- π§ Dive into my Linux journey as I share my fortnight long experience transitioning from Windows to the open-source world. In this video, I initially explored Garuda Linux for a week, encountering both successes and challenges. Now, I've made the switch to Nobara Linux, and I'm ready to share my impressions!
π Discover what worked seamlessly, what posed challenges, and how this Linux lifestyle compares to my previous Windows experience. From software compatibility to user interface adjustments, I'll walk you through the highs and lows of my switch.
π οΈ Explore the differences in functionality, customisation options, and overall user-friendliness between Grauda and Nobara Linux. I'll discuss the aspects that influenced my decision to switch and how it has impacted my daily tasks.
π€ Did Linux live up to the hype? What surprised me, and what didn't quite meet my expectations? Join me on this Linux adventure as I share my thoughts, reflections, and tips for those considering a similar switch.

I just switched to Nobara from Windows 11 last week. Good luck on your Journey!!
Updated video coming shortly. still very much running nobara. Over a month now, my longest linux stint
Nice video. It's interesting to see how others do when making the switch to Linux. I tried a few different distros as I wanted something that would make it easier to set everything up for gaming and eventually settled on BigLinux which I really love. I did try Nobara but I found that it wasn't for me although I'm certainly taking advantage of Proton-GE etc as the dev has provided us with many goodies that make life easier. Also nice to hear another Scottish accent π
Why thank you π. Proton is a life saver, the steam deck did wonders pushing the development of gaming in Linux. It's been amazing , nothings perfect but getting close now
The only thing that holds me to call Nobara a perfect distro is the system version upgrade process. It's not just one click - you need to use terminal and it makes problems sometimes.
Yup buggered going from 39 to 40 myself since it now uses whatever ones the supported desktop thing, gnome or KDE, i dint have the right one and it screwed up all my menus and login etc, and then had loads of issues with cetian apps for steam game streaming
Yes Nobara is one of my favorites, but I feel that Manjaro and KDE Neon are also the best, stable and fast distro at least for a KDE lover I am :) And works so far on any hardware I put it on...
So far loving it, anything that hasn't worked hasn't been to bad to get working. Quite happy with the switch
Ive used manjaro in the past and it was by far one of the most unstable distros I've used. It broke every 3 updates. When it worked it was good but it didnt work often for me. Garuda Linux is my go to.
NIce, i defo enjoyed my time with garuda, but 100 percent feel nobara is alot more polished in the feel of it@@bpomp22
Good. I've been wanting to do this
Have you taken the plunge yet ?
@@mrsteve2441 Win11 on my Asus laptop was infuriating me for quite some time, I did plan on installing Nobara but for now I decided to put Win11 on it again. I've been using PCs since 2009 and there was one time when I did switch to mint but then I had to go back since it was a shared laptop. Now I want to switch to Nobara but the thought of setting up all the softwares I use is stopping me. Btw, how do you install drivers for linux? I use snappy driver installer on windows get all the drivers
@@mrsteve2441 funny I swear I wrote a reply 3 hours ago but it isn't here
@@mrsteve2441 anyways, I did switch to mint 2 years ago but then had to switch back to Win10 because I had to give to someone else. I've been fortunate enough to have installed OSes, and other softwares and configured countless PCs and laptops belonging to different kinds of people. So I know I can survive in the Linux environment if I gave a try. I have my own laptop now, I have downloaded Nobara, but I'm hesitant in switching because I just clean installed Win11, and I am lazy to set things up again
@@mrsteve2441 it got deleted again
I have run Linux mint for the last 3 years. I have made the decision to try NobaraLinux as I'm having challenges gaming for the last 6 weeks. I have found with a Linux Mint OS Nobara linux will not load at all. I have tries for 3 days so far. I made the decision to replace my memory, install windows and from a windows base try again.
Defo odd, maybe the boot device wasnt the right format, i used ventoy when i done mine, that way i just need to fire whatever distro image onto the flash drive, no fuss, then boot to the usb and it just works, i had issues using rufus and other bootable flash drive options. But for the time being im back on windows for a little stint for work based stuff.
i do not remember how many times i tried to switch linux. but everytime i try it i'm going back to windows because of performance issues.
i love to use linux on servers. it feels so good you feel like touching hardware with bare hands. '
but i hate using linux on desktop because it always feels running someting on a vm.
I don't think I've had any issues on any distro tbh and I use mine to game
@@Crecross do you get same performance while watching youtube videos
Yeah I had a similar experience in the past, but this time looks like it's sticking. We run different distros on servers at work, but at home something always wouldn't work for me and I just abandoned shit
I had multiple previous, even this time I've had a few but alot less than previous attempts
How do you mean the same ?. Videos play fine at 4k on brave if that's what you mean
I tested it. I would only recommend it if your number 1 focus is gaming. Otherwise Linux Mint is better in any way. Although I liked how quick and easy it was to turn on foreign language input methods (preinstalled). The German translation of the OS itself was horrible though. As a German you could just as well switch it to English in the first place.
Defo handy for being a gamer, but trying to just move as a windows user, sometimes is hard, I've attempted this a few times, jumping distros, some working with some stuff then not with others etc. but it was easy to install. And use. So for that I can recommend it to a beginner, even my partner is having a go and so far no complaints, and she struggles with the TV remote π
I think Linux Mint is super easy to use when you flee from the catastropy which is Windows. I had never used Linux and switched to Mint with zero problems. It was mostly easier and more comfortable than Windows.@@mrsteve2441
Why putty on linux?
cause i clearly dont know what ssh programs with savable sessions are comparable yet :(
@@mrsteve2441 what exactly are you saving? ~/.ssh/config might cover your needs

Funny how everybody wants to make videos on "distro", but no videos on actually using Linux for work.
Because unless making videos for RUclips is your work, making a video just to prove something is called a distraction. Linux isn't for everyone, people should use what works for them, if that's Linux great, if it's windows great, if it's osx great, use what works for you, just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean someone else isn't working and being productive in it and vice versa. People should use what works for them.
Whilst I'm more of a noob in the Linux world, I thought I'd document my little journey, but I do use Linux for work, not as my main distro, but we have docker which runs some stuff, some DNS servers running bind9 etc, so I think In a work environment it's more server side than user side.
That's a cracking reply, I'm trying Linux again, but have no massive issues with windows, use it at work most days, as well as having windows virtual machines etc. I'm using whatever works for the task, and the flexibility of all rather than being forced into one is great π¬
Because most real use shit takes agaes to do in linux.. I spin 2 servers on ubuntu but when you need something quickly done on linux its a total chore and takes forever... Theres always issues dependencices and random crap.. On win its point click done and go to dinner with your wife type of thing..
Also alot to be said for this reply. @@sale666
