i live in the Philippines (at the third world country parts.) many Students and businesses here use Linux not by choice but because of survival. old broken computers are not thrown away here, they're restored. we're grateful for Linux for resurrecting our computers that other countries just throw out. 🙏
Moved over to linux last year. Started on pop os and now I've moved over to debian. Loving it.
So glad you're having a great experience and your loving it. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
Windows update was the main reason I switched to Linux. For a while, I used windows update blocker to disable updates until I wanted to update. But that leaves windows vulnerable to the many attackers out there until you update again. Then when you do, it takes forever, especially if a feature update is available. And if you don't manage your updates somehow, windows eventually becomes unusable. Even with a rolling Linux distro like Arch or Debian Sid, updates are not a problem. All of the other reasons you mentioned also were factors in why I switched.
Thank you so much for sharing, and I agree with everything you said. Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
When you've been using Linux for a while it makes you realise how bad windows really is. Your absolutely spot on Windows update is just a pure nightmare. When they have to release updates to fix windows updates your like what!
So why not just let windows update do its thing? In all my years I've never be inconvenienced by it. Just let it run bro damn.
Yes, I prefer linux over any other OS for a couple of reasons :
1. The OS is yours, so you can change whatever you want if you have the knowledge
2. As Linux uses a package manager, it's apps are more secure and stable.
3. Doesn't have ANY unnecessary things pre-installed.
4. Basically Linux is whatever you want it to be.
BUT........it doesn't work out-of-the-box for the most part, yet, there's when newbies get frustrated and go back to windows. Because they admit that windows sucks, but they also feel linux is BROKEN. I've been using linux for 1 year and only I know how much tinkering I had to do to make everything work flawlessly. So the conclusion is, Linux is better, for some usage. But if you want the vast majority to grasp it as their default, you can't get away but to make things easy for the end-user.
All excellent points, thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
Yes I've actually used a raspberry pi with no interface before and I AM NOT ONE OF THESE PEOPLE
Manjaro on the office laptop, Gentoo on my Home Desktop. Using linux since 2007 after a big data loss because of viruses. And never get back to Windows since then.
Glad to hear you're doing awesome on Linux.
@@eBuzzCentral I could say on this laptop i've got 70 days uptime since last reboot. But all you know how linux works.
@@sandikata Why Gentoo ?
I so badly want to switch from Windows 11 to Linux Mint. Since Windows 7 it feels like every release becomes less of an OS and more of a bloated data collection platform. :/ I did research, tinkered with Linux Mint on the USB, then installed it on a secondary drive. Played with it for a while and wow, I freaking love it. It looks beautiful, feels snappy and non-bloated, I LOVE how most stuff is free and easy to get. It is a really nice feeling. Plus, oddly for me, the audio was better. I had speaker fill enabled out of the box on spotify and youtube (something I can not figure out in Windows to this day, lol). I even found lighweight alternatives for my fan curves and RBG (which I thought would be a massive issue). But, as mainly a gamer, I did run into issues and complaints. Mainly no Raytracing or DLSS support on my RTX3080 and absolutely no good free alternative to Bluestacks/NOX to play emulated Google Play games, both of which are pretty big issues for me. So, I feel like for me the trade off would be too much right now. BUT...I will continue to watch all the Linux youtubers and playing with the OS on a second drive. Maybe one day the time will come where I switch over for good. :)
@Rio-Kolza:
Ever since you said the-words "RTX 3080" I recognized it as a nVidia GeForce graphics-card. nVidia graphics-cards have been having problems working-well in Linux; I don't blame you for the issues you've been having.
I don't-know the specific-specifics of why Linux has had issues with nVidia graphics-cards, but I know it has something-to-do with nVidia corporation not wanting to work with the-Linux-Foundation in getting their-hardware-drivers into the Linux kernel[, for maximum compatibility] (it's weird/ironic: the old nVidia (the one from the 1990s) 's graphics-cards worked-well in Linux (one of the reasons-being because the drivers were open-source), while ATI-Radeon graphics-cards were closed-source. Ever since the-2000s (I don't-recall what year exactly, but I know it was somewhere around between-2000-and-2010, at the beginning of the 2000s), nVidia and ATI did an "about-face"[/180-degree-turn/total-U-turn], and nVidia closed-sourced its drivers, whereas ATI opened-them-up, and now AMD (which bought ATI) works-well in Linux, whereas nVidia graphics-cards have problems :-/ ).
