I would have to say that your experience of using windows for 5 years and not having a windows update brick your system is probably pure luck. At work we deploy updates to a test system first and if it doesnt brick anything then we push it out to client pc's because we have had on a few occasions where a update just wrecks the system.
Win11 is such a mess. On daily basis is feezing. Already had in 1 month 2 times a blue screen and i am using a brand new Lenovo Ideapad Ryzen. Switching at the moment back to linux.
Same here...tests systems works fine and when you release the update for production the hell gets loose...I use Ubuntu in many servers and some internal machines that don't are "M$ Dependent" since Ubuntu 14.04 and they are beign upgrade since the day they were installed and we have no issues at all. And of these machines, the desktops had all NVidia cards (with different models), no issues at all. Probably (the NVidia issue from the video) was related to another package issue/dependency that he probably removed (he just need to push the logs from apt). Best regards.
I have to say on one hand I completely agree with the stance you take in this video, on the other hand I feel that there was one aspect of the Linux deskop that makes it perfect for me that you didn't really touch on, and that aspect is the openness and strength of the terminal. I understand that in windows things like PowerShell and the command prompt exist but they really aren't something that every user will use, that's the main difference between windows and Linux: windows is based on attempting to make everything easy with gui, Linux is about allowing you to do exactly what you want to do. I understand that the terminal is probably not something you would want to learn or maybe it was just something you didn't want to talk about, but as a long time user of Linux I can say that the terminal is what makes it worth it. Being able to do virtually anything from one window is a gift I could never give up.
Hi, I regularly use the terminal on Linux. However, this is an aspect of Linux I can get without actually running desktop linux via WSL. WSL actually came out around the same time I moved back to Windows and this was one of the things that really made Windows my go-to platform.
You mention Wayland. It doesn’t work for me. I’m visually impaired and use Ubuntu 22.04 and Libreoffice, with magnification factor 6X or more. With the first keystroke, the Writer screen jumped to the top, sending the letters typed partially or completely to a position below the bottom of the screen. An Ubuntu engineer suggested I switch from Wayland to the decades-old X11. When I did, the Writer problem went away.
I was having trouble with resizing disks too, I'm pretty sure it's an error with the gnu utility that used by most major distributions, the fix for me was actually opening it in gparted Wich is usually a lot more reliable

It's crazy how bad the NVIDIA drivers are. Never buying their stuff again
