Unsubscribed from the LTT channel now. To be honest, I mainly followed it because I was amused this "tech influencer" borked his PC trying to install Pop_OS.

"Yes, do as I say"

Any video I saw of LTT just boiled down to "look at all this money I just spent, so much money guys and no practical use cases"

Their Linux series seemed a little one sided. It's not like Windows is a perfect replacement which runs without issues.

I watched LTT a lot until recently but that Linux challenge seemed like the first sign to me that they don't look at everything in good faith. "Why doesn't Manjaro tell me it doesn't have APT installed" It's another OS, he acted like it's something you can just jump into without doing research. I know that wasn't his belief but it was his action. Nobody in the Linux community will say it's as easy as Windows, even Linux Mint requires a good bit more know-how than the average "savvy" Windows user. Windows doesn't follow POSIX, Linux and its tools at least try to

I've read so many times that you are supposed to install it for your grandma cause it's easy and doesn't cause trouble.
