Hi there Linus! My name is Nye and I live in Wales, UK. I love your channel and I was wondering if you could give me a laptop. I need a laptop as my acer aspire one netbook (1.6GHz atom and 1gb DDR2) just can't keep up (even with crunchbag linux) I use alot of linux and it's a shame that my netbook overheats opening a video. Thanks for reading.

Begging for something on the forum is not allowed, and I doubt Linus would even give away a laptop because you're "broke." If you're alive and well, save money. Get a job. Earn it.

You think just because you ask, makes you deserve it more than all the people who don't even have a computer or aren't even eating today?

And I want a computer that has the capability to run a web browser that's not internet explorer, but we don't always get what we want.

Linus has hundreds of thousands of viewers and I'm willing to bet that a vast majority of them are like you, broke. If Linus were to give a laptop to everyone who asked he wouldn't even be able to afford to keep the lights on. Sorry to burst your bubble, but odds are Linus won't even have time to read your post. And even if he did see this post, I can guarantee he wouldn't give you anything.

Nah, we all know he has one. Why do you think he has kids?

 

He's drowning over there.

Yes, because a person that joins a tech forum and then asks the owner for stuff right off the bat isn't weird at all...

It helps if you call them. Temp agencies are a good place to start too.
