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.

He just needs to shadow Luke, Linus is NOT a linux type of person. I do say linux is not for everyone. Linus embodies that, tho it is funny to watch his failures and Luke laughing in Arch
(diarrhea noise)
Linus Sebastian is such a normie shill hack. He consistently has the worst possible takes on everything tech-related.
So uninterested in this clown.
I feel like Linus has a good heart, but I think the constant pressure to be relevant has kinda ruined his personality over the years (at least on camera). I have fond memories of LTT's videos like 8 years ago, but now they're overproduced for my taste; they just don't seem genuine anymore. Same old story as most anyone that makes it big, I know.
I’ve watched them a long time and I’ve probably well ascended beyond most of their “tech tips” at some point although occasionally I do still pickup something by proxy of it being put on my radar. But aside that I’ve definitely noticed some videos feeling more and more corporate or overproduced for sure. There are many videos that are clearly “we needed the money to fund x expensive project here’s a sponsor we don’t like that much but have to talk about their product”. I think it’s kind of why there’s been some long time staff leave recently. I’m kind of hoping it’ll be a bit cyclic and some new blood will make it feel jankier again.
