    The only problem(s) I have on linux are either my own fault or because Tim Sweeney decides he wants to make it a problem.

        On my laptop with nvidia (msi, debian 12), if I unplug the charger the screen orientation goes from landscape to portrait, everything is tilted 90 degrees. I hate this laptop, so I rarely use it.

        Driver 555 Fixes most of the problems, making the nvidia experience almost flawless. 560 dropping soon too

          They fixed one specific issue afaik, not by actually fixing it but working around it, and they didn’t address the real, main issue: The driver being closed source. Until then, there are and will always be issues that aren’t present for AMD, because the latter has thousands of experts working, fixing and adapting other programs for it for free, around the clock.

    The creator here buys hardware designed to run Linux ( from Tuxedo ) and uses the distro designed to run on that hardware. So no big surprise he thought all hardware problems were solved.

    Probably a similar issue with office apps. He is not trying to share an Outlook calendars with coworkers or deal with complex spreadsheets sent from colleagues. He is probably not sending many PowerPoints to his boss.

    Good on him for reaching out to his community to ensure his opinions are backed by evidence.

      Definitely, he should try using Linux in a typical Microsoft-driven corporate environment with a regular laptop for a month and see how it is.

      What do you mean I can’t install Windows on my new MacBook??? I thought it was only Linux that you had to think about what hardware you were purchasing before whining about incompatibilities.

    at first i was baffled by the people reporting that they couldn’t get gpu and wifi to work; but them i remembered that my experience with those 2 made switch to buying from linux-only companies so long ago that i forgot that most people buy windows-only hardware to try linux on.

    i have linux privilege. lol

      I mean, a lot if people will have Nvidia hardware - which will limit your distro choices right from the start and if said green hardware is recent, well you’re fucked (for just a little while longer it seems).

        that’s why i started buying from linux only companies only; it removes that headache automatically.

    Summary from Gemini

    According to the video, the creator,をしている人 (をしているひと - hito oshiteiru hito, a person who does [something]), The Linux Experiment, conducted a survey to identify the problems people are facing on Linux. Most of the respondents (39%) consider themselves knowledgeable about Linux (39% said they knew their way around Linux and 10% said that Linux had no secrets for them), while only 10% described themselves as beginners.

    Here are the top 3 problems people face on Linux according to the survey:

    • Integrating Linux systems with other devices (36% of people picked this as a paino)
    • Using existing Hardware (28% of people picked this as a problem)
    • Installing software and apps (20% of beginners said it was a problem when the average for the survey is 10%)

    The creator expressed surprise about some of the findings, including:

    • People having trouble with GPUs (34% of people said they had trouble with their GPU)
    • People having trouble with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (17% each)
    • People having trouble with application crashes (25% picked application crashes as a big enough issue that they had to select it)

    The creator also mentioned that people seem to have a positive experience using Linux overall. 56% said they have a few issues but that they don’t impact their trust in their OS and 71% of people who answered also said their experience with Linux was very good better than other operating systems.
