Wait. Windows is not going anywhere. Microsoft doesn't care about home users. They care about selling licenses of Windows. This means OEMs buying licenses and companies buying bulk licenses. They don't care about your single PC purchase every 3-4 years. Windows is what fuels business and that's what MS cares about. That said, there's more awareness of Linux systems and what it can do for older hardware that MS wants you to throw into ewaste.
The last 4 companies i visited dropped thier Microsoft licebses license price increased bloated in a enterprise lts version. Windows server was ever very good these they are super unreliable.

Funny, that you feel windows is sooo critical to the corporate world...Germany is dumping it wholesale.just 'maybe' they know something you don't.. not to impune your tech knowledge or skill, but tell you a 'secret'. I've known Bill Gates since his college days, was standing literally NEXT to him, when he 'created' "Windows" ( it was a fraud, didn't exist, he drove a small company who actually was demoing it to the industry, into insolvency, then acquired them-a recurring practice btw. Bill is a hell of a poker player, but he plays EVERY hand to win, no matter what it takes. Doesn't matter to me, ride the bus you choose.
We have 600 machines at my work that are on Windows 10. None of those machines meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. Most of them are close to or over 15 years old. Our business case to replace them came to over $600,000 just for the hardware. Never mind training or application compatibility testing. I asked for funds to set up a test machine with Ubuntu to determine its suitability as a replacement for the installed Windows Operating system. We do have several custom applications (We are a social agency managing about 50 housing and shelter locations throughout a large city and serve over 500 clients a year.) The hardware is fairly generic HP desktop units and uniform across the enterprise. A few managers have Lenovo 490 and T61 laptops. We have two choices for the applications run them on a VM or use an emulator product on the desktop machine. We do have a database running on an SCO Unix system from the 90's.
Would WINE work for those applications? If that works, maybe with a couple tweaks, your company is blessed, you can easily transition. Keep me updated on whatever your company decides in the end!

The snap and Flatpack Firefox does not work with all the add-ons properly. I can't use smartcard reader, to access public service by government given person identification card. That's real pity they don't consider importance of compatibility.
I’ve been using Linux Mint for the past 5 months now as my machine is not supported by Windows 11. I won’t wait until windows 10 no longer receive security updates. Had to tweak a few things but it’s working like a charm on my 10yo FX-6300 with integrated GPU. I can work, study and watch TH-cam smoothly. Ubuntu is also great.

Linux on new laptops is the wild west.

