Just a note: I don't mean to bash on this youtuber, but to me these sounds like the advantages that a Linux newbie (nothing wrong with that, we all started there) thinks of. First of all, as a developer, Linux is not always better. The best IDEs (the free ones, that is) are not on Linux, and the ones on Windows are not able to develop for Linux in a billion different ways, and they offer a much better workflow. Other advantages described here are also totally unrelated to Linux, but rather are tools often used on Linux but available everywhere else, you like bash? I do too, and I use it daily on Windows! Just like cat, curl, wget and with all the piping magic you can thing of. The truth is that Linux on Desktop natively doesn't make sense, sure, if you're willing to fight with a custom installation you can revive old laptops and that's great, but Linux really is (sorry Torvalds, I know this was not your goal) a server kernel, the various desktop distros work, but they are not truly better than Windows now that the WSL is a thing and now that modern hardware and hyper v can run VMs like a charm. The Linux community is not friendly and "learning" Linux (whatever that means) is not easy. Linux is awesome, but not for the reasons described here. Whether you care or not about Linux depends on the usage you have for it, if it's developing you're hardly really going to use Linux. Also, using Kali as your main installation is a bad idea, by default you're logged in as root and it's really just meant to run off of a live USB. Actual essay because I'm annoying: Ehhhhhhh not really. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux, I work with Linux daily and I develop software for Linux, but we gotta be honest here. Security - Linux is safe... that depends. 0 day exploits on Linux are not unheard of, and for CVE the security of the system depends on you how often you upgrade your system and on the repositories that you get your packages from. Not every repository is up to date, not every package has the latest patch and not ever dependency is compiled with the correct features. The reason why you don't need anti viruses is just that... Linux is not a target for viruses, you're not going to browser online for a pirated game and stumble upon a fake virus installer for Linux, in reality, if you were to give root access to the wrong software, you'd be more screwed up than on Windows. So yeah, the community can look at the kernel and make sure it's safe, but are you up to date? Also, what about all the other drivers and packages? Are their communities as thorough regarding their security concerns? Improved Workflow You serious? First of all, a lot of modern programming languages have their own package managers, so you don't even need to pass via apt.. and that aside... dependency hell on Linux package managers is a thing. Plus, if you need to install a library from apt likely for C or Cpp... come on! It's not that hard to simply download binaries and link them to your executable! Or compile them yourself! We have build systems, we have MinGW, WSL, VMs of all sorts. But do we have a decent IDE on Linux? Nope. Speaking of IDEs the best we have is CLion, which is not free and open source. Want a free decent IDE? Great! Visual Studio 2022, Windows only, can develop for Linux via SSH. The godsend of Linux is bash, but bash runs everywhere, even on Windows. Even the install VLC example is dumb, sure, with VLC is easy because the package name is VLC, go figure what the package name is for libsupercool-dev-2.0.1. How do you do that? From a webpage.... No Reboot - True, but. Sure, it's true, on Linux when a kernel module updates you don't need to reboot the system, you can just restart the module, while on Windows updating a driver means 9 out of 10 times reboot the system, it's true but... who cares? Unless you're using Linux for a server where you need 0 downtime, you don't really care about rebooting or restarting a module manually, often you'll just reboot to avoid searching for the correct command. Btw, Ubuntu upgrades done via their GUI actually forces a reboot. Powerful Tools - Unrelated to Linux Those are programs that can be downloaded on Windows and be used with GitBash, except for cron, the true lacking features. On Windows you need to use services, which sucks. But not many users actually need custom cron jobs. Task Automations - You're right but explained it wrong. Task automation as in cron? Sure, kid of lacking on Windows (can be done but it's more annoying), but one liners aren't a "task automation" they're just that, one liners. They're cool, and they work on every system, I think what you like is bash (I love bash too). Performance - True, but only in some cases Not all Linux distros are lightweight, stuff like Ubuntu has a ton of modules and packages pre loaded just to make it work with most hardware, like Windows. If you want a lightweight system you need a full custom installation, like Artix, the results are great but setting it up the first times is absolute pain. As for stability, it depends on the maintainer of the packages and on what you do. As long as you don't touch your installation, it's stable, but it may not be safe after a while. Point 7 - I'm sorry, this is absolute bullshit. Error messages depends on the app, sometimes you can find (related to Linux) useful messages using dmesg, but software specific stuff... depends on the software. Some throw a very generic "core dumped" at you, then what? Customization - True, probably overrated No it's true, you can customize Linux however you like, but here's the thing. As for development environments, it's dependent on the software and it's unrelated to Linux. As for the actual Linux distribution, sure it's true, but don't think of it as an easy task, packages break with each other, support for HiDPI is still a joke in Linux, X11 and Wayland are still fighting each other. Making a distro look good ain't easy, and the improvements to your workflows are minimal. Oh god, I have a quick search bar I can use to spawn commands! Cool, so you have powertoys? Or cmd+space on mac? It's the same thing.

