I honestly forgot I used Linux, I put it in my laptop back in 2021, I was always into tech based stuff so this was one of those learning journey's, but it has been running fairly smoothly and nobody believes me when I say I use Linux and I have not reinstalled my distro since 2021.
I no more really play around with it, I just use my laptop for my daily shit. Works for what it is
Ok
My daily driver uses a distro based on Ubuntu 18.04. I'll have to upgrade soon but it works OK for me, for now. My carry-around laptop uses a 20.04 based distro.
*journeys (plural non-possessive)

Same. From 2006 (explicitly 6.06 Dapper Drake) up until this year (when Canonical *seriously* cheesed me off) I could confidently say:
- My system just works
- I spend zero time fiddling with things
- I put zero thought into my choice of distro

Linux has changed A LOT in the past few years alone!
It's become a lot more user-friendly, and now we literally have thousands of games that work on it (thanks to Steam and Proton)
@@kabochaVA Ok? I'm not interested in playing games. I need my multiple monitors + label and standard printers to work, not to mention a multitude of random things I use from barcode scanners, document readers, and even my old VR headset.
I know for a fact that Linux will require me to waste days on forums looking for non-existent answers on all of the problems that are guaranteed to arise from using those things with it.
The minute I have to open a command line, I'm out. Not worth it.
When you actually want to get work done it’s still a dumpster fire.
im just glad the "just works" thing is actually a real thing now. Ive been using linux off and on and because of the increase in marketshare it seems a lot of the DEs and OSs are so much more stable than they used to be and yeah they "just work"
I beg to differ. As long as you have to touch the command line, it will never just works. And with Linux, the command line is unavoidable for one simple reason - distros. As long as they exist, Linux will never ever "just works".

@@ruekurei88 You can't turn off all Microsoft telemetry, besides Microsoft has left deliberate holes in the OS for the US government to use. If you disagree then you don't understand that Windows is closed source and you have no reasonable expectation of not being eavesdropped.
"Sudo apt but not get" was another level 🤣🤣🤣
It's simple...the command, if you have already received the repository or repositories, if you typed it correctly Installs the package or program...or it doesn't if you didn't type it correctly or you don't have the repository from which to get it from.

Many people think of Linux as a basic, outdated operating system only used by tech enthusiasts and programmers. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable system that is used in a wide range of applications and industries. From servers that power the internet, to supercomputers used for scientific research, Linux is the backbone of modern technology. It's also used in embedded systems, such as routers and smart devices, as well as in mobile phones and tablets.
Additionally, Linux is open-source software, meaning it can be modified, distributed and used for any purpose, by anyone. This allows for a vast array of different distributions, tailored to suit the needs of different users, from beginners to experts.
Another important aspect of Linux is security, as it is less susceptible to malware and viruses compared to other operating systems. This makes it a popular choice for businesses and organizations that handle sensitive information.
In short, the next time you hear someone dismiss Linux as a hobbyist's operating system, remember that it's actually the backbone of much of the technology we rely on today. And with the constant development and contributions of its community, it's not going away anytime soon.
While I have had issues with Linux, they feel much more valid and fixable, whereas on Windows, they seem to come out of nowhere and are much harder to fix, if at all, leaving me feeling hopeless.
As a longtime Linux user I found this genuinely funny. Well done.
"Oh boy, my OS is nearing its end of life, and the new version does not support my current hardware. I'm gonna have to buy a new computer at the worst possible time (components have become expensive because of numerous shortages) and buy a new licence for the OS itself, all so that I could keep getting the latest security updates...."
And thus ends today's episode of THIS NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED THEATHER.
@@xandercruz900 I wanted to upgrade to Windows 11 as soon as possible on my Ryzen 1800 (which was only 3 years old at the time) and guess what? It's not supported by Windows 11; need a new CPU, and a motherboard that supports TPM2.
This was during the pandemic, when PC components became crazy expensive (because of either chip shortages, or the crypto-craze)