Linux isn't the best choice for gamers right now, but eventually it will be. Given enough time, more and more people will use Linux, allowing game devs to focus more on said platform.
I have a 3060Ti, ray-tracing and DLSS does work if you put "PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%" in the Steam Launch Options for games.
You have forgotten to mention the power of costumizability we have in Linux.
Great point thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
When it comes to Electronics Engineering software, Windows is the only operating system that developers support. Linux is not for everyone.
We might want to reword that, Windows is the only operating system that big tech supports. There are plenty of developers out there creating thousands of applications for Linux, that do it off donations, and they are creating some great software. So please let's not forget about them.
@@eBuzzCentral Therefore, if you use electronics engineering software it's not for you. You can't deny there are cases MacOS or Windows is better because they are the only ones who have the tools built for it.
I take it you're speaking of CAD software? There are plenty of alternatives on Linux, but like I always say to people, if you're using Windows because you have to have a specific piece of software that's what you have to do. But generally speaking, most people out there could leave windows and switch to Linux for security and privacy.
@@eBuzzCentral not gaming
I've run power sim Lt spice and quartus well through wine idk if I ever face a situation where I can't I'll just spin up a VM ig
Freedom to me: To be able to have my desktop look the way I want it to. To be able to install a program and know that it's not going to have ads and, when there's an update, the app won't be removed without my permission. To know that I can uninstall any non-system app and it will stay uninstalled unless I choose to install it again. Can't tell you how many times Windows has reinstalled OneDrive with one of their updates. To be able to look at a weather widget (a true widget at that) and not be hit with news at the same time. There are only 2 main reasons that I'm still using windows off and on. Certain video streaming (Xfinity Stream being one of them) doesn't work in Linux (at least I have found a way yet). The other reason is that while a majority of games I play do work (and fairly well at that), I'm still in the process of figuring out how to get some games to work in Linux. But I tell ya, I'm finding myself more and more dreading having to go to Windows for any reason. I mean Garuda KDE Dragonized just looks so good and really easy to use so far. I'm still hanging on to Pop OS, though.
Thank you so much for all that input.
Nice video Troy! i started using linux between 2020/2021 and what made me choose linux over windows was the use of resources and the privacy it offers me. With Linux i can do my work and much more with a lot of ways that windows wouldnt allow it. Long live the Open Source!
Amen brother
Do you use a pine phone too for privacy?
@@emeukal7683 Not yet, i've been thinking on acquiring one and give plasma mobile a try. Looks promising
from someone who is one week into the Linux switcheroo.....my main reason to switch my "productivity" PC to Linux was to give it a longer life. Windows 11 was hammering the older chip set and it was becoming more and more laborious to get my lab work done. It took about three months to a) land on a distro I could understand, and b) find acceptable Linux versions of the software I use. I'm a happy camper so far but it was not an easy journey to finally wiping the disks and start over. Linux ain't easy I'll say that much
Thank you so much for sharing that, I appreciate your comment and appreciate you watching the video.
It was performance for me. I bought my HP laptop in 2017, and it was starting to struggle in Windows 10. It used up like 2 gb of RAM when idle which was insane. Educated myself on Linux a little bit, tried Manjaro, works like a charm, never looked back. Won't say it's "good as new" but I haven't had a performance issue since.
There is an exception to the no-reboot assumption. If the kernel is updated, you will most likely have to reboot to use the new one. There are some distros that allow on-the-fly kernel updates, which do remove the need to re-boot, but that capability is not available in most distros.
That's why I stated in the video, that if you updated drivers or the colonel, if the OS doesn't ask you to reboot, go ahead and reboot just to be safe.
I've messed with Linux for like a month. If gaming was all native(anti-cheat, not having to mess with wine etc) I would switch tomorrow morning. That's my issue.
I know a lot of people that are like that, but with the steam deck on their horizon, and EAC almost ready for prime Time on Linux and the news that battle is almost ready for Linux I think things are going to get interesting pretty soon.
@@eBuzzCentral let's hope for that. Tired of Microsoft bs
@@eBuzzCentral And what about old games that aren't on steam?
