@@phokeydhoo8940 So you're just like everyone else then that's missing the one thing they need for work. Because that's actually what people use computers for generally.

Regardless, in my IT consulting experience I've works for almost every industry out there and this has demonstrated to me conclusively that Linux *cannot* become the primary desktop platform, simply due to application support, every industry has their thing. For it to become dominant on the desktop, it needs 100% or better windows support. The linux community is still fighting the battles it already lost in the early 2000's. Since then the whole paradigm has shifted. There isn't even the casual pc user any more, the "grandma that only needs a web browser", mostly doesn't exist, that's all cellphones and tablets, which linux doesn't even have an answer for. Everyone else are business users that have hard requirements on windows dependent applications. Linux desktop usage doubled over the last few years thanks to steam/proton/wine.

From my personal experience of using Linux for 2 years and watching a bunch of videos where people show off their own experiences, I've come to the following conclusion: 1. Switching to a different operating system, no matter Windows, MacOS, Linux, it's never gonna be a smooth transition unless you are as lucky as me who plays 2 or 3 video games, listens to music, and use a web browser. 2. Trying to use proprietary software or hardware on Linux scarcely works. Avoiding them at all costs is the best solution. 3. More often than not, using Linux "the hard way" will work better than trying to use Linux "the easy way" (i.e. exclusively using terminal applications), albeit with some compromises. My experience with Linux has been a ride between frustration and fun. One the one hand, it completely changed the way I use my computer and how I look at technology in general, on the other hand, there are still some serious issues with using Linux, which I was relatively able to avoid. Though I still love using Linux more than I ever enjoyed using Windows. I actually found your channel because of Part 1, which I really enjoyed watching, but it also taught me a bit about other people's experience using Linux. Part 2 had the same effect to me, and I appreciate how you documented your experience using Linux in such a structured and impeccable manner. Amazing video!

I've had pretty much zero issues with Linux as a daily driver. Games work fine, hardware has worked fine (external hdds, audio interfaces, BT devices, USB network adapters...). Stil have half my rigs to move from Windows 10 to Linux (probably Nobara), one being my main gaming rig which I'm also rebuilding at the same time. I'm not even a pro at Linux, I've managed hosting servers, but never really knew what I was actually doing back then, and I've tried Linux distros (mostly Ubuntu variants) every few years without luck, but Pop!OS was the first that actually worked and worked well. I couldn't break it no matter what I did. I even upgraded from Pulseaudio to Pipewire and nothing broke. On Nobara, I went from 38 with GNOME to 39 with KDE by upgrading my existing install and nothing broke in that either.

The "tearing" issue with i3 when resizing windows has nothing to do with actual tearing. You're simply seeing the lag time from between when i3 wants to resize a window, and when the window actually resizes. Wayland tiling window managers like sway implement something called transactions that essentially wait for the window to resize, before presenting the users with the updated screen. It's a really neat feature. I don't know how well Nvidia works on sway.

I think this stems from my hardware being quite old with most of it being 5 years old at least now, so I have had none of the compatibility issues you had to face. Diving into tiling window managers is a huge rabbit hole from my experience taking an unreasonable amount of time and energy to get things working like it should out of the box so I just stick to GNOME these days.

