From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh? What did he do
He's an anti-woke crusader and bigot. A large chunk (probably most) of his "content" is actually about that.
CW all sorts of bigotry
"Best Alternatives to Woke Software", "Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork", lots of shit like that.He loves talking about so-called "reverse racism", he thinks white people are oppressed in US tech.
Here's a recent one:

Wow. I thought a couple of his old Linux Sucks talks were kind of funny, but never knew anything about him personally. Kind of sad to learn he's an asshole.
He also says, Palestine supporters and Hamas supporters are, and I quote, one and the same.
I mean the dude is literally Jewish and pro Israeli, it isn't even surprising he would have an L take like that
doesnt a free and open source operating system fit the definition of "actively attentive to important societal facts and issues" where the issue in question is not having control of your machine?
By its nature isn't Linux technically woke?
Just check his video titles.
Even without it, that snark face he uses for the thumbnails are a very big tell.
I don't have a list of specific instances on hand. But he was kind of a contrarian voice for a while that I listened to over a decade ago, but in 2016 went in the more anti-woke (anti-CRT in terms of the time) and very reactionary culture war turn.
