LTT vs Google.
I’ll side with LLT on this, but that doesn’t mean I want to support their channel.
Why? What did LTT do?
Out of the loop on this.
Other than the stuff already mentioned here, people (probably fairly accurately) thought Linus was a salesman douche with no real knowledge of computers back in the NCIX days.
It was partially true, he was basically a warehouse manager who happened to get lucky making a successful youtube channel which he turned into his own media business after NCIX died.
But that's what the key term is. It's Linus Media Group. Their top goal is to create content that generates views for revenue, and not content that might be useful or takes a lot of effort to do.
Which is why you will almost never see any heavy IT people watching his videos. There are so many examples of people running entire data centers in their house better than LMG could do with actual budget, server space, and hardware. They used to use windows server for everything because they didn't have anyone who knew linux lol.
Obviously a Windows bad. Nothing else expected.
Because obviously this is the year of Linux desktop.
But yes, Windows sometimes is annoying. But so is Linux and it's ton of distros.
Doesnt prevent me from using best of both worlds.
Tell me you haven't worked with servers without telling me you haven't worked with servers.
I do and had a very annoying evening last weeks friday.
Windows server is notoriously terrible compared to Linux on a server. Most tech people (even those who happily run Windows on their desktops) know this.
The parent's comment isn't about "Windows bad" or "this is the year of the Linux desktop" it's about a group of people cosplaying as tech wizards when they use laughably bad software to run their business because they lack technical expertise.
buddy, even Microsoft doesn't use windows on their servers. https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux
