The answer to your question is that Linus is Funnish(opps mean Finnish.

I think the issue about computers and school is not which operating system to use, but which document formats. If the school is insisting on using closed Microsoft formats (that aren't even compatible from one version of MS Office to the next) then you've got problems.

I used to be a market analyst who uses Excel for data analysis. Last year I started learning Python and its packages... I admit that I used Windows for Python programming at first. But after several weeks of studying using Linux on one Linux server, I noticed Windows is a joke🤣 Never use it when you are programming, just for games! That is OK~
Thanks to Steam Proton you can play next to every game that's available on Steam runs well on Linux! Except for a few games that struggle with specific hardware drivers, I can't notice a difference.
C# is actually cross-plattform. It is a language that is compiled into an intermediate byte code and can be technically run on any machine. It's just that the interpreter is not available for every plattform. But you seem to forget Mono.
I remember it being so that while C# written for mono will compile in .NET, the same is not valid the other way around. Kinda like C-code not written for the windows compiler will not necessarily compile with gcc.
I think it's the parents fault for putting the children on an english school in their home country. You don't need that, on this globalized world english is everywhere. I'm also in favour of preserving the small languages and nationalities. Peace!
Language is nothing more than a tool for communication, and a tool is rated by how useful it is. Outside of Sweden and Finland, Swedish and Finish aren't useful in the slightest. The usefulness of a language is defined by how big the speaking community is, how scattered it is and how big the barrier of entrance for outsiders is. The Finish speaking community isn't thinly scattered, but it is small; so small in fact that everybody has to communicate with the outside world. The barrier of entrance is huge, meaning nobody will learn Finish if he hadn't got a really really well paying job there. In effect Finish will eventually die. Swedish's community is only double that of Finish's and the same downsides apply, so its chances of surviving history are also meager. English on the other hand is very useful! It has a huge speaking community and a relatively low barrier of entrance. So think of it as a plague if you will, but it is a very beneficial plague. And it would be really really good for the European Union to have a unified standard language. "But what about Japanese or Chinese? They clearly are not going to learn English!" True, because they don't have to. Japan has 13 times the population of Sweden and China accomodates for 1/7 of the world's population. Most of them have never spoken to a person outside of their country. And obviously the barrier of entrance for them is much higher that for any European. But that is also why those countries are relatively secluded. But they also aren't in any political and economic union like the European Union! And being a union obviously means being able to speak to one another.

Having used a computer for more than a decade and a half, I have never really had much of a need for Photoshop. You know, you can use your computer for other things too, like programming, creating simulations, computation, etc. Of course there are professionals who prefer Windows, but that depends on the profession. A professional might choose to drive a Chevy Impala over a Subaru Impreza WRX, but their profession most likely isn't racing.
You should be able to find any sort of plug in to render pretty much anything but if it gets really down to nitty gritty especially for clients you have no choice sometimes. When I was in college though like I said, did everything I needed to with no costly software needed, it wasnt just me giving the middle finger to conformity I really wanted to save money so I found my ways to do so.
Yes. They just released the beta a month or so ago. I'm glad to hear that you're using opengl. I look forward to seeing gaming on linux and more gaming across other platforms, not just windows.

I was thinking about moving to Linux from Windows 7. But is there a way to install cygwin in Linux? I need cygwin to run git and other tools for development.
Why would you need Cygwin under Linux? The idea of Cygwin is to bring a collection of GNU tools to Windows. Pretty much all of these tools are installed per default on Linux (depending on your distro) or can be added via package manger/manually.
So, perhaps a good way to think about it is that Linux is essentially a UI built on top of cygwin? I've always been a Windows user, and this Linux kernel stuff seems complicated. By package manager, I'm guessing this is like cygwin's installer where I can pick different packages.
After thinking more about it, I'll stick with running cygwin on Win7. In a way, cygwin is like Linux on steroids. I can run the latest and greatest Win7 apps, like Notepad++, IE11, etc. Also, cygwin just works. I've heard many war stories about Linux

Just remember to Install Windows first then Linux.. Works out better that way. If you install Windows after Linux, Windows will overwrite your boot menu that Linux has set and you will only be able to boot into Windows since its installation does not check for other OS's on your system, Unless its a Windows OS... Most Linux installers on the other hand actually take that aspect into consideration and configures the boot loader to allow you to boot into Windows or Linux or anything else.
And what if what I am looking for is not in the app portal? high/backwards compatibility and ease of installation are two of the strongest arguments for Windows.
I wish more people could understand/learn that. Not only that but Canonical (Ubuntu) is heading in a direction where they almost don't even want to mention that their operating system is a Linux operating system. One last thing.

