I mean, I get it, but I kind of reject the premise. Normies don’t install operating system, period. Not Windows and not Linux.
What’s the point of Linus playing dumb here? What’s the point of him always seeming to install Linux when he’s pressed for time at a LAN party or before needing to leave? Has he ever done a video where he approaches using Windows as if he was a caveman who never witnessed electricity before?
It’s really starting to feel like a bad faith attempt…
This is the self-proclaimed “tech tips” guy we’re talking about. If you’re knowledgeable enough to know what Linux is and why you might want to install it, you should be knowledgeable enough to not trust “listicles” (often produced by LLMs today) and LLMs (trained on outdated listicles from 10 years ago).
PopOS is a bad choice today. Granted, some of that is the fault of System76, as imho, Cosmic really isn’t really for prime time. But I think most people with any reasonable knowledge of Linux would probably not recommend it right now. Like, if they had asked Wendel from LevelOneTechs, I seriously doubt he would have recommended it…
