    The biggest thing I see common when I hear a Linux fanboy saying "anyone can install Linux". I think of the times I've "fix" families computers and see on r/computerhelp because they enable notifications to random sites, and get notification bomb saying they got a virus. My grandpa told me "McAfee" is notifying him he has a virus and other "AV" telling him he has a virus.
    That's a typical average user. If they believe their web browser can scan for viruses then they can't install Linux on their system

    Operating system usage is just another form of identity politics these days. It's part of intersectionality for a lot of people who see it as one checkbox on their whole life/worldview and public facing identity. The amount of people who use it because Linux improves their workflow seems to be a lot smaller than the people who do it for a cause, cult-like.

    I dual boot Linux and Windows I see pros and cons of both. I have known a person who wasted a lot of money replacing very new GPU and PSU on a Linux install. I told him that I would install Windows 10 on a old spare drive and see if the issues were still there. He would not, and it later turned out to just be a driver issue with the GPU. It turned out alright though as the parts were later used to make a second PC.

      I won't say that I've never fallen victim to a trap like this one, but I learned, dusted my breeches off and went on. GPU drivers in Linux can be a source of some pain, especially for Nvidia cards I tend to favor. It takes a while for the drivers for Linux to drop sometimes. As Marvin the Martian might say, "Delays, delays..."

Do you honestly think most Linux users are running it because they can't afford something else? PUH-leeeze!"
      There's a bit to unpack here so let's address that last point first. I'm sorry you took the mistaken impression that I think "most Linux users are running it because they can't afford something else." I was speaking from _my own experience, and my own viewpoint,_ as the last two sentences in my previous to you bear out. It's not that I _couldn't afford it_ -- I _did_ afford it for quite some time, and decided _I was tired of paying for something that I had to keep repairing anyway._ People have their own reasons for choosing Linux over Windows. Cost is certainly a factor for me, but there are other factors that really swung the decision, too, among them _reliability._
      If, as you imply, the price of an operating system is not a concern for you, all I can say is it must be nice to make enough money that you feel you can afford to waste it on Windows and its attendant baggage. Me? I grew up in the Projects, in a single parent situation. Most of my life I struggled to make ends meet, to provide for my family, and to just live as best I could. When I got to the point I could afford better, I chose _what I had already found to be better for my use case - Linux._
      I have been and still am an A+ since 2003. I did computer repair and support on the side starting in 1981. I still support customers who run Windows, and I tell 'em all up front that Windows issues are what make up the majority of my repeat business. I am asking my customers who wish to migrate to Windows 11 to look deeply into the matter if they care about their privacy, the data they produce, and all the recurrent costs of "software as as subscription" that are baked into Windows these days.
      I hope I have answered your concerns, and that you will have a better understanding of my point of view.

    No anger here. The main objections I have to Windows started with Licensing 6.0 and the ushering in of Software as a Service. I had heard about Linux, and tried it in 1996. I saw a vision of my future, free from SAAS and other such schemes. Over the years, I've become comfortable with what I use, and constantly amaze folks with the work I do on my Linux systems. Now I'm retired, and still running Linux. It's that simple. I am systemd-free because I choose to be for my own reasons. (Systemd is a Red Hat product, man.)
    I tell folks about Linux mainly when they see my systems and ask about what they are running. A few of them have switched, mainly on the basis of the merits. Some of them have switched back. We're still friends.
    I agree wholeheartedly with you about all the anger lately - it's like there's something in the water. I get angry, too -- I'm only human. I do try to keep it real, though.

