Explaining why Linus was WRONG... AGAIN!

[@ThatOneSeong]

Glad I wasn't the only one who felt irrationally triggered about a throwaway line. (My personal peeve was when they mentioned ProtonDB, as if people still have to rigorously search for their games' compatibility--when I legit haven't found a game that didn't just work on Linux in the past couple of months, if not a year. *That one* I thought was a blow below the belt a bit.)

I swear Linus will shill anything that isn't Linux related. Cough AtlasOS Cough.

Well said. I can relate as I felt the same when I first switched to Linux, but these days I can't understand how people tolerate going to a website, hunting for a download link and then installing something using a different broken install wizard every time. Not to mention the security issues associated with installing some crap you just downloaded from somewhere. Having users used to such a terrible system makes it far too easy for malware to spread.

It's super handy having a flash with portable Linux on to fix Windows when it implodes every six months or so. It's not for everyone for daily use, but it can be useful for anyone in cases like this.

[@Musicialgamer]

Ok for an actual comment of substance, not to sure if you know this but windows actually does have a package manager of their own....it unfortunately has never been really pushed or made known to the user experience.

[@pip5528]

Windows has an app store but it's not the most comprehensive.

[@iodreamify]

Good rant :) I'd only have one point against this, because there are some programs which are not in the repos. Then it is a bit harder than on Windows. But most programs are usually there.

Other than my bias toward using Linux, Steam Deck offers phenomenal control options in software and hardware as well as being able to adjust several performance features through the interface itself. Glad there's more competition, but I'd rather wait for Valve's next version.

Hey, this aged pretty well!

[@willmaud2359]

Package managers are nice until you specifically want the latest version of something. If you're using anything based on Debian, the package manager wont help you with that. Instead, there's 3 competing standards for software deployment(snaps, flatpaks, appimages), or you have to build it yourself. If something is too obscure, the package manager wont help you either. There's the AUR, but using that is just asking for things to break. If nothing else, Windows has consistency going for it. The way you install Python is no different from the way you install obscure abandon-ware from 2006.

[@evilkittens9]

I think that software that doesnt update on windows is the software developers fault honestly because i have software that does update without reinstalling it.

[@DigitalMoonlight]

That God Hand shirt is sick, automatic like.

[@oplkfdhgk]

agreed.

[@the1andthe269]

and here I thought a package manager was someone rich people hired to ensure their balls looked good

[@nexzorg3286]

Honestly great video.....but you know......where the monster hunter videos though?

[@nexzorg3286]

You can't hide pav........

[@thabobowa500]

This video actually wants to make me switch 😂😂

[@thabobowa500]

Why wouldn't you recommend switching thou 😂

[@crashdude58]

I think the ally looks really good, too many issues with windows though, will look at what it's like running a linux OS and then will probably pick one up if it ends up being reviewed well.

[@andrew_hd]

haha! good video!
