man, i don't even use linux (except for my phone) but i'm excited for what's to come. if you're open to ideas, maybe you could make a video about why linux is not that popular. sure a lot of phones use android, but when i ask my friends that use androids about linux, they say that they never heard of it. cheers.
+Cur Newb I would say the simple answer is that since Linux is open-source, free, and all that comes with it, there isn't really any room for advertising a free product. Windows and Mac OS's are proprietary, selling their product for financial gains. This allowed them to advertise more and sell more. It's a bit of a snowball effect. That, and compatibility with applications and games. This, is again, simply because people use Windows more; ergo, there are more things for Windows and less for Linux (even then, most programmes that you'd use with Windows work on Linux. And for those that don't, there's always Wine, a Windows emulator for Linux). Most people don't use Linux *because* they don't know it exists, most people believe that you're either a Windows or Mac fanboy, and that there are no alternatives.
Wow, this is a very well presented overview: it covers both interpretations of Linux very concisely yet effectively. Those were some slick animations too. Bravo, Linux Gamer~! (Side note: do keep using this form of presentation for your subsequent videos in this series! Albeit, the topics you've mentioned that you will be covering in the future are a bit more nuanced and situational by nature, and perhaps it's best that you present them 'as they are' visually at times, for contextual clarity. I'm no video editor/producer, so do take this humble suggestion with a grain of salt.)

Very informative video! For some reason, I've always assumed that Linux was for people who were more tech-savvy, and as a newcomer to using a desktop for more than just work/homework, I didn't think it'd be something I could easily learn to use. Right now I"m using WIndows, but will definitely keep Linux in mind.
The world needs more people like you dude! Keep up the good work, honestly this did not tell me anything I did not already know but then I have been a serious Linux user for about 5 years and had many Linux based handhelds before that.
I've basically been ignoring the existence of Linux for my entire life (much to my own frustration now that I'm considering building a Linux machine). This video did a really awesome job to help me grasp the concept of Linux a bit better (:
The presentation its really nice and simple. Its the linux image we all need to share. Next IMO You should address the reasons why linux is not the main system yet in PCs.
back when i was young i used my parents dos computer for gaming with games like original duke nukem, wolfenstein 3d etc. been considering linux for awhile. look forward to your other vids
great video, maybe one thing that you forgot about linux are servers parts I think is the most important of linux and were is used more. Like always amazing editing and vocal voice always at the same tone.
+tjpld I was installing Windows 10 on a laptop a few days ago and it kept BSOD'ing every ~5 minutes. I tried searching the error and nothing even came up. I would say they're uncommon on both, but tend to happen with more exotic things on Windows than Linux.
+tjpld ^This. And don't forget kernel panics are happens in every Unix system (Freebsd, Hp-ux, Linux, mac os, Solaris...). But most kernel panics are results of a faulty configuration or a failing hardware.
+tjpld I've been using Linux a lot over the last I'd say 10 years, and now use it exclusively.. On the same exact rigs that would get frequent bluescreens even shortly after a fresh Windows install, I've never not once experienced a Kernel panic on either my own machines or on a machine where I installed linux for someone else.. Personally every computer that I've dealt with running Windows, has bluescreened... Good chance that I was dealing with it BECAUSE it bluescreened... Where as I have not once dealt with a Kernel panic... And it's not like Windows is the majority in the computers I deal with anymore either... Linux is the majority now, and still that personal stat remains..
