Petition for a "Linux tech tips" channel with Anthony as host
I want it... i i just want it, i am not a linux user (yet), but if they make a series with Anthony i would start using it. ( im planing on learning it... it would be great to learn from a legend)
Linus Linux Tips perhaps. Anthony as the main host, but I really want to see Linus as the co-host, allowing Anthony to explain things to Linus as in the process to us all.
id love it if this channel actually gave linux more attention or made a linux specific channel
@@lucywucyyy People need to comment on each new LTT video, and other LMG channels, that they would like this channel or more Linux content =)

Anthony is literally a living legend.
don't jinx

i cant tell if thats a good thing or a bad thing cause I am not well informed much about gaming but it feels like its a bad thing maybe?
@@teamofwinter8128 no it’s actually a good thing
@@teamofwinter8128 How could it possibly be a bad thing. Windows has held market share for far too long, and people deserve a choice between Operating Systems when building a PC. Linux should be better supported and developers should stop being asshats about it.

I would love to see Anthony have his own channel/series, talking about linux, open source, and anything else that suits him. Please!
this comment deserve like 10.000 thumbs up
@@PescaitoFrito Sure does!
or his own series
maybe thats more easy
He really has gotten more comfortable in front of the camera, he present well and his voice isn't so squeaky.
YES, PLEASE.
A "Linux for noobs" series by Anthony would be fantastic
would be good imo. linus makes it seem thiers no learning curve with linux. new users need to be aware of this. they wont stick with linux if new users try and use linux like windows. it doesnt work that way.
@@oldschooldiablo169 I mean, with Ubuntu/PopOS... there really isn't much learning curve these days. If you have exotic hardware you might have a bumpy install, but the majority of desktop hardware will just work. You will likely not have to use the terminal at all.
This, I'm really loving what Anthony is bringing to this channel
@@oldschooldiablo169 imo its pretty much comparable with giving my mom a MacBook when all shes used to is her Windows laptop. It looks different and some "workflows" are not the same and you have .deb instead of .exe and so on but you can adapt to all this it in no-time.
@@recxgems One can always set .exe's to open using WINE as an association if they so choose. Very handy for users that are accustomed to that behavior.
I love how the Linux community has grown in the past couple of years. Back when I started using Linux around 10 years ago somethings was brutal or not possible
Yeah it is crazy how far it has come in just a short period. I have been using Linux since about 2012 and I am amazed at how far it has come in such short time. I remember when you couldn't watch Netflix in it without having to do it through Wine. I remember steam not being released yet natively and had to install the Windows version.
I remember when Wine wasn't even at 2.0 yet.
How time flies.
And i hope it grows to take over every other operating system. It's the best in my opinion and i wish that more people would use it/ consider it.
Oh dude straight up. I remember just giving up on wine.
Windows 11 is coming....looooots of pc will be incompatible...will switch to linux....
@@andreeacatalin8260 good point, I didn't think of that. .hmmmmmm. but tbh they'll probably just stay on 10 for the most part.
Still, something to think about. Maybe it'll get some.
Fell in love with Mint years ago. Have really been impressed with how compatibility for gaming has improved over the years. I'm anticipating the day I can leave Windows behind for good.
I'm too excited to tell microsoft to fuck off for good
Started. Manjaro is great. All my games run.
The best way to leave Windows is doing now, cut it directly, no dualboot or anything, did this in 2017 and have no regrets
did so this year, windows went corrupt on me and lost patience with it after its most recent update, i just cant play Tarkov and thats fine I have hunt
you said this 3 years ago. How are you going right now? i'm a vr gamer also and wondering how likely this change is for me with a 4070 these days

Anthony is pleasant on all the videos he's in, truthfully. It doesn't matter who's he with, he's pretty awesome for videos.
It's nice because it feels less like Anthony is a guest stair, and is just a rotating Co-host.
Yeah it makes it feel less exhausting to watch with the rotating speakers for some reason.
Anthony is the GOAT, without him plenty of the more complex videos on the channel wouldn't get made at all.

