what's up oh computer trouble man all i want to do is write scripts dank ass jokes for LTT but i've been stuck in an infinite bootloop for like a day what if i told you that there's a way out from under the iron grip of the bloated legacy of billy g why are you using that voice i can show you sure but i must warn you it's a rabbit hole that you may never want to climb back out of but you never explain the voice and if you do escape you should probably escape to our sponsor thanks to joan for sponsoring this video their meeting boards help us prevent double booking in our conference room and they can help you too so you don't have to deal with people poking their heads into your meetings check them out and use offer code Linus eight to get eight percent off okay so you got me down here why don't you start by telling me why i should care about Linux well it's simple really i can say with confidence that it's the future of gaming that's a pretty bold claim yeah but there are huge companies backing it right now now you can play stream games in Linux using valve's proton and the number of games is growing by the day as a result of that NVIDIA has been focusing on Linux drivers almost as much as Windows and you want to know the most important thing hit me google's game streaming service stadia relies on Linux using vulkan native Linux versions of the most popular titles are all but certain at the very least Windows versions with vulkan support which makes proton's job that much easier what's more game developers see proton as a way to access a whole new audience of Linux users meaning the more popular proton becomes with gamers the more native Linux releases developers will make i see and you're going to talk me through this right i mean i've never used Linux before and i've heard that it's pretty complicated not necessarily do you remember how we had to jump through a lot of hoops in order to get our last video on ubuntu gaming up to date enough to run games properly well as it turns out there's actually a bunch of different distros available where that's not a problem wait hold on slow down a second i've heard about ubuntu before but what's a distro oh right it's short for distribution and ubuntu is just one of them okay uh you can think of it like Android some phones get updates faster than others or come with their own bundled apps and ui scans the same with Linux so you can think of ubuntu as being similar to say touchwiz on samsung galaxy phones or oxygen os and oneplus okay like those ubuntu is not always the most up to date but it's got a nice enough interface it's you know pretty popular some distros on the other hand are more elegant and some are more customizable some have more features other place emphasis on stability that kind of thing so what if i don't like one distro and i want to choose another one i'm gonna have to learn everything again from scratch no just like on Android where you can download a new launcher if you don't like the interface on a Linux distro you can just download a new desktop environment ubuntu itself is a distro and these days just uses a customized version of a desktop environment called gnome but if you want a more Windows like experience there's kde lxqt and xfce and if you want a more mac-like experience there's deepen pantheon and budgie all of which feature high levels of polish ubuntu even has a bunch of different flavors with that in mind like kubuntu zubuntu and ubuntu budgie i love these names and since you can run them all off of usb drive you can give it a test drive without even affecting your existing operating system so like if you have Windows it only takes a few minutes just download the iso and using balina etcher or rufus you just create a usb drive and off you go just one of these that's pretty sweet okay so as i said i have heard of ubuntu so since it's the most popular one that's got to be the best for gaming right um yes and no ubuntu has the advantage of being ridiculously popular so most guys will be written with it in mind the problem is that ubuntu ships with old versions of all the software we're going to need so there are some hoops to jump through in order to get the working gaming setup with that in mind though there are two distros i'd like to bring attention to today system 76 is pop os and manjaro pop os is based on ubuntu so it's able to take advantage of ubuntu's community support and it also has more up-to-date software than stock ubuntu does which makes it simpler to get up and running manjaro on the other hand is not based on ubuntu but something called arch which is really geared towards more advanced users and uses what's called a rolling release cycle which is similar in concept to stock Android release cycle this gives us access to even more recent software plus it even has steam pre-installed and like ubuntu manjaro comes in multiple flavors just in case you like one desktop environment over another okay so you're saying if i install manjaro i just have steam but if i go with pop os then i need to go to the website and download steam right uh no that's where the package manager comes in the huberty way well it's basically like an app store and it gives you a list of searchable software that is gathered from a list of centralized repositories that you can just download and install with a couple clicks and this gives you automatic updates as they become available on the repository and installs any prerequisites the app might need so on pop os you just open up the pop shop and search for steam is there a lot less overhead with this os uh compared to Windows yes just feels so fast and light okay but what if a software i want isn't even in the store uh in that case your next step is to turn to the community and on ubuntu-based distros that comes in the form of personal package archives or ppas which can be added in pop shop settings window under extra sources meanwhile on manjaro you'd use the arch user repository which is a little easier to set up just enable it in manjaro's preferred package manager pamac usually these will give you access to software that might not have package available for your distro for example things like discord teamviewer or obs okay but what if it's not on either of those then as a last resort you would turn to the author's website just like on Windows but that's not really a common problem to have which is fortunate because it's not as easy or as clean to install something you downloaded from the internet on Linux as it is on Windows or macOS you'd be at the mercy of the developer having good instructions and you'll probably need to use the terminal like shown here hold on a second you expect me to understand all this gibberish no in many cases it's just a universal way to provide an easier installation experience for people until