Petition for a "Linux tech tips" channel with Anthony as host
I want it... i i just want it, i am not a linux user (yet), but if they make a series with Anthony i would start using it. ( im planing on learning it... it would be great to learn from a legend)
Linus Linux Tips perhaps. Anthony as the main host, but I really want to see Linus as the co-host, allowing Anthony to explain things to Linus as in the process to us all.
id love it if this channel actually gave linux more attention or made a linux specific channel
@@lucywucyyy People need to comment on each new LTT video, and other LMG channels, that they would like this channel or more Linux content =)

@@teamofwinter8128 no it’s actually a good thing
@@teamofwinter8128 How could it possibly be a bad thing. Windows has held market share for far too long, and people deserve a choice between Operating Systems when building a PC. Linux should be better supported and developers should stop being asshats about it.

Anthony is pleasant on all the videos he's in, truthfully. It doesn't matter who's he with, he's pretty awesome for videos.
It's nice because it feels less like Anthony is a guest stair, and is just a rotating Co-host.
Yeah it makes it feel less exhausting to watch with the rotating speakers for some reason.
Anthony is the GOAT, without him plenty of the more complex videos on the channel wouldn't get made at all.
Anthony is literally a living legend.

I love how the Linux community has grown in the past couple of years. Back when I started using Linux around 10 years ago somethings was brutal or not possible
Yeah it is crazy how far it has come in just a short period. I have been using Linux since about 2012 and I am amazed at how far it has come in such short time. I remember when you couldn't watch Netflix in it without having to do it through Wine. I remember steam not being released yet natively and had to install the Windows version.
I remember when Wine wasn't even at 2.0 yet.
How time flies.
And i hope it grows to take over every other operating system. It's the best in my opinion and i wish that more people would use it/ consider it.
Oh dude straight up. I remember just giving up on wine.
Windows 11 is coming....looooots of pc will be incompatible...will switch to linux....
@@andreeacatalin8260 good point, I didn't think of that. .hmmmmmm. but tbh they'll probably just stay on 10 for the most part.
Still, something to think about. Maybe it'll get some.
Just wanted to drop a comment saying this:
Earlier in 2021, I had gotten fired and felt generally lost in life. About a month after that, I found this video and decided to give pop os a try, thinking "ah fuck it, why not?"
Now at the end of 2021, I'm completely in the Linux rabbit hole, discovered how much I love tinkering with it and computers in general, and now I'm going back to school in 2022 for an IT course.
Thank you LTT for reminding me how passionate I am about technology
Good Luck!

A "Linux for noobs" series by Anthony would be fantastic
would be good imo. linus makes it seem thiers no learning curve with linux. new users need to be aware of this. they wont stick with linux if new users try and use linux like windows. it doesnt work that way.
@@oldschooldiablo169 I mean, with Ubuntu/PopOS... there really isn't much learning curve these days. If you have exotic hardware you might have a bumpy install, but the majority of desktop hardware will just work. You will likely not have to use the terminal at all.
This, I'm really loving what Anthony is bringing to this channel
@@oldschooldiablo169 imo its pretty much comparable with giving my mom a MacBook when all shes used to is her Windows laptop. It looks different and some "workflows" are not the same and you have .deb instead of .exe and so on but you can adapt to all this it in no-time.
@@recxgems One can always set .exe's to open using WINE as an association if they so choose. Very handy for users that are accustomed to that behavior.
Fell in love with Mint years ago. Have really been impressed with how compatibility for gaming has improved over the years. I'm anticipating the day I can leave Windows behind for good.