Liva, your experience and feedback is absolutely invaluable. It reminds me of a few years ago when Linus and Luke tried using Linux and in the first day Linus tried to uninstall steam and borked his whole set up - that shouldn't happen and (I can't remember who it was) the distro maintainers quickly fixed the issue, made it easier to do the right thing when removing steam or w/e. When a person like you, very curious, technical, etc., tries as hard as you did and puts in as much effort as you did, the issues you lamp-shade stick like a sore thumb. I say all of this as a Linux user of MANY years. I don't have any of the issues you do, and wouldn't know about them if not for this video. I'm not a programmer, I'm not a video maker (editor, content creator, nothing of the sort), my workflow and opinions are very different than yours (like how I personally like KDE [but with a completely original set up, just the way I like it]) and have different hardware (AMD graphics card, external audio interface, etc) sometimes that I've bought specifically because of Linux support (like the audio interface, I was on the market looking for one, and in the process of choosing I went for a "safe" bet in terms of linux support) - so none of that matters (what I mean is that my personal experience doesn't matter to you, your workflow, the work you do, the experience you had). I know this is not a video of you asking for suggestions or help. I will leave a couple anyways :) 1. I think you would like the workflow of the so called Material Shell - it is built on top of GNOME but marries tiling with floating wonderfully. I don't use it tho (kde, yadda yadda) 2. System76 is trying to have a harmonious set up of tiling and floating as well, making their own DE (most likely it will be unsuitable for you, as it will be brand new) but it isn't out, so I shouldn't even bring it up. 3. OpenSUSE exists. You have dabbled in ubuntu and looked into mint, used pop, etc., now fedora, rocky, nobara. If you choose to stay in the mainstream OpenSUSE is next, and as an OpenSUSE Tumbleweed user, if you were to ever use it, I'd be glued to the screen to see what you thought of it. If you go towards niche then you are probably use Arch or NixOS or Fedora Silverblue etc., things that are more niche but at the same time more popular (in regards to: have people talking about it) nonetheless. Lastly, I'll echo something I said earlier this year when craft computing tried and also failed to switch to linux (failed is a strong word, Linux failed him - it wasn't his fault, it was Linux's fault); you COULD light up the bat-signal and create a linux council of fans of yours who would then look into and help you troubleshoot the issues you have. It would probably work. It is an absolute shame that this is "needed". If a person like you, who is more technical than me, more patient than me, more curious than me, has to have someone like me around just because of my experience, Linux on the Desktop is a failed platform (for your specific usecase/hardware etc). Anyway. If you were to ask me (personally) before attempting on your own, I'd probably tell you that Linux is not good for what you need to do. It was cool that you tried though, so that would have been a loss. Then the second thing is - I think it is better for you to set up Looking Glass for GPU-passthrough. So as soon as something gets in the way of you doing your work, you can just open a window into Windows and rest assured it will all work. I do it (with some Rx 460 from the thrash) for both Windows and Mac when I need it. It can be a bitch to set up, though.

I'll also use this opportunity to mention my current distro of choice (for 2 years, after maining Linux for 6 years), Garuda Linux. This is a relatively obscure layer distro built on top of Arch Linux, which among other things configures OpenSUSE's Snapper out of the box. But it uses the more common and in my experience better Calamares installer, along with making many deeper tweaks that do not seem to affect system stability but which I like a lot. Though it comes with it's own issues, for starters the default theme is HIDEOUS, Chaotic-AUR often has broken packages, requiring a manual AUR build anyway and the default FISH shell messes with Flatpak and many tutorial instructions. And the elephant in the room, it's a even to Linux standards obscure distro which tries to deliver a opinionated base experience with KDE Plasma (in the flagship dr460nised edition). But I do agree with the recommendations I have seen in the comments here on giving Arch Linux (based distros) a try. Except for Manjaro though, while they haven't messed up significantly recently they have a bad track record and do not deliver on the supposed increased stability. Either installing base Arch from scratch or even tweaking EndeavourOS or Garuda Linux also would make for an interesting video.

@@Livakivi OpenSUSE has a few distributions. SUSE is like european Red Hat, OpenSUSE Leap would be like Rocky/AlmaLinux. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed would be like our Fedora/Rawhide, it is rolling-release so there are no numbered versions, but every update is thoroughly tested before being pushed. Aeon is like our Silverblue (no update will ever break your system, but you depend on flatpak). OBS/Factory is like COPR. But really everything is different in opensuse - so think of the comparisons as just that, a bit of explanation and not necessarily truly equivalent distros. I used it for the first time in 2012 or so because "one click installs" sounded interesting, but it didn't hold me then. Many years later I was fed-up with Fedora, Ubuntu (and derivatives) and Arch, I had used Solus but it was in a bad spot... So that left me opensuse to try. Turns out everything (that I need, with my hardware, etc) just worked, so I stayed. I don't see anything elsewhere that I'd want and don't have with opensuse. We don't have as much software as in the AUR or Nix, so there's that, but I can't remember the last time I wanted to get something and there wasn't a solution for Tumbleweed. So idk, I just... use my computer now.

