Windows is getting worse while Linux will only get better! 💪🐧

[nelsonbarbosa]

I don't get tired of saying this. It was you that made me switch from Windows and in a wayyyy long time actually be excited to do so. I am a Win nut, so plasma and KDE for me, but I also have Gnome and I totally understand your view. Used to think this was a puzzle of epic proportions and now with a metric ton of your help and others in the discord I do not miss windows at all and daily drive my Arch. You will always have my admiration on making everything seem effortless which to be honest ... it kinda is nowadays. Thank you.

My AMD 6900 XT blazes in Linux. Its flawless.

On the subject of KDE settings, I've always just used the search box to find the setting I want. I don't even read the sidebar. But I do the same in gnome too. Search tends to be faster for most things when it works properly. It's how I launch applications too, whether it's on Windows, Mac, or Linux. Drilling into menus with a mouse is glacial in comparison to just hitting a hotkey and typing what you want.

To be fair gaming used to suck for a long time but a few years ago valve and some other people stepped up and actually made it really good(apart from anticheat lul)
Also fully agree on gnome vs kde part.
Welcome to the club friend

I'm on the same path, I replaced Windows completely 2 months ago or more. I'm so happy. Been waiting for this for years. Great to hear you have the same awesome experience.

[esra_erimez]

I'm sorry you've had a bad experience with KDE. I've been using KDE since my dad gave me a used Dell D600 laptop with Kubuntu on it. In fact, I'm typing this on KDE right now. I use KDE for work and personal use and never had the problems you describe here.

i am as well using linux for a month and have no regrets or thoughts comming back.

maybe i will have to dual boot if theone and liberty doesnt work on linux.

I think gaming being stuttery has to do with specific hardware configurations. I’ve used countless distros and kernels but my GTX 1650 always got higher fps in Windows, even legacy versions of Windows. Back when I used a Vega 11 iGPU, I had no issues running games on Linux. I don’t really use my gaming PC for anything besides gaming, so Windows LTSC works well for my needs. But I am so glad to see Linux getting good support. Well made video, you earned a sub.

I switched to Linux a couple weeks ago to CachyOS. Honestly seeing your desktops settings and how comfy and minimalistic your desktop and system customization are, im thinking seriously on switching to fedora. Love your content.

[nonamebear]

Thank you for sharing. I think what you are doing with your videos is fantastic. You give great examples. Though I might disagree on some points, that doesn't mater. How you are highlighting Linux and how it is viable, is what maters and I hope that you can continue your efforts.
Cheers!

I like when windows guys complain about free and open software vs pay and close software, why don't you all donate to those developers that work for free to have working free program like gimp instead of been complaining about it, i'm sure all the photoshop user has a pirate version but complain about the free version, but they want something better without any donation, donate to help the developers, we all can create a new free and open world without micro$oft and photo$hop monopoly

You said your Heroic Games Launcher couldn't find your drive, did you correct mount your drive to a correct directory? If you had, you have to install a flatpak program called Flatseal which manages lots of permissions to flatpaks which are sandboxed by default, on the "Filesystem" section you will find this "Other Files", you have to add the correct permissions there so it can find your directories, i mostly activate only "/home", i do add another "other files" entry to my "/mnt" directory, you can be more specific and add only the drive you mounted example "/mnt/Files"

It's nice to see someone who comes from the view of the tools rather than this odd attachment to a company like its there god.
After watching your video on how to get Adobe to work in Linux, I subscribed to your channel. Really well explained. Thank you for the time you took to do it.

[leovivas]

your first video encouraged me to let windows behind, I don't know that much as you or as the average linux user but I want to learn, I was having trouble learning windows 11 anyway so.

[murasaki]

I agree with you about Gnome, I can get things done with it, it's organized and also looks super good

[smashpro]

The main issue I've had in Linux is playing games remotely. My gaming rig is an HTPC. On Windows, using Sunshine to stream from the PC and Moonlight as a remote client worked pretty flawlessly. On Linux, Moonlight won't connect unless the TV the PC is connected to is powered on. Maybe a dummy DisplayPort plug would fix that issue.

Kdenlive does support gpu rendering and encoding.

You need to enable it after configuring almost 25 settings. It is a kde project after all.

Also there is shotcut which is way faster than kdenlive. But it has a weird interface.
It will take 3 settings to set up.

Thing that I love in linux is multitasking. after learning some sortcuts for workspaces and window management, multitasking feel easy and less distraction on linux.
