Windows: can play league of legends natively
Linux: cannot play league of legends natively

Winner: Linux

Ironically, world of warships isn't natively supported on linux

Damn. Listening this with airbud in ear falling a sleep at 3am. And moment he said, not you specifically Stefan. Opened my eyes, woke up sweaty like hell, no way I'm getting any sleep tonight.

2:05 "There's no hand-holding here. You can apt-get anything your heart desires."
A few years later, he would have to learn that with great power comes great responsibility, as the ability to apt-install anything also includes apt-purging anything, including his Desktop environment.

1:17 Watching this in the middle of the night and Linus is suddenly addressing you by your name is kind of creepy for a moment :D

[bengper]

The Penguin is really cute so I'm switching 🐧

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linus Tech Tips, is in fact, Anthony/Linus, or as I've recently taken to calling them, Anthony plus Linus. Linus is not a youtube channel unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Anthony system made useful by Anthony's contributions.

In MacOS you agree to Apple’s guidelines.
In Windows you agree to Microsoft’s guidelines.
Linux agrees to YOUR guidelines.

Im done with having candy crush saga preinstall on every new pc i get.

[denoic]

When i was younger i called you Linux Tech Tips instead of Linus tech tips

I've been using Linux for 20 years. I will always stand by it. In addition, I still use Windows for a few tasks. I've always thought that the only thing Microsoft could make that wouldn't suck would be a vacuum cleaner.

Being able to NOT update is the best part. You can run mission critical processes for years without a reboot or having your OS slowly morph and change.

[stephenbutler]

"maybe not you specifically, stephen."
me: Wait what?

[PNCNDNOB]

For Windows problems: Reboot
For Linux problems: Be Root

macOS: “Am I a jo…”
Everyone: “Yes you’re a joke to us.”

[Turboy]

I would suggest that you follow up this video with another one that simply gives the pros and cons of switching to Linux for a TYPICAL Windows user. What's the benefit to a guy like me who's not developing software or writing code but just uses the computer for general business and some gaming?

Nice job, but one correction: Linux has had virtual desktops since the 90s, which is as soon as it had support for X11. X11 virtual desktops appeared first in 1986.

The only "privacy" settings Fedora asked me about were whether to deny access to the webcam. Yah, I think I know why my laptop idles silently now...

When I first got into Linux I got tons of help from the Linux community. Thank you Linux community!
