    Explanation: The guy on the right is Linus Sebastian, a tech youtuber running a fairly large media company. I’d characterize their output as being a mixture of news, reviews and Top Gear style fucking around with tech.

    A couple weeks ago he sent Linus Torvalds an e-mail, asking him if he’d like to do some sort of collaboration - mainly because of the name and because he’s a personal hero of his. Torvalds quickly responded, telling him that it would have to be a “there can only be one” type situation, like in Highlander or Mad Max.

    So they shot something where they most are just chatting while building a computer together but did the bit for the intro. The video is not released yet.

    Linuses takes aren’t always the best, and he can be pretty polarizing. But for fun and relaxation, his videos are good. He often plays the role of the average, non-tech-savvy user—someone who genuinely doesn’t know better. The same goes for his “Linux Experiment.” I think it’s important for Linux to reach more average PC users and gamers

      The entertainment value of LTT is there.

      And also some informational. I don’t care about the drama and don’t think Linus is a saint or shit. The videos are good usually. The rest I don’t bother.

      And the other one is is a genius, almost saint with anger issues and an enormous enrichment for the world community.

      Forgive me if I sound ignorant, I don’t follow the news around LTT that closely.

      Didn’t the independent review fail to find any proof of workplace harassment?

      Or is there a new scandal or update I don’t know about?

        I don’t follow this either, but devils advocate, a review would find no wrongdoing without evidence beyond someones word. But just because something isn’t provable, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. At my workplace there is a tenured professor that has been harassing people into quitting for 30 years, and they still don’t have “evidence” beyond someones word, not enough to get around tenure. If they were forced to give a statement they would likely say no wrongdoing.
