I have been using linux for the past 4 years and it has been a great experience till now, most of the applications are available now and gaming is now great too through wine and proton and it uses much less resources to run for running the operating system.

Have seen many videos with the same title linux or windows but look at the level of content in this one really amazed by the level of clarity thanks alot for the video Harkirat

"Ugly Looking" Linux looks 10 times better than Windows lol

[aviralgupta]

If u are using Mac no need to use Linux machine as such because Mac by defaults uses bash (now uses zsh but u can get bash by just typing "bash" without double quotes)

[sarojregmi]

For those who don't know if you switched to Ubuntu windows is ugly, Ubuntu is good looking.

Still remember how I used to crash my PC while dual booting it 7-8 years ago... Have tried number of linux distros, dual boot and stand alone but currently using WSL2 as I need windows for gaming(hehe). Since all you need is a terminal and WSL provides that, it can be a great start. Recently I have started working and I never felt that I have entered corporate because I was used to the stuff that is used in companies and on top of that I troubleshoot and help my seniors in these things which just feels so good. With that said first focus on DSA and Dev, because these 2 will get you into the company and you can always learn Linux and GIT while on the job, but only knowing Linux and GIT won't get you a job.

Three months ago, I made a life-changing decision to switch to Linux, and I must say, it has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. The smooth and efficient i3wm setup I installed, I find myself seamlessly navigating through tasks without relying on the mouse 90% of the time. It's an incredibly empowering feeling to have such control and speed at my fingertips.

I have tried various Linux distros and according to me, fedora is the best for developers of all sorts. Simply bliss. U can customise it yourself or install customised ones like nobara(free) or ultramarine(paid). Note that fedora is from red hat family.

[keshavakumar]

Wsl is powerful. Combined with windows 11 terminal and few plugins you could have best of both worlds.

I use i3wm in pop os ... and it was so hard to develop muscle memory for the shortcuts but now I'm so used to it !! I can do my work so fast here!

Nobody's gonna ever know about the thumbnail 🥲

Hi harkirat, will you make videos on some advanced topics like how CDN works, how videos are converted into string and passed over a network, why OOPs exists

[musaddiqali]

I use WSL2 with Ubuntu 22.04 in Windows 11 OS. And use VSCode with WSL remote extension.

[vigneshnotes]

I really suggest to use Virtual machine instead of Dual boot with linux.

[liquidmetal]

You will feel good for an year or two for anything new - using wsl or terminal or virtual box or setting up k8s or using new db or etc. Unless you don't actually use them in daily work for good usage apart from simple commands, it won't help much at all. You can try OS's like parrot or kali or ubuntu or smaller / lighter distros - you would get bored of it, unless you have a purpose.

I have a 7year old laptop which struggles to run windows 10, switched to Linux mint and custom conky themes and im loving life rn

For people who are finding a lot of difficulties using Vim or Vi, I would recommend using Nano. It's an easier and a faster option to used compared to Vim😊

Linux distros don't have bad GUI anymore. It used to be the case probably 5 years ago. Also, if you don't prefer your GUI, you can always switch to a different desktop environment. E.g. Personally I do not like GNOME. So I switched to KDE Plasma and now there is no looking back.

Love your videos; keep them coming.