Tip one: let her use her hand
Linus: "Is that RGB control on Linux??"
Anthony: "Yep" **SIGHS**
I use OpenRGB (and actually have helped add support for new hardware), and I love it. Between OpenRGB, Liquidctl, and CKB-Next, I have full lighting control of my ASRock X570 motherboard, my Addressable RGB Chassis fans, my RGB RAM (G.Skill Trident Z RGB), and my NZXT Kraken X63 AIO. It's wild, almost none of this was possible a year ago.
It requires the QT framework to build, otherwise I'd use it to keep the RGB ram lights off on my headless server (which, yes, runs with RGB ram- it's what I had lying around :p)
@@antlers1305 So what? What do you have against qmake? Who cares?
Lol, I had to install windows on a spare drive just to configure my RGB. Will be nice to finally be able to configure it from Linux.
I never could get openrgb to work.
A note about that bug report tweet - I think a big part of why there are so many more reports is because Linux users are very familiar with the bug reporting process. Your average Windows user likely just uses support forums or the like, whereas because most open source projects have an open bug report thing, it's very common to submit a bug report.

Thanks for the OpenHMD mention!
There is actually quite some progress on Open Source (Linux) VR with different projects, involved companies and development going on by a dedicated community!
Would love to chat about this and provide information, showing off some things that Open Source VR can do, that commercial VR can not!
Of course there is always a lot of work, specially when reverse engineering devices (where companies have no interest in sharing drivers), but with devices gaining (close to) full parity to the proprietary stack, a lot of interesting things are happening!
SteamVR-OpenHMD made it possible for a while now to also play VR games that don't have support for a particular device, including running over Proton!
I game regularly with my PSVR (Project Cars 2, Proton, Ubuntu 20.04 SteamVR-OpenHMD) with decent performance, though of course beware the dragons.
what titles you play, why u need UNIX?
@@lucasrem Doing development on a project like OpenHMD is not about available titles or such, its about choice to do with your hardware what you want and not being restricted by what the hardware vendor provides. Some devices we support have been badly supported by their developers, and we give them new life!
OpenHMD also works Multi-Platform and Multi-Device, so Windows, Linux, Mac OSX, Android and FreeBSD. Being forced to be locked into a ecosystem is bad, and open source drivers should be the norm in our opinion. (shout out to Mesa!)
@Haitian Xu "everything works fine on Windows" lmao
@Haitian Xu because they can? Just because people did NOT rely on the "ah it works why bother" did we get massive advancements in life in general, not just technology.
Open source development for alternative platforms often generates feasible solutions for more popular ones. Someone develops something for Linux which also applies for Windows - everybody profits.
Linux was always viewed as an OS for nerds that in no way in hell an average person could run or work in. Now? Now it's less complicated than Windows!
@Haitian Xu Again, its about choice, what if you don't want to use WIndows?
We have researchers on FreeBSD and Mac that need VR support (since their entire system works on that), vendors are not doing that, so should they just not do VR because of that?
Also there are plenty of cheaper VR headsets (deepoon, 3Glasses, WVR) with barely any support on Windows (or drivers breaking after a update, non-maintained by vendor). Having a open source driver for that makes sure it keeps working since everyone can maintain it, regardless of operating system, now and in the future!

9:27 After years of practice, Linus almost managed to drop himself to the ground
He already has.
He actually dropped himself in the ultimate rgb pc video back in 2017
once he drops himself to the ground the next step is going to be missing it, that's when he will master the ability to fly. We are witnessing his powers grow…in tandem with the viability of the Linux desktop. Once Linux has achieved desktop dominance, so will Linus have achieved dominance over the entire world.

@@FoxHoundUnit89 yes, but maybe he writes the info that he knows so while filming he doesn't forget important stuff
I know a lot about tech as well, but if you put me in front of a camera or into an interview like situation I would ramble all day. Sometimes you have so much information in your head bursting at the seams, having a script helps stop you from overloading everyone else or reflexively using terminology and jargon that isn't as widely understood as you think.

Outside of highly-specialized software and these (DRM/Anti-Cheat) Rootkits, there's no major compatibility issue.