You’ve defeated your own argument really by knocking the software installer bundled with Ubuntu and then mentioning the dreaded ‘terminal’ to install something more suitable. Windows users just want things to work. No messing about. The Linux community doesn’t seem to realise this and that is why Windows is going nowhere.
@apurvakumarsrivastav9765 Honestly the software centers in Linux distros (at least based on my experience) are ass. They freeze half the time and there's hardly any good software.
@@kcato5879 and you have flatpak, snap, ‘normal’ install. Half the time you don’t know what you are installing. There is no standardisation which is half the problem
Linux community is a cult and circlejerk, yes it can be a better OS but from the perspective of an outsider it's not straightforward or a simple experience
Anybody who says that must be in a position to give up all the programs they used to use, and go though a learning curve to get used to things like Open Office and Thunderbird Email. In truth, there bloody well is a learning curve, and your old Windows-based programs likely wont work in Linux. Being retired we could do that, but we're not typical desktop users anymore.
Linux requires an educated user who can also manage their system. Windows has dumbed its users down so their system can be "set it and forget it". For decades I have said that one should have to pass a test before being allowed to use a computer. This would make the abacus great again.
I would say that Linux Mint is the one that Windows users should turn to not Ubuntu. Because Linux Mint has 3 desktops that will be the most familiar to Windows users. The Mate, Cinnamon and Xfce which come with Mint all have the Windows style start menu and layout. They don't have Snaps like Ubuntu does. And Mint is also very stable and has a lot of tools to help you out. You can also install other desktops on Linux Mint as I do. I have the KDE desktop and you can also install the Ubuntu Gnome Desktop on Mint. The advantage of this is you get all of the Ubuntu features but without the Snap. Because Mint does not use Snaps. That's why I always use Mint instead of Ubuntu but I am also getting to like Debian. Debian is also another option if you don't want Snaps or Flatpak.
@@bhargavjitbhuyan9394 i don't recommend fedora because it requires you to enable rpm fusion for preparatory drivers which can be confusing for new users and also wayland for new users is quite confusing
I recommend Ubuntu to new users got many users on it and they love it. Linux mint is just overrated garbage. We don't need another Windows os we need others. Making mint look like windows was the worst idea those people ever had. It has no identity. Plus many people know Ubuntu already. Mint is only loved by Linux people who already know Linux not people who don't know Linux.
Ubuntu, right or wrong, my distro. I love Unity, snaps and Ubuntu Pro, all hated by the fake-software-experts. Why Canonical is good and Ubuntu great? An example: I run an encrypted Virtualbox VM of Ubuntu 16.04 ESM (Unity & Ubuntu Pro) exclusively for my banking. It also runs the latest stable snaps of Firefox and LibreOffice. A secure solution for banking with Unity; Snaps; Extended Security Maintenance (Part of Ubuntu Pro) and Virtualbox! Another example: I run a VM of Xubuntu 24.04 LTS with MS-Edge for WhatsApp; FB-Messenger and Skype. MS-Edge is auto updated through the PPA, due to the cooperation between Microsoft and Canonical :) :) I use MS-Edge, because it is efficient with memory usage, inactive tabs are put to sleep :)
Modern Windows is absolute GARBAGE and how people can call it superior to older Windows is beyond me making Windows simple was Microsofts TRUE agenda someone's doing something at Microsoft they're not SUPPOSED to be doing and we need to find out who and charge them for trespassing into people's computer.
You opened the video with one thing that would deter the majority of potential users coming from Windows and that's the terminal. Having to remember endless command lines wouldn't fill many with confidence. If there was a distro that required zero use of the terminal then maybe we'd be talking.
@@Yoru05 They may well have updated it then. That was the distro I tried switching to before and it certainly did then. I remember getting completely locked out because I typed in my password wrong while trying to change a setting. I couldn't get back in, so my only option was to reinstall Windows.
@@Yoru05Linux mint sucks, looks ugly and doesn't always work especially on new stuff. It's good for freeloaders though just like clem being a canonical freeloader 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ubuntu went astray with snap, its quite some (easy) steps to get rid of it. BUT ubuntu is an awesome basis for better distros like Zorin, Mint, Pop OS. I cant see Linux succeeding Windows in the near future. Almost all people i know are not willing or able to install and use Linux. They use a computer like i use my car, i dont dare to modify it. Dont tell me its easy, i use Linux since 1992....
I am fine with Ubuntu being good and being a Linux user myself (i don't use Ubuntu tho) but saying "End of Windows" is the worst joke I heard this year until now. The day Windows ends will not come by the hand of Linux, instead of Apple maybe or any other thing.
Distribution as well, linux will never gain ground unless it is in everyday stores next to windows as an option to buy with. Unless walmart sells actual number of systems with something like ubunutu, mint, or zorin the gap will remain vast. On top of sofware lock outs like adobe for one
The only time when Linux defeats windows is if linux can play all the triple "A" games especially the triple "A" games that run with the anti-cheat software and as well for linux to be able to support all hardware which it can support most percentage of hardware these days and so therefor in time as linux advances then it might defeat windows till then we have to use windows.
That is a problem true indeed, but only for certain games. Some people have tried running Win 10/11 in a Virtual Machine, and also did some tweak so it doesn't show it is a VM. If Linux gaming population increases then these gaming companies that need to run anti-cheat software might finally cave in and make it for linux as well. One game I play Tanki-Online only requires anti-cheat when you play in competition event tournaments; for regular public matches it doesn't require anti-cheat software. If you use the VM it could get you banned for some games, so I wouldn't try this. They might improve this VM method in the future.
With 2025 aproaching and the mandatory upgrade to win11 looming on the horizon, I'm definitely interested in learning Linux. But I'm thinking about trying Mint, since many say it's more beginner friendly. Would you recomend Ubuntu over Mint?
Go, go, go! Both are great distros to start playing with, but I’d say what Linux Mint offers might feel more “natural” for someone coming from many years of using Windows. You’re about to start a journey that will blow your wig, sir! 😄 There are a few things I believe you should bear in mind from now on when it comes to GNU/Linux: 1. Every project (distribution / flavor) has its own vision. For instance, Mint is a community-driven project spearheaded by veterans, with their users needs at center. Everything they do is to make their users experience as frictionless as possible, while gradually innovating as new needs and requests arise; 2. On the other hand, distributions like Ubuntu (as well as other corporate-backed ones like Fedora or openSUSE) usually define their roadmap based on their commercial needs, or the companies that make use of their tech needs, so expect new developments to be pushed more aggressively hence things possibly breaking more often. Linux Mint and similar distributions are released when they are cooked enough, the other ones may come a little early out of the oven from time to time since they are often bound to hard timelines; 3) Then you have a whole other variety of desktop environments or window managers that you can dress up with the underlying system: Mint’s desktop environment Cinnamon is fully managed by the Mint team, and you can see their live pouring all over the place. Then you have GNOME - the one that uses Ubuntu and Fedora, for example -, which kind of resembles the UI you would expect from a tablet or a similar touch device. Then there is KDE Plasma 6 💙 the one I prefer over all of them, with an initial look and feel similar to the traditional Windows UI, but extensible and customizable beyond your imagination, trust me. There are many more, each one with their own goals, pros ando cons, so at the end of the day it is up to the user to pick the one that “feels right”. We are so lucky here, we live in abundance :) My recommendations is to go and try all the ones that pick your curiosity and see how you feel using them. 4) Because GNU/Linux is not a whole operating system like Windows or macOS or FreeBSD, but different components assembled together to create an operating system, you’ll hear a lot of the different “package managers”, which were the traditional way to install software there. Nowadays there are some new nice alternatives like Flatpak (https;//flathub.org) or Snap (developed and managed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu), that makes as easy as with the other platforms to install new software, implementing modern sandboxing techniques along the way to enhance security and prevent malicious applications from harming your system; 5) Learn how to use the terminal! While nowadays you can use most of these GNU/Linux systems geared towards the general public without ever interacting with a terminal, there is where the power lies: unlike with other OS with the exception of FreeBSD, here the graphical interface is an extension - and more often than not a tiny subset - of what you can do with your system from the termina. On top of that, with GNU/Linux your system is YOUR system. You have full control over it. _”With great powers comes great responsibilities”_ - it’s really easy to break it beyond a repairable state if you put your finger where you shouldn’t, trust me 😂; 6. I jumped boat in 2006 or 2007 (I started with Ubuntu back then, which had a very different UI), and after having used lot of diestros like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and even Linux From Scratch, I continue learning new stuff every day - and I breath Linux and FOSS, being them my daily drivers since then (with a little exception of a couple of years when I used macOS 🙂↔️), and also using them as my go-to option at work (Infrastructure / DevOps / SRE engineer here, think about Kubernetes, Podman, AWS, GCP, Terraform, GitHub Actions, etc); 7. Since you still have time my recommendation would be to start playing with the distros you are considering on a VM (I recommend you VMware Player since you’re on Windows, much better than VirtualBox), so you start getting acquainted with this new and (very) different way of doing things and slowly start buldijg up confidence. Most importantly, you start breaking your systems and learning how to avoid repeating doing that in the future, and better yet, how to fix it. Think about raising the hood of your car and understanding exactly what every part of the engine does - then think back about Windows and macOS, if you can do the same. Spoiler alert: you can’t. Those systems are black boxes that restricts your freedom, your possibilities to use them to your best potential, and the possibility of learning and leveling up. And I even haven’t yet said nothing about *privacy*, or about the disrespect Microsoft treats its users with by charging them for the operating system (no issues with that), only to next shove publicity right into their desktops with new updates! They have no shame, really. Which brings me to the last of the points I wanted to make you know about: 8. There are two main philosophical movements or school of thought here: Free Software (fsf.org, eff.org), and Open Source Software. The first one has more of a dogmatic position, where all the hardware and software should be open and free to access to everyone. It was founded by a guy that was a golden boy at MIT in the 70s and the 80s, frustrated of being restricted to learn how some of the stuff they used at their lab worked because of licensing burdens; the OSS movement has a more down-to-Earth approach if you like, where they are not so focused on “preserving people’s freedoms”, but in achieving technical excellence, to which one of the best things you can do is open your source code so peers can take a look at it and _yay or nay_, share their thoughts, and between everyone come to the best possible solution. Its not a surprise companies back more OSS projects than Free-as-in-Freedom projects, even though the FSF is responsible for the other half of what constitutes a GNU/Linux operating system, the GNU part: gnu.org. Again, congratulations from deciding to move out of your comfort zone and learn something new - you won’t be disappointed! And if you feel a bit more adventurous, go check some of the amazing new developments popping out of the Fedora community like bazzite.gg/ or projectbluefin.io/. Also, you might want to give a look nixos.org/ which I fell completely in love with and can’t have enough of it! 🎉🐧 😄🤓 Edit: typing on an iPad sucks so baaadly! Can’t wait to have good tablets running full Linux distributions, not just Android :D
Personally, I would recommend Mint / Cinnamon as the first distribution for you to try. That was where we ended up, having used Microsoft operating systems since MS-DOS. But a separate SSD for the Linux installation, with the Windows disk saved aside, would be a wise thing for you to do. That way you can still go back if the Linux learning curve is too steep. And make no mistake, there is a learning curve.
Zorin has snaps and flatpacksl, so a very wide range of software to add to the linux software selection. Also very newbie friendly. Been dual booting it with Win 10 and can see myself using it solely after 2025 as my hardware won't run Win 11. Thanks, MS, for making the decision for me!
I'm running Garuda Cinnamon it makes your computer faster and more powerful by simplifying your computer a lot of people are using the Garuda distro and they have expert Operating Systems as well there doesn't appear to be an End of Life since it's open source compared to Windows.
I've dabbled with linux off and on for nearly ten years. It really isn't user friendly for most people. The vast majority of users want to turn on the machine, have automatic updates and have a seamless experience. Very few people want to do anything in command lines.
Unless you are doing basic tasks like web browsing, you will always find something and you are correct. The average person will never care enough to put up with it. Windows is the enemy but its the enemy they know and the big software is aligned with them and people needing to fix or configre files to make things work is asking too much
I've been running Windows for 32 years but have only occasionally dabbled with Linux on spare machines, most recently Mint. I have never heard of snaps; what are they? My usual route for getting software is to search in a browser, download and install. I can't work from home on a Linux machine because I need MS Office installed locally. I still don't have any Windows 11 compatible machines and don't know what to do in 18 months time.
Okay so, Windows uses ".exe"-packages as their programs, right? Linux has multiple formats to package a program, there is no(t yet a) standard package format on Linux. This is because Linux is not created by a company but by many different people with many different views on what is the right way to package a program. At the moment there are 4 major types of packages: native packages, flatpaks, snaps and appimages. Every distribution of Linux (there are several versions and flavors of linux which are called distributions) has native packages, that only work for that distribution of Linux. Its pro is that it has been packaged such that it works completely correct in that specific distribution. Its con is that this means that this native packages does not work on another distribution: every distribution needs to maintain their own package of this certain program. Flatpaks are an attempt to create a universal package format that makes sure that it works on *any* distribution, not only one distribution. Most distributions support flatpaks out of the box and otherwise you can easily install "Flathub" and then use flatpaks. Pros are that it is easy to maintain and publish to Linux, and that everything about it is open source. Con is that in order to be this flexible it is inside a sandbox and could therefore be a little slower or lack certain features because they require to escape this sandbox. Snaps are also an attempt to create an universal package format, but instead of made by the community, it has been created by Ubuntu's company, Canonical. The backend is not completely open source and Canonical is really forcing its users to use it. Linux users don't like to be forced onto something, that is why the maker of the video was complaining. Furthermore, snaps qualitatively behave worse than Flatpaks, while trying to achieve the same goal. So it is basically Canonical trying to become a standard instead of Flathub, so that they get more control over the Linux ecosystem as a whole, because the decisions Canonical makes on this topic are not in the benefit of the user at this moment (because flatpaks generally behave a lot better). Canonical even tries to get users to use snaps instead of the native Ubuntu packages, the ones I first talked about, even though the native packages work much better because they are made specifically for Ubuntu. Lastly there are AppImages. Those are the equivalent to Portable programs on Windows, and behave a bit like MacOS apps: you download a file, you make it runnable, you click on it, and it runs. This is also an attempt to create a universal package, but it has not taken off (yet), mostly because many users think it is much easier to either download a program from the software manage or to use the terminal, because these are quicker than using the browser and finding the file and then downloading it. Because of this, not many programs are packaged as AppImages and not many people therefore use them. I hope this comment helps with understanding Linux packages, and hopefully you'll be able to successfully transition from Windows to Linux without too many problems, and of course that you will like and enjoy it and stay! You'll discover that it is not really difficult, but more that it is new and different, and you'll need some time to adjust. If you ever encounter any problems, you can ask me here!
@@ThePhilGrimm I understand that. But just keep in mind that it is not necessarily more difficult (sometimes it is, but usually not), it usually is just very different. When you only know English, Spanish feels very difficult and vice versa, but both languages are almost equally difficult compared to each other. It just takes some time to learn the other language. Same goes with operating systems.
Most will not switch unless the programmes they use are on Linux. Most do not want the hassle of having to learn new software. Unless the likes of Adobe, etc. start releasing software on Linux, and it will never beat Windows.
heck more to the point the common everyday person is never going to image a system over windows, the over whelming majority don't even know updates let alone install a different OS of which its just a fact. Users of those levels would be dead in the water. the perfect example trying to share your screen and audio on linux for discord....such a simple task and yet...no low knowledge user would ever resolve. and so many other quirks that take some level of effort to correct. i dont understand where people think cherry picked examples mean anything in mass, linux community itself is all about terminal once you hit a certain level. that is laughable suggestion to the everyday person who cares less that linux is a thing or knows it exists.
Wait, I’m pretty sure you can install Deb packages from the software center. All you have to do is click the “filter by” box in the search results and select Debian packages instead of snaps. 🤷🏻
@@K-CHOMA Some libraries and such, yes they don't seem to appear in software centre. But most of the major apps like the ones he was talking about in this video do. It's just that they prioritize snap versions and new users wouldn't immediately know to switch over to .deb in search.
This guy is delusional. Ubuntu will not be the end of windows. Most people don't even know what Linux is so never mind heard about Ubuntu. Can't take a desktop OS seriously that doesn't have hardware acceleration support for videos in browsers. Low power CPUs cannot handle it and more mainstream CPUs will be a a high usage and power draw when this really should be offloaded to GPU. This and many other missing features are why it will never be taken seriously by anyone and only used by hobbyists.
You really have no idea what you are talking about lmao. Linux is very lightweight compared to Windows. ESPECIALLY low power cpus could benefit from Linux. Furthermore, there is hardware acceleration for videos in browsers? What you on about? Have you ever even touched a Linux install or are you just repeating the nonsense you have heard on the internet?
@@axeldewater9491 I have used a Linux install and when watching youtube videos in Chrome based browser and Firefox it is using the CPU not the GPU to decode which uses much more power as CPUs are not designed for this. GPUs are much more efficient at this. If you think the opposite you have no clue about computing. I know it isn't using the GPU for acceleration as the CPU usage jumps to 80%+ usage. On windows its at 10% usage as its offloaded to GPU. This mean on Linux I have higher power draw, nosier system as fans have to spin up and less responsive system as CPU is under heavy load. Try watching a 4K 60FPS youtube video on a modest spec PC and watch the CPU usage max out.

