    They are going the way normies would, which includes asking the LLM of choice for a recommendation. But as they just regurgitate listicles inhaled from the web, that is what you get.

    This is the “defense” they use, but I don’t think it holds up. LTT knows exactly how the internet works, how SEO garbage is a massive internet problem, has nothing to do with Linux, and that nobody in the Linux community could ever possibly fix this. He’s the one with a megaphone and the ability to guide users towards good resources and offset those problems, but instead he plays the usual clown role to create his own low-effort clickbait and memes. I don’t think it’s some anti-Linux bias or anything like that, just regular influencer attention-whoring.

    The guy installing Bazzite seemed like the only one genuinely representative of what the video was trying to do (Luke didn’t count IMO since apparently he was already a Linux user), but I think Linus’s clown show steals the spotlight. Like, he literally tried to install it in the middle of a LAN party while people were waiting for him to start the game. WTF
