Video

I didn't know about goverlay so that already makes the video worth a like from me. One thing i would like to point is that for anyone who doesn't want to mess with config files and stuff for mouse sensitivity there are gui options to do this, some distros have the option to disable acceleration and adjust mouse speed under settings, or using third party apps like gnome tweaks for ubuntu and other distros (it also gives a bunch of nice config options for other things)

Many of those developers for online games don't give support first because of the marketshare as you mention, but also the problem is the anti cheat companies not supporting linux, an ideal scenario would be games completely ditching such software but as of today that would be impossible. This makes some certain games have a peculiar situation where if you obtain a legally dubious copy with drm and such garbage disabled it is more likely to work on linux than a standard copy from the official store.

doea it get u banned ??

i was switching from windows to gentoo without knowing things about linux man this was a hell of a ride

I was pissed enough to switch at xp I raided wow on a live cd and a usb backup drive 5minutes after my real HD died. The learning curve is worth it.

hey. does hoyoverse still bans your account for running the game in a vm? i know they did in the past, cuz you had to completely disable the kernel level anti cheat, cuz it only ran on the windows kernel

I see osu lazer lets gooooo

"Linux is NOT compatible with hardware" How come all my weird oddball devices run Linux by default?

update on my part, like a rat on a sinking ship a week ago i bailed on windows 11 on a 3k self built pc, it now has arch build from base arch and using arch install, i really like kde and just recently it supports both hdr and vrr, you need headers gamemode ptotonup-qt power-profiles-daemon and a couple more with steam in compatibility mode and install proton GE 9-11, even starfield is running fabulously

Nobara is a fedora-based distro by linux gaming expert Glorious Eggroll. Most gamers that don't know how to use linux and want to try it should use it because it's game ready on install with all the tweaks that makes gaming that extra bit more perfomant while also increasing combatibilty. Alternatively, Debian 12 is pretty good and light, better if you have an AMD GPU. It'll be your more set it and forget it kind of setup

Windows eats where it shits, Linux does not. I chose a Debian based distro, and at first it was great, because of how stable it is. But then you try to install some software, maybe you need to compile modern source code, and suddenly you need dependencies that isn't old as shit. This has led me down the route of going mostly for flatpak versions of software, and that's how I've gained an appreciation for software being partitioned from the OS. That's not how Windows works, software you install there has dependencies thrown around all over the place, that's how those big software suites can burrow into the OS. Oh and how invasive anticheat works. How Sony installed a rootkit back in the day, how µtorrent installed a bitcoin miner and so on and so forth. That's not to say Linux is "better", only philosophically in my opinion, because a lot of extra work is often needed. But I feel like the rewards are worth it. As an older gentleman in his early 40s, I've played the competitive games, I don't need much anymore, so it's easier for me to say to someone with an active gaming friend group to switch, because maybe that's not what you want to pour all your time into instead of the fast and loose approach Windows has.

Can someone please helpppp meee: Will i be able to customize my gigabyte aorus master 3060ti tiny little screen on the gpu??

Only reason why l do not switch to Linux as my main OS is because of gaming.

I can recommend zorin to people who are first to linux. I have it and happy with it. Now I learned and understand many things. I’m planning to switch to Debian when debian 13 comes.(I know it’s a really good distro. I just didn’t understand it first.) I have a trust issue on ubuntu and ubuntu based distros. 😅

i use MX Linux and Linux Mint....

"Linux is not secure". WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

I had used some Ubuntu distros like Ubuntu itself, KDE neon, xfce mint and than I discovered arch Linux and I am with it since😊

i am tired of windows 11 & one drive mandates. Windows is just becoming a terrible experience.

My bra. My sister asking me to play genshin impact is gebreklik. But as a true South African. I think the waifus are very lekker for me

The statement "Linux is not compatible with hardware" holds some truth, especially when it comes to bleeding-edge technology and specialized devices like handhelds. For instance, I had to wait for kernel 6.10 to use the keyboard on my new 2024 Asus Vivobook 15 Pro. Additionally, Linux struggles with hybrid GPU switching on my laptop. Despite installing the drivers, Linux (Nobara) detects my NVIDIA 4060 GPU but doesn’t necessarily utilize it for gaming out of the box. While it’s not entirely accurate to say Linux is completely incompatible with hardware, there’s a kernel of truth in it. Linux still lags behind Windows and macOS as a mainstream competitor. With only about 4% of the PC user base using Linux, the operating system faces challenges. These include the learning curve for new users, the complexity of some distributions, and general unfamiliarity with the platform. It will likely be years, if not decades, before Linux can truly compete with Windows or macOS on a large scale. Moreover, we shouldn’t overlook the fact that many regular users-who don’t game or aren’t particularly tech-savvy-are unlikely to adopt Linux. This segment of users, in particular, will find Linux less appealing due to its complexity and lack of widespread software support.

buddy Ubuntu is a horrible choice. I recommend staying far away from it.

