I recently resetted my PC and switched to Linux for the 1st time. After that, suddenly my youtube algorithm changed into recommending me good hidden channels with less than 200 subs instead of channels with millions subs/ views. And I am really happy to it.

I want to learn. What is Linux? What's so special about dual boot. I always wear two boots. Sorry. I don't understand....

wow even the American meditation technique needs gasoline

Calling Linux a brand is like calling bald a hair colour. I understand when you're a RUclipsr selling yourself as a brand in order to get other brands to give you money for talking about their brand, everything starts to look like a brand...but it never was a brand.

Personally the disorganized bins would drive me crazy but I respect it works for you! And hey, at least they're categorized.

This is a little bit too acurate 😂

A lightbulb lit up in my head💡

I think it can be thought of in different ways. To me it's, "It does what I want," as the primary factor. A simple, "Do want!" and "Don't want!". I once got a Mac laptop at the recommendation of a friend. It was a couple years old and didn't perform well, it didn't run games and it didn't let me change things. It didn't do what I wanted and the whole thing just died on me a couple months after getting it. I had to pay people to recover the data at an Apple store. I will never touch another Apple product for as long as I live. They aren't built to last and they don't do what I want. They suck. This was when I didn't even know what Linux was.

Very interesting!

Great and useful vid! You deserve more views, subs, likes! Keep making good vids man

Linux is too mosaic and fragmented because it's not governed in unity where there is universal agreements as an open source project, and it's too diverse for good and bad with GNU on top of it, there was no foundation of a industry leader for the platform to grow the ecosystem to become mainstream with open, industry standardised shared technologies for the platform of familiarity for developers back in early 90s of it's birth, there is no interoperability across platforms when it comes to applications and gaming experiences when it comes to lack of universal app framework and app package alongside unified development, plus connectivity stack with I/O peripherals standardisation from drivers to connectivity protocol e.g. wireless NearLink, that's the negative from Linus Torvalds admitting this very issue alongside lack of OOBE and plug and play experience exposure from leading Linux distros, only smaller niche and hobbyist ones like Zorin OS and Pop OS with GNU technologies. And that is the very crux that it will never solve for mainstream consumer market. Valve tries to do it's part of the gaming market by being an gaming industry leader for the platform through SteamOS with the verticial integrated hardware of Steam Deck with "SteamOS + Linux" for Linux gaming across Linux distros, in it's dominant Valve Steam platform of desktop gaming across including it's role on Microsoft Windows today, but that is just gaming market and very limited as Vulkan not so widely adopted as DirectX graphics API Windows monopoly. You can have decentralised open source for distros by developers, and companies to have their own custom characteristics and consensus as balance which Linux lacks that platforms like OpenHarmony has due to clash within the community between commercial industry and FOSS which doesn't have to be that way, as long the OS base is 100% open source, anything on top of it doesn't matter, as long they are compatible with each other, commercialised closed source branded distros or open source hobbyist/enthusiast FOSS distros on programs, universal frameworks, connectivity, the core software stack, core APIs, standardised OS version base with synced same distro OS version on the same hymn with standardised OTA updates that is up to date on the latest versions etc. That is why Linux is treated as an outsider in mainstream commercial software world in consumer households, consumer market and left as backend for server market by big companies of Fortune 500.

Linux is not a brand, it's a kernel (not even a complete OS, it lacks the userspace apps), it's not a product. The concept of distribution or distro is more close to a "brand" concept like windows or macos.

Well, you cannot gather data from a monopoly/oligopoly, because it's completely artificial. Also, if you only gather data, you miss all of the reasons that people do anything, it has nothing to do with time or counting, but experience. If people have learned something, already, their judgement is from a different point of reference. They already know how to do X. Have a look at "Linus Windows vs. Mac"

Well, mac and cheese can be expensive.

Bro I just started eating canned corn and then you appear with one in your hand... Let's go 😂🌽

Don't know, but I know I always hated that icy pingvin.

