Goddamit... You can sell Linux, people don't make viruses for Linux not because it's free but because its market share is too small to bother with, Linux does not come ready out of the box (most of the distributions do not come with popular codecs), and Microsoft does not offer paid PC repair services!!! You barely even know what you are talking about...
Wow, what is with the hostility towards Linux. Have the people hostile to it actually used it? It is the predominant OS used on servers, and is becoming more common on desktops. It is in all types of devices. OSX and android systems are based on it. The government of Spain has almost entirely switched to Linux saving their citizens from paying licensing fees. They even have their own distribution. It isn't just for nerds at command prompts. My dad uses it with no problem and he can't even type.
It's free and you can't sell it..REALLY? THIS IS NEWS TO ME. Next time type it out or better yet don't make more videos, this was a terrible review of linux, i learned nothing.
Allow me to interject: What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it.
Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
@BattlePikeQueerLucy can't see how ur sexual life and where u live are related to Linux :P in terms of coding on terminal yea some ppl do that becaz it's good knowledge, the linux terminal can control pretty much every aspect of ur system and u can get things done much faster with so it's good knowledge but u don't have to learn it.
@BattlePikeQueerLucy hahaha.. idiot.. hardly anyone can work with computers today.. so everyone is a Nerd.. -_- Whats about Mac? are mac guys all arrogant? are they all hiphoppers? only because some geeks are like your discribtion you mean everyone is so.. fuckin rassist!

Normal people use computers as a tool to get work done, nerds use it as a fully time hobby.
Used Ubuntu since it started. I wouldnt use Winders again - 'tho W7 is not that bad. The Linux downside was the very steep and frustrating learning curve where community helpers seemed to speak a totally different language. I'm learning to code now.
Most people just want their system to work and are not IT professionals (and have families and other jobs and professions to think about).
Ubuntu is now more user friendly than ever but it's been a haul! I'd even recommend it to my dad who is 87!
@mozgren I USED To be a Windows OS user, But Linux is more of a Challenge to me as a computer user.Just like you, I HATED IT at first But i gave it a chance & all the while, Linux was actually TEACHING ME on how to solve complex problems like finding a patch to make an Application work, asks Google or YouTube the much needed information. There are answers out there for EVERY problem computer-wise or Life-situations...you just have to look closely and ask the right questions & there'll be answers
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think one advantage of linux is that having many distros based off linux is that since many of the distros are designed differently like arch and ubuntu for example, that it would be harder for a virus to affect both if one of them is built differently like ubuntu compared to arch if is not related to the kernel itself.
@enderossel - please check your facts. It is LEGAL to copy, sell, or give away most Linux distributions. Notice I did not say ALL linux software, some linux software is propretary and you cannot freely distribute that particular software. I refer you to the GPL license which governs most Linux software (not ALL linux software).
@scimath42 - I agree with your facts but the term "Linux" has become the defacto label for the GNU/Linux operating system despite RMS's demands.
Linux is made for VERY SMART computer users. The same applies when you use Mac OS-X for both use the very same UNIX code, so it's safe to say that Linux and Mac are First cousins.

