so one of the biggest questions I always
get asked is what's the best operating
system or you know what operating system
should I use and I it's a really hard
question to answer because in my opinion
operating system really doesn't matter
that much it just depends on what you're
doing and I'm going to show you the
three use cases I see why I use like a
Windows why I would use Linux why I
would use Mac OS because each one I I
think has their place in the computer
realm to many people I think always
think hey one operating system needs to
conquer all and that's just not how it
is in in real life you know so let's get
into all three as I'm certified in
Windows and have worked in Windows for
probably about twenty years now and when
it comes to Linux I've obviously made a
ton of Linux videos probably upwards of
two hundred fluidics videos in YouTube
and then Mac it's kind of like the the
final one I don't actually have a Mac
machine here to kind of do a showcase
run through but I'll kind of give you my
final thoughts on it as I do have a
couple certifications albeit older ones
going over Mac OS so let's talk about
these three operating systems and what
their use cases are for myself and maybe
you as well because it's really
interesting to see the evolution of many
of them so let's get into it so the
first one up here is gonna be Linux
obviously I've made the most YouTube
videos about Linux Linux is obviously my
daily driver but I really love Linux
once I got used to it
when I first did it you can watch my
first 30 days on Linux actually did it
on the channel when I did fold Linux
desktop I was very familiar with like
server and and more of the professional
scene of Linux but not really using it
as a daily driver like this so Linux
itself when you're flipping through I
have my
as a tiling window manager and you know
you can launch different now terminals
you can go into like let's say I want to
go over to my web browser and just hit
this up and say okay I want to watch all
these and go into this one launch that
you know you can do whatever you want in
here and it's very powerful once you get
used to it
but again a very sharp learning curve
probably the sharpest learning curve of
all three but probably the biggest pay
out of all three as well as I'm more
efficient in Linux now when I'm making
videos when I'm doing stuff heck the
other day I think I was talking to
someone and I was making a little
Windows video and it was it was a little
bit harder to make when it came to the
windows video because I was constantly
having a deal with like updates and
other things where the Linux experience
is just much more consistent but that's
not to say Linux is all roses I mean
it's is fantastic for making you know
playing music in the background while
editing a video and then you can go
ahead launch into this and if you have
just some you know older game that you
want to play you can go ahead and launch
into you know your Lutra sand launch
into that game and play it so it's
really good for base applications and a
majority of computer users could be
comfortable in Linux however it's
probably the most badly misunderstood of
all three and again a very sharp
learning curve but well worth it so if
you really want to go down this path go
through my whole Windows to Linux series
it's pretty applicable pretty much any
computer user and you'll be able to at
least get started in Linux but don't
anticipate a smooth transition it does
take time really it took me about two
months before I really became
comfortable in Linux in probably six
months before I was far more efficient
in Linux than other operating systems so
that was my journey let's flip over to
Windows and old windows this is what
I've spent most of my life in Windows 10
obviously is about five years old at
this time you notice most of my most
popular videos on this channel are over
deep loading windows making minimal
installs just making windows comfortable
Windows by itself is
kind of a weird operating system in the
fact that it has all of the market share
or a good majority of it I think it's
about 75 to 80 percent right now and it
doesn't have a really great experience
out of the box because it has a lot of
things running in the background so like
just a simple task manager here you can
kind of see about a hundred processes
this is on a deep bloated install that
doesn't have a whole lot of garbage in
it so this is me stripping down windows
to make it really functional so I could
use it for gaming because that's where
Windows really shines is gaming as it
has the most compatibility you can play
the most games on it and when you come
in into like Microsoft Office and some
office applications obviously when using
like office 365 you're gonna probably
want to be on a Windows machine but
that's not to say you should be so I'll
go into the the final one that's what
kind of Mac is starting to come into
play when it comes to just base office
users or maybe even novices that really
haven't had a lot of computer experience
but before we get to that I just kind of
want to say when it comes to Windows I
still use it I still use it on a weekly
basis to play certain games certain
things I do on Windows requires that
operating system so it's fine for that I
do miss a lot of my functionality from
Linux when I'm in Windows but I do like
the added compatibility with all the
programs so I already mentioned
Microsoft Office but also the Dobby
suite is where most people on the
Internet really have the most issues
with Windows so at Acrobat and premiere
and those types of things are what most
Windows users use when you're getting
past the gaming section but past that
that's really all I have to say about
Windows now the third and final one is
Mac OS and Mac OS has really gained a
lot of market share in the past couple
years as Windows 10 just doesn't have a
very good out-of-the-box experience and
a lot of people
can't take the time to learn Linux and
really can appreciate it so that's where
Mac OS kind of fills this gap for the
novus is out there or people that just
want their computer to work a certain
way but they don't really necessarily
want to learn how an operating system
works or how things function in an
operating system a lot of people have
chosen Mac mainly because you still get
the Adobe line and then also the
Microsoft Office line these are two big
product suites that Linux doesn't have
even though there are more noob friendly
distributions in the Linux realm when it
comes to Mac OS I think it's more
Universal most people can pick up a Mac
and do basic functions it's really kind
of surprising like when I'm remoting in
like out of this whole pandemic I've had
to remote into a ton of machines and
probably about a third of those machines
are Mac users when I'm talking about you
know just in users laptops and Mac I
treat kind of like Linux a lot of times
because I really don't like its
interface I don't like its workflow but
it's a very consistent experience that's
why people choose it because once you
learn the Mac experience it's not bad
it's not good but it's consistent that's
really where it shines where it's always
a certain thing it's a walled garden you
have your specific software suite and at
the end of the day it just simply works
and that's a big big deal so that's
where Mac kind of fills all this in I
like I said I don't particularly use it
because I really like Linux but then
again I don't use Microsoft Office that
much and I definitely don't use the
Adobe suite anymore so it just depends
on where you fit in as a user but all
three of them have their purposes I'm
not gonna say one is better than the
other because at the end of the day I
used multiple operating systems I'll use
a Mac albeit a lot of times I'm pulling
up spotlight and launching terminal
because that's where I'm most
comfortable and it feels better to me
than
you know using finder or any of the Mac
stuff but needless to say I don't want
to crap on any of these three I just
want to say each one has their time and
place and to just say one operating
system is completely better than any
other I think is just short-sighted and
I've made that video where I was like
hey this operating system is the best
but I really think everyone should learn
all three and get comfortable in all
three if you can is especially if you're
going into IT being able to work in all
three is a triple threat kind of thing
and that's really important for just
understanding what users are going
through and understanding how to support
people it's it's big deal so I'm not
gonna say they don't matter when it
comes to operating systems but I'm not
gonna say one's better than another
anymore I'm gonna just say each one has
their time in place and you should use
what's best for you depending on your
needs so that's where I'm gonna leave
this video what are your comments let me
know down below because I'm always
looking forward to them I've been really
focusing more on comment driven stuff so
if there's any comments I usually read
through and I'm like you know what that
might make a great video because that's
where most these video ideas come from
and a big shout out to all my patrons
without you I couldn't make videos like
this one and I'll see you in the next
one
