I mean, let’s be clear, Linus knows wtf he’s talking about. He recognizes obscure parts on sight and generally has a deep understanding of tech from years of experience with it.
Doesn’t excuse the shitty behavior, but get real with this hot take.
Well I watched his Linux videos and to any mildly experienced GNU/Linux user he was laughable in that video, but not in a funny way, I pitied him for his lack of understanding combined with his usual stubbornness.
His stubbornness was incredibly frustrating in that one. Kind of even worse is how he acts like this is how a typical user would do when trying Linux, it’s just insulting the intelligence of his own fans… Well some of his fans
You could know absolutely everything about building computers and still know absolutely nothing about sim racing rigs. Knowing some domains doesn’t make you an expert at all domains. He could reach out to an expert for areas he’s not familiar with but he’s more concerned about clickbait and shitting out videos as quickly as possible.
Eeeh, I don’t know about that. He may have experience, but it never seemed to me like he had much understanding. Or even knew how to learn, like with the Linux stuff.
There is a difference between understanding technology and doing the homework before a video. You can be super smart/experienced, hut if you don’t care to learn about the thing you’re talking about it becomes a goof off very quickly. I’ve (and many others out there) have watched enough content to know when things are straying from legitimacy.
He has the technical competency of your average best buy employee. Not even geek squad, just like a normal employee. Just look at their channel, they constantly make videos about their mission critical servers breaking.
Maybe it’s because, while I’m tech savvy on the software side of things, my understanding of hardware aligns more with a common layman (the kind of person LTT targets as an audience) so, to me, seemed like he was pretty knowledgeable 🤷🏼♂️

To anyone who may read this comment as overly critical or unfair. It is not. It is apt.

And this is true for anyone whose business depends on the monetization of YT content. Imo.

We’ll, you’re not wrong about the Linux debacle, that was pretty embarrassing.
As a pedantic f*cking weirdo who goes WAY too deep into things until I’m satisfied that I understand them, he very much does not.
