thats why switched back to windose nothing works 😢

Got rid of Windows when it balked at "activating" my fresh install because I had done it too many times. I bought the full Pro license for $200 a few years ago. Never installed it on more than the one machine. That was the final straw. I used the final install to download everything from OneDrive, and canceled my 1tb subscription to that, installed linux mint and will never use Windows again. I just bought a second computer that came with Windows. It never ran. I booted and installed Linux Mint. MS couldn't pay me to run their stuff ever again for many accumulated reasons. Never for any reason will their logo appear on my hardware.

Microsft is the best ad for linux. M$ is getting really creepy now. My hardware also wont let me leave windows as fast as i want either. I use joysticks and TrackIR 5 head tracking hardware. No linux drivers for those i dont think. I ordered a new mobo today. On the old AM 4 platform. It has 2 M2 slots so now i can keep windows for games only and all other personal stuff i can do on whatever linux distro i want to use. Not settles on one yet.

Fun fact. After Series 2 The BBC realised just how awful Robin Hood had become and as a result didn't bother to promote it much and shunted the finale just a few hours before to air to make way for tennis. (They hated it that much.)

11:41 a Tipp from me: the things that are really windows-only, can you run their tooling inside a windows-vm and USB forward the devices. Well it’s not ideal but would keep you from shifting back and forth. And some good virtualizations let you blend in, apps from the guest operating systems into your Linux environment so it looks at least like it’s a native app.

Watch how I ditch Google every day on Google (KZbin). I'm so masterminded. I need a piece of that YT subs and ads revenue 🤡.

you are concise and well spoken! you'd love the homelab hobby and self hosting. I can admire avoiding becoming a control freak with your strategy of finding things which respect privacy out of the box.

While it's true that linux nowadays is very suitable for gamers (it literally just takes installing steam and clicking one button. literally just this simple), it's a bit less so for anyone interested in mods. It can be done, and so far I'm yet to encounter something truly impossible to get working on linux, but it takes scouring through github and reddit pages, discord servers and requires quite in depth knowledge of using terminal commands and the inner workings of operating systems. I like the occasional challenge, but if you want to easily install and switch between mods for all your games, especially those less popular, then this is probably not the experience for you That being said, there's very little that genuinely can't be done and when in doubt, you can always run windows software through wine, and it's decently simple

If you want to use your computer like a normal person use windows. If you think you`re something special and or are looking for a live, try Linux.

12.3K subs channel with only a few hundred views per video seems sus. Did you buy fake subs? Even I with only 200 subs get several thousands of views per video.

This is a very well put together video, I can really tell you've put a good amount of time into figuring out what some great options are. I'd love to see a video about your graphene experience, I've never looked into it.

I completely moved to Linux like 5 years ago. At work I use it on my laptop and on my webserver, privately on my Laptop, my Gaming PC and my home server. It's impossible for me to go back to Windows, which I used for the most time in my life. It has some issues, but Windows also has some issues. You have to use the terminal from time to time, but let's be honest, I also had to use the Windows shell from time to time. The only difference is the Linux shell is more powerful. But you find commands for all your problems online just like with cmd.exe or the Powershell on Windows. What I can recommend: Don't make half things. When you want to try out Linux, do it properly. Which means, migrate completely, with all your data, and don't give up on the first problems, use it for at least a year or so. Everything else makes no sense. It takes a bit time to adapt, to learn, to get into it, and without that, you don't get the benefits and the real experience. And regarding to hardware and drivers: Always lookup if hardware you want to buy has Linux support. There's always a product which has Linux support, and often, those are the better ones. If a manufacturer implements official Linux support, it really cares for the product and the customers. I'm a musician and some stuff did not work very well with Linux, but now all hardware I use has Linux support and man it's so much better. Linux has things like Pipewire or JACK which is so extremely powerful.

