  1. I am tired of the "free competition" that isn't free. I want everything to blow the fuck up. Apple make search engine, remove themselves from all Google. Samsung needs to make their own eco as well, remove themselves from all Google. So on and so forth. By segmenting everything even more, we are going to get competition in the end.

  2. YES! Amazing! This is EXACTLY what I wanted and needed!! . .. . . . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . Said no one ever.

  3. I already hate it knowing the letters are "PPA". Mozilla... I use Arch adjacent btw. I wouldn't expect nothing else from the "free open browser" that never made the engine open and also started shipping with Gulag as default search engine. If you can't explain why something is a good idea, then is not a good IDEA!!!!

  4. So much corporate drama for a non profit org that is only known by those who would come across it using Linux lmao PS: I do want answers tho, yes. Of course.

  5. I do wonder about your choice of going for a rectangular shaped object instead of an oval or spheric one?

  6. I am learning about it and I was kinda entertained getting to know a little bit of history and where "unix" and "GNU" came from, relating to Linux. So from now on, while I am ok with anyone calling it what they want (which is the essence of this OS! We can do what we want!), I will start calling it G - N - U Linux. Not "Gnu". So maybe some day I will get my own DT pissed 1 minute video. Jokes aside, I do firmly believe that while GNU and knowing why it's there and what it means MATTERS... Tux and Linux is just plain better. The "Gnu" animal is so fucking dumb. Meanwhile the pengWings can look like secret agents. And the word is just cool. "Linux". It's simple, fast, catchy. If you want people to adopt, semantics on silly names are the least of your problems. And to make matters worse, even when "Linux" was a "novelty" 10 or 10+ years ago... for the regular person, it was "Linux, the one with the little penguin". He got upset for a naming scheme he didn't respect himself. Got upset for a personal tier list. What's next? Maybe he does need to sleep.

  7. I love the idea of "You make program I use, I pay for program, the end". My... "Gripe" with that or at least I understand the contention point for it... is that you pay 5 dollars for this, 5 for that, 15 for this, 15 for that. And at the end of the month (in a hypothetical universe because this is just an example) you end up with 300 dollars worth of costs for the software you'll be using. And some will be pay for it once, others will be subscriptions and others will be a middle where you pay for it once as long as you "use that license" which is something I personally don't like because it feels like a devious version of a subscription that is not billed monthly, but it is billed "each time for each device you might want it in".

  8. To summarize: "Skill issue, dumbasses" and "never buying malibal" just in case.

  9. They are better in performance no question, but considering the context even if they add this open source support, buying Nvidia wouldn't be doing anyone any favors. Besides, is not like Nvidia is fantastic either, including Windows. It might work a bit better generally than AMD but they do have their fair share of glitches, bugs, driver crap, etc. not including the company's doings themselves.

  10. How long until they close shop?

  11. After your video, I do not think they are doing open source (as you said, that's ok!) but I do worry. Maybe perhaps because of being ignorant, I thought "open source" was just... "Not proprietary closed code" on where people could look at it and know what was going on. Again, perhaps I'm just ignorant, so maybe I don't represent others but I do feel that me, somewhat tech savvy and that I have dipped my toes into Linux before didn't understand this properly or didn't even know about "fair code" term or even that OSD definition (I didn't even know that existed), maybe other people won't either. And I am South American, which means most people here across several countries (minus Brazil) speak Spanish. I've heard about "Linux", "Foss" and "Open source" since I was a teenager from some (computer class) teachers at school. But I've never heard anyone mention "fair code". Not growing up in school, not on the internet up until this moment (I'm almost 30). I will repeat at the risk of being annoying: perhaps it's just me. Perhaps I dropped the ball in... not seeing that? Or whatever you wanna call it. But I feel the term Open Source goes around willy nilly a lot and I feel a lot of people don't take these guidelines of the term into account. And my gripe is that this wouldn't be brought up by the Microsofts of the world or the Googles. This is something mentioned over and over by people in the community or within the sphere. So the fact that this ISN'T a cemented definition engrained in people's brains as a default thing... in simpler terms and with a comedic twist I see it as "FOSS advocates still fight over the definition of the key characteristic of their software after 50 years". I think this is a great conversation to be had openly and more frequently, and that people should "press" for this to be out there much more. Edit: So if I understand correctly to summarize: Open Source is like super omega free with no restrictions no matter how sad you feel and fair code is anything as open source as it can be but you put in some restrictions. If this is correct, then this distinction needs to be more popular, I feel it's good to know.

