Video getting viral and many newbies coming to my channel. Saying. I'm flexing and not showing how to do this. I showed everything! , just checkout my channel. I have 200+ vids.
Hey, any chance to run a USBIP server on my phone? It's got a pretty decent camera that I'd like to use as a wireless webcam. I'm running LineageOS which is android base. I was looking all over Fdroid for a packgage that would let me use it as a wireless webcam but no luck.
Well this is good. I absolutely love itt. But, you know not everyone wants to spend their time to put up the works just like you did. Anybody who wants a simplicity and a right out of the box ecosystem tends to just buying apple. You can't deny it
@@Adnardiean This is true, but KDE Connect can archive very similar results without really investing time besides installing the App and granting permissions. It also does not look you out of Android, IOS or other platforms.
It's hard for some people to wrap their heads around the idea that all your devices can talk. They don't even have to be in the same place. Everything is a network in a network in a network. Feels like magic.
@@bugswriter_ The issue is, that unrooted Android 12+ devices have phantom process killing. So the Termux session just dies after 5min even with unrestricted battery optimalisation and wake-lock
people tend to forget they have been learning how to use either M$ windows or apple (if you were a rich boy) since they were kids. So who spent more time learning to use a ecosystem is quite obvious.
I am a full time Linux user but I also owned Apple products in the past. I get what you are saying. However you can't deny that the integration of Apple products is top notch. We can replicate most of the functionality in Linux as you show in the video but it will never be as seamless and easy as using Apple devices. We can install server/client software that does some of the things. We can connect and configure devices to work in a certain way. And that's great for us Linux users. We like tinkering and we are technical. However Apple products do that out of the box without any configuration. And that is why people keep raving about it. Even someone who knows nothing about computers can get these features. You have an Apple watch you can unlock your Apple devices without doing anything else. You phone is connected to your computer without setting it up or installing software. Your airpods are ready to work just by proximity to your Apple device. You share files, clipboard, without the need of mounting filesystems, permissions or installing any additional software. Of course for this "convenience" you need to pay absurd amounts of money to buy Apple devices and be locked in their walled garden. This is unacceptable for us. The average non technical user does not care!
This can be done on linux if someone had the ability to write a gui/program that will allow you to do the same thing just as easily (since most of the backend is already there). Like usual Linux relies on terminal and memorizing commands to do it. If I knew how to code I'd make this myself
You are actually wrong about the "without setting it up" phrase. You do need to connect all those devices via your Apple ID because all of this convenient and automatic setup is done by services connecting via your ID and Apples servers. With Linux there are no centralized servers in most cases, you could use. However it would be technically possible to connect all your devices via a UI application which only requires similar input from the user. It's not like Apple is doing anything ground breaking here. They just setup your systems for you while keeping pretty much full control over it. People thinking you pay with only your money in this case are wrong as well. Apple heavily controls how you can use your devices and they do apply limitations in many cases. On Linux you have full control over it. The setup might be a bit more technical today but it could be equal tomorrow. However you wouldn't loose any control over your system. There's really no need to buy such features from Apple. Just buy some FOSS developers a coffee. Might get you way further...
@@TheJackiMonster You would be signing in with your apple ID anyway. Its not like sitting down and fiddling with multiple apps and complex terminal hacks just to get some basic functionality. I never said that Apple was doing anything ground breaking. Google basically does the same things as well as others. They just doing it well and smoothly. Of course your data is on Apple servers. Same with Google or any other non-self hosted cloud service. If you are put off by that then don't use it. I personally don't have anything in my apple notes that would get me arrested. If I used these cloud services for something questionable I might think different about it. I do think its funny that all these people talking about their "privacy" all have google accounts and carry around a government tracking device at all times...lol Most people do not have the time, the inclination or the know how to set up their own cloud and tinker with all their gadgets to get the wish version of what Apple provides out of the box.
With Linux you get the freedom (if you’re a skilled person and are willing to put some work), with Apple you get the convenience and optimized performance, out of the box.

Lots of people say Apple is more expensive because they're already setting up your devices (although locking you in to their ecosystem and infrastructure) and because of that it "just works". Maybe that was a thing in the past, but I've had nothing but problems with most recent Apple integrations. I helped a friend switch from a 2012 MBP to a 2021 M1 MBA (carrying over around 100 GB worth of files). Their migration assistant failed 4 times and for each failed attempt I had to format the drive on a brand new M1 MBA since migration assistant created a new partition for the migration and failed to delete it if the process did not finish gracefully. The drive would get to 100% and the M1 would get so slow it would take over an hour to boot up before I could even attempt to clear out the drive. After all these failed attempts I decided to setup SSH (built in to MacBooks, took about 5 minutes to configure) and manually transferred the files from one Mac to the other using scp and rsync. Worked like a charm, no data corruption, no infinite progress bar with inaccurate ETA, it "just works". Apple's ecosystem and integrations are cool when they work, but when they don't work they are just as troublesome as actually trying to figure out how to do it yourself. Hope they get it right soon because those new M1 and M2 machines are really nice altogether.
who in their right mind would migrate apps and system files from an intel Mac from 2012 and expect it to run smoothly on an ARM machine almost 10 years later? lol I mean come on dude
@@Areaeees Hi Raul, I didn't say anything about moving apps or system files. I was migrating personal data, documents, pictures, you know the usual stuff you're gonna find in a laptop that's been used for over 10 years. I'm quite aware of the different processor architecture. Maybe don't assume stuff and be a little less angry at internet strangers next time :)
@@akiragmg why would you use a migration assistant to transfer over just personal files ? It will literally be much faster to use external SSD or storage - not to mention more seamless - maybe you created this problem on your own lol
The difference between Apple and Linux device integration is that Apple administers the integration while on Linux, the person has to administer it. Having every person administer their own integration will not take off.
From my take, for it to take off, is for a vendor to start selling a Linux box that will integrate with most to all your devices. The main problem with Apple is that they control your data. If a vendor manages to sell a Linux box that will host all your data and supports the maintenance of it, then you have a better way than Apple. Currently, setting up everything yourself, for most people, is not a better way.
