Sounds like damage control to me
I am mainly distro hopping my favorite so far is I am not gonna lie Linux Mint Cinnamon. It reminds me of older Windows by a lot. They got an app store to make it easy for software download for beginners. You feel at home similar to Windows and it basically is another just works distro.I am avoiding Manjaro and Deepin I heard rumors of them spying on their users. I don't know how much Deepin has improved but they CLAIM it's a Linux version of Windows 11 and works just like Windows it might as well be its own Operating System entirely I think it's Ubuntu or Arch based but I don't know.
@@bobmanmen5000 sadly people are thin skinned and kde users act like a cult of angry people but not like anyone reads this anyway
I gave you a subscribe and hope to see more videos man I didn't mean to make you hate me I am still freshly new to this because of Microsoft forcing people to sign into a Microsoft account it's not really your fault it's Windows.
@@Mattscreative what did kde users do? i have always liked kde, but have bounced between other options.
I don't get tired of saying this. It was you that made me switch from Windows and in a wayyyy long time actually be excited to do so. I am a Win nut, so plasma and KDE for me, but I also have Gnome and I totally understand your view. Used to think this was a puzzle of epic proportions and now with a metric ton of your help and others in the discord I do not miss windows at all and daily drive my Arch. You will always have my admiration on making everything seem effortless which to be honest ... it kinda is nowadays. Thank you.
your welcome. also if your in discord let me know your experiences so far
Windows is getting worse while Linux will only get better! 💪🐧
haha right
And vast majority of population will still use Windows. Like they did with Windows 7 when they didn't like Windows 10. They used it even after end of support. And now they'll do it with 10, when they stopped liking 11. Leaving Linux still in insignificant for hardware producers and software developers market share
Yep. There is this thing called Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, and as long as that lasts (which is to 2031) people would still use Windows then.@@paulj505
Microsoft is going to force the update again. More and more people are coming to linux
Microsoft has become corrupt and is overstepping their boundaries using their policies as an excuse to promote deceptive practices if you use Windows 11 be prepared to have your screenshots sent to Microsoft I am no where NEAR setting foot on Windows 11 24h2 it's time for a new CEO and to kick out the NSA or shutdown Microsoft. These forced TPM 2.0 requirements are uncalled for I refused to give up my computer and made the switch to Garuda Linux because Microsoft is using policies to bend the law which is ILLEGAL as fuck what they're doing. Also my contract with Microsoft has been voided after switching to Garuda they no longer have possession of MY COMPUTER with their deceptive policies it's time for Microsoft to face a class action lawsuit.
My AMD 6900 XT blazes in Linux. Its flawless.
same for my RTX 3070/4070
I am using Radeon RX 580 8G and I am getting blazing performance using the Garuda distro you guys will have a funtime controllers work out of the box and it makes an awesome SteamOS alternative emulator support lacks on mupen64plus so PLEASE install simple64 with the pacman command instead I need to report this to the Garuda team somehow and get ahold of them.
@@Mattscreative Would you recommend Radeon RX 580 8G it claims to support 8k and has an 8k HDMI output should I use a SmartTV or a monitor for gaming?
@@milesprowerxinfinity i like this kind of trolling, i say go for it :D
@@kaanyazici5766 Except I'm not trolling I am being for real. Computer monitors are limited to the quality SmartTVs can display and my GPU can project up to 8k even if it doesn't support ray trace Radeon RX 580 8G is a good mid range card. I am tempting to buy a gaming monitor I've seen some pretty small SmartTV displays with quantum displays and pretty descent OLED displays maybe one day we will get monitors and SmartTVs with AMOLED screens.
I like when windows guys complain about free and open software vs pay and close software, why don't you all donate to those developers that work for free to have working free program like gimp instead of been complaining about it, i'm sure all the photoshop user has a pirate version but complain about the free version, but they want something better without any donation, donate to help the developers, we all can create a new free and open world without micro$oft and photo$hop monopoly
Where is the windows guy? I use linux … you seem confused because these are common issues that most linux users have not just me by a long shot and opinion hasn’t changed since 1998 on the subject
Look don't distract FLOSS devs with cash. How are they supposed to code if they're out spending cash?
@@1pcfred 笑 笑 حَى حَى
Donate to devs who bicker and refuse to adopt common practices (in too many cases?) You're hilarious.
@@CloakTheLurker then learn to code.
AMD cards work very well on Linux. I've been gaming for months on Fedora (Currently Fedora 40) and doing quite well with both an AMD GPU and CPU.