@@dumbodum Yeah. For me it's Hunt: Showdown, specifically.
Thanks for the OpenHMD mention!
There is actually quite some progress on Open Source (Linux) VR with different projects, involved companies and development going on by a dedicated community!
Would love to chat about this and provide information, showing off some things that Open Source VR can do, that commercial VR can not!
Of course there is always a lot of work, specially when reverse engineering devices (where companies have no interest in sharing drivers), but with devices gaining (close to) full parity to the proprietary stack, a lot of interesting things are happening!
SteamVR-OpenHMD made it possible for a while now to also play VR games that don't have support for a particular device, including running over Proton!
I game regularly with my PSVR (Project Cars 2, Proton, Ubuntu 20.04 SteamVR-OpenHMD) with decent performance, though of course beware the dragons.
what titles you play, why u need UNIX?
@@lucasrem Doing development on a project like OpenHMD is not about available titles or such, its about choice to do with your hardware what you want and not being restricted by what the hardware vendor provides. Some devices we support have been badly supported by their developers, and we give them new life!
OpenHMD also works Multi-Platform and Multi-Device, so Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, Android and FreeBSD. Being forced to be locked into a ecosystem is bad, and open source drivers should be the norm in our opinion. (shout out to Mesa!)
@Haitian Xu "everything works fine on Windows" lmao
@Haitian Xu because they can? Just because people did NOT rely on the "ah it works why bother" did we get massive advancements in life in general, not just technology.
Open source development for alternative platforms often generates feasible solutions for more popular ones. Someone develops something for Linux which also applies for Windows - everybody profits.
Linux was always viewed as an OS for nerds that in no way in hell an average person could run or work in. Now? Now it's less complicated than Windows!
@Haitian Xu Again, its about choice, what if you don't want to use WIndows?
We have researchers on FreeBSD and Mac that need VR support (since their entire system works on that), vendors are not doing that, so should they just not do VR because of that?
Also there are plenty of cheaper VR headsets (deepoon, 3Glasses, WVR) with barely any support on Windows (or drivers breaking after a update, non-maintained by vendor). Having a open source driver for that makes sure it keeps working since everyone can maintain it, regardless of operating system, now and in the future!

And what is Taran in reference of..?
A note about that bug report tweet - I think a big part of why there are so many more reports is because Linux users are very familiar with the bug reporting process. Your average Windows user likely just uses support forums or the like, whereas because most open source projects have an open bug report thing, it's very common to submit a bug report.

I know a lot about tech as well, but if you put me in front of a camera or into an interview like situation I would ramble all day. Sometimes you have so much information in your head bursting at the seams, having a script helps stop you from overloading everyone else or reflexively using terminology and jargon that isn't as widely understood as you think.

@@3rdvoidmen594 well in five years linux will finally get whole 2% of market share instead of 1.68%
@@aelfwynn94 Even Microsoft themselves now rent out more Linux computers than Windows ones. Outside of highly-specialized software and these (DRM/Anti-Cheat) Rootkits, there's no major compatibility issue. The lack of control you get on Windows, combined with the inherent speed deficit due to OS/driver/file-system interface choices Microsoft made some ~20 years ago, gives a heavy disincentive to Windows.
@@3rdvoidmen594 arch is awesome I agree
@@V1CT1MIZED Actually, if they told me 5 years ago Linux distros will standardize on a Linux-only init system, valve will co-develop with open source projects to create a compatibility layer, Microsoft Store will have a Linux kernel for Windows, along with several Distros, I would've been really surprised if all that came through.

Linus: "Is that RGB control on Linux??"
Anthony: "Yep" **SIGHS**
I use OpenRGB (and actually have helped add support for new hardware), and I love it. Between OpenRGB, Liquidctl, and CKB-Next, I have full lighting control of my ASRock X570 motherboard, my Addressable RGB Chassis fans, my RGB RAM (G.Skill Trident Z RGB), and my NZXT Kraken X63 AIO. It's wild, almost none of this was possible a year ago.
It requires the QT framework to build, otherwise I'd use it to keep the RGB ram lights off on my headless server (which, yes, runs with RGB ram- it's what I had lying around :p)
@@antlers1305 So what? What do you have against qmake? Who cares?

