Actually, this is both false. In order for an EXE file to run on Linux, it must be prompted to be opened by a user through wine. This must be done because wine like every other Linux program must be prompted by either a scripted or a user, before it can start up. So no, it will not act as a back door unless you open up a virus yourself.

There are so called "app images", which are programs in basically a single file with all of the dependencies inside and it is a great solution for running portable software, works offline, and there will be no conflicting dependencies (useful especially when running older software). The only real disadvantages are larger file size, no automatic updates and not everything is made into an appimage. So while great for getting stuff to work, it is still preferred to use official repos.

One advantage you missed with Linux. With Linux the updates sit and wait for you to choose when to update. I can't tell you how many times windows has forced an update on me when I'm in the middle of doing something else. Yes you can schedule when windows does updates but often windows will clear your personal settings including update schedule back to window preferred defaults. You can also setup Linux updates and it will never mess with your personal settings. But the default of sitting there waiting for you to click it is priceless. Linux respects its users windows disrespects its users.

I wish people/KZread video uploaders would STOP saying that "you have to be able to use the command line to use Linux." You ABSOLUTELY 100% do NOT have to be able to use the terminal to use Linux. You can install Linux and run it for the rest of your life without never ONCE having to touch the terminal. Yes, it's handy if you are familiar with the terminal, but if you're just an average user who just wants to browse the internet, read/send emails, look at pictures, listen to music, watch videos, chat online to people, write documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, and play games, you don't ever need to toucb the terminal. The terminal is what advanced users like to use because you can reach every part of the system to tinker with it, and it's a lot more versatile than a gui-based program. As for the dependency issues when installing software, this guy obviously hasn't used Linux for a very long time. the package managers, software centres/managers, and programs like gdebi for downloaded deb files ALL take care of dependencies. Even installing software through the terminal, will get the dependencies installed. I'd love to know which experimental half-finished distro he was using when he made this video and made such a false comment. Oh, and like Windows doesn't have its own problems with dll files being overwritten and screwing up the system, by one software that needs an older or newer version of that same dll file to run. I really don't mind/care what operating system people want to use. If you want to use Windows 3.1 running on MS-DOS 6.2 that's fine by me. Knock yourself out. Use what's best for YOU and gets you the results you want/need. If that happens to be Linux, Mac, or Windows, great. But if you're going to do a video like this, at least do your research before you make the video so that you can get the facts straight.

As someone who works with Windows in the office, I think you 100% have to be able to use Powershell on Windows. There is simply no way around it. Is that a false statement? For the average user probably yes, for what I need to do at work, no. So it really depends on what you need or want to achieve, this is true for Linux and Windows. The reason Terminal is brought up often is that Linux users are usually more tech savvy and recommend Terminal because as they see it "it makes things a lot easier", while the average Windows user interprets this as "you need to use it, because the system is complicated". Using CMD or Powershell on Windows also makes many things a lot easier, often times I could fight with the GUI in Windows for 15 minutes for a simple task, while if I know the command line I can be done within seconds. I think that's a typical miscommunication problem, people who are good at something and want to be helpfull tend to forget that their recommendations can look intimidating to inexperienced people.

I would like to know what OS you were using because that wasn't my experience. Whenever there was a issue (there were quite a few) and I laboriously researched a an obscure solution = copy this arcane jumble of commands into CLI. I consider myself a power user, but I _never_ had to pull out the command prompt on Windows (whatever you say about how awesome joining the CLI master race is i just hate CLI). I encountered my fair share of problems in Windows, but Windows problems are typically easier to deal with. Linux problems in contrast are a gigantic pain in the ass to deal with, and compared to the smooth sailing accolades I hear about it I had a fair share of issues just like a Windows OS (I can agree Linux is faster and lighter though). I actually like Mac OS X somewhat more than either (apart from the limited selection of apps and customization compared to Windows) because compared to them it almost always _just works_ .

