"You should move to Linux to protect your privacy"'
"Adobe products don't works on Linux"

Well, I see this as a win-win situation.

remember fellas, if the game has kernel level anticheat, dont touch that game.

Rember: Windows doesn't have more games because it is good; it has more games because it is popular. If the popularity drops, you'll see macOS and Linux get tons of games. Damn, consoles could be worth it again too!

[GoonyMclinux]

I just updated my free street trash linux system in 15 seconds and didn't need to reboot and watch a thing swirl around for 45 minutes so I could finally play a Life is good.

[EquaTechnologies]

IF THERE IS KERNEL ANTICHEAT, I WOULDN'T PLAY.

Correction, Proton is Valve's fork of Wine, that is made to support a wide variety of games, and is the reason they could do Linux on the steam deck.

We've been debating for years that Linux is superior. The real issue, in my opinion, is that major companies like Adobe and Riot are simply, yes, foolish, and they HATE LINUX. Additionally, engineering companies like Autodesk don't fully support Linux. People tend to prioritize their money, comfort, and gaming experiences over their privacy. Instead of telling people, "Switch to Linux! The time has come!" it would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux.

After this post, I don't want to be seen as a Windows supporter. I am, in fact, a strong advocate for Linux, but we can't reach a solution by ignoring the facts. We must accept reality and work to improve it. We need to push application developers to support Linux.

The Linux market needs less fragmentation, more widespread application repositories, more stable releases, and more standardized file formats so that a developer doesn't have to create software for Debian, Debian-based distributions, Red Hat, Red Hat-based distributions, Arch-based distributions, and so on. For instance, the "yay" package manager in Arch is very useful. Similarly, "apt" in Debian is extensive and relatively easy to use. What I'm trying to say is that starting a big Linux revolution with a common package installer across all Linux distributions could grant people freedom.

Linux already meets your needs in every way. If you're not satisfied with a package manager, you can change it later. It's your computer, so only you can decide what's best for it. And please, don't tell me why these package managers don't work on other distributions. I know that. I'm not suggesting we make the 'yay' library work perfectly on Ubuntu or every other distribution. What I'm saying is that, even if it means creating a new package manager, we need one that works optimally across all distributions. This way, people will be less fearful and more free when choosing a distribution. As I mentioned earlier, this package manager should be replaceable if desired.

This might seem contrary to the Linux philosophy, but think about how we can improve. Even if you argue that this isn't the issue, admit that someone willing to give up all Windows applications might still be confused when they can't apply what they learned on Arch to Debian and have to start a new learning process. This is completely inefficient.

Furthermore, before recommending Linux, you should advise people to practice in a virtual machine to prevent data loss on their systems. Most Linux distributions don't limit you in ways that Windows might. Instead, when you say, "Hello, Linux, let's wipe my system, " the response will be, "Just become root." Moreover, a wrong command can damage your drivers because you have the power to modify them. When you talk about the expansiveness and customizability of Linux, you must also mention its potential downsides.

In short, my personal view is that in these times of high computer illiteracy, which is unfortunately normal (though it shouldn't be), if these people switch to Linux, they'll likely slow themselves down, reduce their capabilities, and mess up their systems. Before blaming Microsoft, we should look in the mirror and ask why so many mistakes are made and why, despite these issues, Windows remains the most popular operating system for personal use worldwide. We need to understand why people prefer Windows and work on correcting our mistakes.

The more people switch to Linux, the more software and games will be developed for it🧠

actually, as far as I know, printers tend to work better on Linux than on Windows.

[fluoriteByte]

3:45 unironically most printers run fine when you just select the generic IPP printer driver, unlike windows' convoluted way to install driver software

[robinzehm]

Best short introduction Video for switching to Linux I have seen yet! I am starting to switch to Linux Mint and I am really happy so far!

[MrMsschwing]

I switched to Mint last week and I'm surprised how well games work on Steam. Just be ready to learn some new stuff, it's worth it!

[tablettablete]

0:05 Sorry guys, but is "spying" a "new" feature?

Seems a like a thing from older versions though

[crsher]

I installed Fedora today. I struggled for a bit here and there during the process, but now that I configured and customized everything it works like a charm!

[mechaform]

On-and-off Linux user since mid 90s. Turns old laptops back into useful tools. Learning C and Perl using Raspberry PiOS. Finally switched the streaming PC from Win11 to Mint 21.3 in May and everything works so much better I regret not doing it sooner. Take back control of your desktop.

[Abby-realone]

ITS MY DEVICE, MY OS, MY INTERNET, AND MY DATA MICROSOFT

[AllTimeTech]

I live this feature because The linux community will grow!!! DO THIS PLEASE CONTINUE WITH COPILOT SEE HOW THAT ENDS

[tonywise]

You got it right first time. MS introduced SPYING. Glad I'm on Linux already!

[LinuxAndCoffee]

Please, If you wish to move to Linux, start with Mint with a Cinnamon DE (Desktop Environment) as a beginner in a VM (Virtual Machine). It's painless. So, if something goes wrong, it will be in a sandbox. Or just put an image on a usb flash drive if you only want to get the feel for it. Almost everything you'll need to get started is either pre-installed or can be downloaded from the app store.

As both linux and windows user i can agree to the things mentioned.

However, theres a couple things you need to know more about linux, linux is like your own operating system, you have full control but might aswell be careful, things can break here an there, and theres always a way to fix it.

But if you value your time and want something that just works fine everytime, well i think its better for you to stick with windows.

Linux does works fine, but sometimes in some occasion it breaks, it happens, so prepare yourself for it.
