Appreciate this correction video. Also glad to see you've been using Pop OS, I feel like its been underrated by a lot of Linux channels recently because it's just been on the LTS release of Ubuntu (even though it's still actively updated, more so than even Ubuntu is). Always had the best experience with Pop, much more so than actual Ubuntu lol.
Of course! Gotta own up to my mistakes! 😁 Yeah, I’ve always loved using Pop. I just find it to be a really nice experience! Although, I have been considering giving a Red Hat Linux-Based Distro a shot, like Nobara or Bazzite.
@@MKKomputing I hope you did your research before even considering Bazzite. It's an immutable distro, changing some things or installing some software ranges from unnecessary complex to nearly impossible. Fedora is already the middle ground between bleeding edge and conservative, having debian and arch on the opposite sides of the spectrum.
Same camp for me! I've looked into and tried different distros within a Ventoy flashdrive, but my favorite so far has been Pop. I just wanted an escape from everything that reminds me of Windows at first, and this was it. I'm open to using Mint or even trying an Arch-based distro like Garuda, now that I feel like I have a more-or-less viable alternative to Windows 11. Unfortunately, I'll likely avoid everything KDE related, as Windows 11 kind of poisoned that well for me.
@@MKKomputing Consider Fedora 40 - Nobara is okay but with delayed updates run by one guy, and Bazzite is something known as Immutable, which just like the OS on the Steam Deck, means it has a locked down system filesystem. I'm not saying no to either but I think with Bazzite especially it helps to look up what Immutable or Atomic desktops/distros means and whether or not you want to give that a shot.
Btw in regards to the DaVinci issue, you can use ``ln -s "full path to drive" "full path to the video folder DaVinci sees"``, this will make a soft link to the drive allowing you to "escape" that folder, soft links don't work the same as windows, and programs can't actually tell the difference between that and a folder Alternatively, you could also simply mount the drive into that folder instead, but that's more complicated and can be inconvenient for using with other programs I think there are ways to do soft links in the file manager, but I'm sorry to say I don't personally use them too often for things like that so I wouldn't know, but if you figured it out then a soft link from a file manager will be the same as the command I gave
@@MKKomputing Had a terrible issue where steam didn't have access to my new drive. Ended up having to mount the drive permanently using linux mint 'disks' app. I know it's not the same issue that you're dealing with, but something to keep in mind with linux, sometimes there's some strange permission rules that require you to give access to folders using the chown command.
@ulroxvladtepes4023 Yeah, definitely had a couple issues like that in the past. One of the things that made me a little nervous when switching. So far, I haven’t had to deal with that though! 😁
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Huh, I actually didn’t know that! That’s pretty interesting! Thanks! 😁 Yeah, Linux is used in a lot of different places that people don’t realize. Android is built on the Linux Kernel and MacOS is built off Unix, which is the same operating system that inspired Linux. Not exactly the same as being built on Linux, I know, but they work very similar!
Yeah, no... That USED to be the case like +20 years ago when Linus was developing the first versions. Today it would be like 0,01% of that old GNU code left in the kernel, everything has been rewritten. The GNU folks really WANT that to be true though. xD GNU is a cool project, but it has no real work case. Look at canoebo... ehm, I mean GNU boot for example. xD (please do not get angry with me if you have some kind of relation to GNU, I am teasing here)
If a streaming service is so anti-consumer that it forces you to use certain operating systems, bowsers etc., just pirate the content. It is way easier and a lot more comfortable this way.
You, know, it didn’t even register to me that that’s what was being displayed. 😂 To be completely honest with you, I just copied and pasted the information over from Neofetch to make it easy. Guess I didn’t catch that it was also displaying the amount of ram I was using at the time instead of just how much I had installed. I’ll fix it right now. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
Great video, but pretty sure most games these days run EOS EAC and the Kamu version of EAC (the older one) worked on Linux also. Apex Legends used that for long time before switching to EOS one. One thing to note. If you are recording Gameplay videos with OBS and you are using X11 session instead of Wayland session. Then use the window capture (and select the game) feature instead of fullscreen. Gives much better performance on GPU demanding games.
The sources I found talking about it were a couple years old, so makes sense that the information might have been a little out of date, with how quickly Linux is changing. Gotcha! I gotta remember that window capture is a thing. 😂
Such an underrated channel, i really enjoy your videos and it's so fun listening to you using linux while i'm here doing the same thing (challenge) as you. you gotta keep this up, dude.
