    Its pretty well received. I think only the fringe parts of the linux community who love linux but dont understand it are getting upset.

      Maybe we have different expectations on roasting levels then. I’m particularly thinking of all the comments making fun of Linus doing a fresh install at a LAN event, picking PopOS again, setting himself up to fail changing all his devices at once to one distro constrained by handheld support, etc. For an honest followup advice video, I’d expect them to consult with someone like Wendell first, so I wouldn’t actually expect it to be a bad video.

        Yeah i think all the people criticizing him for picking pop are actually braindead. That criticism should only go towards pop for shipping their cooked new de way to early with no warning label and the linux community for recommending it.

        I dont think the lan party thing holds anymore weight. Its fine to install linux at a lan and he would have had just as bad of an experience at home since the issue was with cosmic and left4dead and was not caused by him.

        I dont think he switched his devices that was just his reasoning while chosing. He ended up picking bazzite and kubuntu.