Same here! Inspired by LTT's de-googling videos (banned from YT), I've been gradually changing over. After watching many self hosting videos and trying ProxMox on an old Dell OptiPlex, I've landed on Unraid hosting Nextcloud, Immich, Calibre, and Audiobookshelf. Also switched my home network to UniFi with IDS/IPS and Teleport for easy remote access to my Unraid server. It's been a fun and not too expensive hobby. Now I just need to set up offsite backup. Cheers! 😁

There are some people that were exactly in your position, like @thelinuxexperiment and @Chris Titus Tech, search for them.

I've switch to Linux (Ubunto) since 2018 from Mac user. I won't lie, I switch back and forth since there are some Apps in Mac that I need to use since I have other Apple devices. But, if there's a way that Apple will allow non-Apple devices to use their Apps, I'll celebrate! Also, thanks for mentioning security. Obviously, there's big arguments to why Windows or Apple is way better than other Linux distros and that's because they are big and they afford to hire best cyber security to safeguard their environment. Keep Linux community grow and please create more Linux-themed video/tutorials.

The conclusion I came to recently, after having to buy a win10 machine (i still have Win7 on two laptops but don't go online with them), is that I'm going to have to partition the Win10 system I just got, run the win programs on that and save it to thumbdrive and upload it from Linux once Win10 support is gone. Best of both worlds...I hope! I'll still be able to keep Win10 for some software and use Linux online. I hope! That's the gameplan anyway.

A few years ago I used Zorin on my 10+ year old laptop. The operating system did not load the right driver for the build in WiFi adapter so I had to use a command line workaround which was not ideal. I was sought of doing this many years ago on other Linux systems building software components via internet searches cut and paste etc. so I could use WiFi.

A lot of these videos tell about how they benefitted from making the switch but don't tell the fundamentals, how they made the switch...

Have a big cry and go forward.

Same here. Linux has evolved so much over the years that anyone can use it because of its user-friendly interface. It’s now truly amazing, which is why I also switched to Linux Fedora Workstation permanently about three months ago.

Wait.. You turned the file into a DEB file? Oh, you mean the installer has failed and you used "makeresolvedeb" project. Did you tried running it under ROOT? Did you installed drivers correctly? Which Graphics Card do you use?

A debilitating toe injury is the most archetypal linux user ailment I’ve ever heard

I have some questions not addressed in the video. Thanks in advance to anyone who might see and reply to this post :) 1) Does Linux use less hard drive space than Windows 10? I have a small SSD. 2) Does Linux run Adobe Photoshop 6? 3) Does Linux use less RAM than Windows 10? 4) Does Linux have a built-in anti-virus app like Windows Defender? 5) What browser works well in Linux?

Stopped dual booting between Windows and Linux after Windows 10 arrived.,then went total Linux only.No way do I need to rely on Microsoft malware to live my life.

U don't need to update every time

The only thing keeping me from maining Linux is that I have yet to find a distro or overall setup in which any audio fixes have worked for me, and because I haven’t found a solution to my fans not automatically adjusting to load. A huge part of the reason I haven’t found a solution to either of these things? Linux community generally writes their documentation poorly and with a lot of assumed knowledge on the part of the end user. Sorry, I haven’t really found the time to sit down and learn everything to know about GitHub, building applications, or finding obscure drivers sitting somewhere on Reddit from 7 years ago. Please just write instructions as if the end user is unfamiliar with the process and trying to learn. It’s not hard to assume everyone else is dumb or ignorant.

Did you consider KDenLive?

OSes are already becoming obsolete. The future is localized, black box style, standalone AI tools that will provide the necessary environment and perform all the functions and features a user requires.

I just subscribed

Dear OS, please just run my programs and stop trying to help please

Windows 7 was the last straw for me. Left Microsoft garbage to Ubuntu. will never go back!