Good for you @Evaldas Friend! You are correct when you said that Open Sources sometimes DOES NOT Work, Well depending also on WHAT KIND of Linux Distribution you are using. But that's the real beauty of of it, finding solutions is a Integral part of being a Linux OS user: Linux REQUIRES You as the user to have a Extremely High Learning Curve, meaning that you have to find the answers someway somehow w/c makes you MORE intelligent! Unlike MS Windows OS Users....
MS Windows users are pretty much Lazy,Spoiled bunch that they want everything done for them w/o finding solutions to complex computer problems. Most Windows users use computers for basic things: emailing, Surfing the web, Internet shopping, paying bills on line and watching Porn. Linux users on the other hand, Use Linux for designing websites, Finding solutions to stabilizing computers in general and some...HACKING Windows users and spamming them!!! XD
kk first thing: linux is not an os its a kernel just like darwin or mach, linux is absolutly useless unless its bundled in with all of the other software nessecairy to run a desktop environment or even a command line environment.
I'm a mac user and I'm not saying linux sucks because I use it each day on my PCs. I'm just correcting you :)
Do you lose windows when you download Linux? I plan of switching, asap, but if I fail, or make a mistake, do I have a safety net of sorts? Linux seems much more personal, but Windows 7 Premium is going to be expensive to replace.
@cpmc1 U can dual boot both linux and windows on the same machine, but yes u could lose windows if you screw it up. If your new to linux i suggest install virtualbox and try it out in that first
@ox141jf Linux is coming up quick in hardware driver support. More companies are starting to include Linux support for their hardware and even in special cases dedicating to it. There is hope for Linux as a desktop system but forever will it be a reliable server OS. Hang in there.
THE ONE REASON THAT ERADICATES THE USE OF LINUX FOR ANY SERIOUS USER?
DRIVERS LINUX HAS DRIVERS TO MAKE THINGS WORK, BUT IT HAS FEW AND THE DRIVERS IT HAS OFTEN DON'T WORK PROPERLY OR ARE INEFFICIENT AND SO YOUR HARDWARE MAY BE RENDERED USELESS AND BECAUSE OF THIS, IT MEANS:
no games because 1 they aren't made for linux but 2 you wont have the gfx drivers to run it.
2 Few popular software title because they just aren't made for linux 3 if something does go wrong a solution is hard to find
@Mboy311 I run Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux. Of the 3 Linux is by far the most stable followed by XP then 7. Since I bought my newest laptop Windows 7 has crashed 3 times during updates. XP on my desktop has been running on the original install for over 3 years although I have had to repair it after a couple updates. Only had one crash with Linus in over a year of using it and that was my fault for doing something I didn't yet understand. Never boot into a GUI as root.
im a fedora 14 user and will stay that way for quite some time.. but again more facts make for better videos linux as a kernel is amazing and most distributions are great as well.. before i got into linux (i came from mac os x by the way) i researched a ton before i even touched linux (including command line stuff) and videos like this would probably do damage in making the decision to make the switch
and another thing quit trying to generalize every linux distribution as if they're all the same because for the most part they can be very different.. different amounts of knowledge that is needed to use them example ubuntu, mint and opensuse require very little but on the other hand arch, gentoo and/or slackware are more for advanced/power users..
this is a terrible video. if you want to convince people to "give linux a try" you should try and research some actual facts about its advantages and present them to non-linux users facts equal people wanting to use it..
90% of computer viruses are made for windows, 9.999% of computer viruses are made for mac0.001% of computer viruses are made for linux and I own the only known copy of said virus and it needs you to be VERY gullible for it to actually damage your computer
@goochbuntu Linus Torvalds said "gnome 3 is an unholy mess", and I agree. Linux is Linux is fragmented with to many things to choose , and this will be it's down fall . If all Linux programmers would pick just one way of doing thing , and work together to make a Linux that wasn't buggy than Linux would win. Linux programmer waist time making 100's of distributions when what they really need is to work together to make JUST ONE really great staible Linux distribution .
Just this afternoon, I backed up all of my documents, erased Windows 7, and installed Ubuntu Linux 11.10 (installed a workaround to use the former user interface instead of UNITY!), and I am already pleased.
The reason I did this is because I am getting a NEW PC for Christmas.
Of course you can sell Linux. It depends on the license agreement. The only requirement for Linux is usually have to make available source code for your customers. If they are paying for it, they obviously don't care about the source code. You may also have to have them "read" the licence agreement, or at least give them an opportunity to. Just make sure you do not sell an OS with software bundled that prohibit such activity.
Okay I have a question. I have like 100gb worth of pictures music and important things on my computer and vista on my computer is acting up and irritating me so If I install Linux will I loose every thing or can I keep it?
@psu4662 if you are going to install linux just back up the files 100gb is nothing. they sell 1tb external hard drives that plug in USB, even 500gb drives. Alternatively to installing full install over windows, you can install Ubuntu Linux along-side with Windows, and just boot into Linux instead of Windows. It will maintain all your files but it's sort of a messy way to do it.
