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.

It's stupid that companies have to do that but, as the EU has proven, democracy works; your right to private choices goes out the window as soon as a few million people don't like the port your putting on the devices they're voluntarily purchasing.

"that doesn't let you customize anything, which means, you can't break anything" As a Linux user (software developer), this is so true that hurts. I just fixed my windows installation because I selected the wrong disk when I tried to unmount my USB device.

[@gerhard_adler]

Funny :D A few inaccuracies I'd like to point out though. 1. Google Chrome runs natively on Linux 2. Sudo isn't a magic spell for every command 😉 It just gives a command admin rights (like the notification on Windows) 3. Flatpaks are probably the easiest way to install apps on Linux. In a distro where they're enabled by default, you can search for any flatpak in the software downloader, and it just works. 4. The terminal isn't needed for most basic tasks any more. But for more advanced use, it won't go long before you need it unfortunately. (If you learn it though, oh boy is it a practical tool 😉) Overall, there's still a way to go before Linux is as easy as MacOS or Windows, but it improves loads every year, and I don't think it'll be too long before it's considered on the same level as Windows and MacOS

You don’t say…

[@bananaj]

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!

As someone who's seen the thumbnail, I can confirm that you misspelled "sudo" in the thumbnail.

[@Abaw]

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.

[@___Sunflower]

I was also wondering the same thing, he does this joke a lot, and never once have I ever experienced it.

[@Pedro-zh6kk]

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

[@mariotabali2603]

I think every macos user i ve seen has used brew install. Mac is proud of its unix heritage since nextstep

[@JBBell]

I was amused until you bleeped s*do, then I outright died. A pretty mean yet accurate picture of the Linux experience. (Nobody tell him about BSD and MacOS)

[@DontKnowDontCare]

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.

[@AarshParashar]

Fun fact: Darwin is a UNIX like OS, and XNU kernel have many features forked from FreeBSD and OSMFK.

[@unlokia]

Fun fact: I think of you don’t know this fundamental level stuff by now, and are watching a video about Linux, there ain’t much hope. 😂

[@send2gl]

The cube and wobbly windows is still available out of the box with KDE Plasma

[@omoighejustice594]

Anytime I’m watching him I focus more on the jokes than the actual content😂😂 You’re the best man

[@ph0nkwalk3r]

hey sam, there's google chrome for linux.

[@untemi0]

I don't know where you heard about that chrome is not on Linux, but it's probably because no ones uses it there

[@gamingclan4651]

As a linux user, We do have chrome however no one wants it.

[@accountid9681]

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.

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"!

[@jonshouse1]

You're right and i've nothing further to add.

[@Casual.Gamer_0000]

🤓 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.

[@danielmalinen6337]

Fun fact: Linux was created in Finland by Finnish coder and software developer Linus Torvalds. It is one of the few Finnish world conquerors after the use of SMS messages ended and Nokia went bankrupt and was sold to Microsoft.

Corrections from a GNU/Linux user: - Even some GNU users say free and open source are the same, but that's not true. Open source misses the point; you really should promote free software - The looks come not really from the distro, but from something called a desktop environment. Some distros, such as NixOS, offer a lot of options when installing, but some, such as Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, offer several installer images, one for each DE. Some distros have their own default wallpapers, but you can easily change them. Some distros have an unusual default look for some DEs (such as Fedora XFCE), but I think that can be configured, too. So, some DEs (such as Cinnamon or Plasma) usually look like NT by default while some (Pantheon) look like MacOS - I haven't seen or heard much correction, although they talk about it. However, what you said may be true because FSF opposes the name “Linux”, although they can't do a lot. Personally I prefer calling it GNU - I don't find installing applications very difficult. I've seen a video where they said Apple users said that you just have to drag the application into the app folder, but that's just a part of a process. (They probably have that part just to make the illusion.) So installing software from App Store or a GUI PM in GNU is easier - It's not necessary that everything is free. They can offer unfree software, such as Chrome or VS Code. That depends on the distro and its configuration - Unfortunately, Microsoft Office, Photoshop, and Google Chrome are used by many people - As I mentioned above, Chrome can be available depending on the configuration - There are free apps with functionality similar to MS Office, Photoshop, and Chrome. This isn't really a correction, but I think that's worth mentioning - Flatpak isn't the only option to download. It's just one of three well-known universal package managers. The others are AppImage and Snap. What package manager you can use depends on the app. Also, some system package managers (backends) have their own format that you can download. You can also install it from source; that's not Flatpak - The assembly doesn't happen in the terminal, although it's common to use the latter to initiate the former and see its progress and log - A lot of commands work without sudo. You can even install packages from Nix to your user without it - I don't think a terminal station is bad. Also, the word being used for bad things isn't really indicative of it

[@enderpuff.]

Fun fact here, the terminal on macos actually uses a fork of bash (zsh), the default "terminal" for linux Which means a lot of commands on mac are the same, and, yes, sudo is also a thing on mac

[@GoogleDoesEvil]

zsh isn't even based on bash and macOS uses bash these days, not zsh. macOS used to use tcsh

[@MrMeek79]

All hail SUDO. I love my wobbly windows. Im a Linux user and thought this was pretty good

[@Fareke2]

I like the new haicut at the end of the video.

[@saifulazrinfoto9993]

That's hi-larry-us.

[@kazuoha-d4l]

But don't worry. Project X is working on a brand new way of installing applications, while Project Y is working on a brand new graphical interface and Z is going to create a new distro to fix some of these issues. Of course, none of them is going to have nothing to do with the other and may not work together at all, but at least you get the *choice* and the *freedom* of choosing what in your system is not going to work.

[@wiktorpp]

Something something updating a repository * adds a repository*

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

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! BTW: I use Arch and KDE PLasma with the wobbly windows, cube effect... and I love it! Microsoft and Apple would have to pay me a crap load to even consider using anything they make! Oh the Apple Fanbois in these comments here are hilarious!

[@asadhafeez9681]

As a Linux user, terminal is my most favorite app on MacOS

[@patham9]

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

[@ExtantThylacine]

It's funny because with macOS being a Unix derivative, sudo also exists and does the same thing on mac.
