Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521

Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience "hasn't been great" is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

YouTuber desperate for those views concocts a story that will resonate with their viewers so they will watch his YouTube ads Then carefully crafts a video that happens to tell that preplanned story that confirms his viewers prejudices. YouTube makes gobs of money. YouTuber makes some too. This is not a Public Service Announcement. Every viewers time is wasted.
