For people who don't watch the video but read the commentary here. CBC found that "faceless" YouTube entrepreneurs have been churning out disengenuous content. They seemingly have no ties to governments or businesses with ulterior motives, instead they are just chasing revenue and posting stuff that gets views.

What I don't think the video does a good enough job of though is explaining that algorithms monetise rage bait and thereby amplify fringe viewpoints.

    I'm currently trying to decide between CatchyOS and Nobara.

    I'm sorry to be generating another of this kind of conversation as I can see they are getting pretty tedious. But you see I'm finally getting ready to take the plunge and try Linux again (after a brief encounter in the early 2000s).

    I'm a gamer and I care a lot about gaming but I'm also a game dev. I need to be able to use Unreal Engine, Blender, Gaea, and other dev tools. My understanding is that something like Bazzite isn't right for me there.

    So I've been looking at CatchyOS and Nobara. I've read their documentation and so far leaning toward CatchyOS. But sometimes people say Nobara is easier to use. I am not afraid of a command line, but frankly I don't tinker with my computer for fun. I get in and get what I need set up so I can get back to making things.

    So what do you all think?
