This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Why does Google even care? They should make Microsoft file takedown notices for each of these installs while at the same time promoting Linux after all their own OS runs on Linux (I know it's a piece of junk that can't compare to a typewriter but still)
Most likely Microsoft is paying them
Google doesn't care, this is most likely an algorithm taking down the video based on the title. Not the first time the algorithm took down videos accidentally see the copyright case below for example:

That was years ago, now it is worse.
I know it's a normal thing, to not instantly look for alternatives to software you might have used for your entire life, and I get it, if it hasn't harmed you or done you wrong, then it's probably fine to stick with what you know.
But as someone who first experienced alternatives to Windows back in 2006, and like others who walked the more beaten path, we've grown tired of this stuff. The slow, decline of Windows, and the promise of something better with every update.
It won't surprise me if one day they decide to full send it and charge a monthly subscription to use the full OS, not one bit. Enshittification, it's bound to happen. I'm teaching my child about linux now, so they'll be aware that software doesn't have to suck.
Try something different, it's a good way to live, to know you don't have to remain where you are if you don't want to. Of course, only if you want to!
Seems like this war is going to take longer than expected
Download the ISO from MS, make bootable USB with Rufus. After clicking Start you can choose local account only, bypass TPM and RAM reqs, etc
E I guess not fin. Massgrave
The noose keeps tightening.
Google also has been trying to argue that modifying client side javascript is equivalent to hacking.
Modifying code running on your own fucking machine, in your own fucking browser.
They just can't admit that they're using ai for the server side scripting, seeing how it doesn't work out.
Come join us in Linux.

Come on! It's fun! And pretty frustrating at times. You'll hate it. And then love it. Then hate. It's called emotional balance and it makes character, or some shit, I dunno.
Just get the penguin already.
It has progressed a lot lately, IMO. If I don't wander away and try to do some weird stuff and just use it as a classic os, well for me I haven't had a single issue for a very long time.
TBF the penguin is kinda hot.
If fuck it.
Like a wise man once said FAFO
Didn't click the link.
Why are they taking these videos down?
Rumor has it their garbage AI thinks they are hacking techniques.
Why are they removing hacking videos? Have they always done that? IT help videos are the cornerstone of why YouTube has any redeeming value these days. I know, I know, I shouldn't use it, but sometimes it is the only place that has the info you need.
They are helping you staying away from windows, use linux it's free
"You will give us your data no matter what."
Time for Peertube to shine!
Only if people can find the videos.
That indeed is a huge problem. Whenever I try peertube, I get zero search results and I don't know whether it is because there are so few videos or because the indexing is so badly done or because people do not provide metadata with their uploads...
