@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.

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.
Except that it’s not a CAD, just an electric circuit modelling tool. I mean technically it can be called CAD, but you can’t do shit in it except for circuits.
CAD is “Computer Aided Design”. if you want to talk about parametric modeling, then fucking say that because it’s really a lot more niche than you think.
Photoshop is a CAD by this logic, lol. Grow up, kiddo.
Really? I would say it has less simple stuff and more complicated stuff, although it obviously has a lot of both.
I guess you mean that a lot of proprietary ‘professional’ software doesn’t work out of the box? I guess that’s true, but I wouldn’t call all of the alternatives ‘simple’ 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 :)
The year of the linux desktop was when AMD open sourced their drivers around 5 years ago and Valve partnered with codeweavers to drop Proton. Its only been uphill from there.
Normal business users are fine if the Company hasn’t deep-throated Microsoft. Our Company does all the business work with no windows machine in the whole company.
Being locked-in on Microsoft Office is a thing and not the fault of linux
