LTT is hidden advertising, and there is no money for that in Linux.

Most of the "tech" youtube world is based around presenting mostly useless consumer products as it was technological advancement.
Most of their SAAS advertisers could be replaced by a "docker compose up", hardware ones, most of the time are just regular tools with one or two gimmick.
The way to get money advertising on linux is by misleading business people into getting useless enterprise services.
Entreprise services are there so client companies have someone to blame contractually if there's an issue instead of themselves, that's very valuable.

You are off your rocker if you think most saas products can be replaced by docker π€£
There is a big gap between you running jellyfin in your basement and securely and reliably maintaining services.
SAAS is a scam developed by venture capital to make their otherwise nominally profitable tech gambits able to bilk clients of cash on a scale not even Barnum could fathom.

Hidden? What else is there to get from a tech illiterate channel?
Even his build guides are awful
Wouldn't advertising laptops that have Linux pre-installed work for that? Also niche hardware like the Raspberry Pi 5 for example

Even though I don't really dabble in Linux anymore. I lost all my respect for him. No, not due to this post, but the GN/Billet Labs situation, and especially the Madison situation.
I will never watch another one of his videos, there are other options.
Can't forget him being anti union as well, I also stopped watching all his content from that point onwards.
That and it rubbed me wrong when he went into small businesses to buy them out, only to ridicule all their product for being useless garbage.

People hating on linus but I'd say he's honestly done videos to help linux be in the light. Like it or not linux still has its pain points. More importantly if you want linux to have wide adoption then you'll need for manufacturers to ship them on devices and have them in store.
I hate on Linus not because he doesn't like linux, but because he is a bad boss who overworks his employees and has allegations against him.
He actually became what he hated... at least that's what he used as an excuse for quitting his day job.

The allegations are allegations. Its not against him personally but at some of his employees and they hired an independent investigator to investigate the issue. People had issue with perhaps certain things being crunchy and he walked that back and they're on a more laid back schedule now.
It did not matter if I spoke to someone with evidence of an abuse of power, or inappropriate workplace behavior, it was considered tattle taling.
I was actually called a tattle tale
I was told I was bossy, when I was trying to be assertive. (like I was asked to do)
I was told I was arguing, when I was trying to discuss my point of view.
I was told to "calm my tits", "stop being such a bitch", and other comments to similar effects.
Sounds like he runs a great company.

His videos are almost always hit pieces as he purposefully stumbles around like a drunken monkey and fails miserably every time therefore LiNuX bAd.

What was the context for this? Was he just explaining why he wasn't going to talk about how to install Linux during a video or something?
He made a video of how to build a pc and how to install the os. And basically if you choose Linux as a os you already know how to install it.
I guess it makes sense. There's probably better tutorial videos out there for it
I learnt how to install Linux from some random indian YouTube video with a terrible mic and a handful of views, but explained it perfectly to my dumbass. I tried a few bigger ones and got lost or screwed up.
Best tech tutorials are ones that use screen capture and notepad to exaplain what's going on.

Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape

What is there to know exactly? You just follow the installer and pick languages and whatnot. It's no different than installing Windows except that it's faster.
I think the main point they would present in a video is how to even get to the "follow the installer" stage. Where to download windows and how to make a bootable USB stick.

I think revisiting Linux would be great idea, but the current state isnβt that far off from what he experienced few years ago. Wayland protocols arenβt fully there yet, NVIDIA still needs some work, portals, desktops, 3rd party software and hardware support, package formats bullshitβ¦ Thereβs shit load of pending changes still being discussed, progress is being made, and even then, adoption of new solutions will take a while. It only make sense to revisit when thereβs huge technological leap. Realistically with how slow things are going sometimes, it may be the end of the decade or close before the landscape looks really different.

He actually doesn't know how to install Linux. Or anything about it in fact. In fact, he knows frightening little about the tech he talks about.

There was a time when you could learn something by watching his channel. But I unsubbed when every other episode was about his wife, his house, or some personal shit about his employees. Get the fuck out with that parasocial shit.

There's more to Linux than merely installing it though.
Yeah, but that just goes to show how little he knows-- he can't even install it right.
And when he blamed Pop!_OS for tanking his Linux Daily Driver challenge, biggest cop out ever. I had updated my Pop workstation when it happened. The issue was resolved the next day. He could have waited 24 hours and then continued his challenge unimpeded.
Actually a poser.

I can make it work, but I don't have a clear idea of what I'm doing especially with the partitions. I`m still too used to thinking in drive letters.
Once it clicks you'll think the drive letter thing is stupid. I can have 10 partitions from five different drives all seamlessly mounted on the filesystem on various paths and any program using them would be none the wiser.

There is always butthurt about him. He's a normal user and folks can't cope that Linux desktop is a mess for the average user.
XXXX year of the Linux desktop.
Linux is fantastic for running shit. It's pretty terrible for most normal users to use.
