NO THANKS. I upgraded to LINUX instead and I'm no longer worried about bad updates, end-of-life bullshit, spywares, bloatware and A.I. slop. I'm happy now with my computer.
@willraziano9026 Not likely definitely happened. AI more often than not is programmed like a freshly teening kid. AKA they specialize in procrastination. They get the easy task done fast. And the actual lifting takes forever and probably never. Cause heres the shocker no IT CEO wants to hear. No real human software engineer wants to become really obsolete. Meaning? AI never was going to replace a human engineer. They gut the need for junior engineers. INSTEAD.
Short term it helps reduce the costs but then inflates the value of any engineer who's sr and project manager. Effectively permanently lodging the mid and top programmers in permanently creating also vacum. In which you need a unicorn replace them should they leave. creating the current job market.
I personally lost tons of old photos because of one drive. They deleted them from my PC, then I looked for where they went and I only found 1/4 of them on One drive, the rest were deleted because the one drive storage was full, but I have a terabyte of storage on my PC, so I don't understand why they did that.
Why tf they would think its acceptable to take my private photos and uploaded to a cloud for AI training data goes beyond me. They were probably deleted because the meta data on that other 3/4 wasnt useful to them. "another photo of human with dog, delete. Oh what's this? Human in a photo with a seimens product in the background, exploit"
OneDrive's travesty of bugs just from a brief trial run a year ago convinced me to never ever rely on it for anything. Lost data between devices, hours of non-syncing with total data less than a megabyte, and forgetting it was connected to an account at all multiple times in a day. What monstrously edge-case user behavior did I do to cause such problems, every single time I erased Windows and reinstalled to try to fix it? I started without a Microsoft account and then added it later. And then all hell broke loose, because apparently they never tested such an insane action.
Worse, its an advertisment for a subscription service. You don't have to subscribe. But you will constantly be reminded of all the junk you don't need and don't want to pay for.
MS is doing exactly as it intended to do. It's killing off Windows by monetizing it for short term revenue gain. This is deliberate! Nadella was elevated to CEO because he's a cloud guy. For him, Windows is not the center of the MS universe. Windows, as it was before Nadella ruined it, was a legacy product that is only mildly profitable, and required more resources per dollar of profit than just about any other thing Microsoft does. Quite evidently, the OS market is not even one Nadella wants to be in anymore. But MS spent decades building this huge juggernaut of a monopoly, and that asset is too valuable to give away or allow to simply wither on the vine. Monetizing Windows, including using consumers as beta testers for the benefit of enterprise users, increases the profit short term, while gradually destroying Windows itself. They are liquidating the Windows monopoly that Gates and Ballmer built. At the point that it is no longer profitable for MS to keep developing Windows, which will surely happen if MS keeps losing users, the deed will be done, and MS can cut it off completely. That, of course, will take years, as the Windows monopoly still has millions of PCs locked into the Microsoft ecosystem. We're already in year ten of this plan, and it will take quite a few more before Windows is ready to be scuttled. I have no inside knowledge, but it is the only scenario that makes sense. If there is one thing MS knows how to do, it is to maintain Windows as the center of the computing universe. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer were in agreement about this, and none of this nonsense we are seeing now with Windows would ever have happened on either of their watches. If Nadella was interested in preserving Windows, he would not be doing what he is. This is very much deliberate! There's no way that the company that was called "Micro$oft" under Bill Gates wasn't greedy enough to monetize Windows as Nadella has. There's also no way that it simply never occurred to them to do any of the things Nadella has done. Gates and Ballmer knew that crossing that line would lead to the slow, inevitable destruction of the Windows juggernaut that Gates had built, and they would not think of it. We can be certain that Nadella knows it as well, and he has been doing these things for the last ten years anyway.
@tid418 This has ALWAYS been the problem with EVERY corporation. People who have no idea how the Company runs or who its customers are. Are Hired from OUTSIDE the business and they always run the shop into the ground, burning everything for quick profits and then abandon ship before the run away bonfire bankrupts the Building!
@tid418 Well said and interesting. Crazy because Windows was seemingly there for the average joe to get things done and was family oriented. Now, not so much, unless you count the snooping into every family members files. 😢
just imagine how bad of a spot we'd be in computing in general without a Finnish student from Helsinki giving his Linux to the world. He said it himself: he could have been *the billgates of Finland*. He chose freedom, common good and sharing
@SteppeSwiftFleigen no ? they can't make a distro illegal, they just banned Russians to be directly manage the Linux source code (and i won't say if that's a good or bad choice but knowing that Linus Torvald is Finnish i get why lmao)
I was a Windows guy, my father and his father were too - all their lives. I am writing this on my Windows 10 PC. The funny part is - I'm getting a laptop for my birthday in a few days and I think I'm going for Linux on this one
@kiwi_kirsch I agree Mac is lacking in a lot of departments mainly gaming imo. I’m not a Mac user my mom has a Mac and I like it. Is it better than windows? Yes in a lot of ways integration in the ecosystem is dope. I have an iPad I game on, I can even psp remote to the iPad and play with no issues. IMO Mac’s have their value for enthusiasts and the it’s just works crowd. And thank God Apple didn’t get their ai stuff to work. It’s a blessing in disguise
@kiwi_kirsch Second worse? How? Everything that people are complaining about with Windows 11 doesn't exist on the Mac. You Apple haters are so ignorant about their products.
@kiwi_kirsch You feel insulted because I think you're ignorant about Apple's products? Damn, I think you should consider not posting in any forums if you're that sensitive to being disagreed with and criticized. The subject isn't that serious, my friend.
unless you need specialized programs for work I would highly recommend Linux ( I use mint, works perfect out of the box) I daily drive it for over 3 years now. Chatgpt etc will be able to do 100% of the stuff you need without you even understanding the terminal
Get linux for most of your personal use, online browsing...etc just for security and then get win10 for anything else you can't be doing on linux (remember that there will always be a way to do smth windows does on linux as long as it probably has nothing to do with kernel lvl)
@RicardoSantos-t4h1wSome people have very specific professional software requirements that keep them on Windows. If it still works for you and you don't mind the changes, then there's no reason to switch. I'm just very glad that Linux has come so far. Zorin OS hit a million downloads recently, and Valve has made Linux gaming a reality after decades of waiting. That's going to make the community bigger. In my case, Fedora met all my needs except for two windows-only programs that I was able to get to run in Bottles. The system Python version on Fedora 43 is Python 3.14. 😳 It's very modern in its own way.
ever since a windows update, my computer sometimes INSTANTLY crashes when opening any app, (around a 5% chance, even on apps like calculator, its just opening the apps), i literally factory reset my pc and the issue is still there after that update. I will probably swap my OS to avoid these crashes
@nissan300ztt YMMV because I haven’t had any issues playing Windows games. Granted I don’t play games with anti cheats that are basically spyware like Valorant so idc. Everything works for me. Sorry you had a rough time :/ the distro also makes a pretty big difference
I don't understand how they have managed to add like 100ms of latency on every action. Like if you just right click on the desktop, the menu doesn't appear instantly.
Actual horrifying answer is that nearly every part of the OS is a web-app now. It's like how Microsoft Office in 2010 was a fast native desktop app, but modern Office 365 is slow as hell both on desktop and on web. The reason is because the desktop and web apps are both web apps under the hood.
I specifically avoid them. I once accidentally paid for a game that employed kernel level anti-cheat, and uninstalled it and got a refund right away. And before you ask, no, I don’t cheat an online games. I don’t know how nor do I have a desire to. That said, I did own a game genie and know the Komani code.
I am still using windows 10. when it still received updates, one day out of no where my laptop bluescreaned(first time ever), it then bluescreaned once a week for like 2months, then things got worse, the whole firewall system broke, that breaking made media player and other apps break too. thank god a guy in Q&A helped me fix it. but overall it was awful experience
my mouse randomly dies too. im rocking windows 10 and the mouse is somewhat new, so i honestly have no clue if i got a bad mouse, is it windows' fault, is my mouse cable smh bad... no clue. 😪
I have Lubuntu, Nobara, TrixiPuppy and POP!_OS on my Ventoy at the moment I'm experimenting a little bit but just the experimenting is already SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun, I can literally see Billy Boy laying on the foot end of his bed crumbled together in the fetal position ... priceless
As a retired software architect, this is not going to change. They don't eat their own dogfood anymore. They don't have unit test cases. They don't exercise all the features of the OS with a large QA team. It's clear that they have the wrong culture now that they moved coding to India.
Microsoft adopted a put it out in the wild and see the end result approach for a while now. Since well before having AI code Windows. People forget that there were the same type of issues happening with Windows 10 updates because of it.
I did it few weeks before Win 10 support ended and it has been great so far. Bazzite works for me and in those months i havent had to fix anything so far. I only do updates from time to time and everything works.
yep, made a switch recently and everything is just better it only has the downside of you having to learn it and that's about it, i can just slap a virtual machine if i desperately need windows
I pulled the plug on Windows fully after the Recall Fiasco and installed Fedora KDE. After all this mess that keeps happening, I do not feel bad in my choice at all... my Steam Deck also helped push me in that direction. Just letting anyone know also someone figured out how to get modern Adobe Products working on Wine/Proton, might take a while before it gets up-streamed to out of the box however if that was your must have to switch. You can still install the patch manually for now.
macOS is BSD-based so is almost like a distro of Linux, mate. And it is even more "it just works" than Linux mint. Included software means literally no install/setup of anything at all. If you want to stop being "IT support" for non-techie family members, make 'em go to Mac.
MacOS 26 was kinda trashy but even its issues pale in comparison. If you want a laptop with good battery, you cannot really go wrong with an M series air.
@ApolloTheDerg Like a grain of sand compared to Mount Everest, mate. At some point it makes no sense to use the same word to describe such utterly different things.
@mashy712 It's not only off by default. It's literally not on the device at all. When you toggle it on, it takes a few minutes to download and install it.