@@MKKomputing it's pretty good! i considered using it as my main OS on my laptop. it's surprisingly great and it's been the laptop i use for programming
@@MKKomputingwhat does the "add new folder" button in the bottom left do? I don't use DaVinci so I'm not sure, but I think they mean that that button might add a location in the list?
I just remembered Windows has .appx and .msix packages that work pretty much the same way as .deb on your system. That's not to say anyone actually uses these formats, but Microsoft did make an attempt to do something similar. Windows also has package managers - winget comes preinstalled as a backend for the microsoft store app - but once again, it's barely used.
Yeah, winget is really good, however on some older windows 10 machines winget does not come preinstalled, You can find several winget install scripts online to fix that problem. The reason why it never took off is because windows users are not prone to using the command line to do anything. Powershell is actually an incredible well made CLI for windows, where you can do just about as much as in bash. It's created in the image of bash and unix, for it professionals who needed to have access to a proper command line. I might be annoyed with a lot of things microsoft has done, but powershell really is something else. Powershell is also available on linux. As an IT supporter, if I make a script for someone in a cli, I've noticed noone will ever use it in my company. That's windows users for you. However if you put in the extra effort and create a graphical user interface, then people will start to use it. On top of that, linux has a much better architecture and support for its command line for installing packages through the command line. You can find so many fun and interesting things that way. You really can't do the same on windows, because the amount of 'cool things' on there is very limited, as most users just prefer to use a gui. It's a big difference in mentality, but I'd argue that linux has come a very long way in the creation of user friendly gui's nowadays. You 'mostly' don't need to use the cli. There's oftentimes some other way around problems, but you will have an easier time if you learn how to use the cli. For instance, I installed linux mint on my mothers laptop, and she pretty much just used the thing for accessing the internet and reading mails / some document editing. That's another thing linux does very well, reviving old hardware. You can save a lot of money by putting linux on a dying computer, because linux is more respectful of your computers resources. So there's a ton of value in knowing linux that way too.
Iirc in the early days of proton it was available only on steam beta, as well as the option to run non-steam games through proton later on, so that's probably where "enable beta' advice comes from. But it's been a while, so it's just outdated advice
You should also talk about Gufw or Ufw since that is your firewall normally people don't know that its automatically off till you either 1 download it and turn it on or its comes with the OS but still have to turn it on.
Confusing deb as exe's is not fully your fault. Apps should install with an MSI package. Most exe's used to have a MSI file inside the exe, or had it side by side. Most modern apps install themselves manually, so they use pure exe files.
About the DaVinci file location thingy, have you tried making a symlink from your second drive to the Videos folder? Something like ln -s /path/to/external/drive /home/yourUsername/Videos/randomFolderName ? I know absolutely 0 about DaVinci and video creation in general so idk if this will actually work, but it's worth a try maybe.
I can definitely try. I don’t think it’ll let me browse still, but I can try to copy and paste the file directory over and see if it accepts it. I tried copying my External HDD’s directory over to DaVinci before, but it errored and said I needed to choose a file location within the system. Maybe a symlink will trick it into accepting the file path.
Oh! Sorry, that’s not what I meant. When I said that the information I was giving was only for Easy Anti-cheat, I was regarding my explanation on the EOS and Non-EOS versions of Easy Anti-Cheat. BatllEye 100% has opt-in Linux compatibility. I saw that in the Steam release notes on it, that I have linked in the description. I probably could have been more clear about that, though. Thank you for letting me know regardless!
Hahaha dude, you are also a bit crazy. Starting with Linux, directly into Windows games and Davinci resolve, both notorious for not working. You might want to learn a bit about sandboxing, running stuff through Bottles or the Davinci Resolve Flatpak script. This gives extra security as all that proprietary software cannot access your system. I mean, Linux Distros are open source for a reason. Putting Google Chrome, Steam, Davinci resolve on them may work, but you lose like all the benefits of trust
We all go a little mad sometimes. 🤷 I actually do know a bit about sandboxing, I am currently running Notepad++ and I got a photo editing software called “Affinity Photo” to run through bottles! 😁 I know that proprietary software like Chrome and Steam kinda ruin the whole openness of Linux, but they’re both software that I’ve grown accustomed to using. I’ve used Chrome FOREVER and all my PC games are on Steam and it’s what I used to play with my friends. I don’t want to get rid of them. Although m, I have been toying with the idea of making a video on Chrome alternatives soon, as I actually wouldn’t mind switching off that. 😁
For DaVinci you could probably mount your hard drive inside your home folder with something like fusermount, but I'm not sure, never had to use davinci
Yeah, there’s a couple things that people have been suggesting to get it working. I’ve yet to try to get it working, but I’ll add this to the list of things to try! Hopefully, it works!
