Your tablet handwriting is so dogshit that it's almost as bad as my regular handwriting with a pen and paper, where I have absolutely no excuses to cower behind.
I'm thinking of switching to Linux full time whenever support ends for Windows 10. I don't like the invasive and intrusive features Microsoft keeps adding into Windows.
Dual-booting anything with Windows is dangerous. Sooner or later, something will trigger windows' disk checker utility. It will then re-write the boot sequence, and disable any other operating system. That's when you find out that Linux is pretty stupid as well, and is utterly unable to recover itself - you have to do a new install. Idiotic. After the second time that windows hunted-down and killed linux, I came up with a solution. Get rid of windows.
How to delete your entire system: log in as root, f.ex. by sudo. Then do rm -fr /. It might work, but later versions of bash doesn't allow this. It is not easy to erase your hard disk or mess up your system, it is about as complicated as doing it on Windows. I switched to partially in 1998 and finally in 2005, because I was angry with Microsoft business practices, the DLL Hell, and I already knew Unix, and i knew the commands. It took some half a year to relearn Windows 7 in 2011, but that was for business practices only. I still run Linux.
How is gaming in the negative? just because fortnite and destiny 2 are blocked by the anticheat? Every single game you can think of runs on linux this days on par or better than on windows. It's like saying that playstation sucks because it doesn't have halo or that xbox sucks because doesn't have god of war. I switched to linux mainly to game better and with more control on my hardware than on windows.
I was approaching it from an ease of use and accessibility standpoint not a technical standpoint. It is still more convenient to the average user to set up a windows PC for gaming but I said Linux is getting better at that part daily it seems
@@DualWieldingDad It seems pretty straight forward: install steam, install game, play game. Out of steam? lutris/heroic launcher and what not, it's not harder steps, it's different steps. It's all about the approach: using linux expecting a clone of windows it's wrong, it's never going to happen and will only bring disappointment. It takes more time to unlearn windows than learn linux. None of what I said is aimed to prove you wrong, I respect every opinion, I just don't think that someone that wants to game can find anything easier than installing something like bazzite or nobara and be gaming within an hour with no need to configure anything or even download the drivers. It's like using a steamdeck.
@@nixiam My experience hasn't been quite that painless, I had to do some messing around to get Cyberpunk and a couple other games running, so not exactly that straightforward. In context I'd agree that windows is the 'easier' platform for games and for people who like to mod certain games (that otherwise run on Linux) Linux isn't even an option.
Gaming is definitely not as good on Linux as it is on Windows overall. Some select games, generally the most popular ones, work as well or better on Linux than Windows, but for gaming as a whole, that only puts Linux above Windows for a very select few. Tools like Proton, Lutris, Bottles, and whatnot aren't comparable to the compatability that Windows offers, as many games run poorly on them and many don't run at all. Linux can be better for gaming for some people, but being a Linux user is inherently limiting to what you can play. Proton, Lutris, Bottles, etc... help in that regard, but they're absolutely do not have the same level of compatability as Windows has. It may not be the OS's fault, but whether or not it's Linux's fault is not something any end-user should be expected to care about.
Ok, not trying to push any one distro to you but Rocky is the distro that Resolve lists as supported, so it should (theoreticly) just drop in and run. You probably know this but it's a fork of RHEL. Gaming, can't help there, don't game. Welcome to *nix, good luck.
Technically you can run resolve on any distro if you use a distrobox container. But it can be a comvoluted process. Tafotin and micheal horn both have videos on how to get it running on other distros. However the linux build has some limitations on regards to codec support and gpu support (i think)
@@personyeet Please don't think me rude, but I must corect you. You can run Resolve on any distro, if I tried that it would (probably) turn into a cluster-f*ck fallowed by a laptop toss. Na I'll use the recamended distro saves cursing and cash. See I like linux but I'm not that good at it yet. And I only have one puter thats to old for virtualization so my photo/video-editing has to stop for me to work with installing stuff. Thank You for the tip though.
