In-case you didn’t know, Linus Sebastian of LTT media made a video with Linus Torvalds. If you watched the video, what are your thoughts?

BTW, he uses Fedora.

    It was a really enjoyable video and it’s the first time I see any video of the creator of a project I love. I also enjoy LTT videos even if people on Lemmy dislike him. I like the fact that he’s trying to have another platform than youtube, even if it ain’t the one I support (Peertube).

        Mostly unsubstantiated rumors passed around about why certain employees no longer work there. Linus has on multiple occasions admitted he was doing everything for the first time and he didn’t always get everything right as the company transitioned from some dudes in a house to a legitimate company.

        Some don’t like him because of his opinions on things (most of the apple fanboys don’t like him because he regularly shits on apple and iPhones).

        Some people don’t like him because of drama with other YouTubers (mostly Steve from gamers nexus).

        As someone who used to watch him daily back when it was just him and Luke doing stupid shit in a regular house and doesn’t really watch him much anymore I don’t think Linus is an outright bad person. All of us are flawed in many ways. He seems like mostly a good guy and those who have met with him and worked with him that I have met or talked to only ever had nice things to say about him.

        🤷‍♂️

        He broke his Linux system by failing to read the warning on the screen and then blamed Linux.

        He’s an immature man-child.

        He does not handle being told he’s wrong very well. Granted, the people he surround himself with are no different. LTT was promoting take science products (aka scams) and when got called out on it by an actual scientist, lashed out.

        The warranty for his (I think it was a) backpack, was trust me bro.

        Until it was constantly complained about in comment sections, he would “joke” (as the then CEO) of firing people.

          The warranty for his (I think it was a) backpack, was trust me bro.

          To be fair, the warranty was proposed to be “trust me bro”, the community very much didn’t like that, so it actually came with a real warranty when it launched. So it never actually happened.

            Or at least he actually applied a real warranty then. It shouldn’t have taken people telling him that was a terrible idea for him to do that. But good to hear that people that buy at least got a real warranty.

              Yeah, he was stupid to have that idea. But nobody was actually wronged in the end.