the pre-installed apps in linux are to make linux work, to modify things because there is missing a lot of GUI to configure things around. even if there is a GUI, the traditional and primitive way of doing things in linux will not go away soon. the argument "it just works" is not enough anymore. everything just works otherwise nobody would be using it

Good point. Also, if you embrace "The Unix Philosophy" fully, you can do magic things on the command line. Microsoft tried to copy that concept with PowerShell, but seriously, ithese java-like horribly long function names and the (already failed, together with OS/2) half-assed object-oriented approach... it never was as simple as piping xargs, cut, uniq and sort together... Next level utilities are grep (searching like a pro!), sed (you probably never edited like this before) and awk (its own little programming language). With those, these one-liners are becoming quite advanced.

Having been a Linux user for around 10 years now, I think it's advantage really comes down to modularity. Packages are not necessarily full programs, and dependencies can be installed as needed. This is different for Windows and MacOS, and really indicative of why Linux is loved in the server and other spaces. You can make Linux into what you need and want, with just the necessary packages and programs installed. Each program - say like gnome-desktop will have many packages, and while you install many to get it working you can tweak and play with which you need and don't need based on the use case. Of course somethings will require all dependencies and could break things, but for power users, this flexibility means you can have anywhere between an Alpine 120 MB iso image to an Ubuntu 2 GB iso image. That and native containers - again about modularity - that really make Linux a great base.

"The package manager in Linux" and the "just type in sudo apt-get install" imply that there is only that package manager for Linux, which is wrong. It is the package manager for Debian-based distributions like Debian, Ubuntu and Mint. Other distros may use something else like Arch using pacman, Gentoo using portage and Fedora using dnf, all with different instructions on how to use them and how they work.

I am not a programmer, but I have been setting up and managing BSD and Linux systems for almost 20 years. I have some skill in shell programming and python to make my daily life easier. I have set up so many servers and services on top of them, so I would like to say that your video is right to the point. Additionally, 7th entry of your video is not weird at all. According to my past experience, if there is only one advantage of POSIX systems over Windows, it is you can always get an output for your actions to see what went right or wrong, either through the shell or in log files or both. In terms of operation, Linux and BSD systems are transparent in this regard. This is so helpful for troubleshooting or monitoring anything on your system. Thank you for the video and keep up the good work.

@gilkesisking Working in IT for 2.5 decades made me realize that a desktop OS is not for everyone. I saw a huge change with the arrival of smart phones and ofcourse the tablets, it made the digital world very simple for most people. To be honest, you don't have to be able to "cook" to get by, most people are just fine with a browser. Eventually computation can be done in the cloud, so why the need of hefty hardware at home for the general public. We even saw gaming in the cloud, ok, it's not there yet. But looking around at friends and family, I see that less people feel the need for desktops and even a few broke away from laptops. I have no problem with Foss but it has a long way to go if it wants to cover ground in the handheld sector. The beauty of linux is its diversity but it is also its greatest weakness.

"Sudo apt-get" isn't linux, that's debian. Other distros may do it differently. And that also isn't guaranteed to work. There are tons of programs that aren't available in repositories. Even if it is available it's likely to be an older version because ir takes time for a distro to update everything in its repositories. Another con to apt-get is that it just installs a generic binary that will not be optimized in any way for your machine. So it's useless if performance is a concern. Using apt-get as an argument for linux being easier to use is grossly misleading.

These tech channels never talk about it because it's complicated and they're trying to make Linux look as simple as windows. But they could at least quit using "apt-get" as a generic Linux feature when it isn't.

I bought a new laptop for university in 2020 with Ubuntu pre-installed and the moment I opened it I loved it. Linux feels so clean. Remember the first thing you must do when setting up a new Mac or Win PC? Creating an Apple ID or Microsoft account, checking that Siri and Cortana are turned off alongside many other things so that you can limit the number of things Apple and Microsoft can spy on you with. When I set up Ubuntu I got asked "Who is using this computer" and "Choose a password". It feels so much better knowing there aren't any connections to big corps. The biggest downside tho is that it's not super consumer/beginner friendly. When using Linux you have to dig deep to understand what makes this OS better in many ways and to make use of its full potential. Win and Mac work right out of the box. Maybe, with time, that's gonna change tho.

