I have sympathy for the point he was making to say it is really difficult to choose correctly and that guides can point people in confusing directions. And veterans who advocate taking the difficult path can make it more confusing.

But he needs to stop acting like a noob and be the tech guru he claims to be. He needs to contribute to the conversation by saying "it can be difficult to choose as a beginner.....but here are 3 good options.... Mint, Bazzite, etc etc". He can even cover the common pitfalls for beginners and oddities of Linux misbehaving with certain hardware and how one can go about resolving the issues.

I wasn't outraged at his first video as many others were years ago. But running a tech media company, having truckloads of expertise in house, supposedly wanting to support self-hosting and framework laptops, etc......and then doing this shit.....come on man.

At this point Pewdiepie has done more for Linux than LTT has.

He didnt need to. The other two had no issues and talked positively about bazzite and cachy
