But.. and hear me out here... what if I instead buy two expensive edition pillows to spruce up the couch that I got for a steal? And I probably should get a couple of screwdrivers for presents for people. Yeah, I think I'll do that. Maybe gift a floatplane subscription or two. And some gift cards. Because fuck you.

I was just looking over protonDB and I think I might give Linux another try. I've also swapped out my Nvidia hardware, and sometime next week I'm going from a i9-9900k to a 7800x. But one thing you said that I wish you'd look at closer is "Since I dumped all the NVidia hardware". They have the largest market share of cards, so having errors with them does make Linux less appealing. You can talk all the shit you want about Nvidia (And you should, fuck them) but that doesn't change that if Linux is hard to use on Nvidia hardware... then what's a person to do? Switching to Linux becomes something that's only really realistic if you're looking to build new or upgrade so much that you're replacing all offending hardware. Is that a reasonable ask of someone who just wants to try it? A free software set?

Fatigue is real. There gets a point in troubleshooting something that should be simple that you get irritated and start making mistakes. He said at the beginning his goal was the common user experience. He did a pretty damn valiant job wading through mundane frustrations to try and get something work that he was used to just always having work. It's a spectrum with Linux and other random OS's on the "Hard" side, Windows being a large section of the middle because it can be both, and Apple on the "easy" side. I wish there was a Linux distro that worked with the hardware I ran, and maybe it will after I do my upgrade. I really only use my computer for gaming though and Linux has been difficult to make work for that.

I did the Linux challenge along with them. I ran into issues neither of them did. I had to reevaluate all my peripherals because they would start cutting out (Cal-digital Thunderbolt dock, Logitech keyboard/mouse/microphone/webcam). I ran into issues with games I wanted to play not working (Apex Legends namely, but there were actually a few). I had instability issues that plagued the machine till I removed it. Went back to Windows and haven't looked back. They took is as seriously as they could, but Linux is what Linux is. At work, we use Linux on our machines and universally it's hated by the engineers here. What it boils down to is a use case as they stated in the video. I'm happy for you that you have the very niche use case that Linux is working for but the video conclusion still stands that it's use case specific. Also, complaining about click-bait again? It's just the title. It didn't change the content. They do it because it works. If they stop doing clickbait there will be like 30 more neckbeards who watch again and they lose a substantial chunk of their viewers. So long live the clickbait, it gives them the funding to keep making content.

I'm always surprised when I come across someone that has twitter. I feel like more often then not the only time I hear twitter mentioned in person it's a person deleting it. That said, I swung by LS's twitter and couldn't see anything because they locked it down so hard (The platform, not his account). What's it look like over there?

I just read it as a continuation of the joke.

It's pretty rare they have a joke so bad it's cringy, but almost every time they do it's Riley, and he delivers it so well AND cringes/calls out who wrote it, that it actually adds to the video overall. So sorry if not every single joke lands for you. Maybe you need to shrink your bubble so you don't see things that offend you?

If anyone leaves it'll be a result of abusive community backlash. Internally, they're weathering a storm out here. It's never as bad as the mole-hill into a mountain crowd makes it seem. If anyone gets fired, it wouldn't be due to financial reasons. I can imagine that the harassment probe might find someone who developed bad habits and stuck with them. The challenging part of that to predict from the outside is you can't always judge a book by its cover. So it might be one or two people we haven't seen at all, or it might be Linus himself. Or it might be you!

I think they all work together incredibly well. I'm excited to see what they can do when given more time, which is what this whole thought experiment is anyway, right?

I want to see Linus, Luke, Terran, and Yvonne all on wan show and everyone has this button in front of them and it drops a bucket of water on Linus or something. Maybe shoots him with feathers.

I wanted to do my own writeup, but legit this is everything I was going to say and more. I think the only thing I'd add is that Billet labs has a silver lining which is they converted their prototype into money. I wish I could do that with my failed prototypes.

The first time I built a nice computer I was super excited to put all the stickers that came with all the parts I got. It was one of the last things I did after spending the night building and formatting and getting my steam library set up so I didn't take the time to make sure they were level and well-spaced. I woke up in the morning and looked at the stickers and was horrified. I did such a shit job, I got the goo-gone and cleaned them off, and have never put stickers on again. To this day I avoid stickers unless the goal is sticker bomb.

I'm sorry man. I was hoping you were in the same boat I was. I was at the end of my wits trying to figure it out.

You ever get this fixed?

Ok, let me be clearer: I had an issue with my games stuttering on an i9-9900k/3090 and it was really selective on what games it would stutter on. After a shit ton of troubleshooting I found it was related to my mouse polling rate. 1000hz polling rate/windows 10/Z370 era boards have this issue. So I asked what your mouse is. My suggestion which takes almost no time is to lower the polling rate of your mouse to 500hz or even lower just to see if that makes a difference. Good luck.