That one about nobody encountering issues before is so true. If there is a problem with Linux, you will never say that, you'll Google it and instantly see 500 posts from years ago that all have the exact fix you need

As a Linux user,
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
I have been using Ubuntu for the last 13 years. Not planning to change. And I do value my time. And it does just work.
Actually... I at some point upgraded my computer, but not wanting to deal with installing things and copying files over, I decided to try to simply plug my old harddrive in my new computer, and to my surprise _everything just worked_
Yep. While the experience can vary wildly, there are plenty of Linux distros that "just work."
Linux user never says "I've been streaming to my friends on discord/steam"
Luke from Linus Media Group got his to work if I recall correctly a couple of years ago
Huh, I do it all the time
"I hate FOSS Software!" is what a Linux user will never say.
Linux users also never say "I'm gonna install this closed source software"
and
"I wouldn't gut every component of my os just so I could free up a little extra ram"
I mean other then when using more then one video adapter Linux Mint just works.
Ty I thought I was the only one thinking the same thing.
Linux user never says "I don't want neofetch on my computer"
I do.
Nemo --version ; inxi -Fxxxmprz is better anyways ...and I've created a simple bashcript GUI button that executes that, highlights ALL of the results...and does a copy of it...ready to be pasted in any online forum of a Debian or Ubuntu based distro .
Actually I find a lot of Linux users do say "it just works".
yep, I've used that for several things before
1:15 hits home with me 😂😂
I used to love a linux distro desktop gui design which looked so modern like the windows 7 aero type design. Linux is now even available in windows as a subsystem.
Of all these 19 things I can only remember "It just works" that is Apple's unoffical slogan :)
"It just works, except when it doesn't."
It works until you update mac os
"There is no good solution for that on Linux. Just use Windows."
Fun fact: That cube was the reason I even remembered Linux during a field trip for computer class in 2008. We built a PC that ran Linux. Remembered it again years later while getting pissed at Windows.
Been running Linux exclusively for like 2 or so years now. Never going back. (Don't ask how many times I've installed different distros or reinstalled for the heck of it.)
As a Linux user, I'm surprised that about 90% of this was accurate.
Agreed
Love Sam's videos! I dabbled with Linux quite a bit 10 years ago or so, and loved it. I'm older, though, and now I just want things to work. So at this point my preferred version of Linux is Chrome OS. 🙂

If you buy Chromebooks keep in mind they stop getting security updates after about 5 years after launch. I learned that one the hard way...

