Linus (LTT) argues that despite middling gaming performance, the Steam Machine excels as a compact desktop workstation thanks to the seamless and user-friendly experience provided by SteamOS. (www.youtube.com)

So despite all the controversy about LTT. If we can put that aside for a moment. I do think this is in general good advertising for Linux. LTT does have a very large audience. And a lot of "normie" users that watch as well. He's Linux choices and info could defiantly use some improvements though.

    Except the part where they are happy to slander all and any Linux distros because they are too stupid to rtfm.

    The only reason they are speaking of steamOS now is bevcause thats the current trend. The same way when Mint was the trend. The same way when zorin... Garuda... You get it.

    the only thing i don't get is why they were speaking about popOS so much? is popOS really that big of a distro?

    Nope.

    The only reason is that they have a download for nvidia button on the first page.

    And if you don't have the motivation to search „distro xy nvidia” and copy paste the 2 or 3 commands to do it (or in the case of mint or Ubuntu do it via GUI) its simply easier to rave about a feature thats advertised on the website than to look for another 5 minutes and realise that its the norm.

    Or in non Linux terms: it's easier to look at the packaging of the $5 bottle and say its the best because it says leak proof than to try the $5 Aluminium isolating coffee cup from recycled Metal and anti spill over opening and actually make a fair comparison
