From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can we count the mainstream tech tubers in recent months that have done these Linux/Bazzite videos?

  • As much as I hate ETA Prime, I think he was one of the first
  • PewDiePie
  • Toasty Bros
  • J2C
  • Dawid Does Tech
  • Ctrl Alt Rees
  • Digital Foundry
  • Lon.TV
  • Chris Titus
  • LTT soon

DankPods my beloved as well. He’s not very technical with software so it’s quite interesting to hear him talk about it.

  • Way too many videos
  • Many of them redundant
  • Frequency shows in the quality of his work
  • Never says anything about where to buy products or how much they cost
  • Clickbait central

I assume it’s just that his channel mostly seems like advertisement for products. I like him enough, but I know what I’m getting if I watch one of his videos.

LTT soon? They made a few Linux videos and still love windows too much to recommend it.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 11 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yes they're supposed to be doing a video with Linus Torvalds soon.

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Please don't make me sub to LTT 😅

No need. If that happens, you'll surely have no chance to miss that video on Lemmy. :)

They really seem to be intent on glazing Apple at this point.

Having his name on one of the most popular windows debloater was just as based.
