Win 10 is my last Windows. Already using a side setup to get familiar with a non-MS OS. Linux is the only way forward. Have not and will not be upgrading to Win 11 on my TPM compatible laptop. Great video from the Recommendeds. Followed.
@@WeekdayWeekend - I'm still using Win7 and Win10 on two laptops, no Win11. Honestly Win7 with Opatch free security patch works just as great as Win10 if not better for general usage and browsing.
@@roklaca3138 Who said that Linux is for programmesr or IT pros? Im not a programmer or anything and i suck at it. But i use linux and for me its a plug and play on linux then on windows, because i dont have to download nvida drivers manually amd cpu chipset drivers and windows updates takes so goddamn long. I have tried AtlasOS before and i didnt like it because it felt a worse experience blue screens, crashes on games (some), bit of flickering on the desktop. And even if i did get a problem or some kind (which i haven't) i would just use the internet or chatgpt on linux. I also did that on AtlasOS and couldn't find anything even on their discord.
4:52 "I keep seeing these ads for Linux... I mean, uhm, news about Microsoft" 😂 Linux is just a different way of working than Windows. If you can get your mindset in that line, you're gonna be fine. I swear by Linux Mint so at least in my opinion, you can't go wrong if you go that route.
@Maxume I just wish everyone in the Linux community was as helpful as all of you leaving your support in my comments. Thank you for watching and your kind words!
@@WeekdayWeekend No problem. BTW, for music creation, you should give Reaper a try. It supports Linux natively and its super cheap if you find you want to continue using it after the trial.
@@WeekdayWeekend Ideally, at least that's the linux philosophy : you need to learn it. That's the common thing. Any distribution can be used for that. Then you will develop preferences on distros based on what they include by default, the package manager and a few other details. That said, aaaaaaall that is still tied to professional software working on linux, as you can't expect people to switch to totally different software easily. Especially when that software doesn't have all the functionalities you need. For some, using wine or a virtual machine might do the trick, but a vm still requires to have windows in there... which defeats the goal here. And not everything will run on wine either. For others, Mac OS with alternative apps might do the trick (maybe the Affinity suite ?), if the goal is specifically to say goodbye to Windows. The last thing everyone needs is Linux users lying on how easy it is to switch when you need professional apps that simply don't work on Linux. They don't need them, so they were able to switch easily... and thus decide that it's the case for everyone. Linux isn't for everyone, and that's not something you can change easily : big companies would need to support it for that to happen... and they probably will never do that due to the low marketshare it represents. Oh, I'm saying all this from an archlinux using the sway window manager, btw.
@@cutemarxist if they’re planning on bailing anyways, may as well start determining what workarounds they do need to implement and get used to them while there’s still some runway.
I've been in the same situation, I'm still researching how and which softwares have linux support my main issue is some niche software are never going to have Linux support :/
That's the biggest issue. Some stuff works well with Wine but others don't, best to either use a virtual machine to test or use an old laptop or something you may have laying around
I've been building, repairing, and tinkering with computers for bout 50 years. I've been dabbling with Linux off and on for about 15 year, but especially in the last few years. I've had Fedora Workstation with Plasma as my daily driver for about 2 years now and LOVE it. I have CachyOS on another drive and I'm seriously considering switching to it. The key to Linux is to start by getting a good understanding of filesystems, drive labeling, and partitions as well as really understanding permissions.
Im working to move to linux as well. I finally got my pc upgraded with a new amd card to switch to linux but just have a couple issues im ironing out. I do plan on running arch. The only time i want to use windows is in vm that has a nividia gpu passed through to it (and the vm will stay 10 until its out of support). This is for the few programs that are not on linux and maybe the few games that dont run well on proton/wine and dont have a anti cheat. Ive already had a second pc on arch as my testing pc and to learn it so it wont be ultra jarring when i switch my main pc to it.
I did slowly start to love the window's 11 designs and animation before hating them. Basically since I've been playing on my new laptop with a 360 fps screen I really started to appreciate the fresh animation in my daily life and even converted my win 10 desktop to 11. I know about the TPM requirement etc which is pretty annoying for me but I learned to go around these limits with Rufus. For me it's enough to have Linux installed over hyper V because I only really ever need it for my it classes and some of my projects so it's kind of like a workplace thing for me also that helps a lot for my productivity because that completely separates my daily gaming laptop from my school stuff by using only the VM Linux for school. The freedom of Linux is great but honestly, I only need that occasionally so staying with windows 11 as my main is the best choice for me.
I've tried dabbling with Linux for about 3-4 years every few months on average and every time I encounter some issue a few days in for something absolutely required for my daily usage and I can never seem to make things work... Although once I finally get things working I'd consider the switch fully
MSWin 10 is *only* tolerable in comparison to MSWin11. Compared to MSWin7 (or MSWin 2000, which I consider the best version of MSWindows) MSW10 is absolute crap. I've been running Linux as my primary OS since 2001 (yes, 23 years). At this point, if I can't run it under Linux (running under Crossover Office/Wine is acceptable) then I don't use it. More than half of the time over the past 25 years I've been using Linux for work as well.
It's a shame that Windows is going this bad, but I'm happy to see people giving Linux a chance! If you like, I can give you some tips to help the familiarization process.
i switched to Linux right after that first LTT video came out I saw it and said It cant be that hard, and I was right for my use case I didnt have any of the streamer hardware they have to set up and im not running any pro software just games (and unlike Linus i remembered to update after my fresh install before trying to install anything else) so it was actually pretty easy for me and i never went back. In your case I think its going to be way harder given what your needs are, but its doable. Also Linus has that weird expectation from talking to server admins that you dont need to restart your computer but like come on it takes like 30 seconds just do a restart. I think we need to hit a critical mass of users before companies even think about supporting us but if everyone waits to switch until they do it'll never happen, so its kinda a tough situation.
Threw Mint on my laptop over a year ago and moved my main workstation over to Pop OS last month. I didn't see a point in waiting till 10 goes EOL, might as well rip the band aid off now. I still need to use MS Office so I have a mini PC for that but I find windows 11 a lot less annoying when I only need to use it for a few minutes at a time.
@@WeekdayWeekend I get it. Over the course of a few months I found replacements for most of the apps that I use that weren't already cross platform/open source. Even with that like I said I still have a mini PC for a few things.
With windows' new "recall" feature you are basically forced to switch to linux. Microsoft, why do you do this to me? All i ask for is to be able play videogames and have a basic amount of privacy, is that really to much?
@@roklaca3138 Well, for me it's not that big of a deal as I work in IT and have some experience with Linux. I have never used it as my main OS on a daily basis though and that's mainly due to problems with software compatibility, which is the only real issue with Linux imo.
Noice, I tried it a year before the ltt video and I had the same issue were steam uninstalled my gui and I never touched it since. Happy to hear that people are having good experiences with it nowadays!
