if you want to offer your customizability options in exchange for not being able to break your system you can install what's called an immutable linux distro
Hahaha. I guess you've never installed an immutable system. They are far from unbreakable, especially from a new user perspective. You can easily have your system "break" from the new user perspective by something going awry with the KDE or Gnome settings in your home folder.
You can hardly break you system if you don't touch the terminal or execute any "sudo something" command, something you don't need to use to run your system and install programs like you would on a Windows or MacOS. You generally only need it for already advanced stuff or debugging when you fucked up something because you ran a sudo command.

why is no-one mentioning that just about every non-buntu distro (canonical have their own thing that does basically the same job but is technically different) can install flatpaks, which don't require any root privilages, from their software store? Of all the issues people are pointing out that he didn't mention alternatives and not the things that he just flat out got wrong
As a part time linux user for the past 2 years, i still don’t get how doing everything through the terminal is in any ways better than not doing that. I think they just want me to believe that so i don’t notice none of the 8+ graphical shells i’ve tried seemed t have been designed or thought out at all by a qualified human being. (Inb4 one of them comes tell me akchually shell doesn’t refer to gui things)
sometimes ( mostly) you get more options through the terminal. Most people don't need all the options. It's also the easiest way to run stuff as an admin. I find I don't use all the fancy, newest stuff in the GUIs either
simple: cause it's a fucking pain in the ass to use an app store, on any OS, for any app it sucks on windows, it sucks on mac, it sucks on GNOME and KDE, synaptic sucks, YaST sucks, everything out there finds a way to suck somehow
Proud Linux user here! I'm so happy I switched from Windows, because all my games had more FPS, my one HDD doesn't randomly start spinning up anymore when I'm not even at the pc. And there are so much things I can customize and if anything annoys me, it's easily distinguishable. Also I'm so proud of the efficiency and security. With btrfs, I'm compressing the whole disk and encrypting it, making much more stuff actually fit on it
ah yes i love being in the apple ecosystem and having to pay hundreds or thousands of bucks because apple decided to kill a good and working piece of technology
And I love using inferior versions of applications because Apple forces developers to use a strict list of technologies. For example, iOS web browsers can only use WebKit, and nothing can use Vulkan. I love powerful hardware that's nerfed by bad software!
Which one of the long list of software screwups are you referring to here? I moved to Mac in 2008 and caught leopard, then snow leopard, but besides 10.9 Mavericks it’s been a downhill slope ever since.
Oh boy, the comments section is a warzone. 😂😂 As a linux user myself, I understand why linux users have the reputation of being passionate about linux. It's because we believe linux is the best since all of us start off from either MacOS or Windows and we can definitively give a review of all of the Operating Systems, we know them more intimately to give an informed recommendation. Also we want linux to succeed because we see what microsoft and apple are doing to the software industry and we don't want people to be stuck in those ecosystems without a way out. Linux is free, as in freedom.
What's great is that I got my first mac last month and one of the first things I had to do was go in the terminal so I could make a folder outside of the documents folder. I brought it to a friend and he was like "Why would you want to do that?" haha
What? I have made at least 10 folders in my home folder and it hasn't even given a warning Did you try to make it outside the /users/ folder? Or did you not manage to find your home folder? Because if it is the latter yeah it is a bit annoying that home is oddly hidden, to access it you either have to: - Open finder preferences and add it to the sidebar from there - Control-click the text at the top of the window that shows the name of the current folder you are in, at which point it will show you the directory in a drop down menu - Search /users/[user]/ in spotlight - Right click finder in the dock and click go to folder and type the directory - Hold option at which point the directory is going to show up at the bottom of the screen Unrelated but hidden folders are shown with command-option-. if you are looking for the /users/[user]/library folder And also holding option when the control-click menu allows for more options like copying the directory, opening something in a new window and opening the inspector which I can't notice any difference from the get info menu other than that it has a smaller font and no opening/closing animation why is it there I guess this turned into useful finder stuff that are not explained anywhere
0:12 Since this is the same joke he made like a year ago, I'm starting to wonder if he actually went through something like that during his linux experience as i never had these types of issues, unless I'm missing something.
I had weird behaviors with dual monitors setup I think on Linux Mint XFCE or cinammon a time ago, even after installed, it was mainly related to not being able to change the primary display accordingly, but upside down displays are a new one to me
Terminal lets you do things like "find song files in my Music folder and subfolders, which has 'volter' in the name and move them all to folder 'boring'". Very useful, very powerful. But you need to actively learn how to do it first.
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!
Now that you've pointed out MacOS has a terminal, are you going to point out in the sequel that MacOS is based on BSD, itself a version of Unix? Or that the shutdown command in MacOS requires sudo? 😀
Word being missing is true (besides the web one), but chrome is natively supported by google so it’s most definitely there, and photoshop is relatively easy to run with a little bit of wine trickery
1:54 Google Chrome is available on Linux… Also, who uses Linux doesn't exactly want to use Micro$oft software, so not many Linux users miss it. But Micro$oft actually made Edge available on Linux.
Why do Linux users get so mad , when Someone don’t like something about it ? I mean I have windows , worked on Linux for Tcp/Ip in college. Its a little different, difficult. But I can Criticise Windows and have a coffee . This doesn’t seems to work in Linux Case .
So close but got a few things just wrong. Flatpak support is built into most gui software stores for instance, and flatpaks are one of the only commands that make actualy system changes without needing sudo at all. Otherwise though pretty solid. Still don't understand that upside down screen thing though, there are basically no reports of an issue like that. (I mean there are a handful, but exceptionally few, like one or two posts that are 5+ years old on niche hardware)
agree on the upside-down ... but it was a satire overall and exaggerations about being different and being faulty (upside down could mean both) are okay^^
The upside down screen was just a reference to the various weird ways that Linux can interact with highly custom hardware, what with Sam's experience using Linux being on an M1 MacBook. Upside down screens might be very rare but on more integrated systems it's not uncommon to get weird stuff happening.
@@jimmyneutron129 so a distro has them like I said, and a distro has their own implementation of the exact same concept that behaves identically as far as 90% of users are concerned... I fail to see your point.
@@bosstowndynamics5488 hey mate? Yeah, try running windows on an M1. Pointing to m1s as an argument is like saying that MacOS is unstable because it has some issues when running on my smart fridge that I reversed engineered the hardware to turn into a hackintosh. The fact that linux runs *_at all_* on entirely locked down computers with custom hardware that only a single company in the world has the full specs to really ain't arguing the point you seem to think it is.
The terminal on OSX is just the start. You don't actually have to boot into a graphical session at all- you can run it as a TTY just like linux. Or could, as of Snow Leopard.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact GNU plus Linux or as I have recently come to calling it GNU/Linux
🤓 well, actually: the promt "sudo", is only applied for certain type of distros, depending on what kind of package manager it uses. i use garuda os, with is based on arch btw, so in my case, the promp "sudo" is changed with the prompt: "pacman." yes, that pacman. and i even got a little pacman animation with it, while i installing or updating my stuff.
flatpaks can be installed through your package manager, multiple distros have flatpaks added to their package manager by default. the whole point of them is to be easy to install and work universally across distros, so you kinda described the opposite of what they are. honestly, if you pick an easy to use distro you should almost never have to use the terminal if you're not a power user. you might copy and paste some commands for troubleshooting specific issues, but for things like installing programs and games you dont need the terminal.
- How many things can a mac user get wrong about Linux? - Yes. Chrome is available. Graphical app stores are capable of refreshing data and dealing with Flatpak apps. Cube effect isn't gone forever, it's just being rewritten (old version became impossible to maintain). There are fairly decent substitutions for office suite and Photoshop; it doesn't take much to look them up online.
I installed a user friendly Linux. For the first month of Linux use, you understand why it is not a more popular operating system. Now it does get better once you get use to the system.
Never came across your channel as far as I can remember, but the title made me watch: You had me there for a moment! But then I realized who your parody was really about!