​@@jackvac1918 I started with Ubuntu 10.04, and then a few weeks later accidentally found Linux Mint 9. I've been using Linux Mint ever since, as everything worked out of the box, without having to install codecs etc to play mp3 files or watch DVDs. Back then, I was dual-booting with Windows 7, but it couldn't even get a look in because Linux was running so smooth and fast and without any hassles at all. Then inexplicably, one day, I decided to boot into Windows 7 for some unknown reason. Within 20 mins I wanted to throw the PC out the window. My blood pressure was back up and off the scale, and then came the blue screen of death; the straw that broke the camel's back. I decided I didn't even want Windows on my PC any more, not even in a dual-boot setup, so I wiped it off, and have been far more productive using Linux Mint ever since. I'm a self-employed computer service engineer, and I've put MANY of my customers on Linux Mint. These are primarily people who you have to sit down and explain how to even copy and paste, and what that means. They wouldn't have a clue how to fix even a minor problem, be it Windows, Mac, Linux or anything else. With the exception of TWO people who asked to be put back on Windows, one of whom was a pensioner who just didn't want to learn something slightly new in terms of having to go into the "Internet" category in the apps menu to find the web browser rather than having it in front of him in a jumbled list of everything else, and another woman, who was into pirating DVDs using Nero Burning, and couldn't be bothered to learn to use Brasero which did the same thing, and came pre-installed at the time, EVERYONE else has stayed on Linux and tell me that they would NEVER so much as think about going back to Windows now. Remember, these are people who can barely tell the difference between a mouse and a keyboard ...and they're using Linux Mint just fine. Needless to say, most of them don't even know the terminal even exist, let alone how to use it, but they get their stuff done quickly and efficiently. If and when things go wrong, or they want to upgrade to a newer version, they give me a call, but in the meantime, they just use their PCs and it just works for them. So I stick by what I say. It's not hearsay or something I've read about somewhere. It's real life factual personal experience. You do NOT have to be able to use the terminal to use Linux. Your experience might have been different on account of a particular distro, or your particular hardware combination. If something like your wifi card doesn't work, for God sake just go out and buy one that is supported in Linux. It's not going to break the bank. applies to printers. My Creative Soundblaster Z sound card didn't work at all under Linux until... last year when somebody finally figured out how to get it and many other Creative sound cards working flawlessly under Linux, and his driver was so good it got included in the Linux kernel (no thanks to Creative who didn't want to know or even consider helping anyone to develop a Linux driver. I still have the email from them saying as much.) Anyway, that sound card now works with the 4.18 kernel upwards ...or you can patch earlier kernels if you want to go through that. No one is tied to any particular piece of hardware, or software. If something doesn't work, change it. If you're "geek-minded" and love to tinker, tinker away yes by all means, but don't say that you HAVE TO be able to use the terminal because you don't. Just because one distro gives you problems, doesn't mean that all of them will and Linux is bad. That certainly hasn't been my experience, and it isn't the experience of my customers either.

Grow up you imbecile. I never said anything about that being the case for EVERYONE, in EVERY circumstance, but it certainly is true in MANY instances, as I've seen for myself.

Sure, daily use of Console, regular rebuilding, etc. is the name o fthe game but it was not unpleasant for me. But the 'Linux attitude'? It's even worse than the mac attitude, and had as much to do with me making the primary switch back to windows 8.1 (and then 10) as anything else.

I whole hardheartedly agree you. We are getting more AAA games coming to Linux. Rise Of The Tomb Raider is coming to Linux next month, we already have Tomb Raider 2013, also Life Is Strange Before The Storm, we have Life Is Strange too. Yes I know that it takes time for games to come to Linux, but think about the amount of time spent porting and money that's invested, not to mention getting permission from the original authors. Square Enix are well interested in Linux at the moment with Feral Interactive who are busy with Life Is Strange Before The Storm and Rise Of The Tomb Raider, bringing these huge games to Linux is an eye opener for Linux. People still don't know what I'm on about when I mention that I use Linux instead of Windows. I get questions like what's Linux, answer a free operating system that can do everything faster than your Windows, because we don't have to rely on things running in the background, when we're gaming. Plus the fact Linux is yours to do with as you please, once you have installed it. When you run a Windows machine it is not yours to own forever, as you still have to answer to Microsoft, you only hire Windows, not own it out right. Try changing the look of your Windows machine to look like a Mac and you'll break it. Like you say if only the dual booters of Linux and Windows would run Steam on their Linux side, they'll find they can play quite a few of their Windows games in Linux, but getting through to people sometimes is like pulling hens teeth. But then again if Linux was more popular and up there with Mac and Windows, then we'll be in trouble, with hackers too. Anyway long speech over and done with. I use Peppermint OS 8 and Manjaro XFCE

I'm a "regular user" who switched to Linux for the corporate-free nature of its software and the related user freedom, privacy, and security (as well as UI flexibility). I found that there are open source software in the repositories that cater extremely well to my workflow and actually work better than Windows software for the fact that, unlike on Windows, they are designed and developed by the people who actually use them in their own work. That's one huge bonus on Linux -- the reliability and quality of the software. Community maintained software has its clear advantages. Of course, that does mean that you need to approach Linux with an open mind, as its own computer platform, and not expect your Windows software to work on Linux (just as you wouldn't expect Linux or Mac software to work on Windows) (although cross-platform file compatibility is pretty decent, including files for Microsoft Office). Linux is also getting easier and easier to use by the average person as the years roll on and development continues. It's also an excellent solution for those who just want things on the computer set up once, and to work that way forever. No forced upgrades, no undesired changes. This makes it a great choice for non-computer-savvy people (as long as they have someone who sets the computer up for them, initially).