Myne as well, too many games dont work or need a lot of tinkering thats fuzzy for me since i dont really know my way around the terminal and the terminology thats being used, its all quite overwhelming. Fingers crossed to improvements, deck is making huge progress now apex is working in linux as well ! Yes i do keep track of whats working and not , hopefully it gets to a state where i can confortably move to it
I still use Windows 10 because the scaling and fractional scaling works. I have a a 32" 1440p 144hz monitor and i tried a lot of distros and DEs, scaling works only in 1 or 2 apps and that's bad. If i can't see or read i can't use, when they fix that in Linux i will switch to Linux 100%.
I've never had an issue with scaling in any of the Linux distros I use, I used a 27, 35 and 42-in monitor.
@@eBuzzCentral What ??? Impossible, that's BS. Try 1,5 or 1,75 and open Steam, Stremio, etc. Did it scale, no for sure. Better use XFCE and try to scale, everything got smaller, what a joke.
14:15 Yes but that is not always true. An example that comes to mind as to why you need to reboot after installing updates, is the kernel (depending on the distro).
And I stick to that in the video. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
What Linux ultimately needs to convince EVERYONE to switch not just Techsavyy people is to get their shit together and offer a cheap and easy to use alternative to windows and mac. It's that "simple". BUT with a community that prides itself in complexity of their distros and the headspinning amount of distros this is not likely to happen. Maybe a company just has to start a kickstarter to build the next Distro that has the average user in mind, where you can install games and plug things in and use the UI intuitively and thigs just work most of the time and not have to worry about installing weird updates that have effects on like 15 other packages.
There are plenty of non-tech savvy people that switch every day. Linux Mint? PopOS? There are plenty of plug and go operating systems out there. And quite honestly narrowing it down to one OS completely defeats the purpose of Linux, that's what Windows and Mac users are stuck with. The reason there are so many distros, is because of the freedom of Linux, it's truly open source. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
@@eBuzzCentral watch Linus Tech Tips give their opinion about Linux when they tried to daily drive it. Those are the things that have to be fixed so everyone can use Linux. Yeah many distros is cool and all but if the linux community came together to focus on creatin one or two distros that could realistically substitute shitty Windows and Mac, wouldnt that be great?
It wasn't a daily drive challenge, let's totally be honest. It was a daily gaming challenge.
@@eBuzzCentral thats true and its the main thing holding me back from linux. They also faced non gaming challenges.
I also don't like the way Microsoft now tries to make it hard for you to install Windows with a local account. Having access to your device be dependent on an online account with some company presents a lot of potential issues. It is like everything this horrible company does is to the ends of taking away control from the end user.
100% agree.
Excellent video! You're preaching to the choir here, my friend, as I've been using Linux as my only OS for nearly two years now. I do like the look of Feren OS, I've got to say. I think I'll be trying that one out on a USB stick very soon!
It is a very nice os, check back and let me know how it goes. Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
The first few seconds, I subscribed, I reached the point in my yt life skills that I can tell who's gonna benefits me, and u sit seem like one of em.
Keep it up, like I thought
Thank you my friend and thank you for watching the video
@@eBuzzCentral well actually thank you, I'm going now and switching to Linux, and apparently I ain't sure but I think windows is shutting my windows down when I take a long time to activate it maybe cuz I live in Africa, whatever, I can install Linux as a main system right ?
I switched to Linux and am never looking back. Started with Mint and now I'm on Fedora with Cinnamon. Loving the stability, freedom and privacy.
Excellent!!!!!!!! When I worked at Nortel in my group we had Unix machines that were up for over a year without a restart. I'm sr the same could be said for Linux and Macs. My wife has to use windows in her work and there are always issues!! Troy, your 10 points are timely and focused. Thanks again!!
BTW, regarding my Bluetooth issues, I have Manjaro KDE installed and updated. Still no luck but I will keep on trying. I have external USB drives with Linux distros on them I can play around with. I know that I had Bluetooth working before and can't for the life of me figure out why a distro that touts itself as plug and play like Ubuntu or Manjaro has issues with Bluetooth. I'll keep plugging along!😀
I'll reach out to the community and find out if anybody else is having issues with their bluetooth.
@@eBuzzCentral i also have bluetooth issues in Manjaro kde and Endeavor os kde
But on the other side Bluetooth work's fine on debian based like feren os, linux mint, pop os, Ubuntu, kubuntu
@@NADEEMKHAN-sj5hn hi Nadeem! Did you have to do something extra to get Bluetooth working on those distros because I haven't been able to. I'm in Kali Linux at the moment because I watched a RUclips video on how to get it working. No luck yet.
