 The Linux community has a big problem and that problem seems to be that there's a small portion of the community and I'm talking just a few people that seem to think that if you criticize Linux your anti Linux and They seem to have this idea that Linux is perfect and that there are no flaws And if you point out the flaws or if you say something that's against Linux in some way that you're just you're not Worthy of using Linux or something. I don't know. It's a dumb argument and I'm pretty sure that we've all come across these people There's these people. They just think that Linux is this Fantastic operating system that never has anything wrong with it. And if you experience problems It's you that caused it not Linux itself And I will be the first to say that there are user-caused errors in Linux There's user-caused errors in every operating system. Everybody makes mistakes There's not a single perfect person out there And there's no one out there who can say that they've had a flawless computing experience their entire lives Everyone's had a problem no matter what operating system you're using because there's not a perfect operating system and Whether the errors that you experience are because of something that you did or because of something that came through because of an update or whatever Your operating system experience is at some point along the line going to experience a hiccup It's just going to happen. It's the nature of the universe shit happens The problem is is that there's a small number of people in the Linux community that don't think this way They think that if you point out something that is Flawed in Linux or that you think is flawed in Linux. That's your anti-linux. That's your Not someone who is interested in promoting Linux, but are only interested in tearing it down and I hate these people I don't like them at all. I think that they should be silent because they're dumb. I don't It's the stupidest argument I've ever heard to say my operating system is perfect And if you criticize it You're anti my operating system. I mean first of all who cares right? It's just it's a fucking operating system Get over yourself. It's all right. You know just calm down go get laid or something. I don't I mean seriously I don't know what these I mean There's a stereotype of of the the standard Linux user being in his mother's basement Typing away in a terminal, you know, and and there's a reason why that stereotype exists And it's because of those people right now Let's just pause for a minute there like I'm a Linux fanboy Okay, I use Linux on every single computer I have that's mine In fact in my entire household There's only one that uses windows and that's just because that person won't switch to Linux I try every single time and I just want them to switch to Linux, but they won't do it. I I've tried Right, so I'm a big Linux fanboy. I will be the first to tell you I think Everyone should use Linux if at least one time, you know, maybe it's not for them They'll go back to windows, but everybody should at least try it and so I can't throw Brocks at glass windows or whatever the hell the Frank the phrase is and say that I've never been ra ra go Linux You know, I'm I can be that way like I've made a video says five reasons why windows sucks and why you should use Linux instead, you know That's typical Linux fanboy topics for youtube videos. It's there, right? but I'm also I feel That I'm the type of person that can be at least somewhat objective about Linux and I hope that I can spread that to some other people because Linux isn't perfect, right? I have so many problems with Linux Like it seems like a wig doesn't go by where something doesn't go wrong. Whether it's minor or big, you know Most of the time they're minor problems. Then, you know, you work around them like obs fucks up You know, it happens once a week if not more often, you know Sometimes pulse audio will just for whatever random reason switch the default audio input And I'll do a whole video and it won't have recorded from this microphone But it'll instead record from the crappy microphone on my webcam I won't notice it until I'm done with the video and actually have to go back and redo the whole thing Pulse audio sucks. We know that I mean pulse audio sucks when it's bad, but when it's working, it works fine, you know And but the problem is it's not consistent all the time, right and pointing that out, you know I don't think it's a bad thing. I mean, we know that audio on Linux has its problems Especially for new users, if you don't know how to go in and set up the audio stuff on Linux You're gonna have a bad time, especially if you use hardware That is meant to be used with windows, you know, sometimes that hardware doesn't work well with Linux Sometimes it does. It's kind of inconsistent and that can lead to a poor experience But and pointing that out doesn't mean that I'm a windows fanboy It just means that I think that Linux has some flaws when it comes to audio Bluetooth audio also is horrible. Now, I will also admit that bluetooth is kind of horrible on windows too It has problems the standard itself has problems. That's not really a linux problem But it is something that you experience when you use a new operating system You know, it just some kind sometimes kind of sucks Yesterday I made a video about search I created a title and a thumbnail that was inflammatory To get views. It's a I don't know if you know this but that's something that happens on youtube The algorithm rewards that kind of behavior And I want people to watch my videos. So I create thumbnails and titles that Have the chance to piss people off and or inspire people to click on the video and I don't personally think that linux has a search problem I really don't but I phrased it in such a way that I kind of thought it did The the search thing It's fragmented if you want to find a file you can do it It's just you got to use a certain tool sometimes in order to do it And there are certain tools that I haven't tried like fd and fzf Those are tools that I haven't actually had a chance to look at yet and those apparently are way better but sometimes The topic of the video pisses people off and that's kind of what inspired this video is that When you criticize linux When you point out its flaws or flaws that you think or have at least experienced even if other people have an experience So you're going to have some people that come out of the woodwork and criticize you for having Experienced that flaw and this is what gives the linux community a bad name Because when new users come in and experience these things because there are they are going to experience flaws with linux it's a not a perfect operating system and They go to get help and they come across the person who says well, this isn't a flaw. This is you being an idiot that's not A grand experience for new users. It's going to drive them back to windows And I'm not saying that the windows community if there can be said to be a windows community is any better I'm not saying that because it's obviously going to have its fanboys as well It's just the nature of a community if you have a community There's always going to be a portion of it that are assholes And I think that's the whole point of this video is to stop being an asshole okay if you're one of those people who Don't like that like it when linux is criticized first of all unsubscribe from this channel. Okay, just seriously I appreciate you petting the red button if you if you were here Uh for a while, but if you don't like it when people criticize linux Just go find someone else to subscribe to because i'm going to continue To criticize linux all the time and it's because I love linux. I love it so much I would marry it right that's and that's dumb, but I like I use linux all the time It's my number one daily driver. I don't have a single windows computer Around me except for the one that goes for that one person that wants which linux. That's literally it and I love window managers. I love working in the terminal You can't ever save head. I don't like linux and I think that that's the you can't love you Loving something and using it and have been proud of it and all this stuff Doesn't mean you shouldn't criticize it. In fact, you should probably criticize it more You should you should be able to point out its flaws because you want to help make it better Now i'm not a developer if I was a developer or a programmer on any of those things I could focus my effort in going into the code and fixing some of the flaws that I you know point out I don't have those kind of skills and while i'm trying to learn like some python and stuff like that I don't think that i'll ever Be confident enough to go into a get Get repository or and fix a flaw in a in an open source Project or something or or go into the linux kernel mailing list and and help out there I'm never going to be that kind of helper, but I enjoy Going through and working on documentation for certain projects. I like donating money to certain projects when I have the cash I've been learning bash and python so I can make scripts that make certain Processes better for me and hopefully for other people Those are the that's the way that I'm contributing And you wouldn't feel the need to contribute if you didn't think that there were things that could be improved And that's the whole thing like I want linux to get better, right? I think that we all want linux to get better and If you're one of those people who thinks that linux can't be criticized Do you not think linux could get better? I don't think that that's the truth. I think that even if you're one of those people who think that linux can't be criticized You've had linux problems. There are things in linux that you want to see improve get over it Get over yourself to the point get over your attitude That prevents you from allowing other people to criticize it just because you criticize something doesn't mean that you don't love it In fact, it probably means that you love and care about it more Because you means you want it to get better. You want it to improve and Keep approaching that perfection that some people in the linux community think that it already has Like I said, it was a ranty video and I just needed to get this off my chest Uh linux is awesome But it could be awesome or Not a word But it's not going to get that way if we can't point out the flaws So that is it for this video.