yeah, Anthony seems to be championing it pretty hard, one of the reasons why he is such a great member of the LTT team. Most people don't really keep up with Linux news, so these kinds of videos are really valuable. The fact of the matter is that desktop Linux is getting much better all the time and is absolutely worth keeping your eyes on, even if it doesn't suit your needs quite yet.
@@Mike_Hogsheart it will suit them very soon I believe and when that happens.. Well.. Rip windows
no i dont thinks so because it still could not perfected like mac and windows............but good job linus
After years of having Linux only I finally broke down and got Windows because the editors for Unity and UE4 still run much better on Windows (and the Epic Launcher doesn't work on Linux). Yet, I still play games exclusively on Linux -- that's where I have them installed, and that the OS I prefer to use, so that is where I play the games.
I am a programmer and it's not that programs can't run on Linux it's that the programmer don't make it for Linux. It's the programmers fault if it won't on Linux.
Yeah. Almost everyone is developing Windows applications just because 9 of 10 people use Windows.

He already has.
He actually dropped himself in the ultimate rgb pc video back in 2017
once he drops himself to the ground the next step is going to be missing it, that's when he will master the ability to fly. We are witnessing his powers grow…in tandem with the viability of the Linux desktop. Once Linux has achieved desktop dominance, so will Linus have achieved dominance over the entire world.

Warming up to cameras is something everyone needs some time to do.
I just made the switch to Linux. I now view Windows as a specialty tool to run the stuff that doesn't work on Linux, like many games, which is why the gaming PC (regretably) still uses Win10. But for everything else, I will be a penguin forever.
Isn't it SO liberating? Like ever since i switched i've been just toying with it and looking at the marvel that is FOSS. It's been a great experience and i would recommend everyone to at least try it!
@Verda Last time I used TAILS, autoscroll via middle mouse button was a thing.
Linux for gaming is a joke. Due to its very nature, compatibility is a stretch. Kinda like how consoles flattened the field compared to PCs.
I've been hearing for 15 years ''Linux is good for gaming now !''. Guess what, it still isn't, and never will. Just like SLI or ultrawides, gaming on Linux is a bizarre fantasy with no real world applications.
@Verda Chromium team is to blame, what's even worse - they've made scrolling speed on Linux constant (means it cannot be changed at all, and won't respect system settings). But, eh, maybe give Firefox a try? It supports middle mouse button for scrolling and changing scroll speed, and there are plenty of other benefits (like RAM usage).

Nobody plays games on Mac
Mac OSX has been straight garbage town since release.
Kris Bright depends what you need as a developer my experience is very good for macOS
I have never used a Mac. So genuine question: why is Mac bad at gaming and is it intentionally made that way by Apple3?
@@ExtremeWays4Bourne because many studios dont make it for mac actually.
My man Anthony! It genuinely warms my heart seeing how many people love him appearing in videos, keep up the amazing work guys!
He has that real tech geek feel about him .I like watching his videos myself
Because he's obese. That's literally the only reason why everyone is so happy for him. It's sad honestly, how everyone cheers for him for no reason at all. Don't get me wrong, he's great at his job, but so is EVERYONE in the LTT team and noone is cheering for them.
It simply (appears to be) more technically competent than the other “ LTT characters”. They are definitely more goofy, thus they are not as entertaining as watching an Antony featuring video for everyone. What makes LTT work is being entertaining to a broad range of audiences. Cheers (and your “politically incorrect” does not make you more relevant. It’s just caustic and shows a somewhat narrow understanding of LTT business model or the current social contex)
@@TeodorKubena I like Anthony because I perceive him as:
1. Very technically literate within his topics
2. Is very honest and up-front with his answers
3. While a Linux fanboi, not a blind fanboi. He does acknowledge the problems that still exist and does no attempt to sweep them under the rug, while at the same time highlighting mitigations and solutions to those very same problems.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that he has a Charisma stat of 15 or so, and obesity? Yeah, but he does seem to hit the gym as well, and he does look slightly slimmer every time I see him appear. But that's not why I root for the guy. :)

I would love if more game developers such as origins, blizzard and more start developing their games on Linux as well, to be honest some of them are already open and working on Apple's iOS going over to Linux should not be a big deal, and it should be able to run without any issues due to the core of the OS... I hope that some day I will simply use Ubutntu or some Linux distribution without worrying if my software will work properly.
Anthony really needs to start reading audiobooks lol, such a calming chill voice