  12. English is my second language and I understood the same thing haha

  13. I've been loving the challenge and all the reactions. I am both learning and noticing new things with each. For example, now. Let's go: - Linus doesn't know about apt on Manjaro but sets up a KVM. Also Linus, who is the master of hotkeys and shortcuts doesn't know you can refresh with... F5?. I've always used F5, I swear lol. I don't understand why you'd look for "refresh" in a contextual menu BEING LINUS. Being your mom or whatever it makes total sense; Kinda awesome your mom would know about refreshing. That said, the fact that it isn't in the context menu is kind of a problem and dumb decision. Also, that said, I've been copying from SSD to HDD folders with 4.5Gbs of files (avg) and they're done in like... 2 minutes. And they would be much faster I think, if I had a better PC and more importantly, super fast SSDs like Linus probably does. As for the printers, they both say and show what printers they have so I mean, go watch the video again? Lol Linus talking about file extensions in previous videos and literally going "delete dis, .zip is done!" in this one was hilarious to me. I also don't understand why that happened to Linus. As far as I'm aware, Manjaro ships with VLC. So that should've worked without problems. You recommend VLC, funnily enough Chris Titus recommends Celluloid because VLC works badly for him (and he shows it on the video). I tried both, they're ok. I tried Haruna too. And yes, you can pretty much "configure" and "show alternatives" for almost everything on KDE. That's why I like it, and you can configure the show desktop button to minimize everything. The "On the bottom" text is... a dumb complain. That's just him not liking it, is not an issue. I moved from Manjaro yesterday because I didn't want to deal with "arch stuff", installed Zorin because it looked like it would do the job but then I realized I hate gnome and nautilus. So I just deleted again and installed KDE Neon lol. Still need to finish configuring it, but so far so good. One of the biggest issues Manjaro has imo, even though it's very user friendly, is that Arch needs its own packages and then you have flats and snaps as well (and aur!). Is too much to keep track of if you run into problems later. I like Dolphin a lot, though I do agree that there should be an option to get admin privileges, at least with a warning screen of "hey you gon break stuff if u done goof!".

  14. I love single-click IN KDE. I tried it in Windows, and it was garbage. But on KDE, having the icon of "+/-" for individual selection, is just fantastic. I love it. Also, this "change" is just stupid to worry about, as long as I can select either option to use.
    3
  15. A bunch of channels like yours made some great commentary reactions to this challenge. Sometimes agreeing, sometimes saying "Hey Linus we know you're a new user but this is you being dum dum" (like when interpreting unofficial vs unsupported). I HOPE and cannot wait if this is going to happen, until Anthony makes a react series.

  16. Original comment, deleted because you kind of answered in video that can't be done at browser level: Honest question, no judgment: Why do people like you, who use a "Different chrome" as browsers care about this so much? Don't you feel you are actually doing a disservice by using yet another chromium based browser? Are you afraid that even people who use Chromium Based browsers but not Chrome would get locked out? (I don't see this happening unless Google and Microsoft ally with each other? to not fuck each other over?). You say commenting isn't enough, which I 100% agree, just like marching protests. But is the argument of being a "fork" enough to say you use "chromium but just a bit" and move on? Legitimate question as I have no knowledge about this. No real technical knowledge, I mean. It's the reason why I came back to Firefox (and consequently to Linux), despite the inconveniences. Like if everyone used FF (or Safari) and nothing Chrome related (including Chromium), wouldn't that have much more weight into the web as a whole? (Not saying you HAVE to use FF, just posing the thought). Edit: thinking of Edge, it's the only one that (natively) streams Netflix 1080p or up to 4K, for example. So I think this change would suit Msft to partner with Google. They just play pretend enemies. New addition: We're fucked. Mozilla has been "exploring" the option for tab grouping for more than a year now. They push extensions as "the cool thing" instead of making it into the browser as a feature. They ship things like "pocket" which I guess some people use and others like me, don't. Thankfully you can remove it. My country has 50% poverty and rampant crime where the legal system can't even act quick and swift enough to put criminals in jail (or not release them). I doubt we can do anything at all to have a say in a worldwide internet matter. I still believe that we could do our "grain of sand" part by switching browsers, which is what I have done. My doubts still remain: "In the hypothetical people do not use Chromium based things, would that help"?. That is maybe the main question I actually want to know the answer to. And I said we're fucked because as you said, people are not going to all switch to FF. Or protest. A lot of people just use Edge because it's right there and people like it or not, it's a good browser that works very well, minus Msft telemetry bs and Bing ads. I used it as main browser before switching and some of its stuff, I still miss. Other stuff, I do not.

