Because of his name, I thought he was a pro-Linux channel. I was swiftly disappointed.
No, he's pro blanket!
I have nothing clever to say here, so normally I'd let my upvote express my feelings, but that feels inadequate in this case. I just wanted to use my words to let you know that this comment amused me a great deal and to thank you.
He once bricked his OS during a "run Linux for a week" challenge. He tried to do
apt install steamor something and ignored a bunch of warnings. Of course he then bashed Linux because he didn't pay attentionYeah, I didn't see that video, but I recall reading about it. Apparently the package manager warned him that something would be potentially destructive and he ignored the warning, then blamed Linux for it when it was destructive.
I mean the easiest name so you can't really go for him for that.
I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here, so I apologize if I'm misinterpreting, but - while I have many potential complaints about Linus - I don't blame him for his name resembling the word "Linux."
