I use linux and freebsd because I'm tech savvy.

I already use Linux Mint on my laptop, and once Windows 10 reaches end of life I’m fully switching over to Mint on my desktop computer. It is very easy to theme Linux Mint to look like Windows 7 or 10.

Noo, Linux can't replace windows 7. Windows 7 can only replace Windows 7

Hello: Excellent your video, it made me remember when, tired of Microsoft's abuses, I decided to take the step to Gnu Linux, specifically Linux Mint because of its resemblance to Windows. Some scopes: 1. Obviously Linux Mint does not behave the same as Windows, if it did, there would be no point in its existence. 2. With the Linux Mint 21.1 version it is not necessary to resort to the terminal. You can install everything you need from the Software Center. 3. Linux Mint is an "out of the box", that is to say, it comes with everything you need to start working right out of the box. 4. According to my experience it is better to use an AMD video card, as the Nvidia can give problems related to the drivers. However, if you have the second one, it is very easy to install the necessary drivers by following the instructions on the welcome screen. 5. It is true that, obviously, not all Windows programs can be installed on Linux Mint. However, there are several alternatives. In the case of Office, Libreoffice is more than enough for most users. 6. As for games, you can install several through Lutris, in a very simple way. One last remark. I have tried to go back to Windows, but its spyware, bloatware and aggressive and invasive advertising quickly bore me.

I love linux but I also love windows 7

The simple answer is no... Linux Mint cannot replace Windows 7. They're two totally different operating systems. Similarity in looks is ironically only skin deep. The real problems come when you try to actually do anything. And I've never understood the argument for stability with Linux... I haven't had any stability issues with Windows 7 in probably 10 years.

I dual booted Linux Mint with Windows 7. Using Mint for web browsing and other modern stuff and using 7 for retro gaming (Steam supports 7 until January 1st 2024). Both OS's are like both eyes to me and i'm not giving up on 7 yet.

Finally you did it, Thank You. Out with the Modern Windows and in with the Linux.

Nice video, linux mint can make anything live on forever! i wish you made a video about updates in windows 8.1 and app compatibility (tricking apps into thinking its running windows 10 1809, for things like steam) that would be awesome! been looking to use 8.1 since my pc supports it the best

Linux can't repalce windows, windows is a seperate OS based on other private source that doesn't function like unix based systems you can switch to linux but you will still feel that it isn't like windows and it can't give you the same feel that's why there are still many people that use windows xp and windows 7, it is because of the feel they love but the thing i love the most about linux is that it is so fast and can be used to make a dead old pc reusable again

Funny. My mate is a linux guru and I like to troll him all the time.

Home is called 'home' for a reason. It's the home folder of the current user and NOT your complete computer. A 'computer' icon can be added to the desktop at any time though.

did the same January 2020 when MS decided to stop supporting W7 and have never looked back . . .

Depends on your needs, I can do everything I want on linux so not a problem for me.

Many Thanks for this video. I have to switch from my beloved Win7 to a new OS because Steam fully stop support on that OS. I refuse to use Win10 for my reasons. I realy worried about Linux, I dont like and too lazy to learn a new system. However your video make me feel better about it. My only issue is the so different way its use folders and I still dont know how I migrate my database from windows. I readed several guide, but it feel so difficult. Also as you said we have to find alternatives for long used programs in Win7 not working in Linux. Gladly Steam have very good support with Proton to run their games on Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. 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.

I’ve loved using Linux off and on, it’ll never replace Windows/MacOS for the general public until it gets to the point that you don’t have to get into the guts of the thing with a terminal window. Your average user gets on a Linux support forum and just sees lines upon lines of incomprehensible gibberish compared to “click this, install that” on the big guys. The moment someone has to type sudo, you’ve lost 90% of the average computer users. Using terminal commands to install an app/program is where most users will, and imho, should check out. I get for power users like the type that watch this channel, terminal commands can be faster, you can be more sure your getting exactly what you want, etc, but the GUI has been around for 40 years now and using it to install a program shouldn’t be groundbreaking, and SNAP installs from software managers are… unreliable at best. Half the time I open Ubuntu’s software manager, it renders incorrectly like a webpage with bad CSS. Not bagging on Linux based OS’ mind you. Two raspberry pis run half my house, my pihole, WireGuard VPN, hell even my yard watering schedule is managed by one, and frankly Windows lacks a lot of that flexibility.

