Most people use an operating system because they have to, to run apps/applications. They couldn't care less what the OS is or what it is called. They want the OS to boot, open the app and then get out of the way.
I use Linux for 14 years now, because it is free as in free beer! I distro hop in Virtualbox, if a distro gives more than a few problems, I delete it :) There are enough better distros! I've done enough debugging in my 44 year ICT life, I'm retired now and I expect a minimal quality.
NOBODY ever goes "oh nice my device is not booting, is time to learn!" I can excuse many things in linux land, a non bootable system due to some update will never be one of them. Trying to spin it as a positve that's a new low.
I maintain an almost exact duplicate of my daily driver (Fedora KDE/Plasma) in a VM just to try out things, especially any big deep changes. I've learned a lot just from figuring out all the differences (mostly driver related) between the two. I have Arch in another VM and I get a friend to break it in a way that is actually known to happen, just so I can learn from problem solving.
One year into this entire Linux thing and the one thing I understand about this OS is that, as it stands today, it is built for enthusiasts. Everything mentioned in the video was something an enthusiast would enjoy and a layman will be annoyed by. We really shouldn't be asking grandma to install arch and learn why the gpg keys change for no reason. Get gud scrub However, we could be marketing to other PC enthusiasts. Speaking from personal experience, by first Linux excursion was disappointing (gnome on popos). What kept me in Linux was the excitement of a new update and discovering KDE plasma's customizability. Point being: I wouldn't have stuck with Linux if I wasn't already a PC enthusiast.
But I think the steamdeck spread the word a bit that gaming on linux is possible. Brought me to Endeavor at least (and the fact that my WIndows 11 Key stopped working after a CPU swap)
I'm so sick, I can't stand it anymore. ... You have a point, on wannabees (my wording here) selling as something they are clearly not. I'm trying not to be impolite here or something. But simply from reading mailing lists, that's a boomer confession here. At one point i was investigating on a topic i found from one of those videos and turned out the wording felt almost like what I've found from reading the Wikipedia article to that. ... I am sick of it. Trying my own shitshow now to turn the tides for actual facts rather than bubbles. Let's see what viewers have to say then. :)
Linux people don't want facts and real world experience. They want a magical world where they are always right and the smartest person in the room ;) Good luck and brace yourself of a army of know it all's and yelling Karen's lol
The steam deck thing is a thing for sure, but you have to get a bit wider perspective then face value. The steam deck is pushing more games to work on steam deck thus bonus: works on Linux. The more games possible to play on Linux, will of course get a couple more over. But it's not the steam deck itself, it's the effect the steam deck has on the push of game compability
If Linux was just a thing for FOSS enthusiasts, I feel like people would be talking a lot more about Parabola, Hyperbola or Dragora and a lot less about Arch or Ubuntu, which both come packaged with non-free repositories. Of course there's a lot of hypocrisy, but I still feel like someone somewhere would be mentioning the fully free distributions at some point. It's as mainstream as it'll ever be.
Linux community need to understand apps support are very important for the common person look at android is open source somehow win the support of devs than linux and convenience is must this time and day a lot of people including myself and my friend hates terminal.
I think it is because of the Steam Deck. not necessarily desktop users. the Steam Deck is the best purchase I've made this year and all my friends want it.
I have a Steam Deck too. I'm willing to bet that it's nothing more than a glorified handheld console to the vast majority of users. Even myself. I know that it can do stuff, that it's a full fledged computer... but in actuality I don't have it fill that function.
Uhhhhhh nope. one mill sold units are nothing and the steam deck are for gamer's not computer nerds, it's not even market as a desktop but as a gaming device, so that's the users it will attract most of, AKA people that don't give a F about linux
@@KentsTechWorld I wouldn't scoff at one million units, but yeah, it is (much to my surprise) being used as a gaming device whilst being sold as a gaming device. 😱
Your prejudices are getting you down again. It doesn't matter about the OS of the steam deck, "people just want a portable gaming device" is correct, but that doesn't change the fact that it is Linux based and that people are using it. We can agree and disagree on the politics of it all day long, the fact is they are Linux users whether they know or care about that or not, in exactly the same way as if it is running Windows, it becomes a Windows OS device whether they care or not. At every point the gentlemen in the video talk about a feature, you pause and feel the need to reiterate that other OS's do exactly the same? Why do you do that? The video you are watching is a Linux focused video, of course they will talk about Linux! I'd expect videos about Windows to talk about Windows! and MAC videos to talk about MAC.. 😅🤣 I mean in your world Kent, could you imagine how long these videos would be if when everybody talks about Linux, you need to say "other OS's do the same by the way" 😂. Anybody following you're model of "react" videos on UA-cam must be on the same drugs as you... Basically no views and spewing vitriol for the sake of it. Take note English Bob.....
You have no idea what you talk about as always lmao. your world of unicorns must be a great one :D I will keep telling the people that request this, that they are not real lmao. And the views from them are kinda great for my sub count on videos like this, oh and thank for making them more noticeable in the rankings by being active and boost them with your comment. You a great fan!
@@KentsTechWorld I have no issue with whatever effect i may have on your rankings or whatever. Contrary to your partisan beliefs, im not interested in taking you down or boosting you up and i don't control the algorithm. This just exposes your militant attitude, frankly... Im all for free speech. I just don't agree with many of your videos, or i should say, i disagree with the way you tackle some videos. I think by far, your react videos are the worst because you piss all over other people's content, often take them out of context and make sweeping statements and ad hominem attacks.

A large number of people wouldn't even know what they use if it weren't plastered all over. And they still don't care. Nor should they.