the software's available in their package manager how is this easier don't be intimidated you can just copy and paste if it's a reputable piece of software there's a little harm in it even if you don't understand what's happening the terminal isn't something that needs to be scary it's just old-fashioned feeling but think of it this way how often have you been digging through settings trying to figure out where that one button is true if you know exactly what you want your computer to do and that includes copying these lines it's the fastest and simplest way to go and by the way this even applies to Windows and macOS 2. okay so now with pop os i normally go to the pop shop and if it's not there i'd add a ppa but if it's not there then i just copy this stuff and it'll install how much more do i have to know to play games actually surprisingly little while it's not strictly necessary to get everything working we're primarily focused on making sure your drivers are up to date thankfully manjaro has the ability to install them for you in just a few clicks using the manjaro settings manager followed by a quick reboot but pop os has dedicated versions for AMD Intel and NVIDIA users with the drivers already pre-installed no fuss all that's left for you to do is install a piece of software called wine via the package manager that will let us run Windows programs and ensure all the prerequisites are installed for our next important item lutrus which is a game manager for Linux that can handle games not supported by steam what is this logo trying to be like an egg it's a little guy it's a little otter yeah okay so is it ready now can i play some games sure games like rocket league team fortress 2 and the most newer indie games actually are straight up available on steam for Linux without needing any compatibility layers or special setup so it just knows that i'm on a Linux pc and it's going to install the right one yeah sweet yep it's what valve calls steam play and i think you'll be surprised at just how many games are jumping to Linux there's over 5 000 native Linux games as of today including many aaa titles thanks to porting studios like feral interactive and that's not even including the growing support for proton just check out the excellent community run proton db site and what's more you can even enable proton for any game on steam by going to steam play in settings and checking a box but if you want to install games like starcraft 2 overwatch league of legends or if you're big on good old games or humble store you'll want to use lutrus which makes the process dead simple just grab one of the community-made installers from lucas.net and it does all the work for you configuring wine setting all the right variables installing all the support software all that stuff you used to have to do manually so why don't you just take for a spin all right so i got activities um you can go to that or you can go to lucrez.net either way click on the button where it says search lutras.net and click install do i have to install this directx 9 yeah so this is going to launch battle.net you might need to still install starcraft but it says play it's playable uh i think you can launch multiplayer or something balls a wrath oh look at all the achievements i get just for logging in it's so great cool so it just looks like the game am i going to play do i get paid to play right now how many actions per minute do you have like 40. this is probably enough i got a gateway or i'm about to need to construct more pylons i have not enough minerals wait what my life for iron i'm out of here go oh this guy's gonna die for sure i'm not doing anything let's just let's let's end this now okay i played a game on Linux your first game on Linux i did it you said that there were some hoops that had to be jumped through but to be clear you don't have any of that on popos or manjaro it's just it just all works like we saw yeah so ubuntu is due for an update like now which might fix some of that but for popos and manjaro and actually for a number of other distros we didn't cover today the steps basically boil down to install the os install steam or lutrus and start playing that's what makes these distros especially enticing for gamers but while manjaro is set up well to cater the gamers out of the box it's not going to be as stable as a distro like ubuntu and that's why popos and others like it try to bridge that gap with updated drivers while still retaining excellent community support and stable packages which makes them a good choice for getting your feet wet okay so what games am i least likely to be able to play and are there any gotchas there are a couple of caveats when it comes to gaming on Linux uh the biggest ones uh are problems with anti-cheat software and intrusive drm schemes and with switchable graphics like NVIDIA optimus thankfully with valve and talks with easy anti-sheet there's some hope for resolution on anti-cheat sometime soon but for switchable graphics right now ubuntu-based distros are the only ones that provide any real support out of the box like popolis and the workarounds for other distros aren't pretty to say nothing of Linux is HDR support right now which is zero you'll also lose access to most if not all of your dedicated RGB lighting controls hold up hey come on get back here yeah hold up there are some stand-ins for configuring peripherals like ckb next piper and anti-micro okay i'm listening just be prepared for limited support for external peripherals that rely on custom software especially for headsets and less mainstream brands in general but aside from that you know we keep saying it but it keeps turning out to be true getting into Linux is easier than ever and the rapid pace at which features are equal in Windows is only going to accelerate now that google stadia again a Linux based platform using vulcan is coming and because proton and stadia and videos working overtime to match AMD's already excellent open source drivers and wikis for arch and ubuntu are excellent resources for learning and troubleshooting plus the Linux gaming subreddit is huge thanks for your contributions you guys you rock and if you take all that together i mean it looks like we're in the middle of a renaissance the volta 2.0 magnetic cable is a sleek 5 amp charge and sync magnetic cable that's standard usb on one end and then an open magnet on the other end and they've got a new reinforced design for all three tips so you can fit them into almost any phone case they've got usb type-c apple lightning and micro usb the upgraded connection slot design means it's one touch you've got instant charging and a nice strong magnetic connection and it's reversible meaning it can charge in both directions it's got a new and improved blue led light on the side so you can