I can’t even uninstall the update they silently installed in the background it just says “we ran into a problem trying to uninstall the latest quality/feature update” I’m close to switching to Linux mint
@deevnnI'm thinking about it... are all your files and everything saved on your drives unaffected? I'm guessing you'd need to reinstall any programs you use at least
My 80+ year old mom needed a new computer. I bought her a used laptop and installed linux mint. Fewer trouble shooting calls than before. Runs everything she needs. I don't need to worry about AI starting to help her suddenly with her computer. High recommendation.
Ive stuck with mint because of its stability and huge hardware support. I do lose out on a bit of performance compared to cachyOS or arch, but I almost never touch the terminal or have to think about tinkering. It just works.
My 95 year-old mom has been running Linux Mint for years. She does have issues with the system that I have to help her with, but it's almost always a case of PEBKAC. I can't imagine having to try to support her if she was trying to use dogshit like Windows 11!
I run mostly linux at my house and when my dad asked me what to do because he kept getting popups to upgrade to windows 11 but then it would fail telling him his hardware wasn't supported. Even though the hardware wasn't supported he would always get the popup. Well when microsoft dropped support we decided to move him to linux mint since he mainly uses a browser anyway. He hasn't had a single issue in the past 6 months.
Linux is actually BETTER for some people like this. My mother would click yes on anything that popped up. Still not a good idea but a lot less scary when your OS won't install every little thing under the sun.
@Darkoofthedark Yes it just work.... until it is compromised because it is no longer getting security updates. Security updates don't always matter and I have a few older machines that I use for retro gaming but if this is intended to be a machine where you connect to the internet, do banking, access your email, etc. then you had better make sure it is up to date.
Just created a boot drive for my old laptop for Zorin. In the process of backing up my emulator files to make the switch. Hopefully Linux can stay the course and be the alternative we need it to be
@talshiar80does zorin.OS run competitive games just fine? No issues with anti cheats not wanting to boot the game etc? Just curious as I’m getting a pre build in July and not sure if I want to deal with Microsoft Windows bullshit.
@A-uz8qkI think it depends on the game. For example, BF6 will not run on Linux. I'm waiting to make the switch when all games run on it because I'm tired of windows too.
Something that may have been worth mentioning is that it's not the anti cheat cannot run, developers choose to disable it. Most kernel anti-cheat (like EAC) do support Linux even in Windows formats, but Linux support is consciously disabled. I'd really love for that to be presented as what it is: not a limitation of Linux but discrimination by game developers.
What you say is true in part but the main limitation is that kernel level anti cheat cannot use proton to remap system calls because it runs in kernel mode and proton runs in user mode. This is not a failure of linux but rather of the devs who only support windows.
They choose to disable it because the Linux version is inherently "less secure". For what it is worth... Windows versions have blatant cheaters, Kernel level be damned, so why even bother?
The kicker here: Oh noes Windows is tracking everything we do so let's switch to Linux to be safe from that but… oh noes EAC tries to track everything we do and that's not working so it's "the fault of Linux" I can't game. Most will never get the irony in that. Heck most will even think that kernel level EAC really stops cheating.
@MaaZeus Its not "Less secure", its just too much different, devs dont wants to waste time to make a kernel level ac for a system that barely anyone uses, and which can be more easy to bypass since you can almost make a nuclear bomb in linux.
When those game devs will start thinking about Linux users, they will make a Linux build of their game and incorporate Linux anti cheat. So may be we need to encourage Linux developers to start more anti cheat for Linux projects, so that there would be something to choose from?
I switched BC of the January patch.. Completely Bricked and I couldn't solve it with anything. Invested like 4h. Also I couldn't even open anything besides Settings and file explorer. I tried ANYTHING I'm not going back
@intellicadeeehe instalado varias versiones de Linux y en computadoras viejas y no he tenido ningún problema, es más fácil culpar a un sistema operativo q aceptar que eres un incompetente 😂
@sleepwalker6825nah windows xp and 7 exists, 10 came close but that's about it. What do you think about the upcoming 26h2 update for 11? Is it gonna brick my pc or make it slow af?
@sleepwalker6825stop being hyperbolic. Windows hasn't been great for years now, but they didn't become THE go to PC operating system by coming out of the gate sucking at what they do
For me I couldn't even upgrade. My motherboard wasn't compatible. I wasn't going to build a whole new computer (which I used for gaming and could play on high graphics mind you) so Microsoft could put their spyware on it.
I was having problem with instaling win11 and my pc is competebol then i go to the bios to inable tpm 2.0 and then the pc is not booting at all to win 10 and it is booting and ahuting done realy fast then it burnd my motherbord and cpu and the tecnishen was abel to install win 11 but it factory reset my pc becuse my old nvme was alredy corapted now i have an hyperland ml4w distro on endever os arch that works with no problem also i instald a small parteshon of win 11 just for adobe and games like fortnite
At 13:03 you said that "Linux isn't quite there yet." regarding Kernel level anti cheats. I'd bet that Linux will NEVER "get there" until anti-cheat doesn't work in such an intrusive way. With steam batting for team penguin now, there might actually be a shot at that happening, but probably not the way you're thinking. Kernel level anti-cheat is a kindof insane solution to the problem and probably shouldn't be used on any platform IMHO.
I could live with the fact that I have some third-party program running in the background at the kernel level, at least somehow verified and licensed by Microsoft, if it were actually useful and protected against cheaters, but the reality is that these anti-cheats do not particularly prevent cheaters from cheating.
i'd rather pay $60 for my competitive shooter than get free to play malware ridden one. also, hire more moderators and ban cheaters instead of relying on your viruses
I have a theory that Microsoft is trying to power their Data Centers and Copilot using peoples at home computers running Windows, but I just can't prove it yet
Check your machine's network traffic with great intent. You can almost always tell if there are rogue communications Edit: I would but I saw this coming a mile away and have never installed it
@dbptwgI've had Crome ask me to verify I'm human because of an excessive amount t of traffic from my network. Ever since the update. No malware located.
@ku_JO_taro Actually, Linux Mint does support dGPUs, but it doesn't always enable them "out of the box" because of licensing for NVIDIA drivers or the way it handles hybrid graphics (switching between integrated and dedicated). If you want a distro with "out of the box" support, look into Bazzite, Garudo and Pop_OS! These distros have license to ship with Nvidia drivers pre-installed.
Not true!! Amd is supported nowadays. i wished people would actually give it a try instead of assuming based on old facts or stereotypes. But the truth is Linux constantly is getting updates that being pairity with windows
And people wonder why I said fuck Microslop and switched to Linux... I even gained performance in most games since I'm using an AMD GPU.... suck it winblows I'm never going back
At some point im wondering how many people went with Penguin since Win 11 released and started releasing broken updates and "features". I moved away from Windows few weeks before Win 10 support ended and so far it has been great. Im definetly here to stay.
@Doctor_Technopolis I only use it right now (dualboot) because I am too lazy to figure out why pop_os doesnt play audio over headphones. maybe next weekend 😂
I wanted to try an AMD but they only sell 90% NVidia and 3% AMD at a higher price. The rest is Intel and I have no idea what kind of brand Graphics Card is and I'm not risking it.
I made the switch a couple of weeks ago. I refuse to have spyware on my system. I also refuse to have malware running each time I play certain games with "anti cheat". It's not safe.
@lenzielenski3276it's not as bad as being baked into the system itself. I might just install GrapheneOS at some point and run my apps in a sandbox environment.
@shadow49681my TV isn't connected to the internet. I have an LG who is currently part of a class action lawsuit alongside Samsung and Hisense because they literally take screenshots every second and send that data back to their servers. I've also been using a VPN for about 2 years now.
Microsoft suffered the second largest loss of stock value of any company in world history, in a single day last week. That's right, $400 billion dollars in shareholder value went right down the 🚽
Still not enough. As a former IT system administrator, I'm quite sure they are responsible for cutting off some years of my lifespan because of how bad their software actually was and is, and it is only getting worse (which is why I stopped doing both Unix/Linux and Windows system administration over 15 years ago already, and concentrated on Unix/Linux. You know, I like things which *stay fixed* once I have fixed them. Something which was definitely *not* the case with Windows, where quite often the next update reintroduced the same bugs (or new, similar, ones) again.
@IgorRockt It's just really really bad. Like flying in the face of good engineering. I think they made the rule "if it ain't broke don't fix it" in 4000 BC and the company founded by the drop-out didn't even learn that principle.
@ElvisB.I'm in the same boat. I'm torn between Ubuntu as I've already used it, and pop! os, as it seems to fit my needs, orat least the description does
I'm going through some c*** right now. With my laptop, I haven't used it in two months, but it's auto updated.And it keeps asking for my bit locker recovery key.I've gotten it from microsoft.Put it in blue screen twenty minutes later.Again asking for the same thing
can someone see microslop stock market now??? Did we make them listen that we don't want copilot, onedrive or any bloatware microslop want us to uses???
Onedrive has it's place, when you don't have portable Hard drives. It's usually not for your avarage consumer on any daily basis, heck even as an office worker you will only ever use Onedrive in case your Laptop needs replacing. No, Onedrive is Literally always used to gain your data, be it your employer when you leave or get fired, or whoever legal entity comes knocking, worst case it's sold to marketing or train their AI slop without the decency to ask for consent. Any of these 'features' should be Opt-in if Microsoft had anyone decent leading at the helm, it would give them a heck of alot more feedback of what their consumer base wants instead of whoever they are listening to now.
Today i uninstalled windows 11 due to being unstable after updating and got worse reverting the update, constant wifi being disconnected, USB being unplugged randomly and if left the pc idle for more than 10 mins it automatically reboot the pc , making me loose much progress, got a USB put steamOS, EVERYTHING IN MY PC WAS WORKING FLAWLESSLY, couple min setting up accounts, discord , chrome and wifi password and no issues, everything out of the box
Today, after win 11 update, it automatically installed "Bitlocker", now my laptop doesn't boot, with no key in microsoft account, even reset is not working and I am locked out.