Brilliant video. You have the exact same opinion I do about Linux-based vs. GNU/Linux. GNU is a project managed by Richard Stallman who says all the components of his OS are free, yet if you use them he puts restrictions on what you name your OS. Yikes. Where is the freedom in that? Richard himself says that Linux is not a part of the OS project that he calls GNU. Nor is Linux a part of the free software foundation. Therefore Linux is just Linux as in the Linux-based operating system project that Linus Torvalds announced back in 1991. By the way, Fedora is every bit as easy to use as Mint, if you use the Cinnamon DE. :)
OK that was one of the best linux vids, no that is the best linux vid Ive ever seen! You have a new subscriber :D Q. apart from going on the forums and stuff, are there ant courses/tutorials on how i can: 1. create an app 2. improve the desktop environment. I'm thinking of linux mint here. Q. how can I go about explaining how the distros differ? because I am used to mint now and thought I'd give ubuntu a go on virtual box, and TBH it just wasn't nice.
we dont get the blue screen of death, but I got stuck once when I was silly enough not to use a swap partition with 8 gigs of RAM. It only took ~150 IMDb pages in firefox :)
Speaking of Linux: Gave it a try on my gaming machine but it aint recognizing my M.M.O. 7 mouse, or better said it does but after one click you have to do like 50 to get one element to be clicked. After restarting the x everything works fine again, weird tho... I have to do that all the damn time so it's nothing for me, also most of my daily used programs I have under Windows are either not present for Linux or there are really really bad alternatives...
could you make a video dedicated to how drivers work in GNU/Linux? this is a topic many people don't understand and there are a lot of misconceptions about this (including free drivers and proprietary drivers comparison on nvidia and amd if you happen to know someone using an amd card) . another idea would be a video dedicated to package management and the differences between apt, aur, zypp... (but that's maybe not the right video for a gaming oriented channel)
Bro your voice is cool. And also the videos you make with your appearance is also cool. Don't get me wrong. I mean the camera angles are sick. You seem like you cut out a lot of scenes from a single shot. Next time you upload your video with your appearance, just shoot it in your lawn, or garden in the morning. 7 AM -8 AM or even 6! I bet. The end video will be a lot better just by this. Good Luck Bro 😉
Idea for a video.. I would like to buy a tough book without a hard drive and understand the steps from installing a blank hard drive and to a basic running Linux operating system.
It looks like you enjoy both Ubuntu and Fedora (judging by your UA-cam banner, at least), so I was wondering: which DE do you usually use? I love Cinnamon and MATE, but I don't think I'll be budging from KDE, especially on a rolling release like Arch (I'm an Antergos user, but I still hold Fedora and Linux Mint with very high regards!); I'd love to get into a tiling manager like Openbox or i3 (one of my closest friends swears up and down that once you get into a tiling manager like i3, there's no turning back!), but I love me some GUIs...
Yep, I've learned from my mistakes since I made that comment. :P I've actually spent a lot of time trying out different DEs and WMs, including i3. I actually really like it, but I'm using Xfce right now (was using GNOME 3, but I didn't like how sluggish it felt on my laptop, which is the only computer I regularly use..). i3wm is going to be one of (if not my first) choices if I don't like the direction the distro I'm currently using (Arch) takes. Will be a mixture of Debian 9, OpenRC, and i3wm. :)
So...Linux isn't an OS by itself, but merely the core of many operating systems? So I could either download Linux software to make my own OS or use something like Ubuntu, which is basically someone else's Linux-based OS?
I have a question can anyone tell me how to install mods on ETS and ATS useing a steam machine that runs linux? Is there a way to create files to download the mods to get them to the game?
Hey there, i am not IT person just a normal person(use windows for daily work like Accounts, and play game & browsing) i am using windows from last 29 years and i want to learn Linux so i can use it on daley bases not just install and use. Even though i have no problem with windows, i am happy with windows just want to use and learn Linux .. please tell me which one to install opensuse, ubuntu, pconlinux or fedora base os .. can i use opnesuse Tumbleweed ? One more question as we can create more then one drive in windows like drive C(windows), D & E( to manage my date ) and if some thing happens i can reinstall windows on drive C. can i create drives like such on linux
Do a video showing how to install windows games on linux using wine dosbox and playonlinux along with linux games using steam and yes install steam with playonlinux so you can install windows games in steam . I have to admit lately dos games don't run with dosbox for some odd reason still looking into that but it seems to be with the kernal updates broke it best I can tell since they don't work across many distro's.
there is two things that keeps me from using Linux. fan control software, ant the lack of good first person shooters. if anyone can help me sort this I will be more than happy to use Linux as my os.
