Jonathan spent 1 month with a cheap used laptop and multiple Linux distros to see if the hype is real or if big Linux is just bribing creators to say that it's better than Windows now.

Great to see Emily!
After a pretty bad day this really saved it. Emily in my youtube flow. Thanks for still being there. ❤
If I could run the Microsoft Office suite of programs on Linux, I would be there in a heartbeat. That's the only think holding me back. And so good to see Emily again! Have really missed you!
Wow this channel just keeps getting better and better! Plus bonus Emily??? Lets go!!!
EMILYYYY!!! <3
The utter Legend that is Emily
I love how well thought out your videos are Jono ❤
Emily !!! It is so nice to have you back! We missed you ❤ I use windows because: Corporate software runs only on windows ( accounting software for example) . Games mostly run on windows. The 1% running on Linux is a big reason Linux is not mainstream. Windows mostly works ( i do not use windows 10 ) . Drivers exist on windows, it is a total nightmare on Linux. Every time i hear Linux is "finally" ready for prime time ... for the last 30 years ... I am sorry but it is not anywhere close for mainstream.
EMILYYYYYYY WE MISSED YA!!!!
