Is the Windows Bubble Popping?

- Windows has been steadily decreasing in quality since Windows Vista. As a result, newer releases add buggy and useless features, impose bloated updates, and continue to run glorified spyware on your computer.
With Windows' recent foyer into AI affairs, it is no wonder that people are finally opening their eyes and using Linux, especially considering Linux's increasing viability as a consumer-friendly desktop operating system.
M$ features are not at all aligned with the user needs. They keep releasing bullshit features like recall which no one wants and they think the users are cannon fodder only meant to be milked for money be it ads, telemetry or some other trick.
completely agree. Complacency is a huge issue.
@@_Learnix While complacency might be one of the issues it remains a fact that the intentions of the M$ are pure evil. I can't forget the way the killed all competition by putting in stinkers in the Windows code. This is probably a reason for windows stinking to high heavens.

Love when on windows 11 you put a program on Fullscreen and the Windows vista window shows up for a second
They know they didn't done anything new, only rebranding old stuff and the Cursed Windows Vista show up and hide, just to see you suffer every night and fucking try to do important stuff on this hell of unoptimized and just bad of a system.
Windows 11 is constantly dragging vista back down to the pits never to be seen again
you can find traces of older OS-es, stretching as far back as literal win3.1
it's just a giant pile of patches upon patches, no wonder they need to release updates every 3 days to make it not topple over the smallest of hurdles.

That Recall feature tells us what Microsoft exactly wants. I mean ALL your data.
I am not a microsoft apologist but that's not what recall did. Everything was handled and stored locally

I was going to add a part in my original reply about the security concerns but had a feeling that wasn't what the OP was worried about. (They scared of Microsoft more than a hacker, which is valid as a general nobody on the internet.)
I know that Recall wasn't encrypted and held sensitive data in image format. It doesn't stop the tech from being, actually and genuinely, impressive and would be useful if secured in some way, perhaps being encrypted on disk and behind the MS authentication app.
@@eyevou they will find a way to bypass MS authentication.
it's never about just the operating system. it doesn't matter how dog$h!t the operating system is, as long as the software vendors don't move their arses, some people are going to have no choice but to use windows which i'm almost 100% certain that's what's gonna happen.

Fucking seriously. The Linux ecosystem provides literally everything I want from an OS and even better, EXCEPT software support. Many programs and games need to be run through a compatibility layer at the cost of performance. I genuinely don't give a shit about any of Windows' supposed "benefits" compared to Linux, except the software support.
@@Wahaller cost of performance? I’ve seen games like Elden Ring and Apex Legends run at higher frames on my machine while using Linux compared to windows
@@Wahaller frrt
@@DemureTrack Well there are only a few cases of games running better through proton on Linux than Windows, I wouldn't use that as an argument. However, the performance overhead of proton / wine is very minimal. Unless you're gaming on a toaster, it's a non issue.
Yeah it's the only reason I haven't switched yet a bunch of my games just don't work on Linux I've even noticed that things that work on one distro don't work with another even if their made very similarly
Windows 11 has such an awful User Experience that it now comes with a “Copilot”… the jokes write themselves.

And they were right,Linux is the most used os in servers,it's insanely big.
Yeah, that's true (only if by saying "big" you mean "bloated")
@@cyanmargh Linux is a modular design, it can be as bloated or as empty as you want it to be, the only thing that is a must run is the kernel (and even that can be rebuilt with only the kernel modules you need)
@@celestialsylveon6453 There are more than 30 million lines of code in the Linux kernel alone. Don't you think that's a bit much for a program whose sole purpose is to simply run other programs?

