You don't have to use ChromeOS with account. You can login as a Guest without Google account. Basically local account.

I just bought a high end Thinkpad, but Windows 11 fucked it so I am thinking of upgrading from 11 to 19.

Windows Tiny is an option?

Just don't install W11 stay on W10 or change to Linux mint or Debian 12

Well most dangerous cheat (paid version) are now running at krenel lv, It's game of cat and mouse for anti cheat dev vs cheat dev for many years. If you really like the game, It's recommended to own a second PC for online gaming only, no need to be a powerful one, unless it's AAA online game you're playing, you'll be save that way.

I think the idea to have kernel level anti-cheat is just a bad idea overall... I'm sure there are cleaver ways to do it without compromising the players computers security / stability... like server side anti-cheat powered by AI to detect fraud plays... sure, we lose instant cheat detection, but I think the pros far surpass this downside

good question. in every possible way. it is not an operating system anymore. very soon it will be subscription based. very soon you will have to pay for using your computer that you bought. PS: i don't think Microsoft will drop OEM keys right away. most probably OEM keys will come with PC at the store. and if you installed Windows from ISO there is will be subscription instead of key activation

You are the first person who has said that programs can be installed on an external drive. If I am understanding you. I am newish to Linux, I've played with it from time to time through the years but last week I bought a laptop and installed Ubuntu on it. I also got an external hard drive thinking that the internal drive isn't that big and that I would install programs on that instead of the internal drive. BUT everyone says that it isn't possible on Linux. AM I understanding you that it can be done?

Malware, Adware, search doesn't just search your computer files only, it also search the Internet which is a fail. Went to Linux Mint and never looked back

Cool, well-spoken exposé i'm also rather unnerved by how pervasive, and indeed *accepted* mass surveillance is now. I am curious to hear what you think about text chat filtering in mp games, do you have a problem with that too? i ask bc it's been quietly established as the status quo alongside kernel-level hardware access

Nuked your drive....you are one of us 😎

It will suck and get better then it will suck again. Such is the windows way

Timeshift worked pretty well for me

WARNING Timeshift EXCLUDES your Home and root files by DEFAULT.

To be exact Home folder 5:45 is just users folder just like in linux home forlder where downloads and desktop files lies in windows there is an user folder in which there is download and desktop folder , and when you mount a folder , you just mount it to a folder and it may seem like an partition in your file manager but it is mounted in a folder (is that right?)

I like that you admit to borking your system! Backups are essential. Everyone has (or will) have a HDD/SSD failure or bork their drive one day. It only takes one key press!!

If you have a server running, you could use urBackup. Would love to hear your thoughts on that one. Good video. And thanks for all the useful tips.

Thank you for this

I use Linux Mint. I have told friends about it. I love it. I just so happen to be using it now.

12:56 Linux is part of a full Operating System, the full operating systems that use Linux and are bundled and distributed are called Linux Distributions. They generally work like Unix. Some don't have basic Unix functionality like being able to install Linux/Unix programs ie Android and ChromeOS so they are sometimes not considered Linux Distributions. Many work much like Unix which is great and also have a GUI so they can make a great alternative to Windows.

12:26 Chrome OS flex has NO support for Android apps you basically can not install ANYTHING on it. It has basically ZERO support for installing additional programs. It is pretty crappy. Technically I guess you can install PWA apps but THAT'S IT! Basically it's just a web browser and that's pretty much it!

You CAN install the old games that came with Windows 7, there blacklisted but there is a link to modified versions and instructions on how to modify them. One option is install Winaero Tweaker which has links to install the classic Windows apps including Minesweeper. You also want to get ShutUp10 to disable telemetry.

0:46 The 6th is 3rd party ads. Like the deceptive ads in the Start Menu of Windows 11. You forgot that one. There's more too. Like the new blacklist that blocks some 3rd party programs. And forced obsolescence where Windows 11 doesn't run on hardware that is not really really new unless you hack it to.

all you need is ring zero logs which are uploaded to blockchain encrypted, these can then be retrospectively inspected using encryption keys by trusted parties

Now? It's been sucks since Windows 8 got released

Of course they're selling your data. You can't opt out. And if you try to sue them, it's hidden in like page 2,355 paragraph 4 that you agreed to it so they can win in court. This stuff should be illegal.

