    Also, their PC component tesing methods (watch gamersnexus about that) some of their Videos are literal advertising

    Or, as a prime example: linus has made multiple videos intentionally trying to make Linux look bad, by doing things like loading up SteamOS on unsupported hardware or generally doing things the wrong way, failing at it horribly, and saying that, because he was unable to google and had to do stupid shit, Linux is not good.

    Those videos show everything wrong in 1 compact format:

    • doing no/bad research

    • sending slop out to the internet without correcting themselves

    • not correcting themselves when called out

    • generally acting in bad faith

    • except when they’re being payed by dyson or some other product manufacturer to make a blatant ad, of course

    I am not asking for them to be perfect at Linux. I’m just asking one of the biggest tech media groups to do a very simple thing, that being correcting or even just mentioning easily accessible information, for example a simple

    • hey guys, editor from the off, apparently, SteamOS is only made for the steamdeck and not for full nvidia GPUs. If you want to use Linux on one of these, use a general distribution

    Just imagine a Bringus studios receipt printer gaming video, but instead he blames Windows for not booting 64 bit
