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.
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
I'm switching to Linux simply because Microsoft decided that my 2019 laptop with 4.0Ghz of processing speed wasnt good enough for Windows 11. I always wanted to try Linux so nows my chance.
You can easily bypass all the Microsoft bs & upgrade to windows 11, I've done it with a 9 year old laptop, it's worth doing. Then duel boot with something like Linux mint
@@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.
I switched to Ubuntu in around 2017-2018, I did it "cold-turkey" without prior knowledge on Linux (unless MSDOS counts, which does share some similarities with the Terminal) I haven't regretted a single day. There are days, situations and conversations where I remember that Windows exists, but generally I don't even think about it.
Only reason I still have Windows on a separate drive (which is not even in my PC but sitting on a shelf) is because I need it to update the firmware on my Fanatec racing wheel and pedals. If hardware companies would simply start supporting Linux they would find a huge portion of Windows users disappearing.
@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.
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.
I am currently running both KDE Neon and MInt flavors of Linux on 9 different machines, for the last several years. No breaks, not ever. Every time I boot into Windows, it starts making demands and wasting my time. I settled that machine's hash yesterday. Installed KDE Neon on it. Now I have no annoying Windows boxes.
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.

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
"Switch to Linux," they're saying. Mate, I did it yesterday. I'm using Bazzite and it's a pain in the arse. Nothing works as it should. My wireless headset cuts out sometimes, and I can't share my screen or an app Discord, it just loads forever. And I am not a Linux beginner. I have years of Fedora server experience (That's why I chose Bazzite). I also have had a Steam Deck for 2 years now and that thing works like it should.
It's a Fedora based, so I think there is a sort of customer helping center for it. I don't think it's a Linux thing because in most of cases there aren't such problems
@ tried mint ubuntu fedora debian all bullshit. Shit Nvidia support, and couldn’t even make a TP link wifi module work. Other issues causing slow downs, apps not opening having to uninstall and reinstall them, it is so easy to break things and beyond repair. Thankfully, I was recently issued a Macbook in the workplace and experienced what a real OS is like. I will be getting a personal Macbook in the first chance I get and show the middle finger to both microsoft and linux. If you got the money yourself, just get a mac.
@@KrypteiaXi I mean, I totally agree about it being way easier to break things (a consequence of actually having control over your system unlike with windows) as I did so very quickly in the first few days of switching, and I also has issues with ubuntu/fedora etc drivers and outdated packages. "Shit nvidia support" isn't technically correct, as it's not linux that doesn't support nvidia, it's nvidia that doesn't put the same work into their drivers for linux as they do for windows. This has improved a lot recently. Dunno if i would say that Macos is a 'real' OS though and that Linux isn't. I've had a macbook pro 16" since 2019 as my daily driver for work, study and entertainment and although there are some things I like, MacOS still has heaps of issues that are very frustrating, at least for my workflow/usecase. For example, if your system is getting too hot, instead of just throttling your cpu to drop the temps (like everything else does) MacOS has an empty process that eats up your entire cpu to forcibly steal resources from other processes and drop the temps. This has the unfortunate side effect of making your entire desktop almost completely unresponsive and unusable, not great if you're in the middle of a 2 hr long zoom lesson. Of course, anything on the newer mac silicon runs great, but this is less to do with the OS and just great hardware.
@@KrypteiaXi excluding Debian, I'm willing to bet an average user coming from windows to any of those distros, are not gonna be executing system breaking commands in the terminal, not even close, I mean, I don't even see them changing desktop environments or even GTK/Qt themes on the first. I don't know WHAT you think an average user would do that would accidentally "break things beyond repair" lmao.
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

@@tulenich9948 Yea but it is not only updates, many programs need to reboot after installation because it adds something to PATH or something, and windows doesn't work with that straight away, and then also some registry keys are added that require a reboot to apply
@@ANSStickmin 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.
Switched to Ubuntu couple of days ago, never looking back. Windows was crashing and my firefox tabs randomly crashing too. So far it's been days of stable use. Loving it.
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 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!
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’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
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
im not used to linux but im gonna stick with windows i just removed the stuff i dont need it was pretty simple its fells better now im waiting for windows 12 its gonna take a long time....
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.

The first computer I converted to Linux was a laptop that couldn't handle Windows 7 and I moved it to Linux Mint. I loved it! That laptop is finally starting to properly wear out, but I got like 8 more years out of it. Next computer was my desktop fairly recently, which at the time was dual booted on separate drives, went all in or RHEL 9. That was a painful transition, but I've pretty well sorted it now. In fact I'm on that computer now. It no longer dual boots, I built a windows PC specifically for gaming and moved the windows drive. The more I hear about the new Windows spyware the less I want to use it. I'll have to try setting up some games on Linux. Thanks for showing how!
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 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.

