Linux vs Windows
Вставка

- In this video we explore the histories and key differences between Windows and Linux, starting with Windows’ development in 1983 and its 1985 debut, and Linux’s creation in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. We discuss Windows' dominance on 87% of desktops compared to Linux's 2%, and the defining distinction between their source codes-Windows’ closed-source model versus Linux’s open-source nature.
We dive into security, examining why Windows is a frequent hacker target and how Linux’s robust precautions, like password-protected installations, offer an edge. We also compare system requirements, user-friendliness, and performance, showing how Linux can optimize resources on older hardware while Windows shines in accessibility and compatibility. - Розваги
0:43 Linux is 4.3% of desktops and widows is 73.4%
I got my first Windows PC in 1993, with 3.1. I've used 95, 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. I'm much happier with Linux Mint, LMDE, MX Linux, and Garuda than I've ever been with Windows. But many people will never give it a fair try.
2:32 Windows 10 minimum RAM requirements - 2GB 3:27 RAM consumption on iddle - 4 GB...
Windows 10 requires at least 2 GB of RAM for installation, but the system itself uses 2-3 GB due to background services, interface, and caching. Additional programs and drivers increase memory usage to 4 GB.
@@Intriguing_Considerations You cannot give Windows enough RAM lol
Linux sweet spot is 8gb. More than that you waste your money.
there are a lot of errors in this video, primarily the ease of use. it seems as you completely swapped places between windows and linux, as linux distros like ubuntu are actually easier to use for somebody that didin't used computer before. linux isn't harder, but just different. second thing is that linux is not an operating system, it's just a kernel, you should stick to one distro like ubuntu, fedora or opensuse while doing this video. The cherry on top is extremely outdated information, this video feels like it was made in 2017 and just published now
I don't agree with you bro
@@Intriguing_Considerations How can you disagree with an objective fact? Assuming you are just a general user who wants to use a computer for checking emails, editing documents and browsing the web, distros like Ubuntu and Mint come pre-packaged with software for those purposes (firefox, libreoffice, thunderbird) in an installer that is not only quicker but simpler than Windows due to the fact that they lack the 7+ telemetry options (I counted this manually a few months ago while installing Windows 11) that you're forced to enable/disable before you even get to use the system. Using the system is easier too as Ubuntu/Mint come with a software manager app that installs apps AND dependencies with literally two clicks, compared to Windows where you have to click on multiple links online, install an installer, find the installer in the Downloads folder, read and accept Terms and Conditions, and it even opens seperate installers for any dependencies like .NET, Visual C++ or DirectX complicating it further (or you can use the completely and utterly broken Microsoft Store which is littered with shovelware and mobile apps). Also Linux literally is the kernel. GNU (or GNU/Linux as a whole) is the operating system.
Not to mention how if you genuinely do need help with troubleshooting, the Linux Mint forums are infinitely more helpful than the Windows forums, as they offer genuine advice that is simple to follow and actually fixes the root issue (surprise surprise, the open source OS is easily fixable) as opposed to the Windows forums where I'm pretty sure Microsoft genuinely uses bots that repeat the same, obvious and ineffective advice such as "restart ur pc lol" or "update drivers lol"
Let's start with the fact that Windows is the most popular operating system for computers in the world. I also disagree that linux is not an operating system. for a person who uses a computer for the first time, maybe linux will be easier and more convenient, but for a person who has used windows for some time, it will be quite difficult, because there are many differences between these systems. for the average user who wants to use a computer to check email, edit documents, and browse the web, Linux is definitely a great option.
@@Intriguing_Considerations True, but that kinda just goes back to what the original commenter said: "linux isn't hard, just different to Windows" and "distros like Ubuntu might actually be easier than Windows for brand new computer users"
keep using Windows, it must be on your computer to make screenshots every minute and send them to where they need to be
Windows is more popular due to being installed on most PC's and laptops by default. Very few people will re-install Windows,and it is slower and more long winded than Linux to install.Most Linux distributions don't go out to make money from people,Microsoft on the other hand bleed customers dry if they can.I have used Windows,Mac,Linux and BSD and to be honest Linux is by far the easiest to install and use.
"Windows remains easier to install .."
Nope. It's because they don't have to install windows in the first place. Take linux mint for example. From a fresh ssd and usb bootable, just press next a bunch of time and you're good to go 👍🏻 . I found the installation time was way faster for linux mint compared to windows 7 and windows 10 (from experience using the same machine). And you don't even need to use the terminal with software manager and update manager available. My converted friend who used said machine still refuses to learn to use the terminal.
In practice, the only ones that are forced to use Windows are those who need proprietary software and gamers with the kernel anti cheat problem.
Pretty outdated view on Linux ease of use, and settings being buried. Aside from being wrong across the board, is also dependant on the desktop environment being used. Mentioning Linux low desktop use but ignoring it completely dominates in the server works speaks to it's security and reliability.
Why do I feel like I just watched an AI-generated video???
Videos are not created by AI, all videos are created manually by humans
if windows is on 80+%, how come all influencers use macbook pro?
MacOS tends to be more effective for creative tasks (which is why it dominates the music industry) and also influencers like spending outrageous amounts of money, so MacOS is perfect for them
@@TonyLaChica79 if regular clothes are on 80%, how come all influencers dress in balenciaga?
Mac beats all other OS's when it comes to graphics editing. Including Linux.
@crazysquirrel9425 And how exactly does it "beat all other OS's"? by running the apps like Photoshop or Blender, that are also available (and have absolutely the same UI) for any other OS?
