CONCLUSION: I will stop watching them since all of these alligations and “false?” hardware testing makes me not wanna support them. Even if most of them aren’t true, i don’t want to risk it

ive heard some mixed things about ltt so i want to know if theyre actually bad or not

and im not watching them for linux help, i just like the content, but i also dont want to support a bad person

    Presumably you can point me to a specific video, since you seem so completely sure of it. I’m not scrubbing through potentially hours of footage to try to find something that I don’t think exists.

    As for your suggestion that he just reviews what he’s paid to do, sure, that seems plausible. I’m not trying to argue that it’s an impartial channel and people should be watching him. You certainly don’t need to defend a decision to not watch it.

      Of course I can, because obviously I keep track of links to videos of channels I have blocked years ago.
      Idiot!!!

      Use you own eyes from now on if you watch his crap. And maybe you will spot the problems yourself if you have a brain.

        Falling back to insults when you can’t provide a source isn’t terribly convincing.

        I can at least provide examples of them stating directly the opposite.

        I use Adobe Premiere for editing, and one of the many fun ways that Adobe is kind of ass is that it just doesn’t work on Linux.

        • Luke, “My Linux Curse is NOT Over… But It’s Getting BETTER - Pt.2 Linux 30 Day Challenge 2026”, emphasis mine

        Adobe is very clearly the party being blamed here, not linux.

        Also:

        The Proton compatibility layer has made incredible progress. Even actually during our last couple of months, it’s improved a lot. But it can’t do anything about developers who block their games on Linux.

        From “I Can’t Go Back To Windows”, again emphasis mine. Again very clearly laying the blame at the developers of the incompatible software.

          I have no idea what you are quoting, as you never cite or link any source??? “I can’t go back to Windows” is not a source?

          Yes insults are appropriate when faced with moronic claims that what I write never happened unless I can provide evidence.
          I know what I saw and I shared it here. You can believe it or not, just be sure to pay attention, and if you want to buy anything based on his advertising videos, be sure to double check his info, because LTT is not trustworthy. If you think he is, you are very very ignorant and naive.

          Edit:
          OK I opened a private window and I am watching the video now, clearly they have changed their mind, so now Linux is stellar and Microsoft is the “bad” guy.

          Interesting that the video you reference, Linus actually admit that he made mistakes in the review 4 years back.
          Also interesting how he has turned 180° on freaking almost every single issue on Linux vs. Windows.
          The reason for that of course is that he was basically wrong about everything he thought he knew about Linux.
          Also interesting that he now consider freedom a feature, something he completely failed to understand previously, for instance when Skyrim was supposed to have paid mods.
          Where Linus completely failed to understand the criticism of that.

          IMO he is still a moron, but a slightly better informed moron.
          The reason he was berated was because he was a moron, it is not our job of any community to embrace him and be nice to him when he is spreading basic falsehoods and misunderstandings.
