This Linus failed to install Linux multiple times, but is somehow a prominent tech influencer.

My first introduction to him is when he had like a PetaByte of data on a huge array that wasent backed up, and then managed to physically drop it somehow?

As i recall actual tech youtubers flew out and helped him recover data off of it.

Dropping things has been his specialty since he dropped an early prototype of the RX480 at a trade show event. I'm still not sure if he's really that clumsy or if he intentionally drops things for entertainment value, but he drops an awful lot of things.

To be fair, I am also a clumsy son of a bitch and have dropped quite a few expensive items that I have purchased with my own money

lmao, the duality of Linus

He's always been an entertainer first.
