Ugh, I knew the Linux fanboys would come here. Yeah, we get it, Linux is so fucking great, you're a better person, you've never been wrong. Seriously, the whole Linux vs Windows thing is nigh on console vs PC-esque, quickly becoming painfully, childishly pathetic. Both OSes have their strengths, but it's cringeworthy coming into the comments and seeing people saying "I use Linux. You should too" [Coming from a C++ dev who operates on... you guessed it! Linux _and_ Windows!]

[@Folopolis]

CMSonYT I will. We all get it, PC is better for getting every last bit of visual goodness out of a game or if you're into twitch shooters or strategy games. But for most other games: fighters, racing, arcade shooters, sports, RPGs, etc. consoles are just as good - I would argue better because those tend to be more social games and playing next to someone on PC at a table just isn't as good as playing on the same screen on a couch. Consoles also make for a better living room Netflix (or any streaming service) experience.

What about Linux and BSD? Also for virtulization we have Docker (Do a episode about that one too)

[@Kenpozeal]

***** Nit picking a bit, Linux is not Android, Android is Linux. Or rather, Android uses Linux. Linux is just a base, and it is (almost) unusable on its own. Android is a distribution, just like Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, etc.

[@SigurdKristvik]

NegiMudkip Linus mentioned system calls... for PCs > Linux and BSD uses System calls en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_call

[@wartab]

Ben Jones You actually have to differentiate the Linux kernel and the Linux Operating System. Android is based on the Linux kernel, but not on the Linux OS. Debian is a Linux OS distribution. This might seem like nitpicking, but the Linux kernel and the OS are really two separate things.

[@projectjt3149]

***** don't forget about Unix, although Mac OS and Linus, I mean Linux, are related to Unix right?

[@EngineeringVignettes]

Engineer Diep close.. Linux is a derivative of Minux. Linus wrote it as Minux did not run on an IBM PC AT (x86) machine and he wanted an OS to mess around on in his spare time out of University. Berkley UNIX was a big iron OS and not really open to experiment in. The compatibility between Linux and UNIX is due to the APIs common to both, primarily POSIX.

[@idtyu]

Kernel wise, Windows NT and Unix-like... That's all

[@happysmash27]

+Yang Junhai I believe that there are a few others, though it is true that all the non-research OS's have those two kernels, unless Risc OS or others are not Unix-like.

[@OoJxShadow]

[@idtyu]

+Matheus Magalhães de Alcantara I'm just saying , that micro kernel of apple is built on top of darwin , not a true kernel per say

[@andrewrobinson2985]

You couldn't be more wrong. Kernel-wise, there are Micro-kernels, hybrid hernels, nano kernels, monolithic kernels, and megalithic kernels just to name a few. And the kernel doesn't make an operating system, just its core. Aside from that, there is UI, whether that be GUI or Text based, programs that can run it, filesystems, drivers and the hardware it goes to. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk about it. Blind leading the blind is a way to ruin a lot of people's knowledge.

[@jamesredington4373]

Wonderful Explanation but I didn't mean literally, but of course you knew that!! :)

[@modchmod777]

Linux runs a large portion of these tasks and might even run the RTOS tasks soon. It's already possible to run Linux as a Realtime OS by specifying a flag at compile time. Most servers run Linux. Your router is almost always going to be running Linux unless you're running pfSense or something similar. Android is Linux, Tizen is Linux, Firefox OS is Linux, Sailfish is Linux, iOS is a butchered version of BSD and Blackberry is QNX (Unix-like). Unix and Unix-like systems are everywhere. Why? Because they're reliable and flexible.

I must say I never actually multi task on my phone, I generally close an app when I'm done with it. Only exceptions are background music and the calculator. Also Windows Mobile could actually multi task (it wasn't very intuitive) but Palm couldn't. Not sure about Symbian OS or BlackBerry OS.

[@NikolajLepka]

a lot of embedded devices run the Berkeley Software Distribution though, not a dedicated embedded system, since BSD is usually small and light-weight enough wile also providing features you'd want to make shit easy to program. BSD has been found in cables, routers, washing machines, microwaves, media players, and of course servers and desktop computers. Pretty much anything that contains a processor can run BSD Hell even Mac OS is (at least partially) BSD

[@MugenHeadNinja]

Mr HamsterBacke A lot of people still use Windows XP, as a matter of fact I'm not sure if your a fan of RWBY but Monty Oum it's creator used Windows XP forever until everyone at rooster teeth upgraded where he had to switch to windows 7 (this was when he first started work there a few years ago so win 8 wasn't out). IMO it was the best OS and a lot of people still use it if only because its the one they're most familiar with.

[@teekanne15]

MugenHeadNinja in the company I used to work for we used XP till 2014 and just now switched to win 7. Its a matter of security/stability. new OS are much more vulnerable than the ones being tested for many years

[@netsurfer10000]

> Windows CE > Palm OS Sure ... I don't need to explain what's wrong with that, do I? In almost all categories including web servers (most of the Internet is powered by it), virtualization (docker seems to be very popular right now), phones (Android and more), embedded (everything except very special devices) Linux is the absolute king. Yet you didn't even mention it and instead went on talking about Lynda.com.