As a linux user I get the premise and the idea behind the video, yes of course we can do all that, we can actually do whatever we want it's a fully customisable OS. However, we have to bare in mind that the people that use Apple or Windows products do it because of the ease that a solid UI provides. We know how to tinker and create through the terminal but most apple users that connect their devices have never even touched a terminal and they are not the crowd that even wants to. If we were to create apps that could do these connections as seamlessly and effectively as the apple ecosystem does then we could actually refer these people to Linux but as long as it remains terminal based it's going to deter most of casual users from adopting it. Think about all of the setup it takes to even achieve these, it's not really all that long a process and just because I'm intrigued I'll do it myself but the 40 year old office worker that barely knows how to manage a file system through a UI like windows explorer is not even going to know this is possible nor would they dare attempt it due to how overwhelming it must look to them, it was never about capabilities as much as it is about ease of access. Sure I can manage my own server were all my phone files are automatically backed up to my PC, allowing me to have back ups without any corporate cloud use and sure it is more safe if I know what I'm doing but can and should everyone know how to do all this, when their 1000$ apple phone does it for them with a subscription and the push of a button (in my opinion yes but it's highly unlikely that it'll ever happen)?
this absolutely blew my mind -- i recently installed zorin os on an old hand-me-down laptop and i'm just starting to learn about linux and everything within it. seeing all of this really makes me want to switch even further with all of my devices.
as much as someone would say "we'll you had to take all the time to learn that, and standard users will never figure it out." Yes, there's already Linux distributions that solve that problem. This type of stuff though is getting closer to the bare-metal of understanding all of computing. Linux stays out of the way of letting you achieve it if you wanted to. If you don't need it, you just run a system as normal and pick up some advanced stuff for when you need to troubleshoot (like you have to do on every computer in existence when something wrong happens).
completely disagree. u don't need easy linux distros. people need computer literacy, which school don't teach, but they can learn from internet. a person living in tech era, should know, basic of how computer work, how to write a simple programs. basic shell. I mean COME ON it's not that hard. fine leave ssh, but if u can't just use nautilus in gnome to connect with your server or laptop .. just don't use computers. even 12 year old minecraft addicted kid figure out, how to type hostname , username, port and password.
@@bugswriter_ true. That's why I liked reading that Arch fundamentally believes that they have no place in making Arch more "user friendly." They have no say in choosing my experience beyond supplying a sturdy repository to install from. I have yet to even set foot outside of it from Windows, and there's still a ton of stuff I don't understand. Yet, I still take time to learn stuff as I go along, and I recognize that any of the same problems I see can happen on any other system. While I get what you mean too, after working in IT for a few years now, I've met the people that are beyond willing to try. Hearing "it just doesn't work" is the worst. I can at least point at OBS corrupting things during hardware encoding and say "I don't know what's exactly causing it, but it's probably the encoder or the mesa driver." I ran out of time to test it myself and I lack experience in cracking bugs that go to hardware and driver levels, so I'm not sure. I'm glad to have gotten to the point of understanding my PC this much, and am still learning to do more.
Things we still need to ( maybe ) figure out to shut "apple ecosystem" users up forever: 1. Receiving phone calls on your computer. ( Not just receiving notification ) 2. Ipads: MacOS syncs with IPads in a way that you can just go from one to other. ( I haven't used it actually and don't know much about this feature although I don't know how something like this would translate to linux. ) 3. Continuity Camera. This should work on Linux just like the microphone did and I have used an android app that just lets you use your camera via WiFi on your computer. 4. Handoffs ( Continuous web browsing ): This should also be easy as i've noticed even Firefox has this third mode which lets you continue from where you left off on your computer. ( Although I guess that needs you to sign up which is logical ) 5. Universal Clipboard: I don't know if this feature is even useful as it feels annoying to share clipboards on multiple devices although I guess it is pretty much achievable. 6. Siri: I don't understand if they bring it up. Do they or anyone even uses Siri. ( Even tho it is achievable on Linux ) 7. Apple Watches: If they bring this up, Smart Watches just integrate with you android phones and your android phones are already accessible. If we are able to achieve #1, this is already achieved. Apart from ecosystem features, there are some features in MacOS which I wish were available in the best possible way on Linux: Trackpad Gestures: Linux Trackpad Gestures, we need to admit, are not as good. I have used gestures on Gnome, KDE and Touché and none of those are as nice as the ones on MacBooks. The MacOS gestures still allow very less tweaking but they are very smooth. I saw bugs demostrate gestures on his HyprLand setup and i was quite impressed but they were still not nearly as smooth. ( Maybe, it's the trackpad hardware, so I am going to try to setup linux on a macbook and see for myself )
For calls, what I usually did was KDE Connect + Bluetooth connection to my phone. Was able to pick up calls via desktop, and audio was routed to my PC over Bluetooth. All of these are actually doable, it just takes time and I don't think anyone at the moment is prioritizing this. Google is now implementing a new USB camera feature like Motorola but on AOSP, so that should be fun to see - we can then just plug in our phone via USB and use it as a web camera. Nearby Share if implemented for Linux can solve a few issues.
This is very awesome to be honest and being able to do such things without paying anyone and absolutely free is something that must exist. However, sometimes especially when things get very busy and complicated with accounts, accessibility, large amount of data this can get harder and also easier to break and hard to fix. So we people sometimes we want to make it simpler by having everything set-up and someone else taking care of the problems. Also dont forget that the UI and all the optical representation is well built and designed by companies like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung etc and most important a non Computer Tech human can handle this very easy. Of course there's an impact, money! But is every choice you get what you pay!
It's amazing how much better kdeconnect is than anything microsoft/apple has made, and it's possible because of desktop standard such as mpris that allows you to control media players remotely. It's so nice to use, just get home and it's automatically connected and ready. I use kdeconnect to send files between devices, share clipboard between android and my pc, to show android notifications on my computer, control media player from phone when im lying down on the bed watching videos or to automatically pause the video when I receive a call.
I'd have to disagree.. I had kdeconnect setup with my pixel 4a.. most of the time I couldn't get or make calls, the connection was spotty, it would let me send audio like pandora to the computer though. Maybe it was debian being goofy, maybe it was aosp not playing well with the app. I never got texts working with kdeconnect though. With windows, I at least have the ability to call/text. I have my phone setup as my webcam in linux.. honestly that works really well, just annoying that I have to re-install every month or so as a new kernel comes out. Haven't tried with my windows laptop yet.. I have a webcam on it .. Apple on the other had is the best implimentation I've seen yet. Answer or make phone calls. Answer or make texts. Use phone as a webcam. Answer or make video calls, etc.. all without having to configure anything since you signed into your icloud account when you setup the device. No extra software to install.. it works out the box so to speak..
