    is he still gonna try it on that jank ass setup that i know he’s still using then whine to the OS when nothing works right? Haven’t watched the previous one fully but Luke was more reasonable imo, Linus was just a whiny little shit.

    So i’ve watched the 2nd episode, Linus is using an actual computer this time, which is a step up, but he had the bright idea to let ChatGPT recommend him a distro (PopOS again, which he didn’t do any further research on, especially consdiering now that they’re sipping an unfinished COSMIC DE in prod), and outstepping that with an even brighter idea: choosing to install the OS and deal with troubleshooting at a LAN Party, Yup, you heard that right, a LAN party. The perfect place to troubleshoot things while you have people who are waiting on you to start a match.

    The problems he does encounter are indeed issues with the native linux port of L4D2 (audio levels changing and general source linux build bugs), also helldivers bugs in general, and it wouldn’t be current PopOS without a Steam window duplication bug.

    The rest of the team are (like in the last one if i remember correctly), miles better, they actually allocated some time to troubleshooting and didn’t let ChatGPT recommend a distro for them, they actually used the internet.