I was given a macbook air M1, and I can't wait for the day when I can ditch macOS on this thing. I just need USB-C/thunderbolt displays and the mic would be a good addition. once those are on asahi, you can consider me done with MacOS. it looks nice but using it feels like I'm fighting with the OS the entire time, and I hate that.

Y2K where literally nothing happened.

So here's a short story. When I joined the army as a Communication Systems Engineer, I went to phase 2 training, and had this long section on computing. 3 of the guys there had *never* turned on a desktop PC. Most of the rest only knew excel and word. This was *before* the smartphone revolution. We were training to be the backbone of IT in the British Army. And only two people in my class had ever written an HTML page. It isn't just "old people" who can't understand computers now, the youth struggle with it too. IF most of those people ever use a computer in their lives, it's going to be because *either* they have to learn for work - so Microsoft Office - or because they're trying to be an "influencer" and want to learn more complicated video editing. Other than that, it's because they want to be an artist or something. If they're trying to be an artist, then they likely have poor technical skills. They need their hardware to be guaranteed compatible with new top of the line drawing tablets and such. They want to jump right into that, and not have to learn something else first. Linux has a daunting first step in that regard. There's always going to be something that goes wrong that requires a google search. So they type in "linux how to install XYZ", and it doesn't work, because their distro doesn't use aptitude for package management or whatever. *Some* might find their way to a specific distro for artists, but you're also fighting the "cool" factor of Apple. The same thing that leads people to reject a date because the colour of the bubble is wrong on their iPhone. What about the people who have to learn for work? Well, maybe they'll pick up a distro, eventually. It's uphill because their entire experience with computers is as a work product, and work sucks. They need to learn a lot to move off from windows. So really the aim should be companies, right? Get companies to switch over. But there's a problem there. Outside of the tech sector, the average company wants a product that they can call a helpline if it breaks, and importantly, sue if something major goes wrong. Companies *want* so-called "intent to form legal relations", which is a part of contract law. They don't *want* a free product. That's why companies pay the licence fee for WinRAR. They'd genuinely rather pay $50 than $0 if it means there's an official relationship between companies, because apart from negligence, the law only protects when you have legal relations. That's before considering things like near-guaranteed compatibility between a suite of windows machines, or knowing there will *definitely* be official updates coming down the line to fix issues, that everyone is already used to it, that you can hire employees based on having accreditation in things like Microsoft Office. Imagine for a second a law office. They have highly confidential user data related to ongoing court cases. Now from a technical perspective, that user data is certainly safer on a linux system. But only if the linux system is properly maintained. If something goes wrong, if someone messes up and that data is lost, or worse, leaked, then with an open source product, the law office is entirely on the hook. Their insurance is unlikely to pay out to protect them because they were using a product of unknown provenance, likely using alternative programs to what the rest of the industry uses. So now they get sued by all of their clients. That's too much of a risk. Far simpler to just go with Windows like everyone else, or if you wanna be quirky, get a Mac. And on top of all that, the linux scene is seemingly intentionally confusing. Everyone calls it "linux" except some who insist it's "gnu/linux". 1001 different standards. A level of customisation that's scary, easy to mess up, and different in process and design for *every single distro* seemingly. That a lot of things are still quite clearly designed by programmers rather than UI/UX experts making it an unpleasant experience for non-technical users. Equally, to an outside observer, the community looks kinda tacky. Even the whole thing of being updated and maintained by open source contributors feels weird to non-technical people; most people they know in their lives can't even change a lightbulb, and you're telling me those people are allowed to contribute? At least with a paid product, the faceless developers have been vetted by a profit-oriented company somewhat, but here's an article telling "new" developers to "practice" their skills by contributing to open source? The "protection" of open source, the fact that you and I can look at the source code and see if it's doing anything weird which we can't with proprietaries, isn't much of a protection if you don't know a jot about coding. So to benefit from it, you either have to learn to program - with knowledge in several programming languages enough to appraise multiple projects - or pay someone to look over the code for you to see if it has anything bad in it. You could just "trust" google I guess, which in reality is what most of us do, but is the average person ever going to trust it enough to use it for business purposes or highly-sensitive user data? I love linux. Even in the short stints where I'm "not using it", I still have several old computers running NAS, apache and a bunch of docker containers for things like home automation, all using linux. When I use Windows I itch to get back to the terminal. But most people are not me or anything like me. Most people would "rather the devil you know".