Dude, update the kernel, usually that is how you fix wifi/bt not working
He's running the most recent Kernel in Manjaro
because i dont really need fancy stuff in computer. linux is actually satisfy me. just using the popular distro and popular hardware than for basic usage it is seamless maybe some configuring using terminal but mostly it is just copy paste and a little bit common sense. but for working with others, then using windows is a must because the other guy only know that, also if using specific hardware than the windows is a must because the driver suite is designed run on that. Office, browsing, playing video, is so much better using linux especially in laptop it fast and longer battery life if configured properly.
The fact he uses Linux in a VM inside Windows made me doubt some of his opinions.
I was using it for my comparisons, if you watch any of my videos you know I have one machine that has Windows on it specifically for comparisons. And if you've tried running Windows 11 in a virtual machine lately, it's like molasses.
@@eBuzzCentral Yeah rounded corners and translucent elements are tough on VMs.
Correct. The free as in freedom clicked for me back in the early 2000's when I first attempted to use Linux as a daily driver. I had to reconfigure and recompile the driver for the remote control of my television card. It dawned on me that I could reconfigure the drivers and use the remote control to remotely control the PC instead !
That is 👍👍👍👍
While technically you can continue to run after an update it's pretty common to have bizarre issues crop up. The reason is because for many distros (I know arch does this at least) updating the kernel will wipe the existing kernel modules off the system. So now the running kernel cannot load modules it needs, for me this has caused things like audio not working, new devices to not load, network mounting issues and so on. In the ye-olden days before the kernel had module support 2.4? 2.6? this wasn't an issue as the running kernel was entirely self contained, and also I recall systems not automatically wiping the kernel modules back then either, I don't know why this is done now, it seems like a terrible default. Anyway, in short, after an update reboot the system especially if the kernel has been updated. In a server environment where you prevent modules from getting wiped, relaunch updated daemons, and live patch the kernel then yes you can keep a linux system running basically indefinately, but that's not the reality for basically any desktop user. In fact, if distro's aren't going to implement a robust live patching system then the update really should just prompt for a reboot as it would result in fewer tickets, maybe some do already, dnno, I've never used a gui tool for that. One thing that IS true though, is that unless you are talking a major version upgrade it's only ever a single upgrade run of your package manager, and one reboot. No repeated reboots of windows.
I will look into that.
Aaah ,banging video ,thank you ,I'm a new dude to Linux ,I'm 48years old and I'm loving Linux and loving the journey and the learning curve!!! Go Linux ,now I do have a laptop with Windows 10,was never a great power user or anything ,but once I get this Linux thing ,I'll be wiping that laptop clean and will install Linux , Brilliant channel ,Thank You
Thank you so much for all your kind words and for watching the video. Keep me updated on how your Linux journey is going.
Nice video and nice explained
I like feren os, linux Mint, Manjaro, Endeavor os
Thank you. And thank you for watching the video.
Hi Troy, Great video and I agree with you 100%, I use linux since 2009, my laptop (Bravo 15 A4ddr) use arch linux and my old desktop 2011 (HP Z420) with debian, both desktop xfce, I'm very happy and work great!
Awesome, great to hear you're doing so well.
@@eBuzzCentral Thank you 😁
The amount of data Windows collects from you whilst your PC on is mind boggling and it can't all be shut off. They are using my own internet connection to collect this data which they almost certainly profit from in some way. I know in the modern age, privacy is a different thing now than it was, walking down the street for example will more than likely have you on a camera of sorts for example but in my own home, minding my own business, i find it disgraceful that i can value my privacy and security as much as i should whilst using a Windows OS on my PC that i paid for. For me, it is an important reason for my switch to Linux.
Thank you so much for sharing all that information, and thank you for watching my channel
Updating windows takes 5-6 hours if not more. Its harrowing to say the least. And yes my machine becomes practically useless while updates are going on. I have gotten rid of windows on my 10 year old PC and installed Ubuntu and frankly I am much happier. Although I still have windows on my laptop because I am a Software Developer and I have to develop for windows machines. I wish more people would start using Linux.
Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
Brilliant video info again thank you. The more I use Linux, the more I learn, the less I use windows. The other fabulous thing about Linux is the choice of distros & desktops it's never ending. I'm still distro hopping 4 months down the line. Vista 2 Windows 11 is a heavy weight bloated spyware mess. All they have done since that mess was launched was push out updates bug fixes and security patches. People are just unwilling to move from windows becuse they are to lazy to learn something new. If there happy to use an os like that thats there choice. For me once I've one learned Linux then it's goodbye Windows for good.