@@wertywerrtyson5529 pls lttstore.com just so the link works!
Gotta plug his onlyfans somehow 🤷♂️
Also, simply using common language programming, in which the difference is only in the way
the game code is turned into processor usable code, while all functions act the same when
called for each OS, or even processor types.
It's not already happening, but it's getting closer.
That way they only have to develop a game once, while all of it gets turned into even processor specific code,
with all outcomes being the same, with maybe some settings available on some systems while not being available
on others, due to hardware capability related things. In the end at least basic functionality
would work across any platform in that acse, while having extra options on some.
I literally love Pop linux swtiched to it. I have a mac as well but my main stuff is running linux servers and doing opensim
I am an avid Linux user and I have been gaming on Linux for years. Lutris and Wine have made leaps and bounds and I have been able to play *almost* every game, and it's to the point where it's kinda a fun challenge to see if stuff works, and to see if I can get it working . The only issue I've ever had is anticheat software, as mentioned in the video. EAC is absolutely terrible and makes gaming on Linux hard if you want to play some competitive games. I have both installed side by side, and I move to Window just for games with anticheat. Overall I agree with this video. Gaming on Linux is tremendous and most of the time it works without a hitch, most of the time it's faster.
I tried battlefield 1942 back in the days. It was a quite considerate gane in frame rate and also the ping dropped several ms. Running on the university core network it was as low as 4ms
I tried a game called Paladins, It used to work and had EAC but after a patch, Linux support gone. EAC is super shady.
Akhilesh H Exactly! You never know when support is gonna drop with a patch, which is super lame. If EAC (and other anticheat solutions) would just try to make Linux work then a major hurdle for Linux gamers would be gone.
> most of the time it's faster.
completely bullshit! Why you even not counting time to install all these crutches (wine, dxvk, other garbage), when on windows it just works, by a double click?
the only bit i disagree with is performance. when on low (vega 3 graphics) at least for me. it runs 10-20 percent lower. also i couldnt get non steam games (gog Epic or .exe) to run at all but that might be my incompetence
Would it be possible to get a new channel - LinuxTechTips. I absolutely love all the Linux content.

I'm a complete noob that decided to dual boot windows and mint 20.2 to see how linux feels. Didn't know enough to use the bash but litrus made everything super easy. downloading WoW shadowlands atm, played really well w/ TW WH2..actually it played better than windows 10 only using the steam app and wine that came with it. Large files seem to load faster too, even tho i was using 16gb optane with my windows install and only use the hdd for linux.
I'm already watching this video on my laptop running mint. A system 76 with pop os is probably next though.
What I love the most about gaming on Linux: you can tab in and out of any game _instantly_ -in full screen mode
agreed
That’s one of my most hated things about windows
Even some older games don't fail that hard to do so...
if game crashed just open terminal in another desktop and type xkill and kill whatever you point the cursor at
Exclusive fullscreen mode works the same way in X11 as in Windows (hangs on alt-tab to give back the video buffer) but it's VERY rarely used in native ports and turned off by default in Wine.
Regarding video editing - DaVinci Resolve has a native Linux version. Same with Reaper and Bitwig if you're into music or sound.
Actually I have a YT channel dedicated to music production on Linux, though I only use libre software.
Question as an absolutely ignorant noob about audio production: what is your opinion about ProTools? I'm asking because my cousin is a ProTools certified user and he always says that ProTools, like a lot of the most used tools in audio engineering (like Macs for mixing and mastering, Shure something57 as input for voice, the big Shure mics as input for bass drums, the white Yamaha monitors and Audio Technica something50 as output), is the most used because is the easiest to set up and the most stable alternative to every other stuff audio production software has to offer. I mean, why if Linux audio production is a viable thing for everyone people, even broke people, still uses ProTools and spend a shit-ton of money on closed software and compatible hardware?
ale mutasa pls shorten the book you wrote
Your work's great, man, I've been following for a while now! I'm hopeful that LTT and other content creators with heavier Windows bases give libre software like Ardour, Blender, or KDENlive a try as genuinely viable content creation tools.
@@alemutasa6189 for the same reason that games used to be a trouble, we lack the support from many audio hardware manufactures, so it can be quite a pain to setup everything as well as not having some major softwares people are used to.
For using macs instead of windows, every single producer i know say they work a lot better. More stable for large projects and more snappy for real time things.
@@felipecouto6391 Can you be more specific about "support"? Do you mean lack of reliable drivers and scarce APIs? And, about macs instead of windows or linux: how much ProTools weights on computer resources? I mean, you could build a Threadripper machine with 128 gb of fast ram and on paper ProTools should run faster and with less hiccups than a mac, right?
I switched 2 years ago, Windows no more.
You start liking even not knowing much and after sometime you start getting more knowledge and can do many things that are impossible to in Windows or Mac.
Nowadays I use the terminal all day, ditched Ubuntu and use Manjaro with i3wm (going to Arch Linux very soon)!

