Not really true at all. If all you care about is raw performance, then that's debatable, but if you're talking ease of use then Linux is fine. Just grab a distro with an Nvidia ISO like pop_os and install, nothing else left to do.

    This is a terrible apology video, what the fuck Linus...I hope they make another video regarding the sexual assault allegations. This is just in bad taste...I mean we're talking almost blizzard levels of sexual harassment and assault stopping short of driving someone to suicide. Fuck these guys and their channel I hope they go under and get buried.

    Wow, that's a wild point of view. Thank you for sharing, that's actually really fascinating to see things from another perspective. Unfortunately I don't think I would ever agree to follow in those world views, but I respect your right to believe them and that's realistically what both sides need to achieve, mutual respect. So thanks.

    EndeavourOS, it just works really well and never breaks. The only time I had an issue was when I was using the Zen kernel and it locked up installing league of legends and watching a YouTube video at the same time. Using the mainline kernel though gives me no issues.

    You can choose not to answer and I respect that, I've seen you guys post around here a lot. While I have in the past tried to avoid those conversations, I've simply never given any of you a chance to speak your mind. Do I believe there are people on lemmy that just want to troll? Absolutely! There's people like that everywhere, I'm simply trying to understand your perspective because I've never engaged in the subject, now I'm intrigued. I've gotten to a point where I just have to know what drives you and why. Answer if you want or ignore me, I won't harass you about it. I'm just trying to give you a chance to speak and explain so I can better understand. There's no trickery here, I promise.

    Can I ask you something? And this is me being genuine here, because I'm clearly out of the loop, but what is it about communism that you think is really great? Just forget about the capitalist propaganda comments, I want your genuine opinion, why is it great and what drew you to it?

    I mean, you kinda prove my point, they probably grew too fast, realized they need more money and are now chasing profit. Linus did it to himself, now corporate greed is stepping in because his way simply wasn't working and he recognized he sucks at running the company. Now they're putting out rushed videos with inaccurate numbers and benchmarks to chase those profits. Like I said, it's clear what's happening.

    I'm not buying that, there's probably a little bit of truth in there, but honestly it's pretty clear what's happening. The higher ups require a certain amount of videos a week to be profitable, if they don't meet that quota then they're not making money or they think they're not making money. They're also pretty clearly favoring their sponsors and reviewing their products positively without showing actual credible benchmarks. It's the sign of corporate greed creeping in once again and someone finally called out their bullshit. Linus isn't taking it very well, and I can imagine why when someone you thought to be a friend or colleague is now calling you out with credible evidence that you're just bullshitting around and half-assing the product you build from the ground up.