Developer for a living here, these are my reasons in order of importance for development: 1: Great build tools, compiling anything is easier in linux 2: Intercompatibility with macos and the server environment, a lot of my colleagues use macos, having build scripts be compatible is very useful, also debugging anything which usually only runs on the server side is a lot easier when you are on the same os 3: Bash, having bash be the default terminal is great, saving command history (ctrl+r to search through history is a life changer) aliases to automate stuff, integration with git with powerline and a lot more, just makes the terminal 100 times more effective 4: Configurability, being able to change every shortcut, interface and way of interacting with your pc allows you to optimize your workflow a lot 5: Open source, if something is broken, you fix it, good luck trying that on windows 6: Free, this needs not much explaining 7: Stability and not needing to restart often (although not having to restart for major updates like he suggest is bs, that's something you'll only find on servers and is not for us simple desktop users) 8: It's not windows 9: It's not mac os

Of course, if you're making Windows software, you'll need a Windows machine, and for Mac or iOS you'll need a Mac. Also I'm not sure why he listed cron as one of the "programming tools" that linux users enjoy. I've never needed a task scheduler for programming.

The main disadvantage of Linux is that there is no Visual Studio or anything free that is even close to the functionality and maturity of VS. IntellJ series is probably the closest to VS, but they are either not free or a lot more limited than the free version of VS. For example, the free version of IntellJ does not support any web development, whereas the free version of VS has ASP.NET application support. Also, when it comes to destktop application development, IntelliJ series have bad support for UI designer. Even the free version of VS has nice in-built WPF designer and it comes with an external programme called Blend, IntellJ has no such thing for JavaFX; it just uses an old version of SceneBuilder.

As a developer the thing I currently appreciate most about Linux is "native" Docker with the benefits of: 1. File mounts are way faster than on Mac/Windows. 2. Network(s) are reachable from the host. So you don't need to expose any ports (possibly colliding with other interfaces) but can instead just use the container IP addresses from the host.
@patricknelson
@patricknelson 3 жыл бұрын
Yep. All of that is because there's no virtualization required at all, since at this point all processes are running as actual processes on your host machine. So... direct access to the file system and network, they're just locked away using cgroups and namespaces (for isolation/security). Windows/MacOS just require VM's since these features are primarily implemented in Linux, meaning now that you're working with a VM you have to share files (often very slow) and also have to have completely separate network stack for the VM.

Regarding the first point... I have a feeling a lot of the security benefits associated with Linux have to do with how pointless it is to write a virus for an OS that carries less than 5% of usage/market share (including ChromeOS) amongst the big 3. There's also the enterprise aspect- whereas Windows not only carries 75% of market share, it's used majorly in the enterprise, meaning there is more to gain with distributing viruses across firm machines (i.e. ransomware) and I have witnessed this myself at the last firm I worked for. Sometimes, they actually pay up. A good virus is one that can target as many machines as possible, and writing one for Linux regardless of its open-source nature is absolutely counterproductive.

This statement is only partially correct. Majority of servers are linux based so if you want to gain access to a lot of important data, you should target linux. But it is not that easy to find way to exploit linux and it is not widely used as a desktop OS so hackers decide to write viruses for Windows. Windows is not secure enough, it is dominant desktop OS and as a result there are a lot of people without sufficient technical knowledge. That makes them perfect targets.

The result of this is that when you need to expand/minimize an app, you don't even look there. If you have a bad eyesight, it will be super convenient. • dragging the windows with the alt+click. with this functionality, you can quickly arrange the positions without trying to find the window caption. • rollup the windows - this allows you to quickly see what is behind the window without changing much on the screen. This is a short list. and it is possible to do that on Windows. But on Linux it can work out of the box (except the browser tabs) and provides more stable and smooth experience.

I’ve spent more than four decades programming. Professionally I’ve spent more time programming on Linux, but I’ve spent decades on Windows. I’m very knowledgeable about both platforms. I’ve used multiple programming environments on both. The absolutes best IDE for C and C++ is on Windows, but he’s right that it’s harder to set up than Linux. Visual Studio has more built-in features than Eclipse, KDE, or any other Linux IDE I’ve tried. One of the best is the built-in analysis feature. I often prefer Linux because Unix-like systems have fewer legacy exceptions and idiosyncrasies, but if you want to write software to make money, there are more opportunities on Windows. My mother ran Windows. Linux developers have greatly improved the usability over the last 20 years, however, non-technical people will still find Windows and MacOS easier to use. Anyone who argues with that is refuted both by the non-technical people I know, and the sales. So, while everything he says is totally correct, Linux still has some hurdles to overcome. Too many technical people still don’t understand what non-technical people want, and thus while Linux has taken over the server space, and embedded platforms, it’s still way behind in the desktop market. Of course, there are server and embedded software markets too. And, it’s hard to beat free software. I think it’s just important to discuss Linux’s weaknesses so those are recognized and dealt with.

