@@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.

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.
@@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.
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.
@@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 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!
@Haitian Xu Because 1. Windows has it's own plethora of issues and by the standards of many it is most certainly not fine. This isn't even limited to security issues, Windows Update, or just Microsoft shenanigans in general. 2. Often, as they *kinda* touched on in this video, games made for both platforms will actually perform better on Linux and even if they're made for Windows will perform (in most cases) nearly equivalently on Proton. 3. Price. Linux is absolutely free and Windows is infinitely more money (and often time) to get running. Gamers want to play games without Windows Update interruptions, play games that perform objectively better, and gamers don't usually like to spend more money just because. As a bit of a anecdote, I've noticed that people end up having a lot more background activity/tasks through everyday usage of Windows than on Linux. But again that's just anecdotal.

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
@@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.
@@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.
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.
did so this year, windows went corrupt on me and lost patience with it after its most recent update, i just cant play Tarkov and thats fine I have hunt

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.

Same here! Now they should do one on VirGL, the other major improvement since their last Linux episode. Of course, virtualization can be considered an entirely separate topic.
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!
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).
I'm genuinely sad this was so short. I love these Linux videos! I'd like to see Anthony get his own channel dedicated to Linux and super enthusiast/nerdy videos.
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.
I wanna switch to Linux but there is one game on Windows that I have 1000 hours in and I don’t know how it performs on the os. If that game works I’ll switch for sure.
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.
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.
@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.

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.

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
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
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
hahahahhahaha. same buddy. i switch between OSes for work and stuff like that, and i instantly see even though Windows 10 looks slightly more polished, it doesn't feel as snappy as my linux. Terminal made me wanted to learn commands the first time i used it.

as an indie game dev, i see a lot of potential in linux. not only because i love linux (now installing it on my main machine) but performance on linux is amazing.
Oh yeah one more thing Linus, if you want to track temperatures on Linux you can use a program called psensor. It has a graph and nice GUI along with keeping track of the minimum and maximum temperatures and even fan speed based on the BIOS.
@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.

It means a lot to me that Linux gets air time on this channel. Linux has made such a huge impact on my life and my career. I hope you all cover the PinePhone and Librem5 phones!
If a fringe/hobbyist operating system has a huge impact on your life and career, you need to spend more time on LinkedIn and TikTok and less time on GNU Social and IRC.
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.

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.
I have a big knowledge on linux, but my laptop that has an overclockable display to 100 Hz, and optimus nvidia graphics, works absolutely perfect on linux, but on linux is a general pain in the ass, less battery life, impossible to get apt-x low latency working, cannot use more than 60hz trying every edid override method in the universe, have to logon/logoff to change gpus, nvdia kepler performance is much worse on linux than windows, need to choose between x11 with chrome or wayland with firefox for gpu hardware video decode and they bot are not 100% good.

I tried out Linux about 3 weeks ago and god was I surprised, took me sometime to learn, but it took me less time to learn ubuntu than windows, also theres a printer I could never get to work no matter what I tried on windows and when I installed Linux and booted it, I saw the notification X printer was just added, made me love Linux only by booting
I turned my Samsung SSD into a Mint OS drive and been playing with Steam and getting a feel for Linux. Haven't used it since Mandrake 7.0. It's pretty comfy and super fast/smooth compared to windows.
My father had the same experience. He had a printer with a "Designed for Windows" logo, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get it to work. He had been working on that problem for a half year or something, when I asked if he had tried Ubuntu, which he had not. Booted my key ring and printed out a page in less than five minutes. This was a decade ago, so live booting was slower than they are today. Yes, there have been corner cases and for some users, Ubuntu hasn't been a real alternative for all of that decade, but for me it has been superior to Windows for a long time now.

@@brhh LW is dying quickly. Devs are abandoning it, so it's definitely going to happen. Adobe emulation seems to work well so a total Linux switchover is gonna happen soon.

I was happy they mentioned custom proton versions. I've been playing around with GloriousEggroll's releases and I've had games go from barely playable to completely flawless. I don't have numbers to back it up but I'm positive that Subnautica played better on GE than it did on windows and Monster Hunter World runs so flawlessly that even if it does run better on windows it's just academic at that point. Ridiculously easy to get running too. Just download a file and extract it to a folder.

