... linux runs everywhere... hardly a 4% marketshare lool....

I use windows 11 on an I914900KF/RTX4090/128Go DDR5 and it's working fine. What's the matter with Microsoft ? I've tried Manjaro linux and Ubuntu and this is not working better from what I've seen.

Linux is better except in running windows programs. If wine could run dot NET 6, latest MSO, Adobe, games and so on all on gold level then much more users would switch. Because at the end of day it's incompatibility with windows programs that prevents many users from switching. And for many of them LO or Gimp isn't the solution. So in that sense I even kinda feel sorry for all those who have poured a ton of effort in making linux UI more user friendly. Personally I have never considered any linux UI not to be user friendly so that's not the problem that needed fixing. If all that same effort was put in Wine instead then I'd guess there would be even conversions from windows to linux than all the UI improvements combined could ever achieve.

Thanks for the really interesting content.🙂

Linux is growing!

Buying/Installing a floppy drive in 2004? Really?? Linux was booting off CD's well before Microsoft came to the party bud. I was installing Redhad and Caldera in the late 90's via CD with minimal effort. The Pacman game embedded in the installer of Caldera is still one of the best memories EVER to installing any operating system. :)

>not needing to open a terminal Thats the problem with you noobs, you boneheads are scared of terminals. Its not hard to use a goddamn terminal, and its not hard to install packages through them. Oh wait you use Fedora, yeah noob level linux users only use distros that hold their hand like Microshit does.

There's No Need To Run Windows Unless A Program You Need, Won't Run On LINUX. Thank You.

making open office better would help me.

One other thing. Windows may be the majority of Desktops. but Linux is the majority of servers.

Bruh I literally switched to Linux yesterday because neither of my machines meet the "minimal requirements" to upgrade to newer Windows versions, despite still being able to play modern games, and there hasn't been a "great" Windows since 7. I *could* invest in a whole new system that can run 11... but why would I want to? This is 2024, nobody has money. 😂 I wanna keep using my hardware if it's still usable. Especially when they'll inevitably end support for Windows 11 in 3 years to make way for 12. So what's the point of even trying to keep up with Windows these days? I found myself thinking, "Huh... I can't be the only one who's come to this conclusion, right? What if this is the time for Linux to take off?" And now I see this video. 😂

I love Linux I only use windows to develop for windows and Nvidia drivers

I keep a copy of Linux installed on at least one old computer such as a Core 5 notebook that I put a SSD in. It runs as good as my windows machine. I only use the browser anyway.

I switched to Linux recently. It didn't stick. I got everything working except surround sound and my water cooling hardware. I got the water hardware working passed through to a VM, but that sucks. There is no workaround for the surround sound though.

TH-cam is full of these videos, however, as an IT pro, Linux still isn’t there. Sure if you are a student or simply need a machine for doing your banking then fine but 90% of the business tools and apps required to work are either not there or don’t work, the answer to this is then always VMs or apps like wine, which is crazy fidley for the vast majority

FYI, it's pronounced oo-boon-too, NOT oo-bun-too.

In Uruguay all public schooling uses linux, from primary to university

“Pre-write a transcript” a script sir

Welp, guess I'm subbing. I'm glad you got straight to point. Linux Mint user myself. Windows is 100% Bloatware nowadays

What LINUX -Distro should I switch??

linux needs better implementation of wine with the creative workload apps for the transition to take place or devs like blender mkers to make a good opensorce application for that competition

It genuinely blows my mind anybody was using windows past windows 7.

I been a debian linux for years, but I'm noticing linux has flaws to even being breached by foreign actors "china" Microsoft and mac isnt the only companies that have flaws. Maybe haiku os can also be a alternative.

C'mon people - do we really want Linux to have major market share for desktops for the masses? It will start getting dumbed down user friendly for all the idiots. Then we'll be back to square one with " Winux ".

I would like a document on Linux.