Yeah, I don't understand that at all. If anything nVidia was horribly supported for years and still isn't as well supported as AMD. So no idea what he is talking about there.
they work ok i am around amd gpu users everyday and it's alot of issues as well since no gpu is perfect but for editing and rendering nvidia is just better cause of cuda
nvidia has been great the last 3-4 years on linux and 555 made it even better wayland has been great
@@Mattscreative are you're AMD user Friends Windows Users or AMD users of AMD GPUs older than the 400 series? Because that's why Microsoft works directly with Intel and Nvidia meanwhile AMD has to make due with the After Market Code of Windows. On Linux both have to deal with that because there is no Direct Team for anyone to work with. AMD on Linux also has an Entire Community making Drivers while Nvidia is still Closely guarding most of their Code So that's why on Linux Nvidia is not all the way there just yet. Old AMD GPUs also just suck regardless of if it's on Windows or Linux.
@@bobbypaycheque Nvidia was the first hardware manufacturer that ever supported Linux on the PC. That does not sound horrible to me. In fact it sounds unrivaled. To be first is quite a feat. Nvidia supports Linux out of sheer love. You don't think they actually turn a profit by supporting Linux, do you? I was hanging out with the Nvidia devs when they released the Nvidia binary driver for Linux. So I know how enthusiastic they were about it all. Were you?
6 years with Linux Mint after working with all versions of Windows. I'll never go back to windows! No crashes, everything works as it should, no bloatware to force me into buying a new computer every few years.
All my PCs/Macs (laptops and desktops) now run Limux Mint!
I am thinking of going back to Mint and scrapping Arch Linux I've just now noticed themes are breaking and nothing is working or being moderated I was thinking it was okay but something isn't right with the updates. I am only running Linux to avoid the wrath of Microsoft no hate no gloating or anything from me using Linux I just wanna play a damn video game man. At this point maybe stay on Windows 10 and play console games from growing up.
On the subject of KDE settings, I've always just used the search box to find the setting I want. I don't even read the sidebar. But I do the same in gnome too. Search tends to be faster for most things when it works properly. It's how I launch applications too, whether it's on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Drilling into menus with a mouse is glacial in comparison to just hitting a hotkey and typing what you want.
you shouldn't have to use search because it should be readable and usable out of the gate like gnome does it. i have seen people abandon kde because of the settings app
It's nice to see other Linux users dishin' out the Gnome love.
Gnome is my go to always
I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with KDE. I've been using KDE since my dad gave me a used Dell D600 laptop with Kubuntu on it. In fact, I'm typing this on KDE right now. I use KDE for work and personal use and never had the problems you describe here.
Been having this bad experience since kde 3 it hasn’t changed sadly
@Mattscreative I will only use KDE Plasma for the foreseeable future. GNOME and its developers are causing too many problems with Linux right now. Looking pretty doesn't necessarily make a good desktop. I'd much rather have countless features that I don't use than need a feature that's not there, and the developers refuse or bicker over adding it.
I watched gnome development and saw no issues being caused they’ve been very agreeable with most things that are happening and we’re waiting on a lot of Wayland pull request and the only thing that I’ve seen is wayland developers, causing problems and holding back important things for Linux that gnome and kde both need
@@Mattscreative Many of the Wayland developers holding things back are GNOME developers. Wayland is a consortium of developers from almost all of the different Linux desktops and windows managers. They all have to agree on request before it's added to Wayland. Usually (almost all of the time), it's a GNOME developer who doesn't want to implement something because GNOME doesn't want to support it in the future. It's usually a KDE developer that has to talk the GNOME developer off the ledge. Almost all of the progress on the Linux desktop in the last couple of years has been driven by the KDE Plasma project, in which some progress (like HDR support) has been driven by Plasma being the default for the Steam Deck.
@@Mattscreative I also want to caveat that while you are on year 1 or 2 of using Linux fulltime as your primary OS, I am on year 27. I've used both KDE (now KDE Plasma) and GNOME pretty much since their inception, and I have dealt with both of their development times a lot in the past to get bugs fixed and request new features. After dealing with someone or something for that long, the shine starts to wear off quickly and you start to see that person or thing for what it truly is. There is a reason that there are multiple GTK desktop ports (MATE, Cinnamon, etc). Many were constructed after a falling out with GNOME's development team. I think of GNOME as the Jennifer Lopez of Linux desktops. It's pretty and has a lot going for it. However, nobody wants to stay with it because it's a little too full of itself to sustain a lasting relationship. KDE Plasma is the one you keep, GNOME is the one you have a short-term fling with.
I've never had long render times on kdenlive personally but I don't render the same resolution of video that you do. I 100% agree that compared to DaVinci, Kdenlive is basically a linux port of windows movie maker. It's not a real editor
Haha
Yeah, both KDEnlive and OpenShot are very quick when you use GPU Encoding, at least if you use AMD or Intel GPUs. If you use NVIDIA, then you might have to install some propritary BS from them to use the hardware encoding. Let's hope that all the programms do switch to Vulkan Encoding soon, then they don't have to programm support for every graphicscard company anymore (Intel uses Quicksync, AMD uses VCN, NoVideo uses NVEnc, ...)
