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.

LTT always seemed like somebody who doesn't know wtf they're talking about, but pretends to and appeals to people who know even less to make them feel smart. I can't stand the dude.
Everyone knows someone like this. Opinions about everything, but talk to them for five minutes and it’s apparent they know nothing.
LTT is the definition of a mile wide and an inch deep.
Linus has literally talked about that multiple times. He learns just enough to cover what is needed for the video, does the video, then forgets most of.
Yes which is why I don’t watch a bare minimum creator. It is just popcorn content.