I had some access nonsense I had to go rooting around in the registry for, it disabled WiFi connection on my laptop altogether and refused to connect to the internet with an ethernet cable too
Same thing happened to me 2 months ago, and guess what, the keys on the microsoft account that were supposed to work actually didnt, it'd freeze and do nothing. Im on linux now (been planning the switch regardless), but this event had sped up my switch by around 2 months...
Honestly that has been my pov too since i moved to Linux few months ago. Bazzite is great for me and every news about Windows makes me more glad i did it. Although i cant play some games i used to, i do not miss Windows at all and im thinking of ways to upgrade others around here to Linux aswell. Most dont need software that only runs on Windows or dont play games like Battlefield 6 or similar that dont run on Linux so they have no excuse of staying with broken stuff that MS poops out these days.
@redwoodimage At this point anything is better than Windows 11. I wouldn't recommend Debian to new users though, its stability can cause quite a few problems when you are on newer hardware or need newer versions of applications and libraries and trying to install those outside the debian repository is what usually breaks it.
@Erdnusschokolade yep for newer hardware distro like based on debian is bad option because they use old lts kernel which often lack of drivers for newer hardware i will suggest them to use fedora or arch based distro or Bazzite.
Fedora user here. We are also the testers for Red Hat. But I actually can decide when I want the updates they publish. And usually, nothing breaks. Or just a tiny bit that can be restored.
And everything is in configuration files that you can tweak in the console. Not "The Registry" which is a database requiring a custom tool. Just something you edit with a text editor. You can even get source code to most of what you run on Linux if you really want it.
@michaelmurphree593 Depends on distro - in some case you can get pretty much ALL of the source code (on Debian for example the only thing I didn't get source for were nvidia drivers)
Imagine defiling Notepad by integrating with Copilot. Notepad used to be the simplest application there was, taking just a few kilobytes. This feels like defecating on a cathedral and calling it an improvement.
Ooo! I have a Windows update horror story! Last summer, I did something called CBE, which is where you take an exam in the summer, and based on your score, you can get Texas high school credit. I was taking a test to CBE Biology, and basically, 3 minutes before I finished the test, windows updated, and shut down my computer. Thankfully, I had gotten enough questions right by that point to pass, and still get credit, but it forced my computer to submit it!!!!
@Seargoth You must be young to be so ignorant. They do this on purpose. How else do you test against millions of hardware/software combinations? Early adopters are their unpaid and unappreciated beta army. Fact: they also have an unpaid Alpha army, but you actually have to sign up for that one. They're taking advantage of human nature that wants the biggest and best, hence the toggles for 'get it fastest' and 'delay it' so everyone can figure out what's most important to them, the shiny new or the old reliable. And they learned this from Apple. Mac users have been trained so that now every time there's an OS update, they have to go and update every single other app and driver. They pioneered the zero day rush to upgrade, then sat back and watched it break, forcing software companies to scramble around to come with updates so things would work again. They've been doing this for decades so that their users just think of it as normal. If you were around for the first releases of OS-X you'd have seen it yourself. Linux is the same, EVERYONE is a beta tester, or potentially so, hence the "long term support" vs the "nightly release" and "weekly update". Same shit, different label, same outcome. Its not an excuse, don't pick a rose and be surprised when you prick your finger.
i never got any of these problem using window 11 25H2 even without tweaking windows like using windebloater etc. I'm using it from 24H2 to 25H2 i haven't gotten any issues from using it, maybe because it's user error?
My laptop bricked after an update andmhad to install it again, so i installed cachyOS. When I saw that it was good after two weeks of use, I installed it in my desktop.
kinda did the same thing with my rog ally and my desktop.. First i tried bazzite on my ally. Saw it was good then installed cachyos on my desktop. And that was 5 months ago
I've literally been setting up my computer with dual boot this weekend to see if it works for my dev and gaming needs, lol. I landed on Mint Cinnamon and so far so good! (though not amazing running it off a USB stick)
@ZeEpicOfficial Oh yeah, almost any Live Service game, but if you don't like giving Kernel level access away for an anti-cheat, you probably weren't playing those already anyway...
@valt1337 Don't blame Linux for that, the games will run, The anticheats just auto kick you from MP lobbies. That is an Issue with the coding of the Kernel level anticheats. Easy anticheat being probably the biggest offender. If Epic would support Linux Users Like Valve, this issue could be easily solved, but they don't. If they worked to get the anticheat for Fortnite to stop kicking Linux users it would be a watershed moment for Linux gaming. That being said there are Anti cheats that don't discriminate against the penguin. Nextgaurd anticheat which runs on Helldivers for instance, isn't an issue. And as someone that dual boots, Helldivers runs better in Bazzite than windows 11 on my hardware (Ryzen 5 7600x cpu, AMD RX 6700XT GPU).
I installed windows 11 roughly 4 months after release and hadn't had any major issues until yesterday, my pc would boot into windows for couple of seconds and BSOD with a different message each time, i also no longer have windows 11 activated for some reason.. maybe just another flaw in these latest updates, anyways i fresh installed windows 11 via USB thumb drive and had continuous BSOD's yet again but turns out that the 24H2 completely bricked my WD Blue SSD so now i gotta buy a new SSD and probably wait until these issues are resolved
I'm one of those exploring Linux. Giving my customers options for it, and trying to convert my systems, but damn, i got to many systems doing specific things.
True, Zorin OS is great for daily use (my kids use it for school work). I also know a few sys-admins that use Zorin OS because they can use ActiveDirectory with it.
My computer at one point tried to auto-update to win11. I forced revert back to win10 and disable the TPM in bios so that the win11 installer would fail to work.
i disabled updates in command settings so my pc wouldnt auto install win11. i dont plan on switching off win10 for a while and i have the feeling that at this rate microsoft might throw away win11 completely and go back to making win10 updates.
One of my windows 11 did boot in safe mode and I use a PIN code, but it did not work in safe mode, I was forced to use a cmd command to force windows Normal boot, as it was PIN code or try again
About the anti cheat thing, its not that "linux isnt there yet", those games have intentionally blocked proton, its a volume thing. The more players get into Linux the more pressure there is going to be support it. Also there are a few high profile games that are already support it, Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders work. You can easily check any game in the proton database site The steam deck has already pushed a lot, i can only see a bright future as desktops also start moving into linux.
The anti-cheat makers support Linux out of the box these days. The developers know this and don't have to do anything to enable whichever one they choose to do so.
A good Example is Rust by Facepunch, they allowed Linux users to run their game and AC but saw a spike in cheaters and reverted, now they have no plans to allow it again until there is a larger user base wanting to play on Linux ( i count myself among the linux crowd) as of right now i have a windows 11 install as a boot option just for games like that but hate using it....
I’m just waiting until the Devs for Apex turn back support for Linux (they originally canned it because of hackers and cheaters coming in from the Linux side)
Happen to me yesterday, they messed up my windows pin, ask me to reset on opening screen but the popup didn't load anything except error message saying I don't have internet connection wtf, I'm basically soft lock from my account, the only way I could get it run again is by reinstall windows using my usb drive, I'm totally sick of this garbage what if it happen to my company laptop or something.
Entire governments are switching to Linux now, I think Germany is doing this. Corporations are suffering all kinds of trouble because of Microsoft's implosion of sanity.
I maybe the lucky few who PC doesn’t break after an update, usually I just don’t even update it when it wants too, I just wait and wait and my PC, the only weird thing that happens is that it auto restarts by itself.
12:11 *As a Linux user of over 15 years, my daily driver is Linux Mint MATE and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect mix of performance, aesthetics, support, and reliability.* It's genuinely hard to compete with.
Support? Who do you call, Ghostbusters 'cause there's no help line for Linux. You sure the heck aren't getting into a forum and hoping for the best if your computer won't boot.
@lenzielenski3276 That's extremely rare on Linux. I've been running Linux for 20+ years and never had a no boot issue on any distro. Sure, things weren't all great in the early days, but modern distros just work. Just don't make Arch your first choice.
My pc started to freeze after 30min and now even less. I checked all the bios updates, driver updates, and even ran diagnostics on my Ram sticks and found no issues. This all happened after all the new updates on Windows. I can’t even do basic browsing anymore.
Buying a Steam Deck is what did it for me. I'm a sick Starcraft 2 junky and found that the middle mouse scroll bug didn't exist on the deck. I replaced Windows 10 on my pc with Bazzite, and I've never seen sc2 run so smooth. Setting the keyboard repeat rate was trivial, like a normal setting, unlike Windows where you have to edit the registry. I got better at the game overnight. It's pretty silly that I didn't even know how bad Windows was holding me back for so long.
I have a decent PC (4080 S, i9 ultra, ddr5), and I was surprised that Oblivion Remaster and most Steam games RUN BETTER ON LINUX than Windows. There's no reason to stay on Windows, for any reason. Linux has everything you need. Great Photoshop equivalent. Video editing and DaVinci Resolve runs on it. Libre Office. FreeCAD.
I moved to linux almost like a year ago and never looked back, i ended up deleting the windows partition because just for not using it it broke itself multiple times i don't know why lol.
I didn't even bother with the partition option, I just clicked erase disk for clean Linux mint install. I have so much space on my hard drive now after trimming the fat.
EVERY modern linux kernel is for gaming. Its was never about the distro. Its just the interface. The look and feel. Has nothing to do with drivers or performance.
i havent updated i tried windows 11, when it 1st came on and it would not run at all on a newly built pc it was really frustrating, i tried it a few other times and it was same thing, freezing blue screens, slow laggy and headaces.
