From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I might be the minority, but I'm more inclined to click a video that says "Plasma 6.1: Release, features and my opinions" than one that proclaims it THE BEST THING (unless it's from a creator I already know and like anyway, they get a pass as long as the content is good)

Yes, but YouTube is kind of shit these days with how it works for creators and quite often getting more views is a matter of setting clickbait title and thumbnail. He actually is one of the biggest Linux creators on yt

Good on him for giving Linux a platform. Bad on google for coercing him to do so in a clickbaity manner.