    Yeah, well this is the "Kent hates Linux" channel so the rant is no surprise.
    I won't go into all the reasons why people end up stuck on Windows rather than using Linux though the endless cries of "Linux is so hard to use, it's only for techies" messages on every post on how Linux is EASY to use actually counts for a lot. Scare tactics, alas, work. I am reading a lot of people who have switched who state they were kept away by the endless claims that Linux was a terminal driven experience.
    However, one of the main reasons people are not using Linux as much as they could - for free - is simply that they do not know about it. I mention Linux and people go "What?"
    When I show, they are amazed.
    What is happening is a number of factors that ARE pushing people to Linux now. It's a combination and screaming the desktop use figures do not mean anything is rich given the Windows fanbois have been laughing at Linux desktop share for years from the same sources. Fact is, Windows share is dropping, Mac usage is dropping and Linux desktop share is rising and rising steadily. It's also interesting to note when we get spikes in Linux desktop use like Microsoft's announcement of Windows 11 and insane hardware requirements people cannot afford to meet, Recall being accounced, data shifted over to OneDrive without consent, Recall will not be able to be deactivated... Each moment of 'Microsoft abuse' has led to a leap in Linux desktop use.
    I hold that Linux is on the rise as:
    1) It is a usable OS for Average Joe contrary to Kent's endless rants.
    2) More and more people are getting to hear about Linux and can see videos on it being used, and boot from USB and see how Mint is all GUI and not typing lots of commands to get things done.
    3) Microsoft abuse reached switch over pain levels driving many techies towards Linux.
    4) Ever increasing cost for hardware for both Windows and Mac is forcing people to seek the only affordable alternative.
    5) Oh, Valve's work with Proton is also helping as well.
    People have comfort zones and Windows has been the comfort zone for so long it's the default. But when you have to buy a new laptop for Windows 11 and will have to buy ANOTHER machine for Windows 12 with a NPU... people cannot cope.
    I know. I'm the one giving them Linux. And very happy they are too.

      Dude, nobody gives a shit. I wonder what would you Linux users do if Windows was not around. You would have to find something else to hate, probably Mac. All you talk about is Windows this, Windows that. Use whatever you like and stop moaning. As for reasons for not using the Linux: 1. Audio quality is shitty, it was always like that and still is 2. Problems with drivers and their quality, because you can't have most of proprietary drivers from manufacturers like in Windows. 3. Lack of professional software for audio and video editing, those you have in Linux is simply not good enough 4. Same goes for programmes like AutoCAD, no good Linux alternative 5. Solving problems can take hours, 90% of people don't have time for this, people have jobs and family and don't want to waste their time 6. The most important: There's no standardization in Linux, you have dozens of distros and desktop environments, no standard for package management solution and many other things. No unification, no strategy and vision for the future how Linux desktop should look.

      I personally do not hate Windows. I like CHOICE. Microsoft eliminated choice. Microsoft FORCED Windows upon us with many an illegal practice.
      Choice is a bad thing?
      In regards to Windows... as a technology it's nothing like as bad as it was - but likewise Linux. Only Windows users stay locked in time on Linux and describe it like it was in 1999. Now I am aware of the limitations of Linux and why I do not recommend it for certain use cases. However, for the VSt majority of users, no really, Linux is more than enough and for free. TH-cam creators run studios. they are locked in and cannot use Linux. But the vast majority of people are not running pro-studios. In fact, most users just, and I quote "Do Google." You could give yer average laptop use a Chromebook and they would be happy now.
      The issue I have is that monopolies lead to abuse and what do we have no from Microsoft? Masses of abuse. Forced hardware upgrades, Recall which is total spaying in a can, massive telelmentry, which cannot be turned off because the next update will override attempts to stop it. Data copied over to OneDrive without consent. Ads in the UI... and it goes on and on.
      Monopolies are BAAADDDD! I value Linux because it prevents landfill! I also welcome BSD, tho it is not ready for the desktop at all. Unlike Linux with BSD you really DO have to drop the terminal to do critical stuff like install software. Anyway, I like CHOICE! I'd welcome any number of OS's that will do the job. Bring back GEOS! Choice is good! Well, it always used to be.