And you're supposed to be Microsoft's fault because you're too stupid to assemble a computer? Strangely enough, my new computer works perfectly!? The last bluescreen i saw 15 years ago!
fix is not the right word. Most game studios don't bother with linux because kernel level anti cheat won't work on linux and more importantly the linux gaming market is way too small. If people want their favorite game running on linux, then install linux and play games that work on linux (which is almost all of them). If the linux market grows, then they will "fix" the anti cheat.
@Adesterr Some companies go out of their way to make their games not work with linux like Fortnite which had linux support then dropped it most likely to try and affect the success of steam os and linux gaming.
im curious about linux after hearing about it over and over again but im staying on win 10 for the time being im predicting if microsoft loses users to linux they might get thier act together scrap win 11 and come out with a stable os and call it win 12 and stop pushing stuff on ppl that dont want it give ppl choices thats why their using pc's to begin with ♦
Sold. Fantastic video; I'm starting on putting together my first gaming pc build tonight, and I'd already been thinking about making that my Linux test platform. This confirmed it.
META PCS - Custom gaming PCs, workstations & home builds with lifetime US-based support. 🎮 bit.ly/3Mb4yVg
What in the linux moment LTT ON BOTTOM jkjk
zack can you give linux distros with ur builds instead of windows pls
Multi thumbnail video LOL
Can we have a CachyOS option for prebuilts? Lol
@MarkMann1Yes, working on this currently to make it easy for folks. Thank you for the feedback!
2015: Upgrade to Windows 10!
2026: Upgrade to Windows 10!
*Downgrade* to Windows 10.
@RinaldoJonathanwin 11 shittier than win10 so basically its upgrade 😂
@RinaldoJonathan its not even downgrade or upgrade.. win11 is based of win10.. win11 is basically win10 but filled with ads and ai
@nzs292we devolving fr
NO THANKS. I upgraded to LINUX instead and I'm no longer worried about bad updates, end-of-life bullshit, spywares, bloatware and A.I. slop. I'm happy now with my computer.
Microslop made the best advertisement Linux ever needed
ditto
Just like the TikTok app uninstalled
I made the switch last year because of this. I'm 2 programs from completely leaving Windows.
We need something better then both .Linux has come a long way but it still moving at a snails pace.
They Slooopaganda
It's almost like those mass layoffs in 2024 to "replace with AI" totally backfired.
This is most likely how the issues came about...
@willraziano9026 Not likely definitely happened. AI more often than not is programmed like a freshly teening kid. AKA they specialize in procrastination. They get the easy task done fast. And the actual lifting takes forever and probably never. Cause heres the shocker no IT CEO wants to hear. No real human software engineer wants to become really obsolete. Meaning? AI never was going to replace a human engineer. They gut the need for junior engineers. INSTEAD.
Short term it helps reduce the costs but then inflates the value of any engineer who's sr and project manager. Effectively permanently lodging the mid and top programmers in permanently creating also vacum. In which you need a unicorn replace them should they leave. creating the current job market.
they defo caused issues but let's not forget windows has been on a decline for over 10 years!
Or replacing the existing code by remaking it in Rust just because
I personally lost tons of old photos because of one drive. They deleted them from my PC, then I looked for where they went and I only found 1/4 of them on One drive, the rest were deleted because the one drive storage was full, but I have a terabyte of storage on my PC, so I don't understand why they did that.
Why tf they would think its acceptable to take my private photos and uploaded to a cloud for AI training data goes beyond me. They were probably deleted because the meta data on that other 3/4 wasnt useful to them.
"another photo of human with dog, delete.
Oh what's this? Human in a photo with a seimens product in the background, exploit"
i just uninstalled it.
OneDrive's travesty of bugs just from a brief trial run a year ago convinced me to never ever rely on it for anything. Lost data between devices, hours of non-syncing with total data less than a megabyte, and forgetting it was connected to an account at all multiple times in a day.
What monstrously edge-case user behavior did I do to cause such problems, every single time I erased Windows and reinstalled to try to fix it?
I started without a Microsoft account and then added it later. And then all hell broke loose, because apparently they never tested such an insane action.
Man i always was a cloud hater. Uninstall it and make physicall backups in a separate ssd/hdd.
Bro, you didn't store multiples in separate hard zrive or something?
Windows is not an OS anymore, instead it became a subscription service .
Worse, its an advertisment for a subscription service. You don't have to subscribe. But you will constantly be reminded of all the junk you don't need and don't want to pay for.
correct.. os should not this broken.
What? That makes no sense. Buy once pay again never. The opposite of a subscription. Now the data collection...
We need a SimpleOS without bloatware that microslop tries to put in every semester
more like an ai SLOP pipeline directly into your soul 😂
Microslop is now making Boeing look like a well oiled machine..
MS is doing exactly as it intended to do. It's killing off Windows by monetizing it for short term revenue gain. This is deliberate!
Nadella was elevated to CEO because he's a cloud guy. For him, Windows is not the center of the MS universe. Windows, as it was before Nadella ruined it, was a legacy product that is only mildly profitable, and required more resources per dollar of profit than just about any other thing Microsoft does.
Quite evidently, the OS market is not even one Nadella wants to be in anymore. But MS spent decades building this huge juggernaut of a monopoly, and that asset is too valuable to give away or allow to simply wither on the vine. Monetizing Windows, including using consumers as beta testers for the benefit of enterprise users, increases the profit short term, while gradually destroying Windows itself. They are liquidating the Windows monopoly that Gates and Ballmer built.
At the point that it is no longer profitable for MS to keep developing Windows, which will surely happen if MS keeps losing users, the deed will be done, and MS can cut it off completely. That, of course, will take years, as the Windows monopoly still has millions of PCs locked into the Microsoft ecosystem. We're already in year ten of this plan, and it will take quite a few more before Windows is ready to be scuttled.
I have no inside knowledge, but it is the only scenario that makes sense. If there is one thing MS knows how to do, it is to maintain Windows as the center of the computing universe. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer were in agreement about this, and none of this nonsense we are seeing now with Windows would ever have happened on either of their watches.
If Nadella was interested in preserving Windows, he would not be doing what he is. This is very much deliberate!
There's no way that the company that was called "Micro$oft" under Bill Gates wasn't greedy enough to monetize Windows as Nadella has. There's also no way that it simply never occurred to them to do any of the things Nadella has done. Gates and Ballmer knew that crossing that line would lead to the slow, inevitable destruction of the Windows juggernaut that Gates had built, and they would not think of it. We can be certain that Nadella knows it as well, and he has been doing these things for the last ten years anyway.
Boeing were always Saints when compaired to Hacrosoft!
@tid418 This has ALWAYS been the problem with EVERY corporation. People who have no idea how the Company runs or who its customers are. Are Hired from OUTSIDE the business and they always run the shop into the ground, burning everything for quick profits and then abandon ship before the run away bonfire bankrupts the Building!
Boeing must be running Microslop. Bad update made door fell off 🤷♂️
@tid418 Well said and interesting. Crazy because Windows was seemingly there for the average joe to get things done and was family oriented. Now, not so much, unless you count the snooping into every family members files. 😢
just imagine how bad of a spot we'd be in computing in general without a Finnish student from Helsinki giving his Linux to the world. He said it himself: he could have been *the billgates of Finland*. He chose freedom, common good and sharing
He's a Nazi and a businessman. He's a liar and a scoundrel. The freedom on Linux is that it is free from all full-fledged programs.
A true legend.
Typing this on my 3rd PC "Upgraded" from win 11 to Linux mint btw. 😎
Wasn't this some kind of "winter holiday project"?!
Wild story, the man's a hero.
Believe it, they already banned and called illigal all russian distros, all of them.
@SteppeSwiftFleigen no ? they can't make a distro illegal, they just banned Russians to be directly manage the Linux source code (and i won't say if that's a good or bad choice but knowing that Linus Torvald is Finnish i get why lmao)
I was a Windows guy, my father and his father were too - all their lives. I am writing this on my Windows 10 PC. The funny part is - I'm getting a laptop for my birthday in a few days and I think I'm going for Linux on this one
There updates the entire image wich is genius
Why not Mac?
@kiwi_kirsch I agree Mac is lacking in a lot of departments mainly gaming imo. I’m not a Mac user my mom has a Mac and I like it. Is it better than windows? Yes in a lot of ways integration in the ecosystem is dope. I have an iPad I game on, I can even psp remote to the iPad and play with no issues. IMO Mac’s have their value for enthusiasts and the it’s just works crowd. And thank God Apple didn’t get their ai stuff to work. It’s a blessing in disguise
@kiwi_kirsch
Second worse? How? Everything that people are complaining about with Windows 11 doesn't exist on the Mac. You Apple haters are so ignorant about their products.
@kiwi_kirsch
You feel insulted because I think you're ignorant about Apple's products? Damn, I think you should consider not posting in any forums if you're that sensitive to being disagreed with and criticized. The subject isn't that serious, my friend.
imagine using ai to write code for the worlds most used os
They need ai to code the indian it experts bought their diplomas .
We don't have to imagine
Using AI is not bad; it is the way they use it that is bad. AI is a tool but unfortunately they think otherwise
*Desktop*
World's most used consumer OS is Android with more than 50% marketshare😅
It runs on an opensource base AOSP on top of the Linux Kernel
micosoft push through AI integration but end up breaking more simple features
I'm thinking of upgrading my laptop from win 11 to win 10 atp
the best update that u can get in 2026 💀
unless you need specialized programs for work I would highly recommend Linux ( I use mint, works perfect out of the box) I daily drive it for over 3 years now. Chatgpt etc will be able to do 100% of the stuff you need without you even understanding the terminal
Get linux for most of your personal use, online browsing...etc just for security and then get win10 for anything else you can't be doing on linux (remember that there will always be a way to do smth windows does on linux as long as it probably has nothing to do with kernel lvl)
time has come when previous os feels like an upgrade
Actual way of downloading more RAM
I must have updated Windows too aggressively because now it says "Fedora 43" when I boot up my computer.
my PC says CachyOS. Hope you're enjoying your PC more now without Windows, as I do with my PC.