Fun fact, dot file recognition, the way that's done in Windows, isn't what's always used. In Linux, we have this thing called magic. It's basically a couple of bytes or certain piece of text at the beginning of the file that says that this is a Debian file or a zip file.
Welllllllllll you were half correct. A deb file is basically a setup dot exe or MSI file, and the actual program is an ELF executable file with some arbitrary extension or none at all, while on Windows it's a PE executable file with some arbitrary extension (most commonly exe and msi). Shell scripts (batch / ps1 on Windows, most commonly dot sh on Linux) are interpreted by their respective interpreter (cmd / powershell on Windows, bash / zsh / whatever else there is on Linux) but are marked as executables themselves on both OSes, even though technically they are not executable in the sense of an ELF or PE executable. The latter instruct the OS to "run me", while shell scripts instruct the OS to "run interpreter xyz to run me". Edit: Come to think of it more... a deb file is much more of an archive rather than anything else. A deb is not executable, it needs to be installed via dpkg. A setup exe or MSI file is itself a PE file. Major difference.
Exactly why I made this video explaining my mistake! 😁 I just didn’t go as in-depth because I wanted to correct my specific mistake of calling it a .exe equivalent and that it was specifically for Debian.
Thinking about trying one out soon! I want to keep using only Linux after the challenge, but I think I’ll switch to a rolling-release like an Arch or Red Hat Linux based distro. Maybe I’ll make a video comparing the two and my decision in which one to use. 🤔
@@MKKomputing "Red Hat Linux" isn't a thing, there's Fedora Linux - the distribution funded by Red Hat - and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a commercial distro you can't even download for free Also if you want a distro that's basically Arch with a graphical installer, try EndeavourOS
Regarding kernel level anti-cheat I would even add that there are two different kinds of implementations. One of them checks your drivers and either doesn't let you play the game if something is not known to the anti-cheat software or it bans you some time after playing with these. However Vanguard from Riot Games goes a step further. It is required to be running from start of the boot process and it will simply stop all your drivers that aren't known as harmless to the anti-cheat software. That may also prevent you from using some arbitrary driver from a printer or some input device in worst case. Because it actively messes with your system. So yeah, definitely be cautious with kernel level anti-cheat software.
I've been using Linux Mint for months on an old laptop I've got laying around and i have made the switch to Linux for over 2 weeks now on my main PC. Since then, i haven't booted into Windows at all and i will be deleting that partition to use the whole NVME SSD for Linux.
I’m actually thinking I’ll wait for a larger milestone before making the next subscriber thank you video. Some people have pointed out that it’s a little ridiculous that my channel has more thank you videos than ACTUAL content right now, and I think they’re right.
Just found your channel and just moved to linux a few months ago. I love listening to you and it's super refreshing to have a youtuber who corrects something in a new video. Keep it up! Also have a nice vacation. :D
Thank you!!! Glad you’re enjoying the content! And of course! If I make a mistake, I have to take accountability for it. And if I was confident enough to make that mistake publicly, taking accountability should be just as public!
Did you install Davinci via flatpak or snap? I was testing Linux last weekend and found that a number of pop_os store apps used them. For steam this meant not seeing other drives. For chrome & vivaldi this manifested in not remembering my last save locations for folders and always starting in a temp folder. (Though installed from deb from their wepages seemed to bypass this issue) Maybe your DaVinci is doing something similar?
Absolutely! I actually just got a program running on bottles I couldn’t get running before. Super useful! Yeah, I’m definitely finding that out. There’s still some programs I tried getting running and they just didn’t work at all. Thanks for subscribing! Glad to have you!