Or even any of the random lesser known softwares are far better than alternatives on linux. open source replacements are clunky, hard to learn and are missing a lot of features • Linux is very unstable. The kernel crashes from plug and play devices, and drivers rarely work how they should. • Linux is unreliable. You can't trust it. A lot of things will never work together or at all without hopping distros or leaving out a favourite program. People hop between over 895 distributions of linux just to run away from issues. You can find yourself running windows again at any point when your needs change, because linux gives up where windows doesn't. • Linux is hard to install and maintain and additionally Linux has terrible support which continuesly brings users and corporations in trouble. If you are a linux user you have been one of them. • Linux relies on the terminal too much while windows and marcos can do everything trough the GUI. Linux users often brag about the use for this terminal but Windows has an optional Linux command line too. But basically just because linux software on windows comes with the same problems. • Linux does not support the majority of hardware and often there is no supported hardware for your needs at all. • Windows is fully responsive and supports screens of any size. While linux doesn't support screens below 800px and above 100 dpi by the date of 2021! • Linux is based on unix but is not even UNIX certified. Marcos is also based on unix and is certified. • Linux as a desktop is dead. By now all it is, is a sometimes great kernal to build for low footprint demands such as small routers or millions of virtual servers. And only when you are making everything yourself so you can take yourself responsible for technical support. Even so going linux is more expensive than paying for a windows license most of the time, unless your hosting minecraft or are completely self relient. For desktop use, it is never recommended to use linux as a development / desktop OS because it limits your abilities and software really that much. Good staff that know their ways on propiatery softwares will get things done much quicker on windows. • Linux is more expensive than windows to maintain and support and you have to pay for big training circles on your staff. • The person who suggests Linux is always a die hard Linux fan at home or in the datacenter, the rest of the staff doesn't want anything to do with Linux because they already have more than enough work • Windows has a subsystem for linux build right in, and does everything linux when you need to, and more. • linux is free, because you would get windows if you had to pay for it.. • The reason that you and many others are wasting time in linux, is just because it is playful, and that you are bored because you dont use your computer in any serious way. • Most of the issues reported about windows are fake. It does not slow down over time, the registry does not age worse than on linux and windows vista was a great successor to windows xp with extreme stability and uac security improvements. Most cleanup or tuneup software on windows are scams. • Linux is always behind by 10 years. No support for modern demands like high dpi screens, responsive design, touchscreens or other hardware or for devices to work together. • .net developed by microsoft is proven to create servers more robust and to handle lots really lots of extra traffic and it makes litteraly everything easy. you train an deep learning model in a few clicks. And .net is always on top of cutting edge technology. On linux you have to reinvent the wheel if it wasn't that .net 5 now also runs on linux. • Open source is not a benefit from the view of product quality. Much of the code is unmaintained. Nobody agrees to take a single direction, and you need lots and lots of money to hire the right developers. • People still brag about the ability to personalize your linux desktop environment but all you can choose is KDE, cinnamon, gnome xfce and some others that still show pitfalls of historical windows editions that windows have long gone passed by. There is no way denying that the latest desktop of windows is the best one. Windows also offers plenty of ways to adjust the environment to suit your needs more than linux can. • Almost all software and games also runs way faster on windows because everything up to the most unpopular game is optimized either by microsoft, nvidia or it's developer. • While windows is great as host OS to multitask on, linux serves at its best as a virtualised client machine to run a single purpose. • Most linux fans tell it like linux does everything that windows can, and more. But it is the other way around. Linux is sometimes usefull when the demand is rather minimalism.

It's been a weird ride, but I'm almost certain at this point I'll be staying on Linux as it is finally good enough at all the other things I want a computer for, that any programming I do will just be on Linux too. I'm not really a FOSS fanatic, but I do like that there's no single point of failure for it and I'll always have the flexibility to get the Linux I want, even if I have to build it myself, and run it on whatever hardware I want even, if I have to build it myself. I like my privacy and I'm sick of the choices all the big companies are making with their software and hardware products. If you haven't used Linux, seriously just try it. Install it on a VM like this video suggests. I've converted quite a few hardcore Windows and Mac people to Linux in the last couple years and some of them aren't even really techies. They're doing just fine on Ubuntu or Mint or whatever and don't have any issues or feel like they're missing anything from the Big Two. Unless you absolutely must use something specific from Adobe or Autodesk or Apple or Microsoft, and dual booting is for some reason unacceptable, chances are you can do whatever you need to do on Linux today, but there's alternatives, usually free, for just about every professional task. Many are industry standards like DaVinci Resolve and Blender. Yeah, Linux is basically great for gaming too now. If it's not the latest triple-A DirectX tech demo or an MMO, chances are it's native on Linux already. If it's on Steam and not native, it probably runs very well on Proton. If it's not on Steam (like Activision-Blizzard games), chances are high you can do a one-click Wine install using something like Lutris.