Im having issues installing Windows OS on my new gaming PC, can someone post a link to a good Linux OS ,a simple and basic one? I dont know much about cpu settings so i just need the default to be good enough. I'll mostly be making games in Unreal Engine 4 and probably playing games as well.
+D LocK linuxmint.com/ is an easy one to start with. Gaming on Linux has some hardware hurdles, mainly sound and video. NVidia for GFX and anything that is not Creative Labs for sound gets you started in the right direction. More reading at www.gamingonlinux.com/ too.
You don't have to be a *beginner* for using easy-to-install & easy-for-a-former-windows-slave distros. I have worked for 25 years creating software for DOS, Windows & Linux. But still I have Linux Mint in my home computer, mainly because tinkering with the OS is *not* my hobby. I just want the OS to be easy and reliable.
***** wow that's a lot worse when I used Win 98 and later windows vista. It taught me alot about viruses and how to fix many of the issue. but I got other stuff to do so I switched in 2009, and eventually went full linux :D
I currently have Windows 10 and know just about nothing of linux. My laptop is mainly used for internet whatever and gaming via Steam and Emulators "as taboo as it might be." For what i use it for would i benefit from from switching to linux? if so how come and how do i switch over if i decide too? Any help/advice would be awesome. thanks all
+Antwand H thanks form the response. so I download it from their website? does it just delete my Windows or what sorry and what happens to everything that's already on my computer? sorry I'm very very new to linux in every way lol
+Antwand H so if i put linux on a flash drive I can switch at will. that's kinda cool. I'm not really dedicated to windows. so going back wouldn't really bother me. I just heard about it and it has me extremely curious about it. does it just override my Windows and take its place?
FreeDOS is an opensource updated version of DOS 9.0 with extra functionality and modern hardware support. It can functionally just like MS DOS 9.0, or do modern networking. Some computers today are sold with FreeDOS so that people can install their own operating system and the retail shop dont have to pay for a windows license and charge extra for selling hardware.
Just one rebuke: Linux is an operating system built on top of the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is the kernel or, as you refer, the core of the operating system.
OK, Linux sounds confusing. But I keep hearing the linux name popping up Repeatedly over the past few weeks. so here's my base question - Is linux something all computers already have - only under a different name or version? Why is it so popular?
No, it's not installed on all computers. It's an alternative Operating System to Windows and OSX. It's popular because nerds run the world and it appeals to people like me.
I think you were overly optimistic here, for no reason in particular. Not all distros are stable. Actually, most are not. And... what program did you use to make the video?
So... why do i have to google to find out what Linux is for God's sake? Even after this video, I wouldn't know how to get it and what version. I mean, it sounds nice, but it doesn't sell itself whatsoever if i have to go looking for it as a desktop operating system. Still, i guess I'll dig for more info if it sounds worth it. But I would only know it's worth if I went looking to see. So, yeah, that's very strange and unusual.
+The Linux Gamer I understand if you needed another video for it. It just leaves me with so many questions. If you do have another, I recommend linking it for convenience. This is still a nice and straight-forward video. I learned the basis for what is at least. So I still thank you for sharing. I still just find it so odd though that it is "hidden" from consumers today. If I walk into BestBuy, a common place for people to purchase their computer, I would never hear of Linux or even be offered it. I wonder why this is if it's better than Windows...
+feminiedisaster because Windows is expensive. That's why. Best Buy can't sell Linux so they don't and won't tell you bout no Linux. In other words, CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST!......or something.
+feminiedisaster distrowatch.com/ - This website consists of all the links to all listed distros. Linux is non-profit product, hence they do not market it. Just because you don't see a Ferrari ad on TV doesn't mean it's worse than say, BMW or Toyota, it's just people who need it eventually find it (bcoz those are the people who are kind of inclined to know about different OS and would be technically advanced enough to install/learn it). :). Welcome to the world of Linux..On a side note: Linux is running on 99.8% top 100 Supercomputers, so free doesn't always sucks.