@@MKKomputing I can vouch for Fedora. Fedora is very stable and I consider it a better Ubuntu. I would try Arch at least once, although I prefer Void as my rolling release distro. It just feels better to use for me.
@@monki_sudo Yes i do have a time to learn Linux, shell and UNIX command in general but i also have a life outside of my hobby That's why Arch is just so perfectly match for my needs
one thing to note is that it is more rare for a non-kernel level anticheat to be used, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattleEYE, Vanguard, Ricochet, they are all kernel level, battleEYE and EAC work on linux because they made a user level Linux binary that steam launches when running through proton the only Anti-cheats (that i can think of) that are user level are Roblox's anticheat, VAC, and Overwatch 2's OW2 is an awful game now but they do have by far the best user level anticheat and i respect them for it, its why OW can run with Wine only, also there is 1 guy at blizzard who makes sure that they don't break wine support
@@MKKomputing it is, but it's even worse. Roblox anticheat has anti VM checks ( direct application ), and their website application requires a GPU, so you need to set up passthrough on a VM.
I’ll have a video about my overall experience at the end of the challenge, but I don’t mind saying that overall it’s been pretty great! And I don’t think I’ll be switching back to Windows after the month is up!
Pop os is good but you couldv made it easier for by using nobara which is based of fedora and its made for gaming and it has many more features that i could list here but i would be here for a hour
I actually am thinking of switching to it! I want to keep using Linux after the challenge and I was thinking of using a Fedora based distro like Nobara. 😁
@@MKKomputing nice its crazy how fast reply was since im still warching the vidio right now since the vidio of your challange got recommended to me. But also u forgot to mention Lutris and bottels which are both pretty great software. Lutris is kind of a launcher made for gaming its better to see it for your self it has lots of features. And bottels can also be used to run games but also installing windows apps
@GrimCheatingGuy Actually, I mention Lutris on my video on Gaming on Linux and bottles in my video on content creation on Linux. This was just a video to correct some stuff I got wrong and bring up stuff I forgot to mention. 😁
@@MKKomputing also the reason i forgot to mention i dont really know hoe much of a impact it has i have really low hardware and not enough time to test but Nobara is comes pre installed with a custom kernel im not sure what the kernel is since when i check the name dosnet make it clear but also try using the zen kernel which has applied patches for gaming. Also if u didnt i just like to mention it but if u switch to nobara u can try hyprland which is a window tiling manager im currently using it on arch and it feels pretty great so far it takes time to customize but there are community configs and if u do it yourself it can look pretty amazing
I noticed You're using Pop os now. Looks like the Distro Hopping fever is getting to you eh? Also on the first point, yeah .deb/rpm/whateverelse is not like .exe I mean you can't even Open them as an app like you can an exe, I just want to add though if you're planning on trying a distro that uses .rpm like fedora or opensuse like me, there's a nifty (but barbaric) terminal app you can use called Alien, what it does is basically turns .deb files into .rpm files and vice versa, though only the apps, your distro still needs to have the dependency (or you can also just use alien on those dependency but I don't recommend this) this is how I got apps like Free Download Manager to work on Opensuse.
Oh cool! I’ll keep that in mind! I’m actually thinking of switching to a Fedora-based distro after the challenge. Thank you! And actually, this whole challenge has been done on Pop! 😁
@@MKKomputing Yeah I must've not be paying attention to the distro in the vid or just forgot, if anything that's a testament to how much I enjoy the vid, like I'm too focused in the content I didn't even notice the distro.

Maybe a symlink will trick it into accepting the file path.
pretty sure you can just ctrl+shift+alt and drag the folder to create a symlink also .. so dont even need to use command line.
@xpander69 Oh, awesome! I’ll try that!
Nice video man, nice to see that you keep learning. Computers are fascinating.
Thank you! Aren’t they???
Linux from scratch or gentoo video when???
I plan to make one sometime in the future! 😁
7:32 slight correction here, BatllEye anticheat also has opt-in linux compatability.
Oh! Sorry, that’s not what I meant. When I said that the information I was giving was only for Easy Anti-cheat, I was regarding my explanation on the EOS and Non-EOS versions of Easy Anti-Cheat. BatllEye 100% has opt-in Linux compatibility. I saw that in the Steam release notes on it, that I have linked in the description. I probably could have been more clear about that, though. Thank you for letting me know regardless!
