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.

haha this will make for some great content
He's just used to the warnings in Windows... now he knows Linux is NEVER EVER kidding when it says "you're on your own on this buddy 🙌" 🤣.
Mac: "we don't do that here"
Windows: "preeeeettttty sure you don't want to do that one bud"
Linux: "here is your gun. Aim, steady, shoot, that simple .... why are you aiming it at your foot? Ya know what, IDC glhf"
Exactly! 👍 🤣
The weapons are as good as they come, but do be careful where you aim.
Also couldn't he have just downloaded steam from its website?
I admit to not really knowing anything much about the guy. I found out about him through reddit when people mentioned Linus in a context that just didn't make sense (because as we all know, there's really only one Linus). I never watched any of his stuff either. I'm more into text than video.
He's no different from anyone you can go talk to who works in computer repair / IT.
That's how i first know who he is. I just still think of him just like a regular guy from my area but that got super famous online
But i was a customer at NCIX where he formally worked so I've met him before he was famous and in a very different context than you so no surprise.
But im sure he is a very different person almost 20 years later like anyone would be.
(Just sharing with you not arguing or anything!)
It has a learning curve, no doubt there, but once you're passed it, it really isn't that hard IMO.
But yes, under the hood, it's a completely different beast compared to Windows. But, one of the many things I like about it are, everything is fixed, installed, patched, debugged from a single app, the terminal. I'm sorry, I'm just way past the point of playing cat and mouse with MS. And they always have some next thing lined up in their arsenal to take even more privilges away from the user. Sorry, that's just not me any more. It was bad enough we had to do it with their "LTSC" versions (Windows before Windows 10), now they change shit every update and I'm supposed to find ways to circumvent that every few months 🤨. I got to the point where I had more software installed that circumvented this or that feature in Windows, than I had real software installed that I was supposed to actually use for every day work. It's just not something I like doing any more. I got tired and I'd rather invest my time in something constructive.
I don't think Windows is suitable as a daily driver for most people's personal computers. For some business seeking MS support.... maybe.
No, I absolutely agree that it isn't. Businesses? Maybe, but your everyday Joe, no.
But, on the other hand, the Windows logo is all they know, so you change that with something else in the app (start) menu and they start freaking out 😱.
Yep, it's one thing to have it, but you actually use a lot of os tools