Making me seriously consider running my own ecosystem now 🤔 sounds like a fun, interesting background project to have going on as I want to make it grow, automate, or personalize 😉 thanks
Apple integration is opinionated and seamless. When my phone rings, my watch rings, and so does my computer. Cut and paste between my phones and computers are automatic. If someone else is logged in, then cut and paste between their phones and computers is automatic. These are only two examples of integrations that work out of the box, with no out-of-the-box equivalent on linux. I build products for linux, and I deploy services on linux, but I do it on my mac.
Such kind of device interconnectivity is not exclusive to Linux, but the advantage is that in Linux it's really damn straightforward to accomplish. No fumbling, no third party crap, no hacky workarounds, no PuTTY, no SMB. It's designed to be this way. That's why Apple and Microsoft come up with other file sharing solutions to market "ease of use", obfuscating basic client/server networking and file sharing in order to upsell you a bigger iCloud or OneDrive plan.
Very nice setup. One idea that I would like to give is to add your laptop and phone IPs to your /etc/hosts. This will allow to not type IP in any of the commands and they become more scriptable. You can always change the /etc/hosts in case your IP changes.
Fellow freesoftware advocate and a UI/UX designer here , my 2 cents is that everybody uses devices for different reasons , not everyone is tech savvy and not interested in learning all these , Linux ecosystem is very niche and cater to very specific people. Integration like apple , jack of all like windows , control like linux let people decide what's best for them ...
I hate to be that guy, but I sort of have to... A Windows system and a Linux system can BOTH beat the living daylights out of the Apple ecosystem. Only thing it takes is a dead CPU, dead motherboard or dead charge plug... Since Apple is anti right to repair and loves to encrypt their drives and even make it impossible to just move the storage drive to another board, Linux and Windows have a massive one up on Apple. Windows, you can plug your drive into any new machine and if you are lucky, boot it enough to save your data, or hook it up as a second drive and save your data at worst. Linux, you can boot it up and use it as if nothing had ever happened, even if the hardware is drastically different from what it was running on before the failure occurred.
It's all about convenience. Us power users knew of ecosystem before Apple even had one. Them Apple users heard of 'ecosystem' from those Apple products, and it's all right there for you to use without any hassle. They loose the freedom that a system like Linux provides, but they never knew of/needed it in the first place.
The only problem is that this requires you to set things up, to configure each device or component to work with the others. And while it may not be difficult, it is a fair amount of extra time and effort compared to just being signed into one account on Apple and all the devices being connected and configured automatically.
@@dangdudedan8756 I only have 1 KDE machine, the others are running Hyprland, Android, Windows, and at one point GNOME too. KDEConnect works great on all of them.

Don't waste your time explaining it to them: they don't want to learn and they don't care. So let them pay 2000€$ for their new MacBook every 2-4 years, and think of it as a "tax" only for stubborn ignorance. If people valued real skills you would have been rich by now, but instead they want e-celebs, iPhones, and cooking recipes on tiktok and Instagram.
that unfortunately can hurt the entire market. I'm getting miffed knowing that most phones these days giving only 5 years of basic updates because people all throughout the 2010s-2020s thought it was a good idea to buy a new phone every year...
meanwhile decent high end thinkpads still cost $1.5K/Rs 1.3 Lakh tbh though the build quality and keyboard is miles ahead of macbooks imho and with the new zen4 level processors the gpu is providing PS4 level graphics
this is actually really convenient i would switch over to a full linux ecosystem if i could just play games on my computer without having issues with anticheats (vanguard)
Just dont play games that require those bullshit. Csgo works fine on linux, Minecraft java too... And most games will work fine on windows vm without sacrificing any performance except extra ram used. Just dont play valorant haha
I've heard the reason some of those anticheats don't work is because they're way too invasive and are basically a virus that binds to the very core of your system. There is 0% chance linux, let alone it's userbase would allow closed-source code running in the kernel, absolute zero. This goes against security, privacy and every Linux principle.
A quality eco-system needs eye-candy and I think GTK4 is the best looking toolkit out there. It's incredibly easy to use and, despite misconceptions, very theme-able. Can't wait to get a Linux phone to experience the full thing.
Hey Bugs, is it possible to have some type of termux or Linux functionality on say a Google Pixel Watch or equivalent? It would be so cool to send commands from a smart watch and skip music on your pc/laptop with a smartwatch.
I discovered your video because I was watching UA-cam on my iPhone and I wanted to press a button that would pause the UA-cam video, send it to my laptop with Ubuntu, and play it from the same hour/minute/second. I'm halfway through your video about the Linux Ecosystem, and I suspect that you will not talk about how to have a seamless experience in UbuntuiOS like that of iMaciOS.

@@Areaeees it's been a while and no response... I really like the set up and I'm willing to do the work to make it happen, but I didn't go to school for IT and I have no time to read through potentially dozens of hours in articles to figure it out. Most of my trouble shooting is maybe 5 articles/websites/videos. If it's more than that then I don't really have time to do it.
@@gabe20244 in my opinion, it’s not worth it if you’re not trying to make IT and computers a hobby or your job. This is because you will have to fix problems and will have to search the internet and do research on it.
The short answer before even watching the videos is NO. You cannot match the Apple ecosystem with Linux. You can tinker, install lots of apps that can kinda sorta do some of the things. But ultimately its not near as smooth and doesn't come close to working as well or as seamless as Apple. I've been a Linux user since 2005 and a Mac user since 2008. You aren't going to compete with a $700 billion dollar company with free and open source software that the developers care so little about they wont even give it a decent UI...lol
UI is for the weak. Embrace the console. -Linux users, probably. Jokes aside as I've trailed off to the deep end, getting frustrated with Gnome on top of all the other desktops... going with a bare window management, I now understand why Linux is not newb friendly. Because people who are at its peak are so technical they have no idea how an average person would find the OS convenient. "Why do you want a UI to do this, all you have to do is go to /etc/fstab and..." yeah no shit buddy you can do it but the fact you have to edit a cryptic file in a cryptic way is already putting people off, and not only that you will also tell them to use vim or nano, when people are more used to things like notepad (or well, gedit, but you won't tell them to use gedit). So yeah, they/we just don't care. We can make it. But we won't use it. So we don't make it. It is a sad reality.