Thank you so much for all that information, and I can't disagree with anything you said. Once again thank you for watching my channel.
I have been using Linux for the past 20 years and never had a virus problem.
I am almost 15 years and not one virus problem.
I'm thinking about this but WHICH DISTRO I could use holoISO/SteamOS or pop os the list goes on basically
Love your videos. I have been using Linux for years now both Manjaro, Mint. In recent months however, First in Manjaro then in Mint v21 There has been a change in the kernel which has completely broken network connections to other machines, Linux, Windows and even my NAS. I was using hardwired mounts in the fstab file which worked very well. It stopped working a few months ago with Manjaro and now also in Mint 21. I have looked on many occasions for a solution to this and have seen a few different suggestions and none work. Samba has been broken for years and is not an option. So I have had to stay with Mint 20.3 as it works fine. It will be supported until 2025. So for anyone needing network connections to other shares, this is a problem. So, with all the reviews of Linux new distros no one is talking about the elephant in the room, broken network connections. To many users this problem makes Linux unuseable moving forward. Hopefully someone will figure out a reliable workaround and not 6 pages of edits to multiple config files. We need an app that allows you to find and auto mount your network shares that is useable for all users. I hate windows but... the networking works well.
my first distro was linux mint, then Linux Mint XFCE, Linux lite, peppermint OS, before settling on MX Linux. my machine is a bit slow but it works. I installed manuskript, and focuswriter, brave and vivaldi browser on my machine.
Thanks for sharing your info, and thank you for watching the video.
Free is in freedom mean to me Open source
One big reason I have abandoned Windows...on my high end gaming PC I had upgraded to Win 11 just to see if it would run (as I knew little of TPM but had seen it in motherboard instruction manual, might say out of curiosity and if I wanted to update to Win 12 later this would show me I wouldn't need to upgrade my computer). One drive (or whatever MS calls it, their cloud nonsense), Win 11 many games didn't run quite right, Retroarch had screen tearing...just no, no no no (ran it both with my RX7900XTX and GTX1080ti, both ran the same so it was a Win 11 problem). Win 10 had no issues with games. I NEVER had the cloud enabled for the 7 years I ran Win 10 on both the high end music production PC I built and the high end gaming PC I built (one had 6th gen i7 and the other 2nd gen Ryzen 7). Needless to say, cloud was enabled by default when I reinstalled Win 10...I had some important files that were deleted off my computer because I was "nearly out of storage" but thank Bill Gates I can upgrade for 9.95/month...deleted my files...deleted them...they are gone...I should have backed up...I have in total 39tb of storage...I spent well over 10,000 between these two computers...I have never been that angry over computer stuff and I am a power user. I got ALL of my files (pictures, music, etc etc) off my Windows machine and on the other I have Mint running (as I was experimenting with Proton, got Fruity Loops to install and be stable in Wine, about 98 percent of my Steam library flies on my Linux system and I have 3.5tb in my Steam library). Until I totally migrate everything over (get Kontakt libraries to run in Wine as some people have been able to do it, or find open source alternatives like Reaper which I have ran in Windows). I will NEVER keep sensitive files on a Windows system ever again if I can avoid it. MS can kiss my ass.
Advertisements within explorer for Office 365, Cloud storage, etc etc etc.
Political messaging within my OS/web browser that I neither want nor asked for. The newsfeeds (yes I know they can be disabled, if I put over 5000 dollars into a computer, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISABLE NONSENSE LIKE THAT. I don't want to see it, I don't want to have to go out of my way to disable it, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to debate it, and that's that!
Call me paranoid...BUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT.......I uninstalled their cloud storage nonsense, that bloatware is (supposedly) no longer on my windows system...is it still running in the background without telling me? For years I would install fresh version of Windows on any computer to minimize or eliminate the bloatware. Many pieces of bloatware I needed 3rd party software to get rid of (as I never learned the Windows registry), without it, "uninstall" the bloatware, it doesn't budge. MS is locking Bios down with TPM...why wouldn't they do something shady like that? That penguin won't treat me like that, Tux is friendly (he just won't hold your hand more often than not). MS is acting like Big Brother/Apple. I'll pass.