Oh the Apple Fanbois in these comments here are hilarious!
Chrome is available on linux, and photoshop (at least the 2019 version) works in wine, you are right about microsoft office though, we don't have that, and our replacements, though usable, are not 100% feature complete, particularly our excel clones.

why is no-one mentioning that just about every non-buntu distro (canonical have their own thing that does basically the same job but is technically different) can install flatpaks, which don't require any root privilages, from their software store? Of all the issues people are pointing out that he didn't mention alternatives and not the things that he just flat out got wrong
This brought back some serious Linux PTSD.
i almost choked my self at "SUDO" @ 2:50 ,,,🤣
S*DO
fun fact: sudo is on MacOS as well
As a part time linux user for the past 2 years, i still don’t get how doing everything through the terminal is in any ways better than not doing that. I think they just want me to believe that so i don’t notice none of the 8+ graphical shells i’ve tried seemed t have been designed or thought out at all by a qualified human being.
(Inb4 one of them comes tell me akchually shell doesn’t refer to gui things)
sometimes ( mostly) you get more options through the terminal. Most people don't need all the options. It's also the easiest way to run stuff as an admin.
I find I don't use all the fancy, newest stuff in the GUIs either
It's unambiguous, self-documenting, and generally faster. Verbally describing a task seems a lot more efficient than playing charades
simple: cause it's a fucking pain in the ass to use an app store, on any OS, for any app
it sucks on windows, it sucks on mac, it sucks on GNOME and KDE, synaptic sucks, YaST sucks, everything out there finds a way to suck somehow
@@supercellex4D wait do you think people have to pick between an APP STORE and a TERMINAL on pc (and mac for that matter) to install stuff?
@@seanfaherty i mean there being more options in the terminal is only true if the GUI is bad enough (my original point)
That slap to the monitor so on point😅😂
That ending was beautiful. Also how he plainly sensed the Terminal icon from within the Launchpad icon and from so far away!
And then he discovers sudo returns!

