    Why would we want a “heres how to switch to linux right” from ltt? Even the big linux youtubers get roasted for making those videos incorrectly.

      That video wouldn’t be for us. Also, the videos as they are are getting roasted heavily already, so it’s not like that’s gonna stop them.

        Its pretty well received. I think only the fringe parts of the linux community who love linux but dont understand it are getting upset.

          Maybe we have different expectations on roasting levels then. I’m particularly thinking of all the comments making fun of Linus doing a fresh install at a LAN event, picking PopOS again, setting himself up to fail changing all his devices at once to one distro constrained by handheld support, etc. For an honest followup advice video, I’d expect them to consult with someone like Wendell first, so I wouldn’t actually expect it to be a bad video.