It is ILLEGAL to sell? What for nonsense is that? Every read the GPL under which Linux is published? You can do anything with Linux including selling. But you have to provide the source code with it. If the presentation starts with this false statement, how should I account for the reliability of the rest of the presentation?
Let me clarify one thing, Unix based OS are incapable of getting viruses without user pemission (OSX, Linux) but the can get spyware, troyans, etc. And the few viruses for those were beaten and in fact were very weak.
Linux is Free because it Sucks - and I mean really Sucks Arse!
If you just must investigate the "Linux Experience" I suggest you attack electrodes to your testicles and plug the other end of the cord into the wall socket - and then you will know what installing and using Linux feels like!
On a serious note, you didn't give any reasons why he feel that way about linux. Maybe you tried it a long time ago when it was still new. I am not saying Linux is perfect, it's far from perfect but it's no where near as bad as the way you put it.
@minitrue101 I suggest you learn how to use it, or actually USE it. It's free, it's awesome, and it dominated Windows by a longshot in all of the performance tests. Having a backup OS, or another OS for that matter, can help you SO much in clearing Windows viruses. It may be more complicated, but, it's definitely worth it.
I wouldn't ever replace Windows with Linux, for educational reasons, but, I have more runtime on Ubuntu than Windows now.
@minitrue101 have you ever used any linux distros? linux is for thinkers (read: people with higher IQ) and windows is for point-and-klick'ers (MS makes decision for you and it shows your smaller IQ). and think about all the gadgets in your home (unless you live in the cave or cage) even your android-phone is based on linux-kernel.
@DubMFstepify Nah. There are means of gauging intelligence independent of computer skills. Some people prefer to just stick with the tried n' true because they have other priorities.
@DaCrazyCousinzzzz It looks like it was a failed project, and never came to fruition. You are right in saying it was out of a fiction book. so I read that some nerds tried to make it an actual Distro :-)
@V8Fiero2M8 I think you no nothing about Linux and i know deep in your mind that you don't have any experiences with Linux so just shut up..The way you say about Linux have tell it all..
@V8Fiero2M8 I think that i've said it clearly..you don't know anything about Linux..or maybe you're so noob and you don't know how to use it..how pitty..at least even my english is bad, i still manage to use it..it is you who must kiss my ass..shame on you..
@4werr0n3 Only audio and video files? You seem to be ignorant of everything else most Linux distros can do. Besides, I've never had to use the terminal on any of my Linux machines..
@4werr0n3 Oh, and - MS OSes are designed to make it difficult for users to install a new operating system on their hard disks. For example, Vista generally complains if you repartition the hard drive. This leads a newbie that is trying to double-boot Win and Linux, to think that Linux is broken - while actually it is Win.
@4werr0n3 That's the same reason for which Internet Explorer, which is so inferior to many other browsers, still holds more than 50% of the market share.
Users who do not know about Linux are sold PCs with Win preinstalled, and other M$ crap software preinstalled on it.
See also "BrowserChoice.eu" on the English Wikipedia.
who gives a flying f*** how long it takes to install the os when it's installed it's done nothing else i don't care how long it takes to install it can take a week i am only going to install it once in at least 2 or 3 years
I thought the next to no viruses on linux was kind of like the bro code. Most of us are computer enthusiasts or hackers or programmers and it's just uncool to hack or infect your friends.
"You can't sell it" - Wrong. As long as you make changes to the code and ship the code to the person you sell it too and give them the right to change or distribute it under the same terms (this is the GPL)
i've watched a few videos on why linux is so great and not one is convincing enough to get me to use linux. The only legit argument i can seem to find is that its more customizable. Sorry linux i think imma stick with ur older brother osx unless you can find a way to convince me otherwise.
i might not know lots bout comps so i just wanna ask somthin can you play games like battlefield bad comp 2 and like cod or half life 2 and gmod if you download linux on a macontosh? plz reply.
virus? Extinct? you mean rare. Why? not because its free....oh no! because hackers do not want to waste time on an os very few people use. if everyone started using linux then people would go around making viruses for that as well. God forbid my windows didnt come with an email client, clock and a calendar. having an awsome gui isnt the reason why an os is popular, its convinience, and that is why more people use maintream os. There will never come a day when linux will take over mainstream os.
great video, I agree with everything accept not being able to make money out of Linux,if the provider sticks to just open source binaries then it's harder but as far as I know on a Linux distro you can also add non open source binaries which might make you be able to sell it, although I don't agree with non open source binaries.(correct me if I'm wrong there please)
Appart from that companies like Red hat, Canonical... have other ways of raising money like server support packages.
Goddamit... You can sell Linux, people don't make viruses for Linux not because it's free but because its market share is too small to bother with, Linux does not come ready out of the box (most of the distributions do not come with popular codecs), and Microsoft does not offer paid PC repair services!!!