I've been testing Ubuntu 24.04 with my late 2015 5K iMac and have had very few problems with it. Most of the problems I had were just me not remembering how to do things om Linux and having to re-familiarize myself. I think this will be a great OS to take the place of macOS Monterey when it ends support this coming fall, and this iMac will no longer be supported by Apple. I'm using the Cinnamon Ubuntu 24.04 flavor and also Kubuntu as I also like KDE. Currently I have been running each install from an external hard drive until I decide it's time to install as the main OS. Also wanted to note that 24.04 seems to have fixed the random audio issues I was having when trying previous releases such as 22.04 and below. Also I feel that any experienced user will find Linux and macOS quite similar in terms of the underlying Unix system, and most of the challenges may just be in the desktop experience and finding alternative software (depending on needs.)
I switched to Linux then I realised my mistake. Linux is hard to troubleshoot if anything goes wrong. for example: audio not working good or stops in my Ubuntu Linux laptop. I spent days and days to fix it but no success. my HP Desktop not able to run WiFi. tried several wifi sticks and been through dozens of websites but no way to make wifi working.
in general if you are looking for hardware that works with Linux look for ones that are branded as Linux compatible Asus has a wifi stick that I know work since I use one my self the problem with the audio is hard to help you solve without knowing a bit more did it work then suddenly stopped or did it not work at all if it worked but stopped suddenly it means that the sound card at least is detected by the OS and that is a good start if not it means that it needs a driver what program did you use at the time did the sound bar in the sound settings still move do you use internal or external speakers or a headphone at the time it could be a loose connection or that the audio has been muted by accident or that the sound settings are wrong like having it on digital output instead of analog or headphones instead of 5.1 surround sound I have done this my self by accident there should be a sound config tool in there have you tried it and does the microphone work
@@Shabbir-A. Hi .That sounds really weird to me I guess its when you speak through the mic? the only advice I can give you is to try some other versions of linux on a live cd or usb drive just to see if the problem is still there or get an external usb soundcard for the time being it could still be something wrong in the sound settings does the alarm turn off if you mute the mic? sometimes something that doesn't work or has issues with one version of Linux work ok on another version because it uses a newer driver for that piece of hardware
Linux will have a great future if we get a good Adobe and a good Outlook alternative. Don't tell me its Thunderbird and Gimp. They are not bad but not as good as Photoshop and Outlook. Btw i use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Win11 because i need Photoshop sometimes for my work.
it already has two good video editors (resolve and kdenlive). I tried to like GIMP, I really did... it just doesn't got that natural feel which Photoshop has. So I agree, once Linux gets a proper photoshop alternative, it'd be a huge game changer.
I think this Ubuntu will spell the end of Windows. Not so much because Ubuntu. But because once Linux Mint gets a hold of this and refines it, I think you will see as perfect a desktop OS as you can get. Ubuntu is a great foundation. But lost the plot with desktop users. Understandable. They would not be the solid foundation they are if they focused on desktop. They need to focus more on corporate needs because that makes them the money they use to make their solid base. Linux Mint takes it that extra mile and brings it home for the desktop user. They can focus more on the desktop users. Wish Ubuntu and Linux Mint would get a long better. They both bring something to the table the other does not and desperately needs. Lol. If they were to combine forces, they would be an unstoppable distro.
Canonical needs to do what red hat did and make it impossible to make a clone off it so Linux mint and friends can create their own os. Not use canonicals work. All these distros shouldn't even exist in the first place.
There's still a lot of people that don't know that Ubuntu/Linux exist's. At least here in the US. All's they know about is Windows and Mac. And most people don't even know that Mac is based off BSD which is Unix based. Instead of buying extremely expensive hardware just so that they can us Mac's OS they could be buying cheap or inexpensive hardware and using any Unix or Unix like OS for free.
When windows o s (12) has to run from the cloud, (they have already hacked the cloud) and you pay every month, then you will run from windows. It seems all Linux distros are all based on the same programming, they have handy packages already installed. An old laptop I had (windows 10) could not install new updates It had too small of a drive, not enough memory on and on. Installed Linux and run the programs that simple. I pad was just thrown out, what a waste of material.

Believe you me, as a Gamer/streamer i cant go to another OS main reason is almost ALL of my games are windows based through steam/epic. Now,when the game companies Rockstar,epic etc grow a brain and go over to nothing but linux, then ill be one of the first ppl to jump the microcrap ship. its very frustrating trying to play PC games when you have ADs in mix of the OS...iam waiting until microcrap releases the LTSC lite Version of win 11 later this yr. Plus i know nothing about linux.
@@MrQuay03 Try playing games like PUBG or DayZ on Linux. No chance with PUBG and you'll lose most of your hair trying to get DayZ to work, and that's vanilla DayZ. Forget about trying to play modded DayZ on linux.
@@bryndal36 in that case, I guess Windows are required. In my case, most of the games I want to play are indie, older triple A. My Steam backlog is huge like most people.
@dreaper5813 That fact that Microsoft is putting ads into it's OS which we have to purchase a licence to use is indeed shady, and I do dual boot with Linux for games that run on Linux, but I'm not ready to cut the cord completely with Windows while I'm still enjoying playing multi-player games like PUBG and DayZ.
@dreaper5813 I've been playing PUBG since the start and I enjoy it's mechanics. I don't even bother with paying for the microtransactions as they're not nessecary to the game at all. I bought it once, not paying for the price of the game for every season pass as well. As for DayZ, it only works ok with unmodded servers. You try to mod it and the game tends to bork. And when I play a game, I shouldn't have to spend 2 hours figuring out how to get it to work on linux before wanting to play. That's why I won't fully commit to Linux. Fine for all you techheads who love to tinker, but I want to load up a game and just play it.

End of Windows? Will Ubuntu support Office 365 and Steam and run just like Windows in all support? Can I install any graphics card with updated drivers??? Is it easy to learn and maintain? Unless yes to all of the above, I will stick with Windows.
@mgord9518 - You didn't read what I put. I have been using Windows since version 3.11 also. It obviously does all, or I wouldn't use it. Linux is pointless, and when it can do universally everything and be as smooth and easy to use in a GUI way 100 percent, the way a computer is meant to be used, and best to be used, there is no point to use Linux or crappy Apple for that matter, no matter what you or anyone else says, or what opinions they have. End of story. This is not even a debate.
i'd say for a beginner linux mint 100 percent. im on manjaro and its great for gaming but need to add a terminal command to get aur installing programs right and that may be too much for some. i hear cachy os ,endevour os, pop os, garuda, and nobara are all great for gaming as well.
If you have newer hardware then you can get Linux Mint EDGE. This new Ubuntu has the Linux kernel 6.8; to use newer AMD RADEON 7000 graphic cards you need Linux kernel 6.3 and up.
This is not the end of windows, the regular everyday user will put up with what they give with no thought for linux. The few anecdotal examples people cherry pick to show windows is dead are the same ones saying"year of the linux desktop" for over a decade now. Linux is great, linux for server is better but user side will always be niche. If they can get actual support from the big software like adobe and overall just general software support and have actual distribution. So you see them in walmarts being sold on hardware then true ground would be gained. Also deciding and putting in a concentrated effort into one DE would help cement a feel of "linux" to the common person. Same with package manager
Agree! Many businesses have virtually been held hostage by Microsoft with its admirably unified eco-system of its OS and its applications. But it is a huge possibility that many PC and laptop owners may swing to LINUX to be able to continue using their old but still running hardware that do not qualify for Windows 11.
it is because windows 10 won't supporting unsupported machines in 2025 unless you pay for security services and those unsupported machines still dominates more than 60% of windows users So the only way to use the unsupported machines without compromising security is to upgrade to windows 11 which is not recommended for unsupported machines or switch to linux.
You can get the Cinnamon Desktop version now but you can get Cinnamon with Mint. Mint is easier and less quirky and Cinnamon works pretty much like windows desktop. The big difference between the two is Mint comes with less apps but they can be added on. I found some trouble with the new Ubuntu that the average user would have trouble fixing. Try Mint first. Both come with way more free software that does the same as most Windows especially for everyday use.
Will this be the end of Windows, nope. That's unfortunate because most of the business world is on Windows and because of the current investment in it, the cost to do anything else is simply unrealistic. For new comers to the PC or for personal use of those not already heavily vested in Windows, with a little patience and some know how, or at least a friend with the know how, Linux is the way to go providing it is extremely easy to use and highly versatile. For the novice computer user, to make Linux an alternative to Windows, software installation within Linux must be terminal free
I am little lost. To me this whole video does not make any sense. WHY? simple you stated that a new user coming to Ubuntu does not know what a snap package is and when they use the Ubuntu store w.e they will install snap. How does that break or make people come to Linux? Windows has a .exe file that means you dont have to use the repository just download what you like. Linux is build a way that you cannot just download a file and run it. It has to be from the store or build the file and so on. You have to find snap or what ever package manager that distro works on. Its like two people from different countries using different languages "no understand, no capish" If you using Windows 7 or vista or windows 10 same file format install done. People that come to Linux have to learn new skill and that makes people just go away from that. It is easier to explain to someone click on download and next, next and so on done then to explain click on command line type in sudo apt install or go find a appimage for gimp. They will look at you and say" what in the world is that" or what is gimp.... I used Linux as a server, desktop and i even did the archiso scripted also did the Ubuntu as a respin. You have dozens of distros that are not in one "government" in a sense and people dont care what it is they want to open up a firm and make money of the software. If people make money and gimp is a good program then everything is good. People today have no idea what operating system they are running all they know is that the software that was put on it works with their employment. Most nurses that I worked with and I work in a hospital have no clue if it is windows 11 or 10. The program that they were trained on works and they perform their duties.
@@guidoopossum That is my point sir. No it's a skill to learn. You have to look for these files not in the normal repo on Ubuntu store. The Windows system is all on .exe. It says download for Windows.
xz version is downgraded from the infected 5.6.1 to 5.4.1 and should not be infected. Of course Canonical would not release an infected version after all the fuss that was prior to this release.
Notice how they took a shot at Linux to try to scare people into staying at MSoft for Win11 ? Pretty obvious ploy. The thing is, closed source corporate software probably has all kinds of back doors built in. You just can't find them because you can't read the code. After the XZ scare, Linux will become the most secure OS in history.
Looks like my specs on my computer... you have a wee bit better graphics (well much better), a wee bit faster CPU (about equal, overclocked A10-58k). I have a wee bit more resolution though (1680x1050). 8GB RAM here also. ---edit I tried Linux (when it was in beta 1992'ish)... just before that I tried a SUN Solaris (BSD variant) on a mainframe with a (SUN?) terminal and the terminal had 68020... (my Amiga back then had 68EC20 but was upgraded quickly to 68030) but it was just fast as hell... Anyway... the Linux was we tried was run on 386 (16 Mhz as I remember) and it was pretty cool... The Mainframe with Sun terminals (was the shit, it was so freakishly fast)... But again... It was cool to see a form of Unix running on a 386 (with 2 MB ram? or something) that had almost the same shell... did not run any graphics though... Anyway... I do remember a "PR" stunt in my office (a small computer consultant firm) knocking on the door and gave us 10 free CD's with Ubuntu with nice sleeves and everything (2004-2005 maybe?)... Ofc I installed it, and sure it was pretty nice... many things did not work though... Graphics (only 640x480), no sound, no adaptec SCSI card, and so on and on... But the basics worked, and it started nice with a GUI... It had promise... as desktop system. Last time I tried Ubuntu was 5 years ago with an older laptop just for fun... and after about 3 days I got pretty much everything working but it was a pain (I do like pain though)... It started with lowres display, no sound, to good display, OK sound (with a lot of fiddling great sound) but a lot of graphical jerkiness... but after a while with a lot of testing, editing and so on it was working... I don't mind the fiddling, I actually like it most of the time. But for me I never got the filesystem structure except for the basics, so with every Linux dist I have installed I always get stumped by where all the shit is and why is that shit in that directory now and why is it not where it was in the other Linux dist and so on and on... Think that is my biggest "gripe"... and I guess I'm an old dog and it takes longer for me to learn... device/paths is also hard for me... I still think I'm in AmigaOS world... and you could exchange anything with everything, softlinks, hardlinks, alias and so on and on... but it just does not work in the same way with Unix/Linux... But as I'm typing this, I just bought another computer... and this computer will get a Linux dist for sure (maybe not Ubuntu though)... I think I will make this computer a headless server of some sort... sadly the new computer is probably going to get Win11 at least at first, I need to transfer and sort everything from this computer and then maybe make a decision to go full Linux or stay with Win11...
I recommend a dual boot if you are really unsure, in your case I do certainly not recommend W11 only. Furthermore, Linux has become a lot more stable in the last couple of years. I recommend Linux Mint.
@@axeldewater9491 Yep I usually did Dualboot a lot of different OS'es before... But Windows 7 and upwards I was a bit afraid too actually... Hadt messing up a system (a specially my old one...

