Steam ProtonDB is a game changer. I have like 20 steam games and all of them work on Linux, no hiccups or issues. Even the Bioware Mass Effect games work on Steam.
Let's join the Linux authority of Ubuntu Diamond, Fedora Diamond, Arch Diamond and the great Gentoo Diamond. Windows is fine, IOS & MacOS is horse crap, Android and ChromeOS great cuz Linux, BSD decent but we shall The Linux Authority supreme peak.
@@revapzDisclaimer: This is my understanding of how a Kernel level Anticheat works, might contain misinformation. A Kernel Level Anticheat (KLA, or Level-0 AntiCheat) is different from "regular" AntiCheat like EAC or BattlEye. The "regular" AntiCheat only runs, while the software is running, protecting the software from third-party mods/cheats, which alters the softwares code. A Level-0 anticheat (referred to as a KLA) works differently, as it is running as a System-Service on your device, no matter if the game is running or not (it gets started on the OS-Boot). This allows the KLA to monitor low-level cheats, which alter the softwares reserved memory space. Since the KLA is running as a system service, injecting into the memory space of the software is hardly possible. (I don't say it's impossible, there may be ways to go around, but hardly). To pass around a KLA, it is possible to use so-called "offline-cheats". Seperate hardware, which analyze the memory-space before the KLA triggers on a different machine. This however is more expensive, since you need additional hardware and a deep understanding of how a computer works. While many gamers don't care about a KLA, since "It just works", the KLA could be used by the company to additionally collect data of you. Since many users already use Windoze and use the phrase "I don't have anything to hide", those users don't care, if their data is being collected and sold. But if you value your privacy, stay away from games with a KLA (and best from Windoze).
@@revapzwithout using toolkits for kernel driver analysis and debugging, other user-mode apps won’t be able to trace what this anricheat is doing. It can just send your whole traffic, files from all hard drives and much more to some shady corpos. You can never be sure, if anticheat devs literally sell every byte of information that your pc possess to someone. And it’s only one reason, there are more. Hidden adware, traffic modification, cdn injections, url tracing, remote access, fed backdoors, anything, and you won’t be able to detect it if you’re not a real genius professional.
@Ralphunreal When did I say I'm gonna use emulation? I'm never gonna play a game if it has kernel anticheat. On Windows or on Linux. Others may like it, not for me.
Rember: Windows doesn't have more games because it is good; it has more games because it is popular. If the popularity drops, you'll see macOS and Linux get tons of games. Damn, consoles could be worth it again too!
@@roa4031 How about required subscription for consoles to have internet connected? Or games price? (example, elden is always more expensive on PS5 than on PC) Or the amount of free games and games in total? How about hardware upgrades? (I managed to match PS4 and PS5 with one PC, needed 1 GPU upgrade but the total cost was not much higher than two consoles bought when they were "current gen", maybe $100?) PC gaming is cheaper - by A LOT. Your perception is just very shallow.
Lol, because of backward compatibility issue (basically you will lose all your previous purchases, for an empty app store..) 90% of the users will say no thanks.. and that is still the majority, developers will never choose the platform with low market share.. because the reacheable users are their pozential profit.. what do you think where you can get more money, where are 95% of the users or where are the 5%? And even if developers choose a new environment for their work, that will be the MacOS with about yearly 300million gameing capable devices sale (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop use, and can run the same source code natively), and also the Apple app store is the most profitable store on the planet (don't forget the store earning is the 15-30% cut from the price, if that is more, than the remain 85-70% is more too like in other stores, even if the Google store have higher amount of users, the piracy there is also insane, so the store and the developers are earn less like at Apple..) So why would anybody choose the Linux with almost zero market share when they can develop apps for Apple, who alone earn more money in the store like the Google + Playstation + Steam store together, so the devs are also earn more (less piracy is more profit for the devs too, not just for Apple..)
Mr. Bill(Billing)Baits won't allow it. Why so? To maintain Monopoly of OS. And as for now, u must install n run WinNo 11 to install Linux. So, how do u fix datto?
Well it is more than a fork of Wine: for each game, Proton manually gets the set of specific resources needed, will download and install them for each game you install via this method. That is up to the editor's choice to make a custom script just for Proton, if I'm not mistaken.
What's really doing the heavy lifting in Proton is something called DXVK. All it does is translate Direct3D calls to Vulkan, it's so simple but so effective. If it didn't exist, Proton wouldn't exist...
@@ID10T_ERROR_ Steam ProtonDB is a game changer. You can now play any windows game and it can run just about 98 percent of all steam games. Just be sure to update to the latest version and it'll do its magic. Proton also allows you to launch bioware games and the bioware launcher simultaneously, but you can only do that via purchasing the bioware games via steam and installing it. The trick is to use "Proton Experimental" for the first time after each game install and launch for the first time. After that, switching to latest Proton version which I believe is Proton 9.0-2
Yeah it's crazy every printer I've had needed some extra software on windows that worked out of the box on Linux. Weird since a lot of things do require more tweaking on linux
We've been debating for years that Linux is superior. The real issue, in my opinion, is that major companies like Adobe and Riot are simply, yes, foolish, and they HATE LINUX. Additionally, engineering companies like Autodesk don't fully support Linux. People tend to prioritize their money, comfort, and gaming experiences over their privacy. Instead of telling people, "Switch to Linux! The time has come!" it would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux. After this post, I don't want to be seen as a Windows supporter. I am, in fact, a strong advocate for Linux, but we can't reach a solution by ignoring the facts. We must accept reality and work to improve it. We need to push application developers to support Linux. The Linux market needs less fragmentation, more widespread application repositories, more stable releases, and more standardized file formats so that a developer doesn't have to create software for Debian, Debian-based distributions, Red Hat, Red Hat-based distributions, Arch-based distributions, and so on. For instance, the "yay" package manager in Arch is very useful. Similarly, "apt" in Debian is extensive and relatively easy to use. What I'm trying to say is that starting a big Linux revolution with a common package installer across all Linux distributions could grant people freedom. Linux already meets your needs in every way. If you're not satisfied with a package manager, you can change it later. It's your computer, so only you can decide what's best for it. And please, don't tell me why these package managers don't work on other distributions. I know that. I'm not suggesting we make the 'yay' library work perfectly on Ubuntu or every other distribution. What I'm saying is that, even if it means creating a new package manager, we need one that works optimally across all distributions. This way, people will be less fearful and more free when choosing a distribution. As I mentioned earlier, this package manager should be replaceable if desired. This might seem contrary to the Linux philosophy, but think about how we can improve. Even if you argue that this isn't the issue, admit that someone willing to give up all Windows applications might still be confused when they can't apply what they learned on Arch to Debian and have to start a new learning process. This is completely inefficient. Furthermore, before recommending Linux, you should advise people to practice in a virtual machine to prevent data loss on their systems. Most Linux distributions don't limit you in ways that Windows might. Instead, when you say, "Hello, Linux, let's wipe my system," the response will be, "Just become root." Moreover, a wrong command can damage your drivers because you have the power to modify them. When you talk about the expansiveness and customizability of Linux, you must also mention its potential downsides. In short, my personal view is that in these times of high computer illiteracy, which is unfortunately normal (though it shouldn't be), if these people switch to Linux, they'll likely slow themselves down, reduce their capabilities, and mess up their systems. Before blaming Microsoft, we should look in the mirror and ask why so many mistakes are made and why, despite these issues, Windows remains the most popular operating system for personal use worldwide. We need to understand why people prefer Windows and work on correcting our mistakes.
By the way, when I said in my comment 'It would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux,' I meant, for example, you mentioned Wine but didn't talk about how to install it or any additional settings. I'm not saying you should do that, by the way; I think your video was highly unnecessary. Telling people to switch to Linux for a feature in Windows is clearly disrupting their work and comfort. How can we invite them to Linux when it's not providing a 100% benefit and might even cause harm? This makes us look bad and breaks trust in our community. Lastly, telling people to switch to Linux by giving up some applications and accepting alternatives is also damaging to the community. This should be acknowledged.
Companies that develop software that my school needs and don't really care about Linux is probably the reason why I'm on Windows. Hopefully I can get on Linux once I get a better PC with plenty of time to setup.
@@TheEnglandBall-lol LOL, you're missing out. I stopped using Windows six months ago and daily drive my linux os. It's snappier and faster than windows. And I can play all my windows steam games on linux with no issues. Actually some games run faster on it than windows.

