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.

The older Lunduke gets, the more he’s convinced about being right on everything, therefore the more rubbish he has to say.

I miss the era of 10 minute videos. Nowadays, everything is either 50 second long or 3 hours.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

They video is way too long and he stays too long on some topics but he's right. He doesn't deserve the downvotes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I won't even watch 10 minutes. Video is really a huge time waster.

You can't 2.25 (which makes it last about 33.5 mins) or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I typed that comment while I was on the toilet last night 7 minutes before my bedtime. So no, I can’t simply put a video into chipmunk mode and watch for an unscheduled 30 minutes. That’s longer than the actual 25 minute show my wife and I watched in bed.

Man, I haven't seen a pony in the wild in ages.

It's never too late for ponies!

It really has the vibe of an hbomberguy video. I also feel the background is a subtle tribute to his style.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He confirmed in the premiere chat that the broken wallpaper is a direct hbomberguy reference.

(I found it at 19:15, though I'm not sure why I went looking)

There were basically three big tech guys I remember from my younger years.

LTT, who’s not bad. Not a Linux guy, but I don’t hold that against him. Also kinda late to the party, but only cause he’s around my age.

Chris Pirillo, who kinda disappeared for a while, but now makes great YouTube content.

Then there’s Lunduke. What an asshole. I tried to watch one of his Linux Sucks videos last year and it was just boring and really dumb takes over and over. I didn’t even know he’s a right wing conspiracy theorist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

May u elaborate on the allegation where he is a conspiracy theorist?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You should watch the video.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Mb, seems like he's a really deep down into antivac and Jan 10 rabbit hole.

I went to bed late last night because of this video! Nicco is a wonderful content creator, there's very little fluff in his videos and he clearly put a lot of time and research into it. Historically it's very interesting and we really should be putting effort into taking down Lunduke who is a right-wing piece of shit. I followed him a few weeks ago not knowing about him and after watching a video I was like "what the fuck is this shit?" and unfollowed him, but other Linux people might fall for it - this video will be a great resource to send to people who do fall for it.

""Linux Sucks" Sucks" Sucks. Here's why.

j/k nicco is good people

I don't understand the people who say it's long, like no it isn't, 1:15:24 is a completely reasonable (if not even a bit short) time for the topic.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

They just don't want to watch it. Length is not really an argument.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Feature length film bruh. I could be watching half of return of the king instead.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternatives.

Linux sucks, so make it better.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Everyone has their own opinion of how to make it better, so instead of pooling resources and compromising on a single product that advances fast, developers branch off and make nearly identical things with slight configuration differences. It’s the beauty and the ugliness of Linux.

Lunduke may be correct about of things, but he doesn't even touch the surface on the current desktop bullshit.
