Well the only one who seemed to actually like Linux at LTT was ~~Anthony(don't know her new name)~~ Emily. Once she went to the background after her gender transition, enthusiastic Linux coverage more or less disappeared
Linus mentioned that Emily (her new name) has been internally pushing for a Linux gaming revisit on a recent Wan Show, so hopefully something comes of that.
Also an upcoming tech upgrade video will be for someone who's switching to Linux.
I honestly hope they don't do another dumb Linux challenge. Linus and Luke both have pre-prepared excuses why a conversion to Linux will fail, for them personally. Stuff like "we can't run Photoshop" level shit. Dumb "no shit Sherlock" type nonsense.
That means they won't actually try, they'll just "do it for the content" and give up again after a month or whatever. The videos will be well done but will ultimately conclude that "Linux still isn't ready for us" and they'll leave a bitter taste in any real Linux user's mouth, because their excuses will be pathetic and the efforts put in will be demonstrably minimal.
The part you are missing is that they are making content that aligns with the majority of their audience. Most people will put in a similar level of effort. Most people don't care, they just want it to work with the least effort possible.
