the urge to switch to linux gets stronger everyday. Update: I upgraded to Linux mint! Feels right at home with the UI! Although it's kind of frustrating when learning bash commands. Thank you everyone for the encouragement! How did this comment get so many likes?

[@TherronKeen]

do it! I tried gaming on Linux about six (?) years ago. it sucked. I tried it out again this week because I didn't know about Proton until recently. it's *fucking awesome*

All EA Games, roblox, Rainbow6seige fortnite And all kernal level anti cheat do not work, if you want a better list check protonDB. But overall gaming on Linux for me is the best I can multi task better and use my time more efficiently , I use arch BTW plus a tiling window manager i3wm I say that just to guide people to the golden Linux path, i3 and arch are not my main anymore but is the right path for all beginners, But not for me, nixos I'm coming baby

I'm not new to Linux but stuck around just because you went command line and did a good job of explaining what you were doing. It's great that you dont *need* to use the command line for most things with a good destop distro but it's always good to be comfortable with the cli for when you do need to use it.

I've been searching a video like this one. I switched to Linux today and after seeing my games not working I was planning to change back to windows. You are a real life saver!

People when they can play every game they want except those 2 online games they barely play : UNUSABLE Also yeah, use the terminal, it's great, it's not just "nerd stuff", it's a way to do things more efficiently, you can install as many things as you want at the same time with it, without having to open anything else, no installer to look up for on internet, no bloatware installed if you forget to uncheck a box! You don't HAVE to use it, but you'll gain a lot by learning to :) I'm glad about all the huge new wave of Linux tutorials since that copilot recall announcement, it's gonna make things easier for people moving from Windows to Linux, thank you

[@cookieface80]

The law doesn't consider piracy as stealing either, the crime is copyright infringement.

[@Daktyl198]

And, it's only copyright infringement if you distribute the copies of the work. Simply having the copies is not illegal.

[@cookieface80]

@@Daktyl198 That's not true, your version is still a copy. What you're allowed to do is have a backup.

[@Daktyl198]

​@@cookieface80 If you download a copy of an illegal ROM, the worst you can suffer is a civil case from the publisher themselves where they say that you stole money from them by not purchasing the game. The worst you'd have to do is pay the price of the game(s). However, distributing copyrighted works is a felony, which can land you with some extremely high fines and jail time, as well as a criminal record. The reason people get scared about torrenting is that by default, when you torrent something you are distributing it as well as downloading.

[@AbsurdScandal]

​@@Daktyl198Really? Downloading something through torrenting counts as distributing it?

[@Daktyl198]

@@AbsurdScandal Yes. The way torrenting works is by having everybody who is accessing a torrent also be an uploader for it. That's why torrenting gives such fast download speeds, because you're downloading from many people at once. It also has a lot of other benefits to regular downloads. "Seeding" a torrent after downloading it is the act of leaving your client running with the full file so that other people can download it from your system. It's considered the nice thing to do, in return for having used the other people to download the file in the first place. By being an uploader, you are officially distributing any file in your client. For many people, this is fine as they're using it to download otherwise normal stuff. For pirates, it means that using torrents can lead to worse consequences if you're caught by the law.

[@WMan37]

8:11 this is actually an inefficient way of doing things, what you actually wanna do is go into Steam Settings - > Compatibility -> Click "Enable Steam Play for all other titles", and it just automatically does this for every game in your library.

[@ThePlayerOfGames]

The trade off is it forces it to override all Linux-native games to their windows version, and whilst you can restore it using the compatability override of "Steam runtime 1/2/3" it isn't as effective as just using your system. I'd advise against using "Force Steam Play for all titles" having used it for a year and having the fallout from it. That said, it's also the *only* way you can download demos for games that aren't Linux native on Steam.

[@WMan37]

@@ThePlayerOfGames "The trade off is it forces it to override all Linux-native games to their windows version" I tend not to have an issue with this, some linux games like to make a mess of my /home directory, and in some cases, the windows version run through proton is better. For example: There's a game called Tunnet that I really like, has control issues on the native linux version, but works fine in proton. I only care that my games run.

[@peanutbutter9072]

I just want to say thanks for explaining the terminal. Most videos I've seen just show the command instead of explaining it.

[@AMurderOfLobs]

4:30 Almost correct. It's not that you already put your password in that terminal, it's specifically that you RECENTLY put your sudo password in that terminal. The period of time that you're in the no-password zone is a configurable setting...somewhere. I think it's 5 minutes by default, don't quote me on that. But my point is, you may have to put your password in the same terminal multiple times, provided there is a good deal of time in between each use of sudo.

[@NoCommentaryGameplay_ID]

[@sebtroop23]

Hey your channel looks nice! Straight to the point, I did understand everything but I do see the posibility of some people getting confused if you are not specific enough with some things. Anyway, great video and I'm subbing cuz I really like to learn linux with an actual person showing the desktop and the commands in real time.

[@_Learnix]

thank you lots!

[@anarchicnerd666]

One thing I'll add to this - drivers. If you use cutting edge hardware, you might not be able to use Linux Mind or Ubuntu . So I switched to Linux 3 days ago and I run an AMD RX 7900 GRE, which only came to the west a few months ago and is unsupported by Linux Mint and Ubuntu (tried switching to those first). So if your hardware is brand spanking new, you might need a different distro (you can update the kernel, but that's advanced user stuff and not a n00b process). If your hardware is unsupported, your best bets for beginners are Garuda Linux (I went this route), or Fedora.

[@ascrassin]

To supplement this, Linux is generally even worse than windows when it comes to set up with multiple graphic card. So yea, it can be a coin flip if you can make it work or not.

[@JesusBleach]

You deserve more subs. Also. If you use protonGE 8-11 you can play fighterZ online just fine but just with Linux users. If you play with Windows users you gonna get kick