Makes sense as most people dedicated to FOSS software projects are busy writing software rather than branding

Why do you, personally, want Linux to become the default operating system? You definitely want to have enough users that companies are incentivized to provide support for Linux, but after that you start to get diminishing returns or even start encountering negative side-effects of having too many users. I feel like alongside server Linux, consumer devices like Android phones, Chromebooks, Steam Deck, Raspberry Pi etc are great because they have built-in user-bases that guarantee Linux's long-term viability. I don't feel like I ever have to worry that I won't be able to use Linux for years to come, given the vested interests so many different companies have to support the platform. So at this point, what do I care about convincing a bunch of other people to use Linux? I don't mind being part of an exclusive club of mostly very tech-savvy people, because that's the OS I prefer to use anyway: something built with tech-savvy people in mind, i.e. with people like me in mind, not the lowest-common denominator.

Jumping right past the fact Linux is incredibly successful in every other market. Therefore almost all the branding isn't for individuals, but rather created for big corporate fish. Linux could absolutely be successful on the desktop. If that's something you desire, then go help the projects really making that happen. Contribute to Proton, Wayland, Cosmic Desktop, etc... We are building that brand *now*. Open your eyes. Move your feet to make it happen.

the moronic navel gazing, or yes, you are so observant to notice that the person called linux is bad at branding.

09:47, I appreciate showing a flowchart that actually accurately shows the Fedora/RHEL relation, with Fedora being the upstream to RHEL instead of the other way around. I absolutely agree that if Linux ever becomes dominant on the desktop, it very likely will not be known as Linux. SteamOS is a pretty good example on this, which deliberately is not called Steam Linux or Valve Linux. I think it's really not unlikely that we actually will be mainstream like that, but at the moment if that ever happens either Android or ChromeOS has the best odds of getting there. I think it's unlikely it will be a traditional Linux distro like Fedora, Arch or Ubuntu. Either way, it has to be something pre-installed. Regular people are not installing third party operating systems on their PC, and we will never reach desktop dominance like that. Which is one of the reasons I can see this happening with a Google-backed system.

Nah. Linux is not the future. MacOS is more likely to be the future than Linux ever will be.

The more you use linux it feels like every distro is like a car brand. Some distros use a different package manager or desktop envirement, but it matters less the more you try. If you sit in a toyota and switch to a ford, the buttons might be in a different spot, or are differntly labeled, but they all do the same and both are a car. A means to get to a destination

I don't like linux because of it anti individual freedom aproach. I switched from Windows to Linux in 2018 because Windows has become spyware. But never been in the state of mind that I would have recommend linux to someone. Now I use a M2 Pro Mac since one a half week and I highly appreciate how nice Linux is compare to MacOS. Maybe one day I take a look at Asahi Linux. But at the moment i try to get into Mac OS. Sadly I can't give the Mac to my mom because she really will not like it. So unintuitive. Always I connect bluetooth heaphones Apple Music opens. I can't uninstall Apple Music, I don't use Apple Music and I can't deactivate the auto opening when connect bluetooth headphones. What a joy

Chrome OS is already NEARLY a GNU Linux! ... too bad about the spying and control...

It doesn't help that Tux looks overweight. Why they feel the need to give him a belly I'm not sure...

Is Linux even a brand to begin with? not sure where you get the idea that it's a brand, let alone a good or bad one.