@akira_kei_: Ha ha - just as my computer. 😀
The only downside I've found is that I should have done it sooner. 😉
Mine say Win 11 and am happy with it. Guess what, everything works and EVERY SOFTWARE company ensure my OS gets supported FIRST. exactly what i need.
@RicardoSantos-t4h1wSome people have very specific professional software requirements that keep them on Windows. If it still works for you and you don't mind the changes, then there's no reason to switch. I'm just very glad that Linux has come so far. Zorin OS hit a million downloads recently, and Valve has made Linux gaming a reality after decades of waiting. That's going to make the community bigger. In my case, Fedora met all my needs except for two windows-only programs that I was able to get to run in Bottles. The system Python version on Fedora 43 is Python 3.14. 😳 It's very modern in its own way.
Word
ever since a windows update, my computer sometimes INSTANTLY crashes when opening any app, (around a 5% chance, even on apps like calculator, its just opening the apps), i literally factory reset my pc and the issue is still there after that update. I will probably swap my OS to avoid these crashes
Fuck Microslop. Embrace the penguin 🐧
It doesnt work for Gamers. Ive tried. About 20 different programs wont work with Linux and there is no workaround and many want stuff to just work.
@nissan300ztt YMMV because I haven’t had any issues playing Windows games. Granted I don’t play games with anti cheats that are basically spyware like Valorant so idc. Everything works for me. Sorry you had a rough time :/ the distro also makes a pretty big difference
@nissan300ztt Things have changed since 30 years ago, give it another chance.
@waltz9230cant play warthunder, bf6, dcs world or pga golf 23 or any of the F1 games on Linux. They just wont work.
@ClariNerd Cool. Try running Sound Forge 6 on it.
I don't understand how they have managed to add like 100ms of latency on every action.
Like if you just right click on the desktop, the menu doesn't appear instantly.
It's the response time to the FBI/CIA server.
I'm on Windows 11, and I agree.
I am going back to Windows 10
because they are recording every single action that you do and sending them to israel
Actual horrifying answer is that nearly every part of the OS is a web-app now. It's like how Microsoft Office in 2010 was a fast native desktop app, but modern Office 365 is slow as hell both on desktop and on web. The reason is because the desktop and web apps are both web apps under the hood.
You need to tweak some things, cause here I have no latency.
I DO NOT want Kernel level anti cheat.
facts I don't want malware rooted into my kernel cuz my privacy is more important than some trash multiplayer game
Decide: Do you rather want Kernel level anti cheat or anticheat that runs even before the bootloader (the program that loads the kernel) is there?
I specifically avoid them. I once accidentally paid for a game that employed kernel level anti-cheat, and uninstalled it and got a refund right away. And before you ask, no, I don’t cheat an online games. I don’t know how nor do I have a desire to. That said, I did own a game genie and know the Komani code.
@andrewsm00 Cheating in the single player games is like incapable play a chess alone, or cheating when playing solitaire etc...
Also I used the login trick
My beefstation is using local user account
I am NOT upgrading from Windows 10 to 11 any time soon 😭
Windows literally made my mouse stop working after an update one time
Mine doesnt work for 10 minutes after startup
They turned off my sound and forced me to update to turn it back on.
I am still using windows 10. when it still received updates, one day out of no where my laptop bluescreaned(first time ever), it then bluescreaned once a week for like 2months, then things got worse, the whole firewall system broke, that breaking made media player and other apps break too. thank god a guy in Q&A helped me fix it. but overall it was awful experience
me too!
my mouse randomly dies too. im rocking windows 10 and the mouse is somewhat new, so i honestly have no clue if i got a bad mouse, is it windows' fault, is my mouse cable smh bad... no clue. 😪
The 🐧 is calling
I use mint btw
fedora kde btw needs configuring but then its reliable
I use CachyOS btw
(why the hell did the same comment that came a little bit later than me get more likes? wth)
What version of Linux would you recommend that plays best with an Nvidia GPU and online gaming?
@PARTYN 1+. Even as a novice to the linux / Arch system, Cachy was overall the one I Liked the most
Installed linux Mint to dual boot with windows. Hardly boot with windows anymore.
I am downloading an ISO for linux right now. Its time to leave. Part of me misses 3.11.
@spacedwarfbrewing2385 my first windows was 3.11 in 1993
Booted win 11 from the dual boot to verify these things today after like a month lol ...am questioning why I have spared that space for win 11 lol
I have Lubuntu, Nobara, TrixiPuppy and POP!_OS on my Ventoy
at the moment I'm experimenting a little bit
but just the experimenting is already SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun, I can literally see Billy Boy laying on the foot end of his bed crumbled together in the fetal position ... priceless
How!? I migrated to Mint recently. At least half of the apps I use won't run on Linux, Wine is incredibly unstable.
Every time I get an update, something in my computer starts crashing, and the event viewer
Because now you’re the QA team for Microsoft.
Linus Torvalds isn't in the files... Glad I'm on Mint.
Best argument for why linux and mac is better than windows
@monoid3767 as someone who just switched to an M4 mac mini, i agree
😂
Hell yeah, makes me even more happy that I use Linux. Never trust big corporates. F*ck Microslop and Bill Gates.
Just hope ICE doesn't run off with him and lock him up - he's after all a foreigner in the USA 8)
Microsoft actively demonstrates why vibe coding an OS plus not testing the code is a bad idea.
Microslop*
As a retired software architect, this is not going to change. They don't eat their own dogfood anymore. They don't have unit test cases. They don't exercise all the features of the OS with a large QA team. It's clear that they have the wrong culture now that they moved coding to India.
Plus they just want your information for free. Honestly you should get paid a royalty for automatic advertisement mining.
Microsoft adopted a put it out in the wild and see the end result approach for a while now. Since well before having AI code Windows. People forget that there were the same type of issues happening with Windows 10 updates because of it.
It's not an OS but a US (Unoperating system).
my face knowing i switched to linux 2 months before this
Yep I think its time for me now.
I did it few weeks before Win 10 support ended and it has been great so far. Bazzite works for me and in those months i havent had to fix anything so far. I only do updates from time to time and everything works.
yep, made a switch recently and everything is just better
it only has the downside of you having to learn it and that's about it, i can just slap a virtual machine if i desperately need windows
@lool8421 yeahhh annoying at the start but it gets better
I pulled the plug on Windows fully after the Recall Fiasco and installed Fedora KDE. After all this mess that keeps happening, I do not feel bad in my choice at all... my Steam Deck also helped push me in that direction. Just letting anyone know also someone figured out how to get modern Adobe Products working on Wine/Proton, might take a while before it gets up-streamed to out of the box however if that was your must have to switch. You can still install the patch manually for now.
it messed up my laptop, had to reset to previews update to work. just kept crashing and saying it keeps running into problems.
5:33 At this point, I ain't even gonna stop my uncle from switching to MacOS
macOS is BSD-based so is almost like a distro of Linux, mate. And it is even more "it just works" than Linux mint. Included software means literally no install/setup of anything at all. If you want to stop being "IT support" for non-techie family members, make 'em go to Mac.
MacOS 26 was kinda trashy but even its issues pale in comparison. If you want a laptop with good battery, you cannot really go wrong with an M series air.
@ApolloTheDerg Like a grain of sand compared to Mount Everest, mate. At some point it makes no sense to use the same word to describe such utterly different things.
Even though Apple has AI at least they have an option to easily toggle it off and on. (Apple Intelligence.)
@mashy712 It's not only off by default. It's literally not on the device at all. When you toggle it on, it takes a few minutes to download and install it.
I have a windows 11 horror story...
On a cold winter morning, I turned on the pc and found...... a login prompt for MS account
your pc is infected with win11
Dear God!
@apj501st
"But wait there's more!"
You need internet connection to activate your windows account
What about the children ?!?!
NOOOOOOoooooooo.....
I can’t even uninstall the update they silently installed in the background it just says “we ran into a problem trying to uninstall the latest quality/feature update” I’m close to switching to Linux mint
In the words of emperor Palpatine … “Do it”
Just do it...I did and have no regrets.
Do it.
Do it.
Do it.
Do it.
Do it.
The 🐧 calls.
The 🐧 calls.
The 🐧 calls.
The 🐧 calls.
The 🐧 calls.
Idk what you’re waiting for just do it.
@deevnnI'm thinking about it... are all your files and everything saved on your drives unaffected? I'm guessing you'd need to reinstall any programs you use at least
Does this mean if you have a local account only, they don't have your bitlocker key(s)?
Smart.
@aaron1983
Yeah... then again, it may not make a difference. It might still send any password(s) you make straight to them.
My 80+ year old mom needed a new computer. I bought her a used laptop and installed linux mint. Fewer trouble shooting calls than before. Runs everything she needs. I don't need to worry about AI starting to help her suddenly with her computer. High recommendation.
Mint is a solid choice
I've always thought Mint was about the easiest OS to use for people who just need a web browser and some basic apps.
Easy since the only thing she needs is a browser. Could have just bought a Chromebook.
Ive stuck with mint because of its stability and huge hardware support. I do lose out on a bit of performance compared to cachyOS or arch, but I almost never touch the terminal or have to think about tinkering. It just works.
My 95 year-old mom has been running Linux Mint for years. She does have issues with the system that I have to help her with, but it's almost always a case of PEBKAC. I can't imagine having to try to support her if she was trying to use dogshit like Windows 11!
I run mostly linux at my house and when my dad asked me what to do because he kept getting popups to upgrade to windows 11 but then it would fail telling him his hardware wasn't supported. Even though the hardware wasn't supported he would always get the popup. Well when microsoft dropped support we decided to move him to linux mint since he mainly uses a browser anyway. He hasn't had a single issue in the past 6 months.