I will do a fresh install on my new computer, then I can playaround with dualboot (I will as you said probably do Linux Mint and Win11.
You know, I love the Debian side of the Linux tree and have used Ubuntu for years on a laptop but I always have more trouble out of it on my desktop than Pop Os or Fedora. I cant stand Mint so I really cant say how stable it is but Pop has been about the best I've used on the Debian side of the tree. Those guys don't play around with stability. Very boring with literally no problems at all. For a dual boot system I would go with Fedora or Ubuntu because Pop doesn't use the grub boot loader. Both work well on Fedora 40 or Ubuntu 24.04. Fedora 40 feels to me like the most complete operating system I've used on Linux. It's pretty boring too. It just works for me which is kind of astounding given the fact that they update it all the time. It's pretty cutting edge but I get the feeling that it is sharp as a tack and no non sense setup. It's the only one of the three I felt like I would purchase. It's made to work and I do all my business on it. I game with it too but as a Nvidia user Pop is better for gaming. They have a setup tweaked just for Nvidia users. Pop doesn't use Wayland yet (x11) and Fedora is all over Wayland. Security. Those Fedora folks have gotten Wayland figured out. that's a good thing for security. Fedora uses BTRFS file system as default and Pop and Ubuntu use Ext4. I get the feeling that Fedora is a serious operating system with Pop being second place and Ubuntu the least serious of the 3. They are all good setups though and I'm being super picky.
Linux would be very great if it didn't have to depend on other companies to survive. Just found out HDMI is no longer supporting Linux. This will render the HDMI ports in all GPUs useless.

@@ArchangelGavriel Proprietary device drivers are closed-source device drivers that are published only in binary code. In Linux, drivers are software components that enable interaction between the operating system and specific hardware devices. Drivers depend on a lot of internal APIs of the kernel, and Linux doesn't care about backwards compatibility of these APIs. For example, drivers can be provided outside of the kernel for things that were not merged or approved, or that cannot be added to the Linux kernel itself.
Lol this we can read for every new distro almost last 10 years, maybe will be end of Windows when anyone make quality DE for Linux, all this now looks very bad UI, also stability is not good on Ubuntu 24 too many bugs is there already reported. All I can see on reddit and some others forums too many users switch from Linux to Windows 11 last year, not sure why ?
yes, depending on your level of confidence dealing with growing pains, it might be wise to wait until they start fixing some of the minor bugs that always seem to plague the first LTS release.
The problem is the Linux widgetsets are still pretty much garbage, I don't even bother to use GTK+ again because it does break my apps every 2 minor releases and makes my clients complaining. Also the Qt apps always looks weird on Gnome and GTK+ apps looks weird on Plasma, it's like Linux desktop is pretty much an incoherent mess. I think I just wait something like OpenHarmony or something, a new UI paradigm for Linux that makes me can throw those GTK+ and Qt madness.
i stopped using micro$oft software literally decades ago. i had a couple of macs but then apple released itunes 11 and that's why i decided to give them the finger and switch to linux.
Ubuntu is very glitchy from my experience. Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon works much better than Ubuntu Cinnamon. When I ran Ubuntu Budgie 24.04 from an external USB SSD it would not support my keyboard and touchpad on my Dell Precision M2800.
I like how Ubuntu 24.04 is a lot more easier to use and maintain for beginners. I like how Windows is just install, wait and use and Ubuntu has come a long way and has become out of the box just like windows.
Frostwire is still a thing just use VPN so your ISP doesn't know what you're doing which they shouldn't be allowed to anyway because it's technically illegal.
Nice mountain, but boring to climb... The only way I'd install Ubuntu or Kubuntu would be to de-snap it. Luckily, there is a script available to de-snap Kubuntu.
It's nice It has nice features It even makes Windows look bad in some instances - ie, multi-monitor support out of the box BUT... it is no substitute for Windows Not even close ... I mean, I don't think I'm alone in wishing it was - every year that goes by, seems like a countdown for MS Windows death. Though for all that Linux actually is, the list of deficiencies in-terms of a Windows replacement can feel endless at times - making it a a very tough sell - if not a deterrent for those attempting the move PS, for perspective, we have full desktop icon management and control over 30 years ago with OS/2 - what the hell happened?!?
I'm frustrated by the clickbait surrounding the new ubuntu update. It's clear it has a long way to go before it truly competes. With technology evolving so rapidly, compatibility issues will likely persist until they catch up, by which point users may have already moved on to newer advancements. My own experience trying to update the cursor only resulted in a system crash and forced logout. This kind of instability makes it difficult to recommend ubuntu for general use. After using Linux distributions, I've gained a new appreciation for Windows, Linux is good in specific contexts, such as server environments or for educational purposes. However, for most everyday tasks, I believe windows offer a more reliable and user-friendly experience.
I don't know specifially about Ubuntu but working as IT on a Company I learned to hate each day more Windows. Using Mint for working or anything with normies has been the best experience in my life, almost no issues, super customizable, solid rock and appealing to the standard user. Windows USED to be friendly and good looking, now it is a mess, adds coming even from the taskbar, Copilot wanting to make you a baby basically on how much it harass you nonstop and jump from any angle. Not to mention the search bar that will search for anything on the web and take half your time when trying to simply launch an App you know you have installe and doesn't even show up there. Don't make me start with the Printers tho... or other drivers, Printers that would work OTB in Linux have so many issues in Windows and sometimes they refuse to work even when the Drivers are the same on different machines, the amount of telemetry and BS services I need to turn off on each computer before giving it to a User (only to know it started to behave wrongly again after any update that screwed all my Config and forced services and bs to start again and set them automatically or even installing more ads and bloat on the system) Oh talking about updates as well... the horrible bad installed updates destroying an OS with the Installing-Rollbacking Loop after some patch. Man please... if you learned to appreciate Windows tell me how and why, because I have only 1 computer with Win10 set apart to play games and for any other thing I go with Linux, even my cats at this point can use a Linux Mint computer and get less issues than using Windows (Sad AF if you ask me) BTW I don't completely hate on Microsoft tho, I have Xbox and I love it, but the latest Updates to the Dashboard made me hate the UI Team on Xbox as well on how they transformed one of the best dashboards in a console I have into a Store Ad Fest where I can't even put all my games on it because 80% of the space is by force being used by them and the attempt to sell me stuff I already bought half the time. Seriously... In 2003 I used to fear each Linux update because I was a scrub on Linux and felt like a pro on Windows... 20 years later I can handle even a weird crash on Arch Manjaro without a sweat but start shaking in panic until a machine with Windows applies and Update and start prying it boots again without breaking something. BTW: Yeah the title was horrible ClickBait and hated it, also commented about it because it isn't even clickbait, it is a bad bs joke.
@@Lanzetsu Linux mint is good, but you cannot convince others to use the OS that you are comfortable with, you never know what use cases others have, you are talking about some driver stuff that you could not found on windows(probably a legacy one). Also it is a fact that most softwares are compatible with windows. I also have a bunch of past stories where I can mention all the horrible things that occurred while I was using Linux but I feel kind of lazy writing here 😂. Irony is you are comfortable with linux mint, which mimics windows most of the time. I have no problem with what OS's other people are using I just hate the bandwagon that some guys start where the start talking shit about a certain OS just to satisfy their own world view. From your msg, I can say that windows did not satisfy your use case but honestly are you willing to convince others to not use it just because you had a problem. Also, you became comfortable with linux after 2 decades 😂, do you think this sounds like a good argument. Kindly take my opinion lightly, yeah I have said windows appreciation thing because it justifies my use case and Linux in its current state is not the best fit.

Another thought for me concerning ms forcing users to dump their current hardware and upgrade - It's eerily similar to the challenges many faced from 2020 through to mid 2023, being placed in a compromising position is not fun and though eventually humankind will ultimately have to choose a direction, at this point and in this context, we do not. Sorry for the vagueness here but this is not a political or religious comment, it's purely about business and consumer choices, I'll take my consumer business elsewhere.
Another doomsayer. Let's be real in as much as I hate Windows it's not going anywhere soon. Contrary to what you believe, more people knows Windows than any Linux-flavoured os. It's just a fact. So choose another click-baiting title for your next video.