The "Christmas New" DELL (Ryzen 7 4800H - 144Hz Monitor) G5 15 SE gaming laptop is so new Ubuntu 20.04 will not boot it except in safe graphics mode. I had to upgrade to the Ubuntu 20.10 release then update the kernel to the "Mainline" version 5.10 in order to get the Radeon RX 5600 dedicated graphics card working right (with secureboot turned off). I then had to sign the updated "mainline" kernel to get the 5.10 kernel to load with secureboot turn back on. I then installed steam and now I am getting more than 140fps on some games (haven't tried but three so far).

people who are still doing console wars what are you doing
it is now time for os wars
Distro war since 90's
Next year: ARM vs. x86
Console wars can kinda be linked to "OS wars", PS4 is based on BSD and Xbox is based on Windows.
@Mehdi It will take RISCV an other decade to catch up though, but I think it will.
It's going to be on embedded first
@Codera I just want to point you to the xbox one system software wikipedia page where it clearly states that it is windows based, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_One_system_software ,it was also stated by many people at Microsoft that it is running on a modified windows kernel and windows 10 core.
Hey Anthony, would you mind doing a gaming benchmark of latest GPU while runing under Linux?
How does Linux fare with regard to compatibility for older games and other stuff and the more/most recent iterations of the software?
For example could I play my old and so far as I know currently unusable copy of 'Freelancer' on a Linux based system without undue angst?
*If they start making games under Linux, Windows will die.*
Microsoft has a strong grip on education and generations were tamed into Windows users. Even if all the apps and games people use get a native port, mass adaption will still take time and Microsoft can react by loosening it's anti-user practices to a level where people are more willing to put up with it rather than get used to a new OS.
Games are made for Linux for quite some time and I mean native Linux games without WINE compatibility layer.
1. Cities Skylines
2. Hearts of Iron 4
3. Stellaris
4. Kerbal Space Program
And many more: linuxconfig.org/10-best-native-linux-games (this isn't complete list, just the most popular ones)
@@wiktorwektor123 You see, the problem is that it's really rare for AAA games to have native ports. And especially for the popular games. PUBG, Fortnite, LoL never had one, PUBG is still listed as broked on Protondb, and I hear the other two also has issues with the anti-cheat systems. Rocket League used to have a native port, but support was pulled months ago. Also some native ports have worse performance than the Windows versions through Proton. So that's how things are.
Ok!
@Cekeybula You don't have to be poor to use Linux. I'm using it because it's safer, respect my privacy and uses less hardware resources to work and less resources = faster work.
Yes I approve this message! Haha. I'm working on a custom iso with all the gaming essentials baked in and using Liquorix kernel. I'm testing it now and runs quite well.
Best of luck! I installed Manjaro but can't remember how I got the correct Rufus version on there. Tried to switch to Ubuntu but uggh.... "Couple minutes" my ass :(
@@kenklak agreed, and it will even write ISO files like Neverware Cloud Ready Home Edition aka Chromium OS that most others can't do. Rufus to me is outdated, and I won't go back to using it, or any other, unless I'm doing a Multi ISO USB key, then it's Multibootusb from the AUR in Manjaro.
@@stalincat2457 Manjaro isn't a bad distro. I enjoyed pacman and the aur. I went to Pop!_OS originally because it was something easy to run on my work laptop via external SSD. But once it supported hybrid graphics out the box on my Legion Y530, I fell in love. It's been my distro of choice ever since.
Keep at it, if you're distro hopping make virtual machines until you find something you like then test it on bare metal.
I want to switch to linux but I don't understand it at all. From how to actually get it, what I'm getting and how to get some necessary programs I need running on it. Is Ubuntu a base with pop os on top? Do I have to use an AMD card because NVIDIA has proprietary drivers? so many questions.
Anthony sounds like he'd be a good teacher. He should teach a linux series