Tbh windows xp and 7 was a great product.
It was thought out, very stable, had lots of powerful administrative tools and it just didn´t constantly change or download random new apps, drivers and bloatware on it´s own.
It may not have been perfect, but i have lots of good memories with win7, not so much with win8(.1).
And ever since win8, it went downhill straight.
Win10 is a disaster but with newer hardware, i adjusted to it and moved over.
But the countless times they broke drivers, software compatibility and even VST plugins etc. by enforced updates, it´s mind blowing.
The whole time, windows 10 was nothing but beta software, like someone constantly tinkering around with your pc.
And now win10 finally came to a finished, stable end and they just dropped win11, meaning to drop win10 in 2025, leaving millions of perfectly good IT hardware behind because of sEcUriTy.
Guess what, even if you have that shit TPM 2.0, too bad your CPU is too old and you´re not supported anyways.
If you install it anyways, well good luck getting the next feature updates installed.
Oh and they just found an UEFI firmware bug in the TPM modules on anything Intel from 7th gen upwards to 12th gen (i think?) which basically makes anything vulnerable, even the new "secure" windows 11 machine you just bought.
Glad my main rig is on the AM4 platform, seems like it doesn´t have this issue.
After win10 i´m finally going full linux.
I´ve been dualbooting since 2019, as i knew this day would eventually come.
I didn't even get to Win10. I disabled updates on 7, from day 1. no issues. Still have it on one of my drives infact. But with PopOS, I dont see the need to get into Win7, unless its a specific game that is so bad that Proton cannot run it well enough.
Yep I was using win 7 from win7 release candidate so even from before the release till near the and of 2023 when my motherboard died. Avoided newer windows versions like a plague and when the time came switched to linux mint and i love it.
I guess it's a good thing I kept that darn TPM chip disabled. I didn't want to deal with the "Upgrade to Windows 11" full screen panels, so I made sure to setup my laptop with a configuration incompatible with Win11.
My desktop still has the same OS I put on it when I bought it 8 years ago, and to this day it just works.
using windows 7 now for music, has better compatibility than windows 10 🌝 less than 10% of vst plugins work with linux, i forget if reaper is even available on linux. i can't let go of reaper.
honestly if windows decides to one day release a clean platform that isn't built atop literally every single windows version from 3.1 onwards, i might. but then again, if they decide to put that much effort into an OS, they'll probably only do it because they want to streamline it (because mac is getting too close to having an actually recognizable market share)
Anyone watching this after nearly the entire ecosystem died from one update?
And it wasn't even a microsoft update. It was from some third party servicing things windows should already have lmao
@@rodolphov.santoro8829 as much as I love to rag on Microsoft the crowdstrike failure was crowdstrike's fault. they did a similar thing for the debian version of their product months before the big worldwide catastrophe, but it didn't make headlines because most pcs run windows.
If Linux wants to get bigger we need a more streamlined experience. A trio of distros, one with all the gaming bells and whistles, one for professionals and a lightweight distro for weaker hardware.
Instead we have a thousand distros all trying to be Windows while doing MOST things Windows does just worse. And the community is so toxic they'd rather act superior than help newcomers with their questions which drives them away.
I'm an indie developer making a game for Dreamcast and Linux users told me I "can't code" because I can't use a terminal; like dude that's not coding, that's just giving an instruction to a terminal the same way pressing buttons on a remote instructs a aTV to perform a function, don't insult me if you want me to make a Linux version of my games too.
Furthermore, a native port isn't possible when distros have issues with compatibility among each other.
My game uses the Dreamcasts Direct X 6 compatibility and works on Windows 98 all the way to Windows 11 so far, while on Linux, Mint is near flawless, while Arch won't even run it past the menu.
These three issues need to be addressed before Linux gets even half as big as Windows, and believe me I WANT Linux to get bigger. Microsoft was far better when they had competition in MacOS/Macintosh years ago.
I want to slap those people so freaking much! I love working in the terminal because that's what feels comfortable but not everyone is comfortable with that. In some cases, the terminal is a worse experience. I'm a dedicated NeoVim user who also works in Godot. Ain't no way am I editing GD script in NeoVim when Godot has a perfectly good editor built in!
Also, just wanna say that the fact that you're working on a Dreamcast game is awesome! Any recommended resources for developing on the system?
git gud
Honestly there is only a few good linux distros that people shoud actually use. There is debian, ubuntu, mint, fedora, arch, and a few others that the majority of people actually use. RHEL and CentOS already exist for commercial purposes. Steam os is dedicated for gaming on the steam deck. Honestly it doesn't really matter what distro you pick as they all have the same functionality overall, they may just look different.
To be completely fair, that's because Arch has ALMOST NOTHING installed by default, it's meant to be modular on a per-install basis. Trying to test for compatibility with Arch Linux is generally a lost cause.
Also on a secondary response, most of the toxicity comes entirely from Arch Linux elitists; most of the people using nearly any other distribution are fully understanding of normal users.
P.S. based Dreamcast enjoyer, love you bro
i never activated windows ever with money , i always use free methods, because they dont deserve it