Finally, experiencing that discovery process with a computer again that I haven't experienced in at least 20 years (despite being frustrated and sometimes inconvenienced). Learning all the cool things I can do with the command line. Finding that processes like transferring files seem to be so much faster from the command line (entering text commands I think is slower than point and click but the processes seem to be so much faster when started from command line than the gui). Besides, most of the software I use on a day to day basis is FOSS so why not take that next step if the proprietary software I run I can get to run in Linux?
The big issue for me is progams not suited to Linux, most importantly my printer, also my video editor not compatible. The other minor issue was Slimbrowser not compatible..😅
Switched to linux in 2020. The number one reason I switched was I could download a Linux iso, install it on my computer, go to RUclips and watch videos faster than windows could reboot. I use a 2013 hp upgraded from 4G ram to 8G didn’t really need to it never was an issue but blender would get a little laggy. But I run at ~350-400MB of ram at rest. So much better than windows.
All valid points.
You pretty much said it ALL-- and a WHOLE lot NICER than I would have. People ask me why I use LINUX-- and I simply reply-- because I'm NOT AN IDIOT that likes paying billionaires to stick their noses in mty business..
Can't argue with that statement.
GREAT VIDEO -- as was the 5 MYTHS of linux video too... as usual- GREAT JOB.. YOu told it ALL- very simply and frankly- with NO BS.. and a LOT nicer than i would have!!!
Thank you so much for watching. And thanks so much for all your input.
Very well done, Troy! Actually, I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the only part of GNU/Linux that's not free is the actual name "GNU/Linux". Then again, I don't remember hearing or reading about lawsuits over the "linux" trademark. I think that Intel's Clear Linux puts an "*" in it's name just to be sure LOL!!!
I would have to double check that, but I'm pretty sure you're correct. Thank you so much for watching my friend.
officially switched to linux mint beginning of this year & tbh i love every moment even when i have issues .
can autoCAD and Adobe Illustrator/photoshop work on linux? for work.
No they do not
@@eBuzzCentral :(
For me it was performance, curiosity, freedom and be able to have a Laptop with no bloat and no fan noises constantly although I was in silent mode on Windows 10 and 11
I totally understand about the fan noise, especially when it did updates I thought my laptop was going to fly off the desk. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
I have two ssd cards, one is running Windows for game development and the second one is running Mint for everything else.
Its just works on all my machines with no hassle🙂. Nice Video. Greetings from Germany.
Greetings to you sir, thank you so much for the comment and for watching the video.
90% of my PC usages is media and gaming. Why do I use windows? Because games work better and there's just more support out there as far as gaming is concerned. If you go to a dev and say hey btw this is broken help me with your game? They don't as if you're using windows or linux, they ask to make sure your Nvidia drivers are up to date they assume you're on windows. This is the biggest issue with most high end PC users, if you aren't just writing code then windows just makes sense.
❤❤❤❤❤ Supporting you
I have been wat hing these linux vids for a while not because i want to switch to linux but just to get more of an idea to what i can switch to. And the windows update one is fairly true on windows 11. I have had some sort of "monitor" update ever since i installed it and to this day i cannot actually download that update. I just get an error. It's pretty annoying when you go to settings and it just says that attention is needed and it's for something i cannot resolve
I wanted to thank you for the Anarchy review. I downloaded it and it works just fine
Awesome, glad to hear that. Keep me updated on everything. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
Most people don't care about any of those reasons. It just sounds like a saies pitch. The only times I have been able to switch people is when they are already pissed off at Windows for being a glitchy POS.
A sales pitch for something that's free?
One of your better videos. Bravo!
Thank you so much and thank you for watching the video.
Nope, until Linux has DX12 and tons of games support.
Thank you for your input and for watching the video.
Zorin OS 16 Core is a Great User Friendly and Great Looking Linux Distro ever in my opinion
Thanks for your comment and opinion. And I appreciate you watching the video.
I used it from when launched. But all the linux distros need to be more user friendly. At least make some distro very minimal only for experienced people and let some distros included all the necessary things out of the box, it may feel bloatware to you, but to vast majority this things are necessary to work without you installing anything new.
So linux needs more time, maybe a year or two to get to that level.
9:43 Yes but something to be aware of more distros are dropping 32 bit support.
But there are some solid ones out there that haven't
watching from linux mint cinnamon ,best
w10 on second ssd but dont use it anymore ,,so linux is FUTURE
also love plasma any OS with it
linux live !