Lol, I'm watching on a 2007 Eee Box - Intel Atom 1.6Ghz / 3GB DDR2, running Linux Mint v3.1 Celena. It's connected to a 32" TV via HDMI. It's ran problem fee for 17 years. The only maintenance i do is strip it once per year to clean the cat fur out of the fan unit.... and that's only if it starts to run too hot. I jumped ship because of Vista. I last used windows when it was XP. Just think of all of those hundreds and hundreds of non- productive hours i would have lost due to endless updates if i had gone the 7/8/8.1/10 route. All my machines other than my phone run Linux of one flavour or another. Hang on..... doesn't Android have a modified Linux kernel?
Same! I'm not entirely new to Linux (my first distro was Mandrake back in the 2000s) and I've dabbled every now and then. But when Win10 goes EOL, I'll make the permanent switch, possibly even before then. It looks like Fedora will be my daily driver, with MX Linux as my "backup". The only major hurdle for me is that Linux doesn't have a first-class, professional photo editing application; I mean something on the level of DXO Photolab (which I use) or Capture One. The likes of Darktable and RawTherapee are not in the same league, although I wish they were. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out something with Wine, or might have to dual-boot just for one piece of software.
Personally at home I ditched Win10 after the telemetry stuff. Now running BigLinux but with a keen eye on Linux Mint and Sparky Linux. Even Nobara too once it has had time to mature.
Privacy isn't even my concern with recall. Isn't constantly taking screenshots going to burn up my ram or hard drive for nothing? Windows PCs already get bogged down and slow after basic use enough as it is.
I'm actually getting zorin os up today, And wanna document my experince to a friend, Although i do wanna test out the native linux ports of my games.. which is not working-
Steam's proton layer is probably the way to go for your game. Add it as a non steam game to Steam on Linux and then run it. You can force it to use proton in the properties
DO NOT WATCH THE LTT SERIES! They lie about so manny things and some of the Bugs they encountered are not there anymore, it leaves a bad sight of Linux (thats not true btw.) and it scares newcomers of. Please just dont watch it if your new. Linus (and that is not meant in a bad way) just doestnt know enough about linux, and you should not listen to the opinion of a nood who doest know how manny of the things he does Work. No hate against him, but the video is just not good for newcomers.
except it is good for newcomers. me or you may not have personally ran into the issues that linus did, but many people who arent as tech literate may run into the same problems as linus did. the majority of people using computers barely understand how to fix a windows system, so how do you expect them to react if their de gets removed on a foreign os?
This may seem schizo but there are actually parts of the LTT series where they went out of their way to choose the worst possible way to do things. The PopOS uninstalling its own GUI fiasco was one of those. That was a known broken version that wasn't shown anywhere prominent on their site that you had to scroll to find, and Linus typed in ALL CAPS "YES I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING" or whatever it was in response to the big red text saying "DO NOT DO THIS IT WILL UNINSTALL YOUR GRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT". I mean seriously, come on man. The way it was edited makes it really hard to see that. The series is FULL of moments like that.
@henrybrewer I completely understand your reasoning here, and I see both sides. On one side, they show the wrong way of doing things and they don't know what they're talking about. On the other... They're experienced Windows users trying to switch to Linux just like the rest of us, and that was their experience. Yeah, they did some things completely wrong, but who's to say that isn't the solution they found online? It's good to see people try to make the switch, even if they didn't do so hot.
At work I have a laptop with Win 11 on it, and it's an abomination. Paint for example opens with a postage-stamp sized editing area thanks to the ribbon UI elements grabbing most of the screen footprint. Seems the designers are too focused on trying to dumb things down to focus more on touch screen input. That takes away actual real-life office productivity though.
The general stagnation of software on MS platforms during the Windows XP era was my breaking point. I switched to Mac right after seeing one in person. 20 years later, I’m much happier.
@ExMachinaEngineering I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere that, slowly but surely, the .NET reliability in Alibre is slowly but surely being removed and replaced... and once that's gone, I'm sure it'll either have a native version, or it'll work almost perfectly using Wine. If only all the others had such a clear path to greatness.
@@WeekdayWeekend Yes, to my knowledge the new UI to come out with v29 will remove most, if not all, of the .NET reliance. Let's see. For sure, it's going to be a massive one...
I'm on the same journey right now. I started about a week back. Really wanted KDE Neon to work for Plasma 6 after seeing a demo of it, but couldn't get Steam games to run. Funny story, my XPS15 7th gen w/ 1050ti laptop can play steam games fine on KDE Neon, but my new AMD CPU/AMD GPU build couldn't. Moving to Kubuntu w/ Plasma 5 is just fine and I got my games running on the new build. It took hours of playing and learning to get where I am now with it. Have one PC with all your Windows workloads working and another for linux. It's easier to suffer linux problems and learning if you can still get your stuff done on another PC. My prior linux attempts always failed because I was using random jank old hardware that struggled to render the desktop. This time, I have linux on my best hardware. Good luck. Subscribing to see updates. :)
If you are testing Linux, check that you can get your printer to work on Linux. I have an multifunction HP printer and have print problems in all Linux versions I have tried. Mint is alspw a problem for me. All other things works fine for me.
@@WeekdayWeekend My problem with printer is solved. I took the power cord out of the printer, and hold the power button down in seconds. Put back the cord and started the printer. Then tested again and the printer would print again in all the linux distros I tested.
There is, and it works most of the time, but can't always handle kernel level anticheat and certain installer applications, and it works by running .exe files. If its an .msi file it won't work.
Yeah it works most of the time but exactly for a lot of the professional apps it often doesn't work. For example the current versions of Adobe, MS Office and such are not working to install or run via wine unfortunately. But I believe in the Linux community and people in general. Linux will grow and either someone really clever can find a way to run all windows apps or companies will start to support linux just like NVIDIA seems to do now. For that to happen Linux needs to become even easier though
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I would love to completely switch over to Linux, but I would still need to use Windows for software that doesn't well if it all. Not sure what the best solution is. I'm thinking of just dual booting and using Linux 90% of the time.
Windows doesn't always play nice with dual boot, you'll have to probably modify the registry a bit. Luckily the Internet has a ton of info on doing that properly
Best "video thumbnail" yet that says it all We've all had enough of WinBlows (v8 and up). I keep 7 & 10 virtualized (on LinuX - formally Twitter:) for specific Windows apps to fill the gaps 🎶. With 7 not having any Interweb access of course. This video subject certainly is SUB-WORTHY. Pre-thanks and now I'll actually go watch it. Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House On the Left.