I'm fairly new to computers so this might be a stupid question, but would it be a smart idea to store most things that aren't programs on linux, and then run a virtual computer with windows on it for programs? So if I accidentally get a virus, that can only screw around with the vc and not my main computer.

The main reason I switched them is that I got tired of having to maintain their Windows system. My father is one of those people who inherently always found a way to get his PC virus infected no matter what anti-virus software I installed.

I switched to Linux in 2012 and am in the process of switching back now. Here are some random thoughts in no particular order. 1. Linux is a BEAR to configure. Anything you want the computer to do, like say, connect to your OneDrive account, requires extensive web searching, lots of trial and error, cryptic terminal commands and much head scratching. Any time your computer requirements change slightly, like you buy a new printer, for example, you have to do to hours of web searching for some hack, some work around, some cryptic commands to make the computer work the way you need. You eventually stop trying to extend your computer horizons because the up-front investment is so great and too often fruitless (see point 14 below). 2. You will NEVER be entirely free of Windows. At some point, you will need to, say, take an online proctored test. When you do, you will be borrowing a Windows computer from a friend because there is NO WAY to do that on a Linux box. 3. Software support is minimal. There are a bazillion little 3rd party apps that add a lot of functionality to Windows. Those apps are not available for Linux. I'm talking about screenshot capture programs, pretty desktop background programs, weather bugs and the like. Get used to not having them in Linux. You know that little app you downloaded from your VPN provider that connects you up in minutes with a simple click of the mouse? You won't be doing that anymore. You'll be digging into the command line, entering long strings of incomprehensible gibberish and crossing your fingers every time you connect. Even worse, Office 365 is not available. Most cloud functionality is not available. Adobe Photoshop is not available. CAD of any kind is not available. Yes, there are Linux knock-offs, but they are shadows of the big commercial software programs, and no one can answer your questions about using them (see point 14 below). 4. Hardware support is minimal. Do you like your fancy mouse with 17 different buttons that do everything you want, just like you want it? Forget about getting that to work on Linux. It turns magically into the most expensive 2-button mouse you ever bought. Forget about getting a lot of printers to work on Linux. Prepare to replace at least 1 or two cards inside your computer, because some of them absolutely will not work with Linux, despite all your efforts (see point 1 above and 14 below). 5. I've used Linux exclusively for 8 years and still don't have to foggiest notion how it works. Like, WTF is in all those system folders on the HD? Why is there no rhyme or reason to them? What are all those weirdly named dependencies I have to download in addition to the software I want? Why does some software come via repository, some come via *.deb file, and some require command line codes to install and utilize? WTH is Grub and why can't I ever figure out where to put it? These are only some of the myriad mysteries of Linux that you will bump into routinely and never understand without a CS degree from MIT. The Windows architecture is rational and knowable. MSFT invests a lot of money into explaining everything with websites, tutorial videos, top-level training programs, discussion boards, etc. You basically have the smartest minds in the world going to great lengths to explain how and why they've built Windows to work like it does. By contrast, Linux is a Gordian enigma (see point 14 below). 6. I never did one virus scan and never got one virus on Linux. Ever. Windows was another matter entirely. 