I've heard people say exactly that quite a lot over the years and it's both funny and weird just how often people would list things that are either straight up available on linux natively, or have alternatives that fulfill their requirements completely. So... What exactly does Linux not have in your case? The state of things might be better than you imagine, depending on what you need.
@ActionGamerAaron I think it's safe to say that 90% of the time when you read this comment, the software in question is _probably_ Adobe. The rest is probably microsoft development tools. _Yes,_ there are other individual pieces of software that can all just about do what each part of the Adobe suite does... but it's not 1 to 1, and if we're talking about any workflow that involves collaborating with other people who _are_ using Adobe, then it doesn't matter because you are going to be stuck using the software that can open the same files as everyone else working with you and that is designed to be able to just transfer whatever you need into other parts of the suite when you need to. This _can_ be done on other software, but it's not integrated and you will _always_ be taking risks when you're talking about converting source file formats. I promise you, the first time your third-party (non-Adobe) software breaks a critical source file so bad that it corrupts hours or days of work from multiple people will also be the first time you will get to experience what it's like to watch a room full of polite, quiet, artsy types suddenly start howling and lunging at you with claws and teeth and empty rage in their eyes in an effort to strip the flesh from your bones to offer as sacrifice to the Adobe spirits in a desperate hope to atone for your crime of offering sacrament and allegiance to the evil demon spirits. They eventually come back to themselves, but by then all that's left of you looks like a pile of bones under a mound of pulled pork. Seriously, though. The more people and different types of software you have opening and converting formats, the more your probability of introducing weird, invisible bugs into these files nears 1. It's not an "if" question, it's a "when" question when we're talking about any file that's as bloated and massive as a project source file _tends_ to be for pretty much any software.
Sorta same. I don't generally *need* my computer for anything more than a web browser, but I use it for a whole lot more than that. Linux just doesn't support a lot of games I want to play, requires a lot of work to get others working. The "requires a lot of work" thing is a real sticking point for me. When I'm using my computer in my free time, it's generally for the sake of fun. Navigating the absolute dumpsterfire that is the average Linux program's problem solving process is not how I like spending my free time. I'll have maybe ten hours tops of free time that I can spend at my computer in a week, and spending that time browsing random internet forums for unhelpful and often hostile "advice" is not what I am going to do to relax. Every time that I have tried to switch to Linux, Ubuntu about 10 years ago, Mint twice about 8 and 5 years ago, and Arch this year, the day to day work required to just use the darn thing how I want is basically as fun as going to work on weekdays. Ironically, in spite of how people say that it's extremely unfriendly to beginners, Arch has actually been the best experience I've had with Linux so far simply because of the Arch wiki and the AUR. Having a reliable source of information is the single most important thing that kept me going and hopeful. The moment that the Arch wiki and the AUR weren't useful for solving a problem, I was back to feeling like I was slogging through work.
Most people treat it as a goal, but it's better to treat it as a process, a lengthy one, with many failures along the road. This is especially true for YT creators, because an average, non-technical user can in most cases use Linux fine, but video creators have expensive and esoteric hardware, very strong personalized setups (which mean they are not flexible and very demanding) and needs for proprietary software that isn't accessible on Linux and those apps that are available, have tons of problems. That adds to driver and hardware problems, plus being new to the Linux environment and you have a perfect setup for a big fail. Even casual users learn: try, fail, go back to windows, try again, break their Linux OS many times, with persistence they will learn to use it without bigger issues, get to know around and then it's all fine again. There are still some issues, as with all OSes. However, YT creators have it 100 times worse, because they don't have time or money to go from scratch up, endure through multiple failures, while they need to do another and another video. This quickly ends up in going back to windows. Those who are fresh to YT and are willing to build up from the start, and often have some technical inclination, find fun in the process and are more willing to switch and use alternative apps, even if they are worse. Those with working, huge setups, cannot afford the failure, so they monetize their attempts, but they end up always in the same place - being back on Windows.