People notice, but find that the data is not going out to the internet; so people let their guard down.. Several months, or maybe a year or two later, MS decides, quietly, to "back that data up to the cloud", you know, to protect your AI data.. You don't really notice because your multi-gig network connection does things so fast, or the data is transmitted while you are not using your computer.. hmm. Once that data is collected, well, its' MS's data, which by the way, they can sell to whomever they decide to.. hmm.
3:45 unironically most printers run fine when you just select the generic IPP printer driver, unlike windows' convoluted way to install driver software
because windows drivers gives you dedicated software unlike linux drivers, imagine using printer to print, you mix colors, you do a lot of other stuff with it, without software it's a rock
As both linux and windows user i can agree to the things mentioned. However, theres a couple things you need to know more about linux, linux is like your own operating system, you have full control but might aswell be careful, things can break here an there, and theres always a way to fix it. But if you value your time and want something that just works fine everytime, well i think its better for you to stick with windows. Linux does works fine, but sometimes in some occasion it breaks, it happens, so prepare yourself for it.
Never broken in 20 years of use and even power break causes little problem. I use the command line nearly everyday Never had the equivalent of the Blue screen of death. About only thing I don’t do is gaming( not because I can’t just not interested)
If you value your time use Windows is hilarious to me. But I’ve been working in IT for more than a quarter of a century. Let’s just say: You’re mileage may vary, wildly.
Just switched to Linux 24 years ago, I'm still watching how things go without the virus, the blue screen, the HD fragmentation, the lack of choices, the freezings, the total disrespect to the consumer rights... until now I'm liking... A LOT!!! 🥰❤️🌟🐧
I installed Fedora today. I struggled for a bit here and there during the process, but now that I configured and customized everything it works like a charm!
On-and-off Linux user since mid 90s. Turns old laptops back into useful tools. Learning C and Perl using Raspberry PiOS. Finally switched the streaming PC from Win11 to Mint 21.3 in May and everything works so much better I regret not doing it sooner. Take back control of your desktop.
@@grassblock351 I’m on a low bandwidth connection and was always dropping 25-30% of my frames during streams under Win11; this is not happening under Linux. Had problems with response times (lag/delay) that have also noticeably diminished. Memory management appears to have improved; using about 25% less RAM under Linux than under Win11 with the same set of applications running.
@Kroooza Windows is not even close to how bad that device in your pocket that has microphones, cameras and GPS to name a few. Your phone's OS is even more locked down and many don't get updates after 2 years. Don't cope.
@@V1CT1MIZED 😲 what about that device on my desk that has microphones, a camera, and gps to name a few? it also uses windows which is absolutely shit and just about every update introduces security risks.
Please, If you wish to move to Linux, start with Mint with a Cinnamon DE (Desktop Environment) as a beginner in a VM (Virtual Machine). It's painless. So, if something goes wrong, it will be in a sandbox. Or just put an image on a usb flash drive if you only want to get the feel for it. Almost everything you'll need to get started is either pre-installed or can be downloaded from the app store.
I apologize in advance for my bad English, I am not fluent in it and have to use Deepl. My personal opinion is that the first distribution should be Arch or similar, which have sufficiently detailed documentation. This will deprive a beginner of many problems with understanding the operating system, while distributions positioning themselves as "user-friendly" do not allow you to familiarize yourself with their internals.
@@Phantom_of_Makhnovshchina I agree, at least for people who are a bit more tech savvy. People say arch is intimidating, it really isn't. Archinstall script makes it extremely easy to install, and the pacman commands are super easy to remember. And if you have any trouble, the documentation is amazing and there are tons of forum posts with helpful info. Arch is king.
I've switched to Linux Mint on my main PC almost a month and I'm happy with it overall. Definitely much better than being under the mercy of Microsoft and putting up with their endless shenanigans. This also encouraged my little brother to switch to Linux as well :).
just changed from Ubuntu to Mint after leaving Windows last year, I think it is better for newbies but I have had to resolve a couple of issues related to unapproved flatpaks - I removed and downloaded the tar.gv and went from there
@@pantarei. i already did, i use this smartphone just to surf youtube that's it nothing else no insta but yeah whatsapp cuz my university use whatsapp so there's nothing i can do but yeah I will make a program that will forward messages from whatsapp to telegram ^^
Man I love paying 50-100$ for Wİndows licenses for each computer I buy! I sure hope that a free and open source operating system does not replace Windows.
Printers really don't use drivers. Printers use filters. The file is translated into a format the printer can understand. Printers speak languages. Like say PCL which is the Printer Command Language. So that's what's really going on. Then there's Ghostscript which is a software implementation of Postscript. Although some printers handle Postscript natively.
I was also thinking the same. Maybe because they work on every distro. But should've used apt/pacman/rpm first and if not available then flatpack or snap.
it will just be there...benign.....until a (secret) update makes it malignant... and the unsuspecting user will not know about it.... until its too late....
Don't care. The fact that they wanted to do it in the first place is enough for me. For a $200 ransom, er, license fee, I will NOT be told how I can and cannot use the personal computer *I* ( NOT Microshaft ) paid $3000 to build. I turned off updates over a year ago because of Microshaft and their bullshit. I will NOT have them doing whatever they please with my files. I've already heard from the handful of people that write access to their files has been restricted.
@@anotherpotato0 or are like me and have some hardware dont wont out of the box and dont want to do all the complicate step to fix the issue ... when windows 11 work fine at least for me for now
If you worry about privacy then don’t go online. Every company spies on you. Your phone collects the most data. Linux is great but like most companies they sell your data too. Ain’t nothing free.
In my opinion, the best distro for those coming from Windows and Mac, I recommend trying: Big Linux, a Brazilian distro based on Manjaro and Arch, very friendly and simple to use, with everything you need.
Everyone be talking how the worst linux distro still eats my Windows 11 and how stupid I am to even use Windows in 2024 but then give me a copy of Linux that can run all dozen of my Windows software and games effortlessly, without any bugs or optimization issues, that can 100% utilize all aspects of my GPU i paid whole lotta money for so i can still enjoy playing my Cyberpunk on RT settings with frame gen without any lag while talking to friends on dc and clipping stuff with Nvidia Share. I am waiting for response. And no, I am not going waste time installing 120 drivers and DirectX emulators just to play game that i can play with just one click on Windows.
If you WANT to use windows and NOT linux here is a another work around. 1. downgrade to windows 10 2. Downgrade to windows 7 3. Just don't update your windows (yes this can be done, but might be complex) 4. Get a Macbook
Although I already moved to Linux completly about 20 years ago, I highly appreciate it that you promote Linux in this video. At that days, when I moved to Linux, people were laughing at me but maybe now, 20 years later, they begin to understand me. Some of us need a little bit longer to understand.
My Framework laptop is a dual boot Mint / Zorin machine with a 2tb M. 2 SSD. Best of both worlds. A fully repairable/upgradeable laptop with open source OS's . Plus I saved $139 by ordering the Framework with the Winblows delete option.
I am a Linux gamer. In my usecase, 100% of my Steam/GOG games work. I use "Pop_OS!" (nvidia version) as my distro as everything just works. I switched to KDE though as I don't like gnome, I dont notice a performance hit between the two. System76 (online store for Linux PCs) makes Pop_OS, so that will be my next PC. So long Microsoft, and thanks for the fish.
The 5 games I play work perfectly, I have absolutely no reason to even pretend to use windows. I likely couldn't afford to install it on all my computers anyways. 😂
In your case? Yeah, in my case that would end up in 100h+ marathon to get them working (simracing), not to mention the wheel that might snap my hands if the linux driver is buggy (and im not even sure if there is one) and then not being able to access since it will think Im a cheater (iRacing, maybe some other games as well). No thank you.
@@ThePsycho211 Very specific niche user case, which everyone comes up with while justifying getting screwed by windblows. Mine was "but mY One gAme no Wurk". But I eventually realized if we don't use it there will never be drivers or anything forever. In the end 20 years later my game works. Remember that your wheels and gizmos don't work because the people you bought it from didn't make any drivers which isn't the fault of the operating system.
I politely disagree. I think it's better for people to know what they're getting into, so they're not blindsided and put off because they didn't know what they were getting into.
Only 4% of the universe is using Linux out of their mom's basement, Microsoft Windows is the only option we have in the meantime until something takes over the corporate world.
Great video! but, in my opinion, depending on the needs (like some of mines), when you already has the knowledge to do so, it is easier to fight against and disable the windows features we don't want, rather than learning Linux.
No it is not. It is way more difficult to try to debloat and remove telemetry from a busted OS than to install something that plain works without all that effort. Even if you take every precaution imaginable, Windows isn't FOSS so you will never really know what they're sending back and what they aren't. You can only guess.
Another Linux fanboy trying to find an excuse to make you use what he wants. And no, I'm not saying W11 is great... But there are more than just "one" Windows operating system in existence, like a Windows 10 for example. Surprise! What a plot-twist...
That is the most airhead take I've ever heard. Even on Windows you have to use the command line at times, does that somehow make it a non-mainstream OS?
To be fair this isn't any different from what google apple does to you me personally linux is terrible for my specific needs so I'm stay with Microsoft but good video entirely to alerting more about how much company's spy on you.
I am not smart enough or hard-working enough to use Linux, but I do support the freedom fighters that keep Linux alive as an counter-weight to Microsoft.
My daily use of Linux comes from my steam deck. I have started using it as my desktop computer and have had no issues to speak of. Most of my daily computing is done on my iPad, so for slightly heavier, lifting I use my sting deck.
I continue watching videos about Linux like this one and it keeps giving me mental pain I'm a game developer, I work in an industry that pretty much completely ignores Linux. You can now build your games for Linux, but you can only go fuck yourself if you want to use Linux to build said games I have no ability to use anything but Windows, and I think it'll stay this way for many years to come
it only made sense to switch to Linux full time: router, AP, photo downloader (pi), home made NAS (pi), server (Ubuntu), all run on Linux. Am using PopOS and haven't had the need to switch back to windows. It just works!
I've been looking to switch, but I play a lot of Virtual Reality games. :( I've heard VR is really hard to get working on Linux. What Distro would you recommend for someone like me? (I mainly use a Quest 3. I have an Index...but it's got a bunch of dead pixels so I've been avoiding using it until it gets fixed.) I also sadly use the Adobe suite.
Can I play all my games? No. Can I run all the software I need? No. Can I configure all of my hardware and peripherals? No. Fix that, then get back to me.
Why did it take this for people to realize Microsoft was doing this? They've been doing it since Cortana, even longer. Just because people suddenly don't like whatever's considered AI now.
Seriously though I can't find any kind of guide for what hardware to get if I want to build a rock solid Linux box. People rush to say "Linux works on almost anything!" until it has an obscure seemingly random bug that only shows up in daily use or something is completely unsupported and needs to be removed.
Because it does in most cases. Just stay away from latest hardware as it will take some time for Linux to support them. Make sure what Kernel version your distro have and choose any distro with latest Kernal (fedora and Mx Linux for example). Nvidia hardware may cause some issue. Hybrid graphics may cause some issue but it's fixable in most cases. And importantly not all distro works well with all hardware. So if some distro does not work for you, switch to something else. And is you are beginner after installing any distro watch videos or read articles on things to do after installing that distro. Googling something goes a long way