Proud Linux user here! I'm so happy I switched from Windows, because all my games had more FPS, my one HDD doesn't randomly start spinning up anymore when I'm not even at the pc.
And there are so much things I can customize and if anything annoys me, it's easily distinguishable. Also I'm so proud of the efficiency and security. With btrfs, I'm compressing the whole disk and encrypting it, making much more stuff actually fit on it
17 years linux user here - I stopped customizing 10 years ago and I like my distros as they are - not even changing the default background. 🥰

ah yes i love being in the apple ecosystem and having to pay hundreds or thousands of bucks because apple decided to kill a good and working piece of technology
And I love using inferior versions of applications because Apple forces developers to use a strict list of technologies. For example, iOS web browsers can only use WebKit, and nothing can use Vulkan. I love powerful hardware that's nerfed by bad software!
Which one of the long list of software screwups are you referring to here? I moved to Mac in 2008 and caught leopard, then snow leopard, but besides 10.9 Mavericks it’s been a downhill slope ever since.

Oh boy, the comments section is a warzone. 😂😂
As a linux user myself, I understand why linux users have the reputation of being passionate about linux. It's because we believe linux is the best since all of us start off from either MacOS or Windows and we can definitively give a review of all of the Operating Systems, we know them more intimately to give an informed recommendation. Also we want linux to succeed because we see what microsoft and apple are doing to the software industry and we don't want people to be stuck in those ecosystems without a way out. Linux is free, as in freedom.
Linux, the best OS humanity has ever gotten. Switch to Linux
wait you didn't have any corn!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you don’t value your time
Ahhh, Sam adopted a cute little penguin.
What's great is that I got my first mac last month and one of the first things I had to do was go in the terminal so I could make a folder outside of the documents folder. I brought it to a friend and he was like "Why would you want to do that?" haha
What?
I have made at least 10 folders in my home folder and it hasn't even given a warning
Did you try to make it outside the /users/ folder? Or did you not manage to find your home folder?
Because if it is the latter yeah it is a bit annoying that home is oddly hidden, to access it you either have to:
- Open finder preferences and add it to the sidebar from there
- Control-click the text at the top of the window that shows the name of the current folder you are in, at which point it will show you the directory in a drop down menu
- Search /users/[user]/ in spotlight
- Right click finder in the dock and click go to folder and type the directory
- Hold option at which point the directory is going to show up at the bottom of the screen
Unrelated but hidden folders are shown with command-option-. if you are looking for the /users/[user]/library folder
And also holding option when the control-click menu allows for more options like copying the directory, opening something in a new window and opening the inspector which I can't notice any difference from the get info menu other than that it has a smaller font and no opening/closing animation why is it there
I guess this turned into useful finder stuff that are not explained anywhere
0:12 Since this is the same joke he made like a year ago, I'm starting to wonder if he actually went through something like that during his linux experience as i never had these types of issues, unless I'm missing something.
I was also wondering the same thing, he does this joke a lot, and never once have I ever experienced it.
I had weird behaviors with dual monitors setup I think on Linux Mint XFCE or cinammon a time ago, even after installed, it was mainly related to not being able to change the primary display accordingly, but upside down displays are a new one to me
This was an excellent video. The thumbnail made me laugh and the rest of the video was an absolute gem. You even got the upside down monitor issue!
Terminal lets you do things like "find song files in my Music folder and subfolders, which has 'volter' in the name and move them all to folder 'boring'". Very useful, very powerful. But you need to actively learn how to do it first.
Sudo is like Window$'s "Right-click→Run as Administrator" but more powerful.
By powerful, sudo is running as if the operating system itself run the command (in CS terms, root). Btw, sudo is on MacOS's terminal as well.
@@tanawatjukmongkol2178 sudo account on MacOS are disabled by default, but it is Simple to enable it.
Huh? Chrome is on Linux.
Linux is a kernel not a os. Linux is the kernel
You don’t say…
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!
What? I'm watching this in Chrome in linux...in arch btw
Google Chrome is supported by the way
Chrome is absolutely available on Linux, where did you get that from?
"Sudo, of course, is a very powerful curse" with Harry Potter playing 💀
Google chrome have native linux app.
Google Chrome does work on Linux. I don't know where you got the idea that it doesn't.
it wasn't in his package manager "app store" so he was lost... lol
Now that you've pointed out MacOS has a terminal, are you going to point out in the sequel that MacOS is based on BSD, itself a version of Unix? Or that the shutdown command in MacOS requires sudo? 😀
Soon Sam will be overcome by the Linux Madness. He has almost passed the Linux Event Manager Horizon and there will be no return.
Word being missing is true (besides the web one), but chrome is natively supported by google so it’s most definitely there, and photoshop is relatively easy to run with a little bit of wine trickery
Inb4 the thumbnail is inevitably changed to “sudo” from “sodu”
it's changed to sodu

