Then he’s changed his tune. I haven’t watched him for years at this point when I realized how technologically inept they are. I’m thinking specifically of the storage server video.
I rewatched the series finale now, and his conclusion seems as I remembered:
He had great experiences gaming on Linux
His kids used it too without problems
“freaking amazing”
“totally stable, no crashes”, he was playing multiplayer with a friend a lot
Remote Play Together from Steam works great too
He learned a lot, will give it another go in the future
But it’s not for him yet as a big VR lover
He really wants Linux to succeed because he hates the Microsoft monopoly
He didn’t even bring up his issue in the conclusion. If you can timestamp any “fuck Linux”, I would love to see it, because I really doubt he ever said that.
That being said, while it’s obviously his fault for ignoring warninigs, it’s ridiculous something as basic as installing Steam got him into that situation in the first place, it’s pop os’s fault for shipping a broken package. And yeah, things like that really don’t happen on Windows.
Yeah exactly, same reason I stepped off of linux. I don’t have the time to fix shit and it works with minimal effort is something I need.
I will switch as soom as it there and I am glad that people are willing to pay the time tax for now so that we have good adoption in the future. It just isn’t for me and I think Linus is the same.
I very much so enjoyed their content where they attempted Linux only for 30 days straight. They documented their successes, struggles, and roadblocks. I think they did two different attempts, the first time they didn’t recommend it and the second time they did. I might be misremembering the first attempt.
Uhh, he promotes Linux at every step? You are free to dislike him and his content, but he’s absolutely a force for Linux adoption.

From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago
Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.

Isn’t he an investor in Framework?
He is a time poor impatient person. That is something linux will need to address for wider adoption.
I would argue that their example resulted in some very wide ranging changes in approach that was long overdue.
Linux was at risk of becoming an “OS for us” instead of a true replacement for everyone.
I suspect if they repeat the challange today, it would be a night and day difference.

Bazzite was the breakthrough for me. All my stuff just worked. Only 2 things I had to fix was
1.adding 5.1 audio over Spdif, which was a single ostree command to make it permanent.
Took about an hour to research and fix both.
I had tried to covert 4 times in the 5 years before. Ubuntu, linux mint and endevourOS would not play well with my hardware in years past.

They only did one?