The Linux pill is a little tough to swallow, given my experience with Mint was bad enough to put launch Windows 11 to shame (refusal to use controllers, Bluetooth not working, audio was super crackly, Proton just did not wanna work, and all of this was after everything was up to date, and I wasnt even on NVidia) I am happy I had the foresight to get my hands on Windows 11 Pro so I could at least attempt to do something about stuff like Copilot/Recall/80% of forced Telemetry. I understand that my case is not the universal one, so I get the nudge to Linux as an option, but for me, Linux as a daily driver is just simply not there yet
In 3 months, "Why I switched back to Windows". Linux is a sink hole for your time. I expect things to work without having to spend 2 hours trying to figure out which dependency, driver or whatever else I'm missing. Plug and play, that is the Windows experience, and most people complaining about Windows and switching to Linux learn it the hard way. Besides, recall is not as bad as people think it is, at least once they will have encrypted the recall database on the system. If you are concerned about privacy, stop using big techs software or services all together. Good luck with that.
that why i cant switch to linux now, but once i got a laptop or computer who work out of the box on linux i might switch. i dont want to search hours and hours on how to install wifi driver and use ethernet as ethernet is pretty incoveniant on a laptop
I don't understand why people like yourself speak so confidently about this as if you know. You don't know. If you're ready to surrender your privacy to big tech, go ahead, but don't blame it on Linux, which is a perfectly serviceable OS. Blame it on your own passiveness and unwillingness to learn, despite how easy it actually is.
If you are unfamiliar with an OS and lack skills then things can take time to figure out. But that's more a you problem than a shortcoming of the OS. I can list out every library a binary is linked to in milliseconds. Which is far from 2 hours. Linux has a command that'll do exactly that. I know what it is too. Drivers can be more time consuming.
In a Linux comradeship, Windows users are considered novice, and its the same community that suggests Windows users to switch to Linux that was never meant to be a desktop operating system. This is ironic and for most new Linux users, the affair with the Tux is pretty much over when they want to install a software not bundled with the distort. Enter The Terminal.
Linux just sucks for anything other than browsing the web and programming. And NAW, i ain't using libri office or whatever that dollar tree version is. Literally nothing works on linux including all games, and NO im not gonna use wine and NO im not gonna use proton which crashes atleast 2 mins after starting the game due to a missing dll. I've experienced all this shit and gave up after like a week. Windows/Mac all the way to go! Community sucks too btw. Linux users just appear in ANY os discussion whether is about windows or mac. They just linux to mask up the fact that they have like 2008 hardware or something. And the trumpcard of any linux user (on the internet) is "bloat" or "spyware". Like, who actually cares? For businesses? NO. Enterprise always has disabled telemetry. If you use linux, great! go for it! but if you wanna boast about it or just appear in any discussion that is NOT related to linux, nothing to say.