it's sad that certain languages in europe are destroyed by that plague known as english
I think it's the parents fault for putting the children on an english school in their home country. You don't need that, on this globalized world english is everywhere. I'm also in favour of preserving the small languages and nationalities. Peace!
Language is nothing more than a tool for communication, and a tool is rated by how useful it is. Outside of Sweden and Finland, Swedish and Finish aren't useful in the slightest. The usefulness of a language is defined by how big the speaking community is, how scattered it is and how big the barrier of entrance for outsiders is. The Finish speaking community isn't thinly scattered, but it is small; so small in fact that everybody has to communicate with the outside world. The barrier of entrance is huge, meaning nobody will learn Finish if he hadn't got a really really well paying job there. In effect Finish will eventually die. Swedish's community is only double that of Finish's and the same downsides apply, so its chances of surviving history are also meager.
English on the other hand is very useful! It has a huge speaking community and a relatively low barrier of entrance. So think of it as a plague if you will, but it is a very beneficial plague. And it would be really really good for the European Union to have a unified standard language.
"But what about Japanese or Chinese? They clearly are not going to learn English!" True, because they don't have to. Japan has 13 times the population of Sweden and China accomodates for 1/7 of the world's population. Most of them have never spoken to a person outside of their country. And obviously the barrier of entrance for them is much higher that for any European. But that is also why those countries are relatively secluded. But they also aren't in any political and economic union like the European Union! And being a union obviously means being able to speak to one another.

Hey, English isn’t that bad.
@@Elite7555 but we need to preserve culture its not just about the language its about the culture/civilization that spoke
Imagine coming across a bug in Linux that prevents you from handing in your homework - and then your dad releases a fix for it.
i choose to be in the middle. i positioned the door and window side by side and had to greet the owner in English before going inside. i ❤️ linus and bill 🙏🏼
If you work on industrial system such as scada on power plant, you must learn unix/linux os.
I use Debian for my home web server. I love it.
He finds it hard to install
I recommend Lubuntu as:
- pocket OS
- playing some games in better fps
- running a server... Maybe. Idk xd
- Coding
Having used a computer for more than a decade and a half, I have never really had much of a need for Photoshop. You know, you can use your computer for other things too, like programming, creating simulations, computation, etc. Of course there are professionals who prefer Windows, but that depends on the profession. A professional might choose to drive a Chevy Impala over a Subaru Impreza WRX, but their profession most likely isn't racing.
Thank you for the relatable car analogy; now everyone here surely better understands the benefits of Linux for programmers.
thank you Linus
The actual question is asked at 2:02
All my college papers were written on open office/ libre office ftw!

Linus must pay a huge electricity bill.
You should be able to find any sort of plug in to render pretty much anything but if it gets really down to nitty gritty especially for clients you have no choice sometimes. When I was in college though like I said, did everything I needed to with no costly software needed, it wasnt just me giving the middle finger to conformity I really wanted to save money so I found my ways to do so.
What is windows?
Yes. They just released the beta a month or so ago. I'm glad to hear that you're using opengl. I look forward to seeing gaming on linux and more gaming across other platforms, not just windows. I guess thanks to windows 8, the push to bring gaming to other platforms will be greater. I hope to see more on linux than just games. I hope to see professional software such as photoshop and video editors to bring the mainstream over to the platform.

@@courier3567 you've clearly been living under a rock
@@joemann7971 how? you can't play a lot of games on linux and any game with EAC which is one of the most widely used anticheats and none of the software you are talking about is on linux just substitutes like before.
@@courier3567 most games will run on Linux now. Sure, not all of them, but most of them do. Not to mention Steams upcoming Steam Deck is Linux based. Linux has come a long way since I posted this.
@@courier3567 there are a lot more tools now to get windows apps running perfectly on Linux. I've pretty much accepted that Linux will never be as popular as windows or even mac but its certainly gained a lot more traction among power users. I haven't tried getting those two apps working on my Linux machine but I'm sure I can get them to work without resorting to alternatives.
I was still dual booting 9 years ago. I certainly don't have to anymore. There is no need for it.
Gotta love Grub. Two Operating Systems or more on one machine. :)
Gotta love qemu/kvm
@@ThatJay283 i dont think it is wise to forget how Chechinsky, Uyugyur and Milkanovic saved all those passengers on July 13th.
You use it, can I ask you if you are able, to push some money or time into developing those features which you think are missing?
Yeah, I've used Mono all the time. But not everything is compatible. There's a lot of libraries I use that aren't portable.
I was a windows fanboy, but tried Linux when I was twelve and now use it.
Are you still using it ten years later?
@@ilmionomeenessuno5504 i believe everyone will eventually be on Linux simply because it you don't like something about it, you can change it. Windows is more like for dimwits and managers

Nice. This was recommended to me 10 years late.
I don't use Windows either. It gets really dark in my room when the power goes out though...