Linux is a versatile operating system that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is the foundation of many operating systems and has become the standard for high-performance computing, cloud computing, and embedded systems. Linux is used in everything from supercomputers to mobile phones, from gaming consoles to car entertainment systems, and from home media centers to enterprise-level servers.
One of the key reasons for the widespread use of Linux is its stability and reliability. Linux has been designed from the ground up to be a secure and stable operating system that can be used in a variety of applications. The Linux kernel is highly customizable, allowing developers to tailor the operating system to meet their specific needs. Additionally, Linux has a large community of developers and users who contribute to the development and maintenance of the operating system, which helps ensure that it continues to evolve and improve over time.
Another important factor that contributes to the popularity of Linux is its open-source nature. This means that the source code of the operating system is freely available to everyone, which allows developers to make modifications and improvements to the code. This also means that Linux is not controlled by a single company or organization, which makes it less susceptible to commercial interests and more likely to remain independent and open in the future.
In conclusion, Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable operating system that is used in a wide range of applications. Its stability, reliability, and open-source nature make it a popular choice for developers, businesses, and individuals alike. Whether you're a computer scientist working on a high-performance computing cluster, a software developer building a cloud-based application, or a home user looking for a stable and secure operating system for your personal computer, Linux is a great choice.
Linux is ❤️
0:34 "No I just picked any distro." 😂
But the "it just works" is something I have said with Linux several times. I am always pleasantly surprised that our home printer just freaking works with my linux PC and is a real bastard to install on my wife's windows PC. Every damn time. But yeah, the rest seems right haha
I laughed the most at the parts featuring elementaryOS and their AppCenter.
I was NOT prepared for the last joke
"Of course, the first laptop I tried Mint on was REALLY old, not just old compared to this year's new models, so the distro didn't work well on it."
I remember when I used Linux. For a week.
It's amazing os
Shame not everything "just works"
Which distro were you using?
It's not for everybody, if you're drooling and wear diapers, better stick to Windows.
Everyone uses Linux, most people just don't know they do.
Android is Linux.
Most routers are Linux.
Smart TVs are Linux.
Google is Linux.
Wikipedia is Linux.
Microsoft Azure is Linux.
Your dishwasher is probably Linux. Your car is probably Linux. Your gaming console might be Linux.
It just works, so you don't even notice it.
It can also do desktops. It runs on pretty much anything, so of course it does.
Although FreeBSD is better in many ways.
Things Windows users (can) never say:
-"Well, at least this OS isn't basically just Spyware that collects data about what I do on my own device and sells it to third parties"
I've had a fellow Linux user tell me "It just works" with a straight face. When you're talking about why you enjoy an operating system, it's easy to forget the entire rant you went on about your quest to get default speakers permanently set.
My screen is not upside down. Ever. Even on Neon and Zorin which were Nvidia averse. What you missed: "Not everyone can completely switch to linux. You may need to try it out on a separate PC or dualboot."
honest question, has anyone who uses linux actually had their screen go upside down? I've never encountered that issue on any distro yet it's been mentioned several times here. All I can find when I look it up are mentions of niche laptops with built in gyros for screen rotation (I'm guessing 2 in 1s, but even then this issue was about half a decade ago) and people who left their PS4 controllers plugged in and the gyros in that was causing auto-rotation. I'm genuinely curious at this point because it's been brought up a lot and I can find nothing online about it that seems to match as it's described.
I've had some issues with my 2-in-one, but only with x11 and never on a machine without a gyro. It's funny when it goes wrong, though. If you boot it with the screen folded over then everything will display 180 degrees rotated from their hitboxes and the mouse will be the wrong way up. Makes for an interesting user experience
@@GenericSweetener eh, I guess that would check out, X11 has been jank for the past decade or two now. I just use wayland, even on hybrid Nvidia graphics with a rolling release distro (arch repos) never had any real issues, frankly I think the linux elitists are the only ones who wayland isn't good enough for simply because they don't want it to be.
Maybe if you're comparing a multi-year old LTS it's a different story but wayland has been pretty smooth for me so I've just never seriously used X11. (I also don't own any 2 in 1s)
To be "that guy", if you ever get this problem again (no matter the PC model, distro or window manager), you can find the information in the section "Tablet Mode" of the Arch Wiki.
Worse (or best, if you ask me) case escenario, you get yourself a simple laptop by disabling gyro and manually rotating the screen and touch sensors.
It happened to me, more than ten years ago, on an Ubuntu distro. Very funny, very annoying. Updated the video driver, everything worked fine.
Apparently the BIOS video in some laptops required some different signaling.
I heard, but I'm not sure that the reversal happens only on laptops, never on desktop...
Not unintentionally, but it's not hard to do. I actually have a script on my system to toggle it so I don't have to remember the commands. (It's sometimes handy depending how I'm positioning my laptop.)
Pretty clever, great work. But if you are having trouble, just try this other distro here... XD
That doesn't belong to the list. We say that all the time.
@@homfes We say a lot of things on the list all the time.
me every morning: hmm let's change the wallpaper to match my color theme.
I have been keeping arch for 5 years and have never hopped distro. I've never had screen issue for my entire Linux career and most of my apps just works. I don't know if this is joke or truth I never had half of those above things you mentioned.
lol the last one killed me
I'm not a normal linux user. I don't know much IT but I've been using Ubuntu forever. I used to cut and paste code a bit to get things done but now I just lazily go to their software centre and download from there now it's better than it was. I find it easier than MS or iOS that shoot themselves in the foot with user pay hurdles and restrictions that I don't know what for or if I'm getting scammed to pay for sone made up app. I can't even load photos from my laptop to my work related iPad coz working like a simple drive to drive transfer is too much freedom fir Apple. Yea Nah. Csn't stand them.
You're exactly the sort of user we need more of. Documentation depending on distro is thin and often hard to find, but seriously the more major OSs all suck in their different ways. I've been trying to convince various people to switch to linux, but it's rather a hard sell when someone's been using Windows the last twenty years. How and why did you start using Ubuntu? Would you have any tips for a beginner?

