That one about nobody encountering issues before is so true. If there is a problem with Linux, you will never say that, you'll Google it and instantly see 500 posts from years ago that all have the exact fix you need
Many people think of Linux as a basic, outdated operating system only used by tech enthusiasts and programmers. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable system that is used in a wide range of applications and industries. From servers that power the internet, to supercomputers used for scientific research, Linux is the backbone of modern technology. It's also used in embedded systems, such as routers and smart devices, as well as in mobile phones and tablets. Additionally, Linux is open-source software, meaning it can be modified, distributed and used for any purpose, by anyone. This allows for a vast array of different distributions, tailored to suit the needs of different users, from beginners to experts. Another important aspect of Linux is security, as it is less susceptible to malware and viruses compared to other operating systems. This makes it a popular choice for businesses and organizations that handle sensitive information. In short, the next time you hear someone dismiss Linux as a hobbyist's operating system, remember that it's actually the backbone of much of the technology we rely on today. And with the constant development and contributions of its community, it's not going away anytime soon.
While I have had issues with Linux, they feel much more valid and fixable, whereas on Windows, they seem to come out of nowhere and are much harder to fix, if at all, leaving me feeling hopeless.
A couple of those I actually do say (I’m a pretty basic user though, almost entirely web browsing, email, and word processing) the other 90% are hilariously accurate.
"Oh boy, my OS is nearing its end of life, and the new version does not support my current hardware. I'm gonna have to buy a new computer at the worst possible time (components have become expensive because of numerous shortages) and buy a new licence for the OS itself, all so that I could keep getting the latest security updates...."
@@xandercruz900 I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 as soon as possible on my Ryzen 1800 (which was only 3 years old at the time) and guess what? It's not supported by Windows 11; need a new CPU, and a motherboard that supports TPM2. This was during the pandemic, when PC components became crazy expensive (because of either chip shortages, or the crypto-craze) That's when I spent more time on Linux, which has now become my primary OS. Windows 10 is gonna be End-of-Life in 2025, but I couldn't care less... Windows sucks.
@@kabochaVA So? You WANTED TO, you were NOT FORCED TO. >Windows 10 is gonna be End-of-Life in 2015 Ooooooooooooooooooooooh....k. And news to you, All distros of Linux aren't supported forever either.

Linux has become pretty easy, compared to a few years ago. I really like Fedora. It doesn't take long to configure it to your liking (with a couple GNOME extensions), and it's rock-solid.
I used to love a linux distro desktop gui design which looked so modern like the windows 7 aero type design. Linux is now even available in windows as a subsystem.
Love Sam's videos! I dabbled with Linux quite a bit 10 years ago or so, and loved it. I'm older, though, and now I just want things to work. So at this point my preferred version of Linux is Chrome OS. 🙂
Linux users also never say "I'm gonna install this closed source software" and "I wouldn't gut every component of my os just so I could free up a little extra ram"
I have been keeping arch for 5 years and have never hopped distro. I've never had screen issue for my entire Linux career and most of my apps just works. I don't know if this is joke or truth I never had half of those above things you mentioned.

As a Linux user, I'd just like to interject for a moment. 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.
Things Windows users (can) never say: -"Well, at least this OS isn't basically just Spyware that collects data about what I do on my own device and sells it to third parties"
Fun fact: That cube was the reason I even remembered Linux during a field trip for computer class in 2008. We built a PC that ran Linux. Remembered it again years later while getting pissed at Windows. Been running Linux exclusively for like 2 or so years now. Never going back. (Don't ask how many times I've installed different distros or reinstalled for the heck of it.)
Everyone uses Linux, most people just don't know they do. Android is Linux. Most routers are Linux. Smart TVs are Linux. Google is Linux. Wikipedia is Linux. Microsoft Azure is Linux. Your dishwasher is probably Linux. Your car is probably Linux. Your gaming console might be Linux. It just works, so you don't even notice it. It can also do desktops. It runs on pretty much anything, so of course it does. Although FreeBSD is better in many ways.