1:32 the 3700x should work fine with windows 11, there are a lot of completely usable computers that won't be able to run W11 because of Microsoft-imposed limitations and I think that's bad, but the 3700x is on the official compatibility list
Hey, I've watched your entire video and joined your Discord. I have a couple of words: I've been a Windows user since the Windows 7 release, and I've also been a Linux user for about 4 years now, and with these "features" like Recall or unnecessary TPM requirements, I can just say: switch to Linux or macOS. I have known Microsoft for a very long time, and let's just say that the "optional recall feature" will sooner or later be a requirement that you won't be able to turn off. I know Linux isn't "perfect" and it works differently than Windows, and I understand that everyone can have issues, but the Linux community is definitely better than Microsoft's entire support team. Microsoft is more of a shady company now, and Windows 11 is really just complete spyware. I would rather use Windows 7 or Windows 98 instead of their newer OS. And, from what you said, you also have an issue with software. Yes, there are 100% issues with software; luckily, "I" don't use any of that software, but Linux has nothing to do with it as the developers have to port it from Windows to Linux. However, I do understand the pain for everyone else. There are now ways to run Photoshop 2024 on Linux perfectly fine, but it does require certain steps. However, Linux has "massively" improved over the last couple of years. Four years ago, there was barely any gaming support; X11 was really outdated, and there were no updates; however, now it has massively improved. I wish you good luck in the new era of operating systems, and just know that we're here for you if you need any help.
don't ever switch to macos. It's the same golden cage as windows. We've entered the age of cloud datagrab. And like with backups, there will be two groups of people: those who know it, and those who will learn it the hard way.
The problem will be they already have to program for Mac whatever version Apple says. The distro of linux they most likely will go to is Ubuntu for consumer programs and a Red Hat or Oracle version for enterprise programs. The reason why? They are run by corporations not everyone and anyone can submit whatever they want with varying degrees of oversite of what is and isn't good. As almost everything that is for Ubuntu will work on Linux Mint and most if not all distros derived from Ubuntu I am all for them putting their software onto Ubuntu.
@@johnbovay8353 nice! I'm thinking I might try to daily Linux Mint on my laptop soon. I use my laptop to run a D&D campaign though, and I'd hate to put that on hold. We'll see!
500th sub! I'm getting an old thinkpad to learn linux so i can seamlessly game when i upgrade my PC next year. I think it will be challenging, but I don't feel like I have a choice.
@@WeekdayWeekend as much as i hate MS foolery, current solution just works without any problems but what i will swutch to will take a lot of trial for what works the best
Have you tried to use Linux without ever touching the command line? Specifically Linux Mint? I doubt using the command line is much of a necessity these days, everyone still uses it because it's generally more convenient, especially when you're using different distros all the time... but I could easily see someone going out of there way not to use it and I'm fairly sure they would be fine. One would need to use synaptic package manager whenever you install PPAs and oddball software, run things as root by right clicking in Nemo "open file as root" etc. Realistically this is harder then just learning to use basic terminal commands, but it can be done.
Linux will do great on your Hardware man. I'm just being kind here to let you know that One, yes you'll have to learn the basics and continue on in learning all that is Linux (be sure to stick to your distro specifically first. That's the better way.), and each distro has differences. alot do share in common though too just slight difference variance. I myself am using XUbuntu 24.04 with free Ubuntu Pro. So its nice.. One Game I highly suggest, now yes, depending on how full of a Download You Get. But this available for all including ps4 and 5 and xbox as well Linux, Mac, and Windows. War Thunder good massive multiplayer. Airplane, Tanks, Ships You're in control.. lol It is arcadey, But I love it!
The only problem Linux has with software is that certain software manufacturers refuse to make versions of their software for Linux,Adobe is the biggest culprit for this. Linux is not as hard as many people think and it is certainly a lot easier than when I first used it back in the very early 2000's.I have not touched Windows for many years and don't intend to ever go there again.
Linux is not an option for most people because most specialist software which has a big learning curve, will not run on Linux. A debloated Windows 11, if done right, is perfectly fine for the moment. Edge and Copilot can be uninstalled, and we'll see about Recall. Services and telemetry, while a pain, can be perfectly deactivated too, it just takes a few hours to get it right.
For now, yes, it can be worked with. But my main PC will not run Windows 11, so I'm stuck with going to Linux unfortunately. It's also not like Windows will get any better with 12 so I might as well start learning now 😂 but you make a very good point. Thanks for the comment
Recently I bought a mini PC for other tasks, and boy oh boy win11 sucks to change to linux. The amount of problem just to make a USB boot was unbelievable. And I found by other reviews online windows make hard as possible for you to switch. The only solution for me it was to make the USB in my Mac, so I could install Linux mint. Highly recommend. I used Linux 10 years ago in my master and I hate it back them... The amount of commands to do basic stuff was terrible. Now, because of this recall and bloating wind system I give a new chance and I never been so happy. Linux mint is super user friendly and light. Windows never more
Just watch out. Any Linux discussion on UA-cam will lead to very heated comments. I recommend swapping out your software with Linux-compatible stuff on Windows before you take the dive, then just jump into whatever distro works for you.
I love windows but it's so much work now to make it usable the way I want it so I figured if I have to learn how to hack registry and run debloat scripts why not learn linux it's been a year now and it wasn't that hard to learn funny things is the hardest part was to find the distro and desktop environment I liked so I pick Plasma 6 as desktop environment and Cachy os as the distro, and everything is good right now.
Even tho I hate with a burning passion the toxicity of the linux community (was one of the main reasons of why now all my apps are closed source). I have to admit that I'm in the same boat at this moment... The only difference in my case is that I'm using LTSC (1809) and that thing is supposed to have support until 2029 (MS axed the support lifecycle from the next version onward, so I'm kinda in a perfect spot). A few months ago tested debian 12, and tbh, it's quite decent. Most of my gaming stuff can be resolved by using sunshine/moonshine to stream my games. There are only a few games that can't be streamed.
I already left. Copilot was the last straw for me. I have a more than W11 capable system (i7 10700f, RTX 3070 FE, 16gb ram). But, I just dont want it. I'm tired of the AI garbage, I'm tired of the ads and the bloat. I moved my PC to Cachy OS and I've never been happier.
I ALMOST moved my Windows 11 laptop (the one I mentioned in the vid) to Linux, because Windows 11 kept bricking itself. Unfortunately Lenovo releases all their driver updates through Windows exes. After 4 reinstalls of Windows 11 in a week, I went to Windows 10 and it's working fine. Long live Windows 10. Not as perfect as Windows 7 but damn close.
@WeekdayWeekend windows 10 will forever be missed even by me. What's funny is I play alot of batman arkham knight (I know I have a 3070 and play a game from the early Xbox one days) and it stuttered like hell on windows but under linux had absolute zero issues and even ran better ! I'm convinced linux is the future of pc gaming
because most of the software I use on a daily basis isn't Linux supported. All software I've paid for and have many documents for that I'd still like to access. Some of these are getting Linux versions, others aren't. If there still aren't Linux native versions by 2025, I'll probably run those in a VM.