  17. While KDE has tiling I did install Bismuth and I felt like a half-brodie. It's not as pro/power as a full on tiling WM, but it goes a bit beyond than the KDE base. Pretty effing cool tbh.

  18. Sorry, I am stupid. What isn't a "high DPI" display today? Like my LG Flatron 19'' 768p LCD display from 10 years ago is detected as a high-dpi display.

  19. The fact they added gay and trans stuff to it and "neowofetch" as command makes me not want to use it. I wonder how many people would go nuts for such a silly thing as this one, if instead of that they would've made the command be "2ndamendment" or something like that. Like it doesn't matter what side you're on, why can't you simply develop code and let it be code and call it a day. They always wanna sneak some stupid bs in whether in favor or against whatever topic you can think of. PS: Also lol at your 6750XT being "integrated"

  21. @hoovysimulator2518 I use it - depending on what and how, the AI summarizer is FINE. Is not perfect and SOME AI Answers seem to conflict on certain things because of the sources/info that pulls (at least for the queries I've done myself, maybe other topics are much better or much worse), but otherwise in general is pretty neutral which I like. It usually gives a general description, then pros and cons of something according to that info and then a conclusion as a summary. It's good enough imo.

  23. I use Ecosia. I know it's Bing on the back, but at least they actually have a good mission. (And I don't use Brave except for Netflix with the 1080p extension). I feel it's a good trade off. Results are good enough and at least it's helping something good.

  24. I didn't understand anything except basically they're improving the scheduler. And if this is wrong, then you can believe I certainly don't know what I'm talking about haha. Sounds great though. Great video! You get a like for your cat.

  25. Brodie, if I went back to Linux (not yet) I would go with Endeavour again. My question is, if I do like gaming and KDE, 2 of the best things in the world, should I remain on x11 or should I go with wayland? (AMD GPU). Or is wayland not as ready yet?

  26. With no disrespect, if you want FOSS people to use FOSS, make a Discord alternative/competitor. It doesn't need to be that fancy either. I wouldn't mind, if people start using it, using it myself. I could do without the nitro this, nft that bullshit and the dumbass shitty banners they put on top when a new trendy movement for social justice comes along. To this day people still use TS3 sometimes. I remember using Skype years ago because everyone had skype or it was easy to setup and we just needed to be in a call while playing the games. Discord took over because besides being free to use, it looked modern, had rich features and basically was much better than the competition.

  27. Isn't Google giving Mozilla 500M annually? And keeping Firefox as scapegoat of not being a "monopoly" even though Chrome doesn't hold the highest share "alone" anymore. Sorry, just woke up. Sidetracked here. What I meant by this is, I doubt Google wants Firefox to disappear otherwise they'd just stop paying them. Also this was clearly NOT an artificial slowdown. Maybe it could have, but if you remember, and I do because I used it (lol), Legacy Edge REALLY had a slowdown in comparison to Chromium/Chrome browsers. This 1 second pause before the WHOLE PAGE instantly loading is clearly something else. Addition: I've had zero issues using Edge BUT I do have premium. I am also NOT from NA/EU. And regional selection for tomfoolery is not something YouTube hasn't done in the past. I'd like to see a quick research on "if you had this issue, do you have premium" to check if Premium "enables faster code". (quotes and nuance is important here, please don't think that I think you SHOULD or is good to have to pay for better page loads).