I can understand why people hate on gnome to be honest... It sometimes feels like running Windows on Linux. As you said, The most simple things are missing (eg. Accent Colors), and the customization to me feels almost worse as on Windows.
On the other Hand, That's the reason for why it is almost impossible to break Gnome. Which is actually pretty good if you just want a System that can do stuff, and you don't care about customizations that much.
And i think you are the first person who actually speaks up when it comes to KDE. It's a frickin mess. Like you said, rather than fixing their countless issues (eg. on multiple monitors windows will mostly open somewhere completely random), and it is just a pain to use. And the worst part is that every single time you say smt about that, everyone is like "Yea, That's a Niche issue tho"... Like no, in 2024 3 Monitors are everything but not niche. I feel like the KDE Devs are all using a Laptop from 20 years ago only.
I switched to Linux a couple weeks ago to CachyOS. Honestly seeing your desktops settings and how comfy and minimalistic your desktop and system customization are, im thinking seriously on switching to fedora. Love your content.
Thanks for sharing!
@@Mattscreative just a quick question. I am an AMD user who's a novice in Linux, in your setup to fedora gaming there's several steps which include Nvidia exclusive commands... Would my setup end up being almost the same if I skip those commands or I would need to search somewhere else? I appreciate any kind of help you may give.
@@user-if9fm8yy5t check Nobara for out of the box gaming tweaks
Thank you for sharing. I think what you are doing with your videos is fantastic. You give great examples. Though I might disagree on some points, that doesn't mater. How you are highlighting Linux and how it is viable, is what maters and I hope that you can continue your efforts.
Cheers!
Thanks for that!
I switched to Nobara and its a blast for me. Only thing i dont like is this whole HDMI forum controversy and that we only have HDMI 2.0 with AMD Cards.
Make me more happy I don’t have an amd card haha
Thanks man ☺️
Linux has improved a lot indeed! But let's be honest: Proprietary software always gets the latest features, exactly because it has money invested into it. FOSS and Open-Source are amazing, but will always lack that super bleeding edge!
Nice video, once more! 😊😊
thanks and true on the Proprietary software always gets the latest features part but nothing is stopping foss devs from Re-ing the work they do and adding it in
@@Mattscreative Yup! It's just a problem, when not enough wealthy people offer frequent sponsorships/donations to the projects. I've been using Blender 3D for 12 years, but I consider it to be the exception, not the rule.
And although many new amazing features arrive at the Open-Source software eventually, sometimes it really takes long!
No hatred of course towards either category whatsoever from my part. Personally, I use both Open-Source & Proprietary for my work/hobbies!
Do you know what OS supported 64 bit architecture first? I'll give you a hint, it was an open source OS that starts with the letter, L. Devs had it working in virtualization before the hardware was even released. Which is how they got it done first. So proprietary doesn't always get the latest features first.
Matt? What is the name of the Linux that you on this laptop an or desktop ?☺️
That Zelda's Lullaby at the beginning is majestic
Hell ya
Hey Matt love the channel. I had a question. I see your using cachy, which i love but just started to use, but do you use flatpak or deb apps? I use mostly for gaming.
I don't use debs or flatpaks
How do you get Adobe Photoshop working?
I use GIMP, Krita, inkscape or photopea online.
But I would like to use affinity photo or designer, but I can't on Linux.
Found your channel just as you were converting to Fedora, as I was browsing on my newly installed Fedora as a Windows user since birth lmao
Thank you Gaben for pushing Linux gaming more mainstream
It wasn’t gaben haha it was nvidia 555 that got me to ditch windows and GE and the rest of the community that made linux great
I've watched many of your videos and it seems you jump around alot, so which do you actually use is it arch or fedora?
umm cachyos Fedora 40 and Nobara 40 lol
@@Mattscreativeso an Arch Distro and 2 Fedora Flavors
your first video encouraged me to let windows behind, I don't know that much as you or as the average linux user but I want to learn, I was having trouble learning windows 11 anyway so.
glad you moved away from windows and welcome
This channel is the reason I am trying to transition to Linux, but so far its been extremely bumpy and fraught with problems. But I am determined to try and make it work, using Fedora 40 with KDE 6.1 Plasma. Gaming for me doesn't work at all, nvida gpu. weird boot issues I have not figured out. application wise, it just rips! Love that part of it. I hope I figure it out soon. I am dual booting windows on one HDD and Fedora on a separate drive to keep windows from breaking the Grub Booter and that has worked perfectly.
it's always bumpy the first time but after a while it smooths out
@@Mattscreative Well after watching some more videos I erased the drive and put F40 with Gnome. Got 1 game working with some good instructions for Nvidia. Getting there!
i am as well using linux for a month and have no regrets or thoughts comming back.
maybe i will have to dual boot if theone and liberty doesnt work on linux.
