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.
I know of a server that was up for about a year and a half
You can do that with Windows 10, etc. too. Just gotta fiddle with a few things >=D
@@Max0r847 I fiddled with this forever. Nothing worked. I could only delay it. Please tell me exactly how.
@@Drone256 So obviously we want to completely disable the update service in Services.msc. But you probably already did that. However, the other thing that needs to be done is to go to the Scheduler and make sure to disable or delete the scheduled tasks that are set to occasionally run those services. Very sneaky how those were put in there. Now there's also another layer that can be added on top of that in terms of changing policy groups or something like that. I forgot exactly how it's done but I can find it if the other stuff doesn't work. However, it may only work for some versions of Windows 10. I myself recently installed the LTSC version and set it to never update. My 10 Pro I'm using right now on this older computer hasn't updated itself in literally 3-4 years, but I don't think I did the group policy thing on it. TBH I don't remember what I did on that. But, on the LTSC, it was just the 3 mentioned things. And of course you better believe I never use Windows legit :D

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?
Maybe better performance, security and privacy. I use it for general purpose since I was 12 years old (I am 21 years old now). Now I'm studying Computer Science and it is very good for programming.
better performance and i think the most important thing is, it doesnt get in your way like windows 10
I dont know why people mention "privacy" while using youtube, which is own by google lmao. If you are using the internet or any kind of social media you are pretty much giving all of your info away, and you can pretty much disable the majority of the tracking stuff from windows. And for the performance part the difference is very minimal and would also depend on the distro that you are using (its usually just a few mbs of ram), which btw, its not always the case. My CPU usage was spiking to 100% while downloading stuff on steam while using Linux Mint, which wasn't the case on windows. I looked it up online at it seems to happen to many people
@@JoseCoss64 how the fuck do you know microsoft is still spying on us even though it said off.
First, it's free. So if you try it you have nothing to lose but time. Especially since you can test the system of the usb stick without installing it (which you should do anyway to check any hardware issue before committing to the installation).
Security and privacy are definitively big concerns but it's not something you will notice in your day to day use. What you're going to notice instantly is the software management and systems updates. You don't have to download any file manually you just find your app in the app-store and click a button, no install wizards at all, like you would do on a phone pretty much. This will also prevent you from downloading malicious crap from the internet if you don't know what you're doing.
Performances will be roughly the same for gaming, some features from Nvidia cards like DLSS may be missing for a while since they update their linux drivers slower than the windows ones. However hardware having a rough time running windows will perform significantly better when running linux for pretty much anything else.
The major drawback for some people I think is the lack of some very popular software like Microsoft Office or the Adobe Creative Suite, and if open alternatives just won't do the job for you, then it's probably better for you to stay on Windows for now. Maybe reconsider Linux again next year and see if something changed ?
Customization can be a huge advantage for you, but it can be safely ignored if you don't want to spend any time on this, most users won't care at all I think. Having hundreds of different Linux distributions can be overwhelming at first. Just go with Pop!_OS LTS if you're lost.

I had and I'm still having a good experience with Linux. Actually, it's improved a lot since I've been using, to the point where I've recommended to my friends - especially for those, with old laptops - and after a break-in period, almost all of them liked it and kept it.

Running a Pentium 4 with 2 gig RAM, using Lubuntu, and its what keeps this PC from being just more E-waste. It works fine for doing things you would use a Chromebook for, despite it being old enough to have a drivers's License. As long as you have a functioning PC, there is Linux that will give it life. It even works for my Pentium 2 machine @ 350mhz. It don't play videos like CZcams, but for browsing, its does fairly well for something running 300mb memory.
damn, linux saves lives
@@maybeanonymous6846 Linux is literally saving the environment.
@Checkpoint I boot at 159 MB, and watching youtube it fluctuates between 50% and 90% on widescreen. Lubuntu reminds me fairly often that I'll soon need a new OS for this PC, as they are discontinuing support for 32 bit processors. So fairly soon I'll have 2 PC's running AntiX. Which is fine, but I'll miss some of the Ubuntu support.
@Checkpoint I started out with Puppy Linux when my Win98 got too long in the tooth. Then Xubuntu (my favorite flavor of Ubuntu) but Lubuntu just works better for old stuff. AntiX is not a bad OS, it just don't feel polished like the Ubuntu clones. So, maybe in a year if the PC is still kicking, or the harddrive finally fails (bad sectors) I'll switch to AntiX for this machine too. I generally use this for Browsing, or watching things online like CZcams or light games. And will likely be doing so for some time.

