From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would say that needlessly shitting on things is the most defining characteristic of YouTube comments
I guess you don't visit youtube then. Because its comments are mainly memes (like 95% of it), reference to some funny moments in the video or additional info related to it
You're right that I try to avoid YouTube, partially due to its well earned reputation for having toxic comments, but mainly due to the fact that 99% of its content is trash I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But sure everyone is wrong. yt comments are fine and so was your whining here
If you spend your time on youtube shorts or trending sure it's thrash. But I mainly watch math and science contents which is sometimes better than real courses and there is an uncountable quantity of knowledge on there