The Original Linus Tech Tips
I was thinking about moving to Linux from Windows 7. But is there a way to install cygwin in Linux? I need cygwin to run git and other tools for development.
Why would you need Cygwin under Linux? The idea of Cygwin is to bring a collection of GNU tools to Windows. Pretty much all of these tools are installed per default on Linux (depending on your distro) or can be added via package manger/manually.
So, perhaps a good way to think about it is that Linux is essentially a UI built on top of cygwin? I've always been a Windows user, and this Linux kernel stuff seems complicated. By package manager, I'm guessing this is like cygwin's installer where I can pick different packages.
You use git and develop and ask this kind of question? Wtf?
Do you even know what git is? Or who created it? :)
Jeesus Christ, this comment is hilarious...
After thinking more about it, I'll stick with running cygwin on Win7. In a way, cygwin is like Linux on steroids. I can run the latest and greatest Win7 apps, like Notepad++, IE11, etc. Also, cygwin just works. I've heard many war stories about Linux

How i find this....
what OS they force you to use where you live?
comador basic.
I always admired how in other countries you find diversity in language, and here in latinoamerica we barely speak Spanish and just a few of us can speak English.
how could you forget the huge portuguese-speaking community and the few french-speaking countries? there are also lots of indigenous languages, some of them, like quechua and guaraní, spoken by large amounts of people
linux is the best Open office or Libre office they're both usefull and i love it! yeah! linux forever! keep it up Ma Men Linus Torvalds
He seems to be a little bit confused about where his mother came from. If what I heard is correct she was Norwegian, but worked in sweden as a powerty worker reading the bible for children of beggers in stockholm? Then she moved to finland to save finnish children according to the story. That is why she was speaking swedish at home.
Hej Linus! Hälsningar från Polen. Alltid undrade om du faktiskt talade svenska, ett språk jag verkligen gillar. Har själv bott många år i Amerika och som många av oss använder engelska dagligen. Men för det, när jag bara kan, och helst dagligen, försöker jag läsa på svenska. Om det bara blir en enstaka sida ur en dagstidning.
Are you really talking to a 10-year-old video as if the person was in front of you? That's kinda weird.

I really dislike Windows. It's a very insecure OS and if I could I wouldn't use it at all. The only reason I use it is for gaming.
+Dogstep Ya, its also very annoying. And the most annoying thing in windows is the ' has stopped working '.
+444suse Linux is my favorite!
But which one I should choose?
Kali Linux
Ubuntu
CentOS
+Kartikey Kushwaha Don't use kali, it runs as root and isn't optimized for anyone other than a pentester. CentOS is generally for servers. Ubuntu if fine, check out the other flavors such as kubuntu, Ubuntu gnome, and xubuntu. There is also other distros such as manjaro and mint. but if you are new, you might want to check out the Ubuntu flavors and find which you like best
***** Why not Ubuntu?
***** Is Fedora a good OS? I've never used it.
_"Windows?"_ *WE DON'T DO THAT HERE!*
what is that expression suppose to mean.
obviously. But seeing how Mono doesn't have all certain classes I use, it makes it difficult to use it. So like I said
Just remember to Install Windows first then Linux.. Works out better that way. If you install Windows after Linux, Windows will overwrite your boot menu that Linux has set and you will only be able to boot into Windows since its installation does not check for other OS's on your system, Unless its a Windows OS... Most Linux installers on the other hand actually take that aspect into consideration and configures the boot loader to allow you to boot into Windows or Linux or anything else.
still the case lmao
@@jimmyneutron129propably the case after another 11 years
Whoa, Linus talking about himself endlessly..never seen that before.
And what if what I am looking for is not in the app portal? high/backwards compatibility and ease of installation are two of the strongest arguments for Windows.
try gparted and google on resizing partitions using gparted.
I wish more people could understand/learn that. Not only that but Canonical (Ubuntu) is heading in a direction where they almost don't even want to mention that their operating system is a Linux operating system.
One last thing. Ubuntu is starting to smell more and more like MacOS.
There are a lot of good Linux operating systems out there. Debian being one of them :)
"Ubuntu is starting to smell more and more like MacOS."
Not even close
what mean GNU?
Dam Truong A wild beast. As wild as Richard Stallman's beard.
+Dam Truong It's another nerdy wordplay; where an abbreviation is used as a word; GNU = "Gnu is Not Unix". It's the same thing with "Wine" = Wine Is Not an Emulator
My Hero 😊❤
Great, Torvalds! When Linus Torvalds will use only Kali linux??