I get why you recommended trying Linux in a VM, but personally, I would strongly encourage using a LiveCD instead of a VM, unless they have a powerful machine. I used to run Linux occasionally back in 2009 and know generally how well it should perform. I tried running a modern distro in Virtual Box, and VMware Workstation and the performance was just really, _really_ bad. TBF, my laptop is a bit underpowered, so it's not entirely unexpected, but I had much, MUCH better success trying it as a LiveCD before making the switch. Needless to say, I've been running Fedora 35 (Design Suite) for a few weeks now and feel really happy with the choice I made. It's really insane to see how much has improved in 12 years. Pretty much every single complaint I used to have is gone.

I’m neither a Linux nor a Windows evangelist. I find myself booting between both through out the day. Windows has better tools. Linux has a better scheduler. Oddly enough with Ubuntu as a Windows subsystem the WSL terminal is superior than the native Ubuntu terminal. Coding is the same in both as I use the JetBrains suite of applications and they behave the same. I boot Linux if I want to compile a bit faster or run very heavy CPU multithreaded applications. I boot Windows if I need to do data analysis in Excel. The coding experience is exactly the same with the JetBrains IDE. The compiler and other tools are the same (CLang). I also boot Windows for Cuda work because for that the scheduler does not matter. I have the code in the same location. So it is easy to boot back and forth. If I’m only coding and you walk by the only way to tell if I’m in Windows or Linux is that the task bars look different.

linux is free, because you would get windows if you had to pay for it.. not even to mention, that visual studio (windows IDE) is the very best developer tool out there, and does only run on windows. in your video you are using Visual studio Code. which is the uncomplete version of the actual visual studio for windows! made by microsoft! linux is not at all more benificial for programming. its only good for 'monitor-less computing' / servers, and only for cheap servers. there are so many examples of great windows servers too. take asp.net for example, even facebook prefering it. but even for computing without monitors, id take windows IoT core over linux any day. the reason that you and many others are wasting time in linux, is just because it is playful, and that you are bored because you dont use your computer in any serious way. windows is the most stable OS ever made too, and that really is true. on linux seriously most things never works to begin with. you won even get your drivers to function properly. and windows vista users have run for over 10 years without a single reboot, and have been able to utilise their hardware for 100% of its capablity. linux is also around 7 years behind technically, on just monitor tech alone. also windows makes litteraly everything easy. every single thing. not just from a end user perspective, but as developer, you train an deep learning model in a few clicks. oh and have you also mentioned that all of your activities run on windows too? in exact the same or better way.. and with a proper desktop manager :) and there are even package / patch managers, which actually cost money. and why? because serious users need windows... linux is not an OS. its a toy, in the saddest way possible. the most succesfull linux is android. which only is popular because it is 'free'. if you had to pay for it.. again: you would get windows. (or iphone). and people who dont understand this, have never owned a windows phone. android is just a toy. the reason it grew popular is because of apps that are just there to do absolutely rediculous nonsense things and childish games that have no way to scale up to anything serious because the OS sucks that much. your personalisation is another stupid claim. most people got a smartphone just because of the feeling they have a buddy or connection with their personalised device. which in its very essence is litteraly retarded.