I've been using Linux 20 years and couldn't agree more re: Proton. When it came out, there was a bunch of nerds complaining it will dissuade developers from making native ports, but they weren't exactly lining up around the block, were they? I have more games than I can play now, and whether it runs through Proton or natively through Linux... I honestly couldn't give a damn.
Don't you still get banned from games like Destiny 2 and WoW if you run them trough Proton?
Far too many "natively supported" games that run worse than the proton version to be honest. The last main hurdle is anti-cheat and DRM. Personally I'd rather have some sort of "I promise I'll be good" server without intrusive anti cheat being required. And I'd rather have no DRM, so even if they made the DRM linux compatible, I'd probably avoid the game.
No we need them to make Linux Native if you don't think so you really don't get it, it is the last choke hold Microsoft has.
Heh. I'm a dev and publisher. I think it's fine. It helps work on upselling my own stuff. I'm developing on Linux and I'm pushing out on all of the Big Three- so... Proton? It lets me play the stuff we *ALL* know won't happen...and helps give a bigger story (The Steam numbers aren't as accurate as people would lead you to believe...the number one seller on the HIB #2? Linux... There was over 250k takers on that one.)
Native games would be preferred, but I'll take what I can get TBH.
Watching this on Linux right now! I hope more people see how awesome it is to have full control over your desktop without spyware (out of the box). The amount of customization is insane and really got me excited about my full switch to Linux a year ago!
I'm also currently experimenting with Linux (Manjaro + KDE Plasma to be precise), yet I want the Affinity Suite and some other Windows(/Mac)-only stuff so at least it has to stay as a second option for me. BTW, how do you handle data? Do you have a partition for just storing data? Do you store your data in Windows and then mount the Windows partitino in Linux (which is what I am currently doing)? Or something completely different? Or do you just not have any Windows installation at all?
@@lemonlime1157 I think a better place to ask questions would be on r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions, you will probably get better answers there then you ever could get on youtube, but if you don't want to ask there, then ask away.
I have my daughter running on mint. As more and more games gain support I may get lucky and not have to ever move her to windows
Been using Linux in a dual boot config for years, currently Manjaro with KDE Plasma 5 is my preference. In a year or so down the line I'm going to go through my backlog of windows games that don't work (well) on proton and play all of them, eliminating all need to ever touch windows again.
I also put Manjaro with LXqt on my mom's chromebook and she loves it a lot more than ChromeOS or Windows.
It will never not be weird for me to see people complain about windows spyware while using an Android phone or iPhone.
That's like saying white bread is unhealthy while eating chocolate cake.
2-3 years from now, I can see Linux being the choice of gamers. From 2019-2020 we have seen the largest jump in gaming in linux
Fun fact: Linux was so small on the desktop scene that valve didn't have any anti-cheat for Linux until like 2017-18
Switched last year on desktop. Much less hassle than with Windows. Most stuff just works out of the box. But as a customer one needs to be aware what to buy and check some compatibilities. Otherwise it's great. Never regretted the switch.
I use Manjaro which comes with very up to date software, so usually latest versions of Wine and such. Makes it better compatible. It's a great OS and getting better all the time.
I chose Manjaro also, but would consider Arch in the future. My sole issue is it doesn't have ac3Filter so most of my d/l movies don't have digital 5.1 coming from the receiver.
People say Manjaro, but which version? XFCE?
@@madthumbs1564 There are alternatives, the AUR has this one tool called mkvdts2ac3 that can (as the name suggests) convert an MKV video's DTS audio to AC3. There are others as well.
I really REALLY want to switch to linux as my daily driver but unfortunatly linux isn't quite there yet :(
@@madthumbs1564 There's also a52dec, which used to be called ac3dec. I know you're talking about just real-time conversion, but in my opinion if there's an option to just convert the file and have it always be 5.1, then you could just do that and leave Windows behind. It's not like you're really missing out on anything. You can keep the originals if you don't want to lose them.

