  • Yeah I kinda lost interest in Distrotube when he started randomly pulling out guns in videos…

    Like, I don’t care what your political views are as long as you make good content and stay on topic, and keep your views and work separate yaknow. Like hell, if you want to make separate videos about that then by all means, but I’m watching a tutorial on how to set up openbox I don’t care about your guns and freedoms

    Ah yes, windows where I have to somehow figure out how to install the drivers for my network adapter before I can actually connect to the internet, on top of having to go to a different website for each device that needs a driver to find the correct one, download it and install it.

    Vs Linux, where network (and most essential) drivers are baked into the kernel, and all other drivers (for peripherals, etc) can be had via a package manager, where you can often find free and open source solutions. Also, video drivers are automatically installed with the OS (provided you are using a distro with a proper graphical installer for ease of use, cough use Endeavour cough), and automatically updated when the system is updated.





  • Dual boot is really your only option aside from straight up staying on Windows. You can game and general use on Linux, then switch to Windows when it’s time to work. Not the most ideal and I know you said you don’t want to do that, but if you rely on Adobe products (which sadly many people do) you kind of need a Windows install or a Mac.

    Another, much more expensive, option is to get a MacBook (or another laptop I suppose, not sure if the goal is to fully cut out Windows) and have that at your desk for your Adobe uses, and have Linux on your desktop. Not really feasible for most people but I don’t really know your situation so I thought I’d throw it out there.