+feminiedisaster Red Hat and SuSE used to sell retail versions of their distros in stores like BestBuy, but the market turned out to be too niche and both of these distros discontinued their retail lines in favor of focusing on the enterprise. Despite its ubiquity on literally every other kind of computing device imaginable, Linux-based systems still remain the extreme minority on the desktop. In the mean time, the very term "Linux" itself has a lot of negative baggage attached to it. Public perception in this regard is still largely stuck in the 90's where people think there's virtually no driver support and everything has to be setup and configured on the command line, etc. This is why Valve isn't calling their system "Valve Linux" but rather SteamOS, effectively distancing themselves from it altogether (in fact, I would contend they probably need to distance themselves even more). Ever heard of Android? It is a Linux-based system (albeit one without most of the GNU userland). So if you walked into BestBuy you might wind up purchasing a Linux-based system as distributed on a smartphone or tablet, despite never having realized it. The fact that most people who use Windows 8.1 are actually running Windows NT 6.3 has just as much to do with marketing as the fact that most people who use Android don't realize it uses Linux as its kernel. As far as Linux being "better than Windows" that entirely depends on what you mean by "better." For one, it's not even a fair comparison, because the equivalent to Linux is not "Windows" but rather the NT Kernel. For another, the two have radically different distribution models, licensing terms, typical target audiences, and relative technical merits. It would be like asking "Which is better? WD-40 or Water?" In order to answer such a question you'd first have to ask: In what context? For what purpose? All kinds of water? When you say "Water" are you including water-based mixtures and/or compounds? By itself without these clarifications it's an extremely ambiguous question.
Are you seriously going to tell me that the animations you did for this video were done on Linux? :). None of the video editors available have any of this functionality :)
+Rytis Liaučys Blender does. In his comments however he uses a suite of different software. "I use a combination of software including open source and proprietary software. I use Natron, Flash, GIMP, and InkScape. I also use Audacity and Ocenaudio for audio manipulation, and KdenLive for video editing."
yea im a only linux user but the fun things is that linux is used every were but if you ask a person what linux is 99.99999 would say what is that and that PISSES ME FUCKING OFF
I really wish ElementaryOS devs would come to this video and read the "Linux is free" part. Maybe then they'd stop calling their own community freeloaders and cheaters for not wanting to donate for their project.
Honestly, I wouldn't even recommend them to be honest. They not only go against what Linux stands for, but in my opinion give the wrong impression of what Linux can be. Simplicity in Linux is fine for beginners, but when you're paying money for an extremely dumbed-down version of Linux, that's where I draw the line. There aren't any error codes that I've seen whilst using Luna (or I might've just been lucky) - these are people who understand what Linux is, they're not babies! Instead of flaunting your own desktop environment, you are stuck with a cheap shitty Mac rip-off environment, even macOS is better, due to the fact it's simple, but easy to resolve issues with/use other advanced tools when needed. elementaryOS's developers might call their community freeloaders, but at least they're not pretentious faggot who think people are stupid enough to buy their crappy system. Use Kubuntu or something. Rant over.
Still hurting from that one? Nothing about Linux says it has to be free of cost, and in many cases it isn't. And IMO the elementary guys do deserve more than they are getting, but some people just expect others to work for free.
+The Linux Gamer dude, you have a verry gread channel, greetings from german linuxer :D Please dont stop making these professional kind of videos! Thank you.. How do you make the vids btw? Abat
This video started me looking into Linux and ultimately switching to Linux thanks man.
You're welcome! :)
The Linux Gamer honestly this channel, Hexdls, and Joe Collins were such good resources for learning about Linux keep up the good work.
Very well done video, good job mate!
man, i don't even use linux (except for my phone) but i'm excited for what's to come.
if you're open to ideas, maybe you could make a video about why linux is not that popular. sure a lot of phones use android, but when i ask my friends that use androids about linux, they say that they never heard of it. cheers.
