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.

Any links? I'd rather watch GM because of the journalism content in the industry. I haven't seen any videos with GM in a negative light. Right now, I don't want to support Linus cuz of jet, lack of him & his wife's payroll transparency with Linus media group(did not disclose distributions saying it was too complicated. It is not.), the jet, etc.
Sure, ignore the clickbait title here, but this sheds some light:

GamersNexus has been validly hit by many others online for their deliberately-disingenuous attacks on LTT - honestly it just got embarrassing at a point, and really pathetic. I used to love them. I even have one of their very handy anti-static workmats.
Once they deliberately fanned the flames of false controversy enough times (oh the chances I gave them...), I unsubscribed and stopped following them. A shame too, because Steve seems like a pro-consumer rights type of guy. But that's not good enough on its own to keep me a patron of anyone.
I'm pretty sure LMG did release a shockingly-detailed video about how they make money and where that money goes, and how much to employees (the math can be done to provide the numbers). Do I think the funds for the jet purchase would have been better spent on employees? Sure. I don't expect to agree with every decision made by content creators - I expect to disagree with many. This isn't one that cancels them for me.