You can also use mDNS for hostname instead of fixed IP. It has issues with my Android 12, but Android 12+ has implemented it. Works fine for any other devices.
@@andreichicu2799 I think Avahi client should run on the PC and daemon on the Pi (though it's good to run both on both). If Avahi is running and you still have problems, it maybe related to firewall.

Hey, that's a great tip! I might start using usbip for rerouting the input devices betwee bedroom pc and livingroom instead of (or together with) fiddling with event device forwarding and/or xdotool (which is, by the way, worth a look as another very convenient tool to ease the livingroom sofa experience). Thanks Bugs!
what would be usbip good for? im legit having trouble to come up with a use case. if you want microphone input on your laptop next to you, why not plug it in there? if you want your mouse on another device id assume you would also want to see the screen. rdp and vmc already forward the mouse in a more seamless way.
Any time that you have to open the terminal, you immediately prove their point. Apple requires no setup, it just works. That's why people love it. I love messing with my setup and customizing it to my liking, but someone like my mom will never be able to comprehend anything beyond signing into their Apple ID, and that's ok.
I'm an IT guy that went from Windows / Linux to Apple for this reason. Yes shares are good, they work but it's just not the same. If I take a picture on my iPhone it's on my other spare, my hackintosh and my old 10 year old macbook. You don't need to be rich to run Apple software. My desktop runs Monterey and is a 4th gen i7 with an old RX 580 in it. The thing is worth 150-200 max and it's flawless. It depends on the individual. I'm still humble and only buy used apple hardware and fix it myself. Not everyone that likes Apple is rich and stupid. After using many different services over the last 15 years, iCloud stood out the most reliable and least time wasting platform. No messing, even if signing a device in from a rebuild everything is just back where it was.
time is worth more than money and SSH'ing into everything and keeping shares maintained is a ball ache. It's all internal too. Yes you can SSH over the net but that is horrid and not safe unless you start paying for certificates to keep it secure etc etc. iCloud you just click a folder n it's there from anywhere with an internet connection. My time is worth more than paying a cup of coffee's worth a month to use 200GB cloud on old crap that still runs nicely.
I want to know if there will be any hassles in operating such ecosystem Since I will be starting college I want to use the power of Linux I am willing to learn all the major things but the problem is I don't want herself after one or two year and need to change to windows so should I stick to windows and be safe Or go with linux and be different
Apple ecosystem is the "throw Money on the Problem till it's fixed" Solution, while the Linux Ecosystem requires the user to do the heavy lifting, by learning nearly the whole OS
I have seven desktops, two laptops, and two phones in my home network. Everything Linux or Android (which is also Linux). I can place calls through my phone from any of the computers. If I'm watching a movie and one of my contacts calls me, the movie pauses and I get a message on the screen telling me who is calling (KDE Connect). Keep in mind this is basically a Unix close, the OS created for networking. And iOS/Mac OS is a grandchild of Unix. That's what "ecosystem" means, that you're using a Unix-like setup.

@@writegoodcode That is true, battery life is fine-tuned by the manufacturer using the shipping OS. You're not going to get the same battery life in a laptop that came with Windows 10 after you upgrade to Windows 11 either (although the difference won't be so big, since they strive to keep compatibility). The M1 and M2 processors are RISC ARM, so they are one step further in efficiency. Nothing by Intel of AMD compares --yet. Eventually everybody in the personal PC market is moving to RISC. M1 and M2 are like phone CPUs, but adapted to a laptop, hence the amazing battery life. So far all you do is regular stuff like play non-AAA games and browse the web, watch movies, listen to music, etc. it will work fine for you. But for other things like creating animation, 4K video editing, VR, or scientific work, it still has plenty of issues.
@@Areaeees thats completely unrelated. Linux is a software. Laptops are hardware. I do have a 16inch m2, the battery is great and would last even longer if i ran arch linux on my m2 instead of osx.
Agreed with everything but you're absolutely undermining the reality that it took you all your life to be this fluent with your ecosystem! Not everyone is willing to have this lifestyle & the intermediary that compensates for this is Apple! It makes the process easier without terminals & advanced or even intermediate knowledge of tech being required, as much as I agree with you I also cannot help but realize what you have in tech you lack in economics...
Apple has a smart watch too in their ecosystem Would love too see how you integrate it into Linux ecosystem (yup, I'm a member of danklinuxusers server )
Ok, so how long did it take you to set all of this up? Because there's absolutely no comparison between how seamless all of this integration is in the Apple ecosystem & the extended effort that it takes to set this up in other ecosystems.
Also, no privacy, highly restricted, no freedom and way more expensive on apple. I don't see how it's even an argument. If those things means nothing to you stay with Apple, they need you for profit.

I am a full time Linux user but I also owned Apple products in the past. I get what you are saying. However you can't deny that the integration of Apple products is top notch. We can replicate most of the functionality in Linux as you show in the video but it will never be as seamless and easy as using Apple devices. We can install server/client software that does some of the things. We can connect and configure devices to work in a certain way. And that's great for us Linux users. We like tinkering and we are technical. However Apple products do that out of the box without any configuration. And that is why people keep raving about it. Even someone who knows nothing about computers can get these features. You have an Apple watch you can unlock your Apple devices without doing anything else. You phone is connected to your computer without setting it up or installing software. Your airpods are ready to work just by proximity to your Apple device. You share files, clipboard, without the need of mounting filesystems, permissions or installing any additional software. Of course for this "convenience" you need to pay absurd amounts of money to buy Apple devices and be locked in their walled garden. This is unacceptable for us. The average non technical user does not care!
Well, you get what you pay for. For Linux, you don't even pay and it is still awesome! I get Linux over anything else everyday!
This can be done on linux if someone had the ability to write a gui/program that will allow you to do the same thing just as easily (since most of the backend is already there). Like usual Linux relies on terminal and memorizing commands to do it. If I knew how to code I'd make this myself
100% correct except for the absurd prices. Buy refurb or used Macs and you are below PC prices.
