He picked PopOS again???
Look, I have nothing against people who prefer Pop. But the issue with Steam last time around gave me a very negative impression of it. A few months ago I organized a local Linux install party and tried giving it a chance. I could not get the damn thing to install, even after trying multiple ISOs. You can say “skill issue” but if you want a headache-free distro, which Linus very clearly does, my recommendation is to try something else. If Pop works for you, again, more power to you.

this time around, it looks like he had issues with their beta-quality new de. please just pick debian, or fedora, or something god dammit.

That was my reaction too. Its almost as if he used ChatGPT as an excuse to use POP and have a bad time.

Hey, can you say more about the Linux install party? I’d be interested in hosting something like that! Did you find or make any resources to help?

He uses Bazzite and Kubuntu in the next video.