Linux cant be a brand, it is a kernel. Linux isn't even an OS . . . the distro which has compiled the kernel and surrounding software layers you interact with makes it an OS. Thats all you need to know, funny title though. :)

it is a no brand, linux users aren't brand slaves

Linux is not a OS

the multitude of linux distros existing is because of just how the nature of freedom is. but even if there are 1000+ distros, only 2-3 are actually recommended to 90% people. the problem is that windows users try to use linux as if it was windows, using shitty paradigms that have been ingrained in their head. linux doesn't have as big a desktop market space as windows because most people just dont care at all. most people will use whatever OS their laptop came with until it is unusable. there's no way to significantly improve how popular linux is unless laptops decide to ship with it (which may increase more as windows continues to become bigger bloat and more unusable on consumer hardware)

Isn't linux a product and canoical the Brand?

I just use it for home server

Many true blue Linux nerds love the nonprofit and open source nature of the OS and promote one of several distros that actually work, such as Ubuntu, made by charities or competent amateurs - yet the forms of Linux most people come in contact with without even realizing it (Android, ChromeOS, SteamOS, specialized OS's used in digital synthesizers, cars, etc.) take the same approach Apple has taken with their own Franken-BSD, Darwin (which you can't even download from them anymore). Even those who give away their distros for free essentially take an open-source, open-license piece of software, and then "close" it by creating derivatives with proprietary code, or creating things like backdoors, prohibitions on sideloading, etc. Android and ChromeOS aren't even GNU-compatible which cuts out a lot of software you can run with them, and in the case of ChromeOS, you're pretty much married to your Google account and the closest thing to a file system is a backup of select Google Drive files, used with offline loads of web app APIs. You are buckled down. Sure, these OSs are free, but only free as in beer, and they only use modified Linux kernels, so they aren't GNU-Linux. Not a fan of Stallman's views on "PDF files" but agree with the optimistic sentiment towards free, as in speech, software. But sadly, open-source, open-license software has allowed many tech companies to profit off the charity work of many programmers, some of whom contributed to bolster their resumes, without even really being passionate about software as a hobby. The Linux revolution didn't come from the hobbyists using decent F/OS/OL/S like Ubuntu, but from the millions of people with Android phones and Chromebooks. Chromebooks are to the poor and young as Windows is to the middle class and Mac is to the upper class and creative professionals stereotype wise - ChromeOS is a true third player. But would Google have been able to afford to make this third player without building on top of Linux? I don't have an issue with this. I don't think they're stealing or plagiarizing - they're taking advantage of the open source. There's something beautiful about how a revolution of generous programmers and managers creating programs pro-bono, and how many of them do genuinely like this hobby and build distros of their own - but it's sad that the biggest distros out there are released by a massive corporation that forked the Linux kernel twice, stripped it of GNU each time, and hid the fact that the core of the OS has anything to do with Linux in the license agreement. I think the other, smaller, actually GNU-compatible distros of Linux appeal to people who like using computers for the sake of using computers - which is me. My desktop is a Mac with virtual machines running Win11, Ubuntu, and TempleOS. I think TempleOS is a quirky little thing to play around with for fun, and it is indeed a 64-bit OS lol... but would I use TempleOS to take care of the kind of business people generally take care of on a computer? Would I use it to make music? Would I program my own apps in HolyC instead of in more lucrative programming languages? When I'm in a hacking mood, I go for the Arduino. But I do like playing with TempleOS, and Ubuntu, just because it's a little pet interest of mine.

What branding, who cares about logos and marketing, it's word of mouth that matters the most, if you hear it on a tv or random ad then probably is a scam. People barely can use window$ (they got tech friends to bother about common actions: install the os, install some game and application, clean the system, and m$ thinks: see the user can do stuff on its own :D), and they can't afford mac, and most don't use GNU/Linux because some half brain friends (which are win fanboys) tell it not to try it. And those who tried it stayed for eons. All 3 major OSs are easy to use and install, the problem is people are dumb, why do you think they remake the installers every now and then, to adapt to the mass intelligence. The difference between the OSs is how stable the drivers are availability of some software that no one uses, which you can solve if you got cash, just get another device (or if possible virtualize it) for that ugly software and use GNU/Linux or mac as a main OS, and also difference is who has the control in an OS: - window$: m$ and devs control you, and maybe malwares - mac: apple controls you - gnu/linux: you control you