@FQMP FQMP Are you using Wayland or Xorg? I remember experiencing some freezes when using Gnome on Wayland, but then it disappeared when I switched to Gnome on good old Xorg (I was on either Ubuntu 20.04 or Pop OS 20.04 at the time. I tested them in succession) Wayland is promising, but it's young and still has the occasional bug. Right now I'm using Fedora 32 (because I really don't like how Ubuntu is trying to impose things like Snap packages, and other similar stuff they did in the past).

@@sagarrajak6996 I've already tried Manjaro (and a few others).

KDE looks great and offers a lot of customisation, but I found it a little bit buggy sometimes. Gnome is far from perfect; the first thing I do is install Tweaks and a few extensions (dash to dock!), then the experience becomes good. But something important to me: when evaluating a distro, I always test how long it takes for me to be able to type in Japanese (alas, many distros are very American-centric and completely ignore the needs of people who need more than the latin alphabet for typing). Usually, the best results are from distros using Gnome as a default desktop, and have ibus set up out-of-the-box, like Fedora, or Ubuntu (but even then, it's still far from perfect). For others (including Manjaro), the documentation is either obsolete or confusing (and generally both). There are a couple billion people on this planet whose first question when using a computer might be: "I need to type in Chinese/Japanese/etc., how do I do that? (installation, how to use, etc.)". The answer shouldn't be "just buy a Mac" So these are the main reasons why I'm currently using Fedora rather than Manjaro (until I decide to distro-hop again... xD).
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.
@@nygelblondin7890 yeah, although Blizz have a history of being dicks and banning Linux users' accounts for using Wine to run their games. Then again, they also banned Luke's account for no good reason, so apparently that kind of shit can happen to you regardless of the OS you are using.
@@nygelblondin7890 If you are curious as to what games can be played on linux you can use protondb.com for steamgames and see. You can also use Lutris.net to search for non-steam games.
I tried Linux (mint) when LTT recommended it last year and I actually liked it more than windows! It was running blazing fast on my old laptop (i7-4710HQ, GTX 850m, 12GB RAM) and was consuming much less resources. I even managed to create a "driver" for cooling fan 'cause the default one (which was integrated in BIOS and was working in both OS) was configured completely wrong. Unfortunately, I had to return to Windows because I use Adobe products very much and there's no real alternative for it in Linux.
There is sadly no alternative to Adobe Products, they get you hooked like fine cocaine. Going Open Source is a little bit like going clean in this regard, very hard to do, and commendable if you choice to do so.
@Akın Oktay ATALAY Krita is something I've been looking at lately, but GIMP is honestly not good at all. I'm literally only using it because it's free and I haven't gotten the hang of Krita yet.
03:38 Linux is good for retro games? And here I just bought myself a cheap laptop with Windows 7 so I could play all my old games. Way too many of them just don't work right in Windows 10. Guess it's time to give Linux another shot.
Generally, yes - to the point, that some never-Linux people started porting/building Wine on Windows (which I find ridiculously funny)… As for DOS gaming, I recommend dosbox-staging (it works better on Linux than on Windows).
Just saying- if you get anything with gnome in it this extension might be useful (available for both chrome and firefox) it's not what it looks like: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gnome-shell-integration/gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep
Indeed. I am planning a big PC renewal with the next AMD CPU'S and am fully jumping on Linux when i do. I will make a dual boot but i will be using Linux as my main and just have Windows for the few jobs or games Linux still needs some work.
@@retrogeek4372 Eh, depends on what you're doing. Linux is better than Windows for most tasks, but there are some things that won't work right in Wine/Proton and don't have very good Linux alternatives. Video editing and DVD authoring softwares, for example. I've been primarily a Linux user for about a decade (have been using Arch Linux derivatives the last 5 years or so, Mandriva and Debian before that; never liked Ubuntu), but still keep Windows for the few small things that need it.
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.

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.