Linux is actually BETTER for some people like this. My mother would click yes on anything that popped up. Still not a good idea but a lot less scary when your OS won't install every little thing under the sun.
who the fuck cares about "microsoft dropped support". you don't need support. It just still works.
@Darkoofthedarkhow would his boomer dad know that if he keeps getting popups?
@Darkoofthedark Yes it just work.... until it is compromised because it is no longer getting security updates. Security updates don't always matter and I have a few older machines that I use for retro gaming but if this is intended to be a machine where you connect to the internet, do banking, access your email, etc. then you had better make sure it is up to date.
I just switched to Zorin OS and my system hasn't run this well ever with Windows and I can still play all of my Steam games.
Exactly the same for me; Zorin has been (so far), a smooth & flawless transition. Everything I want to work, does.
Just created a boot drive for my old laptop for Zorin. In the process of backing up my emulator files to make the switch. Hopefully Linux can stay the course and be the alternative we need it to be
@talshiar80does zorin.OS run competitive games just fine? No issues with anti cheats not wanting to boot the game etc? Just curious as I’m getting a pre build in July and not sure if I want to deal with Microsoft Windows bullshit.
Same vibe here but using bazzite instead of zorin, steam games run fine.
@A-uz8qkI think it depends on the game. For example, BF6 will not run on Linux. I'm waiting to make the switch when all games run on it because I'm tired of windows too.
I lost all my data and my laptop now seeing only blue screen forgot to turn off updates😢
Note : Abode Apps are slowly starting to work on linux
How have people not canceled that $#!7 by now?
@aiodensghost It's like asking a legless man to walk. They need their crutches.
Adope is as bad as microslop
@aiodensghostThey're still one of the best unfortunately.
@Tiralfulbecause they patent features. It's illegal for other companies to use them.
Something that may have been worth mentioning is that it's not the anti cheat cannot run, developers choose to disable it.
Most kernel anti-cheat (like EAC) do support Linux even in Windows formats, but Linux support is consciously disabled. I'd really love for that to be presented as what it is: not a limitation of Linux but discrimination by game developers.
What you say is true in part but the main limitation is that kernel level anti cheat cannot use proton to remap system calls because it runs in kernel mode and proton runs in user mode. This is not a failure of linux but rather of the devs who only support windows.
They choose to disable it because the Linux version is inherently "less secure". For what it is worth... Windows versions have blatant cheaters, Kernel level be damned, so why even bother?
The kicker here: Oh noes Windows is tracking everything we do so let's switch to Linux to be safe from that but… oh noes EAC tries to track everything we do and that's not working so it's "the fault of Linux" I can't game.
Most will never get the irony in that.
Heck most will even think that kernel level EAC really stops cheating.
@MaaZeus Its not "Less secure", its just too much different, devs dont wants to waste time to make a kernel level ac for a system that barely anyone uses, and which can be more easy to bypass since you can almost make a nuclear bomb in linux.
When those game devs will start thinking about Linux users, they will make a Linux build of their game and incorporate Linux anti cheat. So may be we need to encourage Linux developers to start more anti cheat for Linux projects, so that there would be something to choose from?
I switched BC of the January patch..
Completely Bricked and I couldn't solve it with anything. Invested like 4h.
Also I couldn't even open anything besides Settings and file explorer.
I tried ANYTHING
I'm not going back
Welcome to linux
Yeah, use that “operating system”. I’ll have a social life when you’re trying to fix your damn audio.
@intellicadeee I use Linux never once did my audio break
@intellicadeeehe instalado varias versiones de Linux y en computadoras viejas y no he tenido ningún problema, es más fácil culpar a un sistema operativo q aceptar que eres un incompetente 😂
@intellicadeee pipewire:
Chris Titus Tech tool does some surface level debloat and can uninstall one drive and disable telemetry with user friendly UI.
Oh man microsoft this is a new low
you forgot to call them microslop
Microsoft never had Highs
@sleepwalker6825nah windows xp and 7 exists, 10 came close but that's about it. What do you think about the upcoming 26h2 update for 11? Is it gonna brick my pc or make it slow af?
@Papa_Straightit's gonna leak all your personal information to bad people and permanently brick your motherboard
@sleepwalker6825stop being hyperbolic. Windows hasn't been great for years now, but they didn't become THE go to PC operating system by coming out of the gate sucking at what they do
I'm so glad I upgraded to Linux.
Forcing the inferior Windows 11 onto me was my last straw.
For me I couldn't even upgrade. My motherboard wasn't compatible. I wasn't going to build a whole new computer (which I used for gaming and could play on high graphics mind you) so Microsoft could put their spyware on it.
Just install win 20 pro enterprise and never update it. Works fine on my six machines.
@mrgcav Just install Linux and it works on literally everything.
@dyne313 apart from certain games like GTA Online (now uses BattlEye but Rockstar refuse to enable it for Linux).
I disagree that Windows 11 is inferior. Every iteration of Windows builds on its predecessor.
Since the last update, my machine freezes when opening My Computer…. It’s unbelievable
Time to GA back to win10 or linux
Hardware problem
@Horrordelic ah yes the famous software update is a hardware problem right lol
Good thing i never updated my windows for the ai update or everything after it
of course, we believe
I was having problem with instaling win11 and my pc is competebol then i go to the bios to inable tpm 2.0 and then the pc is not booting at all to win 10 and it is booting and ahuting done realy fast then it burnd my motherbord and cpu and the tecnishen was abel to install win 11 but it factory reset my pc becuse my old nvme was alredy corapted now i have an hyperland ml4w distro on endever os arch that works with no problem also i instald a small parteshon of win 11 just for adobe and games like fortnite
Windows 10 still exists. I just refused to upgrade. Waiting for the Steam OS to take over.
Me to😂🎉

Me three….
It has just begun; several new games require Windows 11.
@MrKlausHeisler No they don't.
At 13:03 you said that "Linux isn't quite there yet." regarding Kernel level anti cheats. I'd bet that Linux will NEVER "get there" until anti-cheat doesn't work in such an intrusive way. With steam batting for team penguin now, there might actually be a shot at that happening, but probably not the way you're thinking. Kernel level anti-cheat is a kindof insane solution to the problem and probably shouldn't be used on any platform IMHO.
How dare you advocate denying the CCP access to your computer at all times. -1000 Social Credit
I could live with the fact that I have some third-party program running in the background at the kernel level, at least somehow verified and licensed by Microsoft, if it were actually useful and protected against cheaters, but the reality is that these anti-cheats do not particularly prevent cheaters from cheating.
I guess that's what cloud gaming solves, with its own downsides...
This!
i'd rather pay $60 for my competitive shooter than get free to play malware ridden one. also, hire more moderators and ban cheaters instead of relying on your viruses
I have a theory that Microsoft is trying to power their Data Centers and Copilot using peoples at home computers running Windows, but I just can't prove it yet
I have this theory too
Check your machine's network traffic with great intent. You can almost always tell if there are rogue communications
Edit: I would but I saw this coming a mile away and have never installed it
Yes.
@dbptwgI've had Crome ask me to verify I'm human because of an excessive amount t of traffic from my network. Ever since the update. No malware located.
It us not actually a far fetched idea.
I think the EU should get involved.
They are the only one that can deal with those technology juggernauts.
So it's either apple or penguin huh
Learned how to install linux after a laptop repair, bought everything to build a gaming pc last night and I'm not going back to windows.
yeah I too wanna daily drive linux mint but the thing is it doesn't use my dGPU ans sailing the seas is a pain with it.
Same here. Steam's Proton layer helps with Linux gaming on Intel and Nvidia, but not with other game clients.
@ku_JO_taro Actually, Linux Mint does support dGPUs, but it doesn't always enable them "out of the box" because of licensing for NVIDIA drivers or the way it handles hybrid graphics (switching between integrated and dedicated).
If you want a distro with "out of the box" support, look into Bazzite, Garudo and Pop_OS! These distros have license to ship with Nvidia drivers pre-installed.
@tunnelcatHeroic Game Launcher and Lutris; problem solved.
Not true!! Amd is supported nowadays. i wished people would actually give it a try instead of assuming based on old facts or stereotypes. But the truth is Linux constantly is getting updates that being pairity with windows
And people wonder why I said fuck Microslop and switched to Linux... I even gained performance in most games since I'm using an AMD GPU.... suck it winblows I'm never going back
same here
At some point im wondering how many people went with Penguin since Win 11 released and started releasing broken updates and "features". I moved away from Windows few weeks before Win 10 support ended and so far it has been great. Im definetly here to stay.
I don't wonder at all, mate. Quite the reverse, I am flabbergasted when I see someone still using Windows.
@Doctor_Technopolis I only use it right now (dualboot) because I am too lazy to figure out why pop_os doesnt play audio over headphones. maybe next weekend 😂
I wanted to try an AMD but they only sell 90% NVidia and 3% AMD at a higher price. The rest is Intel and I have no idea what kind of brand Graphics Card is and I'm not risking it.
I made the switch a couple of weeks ago. I refuse to have spyware on my system.
I also refuse to have malware running each time I play certain games with "anti cheat". It's not safe.
If you have a phone it's spyware, if you have a modern TV, it's spyware, hell using the Internet without a VPN is spyware
LOL, use Gmail? RUclips (obviously), then you have spyware. Get over it.
@lenzielenski3276it's not as bad as being baked into the system itself.
I might just install GrapheneOS at some point and run my apps in a sandbox environment.
@shadow49681my TV isn't connected to the internet. I have an LG who is currently part of a class action lawsuit alongside Samsung and Hisense because they literally take screenshots every second and send that data back to their servers.
I've also been using a VPN for about 2 years now.
@lenzielenski3276I'm also not on the "official" YT app. I've got a modified version of the apk which removes a bunch of stuff, including ads.