The elementary mistake of Linux is literally trying to run a marathon without tieing your shoelaces first (which only some remarkable autistic geniuses must not see any problem with, or intentional sabotage). After their 9 to 5, you especially can't expect the average Jill from the hair salon, or Bob from the construction site, willing to search for command lines off the internet to copy and paste in the "beloved" Linux terminal (with fingers crossed they won't break the system even more, to not have to beg for weeks the "nice" Linux community for help), whenever the simplest little problem pops up with the OS. People have lives, and better things to do with their time, than your average Linux fanboy from within the stinking bowels of his mommy's basement every normal person would need a gas mask to survive a full minute in. Every normal human being will sooner buy a whole new MacBook, than suffer again to the ridiculous crap of fixing anything on Linux. Everywhere else, much more complex issues are solved in a matter of a few button clicks. Either Linux distro developers are some severely autistic Rainmen without the slightest clue what reality they're living in, or it's an intentional gatekeeping for an occasional breadcrumb off the Microsoft and Apple lunch table. Indeed, a practical Linux distro would be a great blow to both of these.

It's funny because I am an artist as a hobby and use linux

Make a distro that is as user friendly as macOS and call it something simple. Build it from the user perspective and make sure every common task is doable without a terminal. I believe the transition could start with the tech-uninterested web-surfers that just uses the web browser, and continue as professional programs get ported to linux.

I've been telling this to Linux users for years. use Windows as I don't have the patience for Linux (and I tries). I have no problem handling the system, finding solutions and tweaking it but I have no patience for this - I just want things to (mostly) work and the vast majority of users cannot, and will not, do things themselves. I get why Linux users love it but those who dream of Linux becoming the most used system need t understand that if it will happen it will look like Windows or macOS and not like the Linux they love. To keep what you have you need to remain a niche system - becoming mainstream will ruin it for you.

Actually Linux is slowly but steadly taking his place as an OS: Linux is everywhere, from routers, iot, small devices, etc. but nowdays even Microsoft is incorporating Linux in Windows kernel (WSL) and releasing OFFICIAL IMAGES of their softwares; for example i run an SQL SERVER in Docker linux in production and the image is from Microsoft. If the server market is basically controlled by Linux it's another story for consumer market: even if drivers support for Linux is way better than before, there are too many UI standards, distros and not enought market for a developer spend time building an app for Linux; on ther hand consumers will have an hard time choosing a distro and will drop off beacause problems with drivers etc. I think linux for consumers can still be possible but will see a slow but steady adoption as it will be slowly incorporated and used in standard products and companies start integrating it in products (ex. replacing the buggy Windwos setups for TV advertizing or totems). The problem with some current Linux communities and distros is that, even if Linux lives only throught collaboration and sharing, they're more fixated on saying they're better because their distro is better instead of trying to help the community as a whole.

Big companies.... Canonical, they call it Ubuntu not Linux. Red Hat ( IBM ) they call it Red Hat. SUSE, they call it SUSE. Valve, they call it Steam OS.

im of the moonshot opinion that microsoft will ditch its kernel for linux and also support pathnames longer than 260 characters sometime in the next 20 years

It isn’t a brand problem. Linux is simply not user friendly.

Hey a tip for your lighting, angle the ring light at 45 degrees from your face. You can add a secondary light on the other 45 degree angle if it creates too many shadows on your face. The ring light in your glasses is very distracting from the content 😂

as windows user I did try to use Linux , mint as starts but holy sh!t it's hard to do most things at least compared to windows. I did switch back to windows, I can say this, the big downside of Linux is the freedom, I mean like a whole a lot of freedom. I like the freedom in Linux however it makes doing some of the basic stuff (such as installing drivers) for people like me to suffer. despite this I still have this persistence idea in my mind of going back to Linux