You are actually wrong about the "without setting it up" phrase. You do need to connect all those devices via your Apple ID because all of this convenient and automatic setup is done by services connecting via your ID and Apples servers. With Linux there are no centralized servers in most cases, you could use. However it would be technically possible to connect all your devices via a UI application which only requires similar input from the user.
It's not like Apple is doing anything ground breaking here. They just setup your systems for you while keeping pretty much full control over it.
People thinking you pay with only your money in this case are wrong as well. Apple heavily controls how you can use your devices and they do apply limitations in many cases.
On Linux you have full control over it. The setup might be a bit more technical today but it could be equal tomorrow. However you wouldn't loose any control over your system. There's really no need to buy such features from Apple. Just buy some FOSS developers a coffee. Might get you way further...
@@TheJackiMonster You would be signing in with your apple ID anyway. Its not like sitting down and fiddling with multiple apps and complex terminal hacks just to get some basic functionality.
I never said that Apple was doing anything ground breaking. Google basically does the same things as well as others. They just doing it well and smoothly.
Of course your data is on Apple servers. Same with Google or any other non-self hosted cloud service. If you are put off by that then don't use it. I personally don't have anything in my apple notes that would get me arrested. If I used these cloud services for something questionable I might think different about it. I do think its funny that all these people talking about their "privacy" all have google accounts and carry around a government tracking device at all times...lol
Most people do not have the time, the inclination or the know how to set up their own cloud and tinker with all their gadgets to get the wish version of what Apple provides out of the box.
With Linux you get the freedom (if you’re a skilled person and are willing to put some work), with Apple you get the convenience and optimized performance, out of the box.
Just buy a computer that comes with Linux preinstalled.

Bug's friend : Today let me tell about our lord and saviour, Apple
Bugs : Blasphemy
nice one xD
Lots of people say Apple is more expensive because they're already setting up your devices (although locking you in to their ecosystem and infrastructure) and because of that it "just works". Maybe that was a thing in the past, but I've had nothing but problems with most recent Apple integrations.
I helped a friend switch from a 2012 MBP to a 2021 M1 MBA (carrying over around 100 GB worth of files). Their migration assistant failed 4 times and for each failed attempt I had to format the drive on a brand new M1 MBA since migration assistant created a new partition for the migration and failed to delete it if the process did not finish gracefully. The drive would get to 100% and the M1 would get so slow it would take over an hour to boot up before I could even attempt to clear out the drive.
After all these failed attempts I decided to setup SSH (built in to MacBooks, took about 5 minutes to configure) and manually transferred the files from one Mac to the other using scp and rsync. Worked like a charm, no data corruption, no infinite progress bar with inaccurate ETA, it "just works".
Apple's ecosystem and integrations are cool when they work, but when they don't work they are just as troublesome as actually trying to figure out how to do it yourself. Hope they get it right soon because those new M1 and M2 machines are really nice altogether.
This exact situation happened to me. People can use simple frontend gui for scp instead of so much unnecessary bloat.
wow, you'd think they would make sure their software works since they are literally designing the software to work on the hardware THEY designed
who in their right mind would migrate apps and system files from an intel Mac from 2012 and expect it to run smoothly on an ARM machine almost 10 years later? lol I mean come on dude

Maybe don't assume stuff and be a little less angry at internet strangers next time :)
@@akiragmg why would you use a migration assistant to transfer over just personal files ? It will literally be much faster to use external SSD or storage - not to mention more seamless - maybe you created this problem on your own lol
Been using Linux for +10 years and didnt know about usbip. Amazing
The difference between Apple and Linux device integration is that Apple administers the integration while on Linux, the person has to administer it. Having every person administer their own integration will not take off.
Those things he showed in the video can easielly be put into a GUI app that's super noob friendly. If there is demand someone will do it.
So you don't like to control your devices
Ok
I might take off if it was better implemented in the school system. Linux has the potential for those kinds of things.
From my take, for it to take off, is for a vendor to start selling a Linux box that will integrate with most to all your devices. The main problem with Apple is that they control your data. If a vendor manages to sell a Linux box that will host all your data and supports the maintenance of it, then you have a better way than Apple. Currently, setting up everything yourself, for most people, is not a better way.
As a linux user I get the premise and the idea behind the video, yes of course we can do all that, we can actually do whatever we want it's a fully customisable OS. However, we have to bare in mind that the people that use Apple or Windows products do it because of the ease that a solid UI provides. We know how to tinker and create through the terminal but most apple users that connect their devices have never even touched a terminal and they are not the crowd that even wants to. If we were to create apps that could do these connections as seamlessly and effectively as the apple ecosystem does then we could actually refer these people to Linux but as long as it remains terminal based it's going to deter most of casual users from adopting it. Think about all of the setup it takes to even achieve these, it's not really all that long a process and just because I'm intrigued I'll do it myself but the 40 year old office worker that barely knows how to manage a file system through a UI like windows explorer is not even going to know this is possible nor would they dare attempt it due to how overwhelming it must look to them, it was never about capabilities as much as it is about ease of access. Sure I can manage my own server were all my phone files are automatically backed up to my PC, allowing me to have back ups without any corporate cloud use and sure it is more safe if I know what I'm doing but can and should everyone know how to do all this, when their 1000$ apple phone does it for them with a subscription and the push of a button (in my opinion yes but it's highly unlikely that it'll ever happen)?
"Idiot admires complexity, genius admires simplicity "

this absolutely blew my mind -- i recently installed zorin os on an old hand-me-down laptop and i'm just starting to learn about linux and everything within it. seeing all of this really makes me want to switch even further with all of my devices.
USBIP seems interesting. That's probably easier then running the clients on the nanoPi. But it also means I definitely need that USB sound card.
as much as someone would say "we'll you had to take all the time to learn that, and standard users will never figure it out."
Yes, there's already Linux distributions that solve that problem. This type of stuff though is getting closer to the bare-metal of understanding all of computing. Linux stays out of the way of letting you achieve it if you wanted to. If you don't need it, you just run a system as normal and pick up some advanced stuff for when you need to troubleshoot (like you have to do on every computer in existence when something wrong happens).
completely disagree. u don't need easy linux distros.