Anthony sounds like he'd be a good teacher. He should teach a linux series
*If they start making games under Linux, Windows will die.*
Microsoft has a strong grip on education and generations were tamed into Windows users. Even if all the apps and games people use get a native port, mass adaption will still take time and Microsoft can react by loosening it's anti-user practices to a level where people are more willing to put up with it rather than get used to a new OS.
Games are made for Linux for quite some time and I mean native Linux games without WINE compatibility layer.
1. Cities Skylines
2. Hearts of Iron 4
3. Stellaris
4. Kerbal Space Program
And many more: linuxconfig.org/10-best-native-linux-games (this isn't complete list, just the most popular ones)
@@wiktorwektor123 You see, the problem is that it's really rare for AAA games to have native ports. And especially for the popular games. PUBG, Fortnite, LoL never had one, PUBG is still listed as broked on Protondb, and I hear the other two also has issues with the anti-cheat systems. Rocket League used to have a native port, but support was pulled months ago. Also some native ports have worse performance than the Windows versions through Proton. So that's how things are.
Ok!
@Cekeybula You don't have to be poor to use Linux. I'm using it because it's safer, respect my privacy and uses less hardware resources to work and less resources = faster work.
I just made the switch to Linux. I now view Windows as a specialty tool to run the stuff that doesn't work on Linux, like many games, which is why the gaming PC (regretably) still uses Win10. But for everything else, I will be a penguin forever.
Isn't it SO liberating? Like ever since i switched i've been just toying with it and looking at the marvel that is FOSS. It's been a great experience and i would recommend everyone to at least try it!
@Verda Last time I used TAILS, autoscroll via middle mouse button was a thing.
Linux for gaming is a joke. Due to its very nature, compatibility is a stretch. Kinda like how consoles flattened the field compared to PCs.
I've been hearing for 15 years ''Linux is good for gaming now !''. Guess what, it still isn't, and never will. Just like SLI or ultrawides, gaming on Linux is a bizarre fantasy with no real world applications.
@Verda Chromium team is to blame, what's even worse - they've made scrolling speed on Linux constant (means it cannot be changed at all, and won't respect system settings). But, eh, maybe give Firefox a try? It supports middle mouse button for scrolling and changing scroll speed, and there are plenty of other benefits (like RAM usage).

Really appreciated the video guys. I have all my steam library running on manjaro!!!! I honestly think its better than when i userd windows. And no privacy issues... Thanks Gents
Before switching to Linux Desktop earlier this year, I ran everything on macOS... so Game support for me actually improved a lot
Nobody plays games on Mac
Mac OSX has been straight garbage town since release.
Kris Bright depends what you need as a developer my experience is very good for macOS
I have never used a Mac. So genuine question: why is Mac bad at gaming and is it intentionally made that way by Apple3?
@@ExtremeWays4Bourne because many studios dont make it for mac actually.

Fun fact: Linux was so small on the desktop scene that valve didn't have any anti-cheat for Linux until like 2017-18
What I love the most about gaming on Linux: you can tab in and out of any game _instantly_ -in full screen mode
agreed
That’s one of my most hated things about windows
Even some older games don't fail that hard to do so...
if game crashed just open terminal in another desktop and type xkill and kill whatever you point the cursor at
Exclusive fullscreen mode works the same way in X11 as in Windows (hangs on alt-tab to give back the video buffer) but it's VERY rarely used in native ports and turned off by default in Wine.
I need more Anthony videos.
The guy is a pleasure to watch.
Explains everything so well.

Finally doing Linux his almost namesake! Lovely and very informative....
After years of having Linux only I finally broke down and got Windows because the editors for Unity and UE4 still run much better on Windows (and the Epic Launcher doesn't work on Linux). Yet, I still play games exclusively on Linux -- that's where I have them installed, and that the OS I prefer to use, so that is where I play the games.