It has been a shock for me how many problems you encountered no matter the distro and de. Neither my PC (rx480 before, now 6800xt) nor laptop (with a 1650) have given me any problems on arch with Gnome. You didn't mention gaming in your use cases, so might I suggest using the amd igpu for rendering with Wayland(there isn't a better linux experience than amd on Wayland in terms of smoothness and things just working) and using the 4090 just as an accelerator card for video editing? It isn't a perfect solution and it would probably limit the max refresh rate of your monitor, but seeing these visual anomalies and lack of stability has made me rethink should I recommend linux to friends.

It seems to be an issue with other distros using older drivers and packages. Since linux development has accelerated in the last few years so you really do need the newest packages. Distros with older packages are no longer worth it. If you want the most stable experience, use Arch or EndeavourOs honestly. Thats what I would recommend. Perhaps other distros will catch up in a few years but for now they are unusuable.

@@AndRei-yc3ti Arch has been great and the AUR combined with the wiki is a god sent. Even on the 1650 in my laptop Wayland works like a charm. It's a shame people are scared of arch (most of them are also scared of the terminal, but that is a whole other rat nest). As long as you use archinstall it is just as easy to install as Ubuntu or Fedora. Its UI is a bit bare, but I mean an installer is meant to be useful, not pretty. I haven't used endeverOS, but as an arch base distro that isn't Manjaro it also looks like a solid option.

i3 was also my first tiling window manager and while it does work great, I find Hyprland comes with a lot of stuff preconfigured or even working better, e.g. compositing, rounded corners and animations. I suggest trying out both Sway or SwayFX (basically Wayland i3) and Hyprland, since Sway uses OpenGL as a backend and Hyprland uses Vulkan afaik. At least that's what I think because the RPi 4's VideoCore IV GPU only supports OpenGL and Sway works flawlessly, whereas Hyprland ran like it renders on the CPU. Also the distro you use can really make a difference, mostly because of the Kernel it ships with. I guess you could try Manjaro, unless you want to go for Arch directly. I would've said try Fedora, but you already did and it seems they've changed a lot about it that just gets in the way.

Honestly, the problem is that .. many linux distributions just do not play nicely whatsoever with software companies. They are fractured in terms of actual support and require dealing with a minimal of at least 3 different major groups (each with their own nightmare fuel) before you even get to the GPU/System/vender drivers. You have endless bike shedding and constant bickering about 'standards' that literally only apply to one fraction of a distribution, so called window managers. Then you've got the package mangers on top of each separate distribution having it's own standards of what is and is not acceptable to be added via packages. Then you have the overall Group mind of each one pushing what is and is not default for each distribution. So, it's genuinely less that developers don't prioritize Linux, and more that Linux is a hell scape of fractured standards that have multiple types of major components. That as said, even the back end wiring is getting shaken apart and barely pulling it self to gether. The difference with Windows.. There is 1 Explorer, that uses 1 set of APIs, that makes standardized calls to known components, with set methods to draw windows, icons, access Hardware, store system configurations, and even when someone dares to 'replace Explorer.exe' as a windows manager, the replacement respects and honors the native calls without complicating other programs that use the proper windows methods. The Major difference, is that when windows updates (assuming it's a normal process) Major software venders know well ahead of time of any critical changes that would break software, and can plan well ahead of time. That windows Major shifts in its software libraries do not change much without hitting version updates that shift windows feature sets. We can all say .. oh windows updated on me... or that it won't let me turn it off.. but ... MS isn't to blame for that. The users who failed to update security, who blamed MS for viruses when they never updated, when they never even attempted to use the system properly, the users who shot their own foot are the ones to blame for the forced updates. Though I will say, windows through all it's faults and updates has never broken a program I rely on with an update. Linux .. has, and it's not uncommon nor a noob trap for it to happen on Linux distros.

Hopefully in the future Linux won't be so prone to breaking like it has for you. There is growing interest in "immutable" or "atomic" Linux distros. These distros promise to be more reliable in the way they handle upgrades. And if anything does go wrong, they let you roll back to the previous version. As for Davinci Resolve, hopefully one day it will be available as a flatpak or similar distro-agnostic package so that it works regardless of which distro and version of distro you are running. Your experience with Xorg/X11 validates my feelings on the Xorg vs Wayland debate. People often say that Wayland shouldn't replace Xorg until it's ready or feature complete, but not realize just how broken Xorg can be in some configurations. I would have given up on Linux if I didn't find Wayland; my system felt so slow and laggy due to my mixed-refresh rate monitors.

