As mentioned in the previous video, what we commonly call "Linux" owes a lot to Richard Stallman's GNU project. This video covers the GNU project:

This isn't exactly about Linux, but it comes from a video highly critical of Windows 11.



One of the parts I liked most was the comment on his mug:

Rob Braxman produced a video on 6 common problems found when switching from Windows to Linux:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5qDCIn9yYQ



Here are the issues he covers:

1. Hardware Compatibility
2. You Have to Use a Terminal
3. Apps and App Installation
4. UI Differences and Structure
5. Gaming
6. Getting Help


As you'll find from the video, most of these problems are not problems any more.
