UBUNTU 24.04 LTS The End Of Windows !

#TheEndOfWindows #Ubuntu24.04LTS #BrokenEbeez

The latest LTS version of Ubuntu, for desktop PCs and laptops. LTS stands for long-term support — which means five years of free security and maintenance updates, extended to 10 years with Ubuntu Pro. This could be the start of the end for Windows as the dominant desktop operating system we will see with interest.

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.

Windows Recall is what's spooked me. I'm gonna pop my Linux cherry tomorrow and install it on an old laptop for testing. Eventually, I'll switch my main laptop if everything goes well

I've been hearing for thirty plus year how linux is going to replace windows.

[ChristopherRobertHarris]

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.

I remember many years ago buying an Android phone and I predicted way back then that Android would way out-do Apple on every measure most people laughed at me, and then over the next few years I watched as my prediction came true. I feel, EVENTUALLY after all the laughing and scoffing, that Linux WILL take over my words .

Ubuntu is Microsoft of the Linux World, but I doubt that it will ever replace Windows nor that Windows will break its market with the 24H2. Windows, the worst it is, the more users it gets! I think the issue is the people, they are really dumb.

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 YouTube smoothly.

Ubuntu is also great.

Linux is not the problem, win apps are the problem.

[rogerbowen]

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.

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 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.

[shanehebert]

Clickbait title. I run both, the answer is "no".

I believe that during the BETA, Canonical fixed the XZ backdoor problem by replacing the file with an older version that isn't compromised.

[Lanzetsu]

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.

[wilko]

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.

[seangreenhalgh]

Also just for everyone - if you buy a printer for Linux, buy a HP or Brother because they support Linux. Don't buy anything else.

[dazzer_]

"The end of Windows"? C'mon now, you're turning a respectable channel into a joke. Try to keep it real!

[jspink]

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.