Nicely said
Someone's really gotta figure out this Photoshop alternative on Linux thing. I've swore off Photoshop more then a decade ago and decided to just use Gimp, instead. That hasn't worked out so well for me and lately I'm kinda getting tired of it. Gimp's just not getting much better even after all this time. Which is strange considering I also swore off 3d Max at the same time and decided to use only Blender, which was a wonderful decision in comparison as Blender in now industry leading software, while Gimp still rides the short bus.
Disagree with your take on AMD GPUs being useless. I use one. Everything important eventually gets ported to ROCM. Stable Diffusion, Chat GPT, Cycles all work on ROCM. I only lose out on weird experimental software and even that will probably change soon with CUDA to ROCM translation layers that are now open source.
just did a video on one
Thing that I love in linux is multitasking. after learning some sortcuts for workspaces and window management, multitasking feel easy and less distraction on linux.
I switch to linux cuz of you, it's been great so far, the only thing I hate is OBS, and I haven't looked into how Sammi core works in linux
What about obs can you write it out in my discord and maybe i can help
I my self quite happy whit Linux and hopefully it will become even better,also i cant wait for your future videos i want to learn as much as i can abut linux
Great to hear!
I will tell you the secret little grasshopper. The key to mastery is querying the system for the information you seek. It is all there. It is on you to just find it though. Learn your regular expressions. In order to seek you must use find, although locate works too. Just remember to run updatedb for any recent changes. Harness the awesome power of grep. Keep notes.
You should always use what works for you, not what others say you should use and if that's Gnome, use it. For me it's Xfce. MX Linux Xfce is my daily driver.
right!
guide on how you got photoshop?
maybe soon
@@Mattscreative please.. PS is one of the reasons I'm stuck on Windows.
2 weeks in thanks to your videos. I went Fedora KDE 40 my ONLY issue was the recent kernel update messed up my monitor (RX6700XT) BUT. a timely Timeshift resotre made it all better. I'll update the Kernel when they fix the issue. other than that. I am really happy
just boot an older kernel
Why do they have to fix it? Why don't you fix it? This ain't Windows. We'll let anyone work on the kernel around here. So that includes you. I mean how do you think it got messed up in the first place? Some knucklehead just like you screwed it up.
The views on Gnome versus KDE are very interesting, but justified. Especially since the "Linux influencers", if there is such a thing, give the impression that you're missing something if you don't use KDE 6.1
ALways saide "Linux is the future" and others always reacted "bruh, noooo" but today many ones are switching to Linux especially after Windows spyware scheme. Once again:
LINUX is the FUTURE
linux is some peoples future but not all
The main issue I've had in Linux is playing games remotely. My gaming rig is an HTPC. On Windows, using Sunshine to stream from the PC and Moonlight as a remote client worked pretty flawlessly. On Linux, Moonlight won't connect unless the TV the PC is connected to is powered on. Maybe a dummy DisplayPort plug would fix that issue.
maybe give it a try
Never mind I see it now Matt the cachyOS I’m trying to get use to cachyOS more I’m getting it on at external hard drive it’s pretty cool ☺️
You said your Heroic Games Launcher couldn't find your drive, did you correct mount your drive to a correct directory? If you had, you have to install a flatpak program called Flatseal which manages lots of permissions to flatpaks which are sandboxed by default, on the "Filesystem" section you will find this "Other Files", you have to add the correct permissions there so it can find your directories, i mostly activate only "/home", i do add another "other files" entry to my "/mnt" directory, you can be more specific and add only the drive you mounted example "/mnt/Files"
i changed the drive name and where it was mounted and didn't fix it so all good
Having to jump through all these ridiculous hoops to get basic functionality is why linux will never be first choice for anyone.
@@craigtrish2011 Dude, its a sandboxed application, its almost as if you are executing an isolated app into a secure environment, of course you have to setup which permissions and access the application has because you don't want to compromise your system. But after is setup, you are ready to go and its remembered, there is even a tool to backup all your flatpaks and restore it on a new install of a subsequent newer version of your system, instead of you reinstalling everything and configuring from scratch, you can reinstall all at once using one tool, it isn't ridiculous, its security...
