      It’s a little crazy to me how the most popular tech youtuber struggles so much with Linux, meanwhile fucking PewDiePie, who’s not known for being particularly bright, has been making videos about Linux and selfhosting and how fun it is to configure his system lol.

        LTT isn’t known for being bright either.

        The main draw of his channel is that he has no idea what he’s doing.

        Like his budget builds that rely on buying parts later so they aren’t included in the price. Or that he stands on the cases to close them.

        It’s just about watching a monkey play with tech.

        The hardest person to convert is a Windows “poweruser”. They have an unfounded confidence in their ability to do things. They think because they know Windows well they should be immediate pros at other OSes as well.

        You are giving him to much credit of you think he’s just pretending to break things.