Windows is free nowadays anyway

You mean M 4 5 5 gr4v3? Yeah, noice.
why would you waste a windows 7 key like that? yuck
Ease of access will always be prioritized over everything else in regards to computers. The reason we had the computer boom in the 90s was because of the implementation of GUI. _Intuitive GUI._ Linux is welcome to wait until Windows becomes so user unfriendly that people will consider switching, but they'll be waiting a very long time for that to happen. I'm just saying they could convince a lot of people to switch a whole lot sooner if they just did what computers in the 90s did and innovated on ease of use instead of focusing on features only a handful of people will actually care about.
also too many distros variants dont help with that. What distro should be advertised the most? What distro should be pre-installed on PCs and laptops?

The intentional removal of the ability to install windows with a local account (without a m$ account) is the complete proof of what they’re doing nowadays. Linux ftw
As a linux user of over 1 year, some people are underestimating how far away linux is from windows. Most windows users dont even know what linux is, let alone arent considering to switch to it. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) Linux wont be mainstream for a looong while.
I agree. I’m probably a dumbass for not preparing correctly to setup vnc and/or other remote desktop solutions, but when the tutorials don’t help and the alternatives end up screwing up your system when uninstalled, it’s glaringly obvious that Linux is yet to be a viable alternative for the average joe.
most windows users dont even know they can rename their user profile folder, change the location of Downloads.
There are way too many distros to be mainstream. What distro should be advertised the most? What distro should be pre-installed on PCs and laptops?
lol far away my ass. not even close to windows. i installed linux on my PC. my broadcom wifi didn't worked. text looked blurry so upon searching i got to know it is because of fractional scaling (AMD GPU). wayland and x11 both are messed up. most of the 3rd party apps sucks. zoom and discord has problem sharing display. ms office alternative like libre office or open office sucks.

The one thing that I’m worried the most about windows falling from grace is all the games and software that relies on windows compatibility. I’m kinda worried if the Linux community is going to be able to pick up the pieces of windows
yeah since some games like spore arnt being updated anymore but there is wine and proton os spore can run so i think we are fine plus therse always vms and emulators
@@redgaming4114 yeah but in my opinion it’s also the lil things that gave windows a large market share. Like Linux ain’t easy as it seems
Windows won't disappear. There will always be emulation for it. Linux is just eager to get every app from windows, to the point it become more stable to emulate than going to a made for Linux app. (Depreciation or dependency hell).
True,many a linux distro takes a bit more to set up,but there are some that are super easy to setup and use. I just switched to a Linux os, and it's actually super easy to get started. And I'm a complete noob when it comes to pc's.
Eh, I wager the same thing is gonna happen as with old-gen consoles and Dos!
People are gonna make emulators and compatibility layers (which Wine is), to run those programs and play those games!
It really just depends on if the developers want/can support them.
The common situation you hear on the web, is that a game's anti-cheat wont let Linux users play. But that is not because of the AC, but rather the game's developers disabling its compatibility, for reasons we can only speculate on.
There is also the development of web-apps. Photoshop and MS Office can be used from your browser!
Lastly there are always the alternatives. Too many to list here, and the quality and experience varies, so I recommend looking these up yourself. There are handy websites that keep track of them!
Microsoft - the company named after gates' d
You have reminded me of a ceetain joke from the early '90s. At that time I didn't even know what Microsoft was, or who was Bill Gates.