I've used Linux occasionally in the past but switched back to Windows and i am satisfied and will continue using it in the future. It's not about terminal or Linux complexity. Learning terminal is not that hard, I've used Termux on Android and i already knew basics. As for complexity, Gentoo, Arch and Nix OS are not for beginners but you can also learn basics. It's all about lack of professional software and proprietary drivers, problems with screen tearing, audio problems etc. As for Windows, you can remove all bloatware with unattended. xml install and than disable 90% of telemetry with tools like O&O shutup. I have Windows 10 installed on old machine with 4 GB RAM and it's working great. Using 35-40% RAM idling, about 60% under workload. It runs perfectly fine and supports all software that i need. 4 years without reinstall, stable and without any significant problems. That's what most of the people wants.

Novelty records always top the charts but not because they are good but because it panders to the less intelligent people in society.
    The song living next door to Alice reached 35 in Australia when it was originally released and number 3 when re-released in the UK. Then a naff comedian added the words (Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice) to the same song and it went to number one. The neanderthal beings in the UK lap that shit up.

      Still watching the video. But if respectfully disagree. It depends on your use case.
      If you are using your computer for work (in an OS agnostic environment) or just internet/office use, and you do not need applications that has no or poor Linux support, or are not effortlessly used with a Wine GUI. One would generally not have issues on Linux.
      Generally most people, that have that use case, are not switching because of the inherent friction there is in understanding a new OS, plus the same experience for that use, works fine on windows. So why expend the trouble learning a new tool unless you experience something that really makes you look for something new? I don't know either.
      But yes. If you use your os for more advanced stuff, especially with applications with bad Linux support, ya in for some tinkering. And there I agree with you.

      Well if my windows install runs flawlesly why would i choose a atfom, that will 130% give me problems f?om the get go (nvidia, usb soind blaster external, logitech g29). All this works in windows with extra features and serves my gaming well. I see no sense in switching from windows. Recall and copilot on the other hand i do not want that piece of malware on my win install but Microsoft be like ultimate scumbags. So sooner or later ill be forced to switch, but it wont be anything unix and command line stuff...

      You may have good reasons for not switching to Linux - though MacOS is BSD so finding another 'not Unix' alternative is going to be interesting for you - but the command line is not one of them.
      BSD is reliant upon the command line, yes. But Linux is NOT!
      I use KDE. Installing softare - Discover.
      Changing settings - System settings with more control and config, and easier to access, than Windows. I know. I was just working with Windows 11. It was easier to hit the router. You can change the font hinting in the KDE GUI.
      File management - Dolphin.
      Unless you are using a specialist distro, Linux is command line free.
      I mention this because it always comes up that Linux is about typing masses of commands to get things done. Yeah, that was true circa 1999. Not so now.
      Like I say, you can go with what you like but the whole "command line" thing is a fiction, about as true as use of CMD in Windows.

    Why are the majority of web servers using Linux as their Os instead of Windows or Mac? Even Microsoft runs Azure on linux becuase its not only the standard but because it has a far better security model that Windows, Windows has a massive attack surface there are many techniques you can use in Windows you can't in any other major OS because of that. Even as mainly Widnows users the security model for Windows has been poor for many years, but it has improved and continues to improve but I would never trust a windows system out of the box compared to a linus system out of the box to run a server explosed to the internet.

      There are many reasons but two of the most obvious ones.... Linux is free and servers don't need a GUI.
      The desktop scene is very different, and that's what's being discussed here. The GUI is important, as is compatibility and market share. Bigger is better. There are too few Linux users to make it a viable desktop option. Additionally, Linux destop GUIs lag way behind the alternatives.

Windows has a poorer security model that only since Windows XP/NT did it try to made a good faith effort to fix but because of bad security practices becoming commonplace has lead to many programs needing admin access to run.

      History show in all market, that people will move to a better thing if it's out there. That's how VLC, audacity, OBS etc took over other not so good paid tools for creators on windows. OBS is the best example. before that many used paid bad product, and then people started to talk about OBS and it delivered in a great way, and it did no marketing or "forced" people in to use it. All it did was providing a better product! So yes people will move to a better product if it's out there. They do all the time.
      Oh and back before OBS, we where all told and "forced" to use other tools as it was what the big timers use etc.