@@bugswriter_ true. That's why I liked reading that Arch fundamentally believes that they have no place in making Arch more "user friendly." They have no say in choosing my experience beyond supplying a sturdy repository to install from. I have yet to even set foot outside of it from Windows, and there's still a ton of stuff I don't understand. Yet, I still take time to learn stuff as I go along, and I recognize that any of the same problems I see can happen on any other system.
While I get what you mean too, after working in IT for a few years now, I've met the people that are beyond willing to try. Hearing "it just doesn't work" is the worst.
I can at least point at OBS corrupting things during hardware encoding and say "I don't know what's exactly causing it, but it's probably the encoder or the mesa driver."
I ran out of time to test it myself and I lack experience in cracking bugs that go to hardware and driver levels, so I'm not sure. I'm glad to have gotten to the point of understanding my PC this much, and am still learning to do more.
@@bugswriter_ You should become a computer science teacher for real so that you can show everyone how its done
@@bugswriter_ yeah, maybe start some beginner series on Linux and CS/networking/privacy in general?
Things we still need to ( maybe ) figure out to shut "apple ecosystem" users up forever:
1. Receiving phone calls on your computer. ( Not just receiving notification )
2. Ipads: MacOS syncs with IPads in a way that you can just go from one to other. ( I haven't used it actually and don't know much about this feature although I don't know how something like this would translate to linux. )
3. Continuity Camera. This should work on Linux just like the microphone did and I have used an android app that just lets you use your camera via WiFi on your computer.
4. Handoffs ( Continuous web browsing ): This should also be easy as i've noticed even Firefox has this third mode which lets you continue from where you left off on your computer. ( Although I guess that needs you to sign up which is logical )
5. Universal Clipboard: I don't know if this feature is even useful as it feels annoying to share clipboards on multiple devices although I guess it is pretty much achievable.
6. Siri: I don't understand if they bring it up. Do they or anyone even uses Siri. ( Even tho it is achievable on Linux )
7. Apple Watches: If they bring this up, Smart Watches just integrate with you android phones and your android phones are already accessible. If we are able to achieve #1, this is already achieved.
Apart from ecosystem features, there are some features in MacOS which I wish were available in the best possible way on Linux:
Trackpad Gestures: Linux Trackpad Gestures, we need to admit, are not as good. I have used gestures on Gnome, KDE and Touché and none of those are as nice as the ones on MacBooks. The MacOS gestures still allow very less tweaking but they are very smooth. I saw bugs demostrate gestures on his HyprLand setup and i was quite impressed but they were still not nearly as smooth. ( Maybe, it's the trackpad hardware, so I am going to try to setup linux on a macbook and see for myself )
For calls, what I usually did was KDE Connect + Bluetooth connection to my phone. Was able to pick up calls via desktop, and audio was routed to my PC over Bluetooth. All of these are actually doable, it just takes time and I don't think anyone at the moment is prioritizing this. Google is now implementing a new USB camera feature like Motorola but on AOSP, so that should be fun to see - we can then just plug in our phone via USB and use it as a web camera. Nearby Share if implemented for Linux can solve a few issues.
@@GaganMalvi Sadly KDE Connect calls do not works on a Macbook + Android combo
Apple ecosystem is like OG Guts and the Linux ecosystem is like little musashi from vagabond. We just haven't reached that level yet.
This is very awesome to be honest and being able to do such things without paying anyone and absolutely free is something that must exist. However, sometimes especially when things get very busy and complicated with accounts, accessibility, large amount of data this can get harder and also easier to break and hard to fix. So we people sometimes we want to make it simpler by having everything set-up and someone else taking care of the problems.
Also dont forget that the UI and all the optical representation is well built and designed by companies like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung etc and most important a non Computer Tech human can handle this very easy.
Of course there's an impact, money! But is every choice you get what you pay!
Your content is awesome bro keep making such amazing stuff
It's amazing how much better kdeconnect is than anything microsoft/apple has made, and it's possible because of desktop standard such as mpris that allows you to control media players remotely. It's so nice to use, just get home and it's automatically connected and ready. I use kdeconnect to send files between devices, share clipboard between android and my pc, to show android notifications on my computer, control media player from phone when im lying down on the bed watching videos or to automatically pause the video when I receive a call.
if u can get past the bugs
KDE connect is brilliant. Better than any other integration I've used.
I'd have to disagree.. I had kdeconnect setup with my pixel 4a.. most of the time I couldn't get or make calls, the connection was spotty, it would let me send audio like pandora to the computer though. Maybe it was debian being goofy, maybe it was aosp not playing well with the app. I never got texts working with kdeconnect though. With windows, I at least have the ability to call/text. I have my phone setup as my webcam in linux.. honestly that works really well, just annoying that I have to re-install every month or so as a new kernel comes out. Haven't tried with my windows laptop yet.. I have a webcam on it ..
Apple on the other had is the best implimentation I've seen yet. Answer or make phone calls. Answer or make texts. Use phone as a webcam. Answer or make video calls, etc.. all without having to configure anything since you signed into your icloud account when you setup the device. No extra software to install.. it works out the box so to speak..
Making me seriously consider running my own ecosystem now 🤔 sounds like a fun, interesting background project to have going on as I want to make it grow, automate, or personalize 😉 thanks
Apple integration is opinionated and seamless. When my phone rings, my watch rings, and so does my computer. Cut and paste between my phones and computers are automatic. If someone else is logged in, then cut and paste between their phones and computers is automatic.
These are only two examples of integrations that work out of the box, with no out-of-the-box equivalent on linux.
I build products for linux, and I deploy services on linux, but I do it on my mac.
Probably the most mature take on here lol.
Linux is addictive .... if you once get into this environment you won't like any other ... Heads up for you
Dude, i ditched MS after realizing i was using 60% RAM to simply boot up my already beaten up laptop, i have a deep rooted hate for Windows
Such kind of device interconnectivity is not exclusive to Linux, but the advantage is that in Linux it's really damn straightforward to accomplish. No fumbling, no third party crap, no hacky workarounds, no PuTTY, no SMB. It's designed to be this way. That's why Apple and Microsoft come up with other file sharing solutions to market "ease of use", obfuscating basic client/server networking and file sharing in order to upsell you a bigger iCloud or OneDrive plan.