  28. When someone asks why Linux isn't more popular, show them this video! Haha Maintainers and devs at least once a month have a meltdown and decide to go full political, furry or all out insane against their own community. 🤣

  29. I thought flavors were DEs, not distros. You learn something new every day!.

  30. Some people are tribal and annoying (or even aggressive/disrespectful) about it but at the end of the day, they do have a point from heart. If you keep using Ubuntu, Canonical keeps existing. They keep adding Amazon stuff to it and/or snaps, which we all (or most of us) dislike. They keep driving things forward that are not really that great. And it would take a while for "normal people" if Linux got popular, to realize or even care since by nature, Linux already is not on your face all the time unlike Windows. But if people were logical and spoke up whenever something's bad, they would not have to be using Linux in the first place, because Windows would be "good". Does what I'm trying to say make sense? I'm not a Linux expert by any means, but if you're going to use Debian based, go with something simpler, if you do that and you go Ubuntu based sort of speak, why not go Mint directly? Imagine everyone coming to Linux using Ubuntu, and then it gets so popular it starts getting monetized with ads baked in just like Windows... "Linux" will have that image for majority of people regardless of how many distros you have or whatever.

  33. Sentiment is great but Mozilla gets millions from Google so Google having buggy AI used by millions of users and potentially being funded by stealing all that data is what funds Mozilla as well. People always seem to forget this and they keep boasting the argument of using FF against Chromium browsers as if it's noble or something. I'm not saying DON'T use it. I'm saying let's be real about it. The tab grouping feature request has been done about 2 years ago with many comments in the (mozilla) forums and they are "still looking on it" meaning they don't give a shit and they won't do it - a feature that had 2 thousand upvotes which is extremely high considering how many people use FF and then how many of those use community forums to ask for a feature. Then, they suddenly come out with "articles" which a lot of people don't read and they always come off with the wrong impression. This is partially people's responsibility, yes. Thanks to Brodie we can have a video about it. However, if it happens so often then they should revise their communication strategy. This let alone with them shipping with telemetry which many people dislike and also having Google as default search engine, unlike before that it used to have DDG and have Ecosia and others as options right there. This, if it helps people with disability, it's GREAT. I'm ALL for it. But let's not keep pretending FF is a golden standard anymore. It's just another one that luckily, is not Chromium based, but might as well be and it'd be the same.

  34. Ok, so if I understand correctly after watching this video after I started it and then went to take a nap: - Linux isn't that bad, but it has some complications - Factorio ex-modder now turned into official BASED dev is BASED and uses Linux themselves and CARE and are willing to put in the work to port things to the OS and deal with certain complications - GNOME devs have marble as brains and love going against the entire community for whatever reason It's funny, this video is about porting software to Linux and yet I see it as the absolute reason to nuke Gnome forever. I've always liked KDE and yet I knew Gnome was beloved and used by many, so I thought I wouldn't want them to take KDE out, so I wouldn't take Gnome out myself. Now I wish it would go away forever so it stops fucking with progress. Edit: Lmfao at you having AUDIO ISSUES when speaking about Allegro. Allegro is watching. Thought you were not safe with Windows and Microsoft!? HA. You had not... HEARD about Allegro.

  35. I don't understand the issue. I set up my KDE and change the accent colors to orange, as I wanted. The end. Why do we need this new thing? I personally do NOT care about "visual consistency" if I use KDE and there is an app developed for GNOME. I expect it to look ugly as fug (as gnome does) but I wouldn't blame them for the looks.

  36. Well, is not msft - acti-blizz-king. Activision owns King, so King is King, but parent company is Activision. Or Activision-Blizzard, I guess, if they actually merged. But King is not a merge, it's been bought if I understand correctly just like Acti-Blizz got bought by Msft. So Acti-Blizz is still their own thing but owned by Msft. On that note, maybe Linux needs to change names to something else. Name the Penguin and then everyone will be happy? :P

