@@zz65612Disclaimer: This is my understanding of how a Kernel level Anticheat works, might contain misinformation. A Kernel Level Anticheat (KLA, or Level-0 AntiCheat) is different from "regular" AntiCheat like EAC or BattlEye. The "regular" AntiCheat only runs, while the software is running, protecting the software from third-party mods/cheats, which alters the softwares code. A Level-0 anticheat (referred to as a KLA) works differently, as it is running as a System-Service on your device, no matter if the game is running or not (it gets started on the OS-Boot). This allows the KLA to monitor low-level cheats, which alter the softwares reserved memory space. Since the KLA is running as a system service, injecting into the memory space of the software is hardly possible. (I don't say it's impossible, there may be ways to go around, but hardly). To pass around a KLA, it is possible to use so-called "offline-cheats". Seperate hardware, which analyze the memory-space before the KLA triggers on a different machine. This however is more expensive, since you need additional hardware and a deep understanding of how a computer works. While many gamers don't care about a KLA, since "It just works", the KLA could be used by the company to additionally collect data of you. Since many users already use Windoze and use the phrase "I don't have anything to hide", those users don't care, if their data is being collected and sold. But if you value your privacy, stay away from games with a KLA (and best from Windoze).

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.

By the way, when I said in my comment 'It would be much more effective to explain how they can do what they currently do on Windows using Linux,' I meant, for example, you mentioned Wine but didn't talk about how to install it or any additional settings. I'm not saying you should do that, by the way; I think your video was highly unnecessary. Telling people to switch to Linux for a feature in Windows is clearly disrupting their work and comfort. How can we invite them to Linux when it's not providing a 100% benefit and might even cause harm? This makes us look bad and breaks trust in our community. Lastly, telling people to switch to Linux by giving up some applications and accepting alternatives is also damaging to the community. This should be acknowledged.

Lol, because of backward compatibility issue (basically you will lose all your previous purchases, for an empty app store..) 90% of the users will say no thanks.. and that is still the majority, developers will never choose the platform with low market share.. because the reacheable users are their pozential profit.. what do you think where you can get more money, where are 95% of the users or where are the 5%? And even if developers choose a new environment for their work, that will be the MacOS with about yearly 300million gameing capable devices sale (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop use, and can run the same source code natively), and also the Apple app store is the most profitable store on the planet (don't forget the store earning is the 15-30% cut from the price, if that is more, than the remain 85-70% is more too like in other stores, even if the Google store have higher amount of users, the piracy there is also insane, so the store and the developers are earn less like at Apple..) So why would anybody choose the Linux with almost zero market share when they can develop apps for Apple, who alone earn more money in the store like the Google + Playstation + Steam store together, so the devs are also earn more (less piracy is more profit for the devs too, not just for Apple..)

Just be sure to update to the latest version and it'll do its magic. Proton also allows you to launch bioware games and the bioware launcher simultaneously, but you can only do that via purchasing the bioware games via steam and installing it. The trick is to use "Proton Experimental" for the first time after each game install and launch for the first time. After that, switching to latest Proton version which I believe is Proton 9.0-2

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

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.

Easy as pie! If it wasn't for gaming issues and things like the Adobe suite, I personally believe more people would be making the switch. It's getting better, but some still need Windows for those things like you said.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out!
Got into linux after first hearing about the recall feature, started out with garuda (I can't recommend), then jumped around a bit between different ones (primarily with KDE Plasma). I also tried Linux Mint, while it was fine and simple it wasn't for me, some things were actually also kinda broken on it. After Linux Mint I went to Fedora (with gnome) and man I've found my "home" on it, everything works and what doesn't work right away is easily fixed. I can play all the games I want to play, do everything I do daily. It's just great, just like your video. Very good work :D

Remember that your wheels and gizmos don't work because the people you bought it from didn't make any drivers which isn't the fault of the operating system.
One thing newbies to Linux Mint should know that in the Software Manager, you DO get a choice between a normal installation of that software (if you don't mind using an older version) or as Flatpak to run the latest version. This can be decided on a case-by-case basis.

If you want to run the latest version of anything you've got to git clone the dev tree and build it. Which is a normal thing to do on Linux. I would advise against installing anything you do that with to the default location though. I run most everything I can in place right where I built it. But if it has to be installed I change the prefix to somewhere in my home directory. Installing random out of repo crap all over your system is just bad form.
it only made sense to switch to Linux full time: router, AP, photo downloader (pi), home made NAS (pi), server (Ubuntu), all run on Linux. Am using PopOS and haven't had the need to switch back to windows. It just works!

Because it does in most cases. Just stay away from latest hardware as it will take some time for Linux to support them. Make sure what Kernel version your distro have and choose any distro with latest Kernal (fedora and Mx Linux for example). Nvidia hardware may cause some issue. Hybrid graphics may cause some issue but it's fixable in most cases. And importantly not all distro works well with all hardware. So if some distro does not work for you, switch to something else. And is you are beginner after installing any distro watch videos or read articles on things to do after installing that distro. Googling something goes a long way

-If you delete something in ext3-4 format, good luck restoring it. But with Windows, there is a chance and many softwares to do this for ntfs or other storage format of usb drives and sd card. -Many laptops have no Linux drivers, like webcams, microphones, wifi, and gpu. You have to buy a popular USA brand like Dell or HP to use Linux without driver problems (which means buying a famous laptop in both brand and model). Even if you find the driver for the device, you still lack the software if the driver comes with it. -in games Not just anti-cheat is going to bother you if you are someone who doesn't use a mouse or keyboard for every game. You will have to configure your controllers. If you have a cheap controller, there are many community tools to configure it, and if you have an expensive one, you have software from the manufacturer, but both are available in Windows. I never could or saw a sim racing setup runs on Linux; also not everyone is buying games from Steam to use the mapping option; steam is not working with every controller BTW. dont worry, each windows problem has fix, in 2014 i was saying windows is done but just after year used windows again.

these days if you're silly enough to only have one copy of anything and delete it, regardless of the system you use that's your fault. I've not had to use undelete software for well over twenty five years because I keep duplicates of everything on different computers, cloud services or my own NAS. My duplication methods have become more complex over the years. I lost some at the time important to me files that I'd still like to have (Doom 2 levels I entered into a competition) when my PC's drive died. Then the magazine folded so I couldn't request my files back. Months of work lost on levels for a game I still play. I can recreate them, but not exactly, and the editor I used no longer works. I knew someone who lost the files for his Ph.D thesis just before he was due to submit it. This happened a few months after I started mine, eight years after I lost those files, so well into my file loss paranoia. He wasn't allowed any more funding, so had to leave and write it all over again from home. A pretty dumb thing to do really.