I'm trying to switch to linux mint with unetbootin but it doesnt let me
Microsoft suffered the second largest loss of stock value of any company in world history, in a single day last week. That's right, $400 billion dollars in shareholder value went right down the 🚽
Good.
Holy shit! You weren't kidding!
those files about bill gates LOL
Still not enough. As a former IT system administrator, I'm quite sure they are responsible for cutting off some years of my lifespan because of how bad their software actually was and is, and it is only getting worse (which is why I stopped doing both Unix/Linux and Windows system administration over 15 years ago already, and concentrated on Unix/Linux. You know, I like things which *stay fixed* once I have fixed them. Something which was definitely *not* the case with Windows, where quite often the next update reintroduced the same bugs (or new, similar, ones) again.
@IgorRockt It's just really really bad. Like flying in the face of good engineering. I think they made the rule "if it ain't broke don't fix it" in 4000 BC and the company founded by the drop-out didn't even learn that principle.
14:48 i thought i got an update all of a sudden
Me too😂
Ive refused to update from Win7 for years but now Im about to switch to Linux.
Thumb up.
Use Mint, it's basically like XP
Nice. Are you gonna try out different ones or just have one in mind?
Why? Its not going to do anything your OS doesn't do already.
@ElvisB.I'm in the same boat. I'm torn between Ubuntu as I've already used it, and pop! os, as it seems to fit my needs, orat least the description does
I'm going through some c*** right now. With my laptop, I haven't used it in two months, but it's auto updated.And it keeps asking for my bit locker recovery key.I've gotten it from microsoft.Put it in blue screen twenty minutes later.Again asking for the same thing
can someone see microslop stock market now???
Did we make them listen that we don't want copilot, onedrive or any bloatware microslop want us to uses???
Minus 10%.
Onedrive has it's place, when you don't have portable Hard drives. It's usually not for your avarage consumer on any daily basis, heck even as an office worker you will only ever use Onedrive in case your Laptop needs replacing. No, Onedrive is Literally always used to gain your data, be it your employer when you leave or get fired, or whoever legal entity comes knocking, worst case it's sold to marketing or train their AI slop without the decency to ask for consent.
Any of these 'features' should be Opt-in if Microsoft had anyone decent leading at the helm,
it would give them a heck of alot more feedback of what their consumer base wants instead of whoever they are listening to now.
You seem really eager for those taxpayer-funded bailouts to come about.
I want onedrive and copilot! And bloatware is one click away from an uninstall...
Today i uninstalled windows 11 due to being unstable after updating and got worse reverting the update, constant wifi being disconnected, USB being unplugged randomly and if left the pc idle for more than 10 mins it automatically reboot the pc , making me loose much progress, got a USB put steamOS, EVERYTHING IN MY PC WAS WORKING FLAWLESSLY, couple min setting up accounts, discord , chrome and wifi password and no issues, everything out of the box
Amazing. I'm sitting next to 8 laptops, with all different kinds of hardware and not one single problem. Me thinks its the operator that's unstable.
@lenzielenski3276 Me too!!!!🤣 This guy just have a Layer8 Problem, but it´s easier to say it´s Microsoft fault!😂👍
Been too many years since N+, now I have to look up layer 8.
2:41 well, a broken OS is definitely secure. You don’t have to worry about people accessing data on a non-working system #4dChess #Checkmate
always wondered why rocks don't get malware, that's a live proof
It's not working for you. But it's probably working well enough for bad actors...
Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. But isn't bit locker optional and disabled by default in Windows 10?
Today, after win 11 update, it automatically installed "Bitlocker", now my laptop doesn't boot, with no key in microsoft account, even reset is not working and I am locked out.
I had some access nonsense I had to go rooting around in the registry for, it disabled WiFi connection on my laptop altogether and refused to connect to the internet with an ethernet cable too
Me to on home pc
Same thing happened to me 2 months ago, and guess what, the keys on the microsoft account that were supposed to work actually didnt, it'd freeze and do nothing. Im on linux now (been planning the switch regardless), but this event had sped up my switch by around 2 months...
Ask the FIBs. They are glad to help you :)
What the heck, with no bitlocker key in microsoft account ???
Love linux now not gonna lie
Exactlly I changed to Garuda Linux a year ago I do not miss Windows at all.
@loveJoy2012-q3c nice
Honestly that has been my pov too since i moved to Linux few months ago. Bazzite is great for me and every news about Windows makes me more glad i did it. Although i cant play some games i used to, i do not miss Windows at all and im thinking of ways to upgrade others around here to Linux aswell. Most dont need software that only runs on Windows or dont play games like Battlefield 6 or similar that dont run on Linux so they have no excuse of staying with broken stuff that MS poops out these days.
Really. Im considering it.
@VeraFXI did it two weeks ago. Linux Mint. Flawless. Simple. Awesome. You won't regret it.
The day W11 stops working on my system I'm switching to pop os with the nvidia drivers pre installed iso. This is unacceptable MS!
debians only way to go
@redwoodimage At this point anything is better than Windows 11. I wouldn't recommend Debian to new users though, its stability can cause quite a few problems when you are on newer hardware or need newer versions of applications and libraries and trying to install those outside the debian repository is what usually breaks it.
@redwoodimage nah, nyaarch is the only viable option
@Erdnusschokolade yep for newer hardware distro like based on debian is bad option because they use old lts kernel which often lack of drivers for newer hardware i will suggest them to use fedora or arch based distro or Bazzite.
Bazzite is good too if you want gaming
OMG YEAH my computer sometimes wont let me open firefox and then it opens microsoft edge...
Yeah, because you're too stupid to configure standard software, that's probably Microsoft's fault too, or what!?
Fedora user here. We are also the testers for Red Hat. But I actually can decide when I want the updates they publish.
And usually, nothing breaks. Or just a tiny bit that can be restored.
And everything is in configuration files that you can tweak in the console. Not "The Registry" which is a database requiring a custom tool. Just something you edit with a text editor. You can even get source code to most of what you run on Linux if you really want it.
@michaelmurphree593Exactly! File-based OS. And you have tons of mighty tools to edit files.
@michaelmurphree593 Depends on distro - in some case you can get pretty much ALL of the source code (on Debian for example the only thing I didn't get source for were nvidia drivers)
mint user here
Imagine defiling Notepad by integrating with Copilot. Notepad used to be the simplest application there was, taking just a few kilobytes. This feels like defecating on a cathedral and calling it an improvement.

Ooo! I have a Windows update horror story! Last summer, I did something called CBE, which is where you take an exam in the summer, and based on your score, you can get Texas high school credit. I was taking a test to CBE Biology, and basically, 3 minutes before I finished the test, windows updated, and shut down my computer. Thankfully, I had gotten enough questions right by that point to pass, and still get credit, but it forced my computer to submit it!!!!
Guess you should have taken computer science instead of biology because you could call up Task Manager and just kill the update process.
@lenzielenski3276 that is not the point. It shouldnt even start the process randomly like that. Don't make excuses for Microslop
@lenzielenski3276 pulling up the task manager could have registered as cheating, so no you can't
@Seargoth You must be young to be so ignorant. They do this on purpose. How else do you test against millions of hardware/software combinations? Early adopters are their unpaid and unappreciated beta army.
Fact: they also have an unpaid Alpha army, but you actually have to sign up for that one.
They're taking advantage of human nature that wants the biggest and best, hence the toggles for 'get it fastest' and 'delay it' so everyone can figure out what's most important to them, the shiny new or the old reliable. And they learned this from Apple.
Mac users have been trained so that now every time there's an OS update, they have to go and update every single other app and driver. They pioneered the zero day rush to upgrade, then sat back and watched it break, forcing software companies to scramble around to come with updates so things would work again. They've been doing this for decades so that their users just think of it as normal. If you were around for the first releases of OS-X you'd have seen it yourself.
Linux is the same, EVERYONE is a beta tester, or potentially so, hence the "long term support" vs the "nightly release" and "weekly update". Same shit, different label, same outcome. Its not an excuse, don't pick a rose and be surprised when you prick your finger.
ooo! I have horror with linux every day
i never got any of these problem using window 11 25H2 even without tweaking windows like using windebloater etc. I'm using it from 24H2 to 25H2 i haven't gotten any issues from using it, maybe because it's user error?
Fun fact you can still use the OOBE work around if you have a hideously outdated install media like I do
Or just just use the LTSC edition
My laptop bricked after an update andmhad to install it again, so i installed cachyOS. When I saw that it was good after two weeks of use, I installed it in my desktop.
kinda did the same thing with my rog ally and my desktop.. First i tried bazzite on my ally. Saw it was good then installed cachyos on my desktop. And that was 5 months ago
CachyOs + KDE is the deal
@rzvendramini plasma is the wae
my laptop was fine untile an update made it perform so bad it lagged on notepad
Time to switch to penguin
why did you wait so long?
@brunodadic2130
Because they didn’t NEED to until now
I've literally been setting up my computer with dual boot this weekend to see if it works for my dev and gaming needs, lol. I landed on Mint Cinnamon and so far so good! (though not amazing running it off a USB stick)
Aren’t there popular games that are not supported for Linux?
@ZeEpicOfficial Oh yeah, almost any Live Service game, but if you don't like giving Kernel level access away for an anti-cheat, you probably weren't playing those already anyway...
now i'm considering installing linux
Nice
Peak, try fedora or mint, easiest to use imo :3
try it
If you're new to Linux, i'd suggest either Linux Mint or Zorin OS. If you're a gamer, try Bazzite, CachyOS, or Nobara.
i really recommend you do it, i used windows 10, 11 and 10 LTSC but none of them are as good as linux
I am so glad i swapped to Linux.
Same been using it for 2 years now
@anonymousty17is it really that much better? What about for games ?
linux is still trash, i literally cant play any popular mp games.
@valt1337 well that’s just a lie, just anything from epic games and riot. Arc raiders runs perfectly, same with literally anything on steam.
