    For me it was seeing Linus talking about Linux that made me want to skip… Wonder what he screwed up this time and blames the system instead of the user

      he never blamed Linux, he put the blame on pop os for shipping a broken DE to stable, though he also saw issues with other distros which didn’t make it fully in the vids.

      also let’s be honest the steam thing was also stupid that it would brick his DE before. there’s defending Linux against hate and there’s defending poor UX and leadership choices against any criticism.

        This. There are so many excellent reasons to dislike Linus, but the way Pop_OS! screwed him over (yes, that way around) isn’t one of them.

      I’m not a fan on the channel either generally, but as I remember they didn’t do anything unusual? Just installed some things and the distro broke itself.

      If someone can break it by just doing average things a user would do, that’s not really the users fault.