That is exactly the point. Windows 11 will demand certain hardware specifications that will surely relegate many still running PCs and Laptops into retirement. LINUX instead will still run on these hardware which are only about 5-12 old. Moreover, Windows will hostage as you will later discover. While so many businesses and private users are locked into Windows by standard or by having gotten used to it for the last 30 years, the upheaval that the advent of Windows 11 will bring will surely convert some Windows users to LINUX in order to prolong the life of their hardware.

Wait. Windows is not going anywhere. Microsoft doesn't care about home users. They care about selling licenses of Windows. This means OEMs buying licenses and companies buying bulk licenses. They don't care about your single PC purchase every 3-4 years. Windows is what fuels business and that's what MS cares about. That said, there's more awareness of Linux systems and what it can do for older hardware that MS wants you to throw into ewaste.

We have 600 machines at my work that are on Windows 10. None of those machines meet the hardware requirements for Windows 11. Most of them are close to or over 15 years old. Our business case to replace them came to over $600,000 just for the hardware. Never mind training or application compatibility testing. I asked for funds to set up a test machine with Ubuntu to determine its suitability as a replacement for the installed Windows Operating system. We do have several custom applications (We are a social agency managing about 50 housing and shelter locations throughout a large city and serve over 500 clients a year.) The hardware is fairly generic HP desktop units and uniform across the enterprise. A few managers have Lenovo 490 and T61 laptops. We have two choices for the applications run them on a VM or use an emulator product on the desktop machine. We do have a database running on an SCO Unix system from the 90's.

You’ve defeated your own argument really by knocking the software installer bundled with Ubuntu and then mentioning the dreaded ‘terminal’ to install something more suitable.

Linux community is a cult and circlejerk, yes it can be a better OS but from the perspective of an outsider it's not straightforward or a simple experience
I've been hearing for thirty plus year how linux is going to replace windows.
Anybody who says that must be in a position to give up all the programs they used to use, and go though a learning curve to get used to things like Open Office and Thunderbird Email. In truth, there bloody well is a learning curve, and your old Windows-based programs likely wont work in Linux. Being retired we could do that, but we're not typical desktop users anymore.
Linux requires an educated user who can also manage their system. Windows has dumbed its users down so their system can be "set it and forget it". For decades I have said that one should have to pass a test before being allowed to use a computer. This would make the abacus great again.
@@SmallTownInTexas I like the way you think. That test would have saved me a lot of extra work in my past career.
I would say that Linux Mint is the one that Windows users should turn to not Ubuntu. Because Linux Mint has 3 desktops that will be the most familiar to Windows users. The Mate, Cinnamon and Xfce which come with Mint all have the Windows style start menu and layout. They don't have Snaps like Ubuntu does. And Mint is also very stable and has a lot of tools to help you out. You can also install other desktops on Linux Mint as I do. I have the KDE desktop and you can also install the Ubuntu Gnome Desktop on Mint. The advantage of this is you get all of the Ubuntu features but without the Snap. Because Mint does not use Snaps. That's why I always use Mint instead of Ubuntu but I am also getting to like Debian. Debian is also another option if you don't want Snaps or Flatpak.
But I recommend fedora.

