Though I watch all of your videos I didn't recognize there was a survey going on. I only got notice of it after creating a Mastodon account and looking for people to follow. Linux can be a replacement for Windows for the majority of users I´d say and I hope it will do so more an more. Things are HEAVILY improving over the last months and besides for a few multiplayer games I barely boot up Windows anymore and if so I hate the experience every time more and more, too. Sadly the games I play dictate which OS I need to use which annoys me extremely but it is what it is… 😕
Oh and I´d say that I don't think that most people who build their own system choose parts depending on what OS they will run. Besides GPU and some very specific parts – or better said external peripherals – hardware support is on par with Windows nowadays.
Very interesting! I didn't see the survey, but I use Arch, X11 (wayland doesn't play nice with my particularly odd display setup, and ancient hardware), nVidia with proprietary drivers, and I have two separate machines, one running Windows and one running Linux (one of the only few games I play doesn't run on Linux at all due to it's implimentation of anti-cheat, so I have to have a Windows PC to run that, otherwise I wouldn't run Windows at all). Basically the only things I do on a home PC are gaming (mostly on Windows, though, because that PC has a 3070 and my Linux machine has a 1080 Ti, but I have gamed a lot on Linux just to enjoy the process of getting everything working), web browsing and content consumption, and spreadsheeting with OnlyOffice. I've done some streaming on Linux as well, and I've found that the Snap version of OBS Studio is much more feature rich out of the box than any other version, including the flatpak version, so I do use Snaps, as well as AUR, Pacman and Flatpack packages. I distro hopped for a while until I landed on Arch, and I loved it's simplicity and how easy it was to find documentation and user support online for when I needed help with something. Once I had enough figured out, I bought an Asus laptop for my parents, installed Arch, and sent it to them. They've been using it without issue for about a year now, and if anything isn't working as it should, I can easily connect to their machine through AnyDesk and figure it out (which hasn't happened as often as I'd like LOL). Thanks for doing this, maybe do it once a year to keep tabs on things, and because I'd be interested to see how the data fluxuates over time.
Microsofthas made windows a free download because they rely on advertising so much to push windows. If windows wants to get users to drop Linux they will have to drop things like secure boot and TPM from being a condition to download their latest OS and any future OS they develop.
I wanted Mint XFCE on a cheap new PC I bought but it just loaded to a green screen so I installed Ubuntu as I only use the PC for watching tubi and discovery plus.
if you ask witch arch based you use you Should ask what Debian base us including all Ubuntu since after all Ubuntu is Debian. Then numbers would be more accurate.
Love Linux Mint both versions and Tuxedo OS
Glad and pleasantly surprised to see Firefox being very popular, at least in this community.
I hate it when people refer to the fediverse as mastodon
3:20 maybe Steam Deck has increased the popularity of Arch
I strongly dislike Flatpacks and AppImages, but they were the easiest way to get an up-to-date version of a couple of programs on Mint, so I use a few.
The large reason AMD and nVIdia gpus are close is because nVidia gpus dominate laptops. When I was looking for a new, all AMD laptop. It was quite difficult to find one. I wound up with a Corsair a1600 which I was fortunate to pick up at $1,100 USD instead of the retail of nearly $3,000. It seems Corsair discontinued it sadly.
I use pacman packages, flatpaks and appimages altogether
WAIT, THERE'S A HUGE DETAIL HERE:
Acer and Lenovo sometimes sell notebooks with HORRENDOUS DISTROS like Guttta Linux. So it's better to have no OS at all.
ARCH+PLASMA 4 WORLD
Cinnamon is more popular than XFCE????? That's crazy
Fedora user here, let's gooo 💪
I use NixOS btw
The reason Arch was so popular in the survey is because Brodie Robertson linked to the survey on his channel which skewed the results with his mostly Arch followers.
Good to see wayland getting so much popularity. Hopefully they fix screensharing and some other issues aswell
Thing with Arch is, once you really try it and go through the docs and get to the level where you're comfortable customizing the install to your parameters, people rarely go back. Unless you need to reinstall super quick and have some sort of script to setup your environment (albeit these exist on arch too), Arch Linux is the way to go, and NixOS also provides a super, insanely quick way of setting systems up (you literally carry a config file that sets it all up for you).
Linux operating systems really encourage people to become a bit more intimate with their computers, both in hardware and software, due to the tinkering you sometimes require, plus the free and open nature of its code. Getting into the internals is actually not that hard at all, and I really appreciate the (non-elitist) Linux community that teaches and encourages others to learn more about computers.
Much love to all the rest of the Linux users, and a huge shoutout to the ARM bros and gals, I'd love to run an ARM rig soon! Also please announce your polls at the start of your videos, so I can participate next time around. As always, great content!
14:28 i feel like there could be some bias here too, i chose the "i use some flatpak apps" option but i always prefer a distribution's package over flatpak so i actually use flatpak only in very rare cases
what i'm saying is that i think there could be another option that's like "i use very few flatpak apps". or i should've chosen the "i don't use flatpak option". eh. i dunno.
dwm seemed like was missing… and I hate wayland yes… your 60%-ish answers probably came from KDE + gnome added if you think about it and not the tiling wm guys like me because we mostly care for minimalism and performance and with wayland I for example cannot turn off composition to gain perf (its architecturally by design not possible) neither run proper minimal suckless things.
btw I love your channel ! – Keep up the great work
…sorry to beat on about this, but a survey which is only up for two days can't really be considered valid – you will get very skewed results.
Definitely need to re-run the survey to give more people the opportunity to contribute, I'm not sure where this was published, if it's was on masterdon, it may not be surprising that Arch had a good response as these type of people might be into masterdon compared with other Linux users ? (Like me) – If it was published beforehand on you tube, I apologise as I missed it.
Dual/Multiple boot you forgot BSDs. BSDs are not linux distros and they are mostly not even BSD distros. OpenBSD is not the same OS as FreeBSD
It's like saying android is linux. It's not. And android is closer to linux than OpenBSD is to FreeBSD.
I think the big takeaway here is… Be you. Just make the types of videos you want to make and don't worry about "fan service."
You have biases and maybe you poke fun at other preferences from time to time. But that describes pretty much everyone. We all have preferences and can get set in our ways.
If this is a fairly accurate representation of your community, I think the big take away is: Linux users are not fragile lemmings following any voice they hear. Linux users appreciate the general concept of linux… The combination of many small, interchangeable programs to create a whole that works for you. Why would we not enjoy a well put together video that informs us of new options or alerts us to news events affecting our OS of choice?
So don't overthink it, just be you!
I'm disappointed I was unable to contribute to the survey, I watch the channel regularly, was not aware there was a survey, I guess it's too late to add my entry ?
You forgot DWM wm
