The right approach to reviewing a new kind of operating system

Luckily, they never used the word review to refer to the purpose of the video, so your criticism is already out-of-place.

IMHO, that is the worst kind of reviewer

Again, their job was not as a reviewer, but as a tester for Linux in their specific usecase. In Linus's case, he added that he was doing it like an average user.

And it’s not gatekeeping to criticize someone for spreading misinformation about Linux.

What misinformation? Did Pop!_OS not ship a beta software with their LTS release that caused all the problems that Linus faced? Did his google search not suggest Pop!_OS as a distro? Did ChatGPT not suggest Pop!_OS as a distro? Show me where the misinformation was in the video?

I’m perfectly happy with him using Linux.

Yes, you're just unhappy other people are using it and finding problems.

Thank god for the other two for actually being the voice of reason.

Thank god the other two didn't find many problems? If they found a lot of problems, are they also now spreading misinformation?