I recommend Ubuntu to new users got many users on it and they love it. Linux mint is just overrated garbage. We don't need another Windows os we need others. Making mint look like windows was the worst idea those people ever had. It has no identity. Plus many people know Ubuntu already. Mint is only loved by Linux people who already know Linux not people who don't know Linux.
Great video. Could you have a look at Bazzite OS they just updated to version 3.0.0
Ubuntu, right or wrong, my distro. I love Unity, snaps and Ubuntu Pro, all hated by the fake-software-experts. Why Canonical is good and Ubuntu great?
An example: I run an encrypted Virtualbox VM of Ubuntu 16.04 ESM (Unity & Ubuntu Pro) exclusively for my banking. It also runs the latest stable snaps of Firefox and LibreOffice. A secure solution for banking with Unity; Snaps; Extended Security Maintenance (Part of Ubuntu Pro) and Virtualbox!
Another example: I run a VM of Xubuntu 24.04 LTS with MS-Edge for WhatsApp; FB-Messenger and Skype. MS-Edge is auto updated through the PPA, due to the cooperation between Microsoft and Canonical :) :) I use MS-Edge, because it is efficient with memory usage, inactive tabs are put to sleep :)
I believe that during the BETA, Canonical fixed the XZ backdoor problem by replacing the file with an older version that isn't compromised.
Modern Windows is absolute GARBAGE and how people can call it superior to older Windows is beyond me making Windows simple was Microsofts TRUE agenda someone's doing something at Microsoft they're not SUPPOSED to be doing and we need to find out who and charge them for trespassing into people's computer.
@@TechnoMinded-qp5in this is unrelated to the original comment
You opened the video with one thing that would deter the majority of potential users coming from Windows and that's the terminal. Having to remember endless command lines wouldn't fill many with confidence. If there was a distro that required zero use of the terminal then maybe we'd be talking.
linux mint needs minimal terminal use
@@Yoru05 They may well have updated it then. That was the distro I tried switching to before and it certainly did then. I remember getting completely locked out because I typed in my password wrong while trying to change a setting. I couldn't get back in, so my only option was to reinstall Windows.
@@Yoru05Linux mint sucks, looks ugly and doesn't always work especially on new stuff. It's good for freeloaders though just like clem being a canonical freeloader 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ubuntu went astray with snap, its quite some (easy) steps to get rid of it. BUT ubuntu is an awesome basis for better distros like Zorin, Mint, Pop OS. I cant see Linux succeeding Windows in the near future. Almost all people i know are not willing or able to install and use Linux. They use a computer like i use my car, i dont dare to modify it. Dont tell me its easy, i use Linux since 1992....
I am fine with Ubuntu being good and being a Linux user myself (i don't use Ubuntu tho) but saying "End of Windows" is the worst joke I heard this year until now. The day Windows ends will not come by the hand of Linux, instead of Apple maybe or any other thing.
Linux is not the problem,win apps are the problem.
Distribution as well, linux will never gain ground unless it is in everyday stores next to windows as an option to buy with. Unless walmart sells actual number of systems with something like ubunutu, mint, or zorin the gap will remain vast. On top of sofware lock outs like adobe for one
The only time when Linux defeats windows is if linux can play all the triple "A" games especially the triple "A" games that run with the anti-cheat software and as well for linux to be able to support all hardware which it can support most percentage of hardware these days and so therefor in time as linux advances then it might defeat windows till then we have to use windows.
That is a problem true indeed, but only for certain games. Some people have tried running Win 10/11 in a Virtual Machine, and also did some tweak so it doesn't show it is a VM. If Linux gaming population increases then these gaming companies that need to run anti-cheat software might finally cave in and make it for linux as well. One game I play Tanki-Online only requires anti-cheat when you play in competition event tournaments; for regular public matches it doesn't require anti-cheat software. If you use the VM it could get you banned for some games, so I wouldn't try this. They might improve this VM method in the future.
With 2025 aproaching and the mandatory upgrade to win11 looming on the horizon, I'm definitely interested in learning Linux. But I'm thinking about trying Mint, since many say it's more beginner friendly. Would you recomend Ubuntu over Mint?
Go, go, go! Both are great distros to start playing with, but I’d say what Linux Mint offers might feel more “natural” for someone coming from many years of using Windows. You’re about to start a journey that will blow your wig, sir! 😄 There are a few things I believe you should bear in mind from now on when it comes to GNU/Linux: 1. Every project (distribution / flavor) has its own vision. For instance, Mint is a community-driven project spearheaded by veterans, with their users needs at center. Everything they do is to make their users experience as frictionless as possible, while gradually innovating as new needs and requests arise; 2. On the other hand, distributions like Ubuntu (as well as other corporate-backed ones like Fedora or openSUSE) usually define their roadmap based on their commercial needs, or the companies that make use of their tech needs, so expect new developments to be pushed more aggressively hence things possibly breaking more often. Linux Mint and similar distributions are released when they are cooked enough, the other ones may come a little early out of the oven from time to time since they are often bound to hard timelines; 3) Then you have a whole other variety of desktop environments or window managers that you can dress up with the underlying system: Mint’s desktop environment Cinnamon is fully managed by the Mint team, and you can see their live pouring all over the place. Then you have GNOME - the one that uses Ubuntu and Fedora, for example -, which kind of resembles the UI you would expect from a tablet or a similar touch device. Then there is KDE Plasma 6 💙 the one I prefer over all of them, with an initial look and feel similar to the traditional Windows UI, but extensible and customizable beyond your imagination, trust me. There are many more, each one with their own goals, pros ando cons, so at the end of the day it is up to the user to pick the one that “feels right”. We are so lucky here, we live in abundance :) My recommendations is to go and try all the ones that pick your curiosity and see how you feel using them. 4) Because GNU/Linux is not a whole operating system like Windows or macOS or FreeBSD, but different components assembled together to create an operating system, you’ll hear a lot of the different “package managers”, which were the traditional way to install software there. Nowadays there are some new nice alternatives like Flatpak (https;//flathub.org) or Snap (developed and managed by Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu), that makes as easy as with the other platforms to install new software, implementing modern sandboxing techniques along the way to enhance security and prevent malicious applications from harming your system; 5) Learn how to use the terminal! While nowadays you can use most of these GNU/Linux systems geared towards the general public without ever interacting with a terminal, there is where the power lies: unlike with other OS with the exception of FreeBSD, here the graphical interface is an extension - and more often than not a tiny subset - of what you can do with your system from the termina. On top of that, with GNU/Linux your system is YOUR system. You have full control over it. _”With great powers comes great responsibilities”_ - it’s really easy to break it beyond a repairable state if you put your finger where you shouldn’t, trust me 😂; 6. I jumped boat in 2006 or 2007 (I started with Ubuntu back then, which had a very different UI), and after having used lot of diestros like Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and even Linux From Scratch, I continue learning new stuff every day - and I breath Linux and FOSS, being them my daily drivers since then (with a little exception of a couple of years when I used macOS 🙂↔️), and also using them as my go-to option at work (Infrastructure / DevOps / SRE engineer here, think about Kubernetes, Podman, AWS, GCP, Terraform, GitHub Actions, etc); 7. Since you still have time my recommendation would be to start playing with the distros you are considering on a VM (I recommend you VMware Player since you’re on Windows, much better than VirtualBox), so you start getting acquainted with this new and (very) different way of doing things and slowly start buldijg up confidence. Most importantly, you start breaking your systems and learning how to avoid repeating doing that in the future, and better yet, how to fix it. Think about raising the hood of your car and understanding exactly what every part of the engine does - then think back about Windows and macOS, if you can do the same. Spoiler alert: you can’t. Those systems are black boxes that restricts your freedom, your possibilities to use them to your best potential, and the possibility of learning and leveling up. And I even haven’t yet said nothing about *privacy*, or about the disrespect Microsoft treats its users with by charging them for the operating system (no issues with that), only to next shove publicity right into their desktops with new updates! They have no shame, really. Which brings me to the last of the points I wanted to make you know about: 8. There are two main philosophical movements or school of thought here: Free Software (fsf.org, eff.org), and Open Source Software. The first one has more of a dogmatic position, where all the hardware and software should be open and free to access to everyone. It was founded by a guy that was a golden boy at MIT in the 70s and the 80s, frustrated of being restricted to learn how some of the stuff they used at their lab worked because of licensing burdens; the OSS movement has a more down-to-Earth approach if you like, where they are not so focused on “preserving people’s freedoms”, but in achieving technical excellence, to which one of the best things you can do is open your source code so peers can take a look at it and _yay or nay_, share their thoughts, and between everyone come to the best possible solution. Its not a surprise companies back more OSS projects than Free-as-in-Freedom projects, even though the FSF is responsible for the other half of what constitutes a GNU/Linux operating system, the GNU part: gnu.org.
Again, congratulations from deciding to move out of your comfort zone and learn something new - you won’t be disappointed! And if you feel a bit more adventurous, go check some of the amazing new developments popping out of the Fedora community like bazzite.gg/ or projectbluefin.io/. Also, you might want to give a look nixos.org/ which I fell completely in love with and can’t have enough of it! 🎉🐧 😄🤓 Edit: typing on an iPad sucks so baaadly! Can’t wait to have good tablets running full Linux distributions, not just Android :D
Personally, I would recommend Mint / Cinnamon as the first distribution for you to try. That was where we ended up, having used Microsoft operating systems since MS-DOS. But a separate SSD for the Linux installation, with the Windows disk saved aside, would be a wise thing for you to do. That way you can still go back if the Linux learning curve is too steep. And make no mistake, there is a learning curve.
Zorin has snaps and flatpacksl, so a very wide range of software to add to the linux software selection. Also very newbie friendly. Been dual booting it with Win 10 and can see myself using it solely after 2025 as my hardware won't run Win 11. Thanks, MS, for making the decision for me!
I'm running Garuda Cinnamon it makes your computer faster and more powerful by simplifying your computer a lot of people are using the Garuda distro and they have expert Operating Systems as well there doesn't appear to be an End of Life since it's open source compared to Windows.
I've dabbled with linux off and on for nearly ten years. It really isn't user friendly for most people. The vast majority of users want to turn on the machine, have automatic updates and have a seamless experience. Very few people want to do anything in command lines.
Ubuntu is now very easy to use.
It's moved on now, it basically works like MAC OS now. Very easy to use.
Unless you are doing basic tasks like web browsing, you will always find something and you are correct. The average person will never care enough to put up with it. Windows is the enemy but its the enemy they know and the big software is aligned with them and people needing to fix or configre files to make things work is asking too much
Thanks Steve!! I don't like snap. I do like the issues you raised!!!
snaps are fine. They work well enough now. You won't notice 2% speed slow down.
I've been running Windows for 32 years but have only occasionally dabbled with Linux on spare machines, most recently Mint.
I have never heard of snaps; what are they? My usual route for getting software is to search in a browser, download and install. I can't work from home on a Linux machine because I need MS Office installed locally. I still don't have any Windows 11 compatible machines and don't know what to do in 18 months time.
Okay so, Windows uses ".exe"-packages as their programs, right? Linux has multiple formats to package a program, there is no(t yet a) standard package format on Linux. This is because Linux is not created by a company but by many different people with many different views on what is the right way to package a program. At the moment there are 4 major types of packages: native packages, flatpaks, snaps and appimages.
Every distribution of Linux (there are several versions and flavors of linux which are called distributions) has native packages, that only work for that distribution of Linux. Its pro is that it has been packaged such that it works completely correct in that specific distribution. Its con is that this means that this native packages does not work on another distribution: every distribution needs to maintain their own package of this certain program.
Flatpaks are an attempt to create a universal package format that makes sure that it works on *any* distribution, not only one distribution. Most distributions support flatpaks out of the box and otherwise you can easily install "Flathub" and then use flatpaks. Pros are that it is easy to maintain and publish to Linux, and that everything about it is open source. Con is that in order to be this flexible it is inside a sandbox and could therefore be a little slower or lack certain features because they require to escape this sandbox.
Snaps are also an attempt to create an universal package format, but instead of made by the community, it has been created by Ubuntu's company, Canonical. The backend is not completely open source and Canonical is really forcing its users to use it. Linux users don't like to be forced onto something, that is why the maker of the video was complaining. Furthermore, snaps qualitatively behave worse than Flatpaks, while trying to achieve the same goal. So it is basically Canonical trying to become a standard instead of Flathub, so that they get more control over the Linux ecosystem as a whole, because the decisions Canonical makes on this topic are not in the benefit of the user at this moment (because flatpaks generally behave a lot better). Canonical even tries to get users to use snaps instead of the native Ubuntu packages, the ones I first talked about, even though the native packages work much better because they are made specifically for Ubuntu.
Lastly there are AppImages. Those are the equivalent to Portable programs on Windows, and behave a bit like MacOS apps: you download a file, you make it runnable, you click on it, and it runs. This is also an attempt to create a universal package, but it has not taken off (yet), mostly because many users think it is much easier to either download a program from the software manage or to use the terminal, because these are quicker than using the browser and finding the file and then downloading it. Because of this, not many programs are packaged as AppImages and not many people therefore use them.
I hope this comment helps with understanding Linux packages, and hopefully you'll be able to successfully transition from Windows to Linux without too many problems, and of course that you will like and enjoy it and stay! You'll discover that it is not really difficult, but more that it is new and different, and you'll need some time to adjust. If you ever encounter any problems, you can ask me here!
@@axeldewater9491 Thank you.
You have confirmed that it is more complicated that I realised.
Gonna be a steep learning curve!
@@ThePhilGrimm I understand that. But just keep in mind that it is not necessarily more difficult (sometimes it is, but usually not), it usually is just very different. When you only know English, Spanish feels very difficult and vice versa, but both languages are almost equally difficult compared to each other. It just takes some time to learn the other language. Same goes with operating systems.
Most will not switch unless the programmes they use are on Linux. Most do not want the hassle of having to learn new software. Unless the likes of Adobe, etc. start releasing software on Linux, and it will never beat Windows.
heck more to the point the common everyday person is never going to image a system over windows, the over whelming majority don't even know updates let alone install a different OS of which its just a fact. Users of those levels would be dead in the water.
the perfect example trying to share your screen and audio on linux for discord....such a simple task and yet...no low knowledge user would ever resolve. and so many other quirks that take some level of effort to correct.
i dont understand where people think cherry picked examples mean anything in mass, linux community itself is all about terminal once you hit a certain level. that is laughable suggestion to the everyday person who cares less that linux is a thing or knows it exists.
Wait, I’m pretty sure you can install Deb packages from the software center. All you have to do is click the “filter by” box in the search results and select Debian packages instead of snaps. 🤷🏻
I'm pretty sure many apps don't appear in this shitty shop even if they are on repository
@@K-CHOMA Some libraries and such, yes they don't seem to appear in software centre. But most of the major apps like the ones he was talking about in this video do. It's just that they prioritize snap versions and new users wouldn't immediately know to switch over to .deb in search.
I checked and the version of XZ utilities is DEFINITELY NOT the infected one.
I was wondering, how did you get your taskbar like that? Or is that the original taskbar?
It’s an option in the settings app. Panel mode on/off.

This guy is delusional. Ubuntu will not be the end of windows. Most people don't even know what Linux is so never mind heard about Ubuntu. Can't take a desktop OS seriously that doesn't have hardware acceleration support for videos in browsers. Low power CPUs cannot handle it and more mainstream CPUs will be a a high usage and power draw when this really should be offloaded to GPU. This and many other missing features are why it will never be taken seriously by anyone and only used by hobbyists.
You really have no idea what you are talking about lmao.
Linux is very lightweight compared to Windows. ESPECIALLY low power cpus could benefit from Linux.
Furthermore, there is hardware acceleration for videos in browsers? What you on about?
Have you ever even touched a Linux install or are you just repeating the nonsense you have heard on the internet?
@@axeldewater9491 I have used a Linux install and when watching youtube videos in Chrome based browser and Firefox it is using the CPU not the GPU to decode which uses much more power as CPUs are not designed for this. GPUs are much more efficient at this. If you think the opposite you have no clue about computing.
I know it isn't using the GPU for acceleration as the CPU usage jumps to 80%+ usage. On windows its at 10% usage as its offloaded to GPU. This mean on Linux I have higher power draw, nosier system as fans have to spin up and less responsive system as CPU is under heavy load.
Try watching a 4K 60FPS youtube video on a modest spec PC and watch the CPU usage max out.
@@jspink93 Hardware video decode has been around for a while IF you have an AMD gpu. if you're using Nvidia, they have had mixed support over the years but mostly a bad experience. If you're running linux and don't need Cuda cores - then go AMD. But yeah I agree with you, Windows isn't going anywhere.

24,04 has been buggy for me. Preview of pictures and videos on the desktop still doesnt work.
I run an old Lenovo and its working for me!! What is it your trying to do?? what type of computer you using? What are the Apps your using!! Its NOT buggy so far.
I've been testing Ubuntu 24.04 with my late 2015 5K iMac and have had very few problems with it. Most of the problems I had were just me not remembering how to do things om Linux and having to re-familiarize myself. I think this will be a great OS to take the place of macOS Monterey when it ends support this coming fall, and this iMac will no longer be supported by Apple. I'm using the Cinnamon Ubuntu 24.04 flavor and also Kubuntu as I also like KDE. Currently I have been running each install from an external hard drive until I decide it's time to install as the main OS.
Also wanted to note that 24.04 seems to have fixed the random audio issues I was having when trying previous releases such as 22.04 and below.
Also I feel that any experienced user will find Linux and macOS quite similar in terms of the underlying Unix system, and most of the challenges may just be in the desktop experience and finding alternative software (depending on needs.)
Hi mate I have restall Windows 10 this laptop because I have hard enough of Windows 11 which Linux system replace it with it it's staying on here .

the problem with the audio is hard to help you solve without knowing a bit more
did it work then suddenly stopped or did it not work at all
if it worked but stopped suddenly it means that the sound card at least is detected by the OS and that is a good start
if not it means that it needs a driver

did the sound bar in the sound settings still move
do you use internal or external speakers or a headphone at the time
it could be a loose connection or that the audio has been muted by accident or that the sound settings are wrong like having it on digital output instead of analog or headphones instead of 5.1 surround sound I have done this my self by accident

I'm from the Commodore 64 generation and choose for Linux O.S.
I think this Ubuntu will spell the end of Windows. Not so much because Ubuntu. But because once Linux Mint gets a hold of this and refines it, I think you will see as perfect a desktop OS as you can get. Ubuntu is a great foundation. But lost the plot with desktop users. Understandable. They would not be the solid foundation they are if they focused on desktop. They need to focus more on corporate needs because that makes them the money they use to make their solid base. Linux Mint takes it that extra mile and brings it home for the desktop user. They can focus more on the desktop users. Wish Ubuntu and Linux Mint would get a long better. They both bring something to the table the other does not and desperately needs. Lol. If they were to combine forces, they would be an unstoppable distro.
Canonical needs to do what red hat did and make it impossible to make a clone off it so Linux mint and friends can create their own os. Not use canonicals work. All these distros shouldn't even exist in the first place.
There's still a lot of people that don't know that Ubuntu/Linux exist's. At least here in the US. All's they know about is Windows and Mac. And most people don't even know that Mac is based off BSD which is Unix based. Instead of buying extremely expensive hardware just so that they can us Mac's OS they could be buying cheap or inexpensive hardware and using any Unix or Unix like OS for free.

2. The desktop theme of Ubuntu's GNOME can be as beautiful as the one of Mint's Cinnamon.

i'd say for a beginner linux mint 100 percent. im on manjaro and its great for gaming but need to add a terminal command to get aur installing programs right and that may be too much for some. i hear cachy os ,endevour os, pop os, garuda, and nobara are all great for gaming as well.
If you have newer hardware then you can get Linux Mint EDGE. This new Ubuntu has the Linux kernel 6.8; to use newer AMD RADEON 7000 graphic cards you need Linux kernel 6.3 and up.
This is not the end of windows, the regular everyday user will put up with what they give with no thought for linux. The few anecdotal examples people cherry pick to show windows is dead are the same ones saying"year of the linux desktop" for over a decade now. Linux is great, linux for server is better but user side will always be niche.
If they can get actual support from the big software like adobe and overall just general software support and have actual distribution. So you see them in walmarts being sold on hardware then true ground would be gained. Also deciding and putting in a concentrated effort into one DE would help cement a feel of "linux" to the common person. Same with package manager
Agree! Many businesses have virtually been held hostage by Microsoft with its admirably unified eco-system of its OS and its applications. But it is a huge possibility that many PC and laptop owners may swing to LINUX to be able to continue using their old but still running hardware that do not qualify for Windows 11.
"The end of Windows"? C'mon now, you're turning a respectable channel into a joke. Try to keep it real!
it is because windows 10 won't supporting unsupported machines in 2025 unless you pay for security services and those unsupported machines still dominates more than 60% of windows users So the only way to use the unsupported machines without compromising security is to upgrade to windows 11 which is not recommended for unsupported machines or switch to linux.
@@codentags9990 And this represents "The end of Windows"?
@@codentags9990 I am curious in 2025 how many users will migrate to Linux. You have any estimates?
If rumors confirmed, Windows 11 update if requireds 8gb ram. Well... We see
You can get the Cinnamon Desktop version now but you can get Cinnamon with Mint. Mint is easier and less quirky and Cinnamon works pretty much like windows desktop. The big difference between the two is Mint comes with less apps but they can be added on. I found some trouble with the new Ubuntu that the average user would have trouble fixing. Try Mint first. Both come with way more free software that does the same as most Windows especially for everyday use.
Will never happen unfortunately.
ahhh.... I wish I can get high end machine to try out this Ubuntu 24 ... thanks for sharing uncle.
Will this be the end of Windows, nope. That's unfortunate because most of the business world is on Windows and because of the current investment in it, the cost to do anything else is simply unrealistic. For new comers to the PC or for personal use of those not already heavily vested in Windows, with a little patience and some know how, or at least a friend with the know how, Linux is the way to go providing it is extremely easy to use and highly versatile. For the novice computer user, to make Linux an alternative to Windows, software installation within Linux must be terminal free
I am little lost. To me this whole video does not make any sense. WHY? simple you stated that a new user coming to Ubuntu does not know what a snap package is and when they use the Ubuntu store w.e they will install snap. How does that break or make people come to Linux? Windows has a .exe file that means you dont have to use the repository just download what you like. Linux is build a way that you cannot just download a file and run it. It has to be from the store or build the file and so on. You have to find snap or what ever package manager that distro works on. Its like two people from different countries using different languages "no understand, no capish" If you using Windows 7 or vista or windows 10 same file format install done. People that come to Linux have to learn new skill and that makes people just go away from that. It is easier to explain to someone click on download and next, next and so on done then to explain click on command line type in sudo apt install or go find a appimage for gimp. They will look at you and say" what in the world is that" or what is gimp.... I used Linux as a server, desktop and i even did the archiso scripted also did the Ubuntu as a respin. You have dozens of distros that are not in one "government" in a sense and people dont care what it is they want to open up a firm and make money of the software. If people make money and gimp is a good program then everything is good. People today have no idea what operating system they are running all they know is that the software that was put on it works with their employment. Most nurses that I worked with and I work in a hospital have no clue if it is windows 11 or 10. The program that they were trained on works and they perform their duties.
Linux has appimage files that work same as .exe.
@@guidoopossum That is my point sir. No it's a skill to learn. You have to look for these files not in the normal repo on Ubuntu store. The Windows system is all on .exe. It says download for Windows.
@@Muriz26 I don't see any problems. Using snapstore or some flatpak store same as use google play (people don't struggle use phone).
xz version is downgraded from the infected 5.6.1 to 5.4.1 and should not be infected. Of course Canonical would not release an infected version after all the fuss that was prior to this release.
Notice how they took a shot at Linux to try to scare people into staying at MSoft for Win11 ?
Pretty obvious ploy.
The thing is, closed source corporate software probably has all kinds of back doors built in.
You just can't find them because you can't read the code.
After the XZ scare, Linux will become the most secure OS in history.
Looks like my specs on my computer... you have a wee bit better graphics (well much better), a wee bit faster CPU (about equal, overclocked A10-58k). I have a wee bit more resolution though (1680x1050). 8GB RAM here also.
---edit
I tried Linux (when it was in beta 1992'ish)... just before that I tried a SUN Solaris (BSD variant) on a mainframe with a (SUN?) terminal and the terminal had 68020... (my Amiga back then had 68EC20 but was upgraded quickly to 68030) but it was just fast as hell... Anyway... the Linux was we tried was run on 386 (16 Mhz as I remember) and it was pretty cool... The Mainframe with Sun terminals (was the shit, it was so freakishly fast)... But again... It was cool to see a form of Unix running on a 386 (with 2 MB ram? or something) that had almost the same shell... did not run any graphics though...
Anyway... I do remember a "PR" stunt in my office (a small computer consultant firm) knocking on the door and gave us 10 free CD's with Ubuntu with nice sleeves and everything (2004-2005 maybe?)... Ofc I installed it, and sure it was pretty nice... many things did not work though... Graphics (only 640x480), no sound, no adaptec SCSI card, and so on and on... But the basics worked, and it started nice with a GUI... It had promise... as desktop system.
Last time I tried Ubuntu was 5 years ago with an older laptop just for fun... and after about 3 days I got pretty much everything working but it was a pain (I do like pain though)... It started with lowres display, no sound, to good display, OK sound (with a lot of fiddling great sound) but a lot of graphical jerkiness... but after a while with a lot of testing, editing and so on it was working...
I don't mind the fiddling, I actually like it most of the time. But for me I never got the filesystem structure except for the basics, so with every Linux dist I have installed I always get stumped by where all the shit is and why is that shit in that directory now and why is it not where it was in the other Linux dist and so on and on...
Think that is my biggest "gripe"... and I guess I'm an old dog and it takes longer for me to learn... device/paths is also hard for me...
I still think I'm in AmigaOS world... and you could exchange anything with everything, softlinks, hardlinks, alias and so on and on... but it just does not work in the same way with Unix/Linux...
But as I'm typing this, I just bought another computer... and this computer will get a Linux dist for sure (maybe not Ubuntu though)... I think I will make this computer a headless server of some sort... sadly the new computer is probably going to get Win11 at least at first, I need to transfer and sort everything from this computer and then maybe make a decision to go full Linux or stay with Win11...
I recommend a dual boot if you are really unsure, in your case I do certainly not recommend W11 only. Furthermore, Linux has become a lot more stable in the last couple of years. I recommend Linux Mint.
@@axeldewater9491 Yep I usually did Dualboot a lot of different OS'es before... But Windows 7 and upwards I was a bit afraid too actually... Hadt messing up a system (a specially my old one... Has been upgraded from Windows XP actually... Started with Windows XP Pro then Upgraded to Windows 7 Pro and now running Windows 10 Pro... So it's old with files everywhere :-) (even has my backups of 95,95B, 98, 98SE, W2000 also...
Linux Mint i did install on my sons computer (similar to my 2012 spec) and he has been running it for awhile and seems great!
I will do a fresh install on my new computer, then I can playaround with dualboot (I will as you said probably do Linux Mint and Win11.
Can i get ubuntu to have the task bar like yours without a bunch of nonsense?
In settings app. Panel mode on/off.
You know, I love the Debian side of the Linux tree and have used Ubuntu for years on a laptop but I always have more trouble out of it on my desktop than Pop Os or Fedora. I cant stand Mint so I really cant say how stable it is but Pop has been about the best I've used on the Debian side of the tree. Those guys don't play around with stability. Very boring with literally no problems at all. For a dual boot system I would go with Fedora or Ubuntu because Pop doesn't use the grub boot loader. Both work well on Fedora 40 or Ubuntu 24.04. Fedora 40 feels to me like the most complete operating system I've used on Linux. It's pretty boring too. It just works for me which is kind of astounding given the fact that they update it all the time. It's pretty cutting edge but I get the feeling that it is sharp as a tack and no non sense setup. It's the only one of the three I felt like I would purchase. It's made to work and I do all my business on it. I game with it too but as a Nvidia user Pop is better for gaming. They have a setup tweaked just for Nvidia users. Pop doesn't use Wayland yet (x11) and Fedora is all over Wayland. Security. Those Fedora folks have gotten Wayland figured out. that's a good thing for security. Fedora uses BTRFS file system as default and Pop and Ubuntu use Ext4. I get the feeling that Fedora is a serious operating system with Pop being second place and Ubuntu the least serious of the 3. They are all good setups though and I'm being super picky.
Linux would be very great if it didn't have to depend on other companies to survive. Just found out HDMI is no longer supporting Linux. This will render the HDMI ports in all GPUs useless. Linux is basically getting screwed. I had my heart set on building a linux machine until i found out about this. Looks like Windows has the "W" here.
i run a 32" 165 hz lg ultra gear on the hdmi port and i also game on it with manjaro kde.
@@csh9853 you haven't seen any resolution drop in the graphics or speedrate decrease? I am very curious because as i said, i have my heart set on making a linux machine but if i cant use the hdmi port then the setup i want is ruined.
@@ArchangelGavriel i play at 1080p and im getting about the same fps as i was on windows 11. the only problem is i dont get amd control panel like in windows but i did download lact to control my fans speeds. now with all that said i only play games on steam. mostly single player racing games.
@@csh9853 hm. HDMI forum said they were not going to let Linux create and open source driver for their HDMI2.1. And there is no other source to say whether or not they will stil function afterwards or not. I admit i got very frustrated. I will most likely be running WoW, Minecraft, and Steam as well. Not worried too much about the 4k but i would like to run at 1080hd or 1440. I really appreciate the input you have given me. Gives me a little hope.
@@ArchangelGavriel Proprietary device drivers are closed-source device drivers that are published only in binary code. In Linux, drivers are software components that enable interaction between the operating system and specific hardware devices. Drivers depend on a lot of internal APIs of the kernel, and Linux doesn't care about backwards compatibility of these APIs. For example, drivers can be provided outside of the kernel for things that were not merged or approved, or that cannot be added to the Linux kernel itself.
Lol this we can read for every new distro almost last 10 years, maybe will be end of Windows when anyone make quality DE for Linux, all this now looks very bad UI, also stability is not good on Ubuntu 24 too many bugs is there already reported. All I can see on reddit and some others forums too many users switch from Linux to Windows 11 last year, not sure why ?
Howdy! Your video is kick a$$! You sound like an old friend of mine called "LinuxHelpGuy" back when I was fishmanloveslinux. I subbed your channel.