@valt1337 Don't blame Linux for that, the games will run, The anticheats just auto kick you from MP lobbies. That is an Issue with the coding of the Kernel level anticheats. Easy anticheat being probably the biggest offender. If Epic would support Linux Users Like Valve, this issue could be easily solved, but they don't. If they worked to get the anticheat for Fortnite to stop kicking Linux users it would be a watershed moment for Linux gaming. That being said there are Anti cheats that don't discriminate against the penguin. Nextgaurd anticheat which runs on Helldivers for instance, isn't an issue. And as someone that dual boots, Helldivers runs better in Bazzite than windows 11 on my hardware (Ryzen 5 7600x cpu, AMD RX 6700XT GPU).
I installed windows 11 roughly 4 months after release and hadn't had any major issues until yesterday, my pc would boot into windows for couple of seconds and BSOD with a different message each time, i also no longer have windows 11 activated for some reason.. maybe just another flaw in these latest updates, anyways i fresh installed windows 11 via USB thumb drive and had continuous BSOD's yet again but turns out that the 24H2 completely bricked my WD Blue SSD so now i gotta buy a new SSD and probably wait until these issues are resolved
I'm one of those exploring Linux. Giving my customers options for it, and trying to convert my systems, but damn, i got to many systems doing specific things.
having the constant neccesity to press the button "update" ¿why?
do you have an option of preinstalling linux?
I might just try one today. I got nothing else todo.
Zorin os is great for beginners as an all around os not so much for gaming but does work on games too.
True, Zorin OS is great for daily use (my kids use it for school work). I also know a few sys-admins that use Zorin OS because they can use ActiveDirectory with it.
My computer at one point tried to auto-update to win11. I forced revert back to win10 and disable the TPM in bios so that the win11 installer would fail to work.
Arch on it immediately
i disabled updates in command settings so my pc wouldnt auto install win11.
i dont plan on switching off win10 for a while and i have the feeling that at this rate microsoft might throw away win11 completely and go back to making win10 updates.
@uteriel282 but you will be vulnerable to a ton of exploits. its not the way to go either.
When i was see this video i going to browser surce,and i vander is my now pc runs wd or lx.
One of my windows 11 did boot in safe mode and I use a PIN code, but it did not work in safe mode, I was forced to use a cmd command to force windows Normal boot, as it was PIN code or try again
and people are afraid of linux terminal lol
About the anti cheat thing, its not that "linux isnt there yet", those games have intentionally blocked proton, its a volume thing. The more players get into Linux the more pressure there is going to be support it.
Also there are a few high profile games that are already support it, Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders work. You can easily check any game in the proton database site
The steam deck has already pushed a lot, i can only see a bright future as desktops also start moving into linux.
Hell Let Loose used to not support Linux on easy anti-cheat but a year back they decided to just turn on support and now it works perfectly
Yeah the market will force the changes necessary.
The anti-cheat makers support Linux out of the box these days. The developers know this and don't have to do anything to enable whichever one they choose to do so.
A good Example is Rust by Facepunch, they allowed Linux users to run their game and AC but saw a spike in cheaters and reverted, now they have no plans to allow it again until there is a larger user base wanting to play on Linux ( i count myself among the linux crowd) as of right now i have a windows 11 install as a boot option just for games like that but hate using it....
I’m just waiting until the Devs for Apex turn back support for Linux (they originally canned it because of hackers and cheaters coming in from the Linux side)
Happen to me yesterday, they messed up my windows pin, ask me to reset on opening screen but the popup didn't load anything except error message saying I don't have internet connection wtf, I'm basically soft lock from my account, the only way I could get it run again is by reinstall windows using my usb drive, I'm totally sick of this garbage what if it happen to my company laptop or something.
Entire governments are switching to Linux now, I think Germany is doing this. Corporations are suffering all kinds of trouble because of Microsoft's implosion of sanity.
@freelectron21mircoslop is gonna go out business for this and that day will be glorious
@freelectron21 South Korea is moving to Linux.
so is norway
and france and germany too
@freelectron21 France is also switching to Linux, a lot of countries are doing that
I maybe the lucky few who PC doesn’t break after an update, usually I just don’t even update it when it wants too, I just wait and wait and my PC, the only weird thing that happens is that it auto restarts by itself.
12:11 *As a Linux user of over 15 years, my daily driver is Linux Mint MATE and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect mix of performance, aesthetics, support, and reliability.* It's genuinely hard to compete with.
Support? Who do you call, Ghostbusters 'cause there's no help line for Linux. You sure the heck aren't getting into a forum and hoping for the best if your computer won't boot.
@lenzielenski3276 That's extremely rare on Linux. I've been running Linux for 20+ years and never had a no boot issue on any distro. Sure, things weren't all great in the early days, but modern distros just work. Just don't make Arch your first choice.
@lenzielenski3276i mean obviously, Linux isn't a one-size-fits-all matter
@lenzielenski3276 skill issue
What are you? Illiterate?
Linux mint is the way people say "im freaking old and dont want new stuff" 😂
Just go with Fedora Rawhide. Its modern and active developed.
If I find a way to rewind windows to the latest release as of September will that fix things for my gpu?
depends what is wrong. Nvidia already dropped a driver supposedly fixing the gpu thing
@Fearzzyyea my dumbass commented before finishing the video
Me seeing the shit storm known as Windows 11 from Nobara Linux
My pc started to freeze after 30min and now even less. I checked all the bios updates, driver updates, and even ran diagnostics on my Ram sticks and found no issues. This all happened after all the new updates on Windows. I can’t even do basic browsing anymore.
Buying a Steam Deck is what did it for me. I'm a sick Starcraft 2 junky and found that the middle mouse scroll bug didn't exist on the deck. I replaced Windows 10 on my pc with Bazzite, and I've never seen sc2 run so smooth. Setting the keyboard repeat rate was trivial, like a normal setting, unlike Windows where you have to edit the registry. I got better at the game overnight. It's pretty silly that I didn't even know how bad Windows was holding me back for so long.
Glad to see this comment, I play the SCII too.
I have a decent PC (4080 S, i9 ultra, ddr5), and I was surprised that Oblivion Remaster and most Steam games RUN BETTER ON LINUX than Windows. There's no reason to stay on Windows, for any reason. Linux has everything you need. Great Photoshop equivalent. Video editing and DaVinci Resolve runs on it. Libre Office. FreeCAD.
@teoteo-s197Austin Evans did a test and most games still run better in Windows.
@deathtrooper2048 Good for him, but it runs better on Linux for me vs. Windows.
I moved to linux almost like a year ago and never looked back, i ended up deleting the windows partition because just for not using it it broke itself multiple times i don't know why lol.
be thankful Windows was breaking itself it was giving you signs to put it out of its misery
@akiral3g10n6 Totally lol
I didn't even bother with the partition option, I just clicked erase disk for clean Linux mint install. I have so much space on my hard drive now after trimming the fat.
😂
There is also Nobrra Distro designed for gaming as well.
Nobara is fantastic and if I ever go back to linux I will use it again, but it needs to be more stable
EVERY modern linux kernel is for gaming.
Its was never about the distro. Its just the interface. The look and feel. Has nothing to do with drivers or performance.
But how to use my gear keyboard, mouse, headset as not a basic hardware but for that features i bought them.
i havent updated i tried windows 11, when it 1st came on and it would not run at all on a newly built pc it was really frustrating, i tried it a few other times and it was same thing, freezing blue screens, slow laggy and headaces.
And you're supposed to be Microsoft's fault because you're too stupid to assemble a computer? Strangely enough, my new computer works perfectly!? The last bluescreen i saw 15 years ago!
Btw, what are those Reddit names at 14:13? Is that supposed to be the average Reddit user? 😂
Is there is small-penis-200, there are at least 199 more before him. I might be 201st 😢
Yes
Im still at win 10 once they fix the anti cheat on linux im moving in.
fix is not the right word. Most game studios don't bother with linux because kernel level anti cheat won't work on linux and more importantly the linux gaming market is way too small.
If people want their favorite game running on linux, then install linux and play games that work on linux (which is almost all of them). If the linux market grows, then they will "fix" the anti cheat.
Why so many fps games dont work with linux because of anticheat, but still have a ton of cheaters i will never know
This.
@Adesterr until they manage to do that, why in the fuck would i lose couple of hundred games across multiple platforms?
@Adesterr Some companies go out of their way to make their games not work with linux like Fortnite which had linux support then dropped it most likely to try and affect the success of steam os and linux gaming.
i have both amd's cpu n gpu, wich distro should i try? im still on windows 10
I'm using the Microsoft to Microslop browser extendion rn
thanks god im still on win10
It's a peaceful life
seriously, don't get why anyone would ever want to upgrade its literally the perfect OS, 11 is a complete shit show
im curious about linux after hearing about it over and over again but im staying on win 10 for the time being im predicting if microsoft loses users to linux they might get thier act together scrap win 11 and come out with a stable os and call it win 12 and stop pushing stuff on ppl that dont want it give ppl choices thats why their using pc's to begin with ♦
@ŖÄÝ_ŠŦËĂŁŦĦ I think microsoft as a whole is doomed a few days ago they lost like a shit load of stock value and it is still heading downhill.
@kaijuultimax9407it truly is.
You can use bit locker with offline account and store the keys your self. no one should use home all version of windows are free.
yes, but they constantly fighting offline accounts and sooner or later there will be no possibility to have it
that is, until an app forces you to login
@MrDonCoyote like what app?
@redwoodimage it's only a matter of time until the start menu does.
@redwoodimage Well. Weird and random apps like MS Paint require login now, which is insane. So who knows.
is there a site that shows when it's safe to update Windows 11?
one that always has a big text saying "never"
@orca.pet3910YT LOL.. yup!
Sold.
Fantastic video; I'm starting on putting together my first gaming pc build tonight, and I'd already been thinking about making that my Linux test platform.
This confirmed it.