Well sometimes it actually does just work, like when I plug in an old hdtv card remote and it works just like a keyboard to I can adjust sound and pause and skip around the video. Or when I put certain USB to ethernet adapters in and they just work.
But the "it just works" is something I have said with Linux several times. I am always pleasantly surprised that our home printer just freaking works with my linux PC and is a real bastard to install on my wife's windows PC. Every damn time. But yeah, the rest seems right haha
This is the best representation of what a linux noob looks like lmao! It gets better once you've used a distro for a bit, but yeah 😬. When starting out, it'll be rough. I distrohopped for a couple years, and finally settled on a distro that I like(debian), and it may take a little bit to settle on one yourself. Whatever your linux experience is, Good luck 😁
honest question, has anyone who uses linux actually had their screen go upside down? I've never encountered that issue on any distro yet it's been mentioned several times here. All I can find when I look it up are mentions of niche laptops with built in gyros for screen rotation (I'm guessing 2 in 1s, but even then this issue was about half a decade ago) and people who left their PS4 controllers plugged in and the gyros in that was causing auto-rotation. I'm genuinely curious at this point because it's been brought up a lot and I can find nothing online about it that seems to match as it's described.
I've had some issues with my 2-in-one, but only with x11 and never on a machine without a gyro. It's funny when it goes wrong, though. If you boot it with the screen folded over then everything will display 180 degrees rotated from their hitboxes and the mouse will be the wrong way up. Makes for an interesting user experience
@@GenericSweetener eh, I guess that would check out, X11 has been jank for the past decade or two now. I just use wayland, even on hybrid Nvidia graphics with a rolling release distro (arch repos) never had any real issues, frankly I think the linux elitists are the only ones who wayland isn't good enough for simply because they don't want it to be. Maybe if you're comparing a multi-year old LTS it's a different story but wayland has been pretty smooth for me so I've just never seriously used X11. (I also don't own any 2 in 1s)
To be "that guy", if you ever get this problem again (no matter the PC model, distro or window manager), you can find the information in the section "Tablet Mode" of the Arch Wiki. Worse (or best, if you ask me) case escenario, you get yourself a simple laptop by disabling gyro and manually rotating the screen and touch sensors.
It happened to me, more than ten years ago, on an Ubuntu distro. Very funny, very annoying. Updated the video driver, everything worked fine. Apparently the BIOS video in some laptops required some different signaling. I heard, but I'm not sure that the reversal happens only on laptops, never on desktop...
Not unintentionally, but it's not hard to do. I actually have a script on my system to toggle it so I don't have to remember the commands. (It's sometimes handy depending how I'm positioning my laptop.)
"Definitely not gonna fiddle with it now." Guh, I feel so attacked. This is too true -- I have a setup I like and prefer... and then change little things here and there. It has even spread to my Windows 11 usage! I finished setting up taskbar on top, WinXCorner, and ElevenClock... and then one day I just got the urge to try out single-click to open. And now I'm using it on Linux as well. I can't be free of it even on Windows!
Windows has always required people to tinker with it and install lots of small apps to make it useable. In fact, Linux desktop is often more rigid and gives less possibilities to tinker
@@JawshMcCullaugh oh, please. Vanilla Gnome2 sucked on its own and didn't even come close to Windows. There was never a better time for linux desktop than today
@@NJ-wb1cz Yes, vanilla gnome 2 sucked, but you could change the window manager out for compiz, and when you combine that with the tweakability that the panel had, it beat what modern gnome has for options. Yes, there's better defaults now, but there used to be more tweakability.
@@NJ-wb1cz I tried Cinnamon Mint but didn't like it much because I felt like they worked super hard to emulate Windows resulting in a UI that was like Windows but worse, and the lack of a wiki or good documentation made it a bit of a challenge to figure out where stuff was. This was exacerbated by the fact that the internet guides for Mint tend to assume you only go to the command line as a last resort, meaning a lower overall level of information. I get that they're trying to make an easy product for the casual user with a Windows background, but I couldn't really see any particularly attractive features not present on Windows. So yeah, I'll be sticking with my Arch with Awesome WM and no DE. You can't really say that can't be tinkered with.