[@netsurfer10000]

Oh yeah, Linux is also somewhat good on desktops too and also does clustering as far as I know. Ubuntu for example builds on it too. Oh, it's also free and open source so it's modifiable and extremely secure.

[@stewartgray1054]

AWSOME EXPLAINING THANK YOU!!

[@ThegamerIdiotgenius]

Actually most of the things you just talked about were Linux/UNIX/BSD/GNU Open Source whatever you call it, and just variations thereupon. E.g. I wouldn't consider a wifi router/hotspot a whole other type of os simply because it's Linux or BSD on a ROM flash chip. Same as embedded systems- usually it's either a really light and outdated (for smaller file size/compatibility) form of Linux or you're running bare metal without any real operating system (e.g. the Arduino.) Three major exceptions: 1. Real Time OS- Linux DOES have some support for doing this, but you have to have a custom compiled kernel and it's not the main focus so I can't speak to the fidelity of the code that does it. But if you look at CNC Linux (I think that's the name?) it actually does this to run CNC machines. As a result, it's usually something else (I think Blackberry even has as OS which does this, which runs the Solar Impulse airplane?) 2. Windows (for obvious reasons) 3. Palm OS (Though the later versions were again Linux.)

[@Sb129]

ThegamerIdiotgenius Lolz, Palm was never Linux based, you might be thinking of what they wanted to do, the Access Linux Platform, but Palm OS and WebOS weren't Linux based

[@dvirbd2]

Nicely done. Thanks for mentioning RTOSes as I think that they get a little neglected this days.. cause they are hidden away.. Another form of distributed OS is clustering, made popular with the Beowulf distribution. I don't see as much info on it these days though. Linus does support it along with NUMA aystems.

Two things:1) That green screening looks awful in 4k2) Nice cheeky wink from Linus there :D

[@nowhitespace]

Windows CE, and related mobile OSs like Windows Pocket PC and Windows Mobile, is an embedded modular OS and uses a real-time preemptive multitasking kernel. It's in many ways superior, more efficient and stable than unix'ish systems like IOS or the linux-based Android. It's also arguably the best piece of software that Microsoft has ever worked on, maybe followed by their work on OS/2 and Windows NT.

[@legendforlife99]

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.

[@MrTw2009]

Very interesting video. Where can I find more info on this subject? Thanks.

[@zackula1]

Can we get a Fast as Possible video for the reasoning that a mobile phone/tablet CPUs (such as the Snapdragon 820 or the Nvidia Tegra X1) cannot/will-not be used in a Windows PC? I mean, they both run 64-bit applications, both have 8-cores, both have turbo frequencies as comparable with most portable Windows machines, both use very little power, and I cannot imagine the performance output you could get from one of them if you simply added air or water cooling to one. On paper, they seem to be far more advanced than Intel's new Core M series and look like they should be competitive with the most powerful Core i7-xxxxU processors. So why do we not see computer manufacturers expanding past the point of Intel or AMD for their processors?

[@zackula1]

Zac K Also, is it possible that we would see the Intel Core M in an upcoming Android phone or tablet any time soon? Why or why not?

[@zackula1]

Fair enough, however now I would like to see a Fast as Possible explaining the difference between those two architectures and why they are incompatible.

[@zackula1]

i understand that. is there a reason why they need to be written in different codes? I mean, linux, mac, and windows all run the same chips, and android is basically a mobile version of linux. right? Again, I have seen android tablets using ARM chips... www.geekbuying.com/category/Dual-Boot-Tablets-1661/ ^Theres even a link that shows a slew of tablets for sale that can dual boot into either Android 5.1 or Win10

[@zackula1]

You said "opcodes" are different. Sorry. I don't know what opcodes are.

[@zackula1]

so why can some tablets dual boot between android and win10 if the opcodes are different?... But then i'm hearing that the processors are not interchangeable?

While Windows rules the desktop, and has a big presence in servers, for the most part it is Linux that underlies all the types of OSes mentioned: virtual machines, distributed computing, RTOS, embedded, Android, ChromeOS have the Linux kernal inside. Cloud computing, supercomputing, stock markets, the ISS all run Linux. There wouldn't be a Google, Facebook or Twitter without Linux. Not bad for an operating system that only has 2% of the desktop but 70-95% of everything else.

[@dergrunepunkt]

It's interesting how you did not mention that most of the operanting systems you talk about are based the same operating system: Linux. Today Linux it's ubiquitous, runs from fridges, dish washers, GPS devides, to smart tv's a to cars and space ships, pretty much anyhting that's has an embebbed OS that os is Linux, except for the non-critical funcitions like workstations, the world runs on linux.
