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.

CONCLUSION: I will stop watching them since all of these alligations and "false?" hardware testing makes me not wanna support them. Even if most of them aren't true, i don't want to risk it

ive heard some mixed things about ltt so i want to know if theyre actually bad or not

and im not watching them for linux help, i just like the content, but i also dont want to support a bad person

A lot of people interested in tech end up watching at least one of his channels due to internet searches confusing 'best' with 'biggest'.

You will make your own mind up one way, or the other.

Linus is a trashtuber.

why is he bad? im not saying you're wrong, i just want to know what hes done

Just search. It's easy. There's heaps of data on LTT being shit, but particularly in Linus being a greedy, grubby little man.

Scroll down to 'controversy' and see if that's someone you want to support.

Watching his content should be enough to inform you of that.

Otherwise it is a very simple search on youtube, there are multiple very well known issues.

Spoon-fed opinions serve little purpose.

I don't watch YouTube at all outside of a couple of 70+ years old personalities who do some weekly commentary (not in English or tech related).

Zero search/feed/side-bar "consooming".

Slop-sumption is not unavoidable. You just need to learn how to value your time, and develop a simple objectivity/knowledgeability filter.
