What is this referencing? In which video did this happen?
One of the Linux challenge videos. Either part 1 or 2.
The Linux community loves hating on Linus for this, but honestly, it was a bug that popos has now fixed, and the video genuinely shows how difficult Linux can be for the average user.
This exact thing actually was user error. I mean, I like my people Linus, Luke, Emily and the others like every other average tech person... But when Steam is the absolute first thing you go for after installing your OS, then, sorry, but then you have only yourself to blame. It wouldn't have happened if he checked for updates first. And, lets be real, you would do in Windows too. I mean, dunno how it's nowadays, as Win7 was my last Windows... but back then I just downloaded the most recent Win7UpdatePack from winfuture.de and slapped that on it. First thing I do after Windows installation since WinXP. Because just throwing their UpdatePack at it is WAY faster than using Windows own updater... BY HOURS!!
Personally I don't like Ubuntu based distros. Their updaters always break for me. Sooner or later it fails to update because an installed package is more up2date than expected. ...A weird issue I never had on Fedora. Linus didn't want to give Fedora a try. He didn't say why. And later he said it wasn't because of the neckbeard memes. So what's his issue anyway? Nobody knows... Aside from Yvonne maybe.
I know you went on a whole thing in the other thread but. There is a reason why Windows has automatic updates and sometimes forces a restart on you. It's because the average user never update anything. Ever.