Number 20: _I love the terminal. Can I have more bad permissions, please?_
"Definitely not gonna fiddle with it now." Guh, I feel so attacked. This is too true -- I have a setup I like and prefer... and then change little things here and there. It has even spread to my Windows 11 usage! I finished setting up taskbar on top, WinXCorner, and ElevenClock... and then one day I just got the urge to try out single-click to open. And now I'm using it on Linux as well. I can't be free of it even on Windows!
Windows has always required people to tinker with it and install lots of small apps to make it useable. In fact, Linux desktop is often more rigid and gives less possibilities to tinker
@@NJ-wb1cz I really miss back when that wasn't true about Linux, but nowadays it is, at least if you use gnome it seems.
@@JawshMcCullaugh oh, please. Vanilla Gnome2 sucked on its own and didn't even come close to Windows.
There was never a better time for linux desktop than today
@@NJ-wb1cz Yes, vanilla gnome 2 sucked, but you could change the window manager out for compiz, and when you combine that with the tweakability that the panel had, it beat what modern gnome has for options. Yes, there's better defaults now, but there used to be more tweakability.
@@NJ-wb1cz I tried Cinnamon Mint but didn't like it much because I felt like they worked super hard to emulate Windows resulting in a UI that was like Windows but worse, and the lack of a wiki or good documentation made it a bit of a challenge to figure out where stuff was. This was exacerbated by the fact that the internet guides for Mint tend to assume you only go to the command line as a last resort, meaning a lower overall level of information. I get that they're trying to make an easy product for the casual user with a Windows background, but I couldn't really see any particularly attractive features not present on Windows.
So yeah, I'll be sticking with my Arch with Awesome WM and no DE. You can't really say that can't be tinkered with.
This is the best representation of what a linux noob looks like lmao!
It gets better once you've used a distro for a bit, but yeah 😬. When starting out, it'll be rough. I distrohopped for a couple years, and finally settled on a distro that I like(debian), and it may take a little bit to settle on one yourself.
Whatever your linux experience is, Good luck 😁
Debian and Mint for me. New installs outside of gaming setups are Debian because they make it easy to forego a DE and just install DWM later.
I switched to linux from Windows server on my servers, and let me just say, i hate it. I literally paid a guy to install the software I need and I hire him whenever shit breaks. "I love the easy to learn nature of this operating system, even on the easiest version of Linux 'Ubuntu'"
you forget the hood classic " reads the manual"
You forgot about updates breaking everything. (devuan btw)
Yeah...devuan... no shit
In other news...water is wet.
But you're judging all Linux distros based upon your flawed experience.
Mint is laughing at your comment
Immutability FTW!
@@motoryzen And what makes you so sure that devuan is the ONLY distro I've ever used?
@@raymondgradzewicz Well you didn't mention any other distros you were using or have used any time recently.
Experienced linux veterans don't just listen one distro IF they have used others recently or are currently using multiple distros.
@@motoryzen I'd be listing pretty much every distro then. Except Alpine, Gentoo, LFS, and any Gentoo based distro.
I don't get it at all i been using the most easiest distro to use and it has been mostly smooth sailing
Some distros have a reputation of being complicated, I'm a long time user of Linux and it works for me... Seams like it works for you 2, and that is great.
These are basically made off stereotypes... mostly assigned from non-Linux users. Its about being funny, not really accurate.
@@AyaWetts yes and they all have a bit of true to them.. the only one I have a bit of a problem with is the "it's only a guy's thing" that being a bit truthful in the entire computer science area is not good to perpetuate.
Aka it's great to be a girl and be into computers in a nerdy way.
