3·
1 year agoI’ve legitimately never understood the appeal of his channel. Linus always came off as smug to me – not in the way he talks to the camera necessarily but in the way he talks to his guest / colleague / other person on screen. And based on what little I have seen, the ego certainly doesn’t seem justified. Plus there are a multitude of other “gadget / tech” channels available (that don’t interrupt every 3rd sentence to hock some overpriced merch).
But there’s no accounting for taste so, to each their own I guess.
Pro-Linux game dev who releases a Linux-native version, then proceeds to break down the stats to explain to a non-Linux crowd why he chooses to do so? Fuck it, take my money.