It's great to see your opinions and experience on Linux. I think I'm one of a great many that are utterly sick of MS and want to use Linux, but I'm just unsure which distro etc to pick or how to get into it. Like the vast majority of people I'm a pc user, not a pc engineer or a software developer, meaning a lot of technical discussion is wasted on me :)
PS - I tried joining your Discord, but couldn't get through the double protection at start. The link consistently dropped a Timed Out error and there's no one to actually ask for help to sort, so for me it was an utter waste of time. Hopefully you can do something at your end to solve this. I'm using a stripped out and locked down version of Windows (re: Chis Titus) if that's of any help.
no thanks linux is my home and chris just stole that work from window digital forums devs
I'd recommend trying Linux out with what's called a live image. That way you don't have to install anything. Google Linux live image for more info what that's all about. I feel it's the best Linux introduction today. And do go crazy. Like run lots of different images. What you need is exposure and experience. While you're test driving Linux pay particular attention to software package management. Every Linux distro gets the software they have from the same places. What's different is how they package it. So on every distro definitely try installing new software. How you do that varies between distributions. Find the command line interface for it and mess with that. Don't just use GUI software centers. Being as you say you don't know which to choose I'll give you a list of a few you should try. Try Fedora, Mint and Arch. Those three will give you a good idea what the various flavors of Linux are like. That's all the major package management systems. RPM, DPKG and Pacman. RPM and DPKG are alike. They just use different commands to do the same things. Pacman is different.
I’m glad someone else is saying that open source software generally has dogshit UI. My buddy and I who both do light photo editing on occasion have both tried gimp and came to the same conclusion that it’s not worth the effort.
I hope gimp 3 changes that ui
HDR will be finished this year though (said by one of the main developers).
Plasma 6.2 is bringing a few last interesting features.
Ntsync for Wine is coming in Kernel 6.11.
I've been following Linux news for a long time and after this year I'll stop. Mission completed, even though I know Linux will just keep getting even better.
HDR better be frigging done lol haha and already been running ntsync as for kde i think i will give up for good and move on to better things
Hard disagree about KDE settings.
Windows settings were always a pain to navigate, and the KDE settings' search functionality makes it so I don't have to search with my eyes. As someone with reading disabilities, KDE is far ahead of GNOME and Windows for settings.
Edit: also, "modern" means nothing. It's a meaningless buzzword.
Modern meaning useable and doesn’t feel like pre windows xp era of software its only a buzz word if your trying to find excuses
@@Mattscreative Your definition of modern pretty much says "modern is what I'm comfortable with", which is subjective.
For laptops I find only i3 (and similar TWMs) to be useable, and that would mean it's modern by your definition.
The fact that you don’t understand what modern means pretty much sums it up about you I’m sorry
@@Mattscreative can you objectively define what "modern" means other than "characteristic or expressive of recent times or the present; contemporary or up-to-date"?
Something being "modern" doesn't mean it's good, and vice-versa.
You may call GNOME modern, I may call it manure.
You may also call i3 useless, but it's still the best setup I ever got on a laptop.
Now that's really interesting, you brought me something i didn't know about the ZLUDA project, hope it goes all the way, since i think this is one of the problems of the AMD GPU's relying on old OpenCL even if ROCm/HIP works somehow, people will consider more the possibility of buying an AMD GPU card for work and not only for gaming. i know you have the latest Nvidia 4000 gpu's so you have AV1 hardware acceleration for encoding, but for decoding the first model that supports decoding is 2070 and 2050... 2060 doesn't because it came first (i have one, i am poor person from brazil), so people who has cards older than that will have problems with your video because it will use software rendering, at least into high resolutions, that is only one of the drawbacks of this codec (for now), but i think youtube does convert to H265 and VP9 anyways.
youtube instant converts av1 to vp9 or just doesn't bother now
Do you have a video on photoshop?
Maybe tomorrow
Bet, I am down to watch a photoshop setup
Which distribution are you using
That was cachyos
Steam games work fine for me, but I play most games that are not on steam, I installed them with Wine but I can't seem to get them to work without heavy workarounds. Most are very laggy or do not boot at all. Any tips to make those games work as well? ( I followed your fedora gaming video btw)
yes use steam and proton ge lol for anything not steam use lutris and proton ge and for epic and gog use heroic game launcher
@@Mattscreative Yes I've used Lutris and proton ge as you've shown on the tutorial, but xdefiant doesn't seem to work. I will try it again later see if I got some more success this time. Thanks for your reply!
that's because Games like that and non Steam Modern MMOs intentionally Break Proton and Wine to Prevent you from playing them on Linux.
For example Genshin Impact used to work on Linux through Heroic, now it does not, because companies like Mihoyo fear Linux.