Apple takes roughly the same amount of information that Microsoft does, unfortunately. I'm also not interested in any MacBooks or any of their PCs, especially not for the price. But I'm glad you've found another solution other than Windows! Either way I'm glad you've found a solution that you like. Thanks so much for watching and commenting
@@WeekdayWeekend Ehh I would say no, and when they introduce a controversial feature, they actually listen to feedback and either modify it so it's not controversial, or flat out remove it. Plus, they claim that they think "Privacy is a fundamental human right". I may have minor bias towards apple, but I clearly understand the price of MacBooks and the lack of choice argument. Linux is definitely not a viable option for me unfortunately and it likely won't ever...
same situation... unless we see some capitulation... windows 8.1 style, this is the end of the road. im dreading the switch, but i dread win 11 even more,
Windows 7 was the last great version of windows because when Microsoft made it, they were just trying to make an O.S. that worked, with nothing special. Now the only way you can get that same feeling of a rock solid O.S. that gets out of your way is to install Linux.
I have been using Linux for work exclusively now for about 3 years. It is great once you get past the basics. For development, it is far superior to windows. My home machine has Windows 10 that can't "upgrade" to 11 and I am glad of that. I have a new SSD that I plan to install Pop!_OS on when the new version is released and that will be that. For windows only programs, grab an installer while you can of Win 10 and put it on a virtual machine. I am using QEMU and virt-manager for mine
i swith to mx linux was buggy then to debian 12 it's stable no b ugs can run games no all day afair like i found debian easy and easy to maintain which you can create . long story short bought a ryzen 7 5800h mini pc 2 t SSDS 32 gigs of ram a good 4.0 gigahertz runs like i7 11th gen machine i love it
@@newuser456 Hackintosh is becoming less of an option as Apple makes their firmware work on only Apple silicon, unfortunately. Not to mention the massive security problems with Mac OS as well. Perhaps they don't sell as much of your data as Microsoft, but it's confirmed on multiple occasions that Apple is definitely collecting just as much if not more
Try linux on a laptop first before switching your main pc. If you have the money you can buy a crappy video card dedicated for linux and then fire up a windows vm with your more powerful card for gaming and video editing. I've been on arch for almost a year now have some issues with anti cheat, but there is always ways around that
Loved Windows XP and Win 7 came in and I fought it but grew to love it. I soon realized it was amazing. It was so so sad when end support occurred. I really do not care for Win 10. Its clunky and feels like spyware. I will never update to Win 11. I will have to go this route with Linux.
When Windows 10 support ends, so will some of my hobbies due to linux not supporting the ability to pursue them. Before the vegans- I mean linux users- beat me over the head about wine, I've tried wine already with mixed results.
me : lets switch to linux. i am very tired of microsoft make windows shitty. meanwhile : wifi + software issue that i cant fix on linux ; are you sure about that ? sad but true
yeah, I'm planning to switch to linux too, for the same reasons you mentioned. so, on a side note. (I really hate to suggest this because I often come off the wrong way) I noticed your eyes switching frequently from your camera to your (I assume) script. it's not a big deal but was kind of distracting. I think you could mitigate that if you sat further away from your screen or moved your script closer to the top. I apologise if I sound like a jerk or a know-it-all. I realise you didn't ask for my advice.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I don't always use scripts, but for things like this I need to. I was also thinking about ways to fix that. Thanks for watching!
There are still pesky issues in Linux that require hours of research. For example getting USB to work in some apps, still requires cryptic commands and editing config files. And with so much outdated info on the web can be a PITA to figure out.
@@jamesross3939 It definitely isn't for the faint of heart, but it depends on what is more important to you as the end user I suppose. IMO, whether we like it or not, Linux is simply the only other viable OS for gaming and most non-graphic-design-centered desktop applications. Presumably Linux will be getting much better much faster with the huge influx of users. Here's hoping
this is my solution that i will go with. MacOS for everyday. one pc with ether linux or windows just to store my games and run them. then stream them through my main pc, laptop, or whatever with steam link. after doing a quick test of this flow it works great. 4k, HDR, 120hz with basically no latency. you can use linux for this if you dont care for HDR. as of today to stream HDR games the host pc must be a windows for now. you can bet valve is working on fixing that. so once they do i will switch the host pc to linux. its one and only job will to run and stream games to any of my devices.
Windows 11 search is linked to Bing you say? And? Lol. What a non-issue. First world problems. More like NON PROBLEMS duh. Hello? It's a Microsoft OS. So of course they are going to prioritize their search. So what. Are you not an adult? Just open your browser and use Google search or whatever other search engine you prefer. I use Windows 11 and amost never use the Windows search bar lol. Why would I? I use browsers to search like a normal person.
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video! The problem isn't that I don't want to use the web browser, the problem is that I don't want to search the internet at all! I try to search MY PC, and it searches Bing instead. That's the problem. There's also absolutely no reason to be so derogatory. Speaking of acting like adults, adults don't act how you just did by posting an extensive paragraph about a problem you don't even understand.
Oh wow, not ANOTHER 500 sub "I'm switching to Linux" 40 year old neckbeard. This one is definitely going to say something new and useful to make me switch from a normal OS with a few fixable flaws to basically Windows 95. The year of the Linux desktop is right around the corner guys, I mean it this time!
Thanks for helping the algorithm by leaving not one but TWO comments! Tell me you've never even tried Linux without telling me you've never tried Linux! I've never had a single issue with graphics or anything like that. If you'd like to bend over for Microsoft, you go right on ahead. Don't attack people for their sub count like it makes any difference as to whether what they're saying has any merit at all. Please reply so that I can keep milking you for the algorithm.

Coming from macOS, but for different reasons.
Microsoft managed to do what nobody else could, make Linux a viable Desktop OS alternative.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You meant AtlasOS i suppose...linux is for programmers and IT pros.
@@roklaca3138 Who said that Linux is for programmesr or IT pros? Im not a programmer or anything and i suck at it.
But i use linux and for me its a plug and play on linux then on windows, because i dont have to download nvida drivers manually amd cpu chipset drivers and windows updates takes so goddamn long.
I have tried AtlasOS before and i didnt like it because it felt a worse experience blue screens, crashes on games (some), bit of flickering on the desktop.
And even if i did get a problem or some kind (which i haven't) i would just use the internet or chatgpt on linux.
I also did that on AtlasOS and couldn't find anything even on their discord.

Linux is just a different way of working than Windows. If you can get your mindset in that line, you're gonna be fine. I swear by Linux Mint so at least in my opinion, you can't go wrong if you go that route.
@Maxume I just wish everyone in the Linux community was as helpful as all of you leaving your support in my comments. Thank you for watching and your kind words!
@@WeekdayWeekend No problem. BTW, for music creation, you should give Reaper a try. It supports Linux natively and its super cheap if you find you want to continue using it after the trial.
@@WeekdayWeekend Ideally, at least that's the linux philosophy : you need to learn it. That's the common thing. Any distribution can be used for that.
Then you will develop preferences on distros based on what they include by default, the package manager and a few other details.
