I found out about your channel recently and I'm so happy that I found someone who actually has based views on Linux related stuff, for the right reasons. Loved your reaction video!
I have serviced clients that use gecko as their backoffice workstation OS the Managers use to access their Corp VPN. This was a major fast-food franchise, fairly recently. A kernel and a GUI is all they need. Most Linux sycophants have no idea about use-case and business topologies.
Agree everything except one thing your distinction between what you call a recommendation and advertisement. These are advertisements pure and simple by definition: "describe or draw attention to (a product, service, or event) in a public medium in order to promote sales or attendance.".
I've been listening to your reaction videos all day, and laughing my ass off much of the time. You've really got a gift for expressing what should be obvious, honest, common sense ideas! I have been retired from IT for 8 years, but I still love computers and the operating systems that run them. At my house, we have 1 Windows 11 PC, 1 Windows 11 Surface, 2 Ubuntu PCs, 1 Zorin 17.1 laptop, 1 Macbook Air, 1 Mac Mini, and an iMac. It's a sickness, I know, but I love all of them. I subscribed to your channel. See you soon!
my first reaction to your videos was meh, but now, dude, i'm watching your videos back to back all day instead of finishing those stranger things 4, haha. gj.
I'm a Boomer and I use Ubuntu, because it is free, like in free beer! If the beer is free, I would even drink a Heineken :) I liked DEC RSX/11 (1980); Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (1993) and Windows XP (2002). I still use a Windows XP VM to play the wma copies of my LPs and CDs. Windows Vista on a badly designed new Dell laptop, made me dual boot with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. After retirement on 1-1-11 I completely switched to Ubuntu. By the way Vista did run nicely in 2010 after two service packs and after I swapped my HDD to one with twice the throughput (80MB/s instead of 40MB/s).
These people - and I mean a lot of them - are delusional. I suspect a lot of these UA-cam Keyboard cowboy experts don’t have any idea what the end user level experience is really like . I’ve run w10 stable since ‘15 or ‘16. Generally speaking, it works great on all my devices. W11 works great on my Thinkpad. I’m a nerd, I like to play around. However, when it comes to real with, I need things to just work and without issues. Windows and Microsoft has essentially provided my that experience, and I for one love my OneDrive experience for over a decade now.
Him saying that you have a say in where the project is going if you're not a programmer is such BS. Most open source programmers really don't care about what the userbase is whining about, they're just doing whatever they feel like which is one of the reasons a lot of open source software is garbage to use. With proprietary, paid software there's a financial incentive to improve things for users. Free, Open Source software is usually done by people in their own free time, most of them probably on a spectrum.
I don't agree that the Windows start menu doesn't contain ads. These "recommendations" are there because they paid money to Microsoft, and then they are on every Windows install. This is sponsored content / ads, not recommendations
ads and sponsored recommendation is not 100% the same. and linux have it also, every preinstalled app could be seen as a recommendation or sponsored app. You did not choose to install it, and the distro recommended it to be installed, and could then be seen as a endorsement or ad for set program.
@@KentsTechWorld With the difference that they are in the software center, where you'd expect software recommendations, and not in the start menu and those programs on Windows are partially actually installed. 99.9% of Linux preinstalled apps are not sponsored, it's just what the maintainer put together.
So it's okay for a distro maker to "force" his choice of software on to it's users and "recommend" them to use set programs, but if Windows do it, it's not okay, or is it that they may or may not get paid to do it that's the problem??
@@KentsTechWorld You're not forced, you can choose another distro lol and with Windows you can't even uninstall some pre-installed apps (at least not officially) And yes that is a huge difference that those apps are sponsored, I'm not complaining about the normal pre-installed apps like Calendar, Email, Photos, etc..
@@KentsTechWorld Can you install Linux from scratch? Yes. Can you do that with Win? No. In that simple fact, you have the thing that's making preinstall on Linux ok.
I've been using windows since 3.1 came out when I was a little kid, and I've never had the "problems" the guy in that video claims he does when new versions of it come out. Just like anything else there's always going to be a little bit of a learning curve when a new os hits the market, but it shouldn't completely cripple your ability to use it out of the box unless you're deliberately trying to make the transition as hard as possible for yourself.