Is the Windows bubble popping? No. And don't expect that many people to switch to Linux. If anything they'll switch to Mac OS lmao. Microsoft knows people is not going to switch because Linux is very complex for the average consumer. They know this and they know they won't lose much market no matter what they do.

@@Grayest_Fox This is irrelevant
Id say something to counter this, but i have no experience with linux, as im a windows 11 user. Ive lately been thinking about switching to linux (probably fedora or arch) and made a promise to switch the moment my windows stops functioning.
That is true apart from the fact that windows deemed a lot of pc’s certified e waste. The ones who can’t update to 11. So that might change things
@@Jaydolon You can always test a Linux distro. The steps are easy, and just requires a good flash drive. Whichever distro you need depends on your daily tasks.
It is going to depend on what peripherals you use though, so just research into that.
Everything you mentioned windows becoming is quite clearly documented in the push for enshitification. Profits are the only thing that matter. EXCESSIVE profits. The shareholders demand it. Shareholders are their own worst enemy in such cases. the actively campaign for more profits without realizing profits mean you have to cut out the cust oriented things. For instance. Retail. The first people to go are the line levels. Then low level mgmt. Then cust friends options like return policies. Poor craftsmanship runs rampant. We're in the late stages of enshitified consumerism. The customer doesn't matter, only profits.
The time will never be right for Linux as it currently is. Following, rather than leading, always ensures you'll be behind, but Linux lacks the market share to lead in major ways, and instead has to play catch up with a lot of things, like HDR.
That's why it needs the market share in the first place, in order to lead in those ways. Obviously, the progress being contingent on volunteer work puts a damper on market share, but that progress still sticks with proper backing. This is how Linux gets acknowledged by companies like Valve, put in the spotlight, and given an opportunity to show people that it can do what all the other OSes can, and in many cases better.
If more cases like the Steam Deck are shown, Linux will be seeing the support of many more and will have no trouble with feature integration.
Doesn't Windows HDR suck ass though
@@_Learnix Linux kinda needs to have a few paid versions where it costs like 20 bucks and it just works.
Most people would pay for a "license" if it did almost everything that Windows does but without ads in the OS and for cheaper.
If it just worked aswell would push alot more people towards it.
The whole idea is not that it would be a non profit OS but instead a non greed and non privacy invading OS.
The motto could be "Get The Freedom That You Deserve"
Maybe that's on the box for the physical versions for these paid versions of Linux.
Another part of the idea would be that because it's a paid version alot of the money could and should go towards software support so that the OS could keep up with the world around it.
Genuinely I think that, that would fix alot of the problems with Linux is simply making it so that there's enough money for decent on time software support.
Because otherwise Linux will always be stuck trailing behind Windows.
@@alexandercatterson223 but the whole idea around Linux is being free to do whatever you want with it, including the actual install iso's being free of charge. On the other hand, lets say that your idea is actually done by a group of people or a company, it'll most likely sink almost instantly due to public opinion or alternatively they'll sit on a pile of money for doing absolutely nothing because everything is open source anyway and gets maintained by literally anyone who wants to maintain a respective repository/app/etc
@@gabedoesthings2400 I'm saying if there was a version that had actual paid maintenance that was almost always up to date.
If they created their own version of it.
Too it wouldn't be the first time that someone did something like that with Linux.
There have been a few times where someone has taken Linux, radically overhauled it for better or for worse and charged a fee to install their version of the OS but in those cases they have always just been lazy with support
Ive said rhis before but consumers will keep using the os where the software is.
If you want linux supremacy you need to get foss community to make industry defining state of the art software.... and make it exclusive to Linux.

