I tried to give this video a real chance, but it's just... really bad.
Their first main point, as best as I can tell through the fluff, is that choice is actually bad because choices have pros and cons - their example being desktop environments. I don't think I need to explain why this is a bizarre take; that's the point of choice. It's like saying the whole concept of choosing an ice cream flavor is a joke because you don't like chocolate ice cream.
Then they start talking about using outdated packages in Linux. Which, as should be clear to everyone after a few seconds of thought, isn't an inherently bad thing in all situations, despite their anecdote about having to use an outdated version of software with a memory leak. Amusingly they say you should keep everything 100% updated all the time because breakage basically never happens (and that updates breaking things is a myth perpetuated by Microsoft) then say Arch Linux is prone to breakage. The real kicker is that this whole point of theirs not only has nothing to do with 'choice on Linux being a joke', choice is actually the solution to this problem - being able to choose stability vs cutting edge is a core part of Linux. They actually say if you want stability you should choose a distro focused on stability.
Then they talk about how proprietary software often doesn't support Linux. Which sucks and is a valid reason not to use Linux, but has little to do with the central thesis of the video (as much as it has one) and is just a pointless snipe at low-hanging fruit.
The video is generic pop clickbait composed from a mix of tired criticisms and complete nonsense. It's a meaningless collection of ideas and gripes that neither contribute to the larger conversation nor serve to educate people.
Glad you watched it, so that I don't have to see trash.
Choice of cars is a JOKE. Here's why.
All cars are bad. Get an ebike
So Linux doesn't work for your use case or you're not interested in the benefits vs the extra time and effort. So what? Us "old fogies" are enjoying it fine.
I could watch 2 seconds before realizing it is a vtuber. Promptly blocked.
what does being a vtuber have to do with that
when someone goes on a market with his real face, he will probably assign at least few of his brain cells to what he will say before he actually opens his mouth.
similar to difference when people discuss under real name and anonymous nickname.
in both cases it is not a rule carved in stone, but in both cases there is clear trend.
ok boomer
It is a hard pill to take.