7. On Windows, I have the distinct impression once again that someone is looking over my shoulder whenever I use it. 8. On Windows, every system hiccup can be corrected in roughly 5 Google searches. In Linux, most are unsolvable, see points 1, 5 & 14. 9. Linux file permissions are maddening. There are some areas of the HD that Linux absolutely will not allow you to change. This is all in the interest of security, but it's a flat out PITA, because sometimes you need to make changes. When you do, Linux will block you with file permission nonsense. In a lot of cases, it blocks the administrator from making changes. When that happens, you're stuck doing hours of internet searches for terminal commands to move and copy files, hours more to change file permissions, then hours more to make them recursively for all the subfolders that the first commands you found didn't do (see point 1 above). It's absolutely exasperating. For Pete's sake, it's MY computer, I'll blow it up if I want. And usually, you will when you start doing sledgehammer fixes out of sheer frustration. 10. Linux is not that tough. I've crippled my installs on at least 3 occasions, leaving me high and dry and requiring an emergency reformat each time. Some of the issues could have been resolved if points 1, 5 & 14 weren't such problems. The 1 day spent reformatting was simpler than sorting through all the blind alleys online trying to fix a simple issue. 11. Some of the software on which you come to depend will just stop being updated one day without warning or explanation. You'll be bummed when that happens. 12. Linux was a godsend for my 75 year old Mom. Linux is very stable. It doesn't pop up bizarre warnings that confuse many unsophisticated users. Better yet, it doesn't decide one day to radically change its interface (MS Office 2007?) or re-arrange your menus because it felt like it. For most people it will work exactly the same, day after day. It's simply wonderful if you support users with very basic needs and limited tech savvy. 13. Linux is free. As in FREE! You can completely outfit your computer with just about everything you need for nothing at all. What's even better is that you don't have to fight with pay walls, or hack your registry for product keys or jump through any other hoops. You simply open the Software Center, select what you want and it downloads and installs just like that, and most of it works decently well. That's a wonderful thing. 14. Most of the answers you find on Google to questions or problems you're having with Linux will NOT work. I'd put the percentage at 95%. That's what makes point 1 above such a problem. You will find lots of answers in the form of confusing explanations and lots and lots of cryptic terminal commands. Unfortunately, when you try them, they will not work and you won't know why. So you always have the impression that a solution to your problem exists, but never the satisfaction of actually finding the solution. The reality is that most tech geeks using Windows (the kind of guys who answer your question about that funny error message you're getting) are professionals, IT admins, engineers, computer scientists and the like. They know their stuff and will have you sorted quickly. At best, the geeks using Linux are professionals tinkering with Linux in their spare time. They'll get to you after they've answered all the Windows questions. But then they'll be tired. That's the best you get. At worst, they are guys in remote cabins stockpiling beans and bullets. They aren't necessarily bad people, but logical thinking and rational communication will not be their strongest suit. I enjoyed my time in Linux Land and will continue to keep it around in some form or other. It has some very good uses. In the end, though, it just doesn't work for me as a primary OS. I was always able to bend Windows to my will. I could find the work-arounds, implement the solutions, do the registry hacks or whatever else was required to make it work like I wanted. Sadly, Linux has defeated me. It's a great OS, but for a curious power user who likes to tinker, it's just a constant frustration. In contrast, Windows 10 is easily one of MSFT's best ever. I am more than happy to make the jump back.

