I don't know how you got 7 hours... I'm getting only around 2 on Tumbleweed, I guess something's just misconfigured though
RAAAAH MAKE IT ANDROID 12 AT LEAST
I have windows 11/ linux mint. My battery life is nearly halved by using windows. It also idles at one third of the ram of windows. I'm using a Acer vero. Which already uses barely any power. My power cord is 60w.
If I get my printer and two monitors working, I am going straight to Linux only.
What happened to Debian? I was expecting to see it since it's considered one of the big ones :/
Me on my laptop i have only 1 slot for hdd, for dual boot windows/debian i need to make a partition on my hdd but when i install Debian, my bios don't show the Debian Partition, so i can't boot Debian, i only see Windows Boot Manager in my boot menu 😣 I search since 2 day on internet, i resolve this problème
Thanks!
Writer Compatibility options are all greyed out for some reason and none of the boxes are ticked.
HOW TO GAME IN LINUX... #1 INSTALL A WINDOWS EMULATOR...(?) THE END... TRUE STORY...🍸😏
Let me guess before I watch video: Ubuntu, Zorin, ElementaryOS
Your poll only filters for self-described experts and beginners. It probably doesn't account for the dunning-krueger effect, where someone may think Linux holds no more secrets right up until they hear the words "cron job" for the first time. It might be helpful to also ask people how long they've been using Linux, and how many distros they've tried, or maybe even a few competency gauging questions (if you can do so without pushing respondents away) to better gauge who's a noobie or not. I'd personally consider myself fairly incompetent, and I've been using Linux for 15 years and am trying to get a Linux Foundation certification. It seems like for the purposes of the survey I should fall in the expert camp of the poll, but would probably have fallen in the noobie camp just due to lack of confidence in my own ability
Clickbait title: "run Adobe Apps like they were native". Content of the video: "don't expect good GPU performance", "assign 4GB of RAM to the VM", "runs well for a VM". Enough said. Not a valid alternative if you need more than MS Word.
Ubuntu
Proton notes would be great
It seems to me that one of the first things to do from the command line is to install synaptic.
I just installed Debian and KDE. Followed in depth tutorials to the letter. Took me two days. Still got issues. I’m dying for an alternative to windows that just works!
I stopped watching when you said “some games” and that I needed to check compatibility. Thanks for saying that up front. Let me know when I can do what I do now on Windows for gaming. I use Linux for lots of things…but not gaming. I will always have a native install of Windows…even if all I do on it is gaming…until that happens.
Hey Nick, I wanted to ask is it just me or is this video not on peertube, I noticed since my RSS feed hadn't found a video of u in a while. Thought u might want to know incase it's not just a problem I am noticing
What music editing software would you recommend guys?
Other feature are:XFS, EXT3 and btrfs is only for Linux Server, on desktop version you use only EXT3 (like Microsoft with The REFS nota available on recente version of windows 10), on First version of Windows 10 REFS is available for Format disks, and on The Newer version REFS is only for server and workstation versions
This is my first visit to your site. Very interesting survey and results. You mentioned skewed results. Let me add my experience from a year ago. I tried to install Linux (two versions from from two different "how to install Linux" videos. I was using a former Window 7 computer with abundantly more than the minimum required hardware. Neither install worked after multiple attempts, so I eventually quit trying to install it. I have kept up interest in Linux, however, and am ready to try again. There seems to be more information and support for running Linus than there was a year ago, so I am going to try again. I wonder how many other "wanna be" Linux users are not using Linux for similar reasons. Of course there is no way to quantify that since they are not Linux users responding to your survey. But I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you for the video.
This was an actual eye opening video. So much mess I have gone used to on Windows that I don’t even think it’s a mess. And so on point with updates. Windows has conditioned me to be afraid of updates that I feel like an old man saying no to them coz I like it the way it is now. I don’t think the same with Android and IOS updates and I’m always excited for them coz they rarely break the existing functionality of the device
Windows can only do one thing and it wins.
?
@@FurryCuddler you all know why people still use Windows nowadays. Many people installed and tested Linux, and then reinstalled Windows to play Windows-only online games, e.g. Black Desert.
@@-TakaTan funnily enough black desert works with proton.
@@FurryCuddler really? since when? then Linux does make progress
Straight from Mr. Robot
Intel gpus don’t work flawlessly, like at all. Getting quicksync to work has been hell on earth for me. I finally got it working and then a kernel update broke it again. I finally had enough and installed windows to do my video compressions.
one of the biggest issues I have (to no ones surprise) is software support, I'm not willing to just stop playing games my friends play and many of them are anti cheat enabled that dont support Linux, and in the case of Destiny 2 never will, and this is also why I stick to windows in general, recently I wanted to edit a short clip, I have an HDR monitor (which is another reason I stick to windows) so the clip was recorded in HDR, Davinchi resolve supports HDR but only on the paid tier and I do not edit videos enough to justify $300 spent, but I can always use a free adobe trial on a new account every couple of months at best I want to edit a video, and well we all know how well adobe mixes with linux, like peanut butter and vomit
Im a new linux usser. I tried nubara because its supposed to be easy to setup for gaming and i was very happy as a noob. it was super easy to get going.