Hahaha dude, you are also a bit crazy.
Starting with Linux, directly into Windows games and Davinci resolve, both notorious for not working.
You might want to learn a bit about sandboxing, running stuff through Bottles or the Davinci Resolve Flatpak script.
This gives extra security as all that proprietary software cannot access your system.
I mean, Linux Distros are open source for a reason. Putting Google Chrome, Steam, Davinci resolve on them may work, but you lose like all the benefits of trust
We all go a little mad sometimes. 🤷 I actually do know a bit about sandboxing, I am currently running Notepad++ and I got a photo editing software called “Affinity Photo” to run through bottles! 😁 I know that proprietary software like Chrome and Steam kinda ruin the whole openness of Linux, but they’re both software that I’ve grown accustomed to using. I’ve used Chrome FOREVER and all my PC games are on Steam and it’s what I used to play with my friends. I don’t want to get rid of them. Although m, I have been toying with the idea of making a video on Chrome alternatives soon, as I actually wouldn’t mind switching off that. 😁
Genuine recommendation now endeavour os
Thank you! I’ll look into it!
For DaVinci you could probably mount your hard drive inside your home folder with something like fusermount, but I'm not sure, never had to use davinci
Yeah, there’s a couple things that people have been suggesting to get it working. I’ve yet to try to get it working, but I’ll add this to the list of things to try! Hopefully, it works!
Making mistakes is a key part of learning anything! Glad you're taking the leap, welcome to Linux!
Thank you! I agree completely!
2:36: 👍
Your talk makes sense, brother. Don't let us down keep making good content. Best of luck.
Will do! 🫡 Thanks!
Setting the steam client to beta, is usually what gets recommended if stable gets borked.
Oh really? That’s good to know! Thanks!
You're already past 700, congrats :D
Thank you!!!
Excellent response video. I like how helpful the linux community is. Thanks for sharing this. :)
Thank you!! Yeah! Everyone is so ready to help; it’s great!!!
Fun fact, dot file recognition, the way that's done in Windows, isn't what's always used. In Linux, we have this thing called magic. It's basically a couple of bytes or certain piece of text at the beginning of the file that says that this is a Debian file or a zip file.
Yeah, Linux’s way of doing it sounds like the MUCH better system. 😂
@@MKKomputing except when open office won't print on Tuesdays ua-cam.com/video/-6fPfwixNLk/v-deo.html
It can lead to some funny bugs though, like the classic "can't print on Tuesday" bug (Brodie has a good vid on it).
Welllllllllll you were half correct. A deb file is basically a setup dot exe or MSI file, and the actual program is an ELF executable file with some arbitrary extension or none at all, while on Windows it's a PE executable file with some arbitrary extension (most commonly exe and msi). Shell scripts (batch / ps1 on Windows, most commonly dot sh on Linux) are interpreted by their respective interpreter (cmd / powershell on Windows, bash / zsh / whatever else there is on Linux) but are marked as executables themselves on both OSes, even though technically they are not executable in the sense of an ELF or PE executable. The latter instruct the OS to "run me", while shell scripts instruct the OS to "run interpreter xyz to run me".
Edit: Come to think of it more... a deb file is much more of an archive rather than anything else. A deb is not executable, it needs to be installed via dpkg. A setup exe or MSI file is itself a PE file. Major difference.
Exactly why I made this video explaining my mistake! 😁 I just didn’t go as in-depth because I wanted to correct my specific mistake of calling it a .exe equivalent and that it was specifically for Debian.
@@MKKomputing no worries!
I remember the super tux kart comment that someone made, which made me laugh😂. Cool you added to this video!
I'm glad someone commented about it! It's actually a pretty fun little game!
a 4 monitor setup is actually kinda based
I try. 😎
Are you going to switch to Linux full time from now on
I’m thinking that I will. 😁
keep up the good work bro, we need more normal people in the linux youtube scene lol!
😂 Thank you!! Will do!
Arch linux video when?
Thinking about trying one out soon! I want to keep using only Linux after the challenge, but I think I’ll switch to a rolling-release like an Arch or Red Hat Linux based distro. Maybe I’ll make a video comparing the two and my decision in which one to use. 🤔
@@MKKomputing okay
@@MKKomputing "Red Hat Linux" isn't a thing, there's Fedora Linux - the distribution funded by Red Hat - and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a commercial distro you can't even download for free
Also if you want a distro that's basically Arch with a graphical installer, try EndeavourOS
You can just say D-package no need to pronounce every single letter.