The most commonly used commands are cd, ls, rm and df - h. I have seen too many unix/linux admin doing this all day.
Sudo apt but don t get, oh boy everybody who went through linux knows that every single lines of this video were inspired by true stories. This is genius!
sudo apt-get funky time
Any Fedora users here 👀
Fedora 37 user here.
Yep... and it just works, and I'm female... 😁
"I seriously don't like to declare I'm an Arch user."
Cut us right off at the knees with starting on the "um actually" joke.
"There are plenty of linux viruses. They just don't know how to install themselfs" - that killed me 🤣
Linux user for the past 15 years, and you mostly nailed it, the I'm a girl one is the only one that is not great, there are plenty of girls using Linux.
I know it was a joke, but as a Linux user I would like us to remain inclusive.
I agree. I use Linux, but not on my main computer so I don't know if that counts.
I always use Apt, not Apt-get. The last time I used Apt-get was for a school project, which introduced me to Linux.
Gah been a Linux user for 15 years now. This hurts because it's true.
Now back to tweaking it some more.
Actually my experience with linux was a it just works so i ended up switching to it
Lol, I think he's saying they can't just say it just works as they have to elaborate on why it just works in several paragraphs.
yes but the other day my Linux laptop's blueteeth stopped working on my TV's sound bar. I haven't looked into why yet. Don't really care but just now I'm wondering if switching to a non-free repository would fix it .... See this what happens - fucking Linux . And I still prefer Linux to Windows or Mac
@@nocause5395 oh but it doesn't just work. It's better than it was and the issues tend to be smaller but that's the way it is
@@seanfaherty unfortunately
@@someguy4853 ahhh, still better than windows
This is too true
When you realize just how much you have used linux TODAY it will blow your mind
Linux is a versatile operating system that is used in a wide variety of applications. It is the foundation of many operating systems and has become the standard for high-performance computing, cloud computing, and embedded systems. Linux is used in everything from supercomputers to mobile phones, from gaming consoles to car entertainment systems, and from home media centers to enterprise-level servers.
One of the key reasons for the widespread use of Linux is its stability and reliability. Linux has been designed from the ground up to be a secure and stable operating system that can be used in a variety of applications. The Linux kernel is highly customizable, allowing developers to tailor the operating system to meet their specific needs. Additionally, Linux has a large community of developers and users who contribute to the development and maintenance of the operating system, which helps ensure that it continues to evolve and improve over time.
Another important factor that contributes to the popularity of Linux is its open-source nature. This means that the source code of the operating system is freely available to everyone, which allows developers to make modifications and improvements to the code. This also means that Linux is not controlled by a single company or organization, which makes it less susceptible to commercial interests and more likely to remain independent and open in the future.
In conclusion, Linux is a powerful, versatile, and reliable operating system that is used in a wide range of applications. Its stability, reliability, and open-source nature make it a popular choice for developers, businesses, and individuals alike. Whether you're a computer scientist working on a high-performance computing cluster, a software developer building a cloud-based application, or a home user looking for a stable and secure operating system for your personal computer, Linux is a great choice.
Well sometimes it actually does just work, like when I plug in an old hdtv card remote and it works just like a keyboard to I can adjust sound and pause and skip around the video. Or when I put certain USB to ethernet adapters in and they just work.
