    There was something that happened a while ago that made all the tech influencers look kinda silly in regards to Linux. I'll never forget this comment on one of the videos around the kerfuffle. 'All these computer experts have just been downgraded to Windows influencers.' It's so true how they can tell you all the inner workings of a Windows machine and the moment they try Linux their expertise just falls apart.

    Linus has a skill for messing things up with Linux

    It's a little crazy to me how the most popular tech youtuber struggles so much with Linux, meanwhile fucking PewDiePie, who's not known for being particularly bright, has been making videos about Linux and selfhosting and how fun it is to configure his system lol.

    [–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 35 minutes ago

    LTT isn't known for being bright either.

    The main draw of his channel is that he has no idea what he's doing.

    Like his budget builds that rely on buying parts later so they aren't included in the price. Or that he stands on the cases to close them.

    It's just about watching a monkey play with tech.

    Naw he's just the ElectroBOOM of computers. Intentionally does shit wrong to show people how not to do things.

    [–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

    He wishes he were electroboom

    [–] MIXEDUNIVERS@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

    the interessting thing with linus is that he 1. plays the non tech person and 2. has pretty bad luck with linux fetures that are broken or bugs because he stumbles over them to 120%.

    I also like the contrast between Linus and Luke because Luke drives Mint on his Laptop and cachy os on something other and he has very few problems.

    What did he do this time?

    [–] Eldritch@piefed.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

    He chooses pop over and over again at the worst times. The beta of cosmic was buggy for his use. And he installed it in the middle of a lanparty no less. That said. He eventually switched to mint same as Luke I think. Luke who has also been using, by the way. And he and Luke have had pretty positive things to say this time. Between windows actively going to shit and Linux continuing to chug along and improve.