Linux will rise when all the games and emulators work on linux is a fact windows users are gamers the big part linux need good nvidia driver with dlss and hdr

I think when Bottles is able to run more and more Windows apps it will help ease the transition to Linux by those abandoning Microsoft. There's a similar kind of project that is nowhere near the level of development yet called Darling where Macintosh apps can be run inside Linux. Neither involves installing a copy of Windows or Mac OS in a virtual machine or some other way where the whole OS has to be installed. When they can get it so these apps can be run inside Linux seamlessly without going through an in-between app (such as launching the Windows app from inside Bottles) I think Linux adoption will spike. The greatest barrier for many is needing some specific Windows or Macintosh app where there is no good equivalent that's native to Linux or needing to work with others who require that app. Other than that the other barrier is not having many computers sold, especially in brick and mortar stores, with Linux already pre-installed like it is with Windows or Mac OS. That's enough of a friction point where most people are unwilling to install it on their own.

The last 20 years have been held annually under the slogan "This year will be Year of Linux"

Im happy if Linux user data stays under 10% and "Unknown" users go up. You know they use Linux but they care about their personal data.

at this very moment I'm finishing creating backups to switch once and for all to linux. All my apps and many games will also be working. but microsoft is dead to me at least when it comes to the operating system. I will even switch to linux on my mobile phone. UbuntuTouch looks promising and therer are other one or two others. Yet the ubuntu one looked best so far.

Just switched to Linux mint 21.3 (done it before to try out Linux Mint). This time I am going to stick with it as it has become blindingly obvious that Microsoft really don’t want any user to feel that they ‘own’ their own PC. Linux Mint is now so easy to use that anyone can use it with some experience of using a windows PC. The Linux Mint forums are full of people busting to help newbies, so just do it.

How about a video series teaching Windows (and Mac?) users how to switch to Linux?

Lol, Microsoft just licensed their AI to Apple. Linux is irrelevant without an integrated world class LLVM

I think you got your dates wrong in the thumbnail. You should have meant 1985 - 2006. That was the true beginning of the end.

If Microsoft is serious about ending free support for Window 10 and requiring new hardware for Windows 11 then there are 10's of millions of people who have to make a choice. Trash their computer or put Linux on it.

im grateful for windows 11, it made me install Linux (now my main preferred os) I am even using Linux mint as of now on a old laptop and its smoother than ever before.

No drivers for Dolby (Atmos); no solutions to connect iPod.

Microsoft helped me to make the switch - by porting dotnet, Visual Studio & SQL Server. It was the only thing keeping me on Windows.

Worth noting with microsofts revenue, office subscriptions, gamepass etc all go down if linux adoption goes up.

i wouldnt go that far. Linux still have so many issues. Just the usb 3.0 is a problem for many people.

I just switched to Mint...I'm never going back

Nope. Rise of Windows. Linux is still not usable for many ppl

Manuscripted videos are almost always much more concise and informative than unprepared presentations. I use to recommend to my (programming) pupils to write a manuscript and speak from it if they're unsecure. It is always good for the presentation to have a manuscript in the case that you forget what to say, even if you make a "script-less" informal presentation. With time the presentations get much better and more informal in tone. Keep doing it the way you do!

Most people primarily use web apps which are hosted on primarily linux servers, so one can argue that most people use linux on a daily basis regardless of platform. To put it another way - electron wrapped apps and web browsers are both essentially a thin client to access linux in many cases.

I am on a gentle schedule to be totally Linux by end of Win10. WIN11 is NSA spyware combined with total data harvesting for commercial use in addition to ads. WTF?

Windows 8.1 was rubbish and made my 10-year-old laptop worse. It couldn't stream HD video or even load Reddit. I put Linux Mint on it a few weeks ago. It can now stream HD video and load Reddit. It's also faster than Windows 8.1, using 0.6 GB less RAM on idle. It's proof that Windows is just glorified bloatware.

Since you know a lot about linux and you are a pro.. what linux version do you recommend for gaming and daily use ? Fedora Linux Or Garuda Dragonized Linux?

I use Arch, btw.

I enjoy LM but remember the desktop share is abundant with sheep. MS will continue to herd them & neither side will care.

Ceeate a dual boot. Windows for games. Linux for everything else. 😊
