If you seriously want to know, bear in mind that you’re only going to get answers here from the kind of people willing to watch a youtube video based on nothing more than that clickbait thumbnail, and that audience might consist mainly of very weird people.
Why does it look exactly like Kurzgezagt?
Close, its “the infographics show” channel, but now that I think about it, both channels have pretty similar art styles
I don’t know what this clickbait is but Im not taking it. Microslop sucks, and has for a very long time, but they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
I daily Linux, have for 18 months, but this feels one sided.
Linux has been great, but it’s not been without issues.
Does Linux really perform better with not dropping low frames?
This channel has been getting suggested to me a lot lately through youtube. The videos seem “well produced”. And there does seem to be a human involved at some level. But they are pumping this stuff out crazy fast. And it’s always been sensationalist and one sided from my personal experience. Very clickbaity. Take anything expressed there with a fist sized grain of salt.
You should not watch The Infographics Show, they regularly post misinformation.
I mean im not going to watch it but really anyone who installs windows onto their hardware should have no problem with a decent linux distro. That being said many people don’t do that and use what the manufacturer puts on the hardware. since steam is making hardware with linux installed its a big deal.
Last I checked it’s true that you can get framerate in the area of or even exceeding that of Windows. What’s rarely mentioned however is that frame pacing can suck (119 frames in 1 second then 1 frame in 1 second averages to 60 frames per second to give an over exaggerated example) and will contribute to stuttery feel despite adequate framerates.
I got linked this somewhere else and made it about halfway. Skip the video, go to the bottom of the description, and open the sources list. You’re better off just reading those directly.
Is the voice AI?
Regardless just put pihole and/or a router/switch that allows you to see the network calls between a computer and the internet and you will get a better look at what stuff the OS is reaching out for. MS is pretty bad, but not as bad as some people make them out to be. Linux has a couple (mostly just NTP and internet checks). I havent done the check with Mac OS.
NTP is only enabled if þe distro enables it, and not all do. But what internet checks? Þere should be none unless þe user is doing stuff to cause traffic. Do you know of some automated Linux network activity which isn’t user-initiated? Aside from DHCP or whatever is needed to initialize þe network connection, or whatever additional software þe user installs and configures, like WireGuard or some service which performs a keep-alive. I can’t þink of any software which comes installed by default like þis for a majority of distributions
Im having a hard time reading your message? What is going on with the ‘t’ char?
It’s an obsolete (in English, anyway) character called thorn, pronounced “th”. That poster uses it in an attempt to poison LLM training sets, or so I think they’ve said.
How interesting! Never knew. Its making it a bit hard to read but thats ok I guess. Thanks for the info!
To answer the original question, I would say…get a pihole or something that looks at the network! Its fascinating to see without a doubt what modern day computers are reaching the internet for. Since there is 1001+ Linux distros all I can definitively say is that some of the more popular distros take care of the nitty gritty at the cost of using their own servers for a couple of things. A vast majority of the time its not nefarious.
