Didn't we already find out Linus is a scumbag to work for like, 2-3 years ago? Why do we still spread around his content? He's a talentless hack that got lucky being one of the early tech personalities on youtube through NCIX

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 use Fedora and a MacBook Pro and I still had a better time than him.
I use pop os with hardly any previous knowledge for 8 months now and everything is working. I don't really understand wine, but that hasn't been a problem so far

Jesus Christ this place is toxic as hell
People are being exposed to something outside their bubble, and are lashing out.
As it should be. Linus is a patented moron.
He is but he actually did nothing wrong. Nothing he did this time was unreasonable from a user perspective. All the faults this time were with linux(system76 and valve).
It seems when you have a terrible attitude of entitlement and no willingness to learn, you'll never be happy with anything. Huh.
In that case, I'd rather have him stay unhappy on Windows and not make those videos anymore.
Linus is not a tech guy and it shows
He's more of a salesman for shit people don't need.
Linus is a tool. I've been saying this for a long time. The guy is good at marketing, but he's very far from what I consider a tech guy. I personally have no idea why his channel has the following it does, and I've no idea why some of my friends enjoy his content...which always staggered me because they know more about tech than he does. Hard R, amirite?!../s