I don't think any OS can be considered universally better than any other OS. The real reason to use Linux is that you aren't subject to the whims of any company. Your computer is YOURS. With Windows or OSX, your computer kinda belongs to the company in question.

"Dependency hell" - you've seriously *never* heard of *DLL hell* where one Windwos app relies on one version of a library (DLL) and another app needs a different version of the same DLL, and the clash between the two causes Windwos to become unstable and crash?

I've never had issues like that. The worst in windows was years ago, some program I tried to open said there was a DLL missing, and when I went and found it (not the right answer here), it then said another was missing, on and on. So I thought better and tried to figure out what these DLLs were a part of, obviously this is not how you fix this because in windows we don't expect they'd have us doing something like this, and I found the proper redistributable or whatever to install. There might have been a couple, I don't remember, but that was very rare, hasn't happened in modern windows or for ages, and nowadays windows (or steam) tends to find what it needs without any fuss. The worst problem in general I ever had with windows was back in ye olde times, with IRQ conflicts. Thankfully that's been absent a decade or two. It still pales in comparison to what happens whenever I try linux.

Anyone thinking of switching from Windows to Linux (or even just trying out Linux) might do well to check out Linux Mint. This is probably the most Windows-like distro around, and has all the power and functionality of Windows, and the desktop looks and feels a lot like Windows 7, with a start menu, taskbar and so on. It also has a ton of other cool stuff like multiple virtual desktops and system snapshots etc, but the average Windows user isn't going to need most of that stuff. The app-store-like Software Manager is a delight to use, and updates are easily managed and non-intrusive I've used Linux Mint as my daily driver for well over a decade now and never looked back. Yes I still use windows for games and a handful of niche applications that don't play nicely in Wine, but the only system that I have connected to the internet is the Linux one - all others are offline, with data being moved on and off them via flash drives and usb hard drives. Most home Windows users spend 99% of the time in the web browser, so it really doesn't matter what OS is running underneath it. The software compatibility issues are nowhere near as much of a problem now as they were 10-20 years ago, and modern Linux distros will bne able to handle almost all the requirements of most Windows users - the exception being gamers who would probably be better off staying with Windows, but for everyday general household computer usage, Linux Mint makes a perfect and totally free alternative, and the installer can effortlessly set up a Windows / Linux dual-boot system if that's what you need, giving you the best of both worlds. And of course one of the real killer advantages of Linux is that you can boot the OS from a DVD or a flash drive, so you can try it out without having to install it on your hard drive (though naturally if you do, then it runs a lot faster) Linux Mint is very highly recommended for anyone who wants to get away from Microsoft's increasingly intrusive corporate practices, and most people using it in a home environment will barely notice that they're not using Windows (especially if you install one of the many Windows-based desktop themes - though even the default one looks enough like Windows not to scare most people off) Also, the command line thing is not really that much of an issue anymore. Sure you might have to use it very occasionally, but that applies to Windows as well, and these days, pretty much anything that an average user is ever likely to do will have a GUI. It might have been true 20 years ago, but in the last ten years, Linux has really caught up. I know there are plenty of hardcore Linux tinkerers out there who like to do everything in the command line, and that's fair enough as it gives you immense power over the system, but for most users, they're not going to need it very often if at all...

Now you can relive that with Linux's version hell.

I've been in a dependency hell-alike situations on Windows as well. When sth goes corrupt and you get a domino effect of weird stuff happening without any useful logs like you do on Linux in the terminal. I've wasted a lot of time and effort trying to fix things on Windows than I have on Linux in certain cases.

Fair and balanced assessment! Thank You!

This was a good all-round, pretty subjective video on the subject. I really like it. I'd like to just add Windows updates. There are four disadvantages (that I don't like and I think are really strange) about Windows updates: 1. That by default, it updates without your consent. I've heard that you can determine when to update, but I've also heard that sometimes Windows can override that and still does the update anyway (I don't know, I haven't used Windows in ages). But I hear complaints very often that unexpected updates have caused bad days for some people and it shouldn't be that way. 2. That you can't do anything during updates and installations. On GNU/Linux, updates run in the background and installations can be run while running other applications. On Windows, you seem to have to close all applications and everything that you're doing during an installation. And during Windows updates, the computer is unusable. If you're gonna make me wait for an update to finish, at least give me access to solitaire or to a web browser or to some music. 3. When I update my Firefox, I'm only updating my Firefox. When I'm updating VLC, I'm only updating VLC. When I'm updating Rufus, I'm only updating Rufus. In GNU/Linux, you can update all of them at once, including system services. And another point related to that but just a minor inconvenience, is that Adobe software checks if there are updates available. Your anti-virus checks if there are updates available. It's a good thing solitaire doesn't go check for updates as well. In GNU/Linux, when you check for an update, you check for updates for ALL applications at the same time. So I think it's more compact and time and resource efficient, instead of each software having a mind of its own, checking for updates at different times unknowingly slowing your internet connection. I really can't stand it when I turn on a slow Windows system and must wait for two or three anti-viruses to check for updates (or whatever it is that they do when you turn on a Windows system). 4. The updates are very mysterious. I have no clue what I'm updating. I don't know, I just sit there feeling stupid. Not worthy to be filled in on it. (This is not really a disadvantage. It's just something that I find weird. I prefer knowing what you're going to do with my computer.) I think most of these disadvantages/inconveniences only become apparent to me after having switched to Linux. So maybe, if you have never used Linux, you wouldn't consider these as problems/disadvantages, but sometimes I really do.

I always used the Mac OS. When I started building my own computers I found Windows to be downright awful. I found Linux and it fits my needs.

I would add, no forced updates and (usually) better performance. Linux gaming isn't _quite_ there yet, but I'm confident it will continue to improve in the future. That said, great video !

Great, balanced video. I don't know if you have a video to encourage new users to Linux from the world of Windows, say, using the virtual machine approach. After watching your video on the new windows terminal, one could have, say, an ubuntu page on the terminal. You may give serious thought to this issue since you have a great talent in disseminating info to average users. My initial struggle with Ubuntu was how to get it installed on a windows machine. Most average users may not have the required technical background into computers. Initially, I got put off when I thought I have to work out dependencies! Soon I realized there were other options. This could be more a fear than a real obstacle. But this is a fact of life. I found your video series today. I can connect with the way you present things. Middle of the road approach. Thanks.