Just run linux as your daily driver for entertainment from the couch... then have a windows PC for the serious stuff

3:22 I didn't even install a Windows partition on my new computer

I wish more control engineers would point out the elephant for us and that is there is almost no compatibility for our software on Linux. I typically run Unitronics VisiLogic, UniLogic and U90 Series IDE. Now I have been playing with Arduino's PLC IDE. None of these have worked for me on Linux. All my C++ programming I do on my Linux machine but unfortunately at this time I am bound to Microsoft for the foreseeable future. I truly wish someone could either find a way to run these programs or someone had a compatibility layer that would work. I know many engineers who would fully transition in an instant if it wasn't for this. The gaming community is starting to get aid on their transition to Linux with the help of Steam and Proton compatibility layer. We industrial automation guys need to start voicing this more and perhaps we may start being heard. If any Linux Gurus out there can make the mentioned programs work, please please please let me know!

I have been slowly making the switch over to Linux. You should look into KVM and QEmu. If you have or can get a motherboard that supports 2 GPUs, or you are savvy enough to find and use a script that can swap back and forth as your launch your VM, you can setup a Windows VM with GPU passthrough. Besides some audio desync issues I see from time to time (obviously unfortunate for recording and editing, just need to be aware) it works nearly flawlessly 99% of the time. As long as you don't plan on playing any online required games with kernel anti-cheat. They will throw a fit if you use a VM, and many choose not to support Linux.

You look like dream lmao

My only issue is the anti-cheat support in some games isn't there, and it doesn't look like that's going to improve *sigh* Maybe I'll just accept the loss, and cut those games out

It doesn't have to be a binary choice. I have a Winbloze box for gaming and browsing, but I keep it on a separate physical network, along with all the IoT nodes. My 'real' computers, the Linux workstation and my NAS are on their own network, totally isolated from the sketchy crap. Even though it's isolated, I'm still not planning to move the Win10 box to Win11; the functional description of Recall sounds like an April Fools joke.

I liked Linux better than Windows for the OS, win 11 gets me 171fps on my gaming benchmark where Garuda Linux got me 125fps, I want to switch but the gaming performance for me just wasn't quite enough to make the move

Windows with paid license shouldn't even have ads to begin with 😂 it's paid for f sake

If you are able, keep one machine on Linux and another on Windows for those tasks that cannot be done on Linux - yet. Or dual boot - but then you have to shut down Linux in order to boot Windows. With machines you can pass files across your network.

one of us, one of us! 😊

You can still trust a company while using Linux. Fedora is kind of like that, it's sponsored by a huge company called RedHat which is kind of the "Microsoft" of the Linux world . Fedora I feel is the best distro for most people, but Mint is good too of course. RE:The DaVinci Resolve issues, Nobara which is a fork of Fedora comes with all the prepackaged ways to install DaVinci without any hassle. I had to tinker with nothing, it just worked when I installed it through Nobara. I ended up not using it because I have to pay for the codecs to work which is unbelievably dumb considering it works without any issue on the free version on Windows. I would rather just keep a Windows machine for video editing than do that personally, though kdenlive has not disappointed me yet. Render times maybe? Though I am doing 4k content and it's not that bad to be honest. I can still use my computer while it renders, which with Vegas on Windows I couldn't. It's also very easy to learn and it's actually free.

I have put Linux Mint on my elderly grandmother's computer and with a cronjob that just auto updates the packages without notification. It snaps, cleans out older snaps and updates the packages after a check with a -s flag. I was a _bit_ worried about this but so far I have had no complaints from her. I ask her about the computer and she just goes "Oh no, it works completely fine" and thanks me. She doesn't really install packages and she only uses Firefox anyways. I already installed whatever she needs aside from that which comes with Mint which is pretty much everything most need anyways. I will see how the system update goes which is not automated when that comes around. I told her I will help her with that process when it comes, but I don't think there will be any issue tbh, Mint is so stable.

I tried switching but wine just dosnt cut it for me

same reason why I quit Windows!!!

@6:25 ….what? I need a different mouse? So confused, I thought I just needed to download Mint and everything would work 😮😢

VIRTUAL OSK UNDER WAYLAND!!! WHERE TF IS IT?????

How did you get your taskbar transparent and what add-on do you use for your CPU usage in the top right of your screen?

Google TeamOS. NEVER run stock WINDOWS!