@@lexcelius6921 That's very sad, guess I'll need a dual boot for a little longer then, so done with Windows lol
Discover on Gnome desktop?.. Discover is the KDE plasma desktop appstore right?... why you install it?
do you think people don't run more then a single DE? lol come on
I try Plasma 6 for few weeks and end up with you. Just Gnome or WM. I dont like they make own app and use K in first letter because when i use plasma first time. I cant find terminal because it's name Konsole?
Haha ya konsole and for some reason they are all about that k it’s weird
URXVT is the best terminal anyways. The Konsole is Krappy. This is the terminal I use:
urxvt -rv -fn xft: Hack:style=Regular
You mentioned how Krita has a very unpleasant UX and suffers from "Blender syndrome," have you done a video (or will you do a video) on the concrete examples of what that means? Maybe even looking at other FOSS programs you think fall into this category, and comparisons with their proprietary alternatives?
To be fair the KDE system settings do look pretty messed up outside of KDE. The reason I and many others like KDE is because imo it has a more 1:1 feature set to windows. GNOME is definitely a more cohesive and organised system though. GNOME is strongly opinionated but is built very robustly. KDE's customisability is unfortunately its downfall due to the buginess. Both DEs are great I think.
i have waited since kde 4 for it to get better and it's going slower then a snail reading a book on slow motion time
I really like the approach that KDE tends to take with some stuff. For example, hotkeys in OBS can work without a problem because despite the global shortcuts Portal design/implementation coming along veeeery shortly, they made a way to allow XWayland apps to still be able to read keys if you want to allow it.
Then there was also XWaylandVideoBridge to allow XWayland apps to be able to cast your screen even if they don't implement the Screen Sharing Portal, which was very handy for Discord.
VRR is also something that was important to me that KDE has had built into the Wayland session for a while now (I am aware that GNOME finally has this available as an experimental option behind gsettings/dconf).
Things like that is what makes me really appreciate the KDE team :)
Wow. Nice
so nice

@@Mattscreative thanks
But i have been in both worlds for a while. Linux does suck. But its getting better. Its nothing straight forward, there is allways a battle to make things work, and there is allways an issue. I use linux on a dailie basis. I wish linux was better. But the progression has been better past 6 months. October last year, linux was terrible state. Many things a cheap and bad on linux. When you open a program, its like you bought it in wish and it works.. but does it work good? its a 50-50% chance. I like linux, its my fun place. But its still bad for productivity and support.
I like Debian 12, linux mint an cachyOS, also Kali Linux there not bad I used vanillaOS which isn’t bad I’m I’m just trying to find something i can customize also I’m a gammer too it’s
I just wanted to mention that your rant about keybindings is wrong. It's not "the way that Linux goes." This has nothing to do with Linux developers as a whole stalling things and everything to do with GNOME developers stalling things. There is a reason why a lot of long time Linux users hate GNOME and its developers. You are experiencing one of those reasons now with keybindings.
wrong this has nothing to do with gnome it's the wayland devs pushing it aside everytime someone finds a way ... people blindly hate on gnome and it's sad but the truth is look to the wayland devs
CPU render still is better if you want the best quality for bit possible. GPU render focus is speed at cost of space.
Not anymore thanks to av1 i did tests on that and gpu looked way cleaner and better thanks to the new nvenc and av1 and the size with gpu rendering is way smaller by the way
@@Mattscreative I'll test this when I get a GPU with that codec. What I have to say is that h265 nvenc codec deforms source image. The final file also is 2 to 10x larger depending of content for the same quality when compared to ffmpeg CPU encoder. h264 encoder is good and keep image as source but file size can be even larger.
I don't see reason for AV1 codec being different in this file size aspect. As CPU encoder is terrible slow for AV1 I don't feel like using it to shrink my media server.
I cannot for the life of me get Assassins Creed II to work on fedora. This is my only hiccup i havent been on linux in a while and really enjoying fedora. The ubisoft launcher opens from lutris the game is there in my library and there is a download button but it wants to install steam whcih i already have installed. All configurations are set to ge proton 9-7 but its just like the ubisoft connect and steam are not communicating and if i click the play button in steam it says theres no launcher installed.
You can find a solution for this in the steam deck topics, because it's a common problem with ubi connect on linux, and when I tried to fix it to play ZOMBI, that's where I found my solution
Use wine normal wine with dxvk
Title is very cliclkbaity and misleading. One would assume that its your first 30 days with linux when its obvious you have years of experience with linux. One cant expect this level of interacting(sucesfuly) with linux for a long time, not even close.
life hurts i know
@@Mattscreative wouldnt go that far, but linux does hurt 😄 its experience moat have when coming from windows.
linux doen't hurt at all but i will be honest not using windows for 30 days is a new feeling the longest ive spent just on linux was 2 days. So this whole experience is new and the title is not clickbait
regarding to overbloat on Qt Apps or Kdenlive, those applications are developed by developers that use those tools. How can you say, as a single voice, that those features they implement are crap/unneeded/unusable? Perhaps contribute to the discussion on how to make those applications better; Its kinda a circular argument that linux developers take ages to implement something right, don't you think?
