Thanks to Meter for sponsoring this video! Go to http://meter.com/ltt to book a demo now!It is time to Try Linux ONE MORE TIME. Linus, Luke, and Elijah all s...
He is but he actually did nothing wrong. Nothing he did this time was unreasonable from a user perspective. All the faults this time were with linux(system76 and valve).
The left 4 dead 2 thing could have been fixed by running the game through Proton, as the native Linux port of thegame is less than stellar. Helldivers 2 is Helldivers 2, and honestly I wish LS just did a bit more research on PopOS to know that it switched to COSMIC (or just right out the bat didn’t make ChatGPT choose a distro for him by regurgitating those awful listicles with outdated info), and maybe, just maybe, reconsidered installing an OS at a LAN party. I’m sorry but if you’re installing an OS at a LAN party and let alone trying to troubleshoot things while people are waiting for you on a match, everyone will laugh at you.
However I will give LS the benefit of the doubt on Cosmic, that windows duplication bug was insane. idk how System76 decided Cosmic is ready for release now. They could have at least put it up as a second download option with a short disclaimer alongside the GNOME version or something.
Elijah and Luke did way better imho. They actually went onto the internet, chose the distro after a little bit of thread hunting and a little research, and tried their best to troubleshoot their problems.
I know how he could of fixed things thats not the point. The point is these are linux issues that I dont fault a new user for running into.
He didnt need to do more research the video shows 3 different approaches, searching/ai, searching reddit, having basic experience from immersion.
If he had gone and picked something no user would ever pick maybe I’d have an issue but popOS is still commonly picked and recommended and its fine for him to bring to attention how shit it is for new users.
Overall I think the video was linux positive and I’m expecting the whole series to show linux favourably. I’m hoping the community reaction to ep1 doesnt change that. Theyve been insufferable.
