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.

This person uses an 8GB mac, and tried to defend Apple in the debate, going as far as to say that Apple hardware is "not that expensive", and within 2 months regrets buying the 8gb mac.
They think Open Source is "overrated", insecure, and not important. They think Linux users are "normies" and fakers, Linux is not a desktop OS, and have explicitly stated "F*** LINUX".
That's a lot of terrible opinions in just 4 months, especially for someone who calls the internet "stupid", and supposedly doesn't have any education.
This is either a troll account, or someone with less than zero credibility considering their opinions and statements.
Something about that channel feels "off", don't know what it is. Maybe all the rants and abundance of negative opinions?? Perhaps it's the culture difference in how he communicates on camera?
The only positive videos I've seen are him moving to macOS, the dell laptop one, and i guess the keyboard one, the other ones seem to be mostly opinion pieces & rants. There are other channels that do a better, more balanced job of this I think
Rage bait and contrarianism are unfortunately pretty effective business models on YouTube. The less exposure we give people like that, the better.
Yeah I think he must be a troll or a total fuckwit. Just checked out his video about the 8gb mac mini letting him down and it seems to just be a joke. The comments on his videos seem legit and in support of what he's saying, I have seen videos from Apple fanboys, and I suppose Windows fanboys must be a thing. I don't think he's smart enough to call him a troll so I'll stick with fuckwit.
This is more than enough for me to form an opinion about this guy.