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.
@@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!
@Haitian Xu Because
1. Windows has it's own plethora of issues and by the standards of many it is most certainly not fine. This isn't even limited to security issues, Windows Update, or just Microsoft shenanigans in general.
2. Often, as they *kinda* touched on in this video, games made for both platforms will actually perform better on Linux and even if they're made for Windows will perform (in most cases) nearly equivalently on Proton.
3. Price. Linux is absolutely free and Windows is infinitely more money (and often time) to get running.
Gamers want to play games without Windows Update interruptions, play games that perform objectively better, and gamers don't usually like to spend more money just because.
As a bit of a anecdote, I've noticed that people end up having a lot more background activity/tasks through everyday usage of Windows than on Linux. But again that's just anecdotal.
9:27 After years of practice, Linus almost managed to drop himself to the ground
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.

@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.

@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).

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.

Before switching to Linux Desktop earlier this year, I ran everything on macOS... so Game support for me actually improved a lot
Nobody plays games on Mac

Can we get an updated version of this for 2022? Gaming on Linux has gotten MILES better since Steam has begun working on Proton for the Steam Deck
Yes, Just in time for Win-11 comparison too.
I'd switch if it wasn't for most anti-cheats not working on Linux, that takes away a big chunk of popular games
@@dumbodum Yeah. For me it's Hunt: Showdown, specifically.
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.
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.

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.
Me : Switched to Linux thought “well at least I’ll be a lot more productive since I won’t be gaming so much.”

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.

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?
Every time i want to start cmd in windows, i automatically press Ctrl+Alt+T and then i remember
hahahahhahaha. same buddy. i switch between OSes for work and stuff like that, and i instantly see even though Windows 10 looks slightly more polished, it doesn't feel as snappy as my linux. Terminal made me wanted to learn commands the first time i used it.

Same here lmao. If someone has some kind of problem in windows I'm like: I take the keyboard > Ctrl + Alt + Delete > iwait like 3 -5 sec > oh. Windows...

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?

I tried out Linux about 3 weeks ago and god was I surprised, took me sometime to learn, but it took me less time to learn ubuntu than windows, also theres a printer I could never get to work no matter what I tried on windows and when I installed Linux and booted it, I saw the notification X printer was just added, made me love Linux only by booting
I turned my Samsung SSD into a Mint OS drive and been playing with Steam and getting a feel for Linux. Haven't used it since Mandrake 7.0. It's pretty comfy and super fast/smooth compared to windows.
I'm glad people are enjoying the Linux experience.
No system is problem free, so Google can be very helpful. Or some subreddit.
That's true, i have a very old Canon photo printer with Windows support ended at Win7. But on Linux it just worked right out of the box :D
My father had the same experience. He had a printer with a "Designed for Windows" logo, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get it to work. He had been working on that problem for a half year or something, when I asked if he had tried Ubuntu, which he had not. Booted my key ring and printed out a page in less than five minutes. This was a decade ago, so live booting was slower than they are today. Yes, there have been corner cases and for some users, Ubuntu hasn't been a real alternative for all of that decade, but for me it has been superior to Windows for a long time now.
5:14 what about gpus that don't have Vulkan? Fermi as far as I can imagine is a terrible choice for Linux cause it introduces DX11 but has no Vulkan leaving OpenGL as you're only viable option. Am I wrong?

I love that you guys are pushing Linux. You're big enough you can actually make a difference. I've been getting in to Linux recently and I'm encouraging my friends to try it out. Only issue for me is I have to dual boot, because I use the Adobe suite and I 3D animate with Lightwave.

@FQMP FQMP from my experience it would seem like you're running low on memory
@FQMP FQMP no, but sometimes i ssh into the desktop from my laptop and keep a window open running "tail -f /var/log/syslog" so i can see what messages are being printed when something happens. i can also use it to force-restart the desktop environment if it freezes. i sadly must admit that the desktop environment freezes up for me more frequently than my macbook does or windows did.. the flip side is that i can pretty much always recover it without rebooting.. sometimes my desktop apps get killed, sometimes they don't...
but in general, even when the desktop environment freezes, network connections and remote terminals will not, so you can still access the system "remotely" :| we're in deep "power user" territory at this point, obviously
@FQMP FQMP Are you using Wayland or Xorg?
I remember experiencing some freezes when using Gnome on Wayland, but then it disappeared when I switched to Gnome on good old Xorg (I was on either Ubuntu 20.04 or Pop OS 20.04 at the time. I tested them in succession)
Wayland is promising, but it's young and still has the occasional bug.
Right now I'm using Fedora 32 (because I really don't like how Ubuntu is trying to impose things like Snap packages, and other similar stuff they did in the past).