Because I run a TH-cam channel and I read my comments I also have a discord and I’m in many other Lennox discord and it’s always the same complaint. Can you imagine that people having an opinion? And that opinion being shared. Just because developers use it. It doesn’t mean it’s useful to those who actually video edit. It’s why Kden live is barely used and talked about. Plus, anybody that speaks up is immediately put down by toxic people that will defend it no matter what. But I’m not gonna back down. I’m going to have my opinion and I’m going to share it. And there’s not a damn thing someone can do to stop me. It is a horrible tool for people who actually video edit. It is a horrible tool for people who have a fast workflow. And davincis resolve is just better.
@@Mattscreative yeah that's fair in regards to workflow not fitting the tool (kdenlive). But perhaps share that opinion where it may reach the developers, not just on this soapboax that is youtube?
I tried that once i had a direct like and it wasn’t pretty i even made a mock up of a new ux design that would have been so professional and clean
The KDE Apps looking like crap is btw a GNOME issue. GNOME apps on KDE look vanilla.
i mean in kde not in gnome lol even without gnome they look horrible
For me editing video on linux is rough, i use AMD gpu some encoder just don't work and davinci resolve sometimes just crash out of nowhere. I need to convert format video & audio because I work for other people so it's kinda bother me even it easy to convert but still it's something
Thats why i went with nvidia it’s always the best editing experience and performance. Also wayland being stable mow is a plus.
I think with BF2042 might need to run it in a VM PepeHands
no my laptop works for me
I had to giggle. You don't sound like a fresh linux user, but more like someone who is part of this for years :) Also I totally see where you are coming from. I am with linux since forever and KDE always seemed like a bugfest, with countless half assed features. Also I don't get why they carry all their antique software with them each release. Juk, Kjots, whatever. Everything is constantly updated to latest release and the userbase has to be zero. That's quite a lot of manpower thay could have been used in much more important places.
not fresh at all just switched to linux full time after 25 years of side running it
"Just because you don't experience bug doesn't mean other people don't" - Gnome causes my browser and code editor to hard crash. As a professional programmer that is simply unacceptable for me. I'm not trying to invalidate your position, rather simply point out that you don't consider the full picture there when complaining about KDE without even considering that others might have their own troubles with gnome.
This is my experience not others and thats what comments are for .. weird i try to share something and people only think about them selfs kinda selfish
@@Mattscreative weird how when people tell their experiences you call them selfish, looks like you only think about yourself...
I can't switch to Linux because of ms office, Adobe Photoshop, internet download manager, and many many more small small software which are paid one but those are way way superior then what Linux open source software offers. I'm sorry but Linux is just not there yet. What I do instead, I just modify the iso according to me with NTlite tool and just install security updates.
Plus gaming is one the drawbacks of Linux, still it's not easy to set-up steam and play all games. I know Linux is free and what they offer for free is insane but as my daily driver nooo it's not up to the mark for my productive work
Internet download manager has a linux build and photoshop works on linux fine and you have no idea if the rest work or not unless you try them
@@Mattscreative yea it may work but my point is i have to do several terminal thing to make it perfect where in windows you know it ......i always try several Linux distro installing ventoy in a 250Gb nvme enclosure and put isos like fedora workstation, fedora kde plasma, mint,zorin,pop os, manjaro kde, ubuntu, though ubuntu is getting worse, im very new in linux stuff but i stiil love and always try ,,but whenever something i cant make it in linux i go back to windows. i have to learn o lot ......hope you understood........🥲
No terminal things needed thats a myth
@@Dipto9 yeah well its kinda expected that one has to learn a lot when they switch operating systems. Ive gaming on Linux for over one and a half year now and have no issues (besides games with intrusive anticheat software which refuse to run under linux)
Damn more of the cam vids
I am challenging myself to stay on Garuda Dragonized someone needs to make all emulators work on Linux to combat Microsoft also I like your background where can I find it I wanted to make it look like Back to the Future. :)
Cachyos would be a better more stable fit with more performance in tow. Garuda is made by ex manjaro devs so it’s a bloated mess
@@Mattscreative Not really dude it's made by a chick from Indonesia.
That changes nothing
@@Mattscreative Also I see no bloatware on it anywhere I just think people complain about everything it's better than Ubuntu who people have proved is literally spying on you.
@@Mattscreative I think you're delusional and need help dude I see no bloatware anywhere and no one from Manjaro worked on it you might be entirely confused. They might have imported themes related to Manjaro but they are an independent project please don't make conspiracies and provide proof of your claims.