  37.  @lte_2210  Ok, it was my understanding the the open source part is the browser itself or "client" and that is why we have forks of it, but not the engine. Correct me if I'm wrong (I probably am). Follow up question: Why did we not get new browsers (I don't mean forks of it) with its engine to rival Chromium if everyone thought it was such a threat? In the end is kind of irrelevant if they are getting 500M from Google and which is why it makes sense they ship with it as default search now.
    1
  38. For some reason, at 3:40 for like 20 seconds it goes to 190p and then comes back to 1080 xD weird Can you please make a follow up video through EVERYTHING. You know, how you always do, going from one tab to another saying BUT, HOWEVER... PHON. I keep saying people everywhere saying "use firefox, use firefox" ALL the time. But they have a somewhat lackluster development track record due to building other services, they don't even have tab grouping (a request made with like 2500 votes in the community forums over 2 years ago), they added telemetry which I personally don't mind that much, but I do like Brave's "sync chain" thing that doesn't connect to a server. They also get money from Google and started shipping Google as default search engine and got rid of other options. I remember they used to ship FF with you being able to select DDG, Ecosia, Qwant, etc. however now you can't (OOTB experience). How is this any better, really? And people keep saying FF is fully open source. I had thought or at least I saw/heard somewhere maybe in some videos that the "client" was, but not the engine thus why we only have forks of FF but we never got a new browser using FF's engine. It would be really cool if you laid everything out, even if it becomes a longer video because I feel no one talks about this or mention the cons of Mozilla/Firefox and they just push it out to the community like Google pushes Chrome when you go to their sites. That said, responding to your question, just as I have hopped from distro to distro, I've done so with browsers. From IE (lol, really) to Legacy Edge, New Edge, Chrome and almost everything else except Safari. For a long time I've used and loved Firefox (still think their logo is THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL EVER, I just want to press it), but after a while it got stagnant and then all the reasons I stated above. I see no point using the browser that once was god tier and freed people from IE that is now an excuse made by a company that holds a bunch of activist hippies that don't do anything useful. So now I use Brave. I wasn't using it because their UI was fucking garbage. Now that they have changed it into something usable and modern, I have no issues for the most part. The crypto stuff... eh. I just remove/disable and call it a day. I wish it wasn't there but what can you do. And I do miss the customizability of Firefox. Other than that I guess this is fine. Edit: Like as a closing final point... Firefox is getting traction again because it's the best worst option due to everything else using Chromium and due to Google being worse than garbage, but not because themselves have made good strides forward and thus the community likes the features/changes. And that is my biggest gripe.

  41.  @BrodieRobertson  I don't. I agree it would be AWESOME. But if you go to supermarket A, and buy a can of sliced pineapple, and then you go to another supermarket B and try to get the same can, they are not going to let you leave without paying, lol. This is the exact same thing. One thing is OWNING THE PRODUCT, which if you buy directly from the devs, then it would make sense you could run it as many times and anywhere you want that is supported. But Steam, Xbox (Msft store), PlayStation... are publishers. Are that, stores. So you have to buy it again, because you're buying in that store. Your example in the video was perfectly clear and it made sense. Linus is being stupid, which is bad considering he's pretty smart on a lot of things and has a lot of data about business that we don't.

  43. Very simple: You go to the mechanic, and say you're knowledgeable or know your way around. You go to them and say "Hey I think there must be an issue with the [insert thing here] because when [this happens] it does [this] Mechanic: Oh yeah that's right ok we'll look at it / hmm no I don't think so, that behavior is more akin to [insert here]. With AI it would be something like "Sounds like there is an issue with the [insert previous thing here], which is the [explains the thing] and it works by [explains how it works]. Like, yes, the mechanic will know. And not even the most autistic child would interact this way. It is clearly stupid AI.

  44. What does Fedora gain for being such a pain in the ass? You have flathub for flatpaks... why making it harder for users? I don't get it. The ego wars in Linuxsphere is the stupidest thing to exist and keeps hamstringing the OS as a whole.