Linux is a versatile operating system that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is the foundation of many operating systems and has become the standard for high-performance computing, cloud computing, and embedded systems. Linux is used in everything from supercomputers to mobile phones, from gaming consoles to car entertainment systems, and from home media centers to enterprise-level servers. One of the key reasons for the widespread use of Linux is its stability and reliability. Linux has been designed from the ground up to be a secure and stable operating system that can be used in a variety of applications. The Linux kernel is highly customizable, allowing developers to tailor the operating system to meet their specific needs. Additionally, Linux has a large community of developers and users who contribute to the development and maintenance of the operating system, which helps ensure that it continues to evolve and improve over time. Another important factor that contributes to the popularity of Linux is its open-source nature. This means that the source code of the operating system is freely available to everyone, which allows developers to make modifications and improvements to the code. This also means that Linux is not controlled by a single company or organization, which makes it less susceptible to commercial interests and more likely to remain independent and open in the future. In conclusion, Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable operating system that is used in a wide range of applications. Its stability, reliability, and open-source nature make it a popular choice for developers, businesses, and individuals alike. Whether you're a computer scientist working on a high-performance computing cluster, a software developer building a cloud-based application, or a home user looking for a stable and secure operating system for your personal computer, Linux is a great choice.

I'm not a normal linux user. I don't know much IT but I've been using Ubuntu forever. I used to cut and paste code a bit to get things done but now I just lazily go to their software centre and download from there now it's better than it was.

Linux user for the past 15 years, and you mostly nailed it, the I'm a girl one is the only one that is not great, there are plenty of girls using Linux. I know it was a joke, but as a Linux user I would like us to remain inclusive.
Biggest hurdle I see for Linux is one click software installation. Right now still too many software requiring chasing dependencies before the software will install or work which, for someone unfamiliar with Linux is an immediate brick wall. That bullshit has GOT to be eliminated. Software developers need to take their thumbs out of their arses and start including ALL of the software dependencies in their software installation package. Linux will become much, much more acceptable.
Well akshually chasing dependencies is not really a thing in Linux. The package manager handles dependencies automatically and transparently. Not only do one-click installs work in Linux, it is a really Linux that invented the concept.

That one about nobody encountering issues before is so true. If there is a problem with Linux, you will never say that, you'll Google it and instantly see 500 posts from years ago that all have the exact fix you need
I doubt any female Linux user ever feels the sudden need to say that they’re female so… it’s true
Many people think of Linux as a basic, outdated operating system only used by tech enthusiasts and programmers. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable system that is used in a wide range of applications and industries. From servers that power the internet, to supercomputers used for scientific research, Linux is the backbone of modern technology. It's also used in embedded systems, such as routers and smart devices, as well as in mobile phones and tablets.
Additionally, Linux is open-source software, meaning it can be modified, distributed and used for any purpose, by anyone. This allows for a vast array of different distributions, tailored to suit the needs of different users, from beginners to experts.
Another important aspect of Linux is security, as it is less susceptible to malware and viruses compared to other operating systems. This makes it a popular choice for businesses and organizations that handle sensitive information.
In short, the next time you hear someone dismiss Linux as a hobbyist's operating system, remember that it's actually the backbone of much of the technology we rely on today. And with the constant development and contributions of its community, it's not going away anytime soon.
I mean other then when using more then one video adapter Linux Mint just works.
Ty I thought I was the only one thinking the same thing.
While I have had issues with Linux, they feel much more valid and fixable, whereas on Windows, they seem to come out of nowhere and are much harder to fix, if at all, leaving me feeling hopeless.

As a Linux user,
I'd just like to interject for a moment. 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.