+Cur Newb Saying that Linux is not popular is a bit like saying that Dihydrogen Monoxide isn't very popular :)
Let's Play on Linux yea but... that's my point tho...
+Cur Newb I would say the simple answer is that since Linux is open-source, free, and all that comes with it, there isn't really any room for advertising a free product. Windows and Mac OS's are proprietary, selling their product for financial gains. This allowed them to advertise more and sell more. It's a bit of a snowball effect.

Most people don't use Linux *because* they don't know it exists, most people believe that you're either a Windows or Mac fanboy, and that there are no alternatives.
Or they still think linux is for servers only i mean cooperrations.
Wow, this is a very well presented overview: it covers both interpretations of Linux very concisely yet effectively. Those were some slick animations too. Bravo, Linux Gamer~!

Awesome explanation and great video. thanks for making this video.. I love it.
Best technical what-is Linux explanation EVER! Although my simplified explanation, is that Linux is a community computing project.
very nicely done video... always nice to see some more proffesional editing skills from linux youtubers :) keep up the good work!
What software are you using to make these awesome 2d animation effects?
+Eetu Lähteenmäki I'm also interested in this software. Not regular picture and Kdenlive right?
+Eetu Lähteenmäki LinuxGamer "I use a combination of software including open source and proprietary
software. I use Natron, Flash, GIMP, and InkScape. I also use Audacity
and Ocenaudio for audio manipulation, and KdenLive for video editing."
+Eetu Lähteenmäki You can do that stuff in Blender
"I use a combination of software including open source and proprietary software. I use Natron, Flash, GIMP, and InkScape. I also use Audacity and Ocenaudio for audio manipulation, and KdenLive for video editing."

Right now I"m using WIndows, but will definitely keep Linux in mind.
How you find the time and motivation to make videos edited this well like the steamos video is something I'll never understand.
Now tell me: If you're calling yourself "The Linux Gamer", what software did you use to:
A) Make these animations
B) Render the Video
It could be Blender, Synfig, Natron, Nuke, etc. Or it could be something on Windows, just cause he games on Linux doesn't mean he edits on Linux.
+The Linux Gamer Also use KdenLive, Audacity, GIMP, InkScape :)
I had never herd of Natron before! Looks very interesting, thanks for the tip :)
I recommend you don't mess with Linux people. And Googling before embarrassing yourself would be nice.
Just about the best explanation of what Linux is I've ever seen. Well done!
The world needs more people like you dude! Keep up the good work, honestly this did not tell me anything I did not already know but then I have been a serious Linux user for about 5 years and had many Linux based handhelds before that.

Kernel Panics are the BSODs of Linux and they do happen.
+tjpld But not nearly as much. I've personally never had a kernel panic, and I've been using Linux for 3+ years.

Loved the animation, "User interaction", "around the operate system" hahaha, what software do you use to do that?
i too had the same feeling... nice animation... what tools do you use for creating such nice animation
Idea for a video.. I would like to buy a tough book without a hard drive and understand the steps from installing a blank hard drive and to a basic running Linux operating system.
You were remisce to mention several stock markets and most of the internet run on linux (or BSD variants) :3
WOW amazing video man :D

+The Linux Gamer - How you are created this animation? How software?
very good video, taught me lot. Thanks for making this.
I laughed at "Time Wanker Cable" and "Derp Network"
So...Linux isn't an OS by itself, but merely the core of many operating systems? So I could either download Linux software to make my own OS or use something like Ubuntu, which is basically someone else's Linux-based OS?
+BlimpAtomic Exactly.
Great work !
How do you do the animations in this video? is it made on linux? Thanks!
nice animation for the video... what tools do you use for creating it? thanks
I have a question can anyone tell me how to install mods on ETS and ATS useing a steam machine that runs linux? Is there a way to create files to download the mods to get them to the game?
Hey there, i am not IT person just a normal person(use windows for daily work like Accounts, and play game & browsing) i am using windows from last 29 years and i want to learn Linux so i can use it on daley bases not just install and use.