Who ever said windows 11 just works must buy new computer every month because windows already said 100 times that old hardware will not run (or if you do get it to run older hardware they won't give update or support on your hardware) that still works and runs newer games very well. I would love to meet some of these people that says windows 11 just works and ask them what kind of drugs you on and why aren't you sharing?
You're exactly right
About one in 3 updates on my Fedora and also on my Garuda installs requires a restart. On a computer built in the last 10 or 15 years, 2 or 3 gigabytes RAM usage is NOTHING. Also, unused RAM is wasted RAM.
currently i dont like linux and find it hard to use but hoping this vid will change my mind
There is Linux distros that make it easy.
Owners nvidia cards: wait a minute, but... ;)
Looks like all you need is krita and obs, then you're sorted with all requirements...
Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
Linux is awesome Im using garuda linux the gaming edition
Yeah, I am switching to Linux because I always deem Linux better than Windows. All this sniffing and privacy intrusions are obnoxious. And Lutris and Proton are literally game changers, so I'm back and hopefully for the best.

Least I'm not trying to sell you something, just want you to be notified when I come out with a good informational video.
Good vid , i dont know how many times microsoft are going to polish that turd before they actually realise its still a turd .
You can't polish a turd. LOL
I'm happy running Windows 11 and see no reason to switch.
11 equals wasting money for a monopoly call Microsoft that forces you to have an OS with spyware that markets more things to waste your money. I've had installed 11 on some of my computers that kept blue screening even after installing all the drivers available and even direct from the hardware driver pages. I gave up because of those two things. There is a learning curve to linux plus finding the distro that works best for you. But other than my job I'll never use windows going forward.
Windows is much better optimized, Edge works faster than any browser.After all there is a large company behind windows and linux is open source
If that were the case, it wouldn't use 2.7 GB at rest just to be up and running. And it's kind of surprising you bring up Edge, it runs quicker in Linux than it does on its native windows. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
More ram, more cpu, more disk space, and, for example, the Witcher 3, which does not have a native Linux binary, runs faster on Linux than windows(on high end AMD gpus) . That doesn't speak optimization to me.

Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching the video.
I think a lot of your Windows stuff is pretty exaggerated, I like Linux better than Windows but I don't know what you were doing to have 19 days of downtime a year and updates taking 3-4 restarts (besides a migration/upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 for example). I just don't believe it, I left Windows for a lot of the reasons you listed but instability wasn't one of them.
While Linux servers are very stable due to simplicity and a fleet of IT staff, Desktop Linux can vary quite a bit. Depending on the distro Linux can be garbage stability wise or on par with Windows as no system works 100%, what you should of commented on is recovery time. I think Linux even from a completely borked system can recover extremely fast compared to Windows and that's pretty amazing.
EDIT: Also no support in the Windows community? While I agree some things just cannot be helped because of the closed system the Windows community forums are just as if not more friendly than the Linux community. As much as I like Linux the community it is smaller and has a good portion of elitists in it, I have been told several times to fix minor issues by just changing to a "good" distro because yours sucks or RTFM even if the documentation sometimes is not so good and they haven't even read it but don't want to help you.... I'm sure these people are in Windows too but with such a massive sea of users you more often run into people wanting to help.
I hate defending Windows but I can't just exaggerate to people about the good of Linux or the bad of Windows...

Windows 11 just works?????? Are they serious windows 11 is having far more problems then windows 10 did.
That's what I thought as well, thank you for your comment and for watching the video.
i have 1 reason to use windows you can open .exe files some guys gonna say YoU cAn OpEn whit WinE wine sucks looks bad got errors gui errors exe files are all over the internet you can find millions of software only for one task in linux youre lucky to find a deb file or find in apt
Mice to winfldows and cose ob linyx
Freedom of choice, as long as the app can run on linux or wine...
Thank you for the comment and for watching the video.
Or you're actually willing to step out of your proprietary mentality and actually try something different.practice using something different
Software dictates the platform. Fractional scaling. Gotta paint the whole picture to be fair.
I don't have an issue with scaling, what issues are you having?
Hello, sir. Some of your points are exaggerated, and a few are pure BS (you know what I mean). I experimented with Manjaro, Linux Mint, and Zorin OS for about a month.
First of all, I never needed to learn or use the command prompt on Windows, so I expected the same on the Linux terminal (oh boy, was I wrong).