7:11 That's an ancient chart, probably from the 2000's. Linux has evolved way more than that. Almost half of those are already dead

TL;DR ---- The better question is: How can more people be introduced to Linux? The main function of any OS is to enable people to do stuff. What kind of person, and what kind of stuff varies. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. When you really boil it down, the main issue in the Linux vs. Windows vs. Mac comparison is 100% of computer users are familiar with Windows (no matter if they use it or not), and a high percentage of computer users know that Mac is a thing (even though most don't use it, and can't afford it). Most computer users do not know about Linux, so that places it at a disadvantage. Just as mentioned in the video, there are perfectly valid and obvious use cases for Linux on the desktop -- such as old hardware, underpowered hardware, custom-built hardware, special-use hardware, nontechie users, and just want to try something different. I think pretty much everyone can agree that if you are heavy into gaming, then Windows is the OS for you. Similarly, if you are heavy into video editing and the like, then Mac is the OS for you. And if you are a computer enthusiast or an advanced/power user, then any or all of the above are good options for you. There are issues with any OS; some more annoying or concerning than others. The difference is that the entire infrastructure of the personal computing industry has built up so much muscle memory in dealing with Windows issues that we don't always recognize them as actual problems. That's why when some people find their way into Linux, it feels like such a breath of fresh air. For example: With installing printers on Windows, you get used to messing around with that printer for 30 minutes (or more) installing drivers and useless bundled software and then restarting and going through all the first-run software nonsense. Then you discover on Linux, that same printer has auto-installed itself and is immediately usable. You then realize how much time and effort you have been wasting. The main gripe with Linux is the unavailability of specific software or specific proprietary drivers. Though, I would argue it is not at all a problem for most users. Even then, this is becoming less of an issue over time, but it is potentially an issue for an interested user. That would change as more people were introduced to Linux. What we should be asking is how can that be accomplished.

Vulcan will most likely replace directX, and more and more games / game engines are becoming portable (meaning OpenGL support by default) anyway. I think MS Windows being "the only viable" gaming platform is, more and more, becoming a thing of the past, and this perception is more of a backwards "this is how we've always done it, so this is how it must be" sort of challenge, rather than a technical one.

Very nice & fair review. My problem is that I like Windows 7, I like Windows 10, and I like various Linux distros, so I waste far too much time switching from one to another.

Great informative video I have a coworker at my little part time job that is trying to get me to switch to Linux he said he worked for windows for 25 years and decided linux is much better. I explained will Linux work for my Photography business and he said it would. I use LightRoom, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Portrait Pro. will I be still be able to use these programs?

PC is like an air conditioned room when u open windows it becomes useless

My 2 cents, 1. Compatibility? Using Linux needs open minded perspective. Adobe Creative Cloud isn't available, but many alternatives are available and comparable in feature sets (and some are not even free, and it's running on Linux). 2. Installing software in Linux is easy, and mostly are automatic process, here's an example, in my OpenSuSE installation, when I want to install Webmin, all I do is type in 'rpm -ivh webmin.rpm' and it will install webmin with only the rpm file (similar to a .cab file in windows), and you can run this rpm file OFF a flashdisk. Yes, there are times where you need other pieces of softwares (dependencies) but if you install your Linux-with-everything-checked, most of the time you won't get dependency requirement (most are already installed). 3. Dependency hell is close to non-existent these days. Repos can be cloned, and in Windows, there is something similar to dependency hell, it's called DLL hell, and this is also VERY RARE, so as dependency hell. And don't forget the times when Microsoft installer hung on installing .Net framework dependency prior the main software install (though this happens very rarely these days). 4. "I shouldn't have to figure it out, it should just work", I'm not saying that I don't agree with this, but everything has it's own unique way of "working". Just because you are familiar to Windows doesn't make it Linux FAIL automatically, and vice versa for people who are familiar with Linux and repos will tell Windows users as outdated and old, why would you need to install a software by downloading a file, then installing it? And if the software requires a dependency (like .Net Framework version XX), at times it will just throw out some cryptic error message. The software should just INSTALL, and it just works in Linux (tragically, Windows is indeed very very "old-fashioned" in this regard). Even our phones does this automagically, Wiindows by default doesn't do this - except you install your software through a marketplace (Windows Store, or Steam). Well, the argument about "An application install in Windows just works" depends on a very specific perspective of your view as a user. If downloading an "installer" works for you, then there you go vice versa for Linux user, an "apt-get some_software" is MUCH EASIER and more efficient than downloading an "installer". Each has it's own quirk. I personally prefer the modern way of Linux Repository, Windows is outdated and old IMHO. 5. Switching to other operating system are most of the time will require a learning curve. Keep an open mind. 6. Not all software are available in Windows, netdata is one of those sofwares (google it). And it provides information in a way that no Windows application can provide.