As soon as Windows 10 EOL happens I think Linux is gonna be my choice, probably gonna keep Windows 11 on dual boot for games that don't work on Proton but even then might just uninstall it. Being forced to use AI with even more bloatware is a huge invasion of privacy and performance, even with Google; opting out of experimental AI does nothing they still prompt their garbage AI Overview that I never even wanted in the first place... Feels like more and more companies are using AI as an excusable feature to install more telemetry garbage that no one needs or wants. Also if I'm paying $139 for a Windows 11 key I sure as hell don't ever want ads on my OS. I'll find a way to deal with less features if it means I can actually own my OS.
In my experience most games work fine with proton its mainly just certain anticheats

I think it's good that the Control Panel is still in Windows 11 because Windows Settings can be a bit of a mess.
Gaming on Linux can be tricky, especially for games like Roblox that often don't work well even with tools like Wine.
Copilot+ PCs and laptops will probably become more mainstream for various reasons. While Microsoft has had its share of issues with data privacy and bloatware, these concerns can usually be addressed after installing Windows or purchasing a computer.
Having access to older panels from previous versions of Windows, like the Control Panel, isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's great for users who prefer the familiar interface over switching to Windows Settings.
Windows Registry being a mess is probably not too bad, I mean a normal End User is just gonna go there to do stuff.
That's through no fault of Linux, that's negligent companies not giving it support.
Also depending on legacy software because the "newer and better software" is actually shit is precisely why microsoft is garbage at what they do. They know people are okay with their half-baked duct tape solutions as opposed to creating real quality software.

Aside from 1 mysterious crash, there were no problems, it made juggling between input methods more easy with even letting me rebind some keys on the driver level just by editing a text file.
I still have a Windows boot option and the last 2 times I had to use it, it couldn't initialize the GPU drivers on the first launch.
How did you manage that? I'm certainly no fan of what Microsoft and Windows are doing lately, but last time I tried Linux, that's where I ran into GPU driver errors and a critical system file corrupting itself for no good reason and sending me to terminal, no gui mode, to figure it out on my own. Windows has been just fine.. Besides the aforementioned AI stuff and (lack of) privacy things they've done with 11....

Keep dreaming, Linux isn't going to replace Windows in the consumer level or enterprise End-Point level.
Linux is best for server and single enthusiasts.
Really not interested in linux becoming mainstream. That's code for corporate enshitification. I already left Windows due to enshitification. I don't want a return of enshitification this time within Linux.
I've thought about this before, and honestly I just don't see it happening.
I understand your fear, because Windows is a huge example of such. However, with the Unix-philosophy, the Linux source code and kernel literally being legally and practically impossible to close-source, and really easy to fork, there is just no way Linux would or could become such a way.
At worst, one distro will gain corporate backing and become something akin to an enshittified OS. But then again, many things can just be forked, and so many already existing packages are completely open source, so it's just a no-brainer to fork it and make a version that is free of anything malicious.
I don't see how it could happen at anything near the scale of Windows.
@@_Learnix Yeah, see what you are saying. But there is the odd contentious example like SystemD or PulseAudio which is difficult to avoid as most distros use SystemD. But it appears that PA is going away at least. And now Linus seems to favour SystemD too (it is contentious). And Lennart Poettering is designer of both of these and since 2022 is employed at Microsoft. Conflict of Interest?
@@bobmcbob4399 Huge one at that.
It's definitely a microcosm of the Windows and Linux war happening inside of Linux.
SystemD, a difficult-to-trudge-through myre of binaries? Yes.
Open source, though. Yes!
So even then, there is still a silver lining, making a fork of SystemD that is not as shittified is gonna be a lot easier than making a Windows that isn't shittified.
Either way, I think theres a clear advantage if I had to choose either Windows supremacy or Linux supremacy.

