      Haven’t watched all of it, but off the top of my head: Bryan Lunduke is long time Linux and FOSS enthusiast who is known for having yearly tongue-in-cheek “Linux sucks” speeches, which have traditionally been good fun. Lunduke has in the past few years become a polarizing figure with a lot of reactionary American politics seeping in to his Linux content. Nicco is a KDE developer and youtuber who made this video to criticize his latest content.

      Do you know who Bryan Lunduke is? That’s what this video is about.

      If that name happens to not ring a bell, you aren’t missing anything.

        I had no idea but spent some time googling anyways.
        The answer seems to be a conservative tech youtuber that once upon a time worked with linux tech.

        Reddit user comments:

        It’s really unsettling. He used to be a great Linux guy but now he’s just a nut.

        I unsubscribed from his YT channel and stopped following him as he gradually began to drift from being a dorky goofball to being a right-wing apologist.

        Don’t listen to Bryan Lunduke. He’s a middle aged edgelord that new Linux users get introduced to because of his smart-ass “Linux Sucks” series, and then as they learn more about Linux themselves they realize he’s just a douche who’s not worthy of their youtube views.
