@26:07 he says as a business he’s considering Linux on his computers because of Windows privacy violations. It’s great to hear someone with such a wide audience talking about using Linux.

Unfortunately until gaming companies see their base users move to Linux I doubt any changes will happen. But this could be a very good step in that direction if YouTubers start promoting Linux is the way to go for games and web browsers. Some people don’t use anything else.
It’s a chicken and egg problem. Both users and devs need to move at the same time, in reality that means bit by bit.
Hell even if all they did was commit to supporting Proton that would go a long way.
Ironically, that is why I wanted Stadia to succeed. It would have forced many game companies to consider Linux.
But Google screwed the pooch.
Not just gaming companies, but pretty much all companies. Fuck all works on Linux, unless you’re into dev/IT.
Its funny how familiarity works. I think doing simple stuff in windows in infuriating now that im used yo Linux.
I’m not talking about simple stuff. That’s the problem with Linux - it’s only usable for simple stuff.
So CAD is simple stuff huh. So does CFD, mathematical modeling of a complex control system, robotics… Man, if only mechatronics is so simple. I daily drive arch btw.
CAD doesn’t work on Linux, lol.
KiCAD is an extremely competent suite of programs with full linux support, maybe get your head out of the dirt, lol.
Huh? How am I able to daily drive it on multiple machines for audio production, gaming, and workstation use.
I must have accidentally installed Windows…
99% of things people do on a computer just require a web browser, and those definitely work on Linux.
People who only do these things do them on their phones. When you actually need a PC to do shit, you either have to use Windows or MacOS.
And what shit is that?
Lol, sheeeh, the ratio!! I’m a (sadly) Windows-focused sysadmin in higher education and I agree with this, Linux is amazing for servers but normal business users can’t do shit with it : (
This was definitely true ten years ago! I’m sure you’ll catch up to the modern linux experience soon though.
2025 will definitely be the year of the Linux desktop :)