I really enjoy using Linux much more than Windows, however, there's always nightmarish scenarios when updating kernels and video drivers. I don't get why they force out updates, that don't work for some people. Then nobody says anything, and there's all sorts of people having a bad experience. If I hadn't been forced into this kernel update that won't boot, I would be none the wiser but it just bothers me knowing that there's a new kernel out that might fix an issue or two, and I can't use it without lots of ball busting. The issue I have right now that's causing me to want to update my kernel, is the system won't reboot or shut down, without a command prompt. It gets stuck every time. It's a minor annoyance, but having the system not boot with the new kernel is an even bigger problem
Cachyos solved that issue
@@Mattscreative What is that? I used pop os for a minute I like that Nvidia driver selector in the settings, I'm using Fedora which doesn't have it, which is a Big problem
cachyos is Arch linux but stable and run by a great team of devs and they test everything before a release and they have their own custom kernel that is fully tested with amd and nvidia before release
@@nukblack6509 Im not completely a beginner I have been using it for a month I have probably copied and pasted a novel worth of commands into the terminal by now. What is so hard about arch?
Ignore them cachyos is built for people just starting out on linux and old dogs like me
you have the exact haircut I thought you'd have
it's for my headphones
what the hell you talk about gaming issues on amd cards on linux... nvidia has waycway more issues than amd
read the pinged comment
I guess by modern you mean tablet / touchscreen interface.
I personally can not stand Gnome and love KDE Plasma, but to each their own.
Ah no lol
shitting on developers is the way to go i guess 😅
if i was going to shit on devs trust me i would have not been so nice about it and gone all out
I have to say that I find your language pretty harsh. Yes, there are a lot of problems with many applications for Linux, but keep in mind that most applications are written by developers in their spare time and provided for free. Some things that are not important to you may be important to others. Also, things in development are not always as simple as they may seem
Personally, I still wouldn't recommend Linux to many people, because if something breaks, many people can't recover from it. Windows is still easier to use than Linux in many ways (at least if you do more than write documents and surf the internet)
However it is always interesting to see how people experience their first steps in linux
This is who i am i am honest to the core and that won't change because someone gets upset at me because how people feel is not my concern. linux has major issues and i will speak out about them and not baby the issue like most FOSS apps have major issues that are never resolved. it won't change not talking about it.
@@Mattscreative Yes, we should talk about the problems.
But you're speaking in a very blameful way here, which doesn't help anyone except that the developers in question might feel offended. Even if you don't care how other people feel, you can still be considerate.
I used linux for so many years I installed windows 10 on a computer a couple weeks ago and forgot it doesn't have a package manager. 💩
it has winget i have a video about that
@@Mattscreative See..... Barely use the stuff. 🤣
16:45 hahah why is this so true?
No hate to the KDE Team.. but damn, I don't think I will ever get comfy with Kdenlive. And I can 100% relate: KDE Plasma is filled with too many options, I'm glad that it's so customizable, but give a Linux noob KDE Plasma and he will learn the DE first instead of Linux.
This sounds harsh... and in general I really like KDEs Philosophy and that they are really open, but they need to improve.
Wait wut?
The
Masochists is the word you’re looking for.
yup someone else made that comment
@@Mattscreative caught myself looking but didn’t see it.
One other thing I wanted to say. I’m finally glad to see someone being honest about KDE. It’s still a buggy mess and I feel like so many channels shill it bc they hate Gnome. I use Gnome and with the new Nvidia drivers, it’s as smooth as ever.
alot of salty kde cultists are salty i told the truth
Gnome is profetional software KDE is runs and maintain by amateur's and they all sucks they ruin KDE
Thanks for the tip on chosing Gnome over KDE. As a relative new comer to Linux, when I finally chose a PC to convert, Gnome it will be then as my first pick as I trust your knowledge. 👍👍
Glad I could help!
Gnome is my fav DE. The extension feature was a welcome improvement. I wanted to like KDE, I really did… kept crashing.
Ive had similar issues with kde
I just love the cope from linux users. You literally showed a broken third party launcher bugging out as a "good" experience. come on man 😂
you never had software that carked it under windows? Seethe harder.
Wayland needs another 10 years before it should be included in any distro.
nah
Why? I've been using it daily for more than a year and I did not experience any issue. I think with the exception of some use cases is pretty much ready for most users.
Worst wallpaper ever.
Seen worse
Kdenlive sucks
it truly does they got a lot of work to do
Whaat? Kdenlive is so good!
Ya no
@@caios3446Most TH-camr love it at first ut end up changing. It probably sucks for work.
It looks cool 🥹
