    Its a wild video tbh. Switching your OS on your own LAN which you organize? This is already a high stress situation and then he expect it to just work out of the box with barely any time or patience to give it a fair try. If a Linux veteran would do this for shits and giggles as just a guest things still could have gone wrong but he probably would have atleast the experience to fix things.

    But this isnt even a Linux issue. Imagine installing Win11 for the very first time without decades of Windows experience because you are eg a Mac user. The chances are pretty high that something goes wrong and you wouldnt have any clue how to fix them in like half an hour.

    Normalizing the use of ChatGPT for decisions doesnt sit with me well in general. But especially for Linux stuff its such a bad choice. I may be a luddite and AI hater. But i actually have tried those damn chatbots and they fucking suck for Linux questions. Their answers are more often than not atleast missleading, outright wrong and sometimes just outdated.

    I could shit on linux all day for all the real issues it has. But at some point i just skipped every Linus segment because it was unbearable to watch his antics.

    The segments with Luke and the helmet guy were pretty good tough.

      Yeah, wtf? Installing a new OS you don’t know during a LAN? I’d have no problems doing it with Linux, but give me a windows USB and we bad faith and I’ll definitely fuck it up on camera.

      Yeah chatbots are usually pretty useless for linux but I will admit I have had one or two issues that they fixed almost instantly after I spent 40+ minutes searching the web and could not find anything regarding the issue and my specific distro so I reluctantly asked them.

        Same, cursor has fixed both audio issues I’ve had on my computer. And it basically manages my systemd quadlets

      He does it this way in order to make Linux look bad. It’s happened so many times this way, I don’t know why people don’t see it. He either approaches it like a complete noob and deliberately makes mistakes that anyone that’s used a computer for as long as he has wouldn’t think of making, or he has some “disaster” that he blames on Linux.

      Then he does his “more in sorrow than anger” schpiel where he pats the Linux devs on the head and thanks them for trying but too bad they failed miserably, he was really hoping they’d do better this time. Oh, well, back to Windows I guess. Just wait for the cheque from Satya to show up in the post.

      Downvote away, you LTT bumboys. At this point, between the way he runs his business and his examples of blatant theivery, if you’re still a fan of this chucklefuck, I don’t know if you’re worth saving.

        He’s a bumbling moron in everything he does. I don’t know if it’s a schtick or if it’s just how he is. You have to be pretty technologically illiterate to take any cues from him.

          I’m not extending the “don’t attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity” meme to him anymore. At this point it’s obviously malice wrapped in greed.

        So please list down everything he does that you claim to be deliberate mistakes that anyone that’s used a computer for a long time wouldn’t think of making and how they caused the issues he is having in this video. He is literally roleplaying as a Linux noob and not an expert or as someone with the connection to breeze through any problem he has, so I don’t know why you’re so surprised.

          They literally had Linus Torvalds on last month and he was gushed over the entire time, the comments in here are unhinged.

      Imagine installing Win11 for the very first time without decades of Windows experience because you are eg a Mac user.

      Actually funny thing, I have a pretty minimal amount of windows experience, and basically 0 windows 11 experience (my use of windows computers was basically flash games back when I was a kid, and IT classes, which boiled down to launching office apps or codeblocks), and as the resident “computer person” of the family I usually end up having to fix various issues for them. Which ends up with me looking up very basic things for like 30 minutes that I can do in linux with 'muscle memory" in 30 seconds all the time :3

      Which is all to say this is an apt comparison and a real issue

          Heck. A winget comparison then?

          Or I suppose if we need something on both OSes we have like… pip or something lol. I don’t actually know that many package managers that happen to be available on windows