That said, aaaaaaall that is still tied to professional software working on linux, as you can't expect people to switch to totally different software easily.
Especially when that software doesn't have all the functionalities you need.
For some, using wine or a virtual machine might do the trick, but a vm still requires to have windows in there... which defeats the goal here. And not everything will run on wine either.
For others, Mac OS with alternative apps might do the trick (maybe the Affinity suite ?), if the goal is specifically to say goodbye to Windows.
The last thing everyone needs is Linux users lying on how easy it is to switch when you need professional apps that simply don't work on Linux. They don't need them, so they were able to switch easily... and thus decide that it's the case for everyone. Linux isn't for everyone, and that's not something you can change easily : big companies would need to support it for that to happen... and they probably will never do that due to the low marketshare it represents.
Oh, I'm saying all this from an archlinux using the sway window manager, btw.
i did the switch last week to Fedora 40 and glad i have done it.
That’s a year away, why wait?
because some things don't work in these days and it's best to just wait
@@cutemarxist if they’re planning on bailing anyways, may as well start determining what workarounds they do need to implement and get used to them while there’s still some runway.
I did it last week went straight to arch not looking back
I hope it works out well! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've been in the same situation, I'm still researching how and which softwares have linux support my main issue is some niche software are never going to have Linux support :/
That's the biggest issue. Some stuff works well with Wine but others don't, best to either use a virtual machine to test or use an old laptop or something you may have laying around
If things aren't perfect for you on Linux, maybe you can dualboot with a Hackintosh, it's way safer than Windows.
@@see-sharp Apple Intelligence.
I've been building, repairing, and tinkering with computers for bout 50 years. I've been dabbling with Linux off and on for about 15 year, but especially in the last few years. I've had Fedora Workstation with Plasma as my daily driver for about 2 years now and LOVE it. I have CachyOS on another drive and I'm seriously considering switching to it. The key to Linux is to start by getting a good understanding of filesystems, drive labeling, and partitions as well as really understanding permissions.
Im working to move to linux as well. I finally got my pc upgraded with a new amd card to switch to linux but just have a couple issues im ironing out. I do plan on running arch. The only time i want to use windows is in vm that has a nividia gpu passed through to it (and the vm will stay 10 until its out of support). This is for the few programs that are not on linux and maybe the few games that dont run well on proton/wine and dont have a anti cheat. Ive already had a second pc on arch as my testing pc and to learn it so it wont be ultra jarring when i switch my main pc to it.
I already quit Windows in 2017 and never used it again.
I did slowly start to love the window's 11 designs and animation before hating them. Basically since I've been playing on my new laptop with a 360 fps screen I really started to appreciate the fresh animation in my daily life and even converted my win 10 desktop to 11.
I know about the TPM requirement etc which is pretty annoying for me but I learned to go around these limits with Rufus. For me it's enough to have Linux installed over hyper V because I only really ever need it for my it classes and some of my projects so it's kind of like a workplace thing for me also that helps a lot for my productivity because that completely separates my daily gaming laptop from my school stuff by using only the VM Linux for school.
The freedom of Linux is great but honestly, I only need that occasionally so staying with windows 11 as my main is the best choice for me.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
What about copilot and hudge data mining?
I've tried dabbling with Linux for about 3-4 years every few months on average and every time I encounter some issue a few days in for something absolutely required for my daily usage and I can never seem to make things work... Although once I finally get things working I'd consider the switch fully
All my pc's are linux except one. I have to edit on that one and linux does not fully support that yet for Devinci.
MSWin 10 is *only* tolerable in comparison to MSWin11. Compared to MSWin7 (or MSWin 2000, which I consider the best version of MSWindows) MSW10 is absolute crap.
I've been running Linux as my primary OS since 2001 (yes, 23 years). At this point, if I can't run it under Linux (running under Crossover Office/Wine is acceptable) then I don't use it. More than half of the time over the past 25 years I've been using Linux for work as well.
It's a shame that Windows is going this bad, but I'm happy to see people giving Linux a chance!
If you like, I can give you some tips to help the familiarization process.
i switched to Linux right after that first LTT video came out I saw it and said It cant be that hard, and I was right for my use case I didnt have any of the streamer hardware they have to set up and im not running any pro software just games (and unlike Linus i remembered to update after my fresh install before trying to install anything else) so it was actually pretty easy for me and i never went back. In your case I think its going to be way harder given what your needs are, but its doable.
Also Linus has that weird expectation from talking to server admins that you dont need to restart your computer but like come on it takes like 30 seconds just do a restart.
I think we need to hit a critical mass of users before companies even think about supporting us but if everyone waits to switch until they do it'll never happen, so its kinda a tough situation.
Threw Mint on my laptop over a year ago and moved my main workstation over to Pop OS last month. I didn't see a point in waiting till 10 goes EOL, might as well rip the band aid off now. I still need to use MS Office so I have a mini PC for that but I find windows 11 a lot less annoying when I only need to use it for a few minutes at a time.
Only reason I haven't "ripped" the bandaid off is I still have so much stuff I rely on Windows for on a daily basis.
@@WeekdayWeekend I get it. Over the course of a few months I found replacements for most of the apps that I use that weren't already cross platform/open source. Even with that like I said I still have a mini PC for a few things.
With windows' new "recall" feature you are basically forced to switch to linux. Microsoft, why do you do this to me? All i ask for is to be able play videogames and have a basic amount of privacy, is that really to much?
For Microsoft, yes that's too much. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Now we will have to put up with linux command line, scripting, debugging, what have you....really no alternative to win
@@roklaca3138 Well, for me it's not that big of a deal as I work in IT and have some experience with Linux. I have never used it as my main OS on a daily basis though and that's mainly due to problems with software compatibility, which is the only real issue with Linux imo.
@@roklaca3138 Debian based distros are pretty idiot proof. I'd recommend Mint or Pop!OS
I've already made the switch this year
Same I switched to nixOS which is arguably harder than arch lol. If I could have chosen a new distro to start over I would want to try mint.
I made the switch to PopOS recently and everything just works.
That's good! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bad advice
@@DaMu24 how is that bad advice when it just works????
Noice, I tried it a year before the ltt video and I had the same issue were steam uninstalled my gui and I never touched it since. Happy to hear that people are having good experiences with it nowadays!
Happily watched this video from my "old" Lenovo notebook running mint for years now no problem! also wine/proton making giant steps lately
Lol, I'm watching on a 2007 Eee Box - Intel Atom 1.6Ghz / 3GB DDR2, running Linux Mint v3.1 Celena. It's connected to a 32" TV via HDMI.
It's ran problem fee for 17 years. The only maintenance i do is strip it once per year to clean the cat fur out of the fan unit.... and that's only if it starts to run too hot.
I jumped ship because of Vista. I last used windows when it was XP.
Just think of all of those hundreds and hundreds of non- productive hours i would have lost due to endless updates if i had gone the 7/8/8.1/10 route.