Very nice setup. One idea that I would like to give is to add your laptop and phone IPs to your /etc/hosts.
This will allow to not type IP in any of the commands and they become more scriptable.
You can always change the /etc/hosts in case your IP changes.
Fellow freesoftware advocate and a UI/UX designer here , my 2 cents is that everybody uses devices for different reasons , not everyone is tech savvy and not interested in learning all these , Linux ecosystem is very niche and cater to very specific people. Integration like apple , jack of all like windows , control like linux let people decide what's best for them ...
I hate to be that guy, but I sort of have to... A Windows system and a Linux system can BOTH beat the living daylights out of the Apple ecosystem.
Only thing it takes is a dead CPU, dead motherboard or dead charge plug...
Since Apple is anti right to repair and loves to encrypt their drives and even make it impossible to just move the storage drive to another board, Linux and Windows have a massive one up on Apple.
Windows, you can plug your drive into any new machine and if you are lucky, boot it enough to save your data, or hook it up as a second drive and save your data at worst.
Linux, you can boot it up and use it as if nothing had ever happened, even if the hardware is drastically different from what it was running on before the failure occurred.
It's all about convenience. Us power users knew of ecosystem before Apple even had one. Them Apple users heard of 'ecosystem' from those Apple products, and it's all right there for you to use without any hassle. They loose the freedom that a system like Linux provides, but they never knew of/needed it in the first place.
i like the subtle "I Use Arch BTW" that happened twice.
The only problem is that this requires you to set things up, to configure each device or component to work with the others. And while it may not be difficult, it is a fair amount of extra time and effort compared to just being signed into one account on Apple and all the devices being connected and configured automatically.

There is 0% chance linux, let alone it's userbase would allow closed-source code running in the kernel, absolute zero. This goes against security, privacy and every Linux principle.

Explaining linux to an apple user is like talking to a muslim about jesus
What monitor are you using? Glossy monitors like that are hard to come by
The short answer before even watching the videos is NO. You cannot match the Apple ecosystem with Linux. You can tinker, install lots of apps that can kinda sorta do some of the things. But ultimately its not near as smooth and doesn't come close to working as well or as seamless as Apple.
I've been a Linux user since 2005 and a Mac user since 2008. You aren't going to compete with a $700 billion dollar company with free and open source software that the developers care so little about they wont even give it a decent UI...lol
UI is for the weak. Embrace the console. -Linux users, probably.
Jokes aside as I've trailed off to the deep end, getting frustrated with Gnome on top of all the other desktops... going with a bare window management, I now understand why Linux is not newb friendly. Because people who are at its peak are so technical they have no idea how an average person would find the OS convenient.
"Why do you want a UI to do this, all you have to do is go to /etc/fstab and..." yeah no shit buddy you can do it but the fact you have to edit a cryptic file in a cryptic way is already putting people off, and not only that you will also tell them to use vim or nano, when people are more used to things like notepad (or well, gedit, but you won't tell them to use gedit).
So yeah, they/we just don't care. We can make it. But we won't use it. So we don't make it. It is a sad reality.
@@someoneelse5005 I could not have said it better myself.
You can also use mDNS for hostname instead of fixed IP. It has issues with my Android 12, but Android 12+ has implemented it. Works fine for any other devices.
could you point me to a blog post or something about mdns.. I tried setting it up so I can easily ssh in my raspberrypi with no luck :(
@@andreichicu2799 I think Avahi client should run on the PC and daemon on the Pi (though it's good to run both on both). If Avahi is running and you still have problems, it maybe related to firewall.
@@andreichicu2799 UA-cam is deleting my detailed reply. Posting links will also not be possible here.. It's just simply if you have Avahi client and service running on the PC and Pi. Android has issues with mDNS.
bruhh i love your setup alot, very nice explanation, deserves a sub and a like!
everybody's commenting about how Apple ecosystem is the best or how Linux rocks, but has anyone actually wondered what that "uncensored.mp4" file contains? 😅
Please send me link 🙏
Now thats a cool Gnome setup!! Currently using Fedora 38 as well and Gnome 44 just flys....!!
Hey, that's a great tip! I might start using usbip for rerouting the input devices betwee bedroom pc and livingroom instead of (or together with) fiddling with event device forwarding and/or xdotool (which is, by the way, worth a look as another very convenient tool to ease the livingroom sofa experience). Thanks Bugs!
So simple!
What exactly were you trying to show?
Bohemia at the end is really a surprise for linux user
what would be usbip good for? im legit having trouble to come up with a use case. if you want microphone input on your laptop next to you, why not plug it in there? if you want your mouse on another device id assume you would also want to see the screen. rdp and vmc already forward the mouse in a more seamless way.
Any time that you have to open the terminal, you immediately prove their point. Apple requires no setup, it just works. That's why people love it. I love messing with my setup and customizing it to my liking, but someone like my mom will never be able to comprehend anything beyond signing into their Apple ID, and that's ok.
Works well !!!! Thank you man .I love your videos so much to explore .
4:05 your phone has more uptime than my own server wtf
it's not like you poweroff your phone every day when you're done using it
My monitor has a special feature "Windows only"😂😂😂😂😂
I'm an IT guy that went from Windows / Linux to Apple for this reason. Yes shares are good, they work but it's just not the same. If I take a picture on my iPhone it's on my other spare, my hackintosh and my old 10 year old macbook. You don't need to be rich to run Apple software. My desktop runs Monterey and is a 4th gen i7 with an old RX 580 in it. The thing is worth 150-200 max and it's flawless. It depends on the individual. I'm still humble and only buy used apple hardware and fix it myself. Not everyone that likes Apple is rich and stupid.
After using many different services over the last 15 years, iCloud stood out the most reliable and least time wasting platform. No messing, even if signing a device in from a rebuild everything is just back where it was.
time is worth more than money and SSH'ing into everything and keeping shares maintained is a ball ache. It's all internal too. Yes you can SSH over the net but that is horrid and not safe unless you start paying for certificates to keep it secure etc etc. iCloud you just click a folder n it's there from anywhere with an internet connection. My time is worth more than paying a cup of coffee's worth a month to use 200GB cloud on old crap that still runs nicely.
