    I don’t watch his other content but in that one video he was absolutely doing exactly what a typical user would do in his situation. He was trying to follow a tutorial, he ran into the sort of warning message Windows users are conditioned to breeze past, and followed the onscreen instructions without trying to understand the confusing stuff. They changed how it worked after that incident, as they should if mass adoption is at all desirable.

      The GUI wouldn’t let him break it, so he tried the command line.

      The command line required him to type, with punctuation “Yes, do as I say!” after a big warning.

      If an average user will do that, the “fix” of needing to create a file before being able to type “Yes, do as I say!” isn’t going to change anything

      All I’m seeing there is he decided to deliberately did something wrong on behalf of an imaginary person and then complain that doing the deliberately wrong thing broke the computer.

        tbf if your desktop environment gets uninstalled after “sudo apt install steam” it’s not entirely the user’s fault

          wait what? which distro does that? I’ve installed steam probably 50+ times like that… (haven’t seen the video since youtube is impossible to watch with a VPN)
