This year in June I tried switching to Linux and the result is that I haven't used Windows since. I got myself a stick with Arch Linux, I just used the archinstall script and boom, all done. I can definitely recommend it since it is a blast gaming on it, everything on Steam works out of the box, the rest I was able to get going with Lutris. I mean all except the titles with kernel level anticheat, but I wouldn't bother playing it anyway. I've also gotten used to programming on it.
Oh nice! Arch Linux's terminal is a bit hard to use at first, especially when trying to install the OS, but yeah I've heard Arch is pretty much the go to (alongside Mint)
@@ThatBritishSnep Basically if you run the install script then you don't have to do anything except select what you want to install and that is it. After the installation you will boot directly into the graphical user interface already. You can test it on a VM, it is very simple.
right now, I'm dual booting with FerenOS. once W10 is totally dropped, then Feren will be my main system. the only thing that will change this would be that Microsoft releases W12 and its just as good or better than W10.
for your nex try i would really reccomend LMDE 6 (linux mint debian edition), it is extremely stable and easy to use, and has non of the snap pack closed source nonsens. If you wanna say "i use arch btw" but dont wanna go thru the terminal based installation you can go with endeavouros, it makes some alterations to make it more user friendly and has a gui package manager out of the box unlike arch linux.
A lot of the issues that you are experiencing in this video are because you are running in virtualization. Lag, artifacts... the lot. Also... with Space Cadet, you're running Windows virtualization (openbox) on top of a virtualized Ubuntu on top of Windows. Not a good recipe, actually. 🙂 If you do have an extra SSD, you'd have a much better time installing directly. Manjaro/KDE is my distro and desktop environment of choice.
@@Twylight85 Just got an extra SSD, so I will install Linux onto that. But yeah, a lot of the issues are down to the fact that I was running inside a virtual machine, whilst locally on an SSD I would have a much smoother ride.
hiya. while this might be a rather niche use... but can you help me with suggestions, tips or links to SPECIFIC tutorials to make my rig as a media server for the lan? i run on 3900x, 24gbram and a standard gigabit router (tp-link ax5400). my os and some games i care more about run on the 970 evo. i also have 1tb and 4tb samsung ssd's full of media. i still do not have enough capacity (in my eyes) to warrant a separate machine build. but i would like to have that media to be available on my local network. i can easily spare 2c4t and 8gb of ram, to run, possibly a linux vm that could host on-demand media server. i still have my relix of a pc (3570kOC'd with 16gb ram, but would need a new psu)... but if possible, i would rather sacrifice some of my 3900x's cores and ram. vlc-like decoder to help most of the platforms would be really useful! any good ideas? yes... i am a cheapskate.
@@Xamiakass Definitely replace that PSU if it's on it's way out. Don't cheap out on any hardware. Tbh, I'd just run Linux locally on a machine, especially as I did in the video run into quite a few issues with the VM, whilst locally you'll have a much smoother run at it.
@@ThatBritishSnep damn... there goes my cheapskate's way out. i guess, i will have to save for another 4tb ssd, to consider frankensteining a new rig and run as a server/nas. well, thanks for your time, bud! i was just "beggar's hope" style if somebody could suggest me something. lol, that's another 2 months extra plan. but seriously: thank you for the response.

@@MartinWoad I'll look into that, especially for the next Linux video.
Thank you!

The “CITV Breakdown 1996 (MOCK)” video has disappeared from this channel!

@@Xamiakass Np! Glad I could at least point you on the right track!
Good luck on your adventures!
Need more then one core on the vm really otherwise it will underperform
Good shout; that was probaly also the reason for the glitches.etc
Will keep that in mind for the next video.
It's you-bun-too, or ooh-bun-too, not u-bin-too! I'll excuse your perhaps Sussex/Southern accent?
@@benbrist Yeeeah my bad aha.
I've always pronounced it as 'ooh-bin-too' XD