@@erwinjitsu_3706 so what does linux have that windows doesn't? Most linux fans tell it like linux does everything that windows can, and more. But it is the other way around. Linux is sometimes usefull when the demand is rather minimalism. And this is a lists of why it is so. • Linux cannot run major commercial software by Microsoft and Adobe. Or even any of the random lesser known softwares are far better than alternatives on linux. open source replacements are clunky, hard to learn and are missing a lot of features • Linux is very unstable. The kernel crashes from plug and play devices, and drivers rarely work how they should. • Linux is unreliable. You can't trust it. A lot of things will never work together or at all without hopping distros or leaving out a favourite program. People hop between over 895 distrobutions of linux just to run away from issues. You can find yourself running windows again at any point when your needs change, because linux gives up where windows doesn't. • Linux is hard to install and maintain and additionally Linux has terrible support which continuesly brings users and corporations in trouble. If you are a linux user you have been one of them. • Linux relies on the terminal too much while windows and marcos can do everything trough the GUI. Linux users often brag about the use for this terminal but Windows has an optional Linux command line too. But basically just because linux software on windows comes with the same problems. • Linux does not support the majority of hardware and often there is no supported hardware for your needs at all. • Windows is fully responsive and supports screens of any size. While linux doesn't support screens below 800px and above 100 dpi by the date of 2021! • Linux is based on unix but is not even UNIX certified. Marcos is also based on unix and is certified. • Linux as a desktop is dead. By now all it is, is a sometimes great kernal to build for low footprint demands such as small routers or millions of virtual servers. And only when you are making everything yourself so you can take yourself responsible for technical support. Even so going linux is more expensive than paying for a windows license most of the time, unless your hosting minecraft or are completely self relient. For desktop use, it is never recommended to use linux as a development / desktop OS because it limits your abilities and software really that much. Good staff that know their ways on propiatery softwares will get things done much quicker on windows. • Linux is more expensive than windows to maintain and support and you have to pay for big training circles on your staff. • The person who suggests Linux is always a die hard Linux fan at home or in the datacenter, the rest of the staff doesn't want anything to do with Linux because they already have more than enough work • Windows has a subsystem for linux build right in, and does everything linux when you need to, and more. • linux is free, because you would get windows if you had to pay for it.. while linux is free, it's expensive to support within an organisation. It costs magnitudes more than a windows license. • The reason that you and many others are wasting time in linux, is just because it is playful, and that you are bored because you dont use your computer in any serious way. • Most of the issues reported about windows are fake. It does not slow down over time, windows does not age worse than on linux and windows vista was a great successor to windows xp with extreme stability and uac security improvements. Most cleanup or tuneup software on windows are scams even the most popular ones. They are best used for privacy rather than performance wise. Often times a computer runs faster when it has a few gigabytes of temp files, it doesn't make them for no reason. Similar to memory usage. Linux users state linux is more lightweight, but unused ram is a waste of power. • Linux is always behind by 10 years. No support for modern demands like high dpi screens, responsive design, touchscreens or other hardware or for devices to work together. It won't even do your touchpad features right, or scroll accordingly with your mouse wheel while these devices have been around for far more than 30 years. • .net developed by microsoft is proven to create servers more robust and to handle lots really lots of extra traffic and it makes litteraly everything easy. you train an deep learning model in a few clicks. And .net is always on top of cutting edge technology. On linux you have to reinvent the wheel if it wasn't that .net 5 now also runs on linux. • Open source is not a benefit from the view of product quality. Much of the code is unmaintained. Nobody agrees to take a single direction, and you need lots and lots of money to hire the right developers. • People still brag about the ability to personalize your linux desktop environment but all you can choose is KDE, cinnamon, gnome xfce and some others that still show pitfalls of historical windows editions that windows have long gone passed by. There is no way denying that the latest desktop of windows is the best one. Windows also offers plenty of ways to adjust the environment to suit your needs more than linux can. • Almost all software and games also runs way faster on windows because everything up to the most unpopular game is optimized either by microsoft, nvidia or it's developer. • While windows is great as host OS to multitask on, linux serves at its best as a virtualised client machine to run a single purpose. • Visual studio is the best IDE and only runs on windows. • Linux always has broken dependencies while on windows every app is self sustainable as they have their own dependencies within the app. Outdated dependencies easely live side by side. Making linux not backwards compatible at all and again untrustable to stick with.

Well, I have been programming since 1973 and in C since 1981, C++ since around 1989. There are two reasons that I find Windows to be a valuable development platform. The first is if you are writing Windows programs. While Windows programs are obsolete, you may need to support and enhance your existing Windows programs that were written years ago. The other is sometimes I have a tricky bug. When that happens I go to my Windows XP workstation and fire up my Borland Turbo Debugger. It is still the best debugger I have used and makes life much easier. I can't use a workstation with Windows 7 or higher because those versions of Windows don't have the extremely challenging technology of emulating a Microsoft 80x25 text screen. From the standpoint of serving, not programming, I have found that a computer running Linux will run my software at least 4-10 times faster than the same computer running Windows. I just got around to upgrading a server running Centos 5.3 which was installed at least a dozen years ago. It never had an issue and I upgraded because I was worried about the age of the computer/drives and it was slow compared to newer ones. When you add in the fact that Linux is free, then the only reason to run a Windows server is it is forced down everyone's throats due to "corporate standards."

"While Windows programs are obsolete, " ==In the corporate world, they have decided that all applications should be web based for some reason. The claim is that maintaining it is much cheaper than having a real application. The problem is that web based apps are still crappy and you run into strange behavior. Some of them install on Citrix. Again, I have seen all sorts of buggy behavior due to Citrix itself. It is just layers upon layers. I prefer separate apps that are specialized in what they do rather than one gigantic mess of HTML, JavaScript and who knows what.

