in from clicking the "check for updates" button is some serious BS.
That Windows-key+1,2,3,4 is a great tip. I just tried it and it's great.

as I've been daily switching between Windows and MacOS, there are few things I'm really missing in Windows:
1) ctrl+alt+v to paste and cut (so no need to decide if I need to press ctrl+c or ctrl+x)
2) ability to sort files and folders together in explorer
3) show folder size in details view list of explorer
4) eject network shares from explorer
5) be able to use remote desktop simultaneously with local user (basically VNC)

I think he’s just cosplaying as a Linux user
The thing I love about it is that everybody has it. Not because it’s popular and I want to get on the bandwagon, but because every problem that I’ve ever had on my computer up till now at least 100 other people have also had it. So all I need to do is go onto an online forum, ask my question and how to fix it, and within a few days somebody comes up saying how they also experienced this problem, how to fix it, and how not to encounter this again. It’s awesome.
@How 2 Code there is no os where there are no problems. none. there are some who have less but again those problems are usually big ones and it will take a whole lot more effort to find the fix
Linus, if you're being blackmailed by Microsoft blink 3 times.

Totally agree with the comment about file directories. I was always making my own file organization in DOS as a young kid. But there is absolutely NO WAY I could live without the Downloads folder and the organize/by/date
Unfortunately most of the points boil down to "it has more software and hardware support because it has largest market share". Sorry, but that's not advantages of Windows itself, it just the result of Microsoft monopoly on PC market.
Same as google has with android
Underrated comment...👍
let me guess. windows held everyone at gunpoint for them to buy windows that's why it's everywhere? "monopoly"
Sure, but still doesn't negate the fact that the support is there. The "why" doesn't matter to the average user.
hmmm Microsoft making tools for devs and providing the software that runs it the best but the same tools are used to make software for other os
but that is a monopoly

For me as a developer WSL is an excelent feature, you literally have Linux inside your windows. And you can use multiple of them at the same time!
And there is also some specialized software for windows (Visual Studio, SQL Server)

Yes Windows 10 was the best thing I ever did in my life. It made me change to Linux and no regrets.
I use Arch btw...
Same here. Switched to ubuntu after facing frequent hangs, connectivity and privacy issues on windows 10. 😄😄. Linux works like charm
@@achyutshreewatsal7527 You've made good decision.
Yeah Windows privacy is just a big joke. Overall the performance is pretty poor due to massive resources being used especially on low end devices.
Have fun with Linux. 😊
@Scupake Previous versions were fine but Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 is just terrible. Very resource heavy, no privacy, poor security and updates.
Windows is good for gaming but for anything else I find it dreadful.
I have used both Debian and fedora based OSes but never used arch. It's quite difficult to install. And yes I'm no noob. I've tried over 250+ Linux distros just for fun.
@Flavio Messy? So far my Manjaro is looking nice and clean. It is very minimalistic so it is not clogged up software and junk.
Meanwhile my Windows 10 recently crashed after almost 2 years of just gaming. I couldn't be bothered fresh reinstalling it in order to keep full performance. 😂
After a year use I have noticed that performance dropped so sooner or later it will crash. I was right. 👌
I use MacOS and Windows. Why I think Windows UI is way better than that of MacOS. Here are some of the biggest gripes with MacOS (1) application windows cannot be maximized like Windows10, and icons to minimize, maximize are too small (2) One shared application menu bar for all open apps; and because it is not attached to application window, sometime you have to click the application window to bring up the right menu (3) App dock takes up the bottom of the screen and menu at the top wasting real estate (4) Windows10 looks clean and modern (5) No preview of window on task bar (6) Closing window does not close the application, you have to quit the application separately (7) Finder menu stays at the top even when no application is open, just not the right approach (8)Track pad gesture to switch between windows or to minimize open window is not as elegant as in Windows10. Over all I think Windows10 is well thought, simpler and easier to use than MacOS.
I use both as well and I agree with all these points, well said.
Microsoft saw the videos on Linux and got to them, nobody is safe

Windows usability out of the box? With the automatic updates forcing you to restart? With the ads in the start menu? With the ads on the lock screen? With the ads in the shell prompt? With two settings locations? With the barely usable search feature? The apps getting installed automatically during OS updates? Smoothly working features getting replaced by their worse versions on each major update? Updates breaking drivers? OS updates changing your personalization settings?
Who sponsored this video again?
The whole video sounds like a joke.
Was MicroChopp...because they are shredding their OS with every update...😂😂😂
The worst thing was when it installed updates and just rebooted without asking you. Real fun if you run an hours long render over night using a program that doesn't let you restart.
What ads in the start menu? The only ads I've seen are in the MS Solitaire collection. And that is it. I must admit that I spent 2 weeks or so when I first started using win10 to get it the way I wanted it. But since then it's been fine :-)

TAKE ALL MY UP VOTES.
I love my Windows. However I don’t understand the reason as to why they keep insisting on not having a uniform ui-design. :( A properly designed dark theme would also be nice.
Also, the blue screens are truly gone. :) The only blue screens I can remember from recent years both coincided with physical damage, one of which included wine. :)
A lot of Mac users use these two arguments:
“Windows takes a lot of setup”
No, it takes installing the new edge, installing Steam, and installing your games. Done, set up.
“There are too many different options for Windows”
Yeah, because it’s better and you don’t just have one company selling them.
ikr
I think the argument is true when talking about media production apps.
@Lucas Santos fair point, but the difference is still just a few minutes, not hours like Mac fanboys claim.
And the malware protection lol, just use some commen sense and you dont even need anti malware
@airdust you still need antivirus/anti malware, but you should still have it on a Mac.
For me the best feature of w10 is, that you can rip out hard drive of your broken laptop just put it in random PC and your system will boot. So you can continue in your work.
Very true, generic driver support in windows 10 these days is spectacular.
Not so true, Not all computers use generic drivers.
I tried that with 1 computer, and 2 people I know tried it with their own computers. None of them worked. 1 of them couldn't even get the original computer to boot after putting the drive back in afterward. Seems like this might not be true all the time.
Just to be fair, chances are that Linux will pick everything up as well. Unlike Windows Linux does not use 'generic drivers' in the way Windows does, support for most devices is included in the kernel. You can then install proprietary drivers for like nvidia if you need. There may be issues with graphics drivers, for example if you switched from nvidia to amd, but you will still get terminal from where you can purge old driver and install new on in like 2 commands and 2 minutes. Just saying.
I use windows 7, and I ripped out the hard drive because my mobo died and put it in a new system (still intel) with a new motherboard and everything, and it booted right up. Generic drivers and the hardware abstraction layer windows has is top notch... compared to osx