24:47 I wish "Just remove them" was a working solution. I can still be okay with ad or recommendation whatever you want to call it as long as they are okay with my choice of not having them after I remove it once. But MS will makd sure to put them back there through some "important updates". It shouldn't even be there in the first place. Windows is not a freeware, we pay for it. Why would it have promoted apps?
i have never had MS putting them back in after i removed them, well let me say they have not done it since 2017 or so, can't remember if they did in the start of Win 10
@@KentsTechWorld I have experienced that before and after 2017. It's not like they'd install that exact same set of sponsored apps back. For example let's say I have Candy Crush now, I uninstall it. It's all clean, I don't have any other such sponsored ad installed. The I would receive a new update and after restart I will probably find some Mickey Mouse staff in the start menu. Now I will have to remove this bs and they will put something else there after next update. It goes on.
It does not? When you remove them, it removes them and does NOT install it back. What bs are you talking about? I just installed windows yesterday through 2018 windows 10 iso and updated into windows 11 but it never installed applications back
That guy is wrong about users' ability to affect MS. There was an outroar about the lack of a start menu in Windows 8. MS reasonably quickly released 8.1, which fixed the issue. All subsequent versions retain the start menu. Users want better gaming support. MS provided better gaming support. etc.
Shortest comment that I've ever left on this channel. Mental Outlaw sounds like one of those people who watches a Twitch streamer, donates x amount of money, and then thinks that he owns the Twitch streamer. A donation is a donation. If someone walks up to me and drops $1000 in my lap, I'll be thankful, but I'm not their bitch. Now if someone walks up to me and tells me that they'll pay me $1000 for x action, and I agree to it, there's a deal in place.
They care shaping, look at China what does which is a vision for upcoming scary thing and example for other countries. Not only money matters but also shaping is vital for goverments.
Great reaction. That guy was spouting a lot of bs. I'm a software developer. Have been for 30 years. I've utilised lots of open source libraries. None of them track users, but they do all have bugs and security or instability issues. Open source software makes it harder to get work done, in my opinion, because the quality control is clearly second rate. I could go into great detail about the issues I've encountered with open source, but this is YT where no one cares.
Mental Outlaw have some good content but most of the time he just look like a linux extremist. But don't worry, because you know he run gentoo so he is even better than a arch user (just look is videos and you will see that its is mentality).
One important thing to note about software development, is that it's easy to implement new features than fixing bugs. The way I see it in the open source community, they always always create new unimportant features, and OF COURSE delay fixing bugs until the last minute or they don't do it at all. I know for a fact that a bug report 4 years old, still to this day not fixed in the dolphin explorer. Money is important, unfortunately you can't really generate money by going open source.
This guy I hate because he talks about privacy but at the same time he would gladly ban adult content and say we need to use our ID. dude is also not as smart as he claims he is. just because he works at geek squad, doesn't mean he's good at computers.
And then they loose the floppy or it get stolen :) :) The only security is, that the technology is so outdated, that nobody can read those floppies anymore, except the museums and the collectors of ancient hardware.
11 too, it's been solid on all the machines I have installed it on. And it's free!! **** If you had 7 8 or 10 **** saying that 8 was free 10 was free all you had to have was a genuine copy of 7
I think that you tend to take sentences a bit to literally, clearly not everything he is saying is to the 1st degree, from the zoomer comment to ads on windows menu, you take the most uncharitable interpretation of those sentences and assume the worst.

This is a toxic video reviewing anouther toxic video. Does running windows in a VM make sence, yes as you can isolate it better and use it to test cross platform abilities of the software your developing. Overall I would say open source is not as productive but can still be better as its not as open to spying, can it happen... yes Audicity is a good example. BTW.. I see your using windows with a linux VM...
LMAO. It's not a review, its a reaction video ;) Running windows in a VM is not a good security argument as many software programs can fin ways of getting out of the VM and in to your host, a VM is not a sandbox.