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.
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.
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
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 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 switched to Arch Linux, I have no desire to go back. I am even thinking of building with AMD or Intel next build JUST because I wanna use Linux better.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
I have met at least two people who use Linux for VR. One uses an Index and the other uses a tethered Quest. One of them uses a system called Monado to replace SteamVR, but I forget which one. I spend a lot of time in a social VR program called "Resonite" and many of the users I've bumped into are Linux users, but I'm not sure they're using linux _for VR_. Sadly, I'm not aware of any way to run the Adobe suite under Linux and I suspect that, because of the way it's licensed, there is no way. Best I could offer for advice there is to either look into alternative applications that can run on linux (Krita is a good digital painting program, Blender can do video compositing as well as 3D animation, et cetera) or setting up a dual boot system so you can choose to use either Windows or Linux every time you boot the computer. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of dual booting. It can be easy to set up and you can share files between the two OSes, but it's kind of a hassle to have to reboot just to use the one or two programs that require a particular OS.
After 26+ years on Windows I wiped my drive about one week ago and installed Arch Linux for the reasons mentioned in this video. I refuse to go back to Windows. All of my games work and I've found alternatives to every piece of software I was using on Windows 10. Did I mention my desktop environment is beautiful?
Devs mostly use skype as a chat and screen share tool, but skype doesn't provide screen share option to distros those are using wayland as display server, plus fractional scalling to third party softwares is blurry, and the fact these distros are using wayland for almost 3 - 4 years, still third party softwares arent really compatible with wayland, so if something is broken linux, it might take years to fix
@@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.
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 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.
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

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.
Just to clarify.. just because its open source it does not mean safe! Lately there was a TON of privacy and just plainndata stealing on linux! Also keep in mind that apps you are used to will not work as advertised but with many many caveats! As an example if you have an older system installing gtx 670 drivers is hours of work you are better off with windows xp at that point. If you need tomsetupma system in 1 day linux is not it will take you weeks to iron out stuff.
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.
I will say that the printer one is usually not an issue. Linux uses CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) and it’s pretty good. It’s the same thing Mac OS (which is UNIX) uses for printing and it’s usually pretty seamless. I’m sure the odd printer exists that doesn’t work with it but it seems most do. I’ve used many printers, from many different manufacturers, and never once encountered one that didn’t work with it.
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 have a few computers and the only one that runs windows is using XP for old games. My main windows pc is now running Linux Mint and I have zero regrets.

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.
I always use Windows since 2012, but unfortunately or fortunately I'll switch Linux someday due to Windows 10 EOS or TPM 2 missing for Windows 11 setup
Mint and Fedora are two best distros - Mint for newcomers and non-power-users .. for example my mom has Mint for years on her mini PC (I just updated it) .. she write documents, watch movies and browse web so it's perfect for her. I had Mint for a few years on my PC when I started with Linux. Now, as a developer use Fedora and love it.
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.

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.
I am currently deleting system32 (on my physical machine) and switching to my second boot: Debian. Im still gonna dualboot because i want to try multiple distros at once.
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
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.
its not that deep just get windows with disabled updates or customized windows, i use miniOS made by a puerto rican, really good, updates dont bother me, neither windows defender or getting updates even when i didn't asked for them (which slows pc too), and it obviously disables all that microsoft bloatware

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
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.

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

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).

windows 11 is great im never switching to linux
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.
Fair
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.
I'm a Debian user, Debian is by far more stable than Windows since the Debian project prioritizes stability over new software
I am currently running both KDE Neon and MInt flavors of Linux on 9 different machines, for the last several years. No breaks, not ever. Every time I boot into Windows, it starts making demands and wasting my time. I settled that machine's hash yesterday. Installed KDE Neon on it. Now I have no annoying Windows boxes.
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.

@@KrypteiaXi I mean, I totally agree about it being way easier to break things (a consequence of actually having control over your system unlike with windows) as I did so very quickly in the first few days of switching, and I also has issues with ubuntu/fedora etc drivers and outdated packages.
"Shit nvidia support" isn't technically correct, as it's not linux that doesn't support nvidia, it's nvidia that doesn't put the same work into their drivers for linux as they do for windows. This has improved a lot recently.
Dunno if i would say that Macos is a 'real' OS though and that Linux isn't. I've had a macbook pro 16" since 2019 as my daily driver for work, study and entertainment and although there are some things I like, MacOS still has heaps of issues that are very frustrating, at least for my workflow/usecase. For example, if your system is getting too hot, instead of just throttling your cpu to drop the temps (like everything else does) MacOS has an empty process that eats up your entire cpu to forcibly steal resources from other processes and drop the temps. This has the unfortunate side effect of making your entire desktop almost completely unresponsive and unusable, not great if you're in the middle of a 2 hr long zoom lesson.
Of course, anything on the newer mac silicon runs great, but this is less to do with the OS and just great hardware.