Ah, almost forgot, it's good to have someone who is already very involved in FOSS environment, one who can help with various technical problems. Without it, be ready to do stupid choices and then blame Linux for it. Last time I saw it, was a RUclipsr choosing distro with Gnome DE and then trying to use Davinci Resolve, which sucks on Linux and sucks even more on Gnome, because Gnome doesn't support server side decorations (titlebar with buttons), nor window rules. Surprising is, that he was not new to Linux, so why did he choose distro that made him fail even stronger? So if you are completely new, you will do even more stupid things. The thing is, Windows is just monolithic, while Linux is modular, like Lego, so the set of building blocks (your disto and DE) matter. If you choose the wrong ones, you will have a bad experience. In Windows, you don't care about the system components, because there is no choice, while on Linux, if something is wrong, you need to learn about each of them and this becomes challenging. Sure, you can change the distor or DE, but do you have time and will to go through the process of trying various things, dealing with tons of issues along the way, discovering the basics every time? This could be fun, or... a big no no.
You know, the thing about Fedora, I've never used it personally, but I've also never heard a Fedora user coming on to various Linux forums/subreddits and complain about how much Linux sucks.
The main user-base for Fedora is more on the professional side I think. People looking for something stable and secure. Probably on the boring side for the average Redditor. I like a good boring OS for my daily driver 😅
@@DualWieldingDad You nailed it, Fedora is kind of like Pop OS but System76 actually took the time to see what their clients needed in a Linux distro. Not that Fedora is bad, (and Nobara is based on it which is another great distro) but it can be a bit ornery in some ways.
just export your Evernote notes,its possible in older versions of the windows software, I did so, altho I do not care about these notes anymore, and you can import them into Joplin. Its what I use now as a 100% full-time Linux user since several years back(a handful of years i do believe). I just do simple notes in Joplin, it has support for plugins to extend its functionalities as well, its not as slick OOTB as far as I remember but Ive not used Evernote in AGES now. I try to look for FOSS apps whenever I want to install something, even tho in general, theyre usually not as slick, easy or fancy as the FOSS alternatives. But what I do get is Freedom. Nothing I do in life that earns me money requires anything proprietary, so I do my best to steer away from any of it. Real glad I did the switch as a life-long Windows user since the mid to early 90s, Windows 7 was the last Good version of Windows. It just went shit after that in bloat.
The premise is very wrong. Most people should not "leave" any OS, you can use both for various use cases. There is no need to only use one. Also the question assumes that Linux is an equal alternative in design and goals to Windows but better, but this is one major mistake newcomers make. That is not true. Linux is not another type of Windows, Linux is a different operating system. Dont go to Linux expecting it to do what Windows does, and vice versa. Only use Linux if you are willing to deal with workarounds to things that are made to be done on a Windows, to not use software that cannot be used on Linux and if you wish to acclimate to a new operating system. Also helps if Linux does something you need in a better way for your workflow than Windows, for me programming which is subjective of course. Again, people make this wild notion that Linux is "better" or "superior Windows". No, Linux is Linux and Windows is Windows. For my usage case Linux is better because I am used to it, I use it for things it does well and I am not reliant on propietary software that isnt ported to Linux. If you are the opposite then Linux is probably not for you. Sorry. I know Microsoft sucks and you just want Windows 7 back, but Linux can't do that for you because Linux isn't Windows 7. If you find yourself annoyed, frustrated and Linux doesn't work for you, then feel no shame in using Windows instead.
I've been using Linux daily for 20 years. Love it. Windows ISN'T the most used OS. Linux is. Top 500 Supercomputers on the planet all use *nix. Cloud services like Microsoft Azure are using Linux, Internet servers, firewalls, embedded systems, phones, tablets, console gaming systems, even Apple IOs is based on *BSD unix. Over the last 20 years Linux has taken over almost every niche of computing to the point that only Desktops and specialized proprietary systems DON'T run it.
