CONCLUSION: I will stop watching them since all of these alligations and “false?” hardware testing makes me not wanna support them. Even if most of them aren’t true, i don’t want to risk it

ive heard some mixed things about ltt so i want to know if theyre actually bad or not

and im not watching them for linux help, i just like the content, but i also dont want to support a bad person

    Which is my point exactly:

    As much as Linus tries to claim it whenever he fucks up in Linux, he is NOT the average PC User.

      I think you understood the opposite of what I was trying to say.

      Average PC users sadly do just click “yes” on everything without reading to make it go away.

        Sorry I still feel like we have a misunderstanding here.

        I was saying that Linus is not an Average PC user so he would not simply click yes. I feel like you’re reasoning the other way round? I.e. an Average PC user would just click yes so Linus I not an averge PC user but that doesn’t make sense to me since he did simply click yes?

        I’m sorry I keep on about this and if I’m completely misunderstanding you I just wanna figure out what you mean

          I’m saying he was deliberately trying to act like an average user to show the average user experience to his viewers. The same reason he refused to ask experts he knows via work for help and attempted to do research available to an average user.

          An average user would have had a good chance to run into the same system bricking bug he ran into that one time.

            OK. Finally got your point. That’s a fair argument and I guess one strategy to approach it that way.

            Though I do feel like the takeaway most people had from Linus’s failure is “If Linus can’t figure it out how can I ever?” So I would argue in that way the challenges sort of falsified the truth?

            But yeah got your point now, sorry for being slow.