Things Windows users (can) never say:
-"Well, at least this OS isn't basically just Spyware that collects data about what I do on my own device and sells it to third parties"
Fun fact: That cube was the reason I even remembered Linux during a field trip for computer class in 2008. We built a PC that ran Linux. Remembered it again years later while getting pissed at Windows.
Been running Linux exclusively for like 2 or so years now. Never going back. (Don't ask how many times I've installed different distros or reinstalled for the heck of it.)
As a Linux user, I'm surprised that about 90% of this was accurate.
Agreed
you forget the hood classic " reads the manual"
I remember when I used Linux. For a week.
It's amazing os
Shame not everything "just works"
Which distro were you using?
It's not for everybody, if you're drooling and wear diapers, better stick to Windows.
Everyone uses Linux, most people just don't know they do.
Android is Linux.
Most routers are Linux.
Smart TVs are Linux.
Google is Linux.
Wikipedia is Linux.
Microsoft Azure is Linux.
Your dishwasher is probably Linux. Your car is probably Linux. Your gaming console might be Linux.
It just works, so you don't even notice it.
It can also do desktops. It runs on pretty much anything, so of course it does.
Although FreeBSD is better in many ways.
"There is no good solution for that on Linux. Just use Windows."
Any Fedora users here 👀
Fedora 37 user here.
Yep... and it just works, and I'm female... 😁
"Of course, the first laptop I tried Mint on was REALLY old, not just old compared to this year's new models, so the distro didn't work well on it."
lol the last one killed me
Well sometimes it actually does just work, like when I plug in an old hdtv card remote and it works just like a keyboard to I can adjust sound and pause and skip around the video. Or when I put certain USB to ethernet adapters in and they just work.
But the "it just works" is something I have said with Linux several times. I am always pleasantly surprised that our home printer just freaking works with my linux PC and is a real bastard to install on my wife's windows PC. Every damn time. But yeah, the rest seems right haha
Number 20: _I love the terminal. Can I have more bad permissions, please?_
This is the best representation of what a linux noob looks like lmao!
It gets better once you've used a distro for a bit, but yeah 😬. When starting out, it'll be rough. I distrohopped for a couple years, and finally settled on a distro that I like(debian), and it may take a little bit to settle on one yourself.
Whatever your linux experience is, Good luck 😁
Debian and Mint for me. New installs outside of gaming setups are Debian because they make it easy to forego a DE and just install DWM later.
U should do specific OSes with that series...love ur style!
honest question, has anyone who uses linux actually had their screen go upside down? I've never encountered that issue on any distro yet it's been mentioned several times here. All I can find when I look it up are mentions of niche laptops with built in gyros for screen rotation (I'm guessing 2 in 1s, but even then this issue was about half a decade ago) and people who left their PS4 controllers plugged in and the gyros in that was causing auto-rotation. I'm genuinely curious at this point because it's been brought up a lot and I can find nothing online about it that seems to match as it's described.
I've had some issues with my 2-in-one, but only with x11 and never on a machine without a gyro. It's funny when it goes wrong, though. If you boot it with the screen folded over then everything will display 180 degrees rotated from their hitboxes and the mouse will be the wrong way up. Makes for an interesting user experience
@@GenericSweetener eh, I guess that would check out, X11 has been jank for the past decade or two now. I just use wayland, even on hybrid Nvidia graphics with a rolling release distro (arch repos) never had any real issues, frankly I think the linux elitists are the only ones who wayland isn't good enough for simply because they don't want it to be.
Maybe if you're comparing a multi-year old LTS it's a different story but wayland has been pretty smooth for me so I've just never seriously used X11. (I also don't own any 2 in 1s)
To be "that guy", if you ever get this problem again (no matter the PC model, distro or window manager), you can find the information in the section "Tablet Mode" of the Arch Wiki.
Worse (or best, if you ask me) case escenario, you get yourself a simple laptop by disabling gyro and manually rotating the screen and touch sensors.
