LTT has made some severe anti-FOSS videos in the past. I don't really trust them. It looks like they're doing things just for views
I don't care for LTT anymore after the whole Gamer's Nexus thing. I wasn't invested in either channel, I occasionally watched LTT, but it was exceedingly obvious that Linus fucked up management of his company to the point where it actually unjustly damaged a small company.
yeah, I'm not a fan of theirs, but in this one case I'll take a fairly informative video that covers the basics, regardless of the motivation. they've got a huge reach so many people will be made aware of alternatives to Google, which is nice. they cover some choices there that I'm not a fan of, but I still like that the topic is making its way to mainstream more.
The Linux gaming challenge series is the first thing that comes to mind
Those videos were not anti-FOSS. It was an honest look into the state of gaming on Linux that even the experts begrudgingly agreed with. If you listen to Linus' personal views on Linux, he's rooting for an alternative to Windows and Mac.
