Make: command not found
Capitalization is important on UNIX!
Well. Could at least prompt the user "did you mean make?" Git does that. It's handy.

That annoying cunt
Both can be very rude to people around them (from what is visible in public). I wouldn't want either of them as my boss. Apart from that, both have their ways to entertain; I don't mean by displaying bad behaviour to people; that is no entertainment I enjoy.
I image it will be like having Gordon Ramsay as a boss.
Sure, but one is rude to people that deliver bad work to him, the other is rude to people that don't accept his bad work from him.
The Linus in Linus Tech Tips is an awful guy
Is he even very tech savvy? Like IIRC he tried to install a Linux Desktop once. And on installing steam he went ahead with the terminal prompts that were warning him whatever weird command he did was going to nuke his desktop environment.
The weird command was sudo apt install steam pretty much IIRC
He should've read the message, but it also shouldn't have uninstalled his desktop environment, that should be a very damn safe command to run if we want Linux to be mainstream on the desktop. Sucks that a package dependency error like this managed to make it through QA.
This.
The Pop_os team accepted that behaviour (installing steam uninstalls the DE) as a bug and it was fixed subsequently.
They also fixed the whole thing with the error message to make it more difficult to accidentally delete critical system components by installing software entirely unrelated to said system component.
@squaresinger @boonhet typical apt...
It kinda is, isn't it? Apt isn't super stable.
@squaresinger but it stable trying remove unrelated software when installing steam or 32-bit software. Installing steam caused DE removal even more then ten years ago
That case was a legitimate bug in the specific PopOS version he was using
It was bad luck on every side. Mostly because pop doesnβt update packages during install

I don't watch his other content but in that one video he was absolutely doing exactly what a typical user would do in his situation. He was trying to follow a tutorial, he ran into the sort of warning message Windows users are conditioned to breeze past, and followed the onscreen instructions without trying to understand the confusing stuff. They changed how it worked after that incident, as they should if mass adoption is at all desirable.

Guess we're all gonna ignore all the drama about LTT from last year?
Saying he's the one who breaks is an understatement.
The one who steals prototype liquid coolers, fucks up installation, and slanders their manufacturers
Oh yeah, and disallowing employees from discussing their income, I think was another one.
Lots of anti-union behavior.
Im very happy to see people aren't downplaying what a shitty guy he is here.
Like the way you treat your employees and the people you work with is shit that actually matters.
I don't give a shit if someone is clumsy for entertainment, I give a shit when their workspace is a good ol boys club, sweatshop, and then when they decide to threaten a defamation lawsuit against a former female employee they brought in under very suspect circumstances in the first place all because they couldn't find evidence within their company they admit has an awful HR department.
Just a fucking mess, and I hate that shitty people just succeed nowadays.