Me: "Well this is a wierd sponsorship segway."
Segway doesn't sponsor LTT.

people who are still doing console wars what are you doing
it is now time for os wars
Distro war since 90's
Next year: ARM vs. x86
Console wars can kinda be linked to "OS wars", PS4 is based on BSD and Xbox is based on Windows.
@Mehdi It will take RISCV an other decade to catch up though, but I think it will.
It's going to be on embedded first
@Codera I just want to point you to the xbox one system software wikipedia page where it clearly states that it is windows based, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_One_system_software ,it was also stated by many people at Microsoft that it is running on a modified windows kernel and windows 10 core.
This is a great eye opener!
oh my GOD i live the new intro!
"I've got a pretty big library at home" dude has 1,420 games. I thought I had too many, holy shit
Anthony is quickly becoming my favorite recurring host. Guy knows his shtuff
always love to see a professional
i love anthony's way of presenting more than linus'. he both sounds like an as seen on TV advertiser and a convincing car salesman
He's certainly selling what he's advertising well! Well, you don't really have to sell FOSS to people, seeing as it's free, but still. If I wasn't already convinced to make the switch because of Windows being fucking Windows, he'd definitely have sold me on at least doing some further research.
I'm already watching this video on my laptop running mint. A system 76 with pop os is probably next though.

Petition for a separate Linux only channel of Linus media group with Anthony as the host!
I would certainly sign this petition
I'm interested in seeing what the wine 6.0 Release actually changed. It will probably take some time until there is a usable distro. But when there is I would love to see Anthony explaining it.
The Linux community is smaller than the “average pc gamer” but given that a lot of devs use Linux, it punches high above its weight.
Even more, Linux is practically 99% platform of choice among VFX professionals. This is where Windows seriously sucks.
Basically where people know they’re stuff, they know windows is terrible
My old windows 7 laptop was incredibly slow and borderline unusable. I formatted the entire drive and installed void linux. Works like a dream even with an old HDD.
I mean. Move out of the consumer niche windows has built for it self it's almost all Linux. (With some Unix in there as well)
Most devs use Windows and they use Visual Studio and .NET. Windows is everywhere. I use Qt Creator on Kubuntu. It is good quality. The compiler is pretty smart at detecting problems. However, I am not a professional. Releasing a program on Linux is hell. If I compile on Kubuntu 20.10 and try to run my EXE on Kubuntu 18.04, it doesn't run.
If I compile on Kubuntu 18.04 and try to run my EXE on Kubuntu 20.10, it does run.
WTF. I have never seen that on Windows. Compile anywhere and you can most likely run on Win XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10. Maybe even all the way back to Win 95.
Every time i want to start cmd in windows, i automatically press Ctrl+Alt+T and then i remember
hahahahhahaha. same buddy. i switch between OSes for work and stuff like that, and i instantly see even though Windows 10 looks slightly more polished, it doesn't feel as snappy as my linux. Terminal made me wanted to learn commands the first time i used it.
i never knew that this was a shortcut, thanks :) i will use it from now on :D
Same here lmao. If someone has some kind of problem in windows I'm like: I take the keyboard > Ctrl + Alt + Delete > iwait like 3 -5 sec > oh. Windows...
I only use windows for atalker mods and fusion 360 and I do this whenever stalker crashes.. which is a lot.

I am an avid Linux user and I have been gaming on Linux for years. Lutris and Wine have made leaps and bounds and I have been able to play *almost* every game, and it's to the point where it's kinda a fun challenge to see if stuff works, and to see if I can get it working . The only issue I've ever had is anticheat software, as mentioned in the video. EAC is absolutely terrible and makes gaming on Linux hard if you want to play some competitive games. I have both installed side by side, and I move to Window just for games with anticheat. Overall I agree with this video. Gaming on Linux is tremendous and most of the time it works without a hitch, most of the time it's faster.
I tried battlefield 1942 back in the days. It was a quite considerate gane in frame rate and also the ping dropped several ms. Running on the university core network it was as low as 4ms
I tried a game called Paladins, It used to work and had EAC but after a patch, Linux support gone. EAC is super shady.
Akhilesh H Exactly! You never know when support is gonna drop with a patch, which is super lame. If EAC (and other anticheat solutions) would just try to make Linux work then a major hurdle for Linux gamers would be gone.
> most of the time it's faster.
completely bullshit! Why you even not counting time to install all these crutches (wine, dxvk, other garbage), when on windows it just works, by a double click?
the only bit i disagree with is performance. when on low (vega 3 graphics) at least for me. it runs 10-20 percent lower. also i couldnt get non steam games (gog Epic or .exe) to run at all but that might be my incompetence
Now I understand why Anthony stands far away in background and talks because they're practising social distance in all new window, took me this long to realise that
2-3 years from now, I can see Linux being the choice of gamers. From 2019-2020 we have seen the largest jump in gaming in linux

Would it be possible to get a new channel - LinuxTechTips. I absolutely love all the Linux content.

