Vex is a YouTube (gaming oriented) tech channel with over 200k subscribers. He just switched and started his journey to Linux. It’s a 46 minutes video, so there is lot of coverage. I think its always interesting to see of someone switching to Linux and documenting it in public, especially someone with lots of followers (OK its not a PewDiePie… but still). > > Video description: > > — > > I’ve had this Windows laptop, the Zephyrus G16. It is fast, has a beautiful display, lightweight, well-built… but it runs Windows 11. That has always been nagging me that it is holding it back, and I have only heard amazing things about Linux for the efficiency and customizability. So let’s see what it can actually do. > > text > 0:00- Windows > 2:27- why stay? > 5:49- THE DISTRO > 7:32- installing Linux > 11:20- onboarding > 16:29- attempting a game + Davinci Resolve > 20:45- idle power consumption > 21:53- window management is incredible > 24:12- fixing the brightness > 24:52- Davinci Resolve...