I tested Linux on a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s with 8GB RAM, a third-gen i7, and an SSD, which is about 10 years old. Windows 10 ran flawlessly on it; it doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11.
You might be wondering why I wanted to try Linux. Well, it was influenced by people like YOU!
The primary issue lies with software, not the aspects you showcased in the video, like the Windows Store; I'm talking about practical software.
Consider two examples, one proprietary and the other not. For battery health while using the laptop mostly in the docking station, I relied on proprietary software called Lenovo Vantage to set a charging threshold and maintain the battery charge between 55% and 60%. Achieving this in Windows is straightforward. Another issue is that Windows 10 consumes more power than Windows Vista (which was pre-installed) and generates more heat. Strangely, the fan remains off until the CPU hits 70°C, then suddenly ramps up to 100%. To address this, I installed Notebook FanControl, and after configuring it, the CPU stayed below 60°C.
Unfortunately, the two software mentioned above have no Linux version, or at least I couldn't find one. After several days of searching, I found a solution for the battery threshold, but it lacked a graphical interface, only offering commands for the terminal. So, I ended up copy-pasting lines without understanding their implications, ultimately breaking the OS. No problem, I reinstalled.
Learning curves are abundant when dealing with Linux; I had to grasp the basics of the terminal, understand package managers, had to learn to use alternative software that I never heard of before, and much more. Need to install software not found in the software manager? You guessed it, more terminal commands.
The issue is that those familiar with Linux often don't openly discuss these challenges!
So, I invested a bit over a month, facing sheer frustration for seemingly nothing. To top it off, nearly all the Linux forums where I looked for help had people mocking me, saying things like, "You use Linux and don't know how to use the terminal? You don't know what flatpak is?" Even after explaining that I'm a Windows user attempting to switch to Linux, the mockery intensified.
Instead of excessively praising the Linux environment, let's be honest and discuss the downsides as well.
You have one more choice. If you opt for Windows you run all the professional software and no hardware or peripheral support issue. If you opt for Linux most of the hardware and your favorite accessories we not be supported specially if you switch to Linux from Windows or Mac. Because you are using "wrong" hardware & accessories.😊😆😀🤭
" most of the hardware and your favorite accessories we not be supported".
That's a an exaggeration and a VERY generalized statement.
You probably watched that video when Linus Sebastian tried Linux for the first real time with who had specific needs and her went about it the wrong way
This is 2022...not 2002. Things change.
100% agree with your video. But I am afraid casual users will never switch to linux 'cause they are just "lazy".
I truly can't argue with that, because I don't think people understand just how bloated Windows really is, how it can take a good piece of hardware, and actually slow it down. And that's not even dealing with the telemetry and spying.
I have literally no reason to use linux on desktop lol
Customization and privacy (if you REALLY care about something like this) are the only things I think linux makes better than Windows. Rest goes to Windows.
Resource usage? 2.7 GB just to on?
Constant Ads?
@@eBuzzCentral idk man, my old refurbished dell latitude e6440 runs just fine with Windows 11.
Ads? Never really saw one. Yeah there are some "preinstalled" apps (they aren't even installed, they are just a download button) and you can just remove it. I use Windows 10 / 11 since the release of 10 and only got an ad after installing windows. After the ad came one time (the one with office) it came never again.
The ads that you experience when you're in Microsoft Edge, come from you. They track everything that you go to online, they track what apps you use how you use them. If you take a look a little deeper you'll see.
@@eBuzzCentral ok, but I don't care that they use my data for ads. I prefer to see ads about things I like than seeing ads about why I will die in the next 2 weeks.
I use Microsoft edge and I love it. It's pretty much the best browser I ever used.
Well based on what you said, why do we have to see ads at all? And concerning Edge, it runs better on Linux than it does on native windows.
So one of the reason to use Linux is to be able to chanage the code in the OS, nice :) Thumbs down from me.
im allergic to windows tbh
Me too, lol.
Well, I gotta disagree with you. Windows 11 just DONT work. hahaha
You're not disagreeing with me, those were comments from people that have watched some of my videos said.
@@eBuzzCentral hahaha haven't realized that. Watched a couple of your videos, great work man!
I can't think of one reason to go back to Windows. 😁
Me neither, because I'm not a gamer, so Linux is home until they put me in the ground.
Activate Windows 11
activate win 11
ACTIVATE WIN
Terrible