"Linux is not secure" is wild

Ubuntu is practically Windows 11 with the data collected and annoyances. I haven't used Fedora, but I've heard very great things. For gaming however, I use Garuda Linux. I am thoroughly impressed. It's arch Linux with no headache and a similar to Fedora look. You install it and it just works.

while watching this video my internet keeps crashing and no not my actual internet im texting my friend on discord on my android phone constantly like this is just why and also as long as i keep a cpu uptime of my usual 10 to 20 days straight i get less and less problems the moment i "turn it off and on again" theres always a higher chance of complete input freeze followed by a bluescreen if i wait for like 10 to 30 minutes so i just keep restarting until it stops doing that

first time i installed linux was like 3 days ago, linux mint worked well but ther beeen graphcial glitches soo i installed endevandour os and it works well (after re install bcz first time i broke my sound and i didnt wanted to try fix it

I'm not new to Linux, but I am also not good yet. I tried beginner friendly distros but they were just not for me, so eventually I jumped a lot of steps and went into Arch. No, not because the memes, but I wanted to learn how to do things from scratch. I am a visual hands on learner and while beginner distros usually come with everything you need, I wanted to learn how to do it myself and that's what pushed me to use vanilla Arch, so that if something breaks, I will know where to look and how to fix it. To top it off, my hardware is new/recent, so I figured a rolling release would be best. I also sold my 4090 to get a 7900XTX JUST so I can use Linux without graphical issues months ago (before Nvidia even thought of going open source). So far, no regrets.

Gaming on Linux and programing on Windows 😣

I liked you Video :) Linux is super.

Hi. I'm glad I found your channel. So far my experience with genshin on linux was not so good but it works more or less. The biggest pain is caused by my old 2GB Nvidia's GTX 660. I'm getting a better GPU so hopefully that will resolve some issues but maybe someone else would find your input helpful. Generally, I'm experiencing some problems that I didn't notice when playing on windows. Some places aren't properly displayed. For example the place where the seahorse boss in Fountaine is or some places Chenyu or Summeru. My screen is visibly split into areas that contain small rectangles, some of which are rendered correctly and other are just black. My guess is, not enough memory but idk if it works this way. Maybe it's the old driver's fault. I try to avoid those places because I don't know If going further doesn't cause more errors. Also, that's probably not the GPU's fault (or is it?) but signals/events from keybord sometimes get "queued" and are executed a couple of seconds later than I press the button because the previous action was still running. Which makes me fall off a cliff or something because I can't turn back or fly. It doesn't happen with mouse btw. I launch genshin with heroic launcher and play on lowest graphic settings. I haven't tried playing other games yet, so unfortunately can't compare how they run.

Dude i played genshin in both ms windows and mx linux. I have 8 gb ram and my lap. Get usually hang in window when i open any software with game meanwhile nothing happened in linux and doesn't lag for me

It's probably not the mountain I feel like it is, but I'm scared to go through setting it up and messing up some how, and then it may not even support all my software needs. Ig the best in between might be running both? Tbh I didn't even know you could do that. Honestly, the more time passes, and the worse Windows gets, the more incentivized I feel that I will inevitably have to pick up linux one day. In fact, next pc or laptop I'll probably switch. Anyways, I know we see a lot of techie videos on how bad Windows is getting, but I think most users don't really feel it since it's very useable on a daily basis, and it's everywhere. More people would switch to linux, but people are (understandably) turned off by the fact that it's not as beginner friendly as windows. For most ppl it's either Windows or Apple, they don't really know much about anything else, they feel like they don't need to learn about other options. And Ig the average user doesn't necessarily need to switch (rn anyways) if they do very simple tasks and have no concerns about the lack of privacy, heavy advertising, etc. A lot of people only trust what's ultra mainstream, and they do not want to do the work of putting Linux just to make a pc/laptop usable when there are countless laptops and PCs w Windows or Apple installed already, that's the standard. People also hate the idea of having to switch what they're used to. It could be hard, it could be easy, it could take long to get used to it, you might have to compromise somehow along the way, but you'll never know until you make the switch and I thinking about that is another reason why ppl don't switch to linux. People only remember how bad Windows is when they go through a blue screen or death or when we have situations like that recent event where worldwide, Windows failed so unbelievably bad. But it's getting bad. The "AI" image generation (I swear, all these corps are obsessed w "AI", on a side note, thank you for crediting the the people in the description), ads, and random website articles in the search function, updates being mostly just cosmetic and just to be more beginner friendly (there's a point where you just can't make it more beginner friendly than it already is), bloatware (why the heck is Disney +, Spotify, etc auto installed?), files search function getting ruined with updates (now I always have to put an asterisk at the end to make sure it searches through *all* of my files which we didn't even have to do b4) etc. The thing that gets me most is the fact they have billions of dollars both from being the most widely distributed OS, and from Microsoft (Ik they gotta be making bank off of Minecraft) and yet... Window's progress as an OS just feels so stagnant and un-innovative. They just sit on their billions and don't bring anything good (passable and usable, yes, but not good) to the table, just like every other billion dollar company. How do you expect to surpass Apple if you're not even trying to be innovative and you make it feel like a OS that can't even be viewed as premium compared to it? It is constantly regressing, it feels like all the changes we get are mostly just to appear more cosmetically appealing and more beginner friendly (obviously taking heavy inspiration from Apple sometimes) and yet it somehow fails at both goals. Every time they try to appear innovative to consumers they're clearly just hopping in on the bandwagon, Apple, corps going heavy on AI, Cortana, AI copilot, etc. They need to focus more on fixing concerning issues (that we as consumers shouldn't have to deal w) and focus on improving the software.