Simple stuff and deep dives!
Yeah for sure TechGuru Anthony.
Not sure to keep using them . Some games servers will ban you permanent
Anthony and Wendell from Level One will make a great team!
Sure, ask Linus Torvalds
can we get an update to this video ?
Alright Anthony. You got me I’ll give Pop OS a try
Watching this on Linux right now! I hope more people see how awesome it is to have full control over your desktop without spyware (out of the box). The amount of customization is insane and really got me excited about my full switch to Linux a year ago!
I'm also currently experimenting with Linux (Manjaro + KDE Plasma to be precise), yet I want the Affinity Suite and some other Windows(/Mac)-only stuff so at least it has to stay as a second option for me. BTW, how do you handle data? Do you have a partition for just storing data? Do you store your data in Windows and then mount the Windows partitino in Linux (which is what I am currently doing)? Or something completely different? Or do you just not have any Windows installation at all?
@@lemonlime1157 I think a better place to ask questions would be on r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions, you will probably get better answers there then you ever could get on youtube, but if you don't want to ask there, then ask away.
I have my daughter running on mint. As more and more games gain support I may get lucky and not have to ever move her to windows
Been using Linux in a dual boot config for years, currently Manjaro with KDE Plasma 5 is my preference. In a year or so down the line I'm going to go through my backlog of windows games that don't work (well) on proton and play all of them, eliminating all need to ever touch windows again.
I also put Manjaro with LXqt on my mom's chromebook and she loves it a lot more than ChromeOS or Windows.
It will never not be weird for me to see people complain about windows spyware while using an Android phone or iPhone.
That's like saying white bread is unhealthy while eating chocolate cake.
I just switched to pop_os full time about 3 days ago. And i LOVE it. 10/10 would recommend.
Not going back to windows.
Is it challenging compared to a windows install? I'm building a new PC soon, and I'm intimidated by the command shell
@@sandwichbandit779 installing popOS is so easy probably your dad could do it xD

@@sandwichbandit779 Installing pop_os is as easy as installing windows. With a few lines in the terminal (which you can simply copy-paste), you can customize gnome(the default desktop environment) to your heart's content.

While they scrolled over his steam game list I was like: Yoooo, that looks a lot like my GOG page xD
Retro games for the win!!
I have been using Linux for my Workstation and Windows for my Gaming side on dual boot system. I would love if more game developers such as origins, blizzard and more start developing their games on Linux as well, to be honest some of them are already open and working on Apple's iOS going over to Linux should not be a big deal, and it should be able to run without any issues due to the core of the OS... I hope that some day I will simply use Ubutntu or some Linux distribution without worrying if my software will work properly.
I've been using Linux 20 years and couldn't agree more re: Proton. When it came out, there was a bunch of nerds complaining it will dissuade developers from making native ports, but they weren't exactly lining up around the block, were they? I have more games than I can play now, and whether it runs through Proton or natively through Linux... I honestly couldn't give a damn.
Don't you still get banned from games like Destiny 2 and WoW if you run them trough Proton?
Far too many "natively supported" games that run worse than the proton version to be honest. The last main hurdle is anti-cheat and DRM. Personally I'd rather have some sort of "I promise I'll be good" server without intrusive anti cheat being required. And I'd rather have no DRM, so even if they made the DRM linux compatible, I'd probably avoid the game.
No we need them to make Linux Native if you don't think so you really don't get it, it is the last choke hold Microsoft has.
Heh. I'm a dev and publisher. I think it's fine. It helps work on upselling my own stuff. I'm developing on Linux and I'm pushing out on all of the Big Three- so... Proton? It lets me play the stuff we *ALL* know won't happen...and helps give a bigger story (The Steam numbers aren't as accurate as people would lead you to believe...the number one seller on the HIB #2? Linux... There was over 250k takers on that one.)
Native games would be preferred, but I'll take what I can get TBH.

thanks its really informative for me
What about modding or installing games from installers or repacks, from somewhere else than Steam or epic games?