What are your thoughts about getting Nvidia Surround to work on Linux? It works fine in Windows 11 on three 1080p 144hz GSync monitors for a total resolution of 5760x1080. However, on Ubuntu I could not get it to work for the life of me. Its impossible. I know Im not the only one out there whose running a triple monitor setup.
I've never "swapped" given I've got innumerable devices. But since the mid 90s I've found my own personal computing has slowly drifted from commercial offerings to almost exclusively *nixes and like OSes. Used Debian not long after its inception, on and off, then Ubuntu when it arrived. Tried many others (it's quite a list) but never got passed Mint since it came out. I have other systems but... Windows and Mac are practically irrelevant. The level of quality of Linux offerings has gone from impressive to stunning.
Since "Slack" is used to communicate quite sensitive information in Process Management of the Companies, which use it: Isn't using A.I. "sharing" of this information basically "Industrial Spying"?🤔🧐 I mean, *usually* Companies are quite "protective" of their work processes and the "Innovative Projects" they're working on...but if "Slack A.I." (not so) "secretly" shares it among all its Clients, wouldn't that be exactly the thing they all wanted to prevent from happening in the first place? 🤨😏 Sounds pretty stupid to me to "jump on the Hype-Train blinded by the Naiveté of its Novelty" - but that's emotionally immature "Adults" (or those who are aware of the hype and are just sociopath enough to try and make as much "ching-ching" out of it for themselves, no matter the consequences for anyone else!) for ya, I guess...nobody taught them how important it is to cut the BS from our own perception(s) first, so they think what *they* perceive is "da Truth and da only Truth" as if they're "inspired by the Divine Spirit" and entitled to "save everyone from our critical thinking"😅🤦🏻♂ I know I've been that way before I got a quite painful "Reality Check" in my 20s and 30s...but, I dunno if it's ok to let the "(inner) kids" of quite powerful (Tech- and Political) "Leaders" make a mistake, that could potentially annihilate all trust in fact reports and dissolve the very *Foundation of inter-human Social Interaction* (trust)... Whoever thought this was a "good idea", should be having someone else's 5 fingers talk to their f**king face to snap the f**k outta it! You're welcome...now, let's continue with the "Shit-Show", that Reality has become (also "lovingly" called "The Enshittenment" by @TheJuiceMedia amongst others). Toodle-loo❣😘
FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NETBSD are alive and well. Pfsense is the best firewall (for instance). Juniper screwed up their version of FreeBSD as did Mac😮
Anyone remembers the game called street rod ? 😅I’m so old ! Lol
The only set of applications that are garaunteed to make you look like a 3rd grader's first book report no matter how hard you try to make it look professional. That and it's missing most of the functions you actually actually need. The suite has only had minor tweaks to the UI since 2010, it's added no addtional features. The "Excel" can barely do any sort of functions or formulas anything beyond 2 + 2 and you're SOL. Their PowerPoint makes Google's version look professional. That's the problem with Open Source and free they only thing they have to try to trash the competition while pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining. If you want to look semi professional and good, just use Google Drive, if you don't want to pay for Office.
i personally think nix is the best package format, its bigger than the aur, solves dependancy hell, is fully open source(i think) and im pretty sure they integrate with your system
Kali 😎
nice fractal terra rebrand :D
And why on earth would a feature like recall need to be part of the OS itself? The OS should allow applications to run, not be filled with bloatware and ridiculous stuff that impairs your ability to run the applications that you actually want to run on your computer.
It already exists, its called chromeos
What’s wrong with “history | grep ffmpeg”?
one major issue i been having is latly linux mint has decided it wants to make my hardrives and solid state drives THREE TIMES HOTTER than windows! when in past linux was known to me to do MUCH MUCH MUCH less heat and waer and tear on HDD/SSD!
This is a big mess. That’s why I don’t know what exactly I have installed in my machine during time!
Linux right now: > Create OS > Do basically nothign save for some QOL and perfomance updates > Windows continues to shoot itself in the foot > Stonks
Loved the video. Sadly I had to watch it on youtube. Is that intentional or has something gone wrong with tilvids?
gnome has come a long way
After trying over 150 different distos in a 17 Year period, I AM TOASTED!
Well, I just installed Zorin... I had more to gain with POP OS...
i search for a distro called ubuntu electronics remix for electronics an iso who i can not find anywhere
You are not confusing desktop i. e.KDE did the OS are you?
I love how Linux has not improved in any meaningful way for regular every day use by normal people in the last 10 years. Same shit is chunky and unusable now that was chunky and unusable in 2014. Wtf are all these people who live and die by linux doing with their time. Like what are they even coding/doing that 10 years = no results that actually matter.
pov linux users saying that linux is cool and you should install it
Okay, clown. I assume you're bad in all OSs except your beloved linux
windows users try not to shit on an on that's genuinely better than windows in every aspect:
