My suspicion is that they either were pressed by government to demand that data, or they wanted to terminate contracts at fault of the client.

So power users can’t use GUI?

It optional, for power users. That the point.

Go install TempleOS

PopOS has been a good recommendation in the past

I dismissed it at the start years ago when I saw tutorial with some terminal wizardry supposed to enable gamepads over Bluetooth. I was right. Gaming distro my ass.

Linus isn’t the average Joe here Linus isn’t but his audience is. If you think hes going to do a linux propaganda piece just to stroke your ego, you’re mistaken.

He did a good reasearch. He researched what average user will get recommended, and tested it. What else you want? It’s actual linux experience. He also had somone tested Bazzite, and it was different experience. You’re all foaming really because Linux has shit community that year after year shills dogshit distros to the point of ChatGPT picking it up. GG

He emulated an absolute moron

So average user.

Why TF did he choose Pop! OS with Cosmic Desktop‽

Because he emulated an average user and asked ChatGPT. And everyone hates him for trying to look at things from non expert perspective now.

The part of the video that’s unspoken is that he spends most of his time trashing Pop!_OS

It’s Pop!_OS that trashes itself in front of the camera. You people were recommending it for gaming for years, then Linus shown the actual experience.

And now you ignore, that LTT vid had shown Bazzite expreince as well, but boo hoo, Pop is bad therefore Linus bad, we hate LTT together.

Linux has worst, most tribal community in any sense possible. Any criticism ends up with hate and silent downvotes.

.ml stands for marxist-lenninist. Why are you even there?

What if you buy your child a VPN that is outside of UK?
