Windows 10 Home - Redefining the Series

Added 2020-07-21 01:03:21 +0000 UTC

This episode was my worst enemy.

It took so long to produce that I missed my regular Monday release. I thought I could wake up early and finish it before work, but oh boy, was I wrong.

The episode is 17 minutes long. That is the longest episode in the season by far, and probably the longest Distro Delves episode ever, even for future episodes.

I dug way deeper into things that I would typically but, the vast majority of my audience (especially those that leave comments) are Linux users, so they probably know as much about Windows as Windows users know about Linux.

I learned a lot about Windows while producing this video. Mostly around things, I thought I knew but were outdated or inaccurate. Themeing & styling is a great example of that.

I think this episode redefines the series because let's face it, there are orders of magnitude more users on Windows. By focusing on Linux, I limit my potential audience by a considerable amount.

And I know this video will alienate some people, but I've never pandered to my audience, and I'm not going to start now by avoiding Windows.

I see Distro Delves as an OS-agnostic series; I'm not trying to "convert" people to Linux with it. I want people to enjoy the videos and be informed without feeling like they are being radicalized.

As it stands, I'm expecting the reactions to this video to be mostly negative. I already know my opinion on Windows (as a Linux user) is unpopular, and people on YouTube already voted against me having Windows 10 on the show.

I guess it's time to disappoint people, Egee style. 😎