Will AutoCAD work on Linux?

I use Mint and CinnamonDE with any distro i try i always goto Cinnamon

if linux can run apex then I'm gone

Too many linux versions to go through and find the right one. What is like the basic linux version compared to a basic windows 10? No mods, no hacks, nothing else put on there. just out of the box plug and play. something you can find at best buy or target etc.

Linux is the future

Congratulations on your switch

"gaming has got way better" heard that 5 years ago

Also, many of us would possibly tolerate the BS Windows updates when the damn OS decides to install them IF... WINDOWS WOULD BE SO KIND AND WOULDN'T BALATANTLY LIE WHEN IT COMES TO THE DISPLAYED *% AND TIME* TO COMPLETION!!! *GRRRRrrr!!!* I mean, common... It's not that hard. Either give us a reasonable (doesn't even have to be accurate!) time in minutes till ACTUAL COMPLETION ALONG WITH AN ACCOMPANYING PERCENTAGE THAT DOESN'T JUMP BACK AND FORTH DEPENDING ON HOW IT'S FEELING THAT PARTICULAR MORNING! PLEASE!?!?!?

You should've said which games you're showing gameplay from, in case someone finds them interesting.

Linux wont let me type in my password

I’ve heard some hsr players got banned for playing on linux (think they had to use a custom launcher or something) so do it at your own risk.

Who tf said linux is not secure 😂😂

I'm glad Linux is getting better (I <3 PlayOnLinux for its wrappers and that it does not require making a script in some proprietary language -- it's just Bash + some exported functions provided by POL). Sadly, my gaming laptop likely won't make installing Linux easy, mainly because its own screen is so useless to the point where I must rely on the full-sized HDMI port I use for my small HDTV.

I've never had a problem with Linux as long as it was for a non gaming system, my old desktop from a decade ago had Ubuntu and I used that for years with no issues. I started having issues with this system and trying to game, stupid stuff like trying to fix game not launching, get them working only for the next update to break it again. It felt like a consistent battle for me, of which I had very few "wins". I am a gamer of a few games, World of Warships (stand alone client not Steam) they are not cross compatible, not losing many years of progress, and Destiny 2 which is unplayable on Linux due to anti-cheat. Those are really they only things I play D2 being the main one roughly 90% of the time, I tried to get into other games, but even stuff like wemod was giving me issues. I would fix one issue only to be faced with the next, it was this on repeat for everything I don't dislike Linux, I just didn't enjoy gaming on it. As for a normal desktop/laptop absolutely no issues, but I've tried everything from Manjaro to Nobara with each giving me enough issues where I never felt like I was learning or progressing. I don't mind learning, as long as I feel I am making some progress, it took me roughly 3 days to get the World of Warships launcher working in Bottles and I was VERY happy to finally feel like I accomplished something, which broke the very next update. Stupid stuff like enabling G-sync or vsync in Linux would break games for me, this was an issue which took me a few days to realize once I came to the conclusion this stuff was working before I turned g-sync on. Also stuff like my speakers only working at 10% volume even when set to max, was never able to fix this, no matter how many times I tried I would only get a fraction of the normal volume even though my dedicated dac worked without issue.

I only had probelms with installing programs and for some reason i could not get my bluetooth headphpnes to work and than i couldnt get apps orndrivers to install for some reason

I'd use it If I could have audio

you should switch to Arch/Gentoo Btw

Yea am like no on the upcoming Windows 1984 edition

I use exclusively linux for about a year and had almost no problem with it. I am not gamer, so ot probably helped me. Now with proton, gaming is not issue at all if I want to play something sometime. I am programmer and hate programming in windows. Terminal tools anf workflows for windows are so bad.