@@ID10T_ERROR_Good man. I made the switch for the same reasons. Even if recall is disabled by default, Microsoft’s track record has always been “enabled when we want” due to windows update being able to change your registry settings. Fuck these clowns.
using "privacy" as a main reason to ditch windows is almost stupid in 2024. you lost your privacy the moment you browsed on the web on any browsing capable device. The only issue I see with windows recal is if they use it to catch people committing piracy as if they weren't already capable of doing so already without recal..(which hasnt happened from my knowledge). As for copilot, it,s a very useful tool and that is a fact not an opinion, if it gives wrong answers its generally because you suck at promt engineering. To deny it and say its "useless" and its just windows "bloatware" is a just a blind stupid take.
BIG QUESTION: I am noticing the vast majority of new laptops by the major computer manufacturers are replacing the Right Control key with an AI Copilot key. WHY?!
The reason they won't work is because you are not allowed to play it, not because of the file system, you can play most of them like apex, elden ring GTA5
I tried switching to linux and it worked about as well as my years old windows 11 install. Which is to say drivers were broken, random things didn't work, and it seemed like I needed to go into the os files to make a small settings tweak. A fresh windows 10 install worked fine however.
Terminal? What's this? I'm on linux mint now and the only time I needed to use the terminal for something I couldn't do with a gui was to source-build an old program, but I probably could've found a gui program to do that too.
I dont understand how this even checks out, companies use windows and its literally a local acess to everything that has ever been done in the pc, thats beyond a security issue
I am 'done' as you say over there, after 4 decades using M at work and home! I have just purchased 'Linux in Easy Steps' and loaded Linux Mint 22 on to a flash drive to change my desktop and laptop for a hopefully much happier 72 year old's experience! I have zero interest in games, just want to order groceries weekly and stuff to my door from Azn (just about daily), pay my household bills and pass the remaining time on UT without the ever worse Windows carry-on.
Don't get too excited. Linux is not for most people. Linux on laptop is quite bad. Too many drivers issues. Go ahead and give it a try. But don't be surprised if it has issues for you and you want to switch back to Windows.

