I mean... isn't it obvious?
I mean...if I thought it was obvious, I obviously wouldn't be asking. What seems obvious is that you're deflecting because you don't actually have an answer.
He uses Windows for almost anything. The things he does use that are not Windows based are very few and he doesn't usually explain in detail what they are... because he doesn't know what they are.
Being a primarily-Windows user is not the same thing as being a Windows "fanboy".
He is a Windows fanboy. He praises how some things are so simple to achieve in Windows (no doubt there, some things are), but lacks to mention how complicated others are... like let's say get rid or old updates... which used to be a real problem until a few years ago (I now understand that it is again a problem in Windows 11).
He almost never even talks about Mac or Linux so, simple compared to what?
Just that they're simple, nothing more. And they are, but other things are not, and he fails to mention that.
Using an OS suited to his needs (gaming/content creation) isn’t being a fanboy, it’s using the best possible tools for the job. Linux is still a worse gaming experience than windows, no matter what way you try to sell it
So, what you're saying is, people doing Linux related YT videos are not Linux fanboys, they're just using the best possible tools for the job.