All my machines other than my phone run Linux of one flavour or another.
Hang on..... doesn't Android have a modified Linux kernel?
Same! I'm not entirely new to Linux (my first distro was Mandrake back in the 2000s) and I've dabbled every now and then. But when Win10 goes EOL, I'll make the permanent switch, possibly even before then. It looks like Fedora will be my daily driver, with MX Linux as my "backup". The only major hurdle for me is that Linux doesn't have a first-class, professional photo editing application; I mean something on the level of DXO Photolab (which I use) or Capture One. The likes of Darktable and RawTherapee are not in the same league, although I wish they were. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out something with Wine, or might have to dual-boot just for one piece of software.
Personally at home I ditched Win10 after the telemetry stuff. Now running BigLinux but with a keen eye on Linux Mint and Sparky Linux. Even Nobara too once it has had time to mature.
Privacy isn't even my concern with recall. Isn't constantly taking screenshots going to burn up my ram or hard drive for nothing? Windows PCs already get bogged down and slow after basic use enough as it is.
I'm actually getting zorin os up today, And wanna document my experince to a friend, Although i do wanna test out the native linux ports of my games.. which is not working-
Steam's proton layer is probably the way to go for your game. Add it as a non steam game to Steam on Linux and then run it. You can force it to use proton in the properties
@@WeekdayWeekend Yeah, But seeing that I'd have to install proton first for it to show all my Windows games, I kinda wanna allow it natively too..
DO NOT WATCH THE LTT SERIES! They lie about so manny things and some of the Bugs they encountered are not there anymore, it leaves a bad sight of Linux (thats not true btw.) and it scares newcomers of. Please just dont watch it if your new. Linus (and that is not meant in a bad way) just doestnt know enough about linux, and you should not listen to the opinion of a nood who doest know how manny of the things he does Work. No hate against him, but the video is just not good for newcomers.
except it is good for newcomers. me or you may not have personally ran into the issues that linus did, but many people who arent as tech literate may run into the same problems as linus did. the majority of people using computers barely understand how to fix a windows system, so how do you expect them to react if their de gets removed on a foreign os?
yeah dont watch the LTT series
This may seem schizo but there are actually parts of the LTT series where they went out of their way to choose the worst possible way to do things.
The PopOS uninstalling its own GUI fiasco was one of those. That was a known broken version that wasn't shown anywhere prominent on their site that you had to scroll to find, and Linus typed in ALL CAPS "YES I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING" or whatever it was in response to the big red text saying "DO NOT DO THIS IT WILL UNINSTALL YOUR GRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT".
I mean seriously, come on man.
The way it was edited makes it really hard to see that. The series is FULL of moments like that.
@henrybrewer I completely understand your reasoning here, and I see both sides. On one side, they show the wrong way of doing things and they don't know what they're talking about. On the other... They're experienced Windows users trying to switch to Linux just like the rest of us, and that was their experience. Yeah, they did some things completely wrong, but who's to say that isn't the solution they found online? It's good to see people try to make the switch, even if they didn't do so hot.
I was a die hard Microsoft fanboy but moved to Linux more than a decade ago. Linux has been, honestly, amazing... it feels like I got my PC back 🎉🎉
I know what you mean! It brought back my old 2013 laptop like it was almost brand new. Thanks for watching and commenting!
At work I have a laptop with Win 11 on it, and it's an abomination. Paint for example opens with a postage-stamp sized editing area thanks to the ribbon UI elements grabbing most of the screen footprint. Seems the designers are too focused on trying to dumb things down to focus more on touch screen input. That takes away actual real-life office productivity though.
The general stagnation of software on MS platforms during the Windows XP era was my breaking point. I switched to Mac right after seeing one in person. 20 years later, I’m much happier.
We need to lobby Max and get an Alibre version for Linux. If Alibre works in Linux I'm gone from Windows... Gone, I say!!!
@ExMachinaEngineering I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere that, slowly but surely, the .NET reliability in Alibre is slowly but surely being removed and replaced... and once that's gone, I'm sure it'll either have a native version, or it'll work almost perfectly using Wine.
If only all the others had such a clear path to greatness.
@@WeekdayWeekend Yes, to my knowledge the new UI to come out with v29 will remove most, if not all, of the .NET reliance. Let's see. For sure, it's going to be a massive one...
After using Windows since Win 98, I moved to Linux Mint, because enought is enought. Dont regret at all.
Mint is actually really nice. It's well thought out and more or less a "get out of your face" distro.
I'm on the same journey right now. I started about a week back. Really wanted KDE Neon to work for Plasma 6 after seeing a demo of it, but couldn't get Steam games to run. Funny story, my XPS15 7th gen w/ 1050ti laptop can play steam games fine on KDE Neon, but my new AMD CPU/AMD GPU build couldn't. Moving to Kubuntu w/ Plasma 5 is just fine and I got my games running on the new build. It took hours of playing and learning to get where I am now with it. Have one PC with all your Windows workloads working and another for linux. It's easier to suffer linux problems and learning if you can still get your stuff done on another PC. My prior linux attempts always failed because I was using random jank old hardware that struggled to render the desktop. This time, I have linux on my best hardware. Good luck. Subscribing to see updates. :)
If you are testing Linux, check that you can get your printer to work on Linux. I have an multifunction HP printer and have print problems in all Linux versions I have tried. Mint is alspw a problem for me. All other things works fine for me.
Linux on my old laptop worked fine but that's definitely something to keep in mind for everyone.. Thanks for the comment
@@WeekdayWeekend My pc is old too. From 2011 but working fine. It's a desktop.
@@WeekdayWeekend My problem with printer is solved. I took the power cord out of the printer, and hold the power button down in seconds. Put back the cord and started the printer. Then tested again and the printer would print again in all the linux distros I tested.
correct me if im wrong, but on linux theres a thing called wine that allows you to run native windows app on linux?
There is, and it works most of the time, but can't always handle kernel level anticheat and certain installer applications, and it works by running .exe files. If its an .msi file it won't work.
Yeah it works most of the time but exactly for a lot of the professional apps it often doesn't work. For example the current versions of Adobe, MS Office and such are not working to install or run via wine unfortunately.
But I believe in the Linux community and people in general. Linux will grow and either someone really clever can find a way to run all windows apps or companies will start to support linux just like NVIDIA seems to do now.
For that to happen Linux needs to become even easier though
Yeah I'm in the same boat. I would love to completely switch over to Linux, but I would still need to use Windows for software that doesn't well if it all. Not sure what the best solution is. I'm thinking of just dual booting and using Linux 90% of the time.
Windows doesn't always play nice with dual boot, you'll have to probably modify the registry a bit. Luckily the Internet has a ton of info on doing that properly
me is more cause of my hardware, like i can switch but i really i dont want to loose wifi ! or have troubleshoot myself !