Even though i have no problem with windows, i am happy with windows just want to use and learn Linux .. please tell me which one to install opensuse, ubuntu, pconlinux or fedora base os .. can i use opnesuse Tumbleweed ?
One more question as we can create more then one drive in windows like drive C(windows), D & E( to manage my date ) and if some thing happens i can reinstall windows on drive C. can i create drives like such on linux
Did you do all the animations?
Awesome animations!
Do a video showing how to install windows games on linux using wine dosbox and playonlinux along with linux games using steam and yes install steam with playonlinux so you can install windows games in steam . I have to admit lately dos games don't run with dosbox for some odd reason still looking into that but it seems to be with the kernal updates broke it best I can tell since they don't work across many distro's.
Hey, May I ask? what program do you use to make those animations? thank you
what software you use for your animations?
Voat sent me here. Thanks.

Very good, I will send people that ask what Linux is here.
there is two things that keeps me from using Linux. fan control software, ant the lack of good first person shooters. if anyone can help me sort this I will be more than happy to use Linux as my os.
Im having issues installing Windows OS on my new gaming PC, can someone post a link to a good Linux OS ,a simple and basic one? I dont know much about cpu settings so i just need the default to be good enough. I'll mostly be making games in Unreal Engine 4 and probably playing games as well.
+D LocK linuxmint.com/ is an easy one to start with. Gaming on Linux has some hardware hurdles, mainly sound and video. NVidia for GFX and anything that is not Creative Labs for sound gets you started in the right direction. More reading at www.gamingonlinux.com/ too.
Ryan Gravel Thanks. I was able to get Windows 8.1 I'll keep this in mind though if I have to. :)
That's some great edit
I installed Ubuntu and I have it about 3 weeks.IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
What linux based OS do you suggest for gaming? Or does it not matter?
it does not matter, but the most support is being given to ubuntu and steam OS
WIndows 10
Am uses Linux Mint over from 2003 & am happy ...
Maybe he meant 2013 :P
***** 2006 sorry in 2003 am used Ubuntu
Jakub Buszko That makes more sense :D
You don't have to be a *beginner* for using easy-to-install & easy-for-a-former-windows-slave distros. I have worked for 25 years creating software for DOS, Windows & Linux. But still I have Linux Mint in my home computer, mainly because tinkering with the OS is *not* my hobby. I just want the OS to be easy and reliable.
Forgot to mention kernel panics
I have had at least 37 blue screens or more from 1998 to 2009.
Linux kernel panic, 1 in 2011.
***** Did you run windows 98 or something? perhaps ME? or was it Vista?... XP had a few issues in the early days too
***** wow that's a lot worse when I used Win 98 and later windows vista.
It taught me alot about viruses and how to fix many of the issue. but I got other stuff to do so I switched in 2009, and eventually went full linux :D
So.... kernel panics don't happen? ;)
People are far more interested in how you make and edit your videos than the actual content.
I currently have Windows 10 and know just about nothing of linux. My laptop is mainly used for internet whatever and gaming via Steam and Emulators "as taboo as it might be." For what i use it for would i benefit from from switching to linux? if so how come and how do i switch over if i decide too? Any help/advice would be awesome. thanks all
+Antwand H thanks form the response. so I download it from their website? does it just delete my Windows or what sorry and what happens to everything that's already on my computer? sorry I'm very very new to linux in every way lol
+Antwand H so if i put linux on a flash drive I can switch at will. that's kinda cool. I'm not really dedicated to windows. so going back wouldn't really bother me. I just heard about it and it has me extremely curious about it. does it just override my Windows and take its place?
+Antwand H sorry but also, what's an image burning tool?
+Antwand H wow that sounds pretty complicated lol
+Antwand H well guess I got some research to do lol how big of a flash drive do I need? and what exactly makes it so worth it?
Kernel Panic is an error ofc
Am i doomed on using linux if i need to switch dpi and hertz on my razer deathadder?