If microsoft just extended support for windows 10 they couldve dodged all this. Normies go to 11, MS make their money mining more data while they keep their core and enterprise users happy with 10. Basically a retread of vista and 8. But if I'm going to get fucked having to adjust to all the garbage in 11 I might aswell give the penguin a shot. So far 9 months with arch (btw) on my main system and I've basically lost nothing making the jump. A far cry from 10 years ago when opengl sucked for games and linux alternatives came with huge compromises.
MS tried a similar bet with vista and at *best* maintained xp marketshare while at worst lost those frustrated users to macOS. I just hope the exodus of normies give linux a try first.
There is no way I switching to 11 there is literally no reason for me to do so, 10 after all the updates actually is better than 7 now, but there is nothing that 11 offers that 10 doesn't do better atm

Tools like Winaero Tweaker can remove all ads and telemetry/spyware/copilot, and persist through updates, windows has kinda been going to shit, but linux is in no position to even be a remotely viable replacement.
For most people it actually is. Your average PC enjoyer just doesn't even know how to install an OS. That's also true for Windows installation.
Commercially, Linux isn't a viable replacement depending on the branch. The company I work for could easily do everything on Linux...our IT departement is just really, really clueless.
literally the only reason I personally use windows is because of games.
Nothing else, windows absolutely sucks
I would use Windows 7 which is miles better than both 10 and 11 combined, but no app support...
I love that this got recommended to me while I'm taking a break dealing with ANOTHER Win11 Update system error.
Unlike last time, I can't revert a previous win11 update or even hard reset my pc.
If I ever get my shit back (and I'm praying and begging to every known religious belief that has or ever existed that I don't end up with a $1000 metal brick) I'm going to immediately look for a Linux OS that doesn't fuck with my windows-related software.
"Yeah but the customers aren't gonna rip themselves off!"
I'm just pissed af cause I might just do the dual booth thing and it's not because of my normal games.
Cause honestly in terms of the games I play everything works as I've research and I don't play fps so I'm pretty good in that front. For me tho the Visual novels I've downloaded so far might not work or honestly will not work on Linux.
And I don't think I can find sources especially the RPGmaker games as well, Idk I'm honestly like getting concerned here too early or overreacting but dang if I can't play then I might stay on windows for a bit (or again dual booth if that's the right term) just to finish the dang collection I've download which will take a long time.
windows just slowly but surely pisses me off each update it just ain't it man. Just literally ain't it at this point I might as well watch a tutorial how to do an VM just to at least access some of my VNs and other stuff like Photoshop but honestly I already got that covered well... almost all creative stuff so either way gonna be a hard transition when I do get my new laptop.
It's "Dual Boot". Hope that helps.
Also I wish you luck on your journey! As far as I know, RPG maker games run completely buttery on Linux. Do you know how to use Wine? If you have a collection on Windows you can import it or copy it over and run it with Wine if you'd like everything to stay on Linux.
If you wanna look for the games you have and see if they're compatible, try protondb.com !
P.S. love the frutiger aero pfp
@@_Learnix First thank you very much honestly I've already saved your videos when I get my new laptop to test out Linux because of my current one died. Although to be accurate the Ssd died and before that the Hdd so with that in mind I just didn't bother to replace the Ssd again until I get the new laptop and buy a new one just for my brother.
So as for Wine I've heard a lot of problems with it but at that point I'm willing to try till I'll get my laptop cause again Windows 11 just ain't it even with the Debloater tool.
As for other stuff I'm just happy to find a video where they made Photoshop work Idk how my "Alternate copy" of Photoshop will work but if it does then 85% I'm already sold on going Linux full time.
Because I'll assume Blender or Source film maker will just work fine if not then I'll find alternatives, I'm just still on my training stage in terms of creativity stuff like Trying to attempt to make my own Vtuber Model, Drawing in general, heck even in Editing I've been using Kinemaster on the phone so me learning Davinci is a huge advantage for me than people who's used to Adobe Premier. Again the only problem being photoshop because of how I'm so used to that program but anyways because that's covered I'm mostly set.
Again my only gripe is literally The games as I've checked in the protonDB The ones I have on steam like fighting games or my most important one being 100% Orange Juice or other ones like DMC, Uktrakill, and the likes are pretty safe, as for the rhythm games like Muse dash, A dance of fire and Ice, osu, etc. are good to go the only concern I literally have is again Visual Novels.
Some of them having problems from what I've seen on the few I've searched on ProtonDB but has long as I can buy them in the future then it's set for some. But the part that sucked the most is that mine for the most part isn't on steam, it's old games or games that aren't allowed from steam one way or another and so you can see why I'm at a pickle here in my Visual Novel Dilemma.
Some of them are old and I had to work some work arounds to make sure it functions plus as most half of them at least are expensive for now that I'll buy them in the future so you can already see where my predicament is.
Same case with some RPG maker games although in that regard I still haven't tried to find ones I'll play. So yeah I guess dual booting should suffice unless Microsoft does some stupid bs while testing it out then I'll just do an Virtual Machine instead which is I hope in the future you can do an tutorial.
Other than that tho thanks for the profile compliment yours too is very nice as well reminds me of those still pictures of stop motion which has its unique look and as an sidenote I will not change this profile ever this will be it till the end of time lelz.
But yeah sorry for the long walls of text, keep up the great work, do it at your own pace and ofc have fun while doing cause your videos are helpful in this age where Microsoft is doing stupid bs just to make their consumers mad. If they still won't pull their sht together then I'm ready to sacrifice my VNs just to have an OS that's to my taste. So have a nice day and again thank you very much.
@@icession4872 Always here to help! I hope your journey goes smoothly.
Apparently some pirated versions of photoshop are downloadable and completely run fine on Linux, but im seeing conflicting answers, so you might wanna look into that!
If the corporate world wouldn't be completely brainless, Linux would be the default.
Think about it, once companies start adapting it, more software makers would start supporting it, and more people would see that Linux is not the pain that it was to use 20 years ago.
It even makes sense from a corporate viewpoint; less spying on potentially sensitive data, A LOT less in licensing costs, better performance - meaning less hardware is required, what's not to love?
doubt that a lot or companies will switch to linux even with all bullshit Microsoft doing. It requires first, to find well, what distro to use, to make sure that entire company's ecosystem can work on it. second, it requires finding software, especially alternatives (like libreoffic for microsoftoffice), and the entire problem of using alternatives is that they usually dont have needed tools or have completely different UI, which requires re-learning. also never forget about tons of software which simply not exists in any form on linux (like CAD software)

