Same. I remember him like becoming a thing and then I saw a video where there was all this panic about losing a bunch of data since it was all stored on a striped array with no backup, and I’m thinking this guy is giving tech tips?” I wasn’t sure if it was satire, but I thought it was dumb and found him / his staff just annoying.

I’m also not a fan of this guy, but as far as I know LTT is aggressively anti Linux and doesn’t claim to be representative of or even part of the Linux community. I think one of his team members is pro Linux, but I don’t know anything about that person.
I will admit that the first time I watched LTT I did think it was going to be about Linux.
Maybe I’m wrong?

I’m a linux user and I regularly watch him. I would not describe LTT as “aggressively anti Linux”. They talk about linux and its flaws and sometimes their info is a bit outdated. But they dont hate linux and might be doing another linux 30day video soon.

It’s complicated, Linus at home wants the baby easy setup that just works, and in his mind Linux will only meet that need for him once steamos is out. He accidentally nuked his pop_os! installation setup if that tells you how software illiterate he can be sometimes.
There team is very different in opinions and it’s not uncommon for them to be making an amazing server build that’s clearly on linux. They use MacOS for their video editors. It’s just more complicated than any one sentence can boil it down to.

Why do you hate him?

I used to watch them, for me the content has gotten a bit boring, but they still occasionally upload some interesting stuff. Also I used to listen to their podcast every week and it’s still one of my favorites, I just don’t get to listen to podcasts as much.
As for their controversies I think they’ve handled them well, but we don’t have to agree on that.

I miss the beard. I feel like I watch less since he shaved, but that just might be a coincidence as my ADHD makes me binge different content in spurts.

From this write-up: knowyourmeme.com/…/gamers-nexus-vs-linus-tech-tip…
A major concern Gamers Nexus highlighted was Linus Tech Tips’s June 24th, 2023, review of a product prototype by Billet Labs[2] in which they used an incompatible piece of technology despite Billet Labs reportedly having been clear about the specifications the product needs to work accurately (seen below).
Moreover, the prototype worth thousands of dollars was purportedly given to Linus on loan with the expectation of it being returned. However, Linus supposedly did not return the prototype to Billet Labs. Instead, he auctioned it off to the highest bidder, which could have been a direct competitor to Billet Labs.

Personally, it’s the repeated instances of his company using things wrong, saying the thing is bad because it doesn’t work, and then doubling down if it’s pointed out that it only didn’t work because they fucked it up

I don’t follow this guy. Did he fuck up or something?
toynbee@lemmy.world 1 day ago
His crew has claimed many abuses (supposedly he has been absolved, I don’t have knowledge of or an opinion on whether that’s justified).
He stole a prototype of a product then sold it for profit (“What Happened Between Linus Tech Tips And Billet Labs?” on this page).
Also on that page are other allegations of which I was unaware, most of which (at a glance) seem to be about improperly testing and/or representing products. I particularly like the one about claiming a mouse was poor quality after he failed to remove a cover from the sensor.

You dont get to where Linus has gotten without fucking up a few times. Most of his big controversies are due to bad practice of an employee and hes owned it and corrected it. The rest are due to his Spicy takes on the WAN show where he gives the ‘ceo perspective’ on consumer issues.

Thing is, this kind of content is already out there. Shoutout to the professional and amateur psychologists of youtube that dispense “Psych tips” all day, every day.

Delivering wholesome content, yet still somehow managing to fuck it up in some greedy way.
