Gotta love these videos… they can be summarized as follows:
“I hate Windows so I will try Linux with no prep… Linux is not identical to Windows in x, y, z and therefore Linux is still deficient… Looks like I cannot do everything I could think of without reading a single line of documentation, conclusion, LiNUx iS nOT ReADy!”
You haven’t watched this video, then ;)
I did… he tosses out a ton of misinformation about how hard Linux is. The fact he decided to “stay and endure the hardship” doesn’t mean the message he is pushing is sadly misinformed
Don’t be too quick to judge yet, he just doesn’t know what he doesn’t know.
Totally get it… but sadly, other people who follow him would listen to his vids and conclude “Linux is too inconvenient for me” based on mistaken info
I’m not so sure we’ve seen the end of his Linux videos. I’m sure he will learn more and talk about it.
“linux is hard” is a subjective opinion and he is entitled to it. it does not make it misinformation. he is free to express his frustrations at the learning curve, just like any learning curve in any other software.
I agree, but there is a big difference in saying “I don’t know what to do, I need to learn this new thing” vs “there is a scary part to Linux and there is no way around it”
Saying “driving manual is hard” is fine, saying “you need to learn to shift gears without a clutch to drive” is wrong and would scare potential drivers
At like 5x speed
However, this guy has actually switched to Linux, and is willing to adapt and learn how to use it.
Sure. And hopefully he can post a follow up video where he correct the misinformation on this first one
