    Sees thumbnail… skip.

    I DGAF who the creator is. If you use a video thumbnail that screams “engagement bait”, then I’m going anywhere else.

      It’s Linus tech tips. They even have a video talking about how they don’t really want to do it, but it works, iirc.

      What a fantastic ecosystem that has been built!

      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.

        Not wanting to engage in or encourage the process of social harm is not a ‘personal issue.’