Just did the switch today, watching this from Linux Mint XFCE :)

on libre office if you just installed Linux mint edge LibreOffice needs to be updated. that means you need to uninstall it and reinstall the new one so you can keep up with Windows

think you're the only channel that has actually told people the truth about Linux mint. there are so many of them out there that compare the old Lennox men to Debian they don't compare it to Linux mint edge, great job!

The account can be skipped, but I let windows years ago when they started to treat my privacy like they own me.

I guess my question is that if Kernel Level Anti-Cheat is the most effective way to stop cheaters, but we don't think that it is... How do we prove that? and more importantly, How do we implement a better Anti-cheat? I'm not playing a game with cheaters, that just sounds like a bad time. I like having fun playing games. What are different ways that aren't Kernel Level Anti-Cheat that Devs can add to their game that are as effective as Kernel Level Anti-Cheat?

Let’s take it a step further. Linux mint is built off of Ubuntu which is backed by a big company (I forget the name) and could cause Ubuntu to go under if that company decided to stop supporting it. The Linux mint Debian edition distro is built off of Debian which is pretty stable and backed by thousands of volunteers. Debian is not going anywhere anytime soon. Linux mint Debian edition is going to be more stable and more reliable because of that.

We don't want kernel level anti-cheat but we need a solution for it (which we currently don't). Look at Valve new CS2 full of cheat or even before CSGO. Look at Valorant and even other CSGO servers which used kernel level anti-cheat. You can always feel confident in no cheaters when playing valorant or FACEIT CSGO but CS2 full of cheaters.

Are u mutahar's lost brother?

GameGuard: "I crashed!" Helldivers 2: "I dont care! We need him on the battlefield!" **starts without GameGuard**

From a concerned apple EU user message was funny af, how is it more secure for multi billion company who wants your money only and want to keep you stupudly in their ecosystem and definetly have more tracking too you just dont see it... and as those are coming from EU people... i am concearned... for future if even EU people suck apple this much, i dont want to blame average user but cmon.... you have to be certain kind of stupid to advocate for this and go against the regulations of scummy companies imposed by EU and you are EU citizen... Edit: apple's high security yea yea its not more secure then android chief i hate to break it to them only reason people think that is because its closed as fuck, that doesnt make it secure just makes it "we can ship whatever we want you dont know it. apple ships trackers too you just dont see them being discussed because everyone believes its secure and not spying on you haha thats a funny argument and belief.

Yes

Make a server side anti-cheat instead, even Valve did it, and it's less intrusive.

I've been using Linux mint for years as my main driver and never had a hick up , it has never frozen , no death screen , no nothing . Adobe creative suit and Microsoft office both work perfectly installed via WINE . For gaming STEAM supports pretty much everything now and emulators are finally working fantastically . If you want to break free and forget about headaches my recommendation is Linux Mint. I know , I know , it's scary at first but community support is 24/7 and 99"% of the cases just pop your question on Google and first result is usually the answer . Customization is literally heaven , so you can have the coolest looking environment and still enjoy an operative system stable , robust and secure .

My prediction on how the situation will improve is that games that requires high system trust should be run in their own virtual machine which is protected from the rest of the system, use attestation to prove that the vm isn't compromised or running in another vm of a cheater. Some of Windows's new security features have done similar things, but nothing specifically intended for protecting games and making it easy for the average user. Now, a buggy anticheat kernel driver can only affect the virtual machine of the game and not the rest of your system. The kernel driver is not able to access all of the hardware of the computer, but only what the hypervisor exposes to it. This also addresses your concern about the anticheat being able to affect or see what you are doing that is unrelated to the game.

Nothing that is not necessary for your system to run should have LvL 0 Kernel access, And video games are not one of those...

It kills me how similar your setup, topics, and looks are sooo similar to mutahar 😂. I'm pretty sure he has that exact same shirt and desk.

the only good side to these would be if they stopped cheating, but they fucking dont. people will STILL CHEAT NO MATTER WHAT

Yes. there you go I just saved everyone 17:35sec

Kernel-level anticheat is defeated by kernel-level cheats, and the latter are only going to propagate more the more the former propagate. So, you are potentially compromising your machine at no greater benefit to your playing experience. The only way you can avoid being affected by cheaters is if you don't play those games or play them on LAN exclusively.