Solid video and analyses. I have had more windows related issues than on linux from my side, but albeit every time I try ubuntu/ubuntu based distros and even fedora I've always had a lot more issues than Arch/Endeavour or the current one I use CachyOS, the latter seems extremely efficient to all tasks, even davinci didn't trigger random hang/freeze. However I think the real issue with Linux is inconsistencies in the distros, with some distros which I tested I have had really breaking problems which drag the experience down, while other distros were exceptionally good. This doesn't look good to a newcomer that would just prefer a plug n play scenario, though with each windows update my system would get slower and I've also had a lot of crazy oddities there too, with random BSOD on perfectly functional hw. In the end people should use the right tool for the job at hand, so it's best to use what works best for you :)

1. DKMS and Kernel-headers are needed when you install Linux on a PC with Nvidia graphics card. DKMS re-installs the graphics driver when the kernel is updated to a newer version. This is not an issue with AMD graphics cards because the drivers are part of the Kernel. 2. KDE is better than Gnome when having multiple monitors. 3. You are using rolling releases and/or forks of distros so you can expect issues. Ubuntu is a fork of Debian and Nobara is a fork of Fedora and Fedora is a rolling release. Debian or openSUSE Leap are better choices if you want a stable system.

This summs up A LOT of what I experienced trying Linux since 2016. Was never able to fully switch, I can try and choose my hardware to fit it (tough I never did), but I can't change what I do. A lot got better: mainly gaming and maybe stability. I'm only about q third of the video and the only mentioned issue that I did not experience was crackling microphone. In 2021 I got a mate book 14s, love the machine, only thing better for the money would maybe be a mate book 16. But fedora simply won't get the TouchPad and sound to work, under Ubuntu most things work fine, so I'm using it as a secondary os for now. But from time to time I run into issues, and because I'm dual booting the waste of space of having a flatpak, snap and native version of dependencies really bothers me. TouchPad scrolling and acceleration is also not as great on Linux, but it's usable. Really wish I could just simply switch, but there is a lot to still learn, and many small issues to solve.

This was an incredibly well executed and researched video. I'm sorry you had so many issues but as you clearly ran into and figured out, using new Nvidia hardware (or any Nvidia hardware at all) can be a nightmare. I think you made the right call going for Fedora based distros to get newer packages (even if Arch would have been better btw) but as you said I think Nvidia only really got close to good to use after the 555 driver under Wayland. I hope you come back and give it another go in a year or so's time and at that point I would recommend switching to Sway (a supposedly drop in replacement for i3) or one of the other Wayland tiling WMs such as River or Hyprland. I would definitely stick to Wayland though if you can. It doesn't fix everything and definitely has it's own pros and cons, but in general I think it makes more things better than it makes worse - especially if you don't want to spend lots of time tinkering to fully resolve screen tearing etc. I'm glad you could see some of the benefits that Linux offers - even if we're a **long** way off making it a painless process to actually setup and use.

Intell has good, in-tree drivers that just work, Wayland and pipewire solved every audio/video issue I could imagine and outside of the occasional gnome extension breaking when updating to a new major release, I have basically nothing to complain about. Also, 90& of the Nvidia issues on hyprland have been fixed already, install arch, install dkms Nvidia drivers, disable hardware cursors, and it's basically flawless. Give it a shot. Arch should also fix a lot of your other issues as Arch often gets fixes faster than most other distros (sometimes literally years faster!). For somebody capable of configuring i3 from scratch, the installation should be just a formality.

The tiling manager Hyprland does work pretty well with NVIDIA drivers nowadays, at least the cutting edge drivers 558.28 is very stable and useable.

I've been using linux for almost 10 years now, and watching this is interesting as it shows just how bad this OS is for even slightly different usecases. I always kind of doubted the naysayers as I use my PC for learning Japanese, word processing, device management, and internet browsing, but it seems like just the need to do more intensive tasks requiring certain devices destroys the whole thing. Debian stable and a ThinkPad probably isn't what everyone will find suficient. Kind of crazy how it still has such problems.

Every time I start feeling like "okay Windows, THAT was the last straw" I come to youtube and watch someone's Linux challenge and end up saving myself a lot of work.
