As a Linux user and contributor since ~1996 all I can say is; Welcome 🙂

[charika]

As a junior high school student who use Linux for entirely 2 years, I must say Linux is capable of doing anything I want. Also, using Linux makes me smarter: It teaches me how to use the internet; it teaches me how to solve a problem. Linux even changes my mindset when it comes to thinking. I am very appreciated.

I finally made the switch to gaming full time through Linux on PopOs!(between Steam Proton, Litrus, Bottles, and my Steam Deck). Even my Steam year in review was showed that over 72% of my gaming was through Linux. I haven't looked back, and don't miss Windows. Great video.

My switch to Linux was somewhat accidental. I kept a Windows 8 laptop for gaming, but then I put a GPU in my Linux machine, which caused a lot of stability issues, which I resolved by replacing the motherboard. Back then I could only play Linux compatible games on Steam such as Portal and Half-Life series. I accepted the limitations, and it wasn't too long I started seeing support for more and more games.
My issue with Windows is the same as everyone else's. Demand for more RAM, bad performance, ads, proprietary, etc. The biggest reason I won't go back is because my Linux Mint OS performs the same every day and doesn't degrade even years later. Nothing breaks. Files don't go missing. I can come home to a reliable PC every time and not worry about it.

I have been a Windows Power user since childhood. I had reinstalled Windows 3.11 as well as Windows 95 multiple times before even leaving the elementary school (no joke - I love IT and always have). But during my bachelors degree in computer science (shocking, I know!) I got so fed up that I dropped Windows and moved to Linux. Haven't missed it since. Every time I have to use Windows at work, it just reminds me of how insanely bad it actually is.

[TheFelx]

Today I learned what the Templates folder does... interesting!

[SpacePoodle]

Totally feel you. I have to keep using Windows at work. It's pure pain these days.

[computerfan]

You described my feelings to Linux precisely: this year is the first year I can wholeheartedly recommend Linux to techy/gaming folks without great caveats

[almazingsker]

I made the switch to Linux a couple of months ago. Distro hopped a bit and found something I really love. Even throughout that process, I never once considered going back to Windows. Can’t see a situation where I ever WILL.

[BenderdickCumbersnatch]

I am glad to hear this. I moved to Linux 100% in 2020. Fedora Workstation 35 at the time. It's been so good and stable. Way better than Windows. :)

[RobertPendell]

This is exactly why I tend to disconnect other drives before installing Windows (or any OS) especially if one exists that I wish to preserve and keep untouched.

[sarcasticmcspastic]

I switched to pop after an incident where every single windows machine in my studio crashed, bluescreened, and became systemically unusable over the course of. 5. Minutes.

It's been amazing, and outside of some trouble with navigating gaming with my friends, it's been excellent

I switched form Mac to Linux about a year ago, I it is soooo much better than Mac OS. Plus, I'm not in the Apple trap anymore (Trapple). I can buy my own computer, and scale it THE WAY I WANT IT.

[abstractaxis]

I know it wasn't the purpose, but you helped me with the AMD issue on Windows 😅😂 Thank you!! It has been so annoying seeing Windows forcing the update on the AMD driver on another computer I have at home

As to your issue, the simple trick is to always install Windows first if you're going to dual boot. I've been doing it for quite some time and I have no complains at all! Depending on the distro, you can also enable secure boot and it works fine (even with an Nvidia card, in my case)

Merry xmas to you! Enjoy!!

[AabirKashif]

I learned the hard way about that windows EFI folder thing. After that always just disable the other drives from bios before install windows.

[JHSaxa]

Great video. As someone new to Linux, I'm surprised to realize how much simpler Linux is in many ways than Windows as you point out, specially in the OOBE and installation.

[chitan]

Ok, I think you just convinced me to switch my gaming PC over to Linux. I have switched nearly everything I have over to it, all my laptops and such. Now it's time for my desktop to get the same treatment.

[raduoprea]

I've been checking out your videos on and off. Absolutely love your accent.

[videosfromhell]

Congratulations, love your videos so much info and great tools.

We installed Pop OS on my brothers laptop (I use linux as daily drive) because it was so slow that it was impossible to do anything on windows. After i showed him how easy it is to install applications in discovery, he said "And how do I install apps the normal way, through the browser?" "You don't, thats the neat part" I replied. "But thats boring" ????💀