+Fueleh It looks like people have been able to modify their deathadder settings, but it's not through a GUI.
+Fueleh Are the settings saved on the mouse? then everything will work fine. my G302 dpi switch, 1000hz and light pulse settings work fine.
No the settings are saved in the software.
Welp. Logitech made better mice anyways :) get one, you wont be disappointed.
Yeah maybe, i want linux on my new gaming pc :) im thinking of linux mint, whats a good distro for gaming? :P
Time Wanker and Derp Network. Nice.
Does the Steam OS recognize the RX 480 ?
nope
Yes.
Love this.
What distro do you use?
+MrZiggyfun Muslim Channel Ubuntu Gnome on my desktop. Xubuntu on my laptop.
+The Linux Gamer Who uses gnome anymore? I thought that died a long and horrible death (and i can see why).
I use Gnome 3 because it's absolutely GORGEOUS and it complements my workflow nicely.
+The Linux Gamer Fair enough.
Wow cool video! :)
can you play cs go, gmod, gta5, cod bo3, on Linux
CS GO, yes. Gmod, yes. GTA5, no. COD, no.
+The Linux Gamer oh well that sucks
you can run those things by using playonlinux
haha, still more than on windows, but you must install drivers for graphic card ;-)
FreeDOS is an opensource updated version of DOS 9.0 with extra functionality and modern hardware support.
It can functionally just like MS DOS 9.0, or do modern networking. Some computers today are sold with FreeDOS so that people can install their own operating system and the retail shop dont have to pay for a windows license and charge extra for selling hardware.
Just one rebuke: Linux is an operating system built on top of the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is the kernel or, as you refer, the core of the operating system.
OK, Linux sounds confusing. But I keep hearing the linux name popping up Repeatedly over the past few weeks. so here's my base question - Is linux something all computers already have - only under a different name or version?
Why is it so popular?
No, it's not installed on all computers. It's an alternative Operating System to Windows and OSX. It's popular because nerds run the world and it appeals to people like me.
did you even see te vídeo?
video is simple and grt
the sound well uhm..... sounds a bit weird
Kisses to ya, buddy.
Splendidly done!
I think you were overly optimistic here, for no reason in particular. Not all distros are stable. Actually, most are not.
And... what program did you use to make the video?
So... why do i have to google to find out what Linux is for God's sake? Even after this video, I wouldn't know how to get it and what version. I mean, it sounds nice, but it doesn't sell itself whatsoever if i have to go looking for it as a desktop operating system. Still, i guess I'll dig for more info if it sounds worth it. But I would only know it's worth if I went looking to see. So, yeah, that's very strange and unusual.
+feminiedisaster Well, I'd recommend Ubuntu Linux. I didn't cover that specifically in this video--which I probably should've.
+The Linux Gamer I understand if you needed another video for it. It just leaves me with so many questions. If you do have another, I recommend linking it for convenience. This is still a nice and straight-forward video. I learned the basis for what is at least. So I still thank you for sharing.
I still just find it so odd though that it is "hidden" from consumers today. If I walk into BestBuy, a common place for people to purchase their computer, I would never hear of Linux or even be offered it. I wonder why this is if it's better than Windows...
+feminiedisaster because Windows is expensive. That's why. Best Buy can't sell Linux so they don't and won't tell you bout no Linux. In other words, CAPITALISM AT ITS FINEST!......or something.
+feminiedisaster distrowatch.com/ - This website consists of all the links to all listed distros. Linux is non-profit product, hence they do not market it. Just because you don't see a Ferrari ad on TV doesn't mean it's worse than say, BMW or Toyota, it's just people who need it eventually find it (bcoz those are the people who are kind of inclined to know about different OS and would be technically advanced enough to install/learn it). :). Welcome to the world of Linux..On a side note: Linux is running on 99.8% top 100 Supercomputers, so free doesn't always sucks.
+feminiedisaster Red Hat and SuSE used to sell retail versions of their distros in stores like BestBuy, but the market turned out to be too niche and both of these distros discontinued their retail lines in favor of focusing on the enterprise. Despite its ubiquity on literally every other kind of computing device imaginable, Linux-based systems still remain the extreme minority on the desktop.