@tatelabianca666

"automagically" I really like this! And, of course, I do agree on all points made.

I'm no Linux patriot in any way. There are really only _two_ good reasons why you _must_ use Windows, and _one_ why Linux is not your thing. _1. Games._ _2. Specialized software_ used by the company you work for. _3. You know Windows,_ and Linux is different. That's a problem. However, you can easily install Linux next to Windows and have them both on your computer and see if you like it or not. Since this video was meant to the average user, I have to disagree at some points. I'm a "newbie" to Linux (mint) and Ubuntu, and have used Windows practically throughout my entire life. I like Linux better. *Power* Using a laptop? Linux is far less power hungry than Windows, so your battery lasts longer. Also, it's faster, and doesn't get "tired" over time, like Windows. *Software:* What programs do you have and use in Windows, _by category?_ Linux have them all, just lesser to choose from. And most of them are just as good. So how choosy are you? About any browser but Internet Explorer. Various Office's but MS Office. Photo, music or video editing? Several. The list goes on and on. As mentioned, Linux is _damn much safer, more stable, entirely free, a repository like Apple Store or Google Play and works the same way. And nobody cares about what you do on your computer. Windows 10 is _*_all_*_ about getting as much information about you as possible, which is why it was free for some time._ *Adobe vs Gimp:* I'm not a pro, but am quite familiar with both programs, and _yes_ I find them pretty much equal. Both are damn good, have just about the same number of filters and whatnot. One costs a shitload of money, the other is entirely free. No, you don't need Photoshop _at all,_ unless you're an educated professional who've used it since you begun your Adobe education. Besides that, I agree pretty much with everything *ThioJoe* says. My only big issue with Linux is "the dependency hell", and that I have to read _"how to do"_ this and that in order to make my computer the way I want it to be. But that's because I'm a newbie. Thank you for a good presentation. :)

You have to use Windows because even to today if you want to play the latest Triple A Title, or you want drivers for your wireless card working or whatever hardware you want functioning, it most likely will be only compatible under Windows. Windows is just straight up garbage but because of it's market-share and because it is taught in schools that Windows is functional, developers and hardware manufacturers usually make their products only on Windows, unless an operating system has notoriety like Mac and Linux. This is called network effects. It's not that Windows is so much better than Linux, it's just that Windows even to this day still has the majority of the hardware and software support. Me personally I am FreeBSD guy, I wish all the developers and hardware manufacturers poured all their support towards FreeBSD. For developers to recognize FreeBSD it has to have a large user-base. How to get lots of people using FreeBSD? You have to improve it's hardware and software compatibility where it's user-friendly enough. You see the cycle? The only way FreeBSD will ever be popular is through MacOS, since MacOS uses lots of FreeBSD code particularly in their kernel and user-space. But MacOS has a closed platform, Apple's business practices are very anti-consumer. You can't run MacOS applications on FreeBSD for example. If MacOS was free and open-source or had a more platform it would be beneficial to everyone because lots of people hate Windows. There is still a huge demand for an alternative to Windows. Linux and MacOS are not getting it done. And how the market works no niche OS like Amiga or Haiku is just suddenly going to become popular. If someone can convince Apple to change their ways, or at least make MacOS a complete fork of FreeBSD that would be beneficial too =).

