Reacting to LTT's 2026 Linux Challenge (part 1)! https://subscribeto.me/videos/watch/882a158c-b0a9-4a1b-9035-eaefb5a6285b In this video, I react to Linus Tech Tip's 2026 Linux Challenge. If you're not familiar, back in 2021, Linus and Luke tried to use Linux as their only Operating System for a month. Luke seemed to have an enjoyable experience. Linus did not. It was a fun and interesting series and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. Are you Team Mint, are you all-in on CachyOS, or Team "I use Arch btw"? Let me know in the comments!

Everyone using windows and Mac had that exact experience of buying their computer, installing Windows, and it worked.
And to be clear I personally do love how much I can tinker with Linux, but the point of LTT's video was to see what it's like for "normal" people. Most people don't want to tinker with their computer. They want it to work.

Once #ageverification becomes the law of the land, only the huge corporate-backed distros like #Fedora and #Ubuntu will be able to comply.

First of all installing an OS is foreign to 99% of the population, since the computer just comes with it. The same goes for even browsing the internet. I knew people in my own life that didn't realize you could put in URLs for websites, they always went to google to search, then click to go there:(

IMHO, and maybe not a popular opinion, but having a central landing page from the entire community, something like "switchtolinux.com" that has the most up to date suggestions for absolute noobs that also includes links to the ISOs would go a long way to promote adoption. One step farther would be a forum that could hold the hands of anyone trying to make the switch, no judgement, just help:)