In the mean time, the very term "Linux" itself has a lot of negative baggage attached to it. Public perception in this regard is still largely stuck in the 90's where people think there's virtually no driver support and everything has to be setup and configured on the command line, etc. This is why Valve isn't calling their system "Valve Linux" but rather SteamOS, effectively distancing themselves from it altogether (in fact, I would contend they probably need to distance themselves even more).
Ever heard of Android? It is a Linux-based system (albeit one without most of the GNU userland). So if you walked into BestBuy you might wind up purchasing a Linux-based system as distributed on a smartphone or tablet, despite never having realized it. The fact that most people who use Windows 8.1 are actually running Windows NT 6.3 has just as much to do with marketing as the fact that most people who use Android don't realize it uses Linux as its kernel.
As far as Linux being "better than Windows" that entirely depends on what you mean by "better." For one, it's not even a fair comparison, because the equivalent to Linux is not "Windows" but rather the NT Kernel. For another, the two have radically different distribution models, licensing terms, typical target audiences, and relative technical merits. It would be like asking "Which is better? WD-40 or Water?" In order to answer such a question you'd first have to ask: In what context? For what purpose? All kinds of water? When you say "Water" are you including water-based mixtures and/or compounds? By itself without these clarifications it's an extremely ambiguous question.
Are you seriously going to tell me that the animations you did for this video were done on Linux? :). None of the video editors available have any of this functionality :)
+Rytis Liaučys Blender does. In his comments however he uses a suite of different software.
"I use a combination of software including open source and proprietary software. I use Natron, Flash, GIMP, and InkScape. I also use Audacity and Ocenaudio for audio manipulation, and KdenLive for video editing."
free as in freedom not just free of price
yea im a only linux user but the fun things is that linux is used every were but if you ask a person what linux is 99.99999 would say what is that and that PISSES ME FUCKING OFF
I really wish ElementaryOS devs would come to this video and read the "Linux is free" part. Maybe then they'd stop calling their own community freeloaders and cheaters for not wanting to donate for their project.
Honestly, I wouldn't even recommend them to be honest. They not only go against what Linux stands for, but in my opinion give the wrong impression of what Linux can be. Simplicity in Linux is fine for beginners, but when you're paying money for an extremely dumbed-down version of Linux, that's where I draw the line. There aren't any error codes that I've seen whilst using Luna (or I might've just been lucky) - these are people who understand what Linux is, they're not babies! Instead of flaunting your own desktop environment, you are stuck with a cheap shitty Mac rip-off environment, even macOS is better, due to the fact it's simple, but easy to resolve issues with/use other advanced tools when needed. elementaryOS's developers might call their community freeloaders, but at least they're not pretentious faggot who think people are stupid enough to buy their crappy system. Use Kubuntu or something.
Rant over.
free as freedom, not exactly as free on money, its expensive to develop software and they give it awat for free
Still hurting from that one? Nothing about Linux says it has to be free of cost, and in many cases it isn't. And IMO the elementary guys do deserve more than they are getting, but some people just expect others to work for free.
Steam on raspberry Pi
Or steam on raspbain?
Neither. They're not compatible.
ohh thanks for the support though
what about wine? this probally wont work either.
+The Linux Gamer dude, you have a verry gread channel, greetings from german linuxer :D Please dont stop making these professional kind of videos! Thank you..
How do you make the vids btw?
Abat
+abatabat why would you post this on a question about raspberry Pi
BoyPeanut Gaming ye you are right. sry :P ^^
Так-так-так, но ведь игр на линуксе нет
Don't get it... Can someone explain a bit better?
Just what it does and stuff
Literally have my pc duel booting Linux and windows. I only use windows for gaming that's it Linux for everything else
Linux look more light then Windows...
there no blue screens just black screens :D
someone ported linux to the 3ds.
oh shit... blue screen of death
