Tired of Windows getting in your way? After daily driving Linux for nearly 20 years, I’m laying out exactly 7 things Linux does flat out better than Windows in 2026 — and #1 is the one that’ll completely change how you think about computing.
This is not a rant. This is receipts. Real, demo-backed wins that go way beyond "open source is cool." From privacy that’s actually yours, to giving a dying Windows 10 laptop a second life, to a desktop you can truly call your own — these are the reasons millions of people are quietly switching from Windows to Linux this year.
Here’s what we cover in this video:
🔒 Real privacy by default — no Microsoft account, no telemetry, no tracking, no leash
💻 Bring old hardware back to life — Windows 11 demands TPM 2.0, Linux doesn’t care
🎨 Unlimited desktop customization — GNOME Extensions, KDE Plasma widgets, Cinnamon Spices
💿 The Live USB test drive — try the entire OS on your machine before you install
🚀 The GNOME workspace flow — a fundamentally smarter way to use your computer
📦 One-command app installs — APT, DNF, Flatpak, Snap — no more .exe hunting
🌍 Real choice — Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, Arch, Debian, openSUSE, Pop!_OS, Zorin and beyond
Whether you’re a long-time Windows user thinking about switching to Linux, a curious tech enthusiast, or a complete Linux beginner trying to figure out which distro to start with — this video lays it all out without the fanboy nonsense.

The future of agile way of working in OpenProject: Backlog buckets
Video by OpenProject | Open Source Project Management via YouTube
We’ve heard from many teams that navigating hundreds of thousands of backlog items can quickly become overwhelming, so we built a solution.
With OpenProject 17.4, we’ve introduced Backlog buckets: a new way to organize your backlog exactly how your team needs it.
And we’re just getting started, as promised, more agile improvements are on the way. Stay tuned.