The problem is the Linux widgetsets are still pretty much garbage, I don't even bother to use GTK+ again because it does break my apps every 2 minor releases and makes my clients complaining. Also the Qt apps always looks weird on Gnome and GTK+ apps looks weird on Plasma, it's like Linux desktop is pretty much an incoherent mess. I think I just wait something like OpenHarmony or something, a new UI paradigm for Linux that makes me can throw those GTK+ and Qt madness.
This looks nice to code on
Yeah, excellent. Apart of it won't wake up from suspend. I freaking hate it for that.
Anything that has to do with Microsoft I’m not gonna use any more
i stopped using micro$oft software literally decades ago. i had a couple of macs but then apple released itunes 11 and that's why i decided to give them the finger and switch to linux.
Ubuntu is very glitchy from my experience. Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon works much better than Ubuntu Cinnamon. When I ran Ubuntu Budgie 24.04 from an external USB SSD it would not support my keyboard and touchpad on my Dell Precision M2800.
I like how Ubuntu 24.04 is a lot more easier to use and maintain for beginners. I like how Windows is just install, wait and use and Ubuntu has come a long way and has become out of the box just like windows.
Waiting for Bobuntu 24.04.😂😂
Frostwire is still a thing just use VPN so your ISP doesn't know what you're doing which they shouldn't be allowed to anyway because it's technically illegal.
Nice mountain, but boring to climb... The only way I'd install Ubuntu or Kubuntu would be to de-snap it. Luckily, there is a script available to de-snap Kubuntu.
It's nice
It has nice features
It even makes Windows look bad in some instances - ie, multi-monitor support out of the box
BUT... it is no substitute for Windows
Not even close ...
I mean, I don't think I'm alone in wishing it was - every year that goes by, seems like a countdown for MS Windows death.
Though for all that Linux actually is, the list of deficiencies in-terms of a Windows replacement can feel endless at times - making it a a very tough sell - if not a deterrent for those attempting the move
PS, for perspective, we have full desktop icon management and control over 30 years ago with OS/2 - what the hell happened?!?
I'm frustrated by the clickbait surrounding the new ubuntu update. It's clear it has a long way to go before it truly competes. With technology evolving so rapidly, compatibility issues will likely persist until they catch up, by which point users may have already moved on to newer advancements.
My own experience trying to update the cursor only resulted in a system crash and forced logout. This kind of instability makes it difficult to recommend ubuntu for general use.
After using Linux distributions, I've gained a new appreciation for Windows, Linux is good in specific contexts, such as server environments or for educational purposes. However, for most everyday tasks, I believe windows offer a more reliable and user-friendly experience.
I don't know specifially about Ubuntu but working as IT on a Company I learned to hate each day more Windows.
Using Mint for working or anything with normies has been the best experience in my life, almost no issues, super customizable, solid rock and appealing to the standard user.
Windows USED to be friendly and good looking, now it is a mess, adds coming even from the taskbar, Copilot wanting to make you a baby basically on how much it harass you nonstop and jump from any angle. Not to mention the search bar that will search for anything on the web and take half your time when trying to simply launch an App you know you have installe and doesn't even show up there.
Don't make me start with the Printers tho... or other drivers, Printers that would work OTB in Linux have so many issues in Windows and sometimes they refuse to work even when the Drivers are the same on different machines, the amount of telemetry and BS services I need to turn off on each computer before giving it to a User (only to know it started to behave wrongly again after any update that screwed all my Config and forced services and bs to start again and set them automatically or even installing more ads and bloat on the system)
Oh talking about updates as well... the horrible bad installed updates destroying an OS with the Installing-Rollbacking Loop after some patch.
Man please... if you learned to appreciate Windows tell me how and why, because I have only 1 computer with Win10 set apart to play games and for any other thing I go with Linux, even my cats at this point can use a Linux Mint computer and get less issues than using Windows (Sad AF if you ask me)
BTW I don't completely hate on Microsoft tho, I have Xbox and I love it, but the latest Updates to the Dashboard made me hate the UI Team on Xbox as well on how they transformed one of the best dashboards in a console I have into a Store Ad Fest where I can't even put all my games on it because 80% of the space is by force being used by them and the attempt to sell me stuff I already bought half the time.
Seriously... In 2003 I used to fear each Linux update because I was a scrub on Linux and felt like a pro on Windows... 20 years later I can handle even a weird crash on Arch Manjaro without a sweat but start shaking in panic until a machine with Windows applies and Update and start prying it boots again without breaking something.
BTW: Yeah the title was horrible ClickBait and hated it, also commented about it because it isn't even clickbait, it is a bad bs joke.
@@Lanzetsu Linux mint is good, but you cannot convince others to use the OS that you are comfortable with, you never know what use cases others have, you are talking about some driver stuff that you could not found on windows(probably a legacy one). Also it is a fact that most softwares are compatible with windows. I also have a bunch of past stories where I can mention all the horrible things that occurred while I was using Linux but I feel kind of lazy writing here 😂. Irony is you are comfortable with linux mint, which mimics windows most of the time. I have no problem with what OS's other people are using I just hate the bandwagon that some guys start where the start talking shit about a certain OS just to satisfy their own world view. From your msg, I can say that windows did not satisfy your use case but honestly are you willing to convince others to not use it just because you had a problem. Also, you became comfortable with linux after 2 decades 😂, do you think this sounds like a good argument.
Kindly take my opinion lightly, yeah I have said windows appreciation thing because it justifies my use case and Linux in its current state is not the best fit.
Why do you sound so suspiciously like the English Bob?
I love linux, but lets be honest, linux never end the Windows. Kinda bored about Linux content always bringing the title to end the Windows or whatsoever, the facts, as developer I used Linux as WSL right now, its more than enough rather than to install Linux as Native bootable OS.
Windows is ending Windows.

Another thought for me concerning ms forcing users to dump their current hardware and upgrade - It's eerily similar to the challenges many faced from 2020 through to mid 2023, being placed in a compromising position is not fun and though eventually humankind will ultimately have to choose a direction, at this point and in this context, we do not. Sorry for the vagueness here but this is not a political or religious comment, it's purely about business and consumer choices, I'll take my consumer business elsewhere.
I switched to ubuntu after a windows 10 update rendered my 1TB hard drive useless. I'll never use windows again after that!
Another doomsayer. Let's be real in as much as I hate Windows it's not going anywhere soon. Contrary to what you believe, more people knows Windows than any Linux-flavoured os. It's just a fact. So choose another click-baiting title for your next video.

Your specs are from 2016. Linux perfect for you then.
That is exactly the point. Windows 11 will demand certain hardware specifications that will surely relegate many still running PCs and Laptops into retirement. LINUX instead will still run on these hardware which are only about 5-12 old. Moreover, Windows will hostage as you will later discover. While so many businesses and private users are locked into Windows by standard or by having gotten used to it for the last 30 years, the upheaval that the advent of Windows 11 will bring will surely convert some Windows users to LINUX in order to prolong the life of their hardware.