Gotcha! Thanks!
@@MKKomputing make sure people have proper context when you're using that
Will do!
+1 subscriber for being a Linux user
Glad to have you!
Regarding kernel level anti-cheat I would even add that there are two different kinds of implementations. One of them checks your drivers and either doesn't let you play the game if something is not known to the anti-cheat software or it bans you some time after playing with these.
However Vanguard from Riot Games goes a step further. It is required to be running from start of the boot process and it will simply stop all your drivers that aren't known as harmless to the anti-cheat software. That may also prevent you from using some arbitrary driver from a printer or some input device in worst case. Because it actively messes with your system.
So yeah, definitely be cautious with kernel level anti-cheat software.
Oof! Yeah, DEFINITELY something to keep in mind!! Thank you for informing!
peacock only works in Firefox on Linux
Oh! I haven’t tried it Firefox, I’ll give that a shot! Thanks!
Nice video as always
Thank you!!!
We getting 700 next 🎉🎉🎉
I hope so!!!
@@MKKomputing for sure! I’m gonna keep pushing it I feel like 10,000 by end of the month
69th comment, nice
Haha, nice. 😏
I've been using Linux Mint for months on an old laptop I've got laying around and i have made the switch to Linux for over 2 weeks now on my main PC.
Since then, i haven't booted into Windows at all and i will be deleting that partition to use the whole NVME SSD for Linux.
Nice!!! With how well this challenge is going, I’m probably going to be doing the same thing pretty soon! 😁
@@MKKomputing Oh Yeah man, it shouldn't be difficult to completely forget about Windows 😋 Keep up the amazing work.
600 special when?
I’m actually thinking I’ll wait for a larger milestone before making the next subscriber thank you video. Some people have pointed out that it’s a little ridiculous that my channel has more thank you videos than ACTUAL content right now, and I think they’re right.
Just found your channel and just moved to linux a few months ago. I love listening to you and it's super refreshing to have a youtuber who corrects something in a new video.
Keep it up! Also have a nice vacation. :D
Thank you!!! Glad you’re enjoying the content! And of course! If I make a mistake, I have to take accountability for it. And if I was confident enough to make that mistake publicly, taking accountability should be just as public!
Is your davinci install somehow sandboxed with Flathub firejail, seccomp or something?
Did you install Davinci via flatpak or snap? I was testing Linux last weekend and found that a number of pop_os store apps used them. For steam this meant not seeing other drives. For chrome & vivaldi this manifested in not remembering my last save locations for folders and always starting in a temp folder. (Though installed from deb from their wepages seemed to bypass this issue) Maybe your DaVinci is doing something similar?
you are a dork, but so am i. I like you. More please.
I wear my dork badge with pride, and I’m working to provide more! 🫡
This was a great video. Good research, and good presentation
Thank you!!
new sub btw bootles is very good for running windows apps not all work keep that in mind
Absolutely! I actually just got a program running on bottles I couldn’t get running before. Super useful! Yeah, I’m definitely finding that out. There’s still some programs I tried getting running and they just didn’t work at all. Thanks for subscribing! Glad to have you!
Every Debian/Ubuntu based user, will eventually find their way into Arch
It's just takes a bit of time and patience
I actually have been looking at Arch and Fedora based distros to give a try. 😂
@@MKKomputing I can vouch for Fedora. Fedora is very stable and I consider it a better Ubuntu. I would try Arch at least once, although I prefer Void as my rolling release distro. It just feels better to use for me.
@@MKKomputingTry cachyOS, it is arch based os with a lot of optimization on it. I'm currently installing it right now😆
@earlchesterantonio1581 😂 I’ll definitely try it out!
@@monki_sudo
Yes i do have a time to learn Linux, shell and UNIX command in general
but i also have a life outside of my hobby
That's why Arch is just so perfectly match for my needs
one thing to note is that it is more rare for a non-kernel level anticheat to be used, Easy Anti-Cheat, BattleEYE, Vanguard, Ricochet, they are all kernel level, battleEYE and EAC work on linux because they made a user level Linux binary that steam launches when running through proton
the only Anti-cheats (that i can think of) that are user level are Roblox's anticheat, VAC, and Overwatch 2's
OW2 is an awful game now but they do have by far the best user level anticheat and i respect them for it, its why OW can run with Wine only, also there is 1 guy at blizzard who makes sure that they don't break wine support
Gotcha! I think I remember seeing the same thing when I did my research. Honestly, glad to know that it’s not a common practice.