My dad who's been programming since the 80s refuses to touch Windows because of how restrictive it is, since if you know what you're doing you can do literally anything on Linux. In contrast, when he uses windows (such as on customer PCs) he always feels so limited, like he doesn't have control over the computer, and he doesn't understand why people pay to lose functionality and gain instability. He gets the compatability aspect, but he doesn't use anything that doesn't work on linux and he runs Windows VMs for when he absolutely needs to.

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.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I definitely used virtual desktops with x11+Windowmaker in the 90s
I run Debian and win10 as a kvm its fing great
Nice comment, but one correction: What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Actually, Linux has had multiple virtual TTYs before it was even released.

Microsoft doesn't just 'use' Linux. They actually have their own in-house Linux distro, they have dedicated Linux kernel engineers who regularly contribute to the Linux kernel, and Microsoft are platinum members of the Linux Foundation, which is the highest possible tier. They actually have representatives sitting on the board of the Linux Foundation. I don't know how I feel about them having a voice on the direction of Linux though, when they have a 'sort of' competing product. Actually, I'm quite sure that I don't like it at all, not one bit. But my vote didn't count.
I mean, your average computer user gets confused doing simple tasks in Windows or MacOS, what chance do they have in Linux? That's the main reason why Linux isn't going to become mainstream for desktop users, it's just not user friendly for the majority of people.
It's not user friendly. Period. Even aficionados of the command line can't explain why a modern OS needs a command line, at all.
Correct.
GNOME is so much simplier than dealing with windows layout for the average user. Far easier to.just open a GUI package store and type in.the software they want than go through multiple pages online then a wizard installing it

During Christmas 2019, I put together a Linux computer for my father who is in his 70s. Before that he had an old Mac OS X El Capitan iMac which was no longer suitable for upgrading (2GB of RAM). This Linux computer is using Gnome desktop environment, and my father is very poor at using computers. After a few hours of training, the machine is now his daily driver - internet, email, scanning, printing, viewing photos and pdfs, playing music. He has put his slow iMac away and is using this machine without a problem.
you can run a modern linux distro on an intel imac pretty easy. you can even use dosdude1's installer hacks to (reliably) run up to high sierra if it's 2008 or newer. heck, even my powerpc ibook g4 will run modernish linux kernels if I compile them myself (since most distros dropped non-64bit power cpu support).
Weird flex but OK.
I did the same with my mom! her outdated computer was struggling with windows so I installed ubuntu instead, and she has been happy ever after.

PSA: Using the same home folder in multiple different Linux Distros is very possible, but may mess up any configuration files that you have, user specific configuration files are held in the home files, and you will not be able to configure many of the new Distros default applications/libraries automatically. You could theoretically get around this by creating a script that checks for certain libraries/applications, and if you don't have them, downloads all the applications that you don't have, but then you'd have to make one for every different distribution that you have a chance of using, which could be tedious.
It may not seem like much going from 1% to 2% but the userbase almost doubled, so that's something. I'm sure as windows becomes more untenable, more people will begin switching.