Best "video thumbnail" yet that says it all We've all had enough of WinBlows (v8 and up). I keep 7 & 10 virtualized (on LinuX - formally Twitter:) for specific Windows apps to fill the gaps 🎶. With 7 not having any Interweb access of course. This video subject certainly is SUB-WORTHY. Pre-thanks and now I'll actually go watch it. Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House On the Left.
1:32 the 3700x should work fine with windows 11, there are a lot of completely usable computers that won't be able to run W11 because of Microsoft-imposed limitations and I think that's bad, but the 3700x is on the official compatibility list
Even the 2700X works. It's the 1700X that is no longer supported.
Made the switch 2 weeks ago, now dualbooting Arch and Ubuntu and i've never look back at Windows again, do it now man.
Hey, I've watched your entire video and joined your Discord. I have a couple of words: I've been a Windows user since the Windows 7 release, and I've also been a Linux user for about 4 years now, and with these "features" like Recall or unnecessary TPM requirements, I can just say: switch to Linux or macOS. I have known Microsoft for a very long time, and let's just say that the "optional recall feature" will sooner or later be a requirement that you won't be able to turn off. I know Linux isn't "perfect" and it works differently than Windows, and I understand that everyone can have issues, but the Linux community is definitely better than Microsoft's entire support team. Microsoft is more of a shady company now, and Windows 11 is really just complete spyware. I would rather use Windows 7 or Windows 98 instead of their newer OS. And, from what you said, you also have an issue with software. Yes, there are 100% issues with software; luckily, "I" don't use any of that software, but Linux has nothing to do with it as the developers have to port it from Windows to Linux. However, I do understand the pain for everyone else. There are now ways to run Photoshop 2024 on Linux perfectly fine, but it does require certain steps. However, Linux has "massively" improved over the last couple of years. Four years ago, there was barely any gaming support; X11 was really outdated, and there were no updates; however, now it has massively improved. I wish you good luck in the new era of operating systems, and just know that we're here for you if you need any help.
don't ever switch to macos. It's the same golden cage as windows. We've entered the age of cloud datagrab. And like with backups, there will be two groups of people: those who know it, and those who will learn it the hard way.
The problem will be they already have to program for Mac whatever version Apple says. The distro of linux they most likely will go to is Ubuntu for consumer programs and a Red Hat or Oracle version for enterprise programs. The reason why? They are run by corporations not everyone and anyone can submit whatever they want with varying degrees of oversite of what is and isn't good. As almost everything that is for Ubuntu will work on Linux Mint and most if not all distros derived from Ubuntu I am all for them putting their software onto Ubuntu.
Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon will be released any day now.
@@johnbovay8353 nice! I'm thinking I might try to daily Linux Mint on my laptop soon. I use my laptop to run a D&D campaign though, and I'd hate to put that on hold. We'll see!
It'll be worth the switch once you can, but I recommend taking your time. Moving hastily will make you alot more frustrated.
500th sub! I'm getting an old thinkpad to learn linux so i can seamlessly game when i upgrade my PC next year. I think it will be challenging, but I don't feel like I have a choice.
As long as linux is command line based, you will not see a massive increase of market share.
@@roklaca3138 here's hoping there's a solution.
@@WeekdayWeekend as much as i hate MS foolery, current solution just works without any problems but what i will swutch to will take a lot of trial for what works the best
Have you tried to use Linux without ever touching the command line? Specifically Linux Mint? I doubt using the command line is much of a necessity these days, everyone still uses it because it's generally more convenient, especially when you're using different distros all the time... but I could easily see someone going out of there way not to use it and I'm fairly sure they would be fine. One would need to use synaptic package manager whenever you install PPAs and oddball software, run things as root by right clicking in Nemo "open file as root" etc. Realistically this is harder then just learning to use basic terminal commands, but it can be done.
Your Ryzen 7 3700X is supported based on the Windows 11 supported AMD processors specsheet

Linux will do great on your Hardware man.

The only problem Linux has with software is that certain software manufacturers refuse to make versions of their software for Linux,Adobe is the biggest culprit for this. Linux is not as hard as many people think and it is certainly a lot easier than when I first used it back in the very early 2000's.I have not touched Windows for many years and don't intend to ever go there again.
Linux is not an option for most people because most specialist software which has a big learning curve, will not run on Linux. A debloated Windows 11, if done right, is perfectly fine for the moment. Edge and Copilot can be uninstalled, and we'll see about Recall. Services and telemetry, while a pain, can be perfectly deactivated too, it just takes a few hours to get it right.
For now, yes, it can be worked with. But my main PC will not run Windows 11, so I'm stuck with going to Linux unfortunately. It's also not like Windows will get any better with 12 so I might as well start learning now 😂 but you make a very good point. Thanks for the comment
Why not today
Recently I bought a mini PC for other tasks, and boy oh boy win11 sucks to change to linux.
The amount of problem just to make a USB boot was unbelievable. And I found by other reviews online windows make hard as possible for you to switch.
The only solution for me it was to make the USB in my Mac, so I could install Linux mint.
Highly recommend.
I used Linux 10 years ago in my master and I hate it back them... The amount of commands to do basic stuff was terrible.
Now, because of this recall and bloating wind system I give a new chance and I never been so happy.
Linux mint is super user friendly and light.
Windows never more
Just watch out. Any Linux discussion on UA-cam will lead to very heated comments. I recommend swapping out your software with Linux-compatible stuff on Windows before you take the dive, then just jump into whatever distro works for you.
I love windows but it's so much work now to make it usable the way I want it so I figured if I have to learn how to hack registry and run debloat scripts why not learn linux it's been a year now and it wasn't that hard to learn funny things is the hardest part was to find the distro and desktop environment I liked so I pick Plasma 6 as desktop environment and Cachy os as the distro, and everything is good right now.
Why wait? I made the jump to Linux and it does everything windows can do
Even tho I hate with a burning passion the toxicity of the linux community (was one of the main reasons of why now all my apps are closed source). I have to admit that I'm in the same boat at this moment... The only difference in my case is that I'm using LTSC (1809) and that thing is supposed to have support until 2029 (MS axed the support lifecycle from the next version onward, so I'm kinda in a perfect spot).
A few months ago tested debian 12, and tbh, it's quite decent. Most of my gaming stuff can be resolved by using sunshine/moonshine to stream my games. There are only a few games that can't be streamed.
I already left. Copilot was the last straw for me. I have a more than W11 capable system (i7 10700f, RTX 3070 FE, 16gb ram). But, I just dont want it. I'm tired of the AI garbage, I'm tired of the ads and the bloat. I moved my PC to Cachy OS and I've never been happier.
I ALMOST moved my Windows 11 laptop (the one I mentioned in the vid) to Linux, because Windows 11 kept bricking itself. Unfortunately Lenovo releases all their driver updates through Windows exes.
After 4 reinstalls of Windows 11 in a week, I went to Windows 10 and it's working fine.