  45. I understand the sentiment in the first part of the video and agree somewhat but I feel it leaves out the nuance of the inherent problem of this game or these projects. Minecraft is a generic name, clearly on purpose. It's an 8 bit block looking world game, you have mines, you craft. Mix them. The end. I don't wanna sound too South American but... Minecraft is the videogame equivalent to "basketball" or "football" XD imo. Like it doesn't have identity either. What happened was it became the most popular game ever (more or less than Tetris, I can't remember). So for the FOSS one, they are tackling not just a genre but basically an IP. And there is no way around that. Like for example if you wanted to do a school of magic... wow "a wizardy school". Where did we hear that one before? Well no, HOLD ON. This isn't Harry Potter... this is a bit more traditional, classical fantasy stuff. Dragons and... no, hold on, it's NOT LORD OF THE RINGS. Ok what if we make it in the future instead? I SWEAR IT'S NOT STAR WARS MAN, SHUT UP. Of course I'm joking and there are ways you can take certain things from these and not make it the same, but at some point or another, there are going to be overlaps just because of how massive and encompassing these IPs already are. Same for Minecraft which for this case, is basically "the only game" in that genre (it's not, but when you consider the nuance of popularity... it's basically the only one). And if it sounds like a duck, walk like a duck and looks like a duck... it's a duck. The rebrand is pretty good itself, but to be honest it's just a made up name. It could be anything else and it could be just as good, just for the fact that it goes away from the "block", "mine" and "craft" part - which in turn also makes any other made up name generic. It is a short name, if it picks up people will remember (maybe) but is not catchy to the point where "it makes sense". At the same time, to give credit to them, there is a trillion dollar cunt company that is just called "Fruit". Picking a name is pretty damn hard. [edit: had just woken up and the above and below paragraphs kinda contradict each other and thought it was funny so I leave it this way instead of making it better] For how hard this would be, Luanti is pretty fucking good imo but like I said, unless you read the explanation, it does sound like a made up word. It also could've been any fancy word as the name of one of the precious metals or minerals in the game or in the (real) world. Because why not. "Lazuli" is as short and samey as "Luanti", to an extent. With the explanation, I prefer Luanti of course. And looking at the thing today, as a "platform" not just a game... it went from "we're testing minecraft" to "we're becoming roblox"? Again, not bashing the contributors for this one but it proves my previous point. It's now a platform, it has a ton of things being worked on and games being made on it, etc... that's Roblox (as far as I know).

  46. This is my issue when people say "cite sources!" like... unless you have the DIRECT source or from a known reputable site, if you end up in the situation of linking an article from an outlet, you never know... anything. Also, I remember looking for information some years back if The Division 2 would work on Linux. I learnt that wasn't possible due to anti cheat and people were saying that "it was just a toggle, devs just need to enable it". But then I came across more information from others saying it wasn't A TOGGLE like "turn it on" and call it a day. There were flags, compatibility, and other stuff that needed to be implemented as well and kind of baked in / developed for Linux specifically, it wasn't just toggle it on. But I don't know anything so that could be wrong as well.

  47. I tried (once AGAIN) to give Linux a hard try (nuked windows completely) for some months Q4 of last year I believe... I tried using Bottles to install HyperX app for my mouse. Didn't work. In the beginning, had issues with CSGO when cs2 was coming out. The CSGO installer would download an .exe if you installed Steam runtime (like "steam on your system"). Steam as flatpak worked fine, especially after installing that thing for the EZ permissions. Then mounting the drives. Etc. Linux is OMEGA COOL. I will never shy away or change my opinion on that. Linux is awesome, and so are you! (as certain Pro Lady says). But in general if you want for stuff to "just work", you're trading shitty bs from Windows to deal with shitty stupid silly things on Linux. And it's very time consuming, a lot of times.

  48. This is great and hope they do well and don't lose their minds as it often happens with people creating new/unique things. Also that said, call me in 10 years when this is done and usable for everyday stuff without much hassle or compromise. (If YouTube decides to run "bad" on it bc Google, I'll be fine with that. I used Legacy Edge for a long time and that had problems all over the place). PS: Hopefully "Ladybird" is a codename and they'll change it eventually. Not a big deal but is kind of a meh name. As long as it works (eventually) and has good features added for productivity and not a bunch of stupid bs, I won't mind. But I need it to work with no issues, which is the biggest challenges of all.

  49. And this is no counting about the Pre epic EAC vs post Epic EAC right?

  50. I don't know what kind of acorn head thought that telling people you can do stuff without restarting is a good idea. Rebooting/restarting/resetting is literally the first and easiest step to troubleshoot in ANYTHING. Ever. Regardless of the platform. And I don't know why it's a thing at all. Windows doesn't make you restart as much either. You install some updates, and maybe 1 needs a restart, that's it. It's not like you have to restart the computer 5 times in a row. And on Linux, something updates? I restart. Maybe I don't have to, but HOW WOULD I KNOW. I'm not a programmer, I'm not a Linux mastermind or vet either. And for some reason, I have the slight feeling that "this program/piece of software might need to start things on system start" rather than "it's already running and it's fine". Does that make sense? Like I think a restart would load everything up again and as it should to work properly. And Dolphin is perfectly fine to me, better than Windows File Explorer. So clearly I'm not a heavy poweruser of explorers. I'd love to know what's wrong with it.
