Outdated ffmpeg, good for dated formats, not good for new stuff Players like mpv are way better unless you want to use nightly build of v4
mpv is my choice by a wide margin, but I still recommend VLC to most people because it has the sort of GUI more people are comfortable with.
90% of software does run on Linux, but if the software you really care about/need for your job/need for your hobby doesn't, then it might as well be 0%. You are going to use Windows then.
For those who care at the first setup screen instead of answering any of the questions press Shift + F10 CMD will open Type (no quotes) “net user Prefferedusername /add” (replacing Prefferedusername with the user name you wish to use) and press enter. Next type “net localgroup administrators Prefferedusername /add” and press enter. Next type “net user Prefferedusername /active:yes” and press enter. Next type “net use…
I guess I'm old and out of touch after only a bit over three decades, because I can't figure out why this would helpful to have as a video in the first place over the text summary you posted here. I could see screenshots maybe being slightly helpful, but to having this sort of thing as a video feels like an extreme inconvenience; I'd much rather see all of it at once and be able to visually scan (or even better, ctrl…
I've always hated the trend of moving towards video as well. But if my desktop was currently in the process of installing the operating system, leaving me without a web browser, and all I have is my phone as a secondary device ... I might actually prefer watching a quick video over trying to read text on a tiny screen and having to pinch zoom and horizontal scroll. Of course this depends a lot on how the text is presented, but in general I think video is easier to absorb on a phone and text is easier to skim / read / zoom / copy-paste on a desktop.

There's that Microsoft UX we know and love!
People complain about how they hate to use the command line in Linux. But they don't similarly complain about these ultra obscure, ugly commands. When Microsoft necessitates commands, somehow it's different.
They do? How else does one use Linux if not via CLI? You mean those kiddies that like GNOME/KDE? pfffft, they're not "using" Linux. They're just using Linux to run other apps no different than using a ChromeBook

A more difficult but potentially great solution is to run Linux as a the host system and windows in single purpose containers for each game/program that work better in windows. All the anti-user behavior will only have minimal harm if all the container does is to start windows and then start the game, then close when finished. Ads will not have time to be shown, and telemetry only has game data to give. It can take a…
What would you use for that? Does docker work or is there a better solution, more oriented towards gaming?

Have you tried Thunderbird recently? It's had quite a lift.
No I have not, for many many years. The calendar is the key feature for me - I will give it a try then

I just installed Thunderbird yesterday, and it finally supports my work email flawlessly, and even the calendar works essentially the same as with Outlook.

For the search: YouTube results are often highlighted top of the page on Google search results.