​@@louistournas120 Trust me web based applications are the way to go! There are many reasons, but the most important of all is security. Done right web applications are very secure at a level Windows programs can't touch. The second reason is you can run web programs remotely from any computer, phone, tablet, etc. without requiring a Windows workstation. Citrix is used specifically to allow Windows programs to run remotely, which they weren't designed to do. Use of Citrix is an indicator of software design failure. I still support my Windows programs (medical). They took a lot of work to write and the users know them well and want to keep running them. We aren't throwing that investment away. But in 2004 I realized Windows was dead and started writing web based applications. The web version still runs on the LAN just like the Windows program, but remote users can also run the software through the Internet, and it is lightning fast. If you like programs that aren't a "mess", that is dependent on both the platform and the programmer. Web applications are traditional programs that follow the old school execution scheme - you start at main and keep going until you decide to quit. Windows is a handshaking agreement between the OS and the expectation that every program it is running has no bugs. It is based on a ridiculously complex and failure prone API that easily leads to crashing, making Windows programs inherently unstable. The Internet connected computer I am typing this message on came with Windows. But after a year or so it started crashing about 1-3 times a day. I didn't feel like going through a Windows installation. I have been running Linux for LAN servers since 1996 but never once installed a GUI desktop. But I said I know it installs fast so I installed Linux with KDE desktop instead of Windows. Been using it for a couple years now with Chrome and it works well. I have been running Windows for over 30 years and it is constantly changing for the worse. The only reason for businesses to run Windows today is that corporate management signed a costly contract with Microsoft that forces their employees to run Windows and its evil stepsister Office. Sorry about the length.

@@drwisdom1 I don’t mind the length of the text. Yes, I guess the goal of Citrix is to run Windows programs remotely. Having web based programs has the benefit that you can run on other OSes, like you said. From what I have seen, that is something that has mostly gone unused for the last 20 y since Windows is the standard and IE is the standard up until recently. I find that the Win32 API is pretty basic and very much usable. Some changes have been made over the years as new Windows versions added new features, but the API is stable and so, your old Win 95 software can still run on Win 10. That’s 27 y of compatibility. Softwares that crash and have issues is bc they don’t follow the specification, they don’t follow the documentation at MSDN. MS has said that they apply a lot of patches to deal with such buggy software. It is one reason why Windows is bloated. The classic Win32 API seems to be mostly unused and most have moved to the dotNET framework. I don’t have any experience with dotNET. Most of the focus seems to be on a language like Java and C# where they eliminated delete and they don’t allow certain things. This is why I prefer C and C++. I just track all my memory allocations. This is how I know when a leak occurs. I can easily copy pointers around. I can even insert some assembly language into it. Java and C# are for programmers who don’t think. If programmers want to make web based apps, fine, but there is no escaping reality. You still need a real application: Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera. These things are massive beasts that require constant bug fixes. On the Linux side of things, you would have to use an API such as GTK or Qt. There are plenty of apps written in C++. Also, I think nearly all desktop games are written in C++. The corporate world IT world is afraid of change. They can’t move away from Windows, MS Office and Intel CPUs.

​@@louistournas120 Not to mention that, newsflash, web apps require internet to operate. If you need to edit an online-only file and the internet goes? Sorry, sucks to be you. There's a reason IDEs are still offline.Also, I like your points about how we don't seem to use the cross-platform advantages at all. As a C# dev I can tell you that it's very good for doing higher-level things easily and quickly. You don't ever think about pointers or memory allocation, and there are multiple level of optimization in the compilation process so a lot of stuff runs fine no matter how you write it. It's also very legible. All this makes it a great language for someone first learning to code (don't trust anyone who tells you JS is good for that...lack of type safety and compiler errors just makes things more confusing and bugs harder to find), and corporate also loves it because "quick and easy" as well as being very much in fashion. We wouldn't want to be using _c++_ like it's 1997 now, would we? Additionally, it runs in the .net runtime. This means basically it's compiled to an intermediate language and then the computer it's run on compiles it again (which requires appropriate software) to its native machine code. That way you can distribute a single binary and anyone running Windows can run it regardless of architecture. A side-effect is that the binary you distribute can be trivially decompiled into source, which is always fun when corporate finds out their commercial "secrets" are effectively public (that fine print turned out to be important after all, eh?) That said, all these advantages of .net result in programs that aren't great performance-wise and eat vast amounts of memory. Turns out just because your memory is managed, it doesn't mean it's managed _well_. Anyway, for that reason and the fact that C# jobs basically all require you to use Windows, I'm currently working on learning C and then once I start to get the hang of it I'll move on to C++.

I tried linux again for about a month like half a year ago because I wanted to see if they fixed all the small things I was really annoyed with back when I tried it last time a couple years ago. Now I still had some issues but ultimately what made me give up was a weird issue where no matter what I did whenever I restarted my PC some of my settings would just disappear. Like timezone, actual time and most importantly my sound. I have a pretty complicated sound setup with like 5 different microphones and like 3 different possible outputs so setting this up every single time I restarted the computer (once or twice a day because of electricity bills) was annoying enough that I simply couldn't get used to it. Also the amount of times I had to enter my password was really frustrating.