But with Windows, there is a chance and many softwares to do this for ntfs or other storage format of usb drives and sd card. -Many laptops have no Linux drivers, like webcams, microphones, wifi, and gpu. You have to buy a popular USA brand like Dell or HP to use Linux without driver problems (which means buying a famous laptop in both brand and model). Even if you find the driver for the device, you still lack the software if the driver comes with it. -in games Not just anti-cheat is going to bother you if you are someone who doesn't use a mouse or keyboard for every game. You will have to configure your controllers. If you have a cheap controller, there are many community tools to configure it, and if you have an expensive one, you have software from the manufacturer, but both are available in Windows. I never could or saw a sim racing setup runs on Linux; also not everyone is buying games from Steam to use the mapping option; steam is not working with every controller BTW. dont worry, each windows problem has fix, in 2014 i was saying windows is done but just after year used windows again.
these days if you're silly enough to only have one copy of anything and delete it, regardless of the system you use that's your fault. I've not had to use undelete software for well over twenty five years because I keep duplicates of everything on different computers, cloud services or my own NAS. My duplication methods have become more complex over the years. I lost some at the time important to me files that I'd still like to have (Doom 2 levels I entered into a competition) when my PC's drive died. Then the magazine folded so I couldn't request my files back. Months of work lost on levels for a game I still play. I can recreate them, but not exactly, and the editor I used no longer works. I knew someone who lost the files for his Ph.D thesis just before he was due to submit it. This happened a few months after I started mine, eight years after I lost those files, so well into my file loss paranoia. He wasn't allowed any more funding, so had to leave and write it all over again from home. A pretty dumb thing to do really.

I installed Ubuntu 24 and I back to Windows after 24h, very bad font rendering, glitch, lags, once my PC is freeze I must do press restart button to get back it to work, after that I try Arch and same, all is very bad, Linux is very bad OS I don't know how people can use this s. But also I don't thing that Recall is problem because looks we never can official get it, need to have some supported CPU for that, but also maybe you need to make video how spying you your mobile phone that is most dangerous things. Windows users will never switch to Linux because Windows is working very good now and also strange but MS decide to focus more on Developers now, this means all what I can do on Linux i can do same and better on MS Windows now, WSL2 and Dev Drive is amazing things for users who need that.

remember fellas, if the game has kernel level anticheat, dont touch that game.
Truing lmao
Why tho?
@@revapzDisclaimer: This is my understanding of how a Kernel level Anticheat works, might contain misinformation.
A Kernel Level Anticheat (KLA, or Level-0 AntiCheat) is different from "regular" AntiCheat like EAC or BattlEye. The "regular" AntiCheat only runs, while the software is running, protecting the software from third-party mods/cheats, which alters the softwares code.
A Level-0 anticheat (referred to as a KLA) works differently, as it is running as a System-Service on your device, no matter if the game is running or not (it gets started on the OS-Boot). This allows the KLA to monitor low-level cheats, which alter the softwares reserved memory space. Since the KLA is running as a system service, injecting into the memory space of the software is hardly possible. (I don't say it's impossible, there may be ways to go around, but hardly).
To pass around a KLA, it is possible to use so-called "offline-cheats". Seperate hardware, which analyze the memory-space before the KLA triggers on a different machine. This however is more expensive, since you need additional hardware and a deep understanding of how a computer works.
While many gamers don't care about a KLA, since "It just works", the KLA could be used by the company to additionally collect data of you. Since many users already use Windoze and use the phrase "I don't have anything to hide", those users don't care, if their data is being collected and sold.
But if you value your privacy, stay away from games with a KLA (and best from Windoze).

Considering the price of gaming PC, console is better.
@@roa4031 How about required subscription for consoles to have internet connected? Or games price? (example, elden is always more expensive on PS5 than on PC) Or the amount of free games and games in total? How about hardware upgrades? (I managed to match PS4 and PS5 with one PC, needed 1 GPU upgrade but the total cost was not much higher than two consoles bought when they were "current gen", maybe $100?) PC gaming is cheaper - by A LOT. Your perception is just very shallow.
The more people switch to Linux, the more software and games will be developed for it🧠
Exactly why we should switch ASAP.
Lol, because of backward compatibility issue (basically you will lose all your previous purchases, for an empty app store..) 90% of the users will say no thanks.. and that is still the majority, developers will never choose the platform with low market share.. because the reacheable users are their pozential profit.. what do you think where you can get more money, where are 95% of the users or where are the 5%? And even if developers choose a new environment for their work, that will be the MacOS with about yearly 300million gameing capable devices sale (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop use, and can run the same source code natively), and also the Apple app store is the most profitable store on the planet (don't forget the store earning is the 15-30% cut from the price, if that is more, than the remain 85-70% is more too like in other stores, even if the Google store have higher amount of users, the piracy there is also insane, so the store and the developers are earn less like at Apple..) So why would anybody choose the Linux with almost zero market share when they can develop apps for Apple, who alone earn more money in the store like the Google + Playstation + Steam store together, so the devs are also earn more (less piracy is more profit for the devs too, not just for Apple..)
+ more malware will be developed for linux - this is the negative side.

