The part of the video that’s unspoken is that he spends most of his time trashing Pop!_OS

It's Pop!_OS that trashes itself in front of the camera. You people were recommending it for gaming for years, then Linus shown the actual experience.

And now you ignore, that LTT vid had shown Bazzite expreince as well, but boo hoo, Pop is bad therefore Linus bad, we hate LTT together.

Linux has worst, most tribal community in any sense possible. Any criticism ends up with hate and silent downvotes.

    The only thing I expect from a big tech YouTuber like Linus is that he does good research.

    Trusting a random person on reddit isn't that. And he has a big audience of people who might also want to try Linux. However, this isn't helping.. I just expected better from him.

    He did a good reasearch. He researched what average user will get recommended, and tested it. What else you want? It's actual linux experience. He also had somone tested Bazzite, and it was different experience. You're all foaming really because Linux has shit community that year after year shills dogshit distros to the point of ChatGPT picking it up. GG

    You call that good research? He should know better.

    Linus isn't the average Joe here. That is why people watch or even trust him wrt to technology to some regard.

    PopOS has been a good recommendation in the past, that doesn't mean it's a good recommendation right now.

    The same thing is true when Linus reviews one generation of Intel CPUs well, and another generation ends up having catastrophic flaws.

    The world isn't static, things change over time.

    If he had consulted a human being with a brain, instead of an LLM without one, he would probably quickly find out that PopOS just replaced their entire desktop environment and toolkit with new ones (Cosmic and Iced, all written in a relatively young programming language in terms of GUI, Rust). I'm the first one to blame PopOS for shipping Cosmic in such as rough state as version 1.0, but Linus is absolutely playing dumb to the point of contrivance here by ignoring the community and relying on ChatGPT to advice.

    Any criticism ends up with hate and silent downvotes.

    I think I've been pretty vocal and I'm not hating. I think my opinion is pretty nuanced.

    I don't blame him for trying PopOS because it has been recommended to him before. I do blame him for using LLMs and "listicles" for his research.

    PopOS clearly is in a bad state right now and that is on them.

    I dismissed it at the start years ago when I saw tutorial with some terminal wizardry supposed to enable gamepads over Bluetooth. I was right. Gaming distro my ass.