I think you meant sudo, not sodu.

1:54 Google Chrome is available on Linux…
Also, who uses Linux doesn't exactly want to use Micro$oft software, so not many Linux users miss it.
But Micro$oft actually made Edge available on Linux.
I hate you. I'm a full-time Linux user but this is so funny I laughed so hard and spat my lunch all over my keyboard.
Why do Linux users get so mad , when Someone don’t like something about it ? I mean I have windows , worked on Linux for Tcp/Ip in college. Its a little different, difficult. But I can Criticise Windows and have a coffee . This doesn’t seems to work in Linux Case .
Your videos are hilarious as heck, and accurate! Amazing work as always!

So close but got a few things just wrong. Flatpak support is built into most gui software stores for instance, and flatpaks are one of the only commands that make actualy system changes without needing sudo at all.
Otherwise though pretty solid. Still don't understand that upside down screen thing though, there are basically no reports of an issue like that. (I mean there are a handful, but exceptionally few, like one or two posts that are 5+ years old on niche hardware)
agree on the upside-down ... but it was a satire overall and exaggerations about being different and being faulty (upside down could mean both) are okay^^
uh flathub was enabled into Fedora 38 which is the latest version of Fedora and i'm not even sure Ubuntu has flatpaks by default on store only snaps
The upside down screen was just a reference to the various weird ways that Linux can interact with highly custom hardware, what with Sam's experience using Linux being on an M1 MacBook. Upside down screens might be very rare but on more integrated systems it's not uncommon to get weird stuff happening.
@@jimmyneutron129 so a distro has them like I said, and a distro has their own implementation of the exact same concept that behaves identically as far as 90% of users are concerned... I fail to see your point.
@@bosstowndynamics5488 hey mate? Yeah, try running windows on an M1. Pointing to m1s as an argument is like saying that MacOS is unstable because it has some issues when running on my smart fridge that I reversed engineered the hardware to turn into a hackintosh. The fact that linux runs *_at all_* on entirely locked down computers with custom hardware that only a single company in the world has the full specs to really ain't arguing the point you seem to think it is.
I tried installing a mouse driver on Linux once, by the end of it I was a fully fledged developer.
The cube and wobbly windows is still available out of the box with KDE Plasma
The terminal on OSX is just the start. You don't actually have to boot into a graphical session at all- you can run it as a TTY just like linux.
Or could, as of Snow Leopard.

What on earth is wrong with "The Terminal"? It's got Tom Hanks AND Catherine Zeta-Jones AND John effin' Williams AND "medicine is for goat"!
🤓 well, actually: the promt "sudo", is only applied for certain type of distros, depending on what kind of package manager it uses. i use garuda os, with is based on arch btw,
so in my case, the promp "sudo" is changed with the prompt: "pacman."
yes, that pacman. and i even got a little pacman animation with it, while i installing or updating my stuff.
I'm using linux exclusively for 17 years (private and on my job) and I find it really amusing what is explained in this video - nice satire 😂
flatpaks can be installed through your package manager, multiple distros have flatpaks added to their package manager by default. the whole point of them is to be easy to install and work universally across distros, so you kinda described the opposite of what they are. honestly, if you pick an easy to use distro you should almost never have to use the terminal if you're not a power user. you might copy and paste some commands for troubleshooting specific issues, but for things like installing programs and games you dont need the terminal.
hey sam, there's google chrome for linux.
The video is too silly....

"What the hell is this.. ahha but apple no, that's soooo Linux!"

- How many things can a mac user get wrong about Linux?
- Yes.
Chrome is available. Graphical app stores are capable of refreshing data and dealing with Flatpak apps. Cube effect isn't gone forever, it's just being rewritten (old version became impossible to maintain). There are fairly decent substitutions for office suite and Photoshop; it doesn't take much to look them up online.