Correction, Proton is Valve's fork of Wine, that is made to support a wide variety of games, and is the reason they could do Linux on the steam deck.
Ahh... I see
Well it is more than a fork of Wine: for each game, Proton manually gets the set of specific resources needed, will download and install them for each game you install via this method.
That is up to the editor's choice to make a custom script just for Proton, if I'm not mistaken.
Hmm... Interesting
What's really doing the heavy lifting in Proton is something called DXVK.
All it does is translate Direct3D calls to Vulkan, it's so simple but so effective.
If it didn't exist, Proton wouldn't exist...
@@ID10T_ERROR_ Steam ProtonDB is a game changer. You can now play any windows game and it can run just about 98 percent of all steam games. Just be sure to update to the latest version and it'll do its magic. Proton also allows you to launch bioware games and the bioware launcher simultaneously, but you can only do that via purchasing the bioware games via steam and installing it. The trick is to use "Proton Experimental" for the first time after each game install and launch for the first time. After that, switching to latest Proton version which I believe is Proton 9.0-2
actually, as far as I know, printers tend to work better on Linux than on Windows.
I did not know that!
I had a printer that refused to use aftermatket cartridges unless I was using Linux lol...
Yeah it's crazy every printer I've had needed some extra software on windows that worked out of the box on Linux.
Weird since a lot of things do require more tweaking on linux
That's actually funny XD
XD
We've been debating for years that Linux is superior. The real issue, in my opinion, is that major companies like Adobe and Riot are simply, yes, foolish, and they HATE LINUX. Additionally, engineering companies like Autodesk don't fully support Linux. People tend to prioritize their money, comfort, and gaming experiences over their privacy. Instead of telling people, "Switch to Linux! The time has come!" it would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux.
After this post, I don't want to be seen as a Windows supporter. I am, in fact, a strong advocate for Linux, but we can't reach a solution by ignoring the facts. We must accept reality and work to improve it. We need to push application developers to support Linux.
The Linux market needs less fragmentation, more widespread application repositories, more stable releases, and more standardized file formats so that a developer doesn't have to create software for Debian, Debian-based distributions, Red Hat, Red Hat-based distributions, Arch-based distributions, and so on. For instance, the "yay" package manager in Arch is very useful. Similarly, "apt" in Debian is extensive and relatively easy to use. What I'm trying to say is that starting a big Linux revolution with a common package installer across all Linux distributions could grant people freedom.
Linux already meets your needs in every way. If you're not satisfied with a package manager, you can change it later. It's your computer, so only you can decide what's best for it. And please, don't tell me why these package managers don't work on other distributions. I know that. I'm not suggesting we make the 'yay' library work perfectly on Ubuntu or every other distribution. What I'm saying is that, even if it means creating a new package manager, we need one that works optimally across all distributions. This way, people will be less fearful and more free when choosing a distribution. As I mentioned earlier, this package manager should be replaceable if desired.
This might seem contrary to the Linux philosophy, but think about how we can improve. Even if you argue that this isn't the issue, admit that someone willing to give up all Windows applications might still be confused when they can't apply what they learned on Arch to Debian and have to start a new learning process. This is completely inefficient.
Furthermore, before recommending Linux, you should advise people to practice in a virtual machine to prevent data loss on their systems. Most Linux distributions don't limit you in ways that Windows might. Instead, when you say, "Hello, Linux, let's wipe my system," the response will be, "Just become root." Moreover, a wrong command can damage your drivers because you have the power to modify them. When you talk about the expansiveness and customizability of Linux, you must also mention its potential downsides.
In short, my personal view is that in these times of high computer illiteracy, which is unfortunately normal (though it shouldn't be), if these people switch to Linux, they'll likely slow themselves down, reduce their capabilities, and mess up their systems. Before blaming Microsoft, we should look in the mirror and ask why so many mistakes are made and why, despite these issues, Windows remains the most popular operating system for personal use worldwide. We need to understand why people prefer Windows and work on correcting our mistakes.
By the way, when I said in my comment 'It would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux,' I meant, for example, you mentioned Wine but didn't talk about how to install it or any additional settings. I'm not saying you should do that, by the way; I think your video was highly unnecessary. Telling people to switch to Linux for a feature in Windows is clearly disrupting their work and comfort. How can we invite them to Linux when it's not providing a 100% benefit and might even cause harm? This makes us look bad and breaks trust in our community. Lastly, telling people to switch to Linux by giving up some applications and accepting alternatives is also damaging to the community. This should be acknowledged.
I second this
They hate myseld cuz with windows it is easier for them to sell our data to chinese companies
Companies that develop software that my school needs and don't really care about Linux is probably the reason why I'm on Windows. Hopefully I can get on Linux once I get a better PC with plenty of time to setup.

Linux does works fine, but sometimes in some occasion it breaks, it happens, so prepare yourself for it.

Please, If you wish to move to Linux, start with Mint with a Cinnamon DE (Desktop Environment) as a beginner in a VM (Virtual Machine). It's painless. So, if something goes wrong, it will be in a sandbox. Or just put an image on a usb flash drive if you only want to get the feel for it. Almost everything you'll need to get started is either pre-installed or can be downloaded from the app store.
True!
I apologize in advance for my bad English, I am not fluent in it and have to use Deepl.
My personal opinion is that the first distribution should be Arch or similar, which have sufficiently detailed documentation. This will deprive a beginner of many problems with understanding the operating system, while distributions positioning themselves as "user-friendly" do not allow you to familiarize yourself with their internals.

@@ThePsycho211 Very specific niche user case, which everyone comes up with while justifying getting screwed by windblows. Mine was "but mY One gAme no Wurk". But I eventually realized if we don't use it there will never be drivers or anything forever. In the end 20 years later my game works. Remember that your wheels and gizmos don't work because the people you bought it from didn't make any drivers which isn't the fault of the operating system.
I dont mind switching to linux. But I felt like this video was more of a list of reasons NOT to switch to Linux instead of the opposite
I politely disagree. I think it's better for people to know what they're getting into, so they're not blindsided and put off because they didn't know what they were getting into.
Only 4% of the universe is using Linux out of their mom's basement, Microsoft Windows is the only option we have in the meantime until something takes over the corporate world.

It's been a month since I started using Linux, Loving it. My first choice of distro was KDE Neon but then migrated to Ubuntu
I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Great video! but, in my opinion, depending on the needs (like some of mines), when you already has the knowledge to do so, it is easier to fight against and disable the windows features we don't want, rather than learning Linux.
That's true! Planning on doing a video bout that as well.
No it is not. It is way more difficult to try to debloat and remove telemetry from a busted OS than to install something that plain works without all that effort. Even if you take every precaution imaginable, Windows isn't FOSS so you will never really know what they're sending back and what they aren't. You can only guess.
Another Linux fanboy trying to find an excuse to make you use what he wants.
And no, I'm not saying W11 is great... But there are more than just "one" Windows operating system in existence, like a Windows 10 for example. Surprise! What a plot-twist...
Bruh...I use Windows 😂
Windows users really like spywares are they
I would happily switch to linux if I can play AAA games on Linux without any other app to make those run
Wine doesn't affect performance
When Linux ELIMINATES the need to use a command of any kind, ever. Then it's a mainstream OS.
Sad but maybe true
That is the most airhead take I've ever heard. Even on Windows you have to use the command line at times, does that somehow make it a non-mainstream OS?

