stop dumping every linux review video ffs
If you can’t use it, don’t use it. There are other things in life besides constantly thinking about operating systems.
Blasphemy quick stone the unbelievers.
Kidding of course. Have to admit I agree. I’ve used Linux since the late 1990s. So long long before it was usable by most folks standards.
I started because my university had HPUX machines that we needed to submit work on. So wanted a unix like enviroment at home I could work on. This was a tim when linux was basically slackers on 50plus floppy disks. Xwindows needed configuring for every monitor. Honestly by current standards usability was non existant compared to windows.
But honestly I spent so much time on the system. And watched it improve. To the point I find windows an utter pain in the arse now. And will avoid it under all circumstances.
But the idea of convincing folks who have no interest. Where the hell do folks find the time.
Every time I see him I can’t believe Tek Syndicate is still around.
Arch a video, I wish someone would just list those 3 reasons as text here ^^
You can and should use whatever OS fits your use case. Right tool for the job and all that.
What you should not do is post a clickbait video to trigger the penguins into giving you views.
Having only a clickbait title to go on, rather than watch the video I’ll just guess:
-
But I NEED Adobe Microsoft Fortnight Premiere Plus Pro Version 16 to LIVE
-
Other religious reasons.
-
Don’t have a computer.
From video description:
Reason 1: Gaming Reason 2: Creative Apps Reason 3: Foobar2000 (my music player) Reason 4 (bonus) Fussing, fussing, fussing!

Some people will never be willing to move to Linux. Even if Linux was 98% compatible with their needs, they would stay on Windows for that remaining 2%.
There are folks who would let Windows punch them in the groin or slap them across the face once per month as long as they could play their favorite kernel-level anticheat esport trash.
There are a few people who make their living using evil software like the Adobe suite, and for them I truly feel sorry that they are trapped in the dystopian hell of modern proprietary software, but we do live in a society I guess.
The tough truth is, many people don’t really give a shit about privacy, consumer rights, software freedom, or transparency, even if they say they do. They will huff and puff about how terrible Windows has gotten. They will rant and rave about how ridiculous the ads are in their OS or how they think it’s wrong for their OS to spy and track their actions constantly.
But when the rubber meets the road and they can sacrifice a few things to gain their freedom, they won’t do it. I know, because I have multiple friends and family that have been acting like this for years.
Whenever I suggest Linux or FOSS alternatives to their proprietary apps, they initially are interested. But of course they will always find the one or two things they like to use/play/have that doesn’t work or is a pain on Linux, and they bail.
I had one friend who was saying they were “totally serious about switching to Linux soon.” But they bailed when they found out that Valorant doesn’t work on Linux. Do they play Valorant actively? No, they haven’t played it in years, but they, “wanted the possibility to play it just in case they decided to get back into it again.”
Personally, there isn’t a single game or piece of software I would ever give up Linux for. I just flat out refuse to use Windows or MacOS on any of my personal computers. It’s a pledge I made years ago and I will forever stick to it.
Hot take: If you claim to be against all the big tech abuses and value software and computing freedom, but a handful of PC games is enough to stop you from leaving an abusive proprietary OS, you weren’t very serious about it to begin with.