There is a one more thing that i think you should say. Windows comes with a lot of stuff that is preinstalled, and some of these software you can't actually uninstall. The example is Cortana or Microsoft Store. When you deciding to install linux, you can choose a distribution, where nothing unnecessary is preinstalled (like Arch Linux) or if you choose linux with a lot of preinstalled stuff (like Ubuntu) you can easlly uninstall whathever you want. And when you told about usefull error messages you could aslo say something about processes. Well in Windows when system is something doing (like configuring an update) you se only "configuring an update". In linux you see exactly what is configuring and in what way. Anyway good job.

I've been passionate about Kali Linux for years and frequently used it on a VM. With my high-performance Windows PC and laptop, I decided to dual boot Kali Linux. Now, I spend most of my time in Kali, learning Python and working on TryHackMe modules. I'm currently pursuing my MSCIA at WGU, working on CySA+ and then PenTest+, so creating a dedicated workspace just made sense for me.

I have finally started using Linux (just because my wife took my new laptop, leaving me with 11yrs old machine with win7), got live usb stick and several hrs spent on learning basic steps, one a4 page of terminal comms later... Linux is not the same as it was 20yrs ago, now it is sleek, installation is faaaar easier, support is great in general - feel that I am staying with it! It takes 50 secs for laptop to start. Even visual studio code is available for linux. Probably more positive shocks ahead!! Long story short old machine is faster that new one ;)

This video sums up what I have been saying for years. I am comfortable using Linux because I feel uncomfortable in an IDE and write my makefiles to compile my code from the command line. On top of years of enjoying Linux and writing my own C programs, I found that when I use a Macbook there is a terminal and my Linux experience also helps me use my Mac as well. I started using computers back on computers with MS-DOS before I used Windows and got comfortable with command lines.

The "No Rebooting" is mostly a myth for the average user. Most of the issues happen because of the no rebooting part. While computers can do this, it's mostly attributed to servers and not consumer hardware. Also, using ksplice or some other tool to apply live patches to the kernel has no real benefit outside the critical server space, where you would ideally have at least 3 machines running for redundancy anyway.

linux is free, because you would get windows if you had to pay for it.. not even to mention, that visual studio (windows IDE) is the very best developer tool out there, and does only run on windows. in your video you are using Visual studio Code. which is the uncomplete version of the actual visual studio for windows! made by microsoft! linux is not at all more benificial for programming. its only good for 'monitor-less computing' / servers, and only for cheap servers. there are so many examples of great windows servers too. take asp.net for example, even facebook prefering it. but even for computing without monitors, id take windows IoT core over linux any day. the reason that you and many others are wasting time in linux, is just because it is playful, and that you are bored because you dont use your computer in any serious way. windows is the most stable OS ever made too, and that really is true. on linux seriously most things never works to begin with. you won even get your drivers to function properly. and windows vista users have run for over 10 years without a single reboot, and have been able to utilise their hardware for 100% of its capablity. linux is also around 7 years behind technically, on just monitor tech alone. also windows makes litteraly everything easy. every single thing. not just from a end user perspective, but as developer, you train an deep learning model in a few clicks. oh and have you also mentioned that all of your activities run on windows too? in exact the same or better way.. and with a proper desktop manager :) and there are even package / patch managers, which actually cost money. and why? because serious users need windows... linux is not an OS. its a toy, in the saddest way possible. the most succesfull linux is android. which only is popular because it is 'free'. if you had to pay for it.. again: you would get windows. (or iphone). and people who dont understand this, have never owned a windows phone. android is just a toy. the reason it grew popular is because of apps that are just there to do absolutely rediculous nonsense things and childish games that have no way to scale up to anything serious because the OS sucks that much. your personalisation is another stupid claim. most people got a smartphone just because of the feeling they have a buddy or connection with their personalised device. which in its very essence is litteraly retarded.

no. Its not as simple as sudo apt-get install. There's more precise stuff that comes after it which you get from visiting the appropriate website (not to mention ppa's). And the dependencies are sometimes a mess and a pleb like me cannot understand it. And almost everything you install on windows doesn't force you to restart your computer, only a couple few that tweak stuff on the deep system level, even there you get an option to restart later. I'm not criticizing the fact that Linux is better for a programmer, it is in fact better and very clean for programming. I'm only pointing out the points you are making in regards to windows are not correct. I've used linux for a while in dual boot(I still have it), sure the performance is very good but there are a lot of dependencies that I do not understand and overall less support and available software for other sectors excluding programming which I also wanted. Also its odd for you to say that a closed source tech giant's trillion dollar OS is somehow worse than an open source community developed OS. Windows works for anyone. Linux works for very specific set of users.

There is just differenet software available for Linux. For example, FreeCAD is a CAD program that is very fast and professional on par with solidworks. If you had trouble with ppas than you should not use ubuntu based distros and I admit that ubuntu sucks for this very reason. You should try a distribution with a high quality package manager like arch, void, or gentoo.
