Okay, I have read all of your comments. I'm gonna go through all of what you've said in a part 2 video, and we'll see who is right. I'm even gonna make it entirely using Linux. Deal?
as an lfs use BTW dont start with arch and wayland i like it it needs work but thats why were a community we fix things
Bodie said MOST of the time. So it's what you said that's false.
Given millions of Linux Users don't seem to have some of the issues you encounter that should tell you something.
I hate my OS too. It simply causes too many errors when I try and use it to drive me to the shops.
So all these videos is just nvidia users who install arch and complain about it being hard, having to use the terminal, or things which are not the fault of linux?
the scale is a gnome problem, not a linux problem
Learning to use linux properly is a journey. I started dual booting Ubuntu over 10 years back, began to use it as a daily driver, then ditched Windows as I stopped playing games. I've used Mint and Ubuntu for years and finally switched to Arch since at some point, I had to compile nearly every package I was seriously interested in manually, since the packaged versions on my system were too old for my use cases. But that was after some years of usage! My advice for you is to take your time, choose a beginner friendly distro like Kubuntu (KDE is great!) and then learn the system. Learn the basics! The arch wiki is a wonderful place for that. And don't be afraid of the command line, it is your most powerful tool.
I am willing to fight those installation battles for the freedom it provides.
I don't pressure any if my friends into linux, each to his own.
I've been using Linux daily since 2008 and love it.
Sorry you had a bad time
You need to give Linux a lot of time. It's very different from Windows and there's a lot you need to understand.
There's a very good reason that I haven't installed Linux on my main system even tho on all secondary systems and family's computers, everything is now Linux. Been using Linux since 2020 but still am not confident about being able to troubleshoot issues on my main rig and have all applications work without issues.
Tbh tho looking at ur work and stuff that you do in general i really don't think linux is for you. What ever gets the job done should be the OS for you, and i don't think anyone should disagree.
List of problems with this video:
1. You use Arch, BTW.
2. You use the absolute worst desktop environment (Gnome)
3. You only used one distro, then judged the whole of the Linux Kernel based on that, instead of using any of the over 100 other distros that are objectively better for new users.
People don't brag about using Arch because it's good, they brag because it's lightweight and complicated. It's the same reason people brag about using Gentoo. That's the joke.
I get all of your criticism. I'm a video and photography editor and designer. I do have a lot of technical knowledge so doing things on linux isn't hard for me. With that being said:
Linux does work for "normal" people. The main problem is the actual idea of "normal" I take that normal just means non technical people. But I'd have to disagree with that idea. I think it goes further than just non technical people.
Anyone who uses highly specialized software is not "normal" a video editor? Not normal. A designer? Not normal. But then… Who is normal?
Normal people are people like my mom. She didn't go to college, she has a simple job, she likes to cook and do bracelets and maybe somewhere to draw simole things. She just needs Office 365, a browser and somewhere to see her photos. Almost anything other than that is not "normal".
Tuxedo OS is for normal people right out of the box. No terminal, no tecnical knowledge, no errors, nothing. She just needed help on how to install it, a thing that most people would need and most likely pay to get someone else to do it for them.
Linux is not ready for specialized individuals. We don't have a good video editor, because we are not many, therefore companies like Adobe never pay us attention at all. Gimp? I'll say it. It fucking sucks. And still is not only the best Linux can do but anyone can do. Photoshop is miles ahead of anything else (a side from that web based Photoshop clone). Da Vinci resolve could easily have Linux support for AAC but they want to use their own solution instead of the one Linux already has. That's why Kden Live has support for it. But guess what. They don't care. I have installed some distros in others PCs. And I always ask: what do you use your PC for? Why? Because i know that a lot of people still could run into problems that they could not fix or that it would take me a lot of time to fix.
I'm sorry you are not happy in Linux. We are doing the best we can, but I'll still show my support to the community since I believe will do better. The Steam deck was a blessing. But that topic is still young in OS time.
Literally the only thing stopping us from having basically all gamers covered is the Kernel level anti-cheat. A thing that we absolutely don't need to have.
Darktable is great. I love it. Kden Live is a little bit rough but it still can do most of the things premiere can. It's by no means industry standard or maybe even ready but it will I have trust. Not faith since I've seen what we are capable of.
I love Linux. On my STEAM DECK.
i think its complete ridicoulus that linux still has NO HDR support. valve patched this into there wayland version in weeks. another point. you cant undervolt your graphics card easy. all stuff that is really easy on windows. the problem is this whole open source thing. nothing fits together properly.