The difference is the time to set up vs your personal need for privacy
Hello how can i set up USB ip on my home server that runs rocky linux i cant find anything onnline do you have any idea?
Thank you
That goodnight on the right feels me at home
What monitor do you have? It look so colorful and sharp even on camera
Which protocol are you using for setting up access to device's files?
I want to know if there will be any hassles in operating such ecosystem
Since I will be starting college I want to use the power of Linux I am willing to learn all the major things but the problem is I don't want herself after one or two year and need to change to windows so should I stick to windows and be safe
Or go with linux and be different
I have one tablet
one phone
and one PC
Just learn Linux from cli. Good for college students.
Linux is so underrated in India, few videos came up and now I'm also so interested, bdw all windows software can be used in Linux right ?
We need more content like this! And in more detail! Didn't know things like these were possible on our beloved Linux.
"Didn't know"
In some ways it demonstrates the point: "you can do it if you know how to" versus "given and advertised out of the box."
Is there a full guide from scratch tutorial to make emacs looks like doom emacs ???
Idk but I can't get friends with Gnome... Maybe it is because I have too much KDE merch
Can someone recommend me a video explaining how to achieve that
Tell me you like anime without telling me you like anime :DD
I like animated version of manga with voice over
00:47 It doesn't exist - i love you 😂😂
how do you get that menu with application and where you can switch to a new desktop i really love that pls share it
you mean gnome 4?
@@bugswriter_ yes I just got it..thank you for help:-)
Apple ecosystem is the "throw Money on the Problem till it's fixed" Solution,
while the Linux Ecosystem requires the user to do the heavy lifting, by learning nearly the whole OS
I have seven desktops, two laptops, and two phones in my home network. Everything Linux or Android (which is also Linux). I can place calls through my phone from any of the computers. If I'm watching a movie and one of my contacts calls me, the movie pauses and I get a message on the screen telling me who is calling (KDE Connect).
Keep in mind this is basically a Unix close, the OS created for networking. And iOS/Mac OS is a grandchild of Unix. That's what "ecosystem" means, that you're using a Unix-like setup.
does your laptop battert last as long as a macbook m1?
I love linux, on pc's but on laptops they just have crappy battery life no matter what you try
I was with my gf a few days back, and we watched movies entire night, and my macbook m1 still had 20% left my morning. I'm sure I'd never get this experience on linux
@@writegoodcode your battery life is related to your hardware, has nothing to do with linux vs macos. Truth is that your macbook m1's battery would last longer is it ran a linux flavor instead of macos since it's less hardware taxing.
@@writegoodcode That is true, battery life is fine-tuned by the manufacturer using the shipping OS. You're not going to get the same battery life in a laptop that came with Windows 10 after you upgrade to Windows 11 either (although the difference won't be so big, since they strive to keep compatibility).
The M1 and M2 processors are RISC ARM, so they are one step further in efficiency. Nothing by Intel of AMD compares --yet. Eventually everybody in the personal PC market is moving to RISC. M1 and M2 are like phone CPUs, but adapted to a laptop, hence the amazing battery life.
So far all you do is regular stuff like play non-AAA games and browse the web, watch movies, listen to music, etc. it will work fine for you. But for other things like creating animation, 4K video editing, VR, or scientific work, it still has plenty of issues.
@@TehGettinqmaybe, but apple m series laptops already have the best battery life of any laptop right now while also drawing less power.
@@Areaeees thats completely unrelated. Linux is a software. Laptops are hardware. I do have a 16inch m2, the battery is great and would last even longer if i ran arch linux on my m2 instead of osx.
but how will i know what to consoom without ads in my windows
Agreed with everything but you're absolutely undermining the reality that it took you all your life to be this fluent with your ecosystem! Not everyone is willing to have this lifestyle & the intermediary that compensates for this is Apple! It makes the process easier without terminals & advanced or even intermediate knowledge of tech being required, as much as I agree with you I also cannot help but realize what you have in tech you lack in economics...
Apple has a smart watch too in their ecosystem
Would love too see how you integrate it into Linux ecosystem (yup, I'm a member of danklinuxusers server )
behold android watches!
WearOS watches exist bro
Amazing, even being using Mac myself I would always recommend to go for Linux based eco-system to save money. Apple taxes are just being increased.
I really need to use Microsoft Excel, that's why I must use Microsoft Windows.....no one can replace Microsoft Excel....because the rule, format.....
Ok, so how long did it take you to set all of this up? Because there's absolutely no comparison between how seamless all of this integration is in the Apple ecosystem & the extended effort that it takes to set this up in other ecosystems.
like few hours? you only do it once anyway
Also, no privacy, highly restricted, no freedom and way more expensive on apple. I don't see how it's even an argument. If those things means nothing to you stay with Apple, they need you for profit.
All the Apple haters never talk about this lmfao - it takes a long time to set up. Now imagine you don’t know anything about Linux? It gets even worse.
@@marcinzdunek2902 a few hours? You realize that it’s absolutely NOT a few hours with Apple products, right? You do realize that it’s pretty much immediately, right?
@@ent2220 I’m not doing secret squirrel shit on my systems, so I don’t need NSA levels I’d privacy. I’m not restricted from doing anything that I want to do. I’m free to use my system however I intend to use it -I’m not chasing any white whales, so there’s nothing elusive here in terms of freedom. This isn’t some sort of tech holy war. I’ve spent decades in multiple OS camps & there’s always been one incredibly disturbing characterist shared by all of you “freedom” guys -you all seem to not realize that most people don’t want to spend hours setting up their tech ecosystem, they want to use their tech to get the job done for them as quickly & hassle free as possible. While you’re fiddling with your tech for hours just to set up everything to do what other products do right out of the box, an Apple user is finishing up their project. They’re finishing their work & you haven’t gotten a chance to even start yours. Your entire argument fell apart before you even started.
The USB thing looks cool, but does not work. All I get is "unable to bind device" and it doesn't matter what device I try to bind.
well done, my main pc is on windows but the rest of my machines are on arch and debian. SMB, FTP and SSH are all things i use on an almost daily basis along with VNC if i'm running a VM on my server. as for USB over IP, didn't know this was possible so i might give this a try