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!
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
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 :).
Nice! I'm glad to hear you're liking Linux : )
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
We have shenanigans in Linux too. Heck Mint exists because of perceived shenanigans. In fact most of Linux is the result of shenanigans.

The first computer I converted to Linux was a laptop that couldn't handle Windows 7 and I moved it to Linux Mint. I loved it! That laptop is finally starting to properly wear out, but I got like 8 more years out of it. Next computer was my desktop fairly recently, which at the time was dual booted on separate drives, went all in or RHEL 9. That was a painful transition, but I've pretty well sorted it now. In fact I'm on that computer now. It no longer dual boots, I built a windows PC specifically for gaming and moved the windows drive. The more I hear about the new Windows spyware the less I want to use it. I'll have to try setting up some games on Linux. Thanks for showing how!
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 did that almost 30 years ago and I know there's something more: forgetting even what's the latest POS from Microsoft
I'm disappointed that you used Flatpack and Snap as examples for package managers, and not apt, pacman, rpm, etc.
That's a fair point lol
Flatpaks for graphical software. Apt for system software.
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.
Yeah, you should use native packages (apt, pacman, rpm etc.) for resource intensive apps like Steam.

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.
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
For printers, use CUPS, which is a printer driver created by Apple and works with most printer models.
I did not know about that! Thank you for informing me.
CUPS was made in 1993 by Easy Software Products. They sold the Open Source project to Apple in 2007.
@@512Bytes will it work on canon LBP 2900b USB printer?
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.

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!
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.
Let's go!
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 switched to Arch Linux, I have no desire to go back. I am even thinking of building with AMD or Intel next build JUST because I wanna use Linux better.

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.

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.
No they didn't, it's still going to happen. If this doesn't convince anyone to switch to Linux, I may or may not know what will.
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.
I have met at least two people who use Linux for VR. One uses an Index and the other uses a tethered Quest. One of them uses a system called Monado to replace SteamVR, but I forget which one. I spend a lot of time in a social VR program called "Resonite" and many of the users I've bumped into are Linux users, but I'm not sure they're using linux _for VR_.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any way to run the Adobe suite under Linux and I suspect that, because of the way it's licensed, there is no way. Best I could offer for advice there is to either look into alternative applications that can run on linux (Krita is a good digital painting program, Blender can do video compositing as well as 3D animation, et cetera) or setting up a dual boot system so you can choose to use either Windows or Linux every time you boot the computer. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of dual booting. It can be easy to set up and you can share files between the two OSes, but it's kind of a hassle to have to reboot just to use the one or two programs that require a particular OS.
After 26+ years on Windows I wiped my drive about one week ago and installed Arch Linux for the reasons mentioned in this video. I refuse to go back to Windows. All of my games work and I've found alternatives to every piece of software I was using on Windows 10. Did I mention my desktop environment is beautiful?
Love to hear that!
Devs mostly use skype as a chat and screen share tool, but skype doesn't provide screen share option to distros those are using wayland as display server, plus fractional scalling to third party softwares is blurry, and the fact these distros are using wayland for almost 3 - 4 years, still third party softwares arent really compatible with wayland, so if something is broken linux, it might take years to fix

Glad to hear you're enjoying Linux!
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.
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

Just to clarify.. just because its open source it does not mean safe! Lately there was a TON of privacy and just plainndata stealing on linux! Also keep in mind that apps you are used to will not work as advertised but with many many caveats! As an example if you have an older system installing gtx 670 drivers is hours of work you are better off with windows xp at that point. If you need tomsetupma system in 1 day linux is not it will take you weeks to iron out stuff.

I will say that the printer one is usually not an issue. Linux uses CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) and it’s pretty good. It’s the same thing Mac OS (which is UNIX) uses for printing and it’s usually pretty seamless. I’m sure the odd printer exists that doesn’t work with it but it seems most do. I’ve used many printers, from many different manufacturers, and never once encountered one that didn’t work with it.
If your printer was made in the last 5-10 years, it almost definitely supports CUPS.