Genuinely, No one is forcing you to use Linux for productivity in the first place, neither is anyone forcing you to use FOSS apps. The AAC codec is a patented license and unavailable to the free version of Davinci Resolve, the patent will expire in 2028 and that's when it becomes available for everyone, it sucks we know. Linux is not a replacement OS for Windows/MacOS. You're right in the fact that we do need standards, but the creation, and finally the acceptance of a de-facto standard is one of the more difficult parts to achieve, we're sort of making our way towards that with immutable distros? Nonetheless, with the lack of acknowledgement from companies to port their software to Linux/give support, granted they are not obligated to for a small userbase, it's still disappointing since most of them have the resources in order to do so.
Better stick with Windows, then.
i use arch btw
Linux sucks. Its so fucking confusing. Switched back to Windows (Revi Os).
Linux is for programmers, Windows for Gamers, Mac for if you're rich.
If Arch is giving you trouble there's a simple solution: Use Slackware until the skill issue is resolved
Did he just say 40 years ? huhhh? 40 ?
Yup… that's Linux… I'm on Arch and the reason I'm on Arch is because after 5 years of this, Arch hurts me the least…
Anyway, the only ~real~ way to fix this stuff is for Linux to get > 10% desktop market share… then that amount of voices complaining about stuff not working will get heard more often then not, also hopefully sufficient funding for developers to fix problems all day.
I love how everyone is missing the point in the comment section, his complaints are valid, and I'm saying that as a software engineer, / kernel dev, using Linux on a daily basis. But at work I only use a MacBook, why ? because it works, if we were to stop wasting our time as a community to each try to build our own distro, with our own package manager, and our own everything, we could actually build something good.
I love Linux, in fact I love KDE, the fact that I can mute and unmute apps and change the volumes right in the context menu is leagues ahead of how Windows does it, though unfortunately, I've come to conclude that if you want to get the absolute most out of your PC, You unfortunately need Windows. though yes, I do love Linux, I have plenty of Gripes about it. Though if I'm not using NVIDIA, (Intel iGPU or Radeon) It's usually smooth Sailing. Even on Wayland.
I agree Linux is badly fragmented. Different package managers, Flatpak, Snapd, Appimage and the Distro's Repos. I wish we had a universal package manager, One like Flatpak, but without the BS "Sandboxing" that causes more problems than anything. (i.e. limited file access, GTK apps not following Breeze themes etc etc)
2:20, and 2:50 GNOME issue, not a Linux issue. Like all the other comments have said, use KDE Plasma – it has had fractional scaling AND a fix for application blurring for at least a year now, if not even longer, unlike GNOME. If it wasn't for the fact you were using Arch, I would justifyingly say you should blame this problem on the OS instead of Linux, but alas, Arch doesn't even have a Desktop Environment (e.g.: GNOME) by default so Arch cannot be blamed here).
NOTE: Steam OS uses KDE Plasma, meaning Valve officially endorses it.
PS: If you need Davinci Resolve, you really should just install Distrobox and use it add a container of a Linux OS (this is to a degree how Flatpaks work) that Davinci officially supports, then install it in there instead of having to deal with potentially breaking your Arch install trying to make it run in an OS (Arch Linux) Davinci doesn't even officially support. Though, keep in mind this approach MIGHT lead to issues with Davinci finding your GPU, so… people are trying to figure that one out.
all i need from linux is browser and singleplayer gaming beyond that if it cant run productivity apps no problem i just start a windows vm heck i am no longer using productivity apps without a vm within windows to begin with and they run no problem now if linux did not have virtualization software then that would be a whole different story
It's relativelly simple to use Linux IF YOU PREPARE PRIOR TO CHANGE.
1) Start using just software who are present on Linux.
2) Purchase a laptop FULL AMD or Intel who comes WITH LINUX (even if you gonna use another distro) OR assemble an FULL AMD Desktop.
3) Uses Arch, Arco or BAZZITE (and on Bazzite use distrobox/flatpak to install software).
4) Use BTRFS on / and install timeshift, timeshift autosnap and btrfs tools so if/when things break you can rollback on grub.
>install arch
>everything breaks
>say linux sucks
Maybe it is easier on Debian based Linux Distros. It seems a lot of programs are focused on Debian. Also I can burn a DVD just fine on my Linux Mint.
no puedes ser novato en linux e ir de lleno a instalar Arch, hay distros para novatos como Mint, Zorin, Kubuntu. No es tan difรญcil elegir si no se sabe nada, para eso esta la IA, chatgpt, etc para que resuelva dudas
I use Windows btw.
try gentoo it is super user friendly for beginners ๐
Did you try Linux Mint perhaps?
2:16 it now exists as of gnome 47!
Make a video complaining about Linux. Does not know the basic.