Five ways Linus is just better:

Oh, and, basically, no distro makes any money off _installs_ as it's illegal to sell the "product"/"mental property" itself. It's "wholesale solutions", mostly support contracts, the bigger players are making money off Linux (smaller entities live on subsidies and donations, maybe selling DVDs and manuals).
Let's, for example, dive a bit into RedHat (distro I started with in '96): IBM bought it for ~34bil US$ a year (or two?) ago so they could offer their own full in-house package without any 3rd party involved: from them housing your data, offering 2h-response on-site technicians packed with spare parts fixing your servers, down to 24/7 1st level support if an user's desktop wallpaper won't show up as intended: you pay, you get it. For your datacenter, for your staff of 1500 keyboard whackers. Windows? check. Mac? check. Linux? uuuh...check!
Fun thing is: they don't want you to just download their nicely assorted packages. They try to make you jump through a few hoops, but they can't stop you, though, since they're legally bound to the open source license paperwork, so all you basically have to do is say "I am a developer" and download it for free at developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download . Or you just download Fedora, formerly called RedHat Linux, which basically is RHEL's testbed distro ;-)
...and that's one of the fun things about Linux: even megacorps can't just gobble it up and put a price tag on it. (they do try though!)
@@GutnarmEVE thank you for the information, but..... you just proved the anecdote at 10:33 I was also more then aware of (in the broad sense of) the GPL, but I was also making a follow on as a Hitman would cost money and "Linux" couldn't afford it, cause "Linux" makes no money.

one of the best things i´ve encountered with linux so far is that most distros will have a "try linux" option when you boot from the install media.
i just broke my xubuntu install by trying to update the kernel (lost power. I know..) and the "try xubuntu" option means that I can save all my files and then reinstall.
If you have the technical know-how it's also possible to fix your broken installation with the live-system (the "try it out"). It's kinda impressive what you can do with it if you know how.
Admirable rhythmic cadence vocal rhythm! The vocal cadence is similar to rap. How interesting!

@Johannes Davidsen I use Linux Mint in my PC and I have Laptop runs with Mac both of them looks elegant and I'm happy using them majority of time I'm on Linux computer
Windows is ugly I don't know why their design is so creepy and the last uses of Windows operating system was in 2016 to test Windows 10 and get shocked how is looks so flat and creepy eves win7 is was more acceptable this crazy company walking slowly to shitthole
I think it's over a year since I made the switch from Wndows 10 to Fedora. Other than some quirks (sometimes clicking on the dock doesn't do anything, needs a second click to launch an application) and difficulties (i still haven't customized my desktop's themes and such because it's complicated to do so), I am happy with it.
Playing Steam games, watching Netflix, browsing the internet and doing office work with it.
I've been thinking about switching to Fedora for a while now. If you don't mind me asking, are you running the main GNOME version, or one of its spins? How does it compare to Windows performance-wise?
@@hindigente yes, I am running the GNOME version. performance-wise, it's faster and more stable compared to Windows 10 (the Windows OS I was using before jumping).
even the games i play on Steam took a performance boost. they are Linux native games, though. i haven't tried running games via Proton.
Magic Arena which i run via Lutris (a compatibility tool) is better in Linux because in Windows it tends to crash in the middle of the game.
there are quirks, of course. one is that there's not a simple way to change appearance. like i have to do some research how to change the theme. i am still not able to install new fonts for some reason, though. also, software center is a joke. it often doesn't work.
if you wish to switch to Linux - especially if you have an nVidia graphics card - i would recommend Pop OS instead.
when you mentioned portability i instantly looked at my USB with a persistent Arch Linux installation filled with system testing software and self written hardware debugging tools
You probably missed the one detail that makes the whole difference: EVERYTHING IS IN FILES.