Can you make video about activate Windows Vista, 7 or 8 with chatGPT ? I saw other channel made a video with Windows 95, 10 and 11.

Please Make Some NT 3.51 Videos For Example Windows NT 3.51 on 1080p and how to install.

Linux is not Windows but in large part I have replaced Windows with Linux ( mostly Linux Mint but I have a few Pop OS machines too)

It's a learning curve with linux .If you use nvidia gpu you will need nvidia's proprietary drivers which can be installed via the terminal or if the distro ships with install nvidia drivers options during installation .Amd's drivers are open source so they come imbeded inside the kernel of linux so you don't really need to install drivers in this case .For gaming people reccomend proton that comes with Steam .I heard you can install programs with it too but people use it for gaming primaraly and wine for programs .Lutris is also used for gaming.Only downside is games with anticheat dont run .There is a chance even you to get banned for using linux cause the anticheat thinks you use 3rd party software and developers don't bother implementing anticheat for linux .There are games with anticheat that run on linux though Apex legends,halo infinite ,csgo and valve games i think run for example .Most single player games without online services run good on linux .You can check the games which you want to know how they run in protondb .Hope more devs will start using proton and wine .Steamdeck handheld kinda gave a push towards that direction .Btw edge also runs on linux 🤣 ,microsoft has a port for linux .I personally like kde plasma desktop enviroment more .It feels more at home and kinda more familiar to windows and it's more customizable i think .Tried to search how to make it look glassy/aero style like windows 7 .Not necesserely like windows 7 but the aero feel .

08:33 `sudo apt dist-upgrade` for also upgrading kernel also try pkexec instead of sudo for gui window

The thumbnail says it all about the security threat posed by Windows 7. Switch to whatever you want!

ur literally my comfort youtuber i love ur voice sm

For me once Windows 10 Reaches End of Life... :( I will use either Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Unity, Pop!_OS, Zorin OS, or KDE Neon I've used these Distros before but they aren't being used as my Main OS but you know what who knows I might just switch from Windows to Linux before the Windows 10 EOL I don't know yet... I have a 2nd Computer that I got from my school in the closet but it has no Hard Drive or SSD in it I will have to get an SSD for it eventually but as of right now I will have to continue using Windows 10 also I really really really really really Despise Windows 11 with a Passion!

WINE is only really good for basic software. For anything else, I would recommend using a Windows VM for older games and all your windows software.

Windows 7 was the best, but as a Ubuntu-Windows 11 user, Mint is similar to 7.

unexpected thing that worked A LOT better on linux (xorg, not tested on wayland) is screen recording on windows 7 I get 15(ish) fps (tested with bandicam, vlc) on linux I get 60 fps (tested with simple screen recorder, kazam, obs studio) I think screen recording sucks on windows not just for me because I see old low fps screen recorded videos by windows xp, 7 users on youtube and smooth (30fps maybe) videos from mac os

My answer is a clear NO. Why? Because I found that most Linux distros are difficult to use, and for gaming/editing they're not that great. This makes me proud of being Windows-only.

Simple answer: Depends what you need it for so either hell yeah or hell no

Undefeated security technique for now, Windows 10 install disk

Yes

Microsoft Office installs once you've installed WINE

The themes is matter

Can Linux Mint Replace Windows 7? Err NO,not unless it can run all Win7 applications and games.

Nah I don’t use Linux if you don’t have a problem with windows then is there really a reason plus I don’t want to gain a neckbeard and 300 pounds