I'm a linux user, and have been for 15 years. I don't run Windows anywhere except in Virtual Machines and on computers I don't personally control (i.e. at work). This comment is pretty accurate, but I would offer a few thoughts. 1. Games - This is highly dependent on the games you want. There are a lot of AAA titles available via Steam on Linux these days. Tomb Raider, Rocket League (Maybe not technically AAA, but soo much fun I had to list it. Also 100% cross platform online play!!), Hitman, Civilization, Deus Ex, Mad Max, DiRT Rally, Dying Light, Borderlands 2, and more. Don't even get me started on the number of titles from smaller studios that are available. The Linux Steam Integration package developed by Ikey from the Solus distro (Available as a Snap for other distros) really takes things up a notch. Sure, there are also some huge titles that don't appear on Linux and that's a shame, but that's why I have an Xbox. If I'm going to play games in a non-free environment I want it to just work everytime with no effort even if it means sacrificing some visual fidelity. ;) Power: I have actually seen much the opposite. While Linux based Operating Systems have the potential to run more efficiently, they often fail at this. At least out of the box. Installing a few utilities (TLP and PowerTOP) and configuring them correctly will help, but generally speaking power management for laptops is one of the areas that is pretty terrible. Hardware vendors are as much to blame for this as the software developers. I wish I had the knowledge to contribute to making it better, but I don't have the free time to learn. Adobe vs GIMP: This comes down to a matter of preference, but also cost/value evaluation. I can do anything I need to with GIMP. I started on Photoshop with Photoshop 7 and have newer versions off and on over the years via student licensing deals. If I were a professional photographer who was constantly re-touching photos I would spring for Photoshop and run it in a Windows VM. The main reason is the time savings afforded by the much more advanced builtin tools. I generally spend my time working images for websites and programming projects, so I prefer to save my money and just stick with GIMP. Also of note are Inkscape, Krita, and one of my most used applications lately Gravit Designer (A must have for anyone doing any sort of UI mockups/prototyping.) @Owen Kanaway - "You have to use Windows because even to today if... you want drivers for your wireless card working or whatever hardware you want functioning, it most likely will be only compatible under Windows." I just haven't seen that to be an issue in the last few year. Really not for at least 5. I haven't had any hardware support issues in what seems like forever. Mind you, I started using Linux back in 2002 and wireless drivers werea mess, graphics acceleration worked like black magic (Xorg/Xf86 conf editing) requiring just the right card/driver/kernel and manual recompilation on updates, audio was similar, and don't get me started on configuring mice or trackpads (particularly with extra buttons and scrollwheels). There are some edge cases, and sometimes distros don't update to provide the drivers you want immediately, sure. Overall the major hardware vendors have gotten really good about providing drivers and kernel patches where necessary to support new hardware from day 0. I'm not a FreeBSD person, but I do appreciate the way they handle things. I wouldn't mind seeing a concerted effort to turn it into a more competitive desktop operating system. Like you said though, it's a Catch-22 scenario. This is the reason I've really liked seeing how a few newer distros have been handling integration. Solus and Elementary are great examples of how a solid focus on consistency and internal integration can yield a much better product than many of the distros that have come before.

@Jeremy Coleman Thank you for taking the time to reply in such detail, much appreciated. As I said, I am relatively a "newbie" and was actually wondering if I was wrong when I wrote about _power._ Reason being that either my "old" laptop battery have gotten worse, or Linux Mint is draining it (or both). I didn't know that CIV was possible to play on Linux? The only reason I kept windows for so long, was _because_ of Civ V! I enjoy privacy, so I always wanted to use Linux. So using Windows X bothered me a lot. I don't have facebook (well, I _do,_ but it's completely empty, and I never visit it), and though I'm commenting frequently, and am "all over the place" on the internet, I always keep my username and real name separated, and my real name to a minimum on the internet. _(I guess you would too if your first name was as rare as mine)._

Philosophilia Well as a Linux patriot I can tell you I started using Linux only for gaming on only once i started programming i started using it as my main OS

Very fair review imo. You can almost run any Windows based software with some preconfiguration of PlayOnLinux, Wine, .Net framework, and a few other programs that'll facilitate running ".exe's".

I've been using Linux as my desktop computer for over 24 years already. I recently bought a new laser printer. The Linux workstation auto-detected the presence of the printer on my LAN and set it up without me having to do anything. Can you get your MS Windows computer to do that?

depends heavily on your version and what your using it for...

6:46 fedora xD I think he meant arch also, on the point of dependency hell. of course if some program needs another program to run and it doesnt have it, its gonna cause problems. The solution in linux is to install stuff through a repository, which does all this stuff automatically, as you mentioned, but the argument made here being that if someone is offline they cant install the program due to dependency issues. Of course thats gonna happen because you aren't installing it the way it was intended. That would be like saying I cant install apps that arent in the play store, and if I try its just a pain to set up. Just install stuff through the distro's repo. If you can install linux, you can download software over the internet.

Please make more videos of Windows Server features that an IT manager needs to know... A hug from Brazil to you! Thanks!

I've some many errors on my time using windows, then i decided to look up for an alternative, then i ended up using linux, very happy with it

The biggest problem I had while experimenting with Linux was driver support. People say that you can usually find a driver if you know where to look, but if programmers put their apps in a repository, why don't they do it with drivers? Maybe things have changed, it's a been about 2 years since I messed with Linux, but that was something I found very frustrating.
