    The problem with this is that it gives legitimacy to an idiot YouTuber who has gone out of their way to discourage new Linux users.

    And nevermind all the other garbage from LTT

      Uhh, he promotes Linux at every step? You are free to dislike him and his content, but he’s absolutely a force for Linux adoption.

        From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago

        • sees an error message, doesn’t read it
        • starts pasting random shit into the terminal
        • breaks the system
        • Fuck Linux, it’s not ready for use
        • after the Linux community has a meltdown, someone points out to him that he’s an idiot, but in a gentle way you’d tell your boss
        • tries again, gives up again
        • films another video on how windblows just works, while he, a certifiable tech genius, couldn’t get it to work

        Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.

        I very much so enjoyed their content where they attempted Linux only for 30 days straight. They documented their successes, struggles, and roadblocks. I think they did two different attempts, the first time they didn’t recommend it and the second time they did. I might be misremembering the first attempt.
