Linux

Eh. Entertaining but it's not informing relating to linux.

No.

I used to watch Emily's videos but she's gone now.

I think it depends a bit on what you're looking for. If you want Linux content, LTT might not be your thing. Linus is a bit of a notorious Windows user. They did a few videos on Linux, but that's not really what the channel is about. I don't think they're bad people, though. I'm not aware of any constant controversies. There might be some drama here and there, idk.

It's a bit below my paygrade, so I don't watch them often. I'm not into building new computers every few weeks, gaming, or optimizing my Windows file transfer speeds. And I don't think I'm their target audience when it comes to explaining computers. I already know all the stuff they explain and some more. The episode featuring Linus Torvalds was great, though!

(Edit: But yeah, thinking of it, maybe skip their Linux videos. I remember disagreeing a lot with how they portray stuff. Especially the older videos barely scratch the surface and I think some stuff Linus says is plain wrong. They have one dude in the team who uses Linux and knows what they're talking about. But that person doesn't get a lot of screentime.)

Anyone else have their head stuck in the "cheap nasty embedded computing" stretch of sand under the "tech sun"?

....That was a really weird metaphor.

Cheap famiclones excite me, not modern graphics cards.

Just watch The Linux Experiment

I dimly recall liking it back when it was NCIX tech tips. I was also stupider then, however.

For Linux? Not at all.
For PC related tech? Well, I find it entertaining, but I don't find their content useful anymore.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
He is a fraud who use hidden advertisement. Apart from that he is an idiot, who will push false information people fall for.
Almost the entirety of the content originally was product placement. Which is why if you go back to the beginning almost everything he reviewed was amazing!!
NEVER NEVER NEVER trust him.

Just his moronic ignorant approach to Linux should be telling that he is still a tech moron. Even now that he has economic independence to actually make quality content if he wanted.
Instead he is complaining that Linux doesn't support hardware, when it's the hardware that doesn't support Linux. He can't even understand basic logic. It is not up to "Linux" to write a driver, it is up to the hardware manufacturer. And that is also how it works on Windows. But "Linux" doesn't give him money. On Windows manufacturers even pay to have these drivers certified! So first they write the driver, then they pay Microsoft to certify them.

Just seeing his channel mentioned pisses me off, because his popularity is harmful to the industry. Watch LTT and leave worse informed than you were before watching that crap.
I have had ALL his channels blocked for years. Because everything he makes is worthless because you can't trust any of it, because he is both ignorant and 100% a commercial channel.

If you want real info, watch Gamers Nexus, Hardware unboxed, and similar channels, that are known for their integrity.

It's basically "I heart Carlie" but it's a dude in Vancouver...