"Linux is already improving"
Nice joke :D
Well what's wrong with that statement? I'd like for you to tell me how Linux hasn't improved in the last 10 years.
>70% of games now compatible with Steam Proton, all DEs still get massive updates, and huge milestones like KDE receiving HDR support has come to pass.
Huge strides in the consumer desktop space in the realm of Linux reaching >5% market share, as it is becoming easier and more user-friendly. More popularity means more applications being made for Linux which means more popularity - you get the picture.
Linux is only getting easier, more accessible, more compatible, and more popular.
Windows has stagnated since vista, and every newer version of Windows has failed to innovate. Microsoft is more attentive towards using their paying customers as advertising donkeys, using Windows as that advertising machine, riding the AI bandwagon, and re-releasing the same version of Windows over and over again so those who are none the wiser can spend their hard-earned cash on a sham.
To this day, Windows is completely unacceptable stability-wise. There is no wonder why Linux is the most popular OS for servers, as Linux has never spontaneously combusted the way Windows has.
The Linux trajectory as far as I'm concerned has seen nothing but an upward curve. That curve may be slow, but it has never faltered.
@@_Learnix I'm aware of that, don't get me wrong. But when it comes to productivity like music composition, advance editing, and everything that I do, Linux really lacks within the department, especially when it comes to having to either utilize Pipewire, JACK or ASLA. I'd love to see Linux go there to the point where I'd fully replace Windows, but *_we're not there yet._*
@@NathanDarkson984 And that's why it needs support. It is contingent on support in order to gain more contributors and more software and more compatibility.
This also has less to do with Linux and more to do with corporate software giants like Adobe completely ignoring Linux as a viable userbase. If more people use Linux, the companies will see numbers, and those numbers mean compatibility!
It really isn't a pipedream, results have been shown before, and more to come is not a stretch.
@@_Learnix That is true, though I work with old versions of Adobe software, such as CS6 or CC 2019. I highly doubt they would ever want to port something as stable as those two versions over to Linux, and even if they did, they'd only offer basic Ubuntu support, which means for Arch or Fedora, it'd have to be maintained by someone else.
As with music production, I use REAPER +
FL Studio 21 and Reason 11.39, with some VSTs from Kontakt, to Fabfilter, to Waves Audio, and all of the such for most of music production + sound engineering. I'd love to see Linux take off, and I found myself quite accustomed to DEs like XFCE or KDE Plasma, especially falling in love with the latter as how much it reminds me of Windows. But again, unless if I were to do serious stuff for production, Linux isn't really the best viable option for me, at least for now. I would LOVE to see Linux becoming mainstream for consumers and big corporations seeing it as a massive profit, but...alas, we'd have to wait for a whole new millennia for that.
@@_Learnix Yeah. Like I mainly use Windows for everything that I do, production wise. I could do the same thing with Linux, but with the apps I use from Adobe, to VSTs I use for music production (Native Instruments, Fabfilter, Waves, Joey Sturgis, etc.,), I just hardly ever use Linux for anything else except for personal stuff. So unless if Linux has the same stuff that Windows has in terms of app support and usability, I'd switch within a heartbeat, but alas...here we are.