Not roblox anymore, as they have removed complete Wine compatibility. Meaning that you NEED to use windows, as there is no workarounds.
@Sebastian-bo7vj Well that’s dumb!
@@MKKomputing it is, but it's even worse. Roblox anticheat has anti VM checks ( direct application ), and their website application requires a GPU, so you need to set up passthrough on a VM.
Really just looked at Linux and said “Fuck you in particular!”
Just use KDE
I’m thinking about it. 😁
Lest go, 600 subs
Hell yeah!!!
Great video by the way , we all make mistakes, without mistakes we wont learn new stuff
All the best for your Linux challenge
Exactly! 😁 Thank you!
For Davinci, you should be able to just create a symlink to the desired folder on your external HD.
Gotcha!! I’ll try that out! Thanks!
This is awesome
Thank you!
Need to give DaVinci file system permissions.
question for you overall how is your experience so far with linux or is that for a seperate video?
I’ll have a video about my overall experience at the end of the challenge, but I don’t mind saying that overall it’s been pretty great! And I don’t think I’ll be switching back to Windows after the month is up!
Pop os is good but you couldv made it easier for by using nobara which is based of fedora and its made for gaming and it has many more features that i could list here but i would be here for a hour
I actually am thinking of switching to it! I want to keep using Linux after the challenge and I was thinking of using a Fedora based distro like Nobara. 😁
@@MKKomputing nice its crazy how fast reply was since im still warching the vidio right now since the vidio of your challange got recommended to me. But also u forgot to mention Lutris and bottels which are both pretty great software. Lutris is kind of a launcher made for gaming its better to see it for your self it has lots of features. And bottels can also be used to run games but also installing windows apps
@GrimCheatingGuy Actually, I mention Lutris on my video on Gaming on Linux and bottles in my video on content creation on Linux. This was just a video to correct some stuff I got wrong and bring up stuff I forgot to mention. 😁
@@MKKomputing also the reason i forgot to mention i dont really know hoe much of a impact it has i have really low hardware and not enough time to test but Nobara is comes pre installed with a custom kernel im not sure what the kernel is since when i check the name dosnet make it clear but also try using the zen kernel which has applied patches for gaming. Also if u didnt i just like to mention it but if u switch to nobara u can try hyprland which is a window tiling manager im currently using it on arch and it feels pretty great so far it takes time to customize but there are community configs and if u do it yourself it can look pretty amazing
Sweet! I’ll look into it! Thank you!
1 comment to 600 subs. who will it be???
Allredy 623. Or even more in a little bit
@Yarin-uk1xk Man, we’re growing so fast!!
I noticed You're using Pop os now. Looks like the Distro Hopping fever is getting to you eh?
Also on the first point, yeah .deb/rpm/whateverelse is not like .exe I mean you can't even Open them as an app like you can an exe, I just want to add though if you're planning on trying a distro that uses .rpm like fedora or opensuse like me, there's a nifty (but barbaric) terminal app you can use called Alien, what it does is basically turns .deb files into .rpm files and vice versa, though only the apps, your distro still needs to have the dependency (or you can also just use alien on those dependency but I don't recommend this) this is how I got apps like Free Download Manager to work on Opensuse.
Oh cool! I’ll keep that in mind! I’m actually thinking of switching to a Fedora-based distro after the challenge. Thank you! And actually, this whole challenge has been done on Pop! 😁
@@MKKomputing Huh? Must've missed that lol, could've sworn you were on mint before.
@Ghost_Alpha_One Nope! I do run Mint on the iMac I have in the background though!
@@MKKomputing Yeah I must've not be paying attention to the distro in the vid or just forgot, if anything that's a testament to how much I enjoy the vid, like I'm too focused in the content I didn't even notice the distro.
@Ghost_Alpha_One Aw, I appreciate that!!
On your way to 1K. Have one from me too
Thank you!!! We’re growing like crazy! It’s amazing!!!
