Linus is not a youtube channel unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Anthony system made useful by Anthony's contributions.

However, the other thing that needs to be done is to go to the Scheduler and make sure to disable or delete the scheduled tasks that are set to occasionally run those services. Very sneaky how those were put in there. Now there's also another layer that can be added on top of that in terms of changing policy groups or something like that. I forgot exactly how it's done but I can find it if the other stuff doesn't work. However, it may only work for some versions of Windows 10. I myself recently installed the LTSC version and set it to never update. My 10 Pro I'm using right now on this older computer hasn't updated itself in literally 3-4 years, but I don't think I did the group policy thing on it. TBH I don't remember what I did on that. But, on the LTSC, it was just the 3 mentioned things. And of course you better believe I never use Windows legit :D

      I dont know why people mention "privacy" while using youtube, which is own by google lmao. If you are using the internet or any kind of social media you are pretty much giving all of your info away, and you can pretty much disable the majority of the tracking stuff from windows. And for the performance part the difference is very minimal and would also depend on the distro that you are using (its usually just a few mbs of ram), which btw, its not always the case. My CPU usage was spiking to 100% while downloading stuff on steam while using Linux Mint, which wasn't the case on windows. I looked it up online at it seems to happen to many people

      First, it's free. So if you try it you have nothing to lose but time. Especially since you can test the system of the usb stick without installing it (which you should do anyway to check any hardware issue before committing to the installation).
      Security and privacy are definitively big concerns but it's not something you will notice in your day to day use. What you're going to notice instantly is the software management and systems updates. You don't have to download any file manually you just find your app in the app-store and click a button, no install wizards at all, like you would do on a phone pretty much. This will also prevent you from downloading malicious crap from the internet if you don't know what you're doing.
      Performances will be roughly the same for gaming, some features from Nvidia cards like DLSS may be missing for a while since they update their linux drivers slower than the windows ones. However hardware having a rough time running windows will perform significantly better when running linux for pretty much anything else.
      The major drawback for some people I think is the lack of some very popular software like Microsoft Office or the Adobe Creative Suite, and if open alternatives just won't do the job for you, then it's probably better for you to stay on Windows for now. Maybe reconsider Linux again next year and see if something changed ?
      Customization can be a huge advantage for you, but it can be safely ignored if you don't want to spend any time on this, most users won't care at all I think. Having hundreds of different Linux distributions can be overwhelming at first. Just go with Pop!_OS LTS if you're lost.

      Nice comment, but one correction: What you’re referring 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.

      @Checkpoint I started out with Puppy Linux when my Win98 got too long in the tooth. Then Xubuntu (my favorite flavor of Ubuntu) but Lubuntu just works better for old stuff. AntiX is not a bad OS, it just don't feel polished like the Ubuntu clones. So, maybe in a year if the PC is still kicking, or the harddrive finally fails (bad sectors) I'll switch to AntiX for this machine too. I generally use this for Browsing, or watching things online like UA-cam or light games. And will likely be doing so for some time.

    My dad who's been programming since the 80s refuses to touch Windows because of how restrictive it is, since if you know what you're doing you can do literally anything on Linux. In contrast, when he uses windows (such as on customer PCs) he always feels so limited, like he doesn't have control over the computer, and he doesn't understand why people pay to lose functionality and gain instability. He gets the compatability aspect, but he doesn't use anything that doesn't work on linux and he runs Windows VMs for when he absolutely needs to.

They actually have representatives sitting on the board of the Linux Foundation. I don't know how I feel about them having a voice on the direction of Linux though, when they have a 'sort of' competing product. Actually, I'm quite sure that I don't like it at all, not one bit.

This Linux computer is using Gnome desktop environment, and my father is very poor at using computers.

    PSA: Using the same home folder in multiple different Linux Distros is very possible, but may mess up any configuration files that you have, user specific configuration files are held in the home files, and you will not be able to configure many of the new Distros default applications/libraries automatically. You could theoretically get around this by creating a script that checks for certain libraries/applications, and if you don't have them, downloads all the applications that you don't have, but then you'd have to make one for every different distribution that you have a chance of using, which could be tedious.

      Oh, and, basically, no distro makes any money off _installs_ as it's illegal to sell the "product"/"mental property" itself. It's "wholesale solutions", mostly support contracts, the bigger players are making money off Linux (smaller entities live on subsidies and donations, maybe selling DVDs and manuals).
      Let's, for example, dive a bit into RedHat (distro I started with in '96): IBM bought it for ~34bil US$ a year (or two?) ago so they could offer their own full in-house package without any 3rd party involved: from them housing your data, offering 2h-response on-site technicians packed with spare parts fixing your servers, down to 24/7 1st level support if an user's desktop wallpaper won't show up as intended: you pay, you get it. For your datacenter, for your staff of 1500 keyboard whackers. Windows? check. Mac? check. Linux? uuuh...check!
      Fun thing is: they don't want you to just download their nicely assorted packages. They try to make you jump through a few hoops, but they can't stop you, though, since they're legally bound to the open source license paperwork, so all you basically have to do is say "I am a developer" and download it for free at developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download . Or you just download Fedora, formerly called RedHat Linux, which basically is RHEL's testbed distro ;-)

      @ the poster of the first UA-cam-comment on this “thread” (I don’t-know what-else to call it):
      I have a Asus P43E-XH31. It came with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
      One day, [unfortunately], it refused to boot into Windows.
      I don’t know-why.
      It was working like-a-dream the day before.
      I press F8 upon boot (because the instruction-manual of the laptop says to press F8 to go to the [preinstalled/preconfigured] Recovery partition).
      Nothing happens.
      I manage to create a LiveUSB of a Linux distribution, on a friend’s laptop, and in that laptop, I go to the Help chatroom for that distro to try to get help installing Linux in a empty unused “D”-partition that came in my laptop straight from the factory.
      I get assistance installing the-Linux-distro in there.
      After I do all the steps counseled by the Linux-distro helpers, I restart my computer and what-do-you-know?: The “G.R.U.B.”-Bootloader immediately-detects my Windows-7 “C” partition, the Recovery partition, and the partition where I installed the-Linux-distro. The “G.R.U.B.”-Bootloader even allows me to select [and go to] the Recovery partition if I want to.
      Linux basically saved my computer and made it usable again.
      P.S. I have since been-able to go to Windows again, without any problems, and if Windows doesn’t boot-up, I just go to Linux (which *ALWAYS* boots-up-on-me without any problems), and I access through-The-File-Manager the Windows-partition and get my files that I need (pictures, videos, music-files, Word documents, etcetera), and continue to work [/do my job] from Linux.
      P.P.S. To anyone that is reading my UA-cam-comment:
      You can't expect something that was not-designed for Linux to work-well under Linux. Same way I can't-expect the "Oregon Trail" computer-game that I played on the Apple PowerMac computers in my school's computer-lab in 1993 to work-well on my AST "Advantage!" tower-computer that has Windows-95 in it.
      The program has to be written for Microsoft Windows, or Linux, or Apple Macintosh, for it to work-well in Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Apple Macintosh, respectively.
      (Or in the case of Linux, you can also share the hardware-specifications with the Linux-Foundation (specifically, the Linux-kernel developers) so they can write into the Linux-kernel the drivers for that hardware / the drivers for that particular hardware.
      The kernel is the "glue" that allows the hardware and software to talk to each other. It's very important).