Proton works with games that don't have anticheat
I'm in the same boat. While Proton is constantly getting better, we're still a long way away from having enough market share for big publishers to bother supporting Linux, especially when it comes to anti-cheat. We can try to push the needle by supporting games with native Linux support, or at least good Proton compatibility, and avoiding those with invasive kernel-level anti-cheat systems. ProtonDB is a great resource for checking which games will work well on your system before you buy! And in the meantime, you can use Win11Debloat (Mental Outlaw has a video on it) to at least reduce the amount of bloat and spyware you have to deal with while you're on the dark side.
As far as I can tell, the two options you have for running software not immediately supported on Linux is with WINE or Proton (I'm still researching this all myself).
specify what games you want working and either the answer is yay or nay, almost always due to anticheat because every major games RUNS on linux just most of them have the option disabled, like fortnite can technically run on linux but the anti-cheat blocks you from playing
If you mainly play single player games you dont really need Windows at all as others have said Proton is great

I think, the only real difference now is that more and more of the tech community have finally had enough of the Microsoft BS and are now desperate enough to try Linux or anything that is not Windows. It used to be that many in the tech community would rage and complain about Microsoft's latest problem, but they'd keep using Windows. Now that Linux has very good compatibility with games, (which was a hold out for a lot of people) and now that many applications are now web based instead of needing to install something, the tech community know that the OS matters a lot less to get tasks done.
Sure there are still hold outs with some hardware/software, but more alternatives exist now and many tasks that used to be very difficult to do on Linux are now easier than ever to get done. I think the Windows Bubble is finally starting to deflate for the tech community as a whole now. Microsoft has finally succeeded in making the vast majority of them genuine hate them. Developers that used to code on Windows now want to write code on Linux, and when you lose the developers the applications will slowly move too. After the applications finish moving to alternatives, get ported, get working in WINE, etc., it won't be long before more commercial companies like Valve start making more Linux products targeting consumers directly.
We're still transitioning, but I have a feeling that by 2030, things are going to look much more different. This isn't a case of "just keep Windows around" or "I need Windows to do XYZ" anymore. Things are changing now because Microsoft has finally angered too many people.
I am converting my friends, they will never go back, even the friend who knows nothing about computers is willing to switch.