I first tried Linux when I was 17 and man I'm so glad I tried it at that age because I NEEDED to learn everything I could.
As an IT manager, a single flash drive with Linux allowed me to restore forgotten Windows passwords more times than I care to count, not mention the ability to fix HDD issues and errors.
@NoName but windows does not so you can access windows files on linux but you can't do the same for linux.
@ the poster of the first CZcams-comment on this “thread” (I don’t-know what-else to call it):
I have a Asus P43E-XH31. It came with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
One day, [unfortunately], it refused to boot into Windows.
I don’t know-why.
It was working like-a-dream the day before.
I press F8 upon boot (because the instruction-manual of the laptop says to press F8 to go to the [preinstalled/preconfigured] Recovery partition).
Nothing happens.
I manage to create a LiveUSB of a Linux distribution, on a friend’s laptop, and in that laptop, I go to the Help chatroom for that distro to try to get help installing Linux in a empty unused “D”-partition that came in my laptop straight from the factory.
I get assistance installing the-Linux-distro in there.
After I do all the steps counseled by the Linux-distro helpers, I restart my computer and what-do-you-know?: The “G.R.U.B.”-Bootloader immediately-detects my Windows-7 “C” partition, the Recovery partition, and the partition where I installed the-Linux-distro. The “G.R.U.B.”-Bootloader even allows me to select [and go to] the Recovery partition if I want to.
Linux basically saved my computer and made it usable again.
P.S. I have since been-able to go to Windows again, without any problems, and if Windows doesn’t boot-up, I just go to Linux (which *ALWAYS* boots-up-on-me without any problems), and I access through-The-File-Manager the Windows-partition and get my files that I need (pictures, videos, music-files, Word documents, etcetera), and continue to work [/do my job] from Linux.
P.P.S. To anyone that is reading my CZcams-comment:
You can't expect something that was not-designed for Linux to work-well under Linux. Same way I can't-expect the "Oregon Trail" computer-game that I played on the Apple PowerMac computers in my school's computer-lab in 1993 to work-well on my AST "Advantage!" tower-computer that has Windows-95 in it.
The program has to be written for Microsoft Windows, or Linux, or Apple Macintosh, for it to work-well in Microsoft Windows, Linux, or Apple Macintosh, respectively.
(Or in the case of Linux, you can also share the hardware-specifications with the Linux-Foundation (specifically, the Linux-kernel developers) so they can write into the Linux-kernel the drivers for that hardware / the drivers for that particular hardware.
The kernel is the "glue" that allows the hardware and software to talk to each other. It's very important).

Linux had virtual desktops since 1993 (or earlier).
C.f. the fvwm window manager. It lets you jump around from one desktop to another.
I got my start with Linux when a monitor fried and the replacement didn't work with Windows XP... Red Hat 9 was perfect for an offline middle-schooler looking for something to type school reports on and play some simple games. I wound up 'upgrading' the os to Linspire 5.0 when I wanted something that worked with NetZero (a cheap dial up internet provider that used a custom dialer)... I miss those days. KDE just hasn't been the same since.

Hrard to do it when people around you stuck on win because of given apps not quite right working as they should. (Last time a game was borked for a few hours, even on windows (but we did not know this at that exact moment, just about half hour later when i booted up win on my pc just to xheck after i went crazy on the why the fuck its not working now when its worked an hour ago)), and that was the key thing for the user, so after a half hour he said "fuck it im staying on win for now."
This is the year of the Linux desktop!
I got into Linux around 4 years ago because the school laptops ran 8.1 and wouldn't let me install any software on it. I was obsessed with playing Minecraft at that point, so I found Linux and installed it onto my school laptop. Freedom from the blocks the school tried to put on me, and I could play all the Minecraft I wanted. School administrators didn't even lock the bios lmao

I had a friend with an old laptop with a "broken HDD", the technician she took it to tried to format it and reinstall windows and it just wouldn't work. She gave it to me, I put Linux in it and it worked flawlessly. A year later her new IT boyfriend didn't like Linux and tried to put Windows back and he "broke" the laptop again.

Otherwise you can just screenshot a normal terminal window within an X session. No big deal.

I’ve used Linux to recover work files from work laptops no one has used in years or have forgotten the login passwords to. It was much more convenient and cost effective for them to pass it onto me than it was for them to pay the professionals.