Pierre C. I don’t know i am loving kde much more then gnome . I use manjaro plus kde . I push really hard my ryzen 2500u . I run vm with ide ,browser ,database editor . I am suggesting you should try manjaro.pacman plus arch is very good .
@@sagarrajak6996 I've already tried Manjaro (and a few others). For work I need to deal with some Centos servers, so using Fedora makes a lot of sense, because the repos and commands are very similar (also, I've never met anyone adventurous enough to run their server on any Arch-based distro, even amongst the biggest fans of Arch/Manjaro/Artix/Endeavour...).
KDE looks great and offers a lot of customisation, but I found it a little bit buggy sometimes. Gnome is far from perfect; the first thing I do is install Tweaks and a few extensions (dash to dock!), then the experience becomes good.
But something important to me: when evaluating a distro, I always test how long it takes for me to be able to type in Japanese (alas, many distros are very American-centric and completely ignore the needs of people who need more than the latin alphabet for typing). Usually, the best results are from distros using Gnome as a default desktop, and have ibus set up out-of-the-box, like Fedora, or Ubuntu (but even then, it's still far from perfect). For others (including Manjaro), the documentation is either obsolete or confusing (and generally both). There are a couple billion people on this planet whose first question when using a computer might be: "I need to type in Chinese/Japanese/etc., how do I do that? (installation, how to use, etc.)". The answer shouldn't be "just buy a Mac"
So these are the main reasons why I'm currently using Fedora rather than Manjaro (until I decide to distro-hop again... xD).

@@JohnnyThund3r You'd be surprised what you can do with Blender (it's not just 3d modelling application) or Da Vinci Resolve
Sounds great! Although I can't figure out what you're talking about ;(
Fun fact: Linux was so small on the desktop scene that valve didn't have any anti-cheat for Linux until like 2017-18
03:38 Linux is good for retro games? And here I just bought myself a cheap laptop with Windows 7 so I could play all my old games.
Way too many of them just don't work right in Windows 10.
Guess it's time to give Linux another shot.
Yeah I can play most older games using wine.
Generally, yes - to the point, that some never-Linux people started porting/building Wine on Windows (which I find ridiculously funny)… As for DOS gaming, I recommend dosbox-staging (it works better on Linux than on Windows).
Just saying- if you get anything with gnome in it this extension might be useful (available for both chrome and firefox) it's not what it looks like: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gnome-shell-integration/gphhapmejobijbbhgpjhcjognlahblep
Emulation wise, the major new emulators has Linux support, also retroarch has native support too. For dos games you can use dosbox or pcem.
Now with wsl2 you can install wine on windows 10 (windowsception)
8:45 You forgot to mention Davinci Resolve?!
Unfortunately it still doesn't support some codecs like H.265*, but I agree. It is one of the better options.
*EDIT: H.264 not H.265
It works flawless, but it's important to mention that h.264 codec is not supported on the free version of resolve
@@abdallah_m It does support them with some tweaking but only in the studio version, not the free one
Can we get the Adobe suite to Linux ffs how hard can this be. Remake Premire, after effect audition and lightroom bridge photoshop into 2 apps
lightworks as well
Biggest pusher of Linux on the desktop is Windows 10 at the moment :p.
Indeed.
I am planning a big PC renewal with the next AMD CPU'S and am fully jumping on Linux when i do.
I will make a dual boot but i will be using Linux as my main and just have Windows for the few jobs or games Linux still needs some work.
@@SIPEROTH Don't make a dual boot. It's unnecessary. I did the full transition about 3-4 months ago and there was nothing I missed from Windows.
retro geek i miss being able to play games with EAC (easy anti cheat kills compatibility with linux completely literally end all be all)
retro geek also linux hates nvidia : ( rip my 1050ti
@@retrogeek4372 Eh, depends on what you're doing. Linux is better than Windows for most tasks, but there are some things that won't work right in Wine/Proton and don't have very good Linux alternatives. Video editing and DVD authoring softwares, for example. I've been primarily a Linux user for about a decade (have been using Arch Linux derivatives the last 5 years or so, Mandriva and Debian before that; never liked Ubuntu), but still keep Windows for the few small things that need it.
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.
