Steve with GN Considering Linux
Steve with GN Considering Linux
@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.
additionally, we can trust him to approach it seriously whereas LTT still treats Linux like an in-joke

Well the only one who seemed to actually like Linux at LTT was
Anthony(don't know her new name)Emily. Once she went to the background after her gender transition, enthusiastic Linux coverage more or less disappearedJake prefers Linux, too. He rolls his eyes all the time at Linus' insistence on running Windows servers, and he's the guy that maintains a lot of that side of the business.
Luke was also advocating for Linux. He said that it was much better in terms of productivity.
GN takes things more seriously than LTT in general. The better, more technical LTT videos are on par with GN's baseline.
DankPods uses Linux on his gaming system, which I just found out recently. Seems like Linux is starting to gain traction in the content creator space now, which is neat.
That's awesome, I remember him mentioning in much older videos that he wants to switch to Linux when its ready enough for him to game on. He also shits on Windows every chance he gets, so glad he got to switch.
In which video did he show he used Linux?

At 11:55 you can see the Gnome top bar, and at 14:50 he mentions it.
Floatplane exclusive, a video about building a new streaming pc for The Drum Thing stream.
Which wouldn't be the case if it wasn't for Davinci Resolve, otherwise these guys would never switch.
Yep, with Linux being able to play most games (and growing) and Microsoft's latest transgression, Linux seems like the logical bastion for anyone tired of features nobody asked for.
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.
Hell even if all they did was commit to supporting Proton that would go a long way.
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.
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.
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...
I kinda doubt they'll fully migrate to Linux since they depend on many proprietary software tools that aren't available outside of Windows.
Yup, their business is doing hardware reviews, which involves benchmarks and whatnot on Windows. So at least those machines will stay Windows, and probably their editing machines.
They might convert a handful of other machines, but I doubt it'll be that many.
My main hope for this is that their feedback helps the development of benchmarking and profiling tools on Linux. They do have quite a bunch of experience with them that could be really useful.
Gamers Nexus + Phoronix
I'd love to see Presentmon get ported to Linux. Especially if it gets updated to understand what Proton or DXVK are doing.
Would be amazing if they could help contribute to NVK.
That would be great
The idea is mentioned only briefly, in a single sentence.