It happened to me, more than ten years ago, on an Ubuntu distro. Very funny, very annoying. Updated the video driver, everything worked fine.
Apparently the BIOS video in some laptops required some different signaling.
I heard, but I'm not sure that the reversal happens only on laptops, never on desktop...
Not unintentionally, but it's not hard to do. I actually have a script on my system to toggle it so I don't have to remember the commands. (It's sometimes handy depending how I'm positioning my laptop.)
I always use Apt, not Apt-get. The last time I used Apt-get was for a school project, which introduced me to Linux.
"Definitely not gonna fiddle with it now." Guh, I feel so attacked. This is too true -- I have a setup I like and prefer... and then change little things here and there. It has even spread to my Windows 11 usage! I finished setting up taskbar on top, WinXCorner, and ElevenClock... and then one day I just got the urge to try out single-click to open. And now I'm using it on Linux as well. I can't be free of it even on Windows!
Windows has always required people to tinker with it and install lots of small apps to make it useable. In fact, Linux desktop is often more rigid and gives less possibilities to tinker
@@NJ-wb1cz I really miss back when that wasn't true about Linux, but nowadays it is, at least if you use gnome it seems.
@@JawshMcCullaugh oh, please. Vanilla Gnome2 sucked on its own and didn't even come close to Windows.
There was never a better time for linux desktop than today
@@NJ-wb1cz Yes, vanilla gnome 2 sucked, but you could change the window manager out for compiz, and when you combine that with the tweakability that the panel had, it beat what modern gnome has for options. Yes, there's better defaults now, but there used to be more tweakability.
@@NJ-wb1cz I tried Cinnamon Mint but didn't like it much because I felt like they worked super hard to emulate Windows resulting in a UI that was like Windows but worse, and the lack of a wiki or good documentation made it a bit of a challenge to figure out where stuff was. This was exacerbated by the fact that the internet guides for Mint tend to assume you only go to the command line as a last resort, meaning a lower overall level of information. I get that they're trying to make an easy product for the casual user with a Windows background, but I couldn't really see any particularly attractive features not present on Windows.
So yeah, I'll be sticking with my Arch with Awesome WM and no DE. You can't really say that can't be tinkered with.
Linux is a versatile operating system that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is the foundation of many operating systems and has become the standard for high-performance computing, cloud computing, and embedded systems. Linux is used in everything from supercomputers to mobile phones, from gaming consoles to car entertainment systems, and from home media centers to enterprise-level servers.
One of the key reasons for the widespread use of Linux is its stability and reliability. Linux has been designed from the ground up to be a secure and stable operating system that can be used in a variety of applications. The Linux kernel is highly customizable, allowing developers to tailor the operating system to meet their specific needs. Additionally, Linux has a large community of developers and users who contribute to the development and maintenance of the operating system, which helps ensure that it continues to evolve and improve over time.
Another important factor that contributes to the popularity of Linux is its open-source nature. This means that the source code of the operating system is freely available to everyone, which allows developers to make modifications and improvements to the code. This also means that Linux is not controlled by a single company or organization, which makes it less susceptible to commercial interests and more likely to remain independent and open in the future.
In conclusion, Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable operating system that is used in a wide range of applications. Its stability, reliability, and open-source nature make it a popular choice for developers, businesses, and individuals alike. Whether you're a computer scientist working on a high-performance computing cluster, a software developer building a cloud-based application, or a home user looking for a stable and secure operating system for your personal computer, Linux is a great choice.

Biggest hurdle I see for Linux is one click software installation. Right now still too many software requiring chasing dependencies before the software will install or work which, for someone unfamiliar with Linux is an immediate brick wall. That bullshit has GOT to be eliminated. Software developers need to take their thumbs out of their arses and start including ALL of the software dependencies in their software installation package. Linux will become much, much more acceptable.
Well akshually chasing dependencies is not really a thing in Linux. The package manager handles dependencies automatically and transparently. Not only do one-click installs work in Linux, it is a really Linux that invented the concept.
