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.
Remember that time when he uninstalled his desktop environment? :D
Yes, do as i say
"This prototype water cooler is bullshit, it doesn't work" as he has it improperly mounted on the wrong hardware
As someone who has sometimes watched wan show etc, it's actually quite obvious that he actually knows quite a lot. The problem is that their channel covers so many topics that it's almost impossible for one single person to have in-depth knowledge about all of them. Hence they have a writing team and Linus is more often than not, just a host.
None of that is an excuse for the issues in their videos for sure, but as long as they realize the problem and work to fix it, it's all good imo and their recent releases schedule is a good indicator that they have taken it quite seriously, as they no longer force themselves to upload daily.
I also quite like a few of their writers, they also host and those are often the most fun videos to watch these days.
I can't self-report what industry I'm in without potentially doxxing myself, but I can assure you he knows a lot less than he lets on.
I don't care what variety of topics they have, a respectable techie and creator would know how to admit when they are inexperienced with something. Linus does not. And he cannot admit he's wrong unless he can somehow spin it to make him look more likeable.
If you are seriously passionate about tech, save yourself the heartache and find a new creator/influencer. If you are just there for the content, enjoy it while there is still some element to it that is enjoyable. They are not on a sustainable trajectory.
