I came from macOS and found GNOME pretty accommodating. It's more akin to macOS than to Windows, both looks and customisation-wise. I'm also a software engineer! :)
If they can achieve similar results without the subscription I think they might consider moving over. That being said I've seen what companies pay to use Microsoft shit lmao.

That's a fair criticism. I imagine as it matures more this might become less of an issue (yes it's been around for ages but desktop Linux is only recently gaining some traction, so I give them some slack there), but currently it's absolutely GNOME's biggest downfall.
It's also partially why I don't recommend it for Windows refugees, if you have any expectations of how it should function there's a good chance it just won't work that way, and the extensions that make it work how you want it to are unreliable.
I personally have a cursed setup with GNOME and hyprland installed. I retreat to GNOME whenever my hyprland setup is borked, which is most of the time.

GNOME is fine I will die on this hill. It's not for Windows refugees, though.
I assume it's people making (hopefully consensual) POV videos.
I think you're being pretty reductive here.
I agree his videos are usually mediocre, but as a cyber security professional I actually think this one did a good job of simplifying and explaining computer security fundamentals at a level that most can understand.
You and I have a ton of extra context that the average person does not, so that Wikipedia article might suffice, but the video covers far more than that Wikipedia article.
They clearly did more research than just reading that article, and they went to the trouble of reproducing some of the steps in the attack to demonstrate the danger it posed. This isn't just a brainless regurgitation of the Wikipedia article as you're implying.

there he is. Vinny.
Shareholders: why not all three?
This shit sucks for men too. I don't understand why anyone is against contraception.
Lol. I have no idea how Microsoft convinces these companies that they're the "secure" option. My workplace has banned any AI except copilot, because Microsoft told them copilot is secure.
Well tbf chatGPT also shouldn't remember and then leak those passwords lol.

Thanks! I feel obliged to say I built my PC in 2023, but Linux still feels exciting to me. Trying to avoid becoming that annoying Linux guy who tells everyone to install it lol.