Long live Windows 10. Not as perfect as Windows 7 but damn close.
@WeekdayWeekend windows 10 will forever be missed even by me. What's funny is I play alot of batman arkham knight (I know I have a 3070 and play a game from the early Xbox one days) and it stuttered like hell on windows but under linux had absolute zero issues and even ran better ! I'm convinced linux is the future of pc gaming

Why don't you switch now, and get whatever distro you prefer, you'll get used to Linux much faster.
because most of the software I use on a daily basis isn't Linux supported. All software I've paid for and have many documents for that I'd still like to access. Some of these are getting Linux versions, others aren't. If there still aren't Linux native versions by 2025, I'll probably run those in a VM.

macOS Does not have the privacy concerns that Microsoft Windows has, which is why I use macOS. I switched just before Windows 11, and its so good.
Apple takes roughly the same amount of information that Microsoft does, unfortunately. I'm also not interested in any MacBooks or any of their PCs, especially not for the price. But I'm glad you've found another solution other than Windows! Either way I'm glad you've found a solution that you like. Thanks so much for watching and commenting
@@WeekdayWeekend Ehh I would say no, and when they introduce a controversial feature, they actually listen to feedback and either modify it so it's not controversial, or flat out remove it.

Linux is definitely not a viable option for me unfortunately and it likely won't ever...
same situation... unless we see some capitulation... windows 8.1 style, this is the end of the road. im dreading the switch, but i dread win 11 even more,
Windows 7 was the last great version of windows because when Microsoft made it, they were just trying to make an O.S. that worked, with nothing special. Now the only way you can get that same feeling of a rock solid O.S. that gets out of your way is to install Linux.
I have been using Linux for work exclusively now for about 3 years. It is great once you get past the basics. For development, it is far superior to windows. My home machine has Windows 10 that can't "upgrade" to 11 and I am glad of that. I have a new SSD that I plan to install Pop!_OS on when the new version is released and that will be that. For windows only programs, grab an installer while you can of Win 10 and put it on a virtual machine. I am using QEMU and virt-manager for mine

@@jedimagejoe once SteamOS is out that will be the nail in the coffin for a lot of people waiting to switch.
i will just use a mac if windows has a problem or hackingtosh a pc
@@newuser456 Hackintosh is becoming less of an option as Apple makes their firmware work on only Apple silicon, unfortunately. Not to mention the massive security problems with Mac OS as well. Perhaps they don't sell as much of your data as Microsoft, but it's confirmed on multiple occasions that Apple is definitely collecting just as much if not more
Try linux on a laptop first before switching your main pc. If you have the money you can buy a crappy video card dedicated for linux and then fire up a windows vm with your more powerful card for gaming and video editing. I've been on arch for almost a year now have some issues with anti cheat, but there is always ways around that
you dont look happy about it tho
Loved Windows XP and Win 7 came in and I fought it but grew to love it. I soon realized it was amazing. It was so so sad when end support occurred. I really do not care for Win 10. Its clunky and feels like spyware. I will never update to Win 11. I will have to go this route with Linux.
When Windows 10 support ends, so will some of my hobbies due to linux not supporting the ability to pursue them. Before the vegans- I mean linux users- beat me over the head about wine, I've tried wine already with mixed results.
Wine works for a lot of things but it also doesn't work for a lot of things.
me : lets switch to linux. i am very tired of microsoft make windows shitty.
meanwhile : wifi + software issue that i cant fix on linux ; are you sure about that ?
sad but true
yeah, I'm planning to switch to linux too, for the same reasons you mentioned.
so, on a side note. (I really hate to suggest this because I often come off the wrong way) I noticed your eyes switching frequently from your camera to your (I assume) script. it's not a big deal but was kind of distracting. I think you could mitigate that if you sat further away from your screen or moved your script closer to the top.
I apologise if I sound like a jerk or a know-it-all. I realise you didn't ask for my advice.
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, I don't always use scripts, but for things like this I need to. I was also thinking about ways to fix that. Thanks for watching!
me too. mint.
Glad to hear you want to leave windows for linux! :)
There are still pesky issues in Linux that require hours of research. For example getting USB to work in some apps, still requires cryptic commands and editing config files. And with so much outdated info on the web can be a PITA to figure out.
@@jamesross3939 It definitely isn't for the faint of heart, but it depends on what is more important to you as the end user I suppose.
IMO, whether we like it or not, Linux is simply the only other viable OS for gaming and most non-graphic-design-centered desktop applications. Presumably Linux will be getting much better much faster with the huge influx of users. Here's hoping
after October 14th 2025 I will still be using windows 10 idc
this is my solution that i will go with. MacOS for everyday.
one pc with ether linux or windows just to store my games and run them. then stream them through my main pc, laptop, or whatever with steam link. after doing a quick test of this flow it works great. 4k, HDR, 120hz with basically no latency. you can use linux for this if you dont care for HDR. as of today to stream HDR games the host pc must be a windows for now. you can bet valve is working on fixing that. so once they do i will switch the host pc to linux. its one and only job will to run and stream games to any of my devices.
Wokedows 11
f microsoft
Only bots blindly run windows now days.
no i want to quit windows but i cant :( i dont want to toubleshoot everything myself and some of my program dont work on windows !
@@xgui4-studios I said "blindly" just cause you run windows doesn't make you one the blind bots.. but sadly that majority are said bots
Windows 11 search is linked to Bing you say? And? Lol. What a non-issue. First world problems. More like NON PROBLEMS duh. Hello? It's a Microsoft OS. So of course they are going to prioritize their search. So what. Are you not an adult? Just open your browser and use Google search or whatever other search engine you prefer. I use Windows 11 and amost never use the Windows search bar lol. Why would I? I use browsers to search like a normal person.
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video! The problem isn't that I don't want to use the web browser, the problem is that I don't want to search the internet at all! I try to search MY PC, and it searches Bing instead. That's the problem.
There's also absolutely no reason to be so derogatory. Speaking of acting like adults, adults don't act how you just did by posting an extensive paragraph about a problem you don't even understand.
Oh wow, not ANOTHER 500 sub "I'm switching to Linux" 40 year old neckbeard. This one is definitely going to say something new and useful to make me switch from a normal OS with a few fixable flaws to basically Windows 95. The year of the Linux desktop is right around the corner guys, I mean it this time!
Come on in, the water is fine and we still haven't figured out GPU drivers.
There are better ways of saying that without using personal attacks. This is uncalled for.
Thanks for helping the algorithm by leaving not one but TWO comments!
Tell me you've never even tried Linux without telling me you've never tried Linux! I've never had a single issue with graphics or anything like that.
If you'd like to bend over for Microsoft, you go right on ahead.
Don't attack people for their sub count like it makes any difference as to whether what they're saying has any merit at all. Please reply so that I can keep milking you for the algorithm.
Lol another Linux crap promoter. Linux fans is too bored this days