I am not smart enough or hard-working enough to use Linux, but I do support the freedom fighters that keep Linux alive as an counter-weight to Microsoft.
My daily use of Linux comes from my steam deck. I have started using it as my desktop computer and have had no issues to speak of. Most of my daily computing is done on my iPad, so for slightly heavier, lifting I use my sting deck.
I continue watching videos about Linux like this one and it keeps giving me mental pain
I'm a game developer, I work in an industry that pretty much completely ignores Linux. You can now build your games for Linux, but you can only go fuck yourself if you want to use Linux to build said games
I have no ability to use anything but Windows, and I think it'll stay this way for many years to come
4:17 oh no i couldn't play rust for 26h per day more

And that is why I'm not touching Windows 11.
Didn't read lol - won't accept eula. Just like I turn off any feature about sending diagnostic data, sharing location, etc.

it only made sense to switch to Linux full time: router, AP, photo downloader (pi), home made NAS (pi), server (Ubuntu), all run on Linux. Am using PopOS and haven't had the need to switch back to windows. It just works!
Glad to hear you're enjoying Linux!
I've been looking to switch, but I play a lot of Virtual Reality games. :( I've heard VR is really hard to get working on Linux. What Distro would you recommend for someone like me? (I mainly use a Quest 3. I have an Index...but it's got a bunch of dead pixels so I've been avoiding using it until it gets fixed.) I also sadly use the Adobe suite.
Can I play all my games? No.
Can I run all the software I need? No.
Can I configure all of my hardware and peripherals? No.
Fix that, then get back to me.
I'm not because my pc cant play games no more
Fair lol

Seriously though I can't find any kind of guide for what hardware to get if I want to build a rock solid Linux box. People rush to say "Linux works on almost anything!" until it has an obscure seemingly random bug that only shows up in daily use or something is completely unsupported and needs to be removed.
Sorry to hear that...
Because it does in most cases. Just stay away from latest hardware as it will take some time for Linux to support them. Make sure what Kernel version your distro have and choose any distro with latest Kernal (fedora and Mx Linux for example). Nvidia hardware may cause some issue. Hybrid graphics may cause some issue but it's fixable in most cases. And importantly not all distro works well with all hardware. So if some distro does not work for you, switch to something else. And is you are beginner after installing any distro watch videos or read articles on things to do after installing that distro. Googling something goes a long way
@@mechswrd aa yeah but i dont want to buy a older laptop just to use linux, i dont want the 60hz potato lapotop .......so right now i am staying on windows until i find a solutiion to my problem with linux or if windowss make a huge mistake that will force me to linux even with problem

@@xgui4-studios By latest, they mean approx 3 months for mainstream hardware like GPUs and CPUs, and maybe 6 for a particularly obscure printer.
For obscure dongles and capture devices it's kinda hit and miss. A mix of "it just works" and "the specialty selling point of this specific device has no software support".
Truthfully, it doesn't really matter what OS you use... if you want to preserve your privacy get off of the internet, ditch the cell phone, and "smart" devices. The root issue is the internet all together. I know it's the candy you can't live without but those are the facts.
Yeah but you don’ just use devices for internet bruh. This is such an ignorant comment. And most jobs require a computer and the internet. These videos are here to help because you almost have no choice but to use devices anyway so using the right OS is the answer apparently.
@@name______6870 It is actually very valid. My point was that privacy and our modern connected lifestyle do not coexist. If there is a way out then there is a way in.
@@Jfarr1978 alright, but probably those who have rich parents that don’ have to worry about everything (school, money, work, etc.) are the only ones that can go in fully isolated from the internet and technology in this digital age. Most doesn’t really have a choice since these things are a ‘must’ now. We gotta compromise and find a way to still keep our data secured, choosing the right OS is one of them.
The Linux pill is a little tough to swallow, given my experience with Mint was bad enough to put launch Windows 11 to shame (refusal to use controllers, Bluetooth not working, audio was super crackly, Proton just did not wanna work, and all of this was after everything was up to date, and I wasnt even on NVidia)
I am happy I had the foresight to get my hands on Windows 11 Pro so I could at least attempt to do something about stuff like Copilot/Recall/80% of forced Telemetry. I understand that my case is not the universal one, so I get the nudge to Linux as an option, but for me, Linux as a daily driver is just simply not there yet
Best short introduction Video for switching to Linux I have seen yet! I am starting to switch to Linux Mint and I am really happy so far!
In 3 months, "Why I switched back to Windows". Linux is a sink hole for your time. I expect things to work without having to spend 2 hours trying to figure out which dependency, driver or whatever else I'm missing. Plug and play, that is the Windows experience, and most people complaining about Windows and switching to Linux learn it the hard way. Besides, recall is not as bad as people think it is, at least once they will have encrypted the recall database on the system. If you are concerned about privacy, stop using big techs software or services all together. Good luck with that.
True lmao
that why i cant switch to linux now, but once i got a laptop or computer who work out of the box on linux i might switch. i dont want to search hours and hours on how to install wifi driver and use ethernet as ethernet is pretty incoveniant on a laptop
I don't understand why people like yourself speak so confidently about this as if you know. You don't know. If you're ready to surrender your privacy to big tech, go ahead, but don't blame it on Linux, which is a perfectly serviceable OS. Blame it on your own passiveness and unwillingness to learn, despite how easy it actually is.
If you are unfamiliar with an OS and lack skills then things can take time to figure out. But that's more a you problem than a shortcoming of the OS. I can list out every library a binary is linked to in milliseconds. Which is far from 2 hours. Linux has a command that'll do exactly that. I know what it is too. Drivers can be more time consuming.
Alright, blue pill Agent Smith... go back to your matrix.
Don't tell me what to do
I tried both linux and windows... linux sucs FOR ME! Why ? Every fucking thing in linux is pain in the ass... FOR ME.
I'm right there with you lol
swapped to linux about a month ago and my laptop actually boots and shuts down in reasonable time, life is good.
In a Linux comradeship, Windows users are considered novice, and its the same community that suggests Windows users to switch to Linux that was never meant to be a desktop operating system. This is ironic and for most new Linux users, the affair with the Tux is pretty much over when they want to install a software not bundled with the distort. Enter The Terminal.
?
Linux just sucks for anything other than browsing the web and programming. And NAW, i ain't using libri office or whatever that dollar tree version is. Literally nothing works on linux including all games, and NO im not gonna use wine and NO im not gonna use proton which crashes atleast 2 mins after starting the game due to a missing dll. I've experienced all this shit and gave up after like a week. Windows/Mac all the way to go! Community sucks too btw.
Linux users just appear in ANY os discussion whether is about windows or mac. They just linux to mask up the fact that they have like 2008 hardware or something. And the trumpcard of any linux user (on the internet) is "bloat" or "spyware". Like, who actually cares? For businesses? NO. Enterprise always has disabled telemetry. If you use linux, great! go for it! but if you wanna boast about it or just appear in any discussion that is NOT related to linux, nothing to say.