@ox141jf Linux is coming up quick in hardware driver support. More companies are starting to include Linux support for their hardware and even in special cases dedicating to it. There is hope for Linux as a desktop system but forever will it be a reliable server OS. Hang in there.

THE ONE REASON THAT ERADICATES THE USE OF LINUX FOR ANY SERIOUS USER?
DRIVERS LINUX HAS DRIVERS TO MAKE THINGS WORK, BUT IT HAS FEW AND THE DRIVERS IT HAS OFTEN DON'T WORK PROPERLY OR ARE INEFFICIENT AND SO YOUR HARDWARE MAY BE RENDERED USELESS AND BECAUSE OF THIS, IT MEANS:
no games because 1 they aren't made for linux but 2 you wont have the gfx drivers to run it.
2 Few popular software title because they just aren't made for linux 3 if something does go wrong a solution is hard to find

@Mboy311 I run Windows XP, Windows 7, and Linux. Of the 3 Linux is by far the most stable followed by XP then 7. Since I bought my newest laptop Windows 7 has crashed 3 times during updates. XP on my desktop has been running on the original install for over 3 years although I have had to repair it after a couple updates. Only had one crash with Linus in over a year of using it and that was my fault for doing something I didn't yet understand. Never boot into a GUI as root.

im a fedora 14 user and will stay that way for quite some time.. but again more facts make for better videos linux as a kernel is amazing and most distributions are great as well.. before i got into linux (i came from mac os x by the way) i researched a ton before i even touched linux (including command line stuff) and videos like this would probably do damage in making the decision to make the switch

and another thing quit trying to generalize every linux distribution as if they're all the same because for the most part they can be very different.. different amounts of knowledge that is needed to use them example ubuntu, mint and opensuse require very little but on the other hand arch, gentoo and/or slackware are more for advanced/power users..

@goochbuntu Linus Torvalds said "gnome 3 is an unholy mess", and I agree. Linux is Linux is fragmented with to many things to choose , and this will be it's down fall . If all Linux programmers would pick just one way of doing thing , and work together to make a Linux that wasn't buggy than Linux would win. Linux programmer waist time making 100's of distributions when what they really need is to work together to make JUST ONE really great staible Linux distribution .

Just this afternoon, I backed up all of my documents, erased Windows 7, and installed Ubuntu Linux 11.10 (installed a workaround to use the former user interface instead of UNITY!), and I am already pleased.
The reason I did this is because I am getting a NEW PC for Christmas.

Of course you can sell Linux. It depends on the license agreement. The only requirement for Linux is usually have to make available source code for your customers. If they are paying for it, they obviously don't care about the source code. You may also have to have them "read" the licence agreement, or at least give them an opportunity to. Just make sure you do not sell an OS with software bundled that prohibit such activity.

@psu4662 if you are going to install linux just back up the files 100gb is nothing. they sell 1tb external hard drives that plug in USB, even 500gb drives. Alternatively to installing full install over windows, you can install Ubuntu Linux along-side with Windows, and just boot into Linux instead of Windows. It will maintain all your files but it's sort of a messy way to do it.

It is ILLEGAL to sell? What for nonsense is that? Every read the GPL under which Linux is published? You can do anything with Linux including selling. But you have to provide the source code with it.

@minitrue101 I suggest you learn how to use it, or actually USE it. It's free, it's awesome, and it dominated Windows by a longshot in all of the performance tests. Having a backup OS, or another OS for that matter, can help you SO much in clearing Windows viruses. It may be more complicated, but, it's definitely worth it.
I wouldn't ever replace Windows with Linux, for educational reasons, but, I have more runtime on Ubuntu than Windows now.

Appart from that companies like Red hat, Canonical... have other ways of raising money like server support packages.
