He is shitting on Linux. Look at the thumbnail and title of the video. He’s pushing the narrative that Linux is difficult. Linux isn’t particularly difficult, it’s just different than Windows. If you have no knowledge of either, they’d both be difficult to use. I know for me, using Windows is such a pain in the ass, cause everything is so different than Linux, and I’ve been using Linux for 18 years. But I’m not going to say Windows is difficult just because I’m unfamiliar with it.
It’s way easier to do a lot of things in Linux than Windows, and to his credit, he does touch on this for a few seconds in his video. But he spends so much time focusing on the bugs in the beta quality software that no other distro uses that yet again, he’s going to be pushing people away from Linux as a whole because he doesn’t know what he’s doing.
He needs to realize that he’s not “cursed”, he’s just nowhere near the computer expert that he thinks he is. Again, he’s just a fool.
I’m blaming someone who should have enough expertise to understand that that can happen and how to avoid it. I mean Luke literally brought it up himself as a criticism of Linus’ approach for that video in the WAN Show the other day.
You’re acting like Linus is just some nobody who has zero responsibility when he’s talking about Linux. That’s not true. For better or for worse, people will listen to his opinions and takes on things. If those takes are grossly uninformed, that’s his fault, and it’s irresponsible of him as an influencer. If he can’t be bothered to do more than an hour of research before spouting off his nonsense opinions, then he just shouldn’t be talking about Linux. Let someone more competent from his team do it.