using "privacy" as a main reason to ditch windows is almost stupid in 2024.
you lost your privacy the moment you browsed on the web on any browsing capable device. The only issue I see with windows recal is if they use it to catch people committing piracy as if they weren't already capable of doing so already without recal..(which hasnt happened from my knowledge). As for copilot, it,s a very useful tool and that is a fact not an opinion, if it gives wrong answers its generally because you suck at promt engineering. To deny it and say its "useless" and its just windows "bloatware" is a just a blind stupid take.
You still using Skype and Cortana?
@@M00nlightOfficial now that is bloatware and why im not going back to windows 10
BIG QUESTION:
I am noticing the vast majority of new laptops by the major computer manufacturers are replacing the Right Control key with an AI Copilot key. WHY?!
Because they're using AI as a cover to scrape our usage data.
I’ve already switched to Fedora though - I don’t use Ubuntu or anything related to Debian because I’m not used to APT.
The reason they won't work is because you are not allowed to play it, not because of the file system, you can play most of them like apex, elden ring GTA5
I see
I tried switching to linux and it worked about as well as my years old windows 11 install. Which is to say drivers were broken, random things didn't work, and it seemed like I needed to go into the os files to make a small settings tweak. A fresh windows 10 install worked fine however.

I AM NOT SWITCHING TO LINUX THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH WINDOWS
I am 'done' as you say over there, after 4 decades using M at work and home! I have just purchased 'Linux in Easy Steps' and loaded Linux Mint 22 on to a flash drive to change my desktop and laptop for a hopefully much happier 72 year old's experience! I have zero interest in games, just want to order groceries weekly and stuff to my door from Azn (just about daily), pay my household bills and pass the remaining time on UT without the ever worse Windows carry-on.
Don't get too excited. Linux is not for most people. Linux on laptop is quite bad. Too many drivers issues. Go ahead and give it a try. But don't be surprised if it has issues for you and you want to switch back to Windows.
And copilot Is getting worse
Indeed it is
What did you expect at this point Lmao
You're so right XD
It's too slow
-If you delete something in ext3-4 format, good luck restoring it. But with Windows, there is a chance and many softwares to do this for ntfs or other storage format of usb drives and sd card.
-Many laptops have no Linux drivers, like webcams, microphones, wifi, and gpu. You have to buy a popular USA brand like Dell or HP to use Linux without driver problems (which means buying a famous laptop in both brand and model). Even if you find the driver for the device, you still lack the software if the driver comes with it.
-in games Not just anti-cheat is going to bother you if you are someone who doesn't use a mouse or keyboard for every game. You will have to configure your controllers. If you have a cheap controller, there are many community tools to configure it, and if you have an expensive one, you have software from the manufacturer, but both are available in Windows. I never could or saw a sim racing setup runs on Linux; also not everyone is buying games from Steam to use the mapping option; steam is not working with every controller BTW.
dont worry, each windows problem has fix, in 2014 i was saying windows is done but just after year used windows again.
Some good points here!
these days if you're silly enough to only have one copy of anything and delete it, regardless of the system you use that's your fault. I've not had to use undelete software for well over twenty five years because I keep duplicates of everything on different computers, cloud services or my own NAS. My duplication methods have become more complex over the years.
I lost some at the time important to me files that I'd still like to have (Doom 2 levels I entered into a competition) when my PC's drive died. Then the magazine folded so I couldn't request my files back. Months of work lost on levels for a game I still play.
I can recreate them, but not exactly, and the editor I used no longer works.
I knew someone who lost the files for his Ph.D thesis just before he was due to submit it. This happened a few months after I started mine, eight years after I lost those files, so well into my file loss paranoia. He wasn't allowed any more funding, so had to leave and write it all over again from home. A pretty dumb thing to do really.
@careypridgeon don't worry, i have a NAS its running on Windows Server 2019.👌🏻
Laptop driver situation isn't as bad as it was 10 years ago, on my laptop the only thing that doesn't work is the fingerprint reader.

Nope.
Nah. Mac is same thing.
😂they still have your private information lol
I installed Ubuntu 24 and I back to Windows after 24h, very bad font rendering, glitch, lags, once my PC is freeze I must do press restart button to get back it to work, after that I try Arch and same, all is very bad, Linux is very bad OS I don't know how people can use this s. But also I don't thing that Recall is problem because looks we never can official get it, need to have some supported CPU for that, but also maybe you need to make video how spying you your mobile phone that is most dangerous things. Windows users will never switch to Linux because Windows is working very good now and also strange but MS decide to focus more on Developers now, this means all what I can do on Linux i can do same and better on MS Windows now, WSL2 and Dev Drive is amazing things for users who need that.
I've had some of the same experiences as well. Linux can be hit or miss but you just have to find the right distro for you!