Guys, this is so cool! Can you please make one video to compare 3D software compatibility and performance on both OS, for Cinema 4D, Maya, and the rest?

Blender is way faster on Linux based systems. There are benchmarks by other guys. IIRC it'S about 20% faster in rendering time.

@@paradigmarson9586 You mean like a Windows Update restarting your PC during a presentation?
Librem 5 is still not there, and I bet it will be "dead on arrival", it's way too expensive for something which can, so far, only be used as an auxiliary device so far. PinePhone is much more promising, it's cheaper and it's much more ready to be a daily driver thanks to Ubuntu Touch.
The Linux community is smaller than the “average pc gamer” but given that a lot of devs use Linux, it punches high above its weight.
Even more, Linux is practically 99% platform of choice among VFX professionals. This is where Windows seriously sucks.
Basically where people know they’re stuff, they know windows is terrible
My old windows 7 laptop was incredibly slow and borderline unusable. I formatted the entire drive and installed void linux. Works like a dream even with an old HDD.
I mean. Move out of the consumer niche windows has built for it self it's almost all Linux. (With some Unix in there as well)
Most devs use Windows and they use Visual Studio and .NET. Windows is everywhere. I use Qt Creator on Kubuntu. It is good quality. The compiler is pretty smart at detecting problems. However, I am not a professional. Releasing a program on Linux is hell. If I compile on Kubuntu 20.10 and try to run my EXE on Kubuntu 18.04, it doesn't run.
If I compile on Kubuntu 18.04 and try to run my EXE on Kubuntu 20.10, it does run.
WTF. I have never seen that on Windows. Compile anywhere and you can most likely run on Win XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10. Maybe even all the way back to Win 95.
I've been trying out Steam and Proton on Ubuntu. I wouldn't say it was a seamless setup, but it works well once configured. It's a lot easier than the last time I tried it. I can even play indie non Steam Windows games that I add to Steam. Sometimes I have to add a launch command to get it to work.
Amazingly someone came out with an updated Xbox One dongle driver that is newer than xow. It allows me to use the Xbox One Wireless controller chatpad. This is a must for me as I sometimes use my PC while I'm sitting on the couch or in bed. Sadly it was probably the biggest thing that was holding me back from switching to Linux because I hate virtual keyboards.
I haven't tried SteamOS 3.0, but I'm curious if it's any better than Ubuntu. I watched a video on it and apparently you use the terminal even less in it than in Ubuntu. I don't see why you couldn't use it as a desktop environment. You could probably configure it however you like. It's a Linux OS after all.
I was watching a video about this FPS display software for Ubuntu called MangoHUD and apparently it can display temperatures.
Most development software suites have open source alternatives. For Adobe products I'm thinking of software like Gimp, Inkscape, and Blender. For programming there are software like Atom. I'm not sure if you can find something to compare with Visual Studio for game programming, but I think that's only relevant if you're making games that utilize a preexisting game engine. If you're just an indie developer you could probably get bye with something more simple. Even a programming language like Python can make 2D games and cross platform software. If you are making software that requires specific Windows code then you probably need a VM and may need GPU passthrough.
I'm fairly sure you could work around every potential issue.
All great points! I have a few things to say about the development side tho. Sadly, as of recent, Atom is being sunsetted and wont be supported soon. However, for open source editors, theres things like nano, vim, and emacs. For more heavy development like game design, I personally use JetBrains ides. Rider has close integration with unity, and imo is better than visual studio even (It's paid/close sourced, free for students tho). And as you said, if you are developing software strictly for windows, you will probably need a vm
