Actually, there is antivirus software that you can install on Linux...

It's used to remove viruses from Windows, lmao.

Windows Joke: Your Keyboard could not be detected, Press Enter to Continue

Windows: You’ve successfully clicked your mouse somewhere. Please reboot.

Number 12. You never have to go into the Registry to fix some annoying behavior like "Balloon Tips"

Point 1 is invalid. You can download the source of Linux under windows as well...

Me before this video: I’m used to Windows and it’s fine but I’ll watch this anyway.
Me after this video: ok I’ll just use Linux.

As an mechanical engineer, the one most frustrating thing with linux is, the CAD softwares are from stone age.

I recently switched a month ago to Linux as my main OS because I got upset that my last Windows 10 update caused my system to crash and forced me to re-install the OS. I'm impressed with how much it's grown since I've last touched Linux back when Mandrake was around, back then i didnt play with it very much. So far it's been pretty easy to live with Linux even for a somewhat noob like me. It's actually refreshing coming home from working in Windows at work all day to something different too.

20 minutes from start to finish Installing Linux Mint 19.2, getting the system updated and adding all the necessary extra programs I use.
2 and a half hours getting Windows 10 installed, updated, adding all the necessary drivers and extra programs I use.

This clearly shows in terms of fresh installs which OS wins hands down.

I just installed Linux Mint (duall boot) on my pc, and found it to be fantastic. I didn't know how good it was. Having great fun with literally thousands of programs to install

You can download the source for Linux with Windows too ;)

RE: Moving hard drives in Linux vs. Windows - The registry is also a HUGE problem in Windows with doing this. I think that is one of Windows biggest Achilles Heel of Windows.

"software from official repositories will never contain malicious software"
I guess supply chain attacks don't exist.

Years ago when I first heard about Linux, it sounded like an OS built only for specialists. But ever since I've started using it, I've come to love it. It's the best thing in the world. You can configure everything, if you know what you're doing. And now I have different flavors of Linux running on all my machines.

When Windows 8 arrived I decided I had enough and jumped into Linux (Ubuntu). Never looked back.

You are quite behind what the recent Windows server can do.
I still prefer to develop in Linux/Unix but PC is much easier to use at home.

As far as #4 goes, I have some information. There is a toolkit called Hirens which can be installed on CD or USB, and it has a Mini-XP. So.. it's a very trimmed version of Windows XP that can run from a thumb drive.

That's strange. I have to reboot each time the kernel is updated. There's a message in the update window. Otherwise the new kernel is not activated.
