Yes, freedom is so "overwhelming". Funny how, though, you don't say that PCs are "overwhelming" because there's so many models and options, from different manufacturers, available. Even though it's basically the same thing: anyone can create an "IBM PC compatible" if they want to and many people do. Anyone can package together the Linux kernel with a desktop environment and various apps and many people do. Because you can package an OS different ways for different purposes / priorities. So it's weird that Linus loves building weird and wacky PCs, but then installs "the One Ring(TM) OS" on them all. p.s. You'll mock comments about Linux distros, but where's the similar criticism of comments if someone's posting "AMD Ryzen is better than Intel" or "water cooling beats air cooling" and so forth? SAME THING. Dumb Linux distros? Exactly the same thing as the stupid PC builds you do, making a PC out of cardboard or whatever. SAME THING.

Linus, I need you to read this comment. Vinux is a very old distro that no one who is blind (like myself) or visually impaired uses any more. Most distrobutions are now accessible right out of the box, and support braille displays. You are correct that braille displays are expensive though. I would like to truthfully say, "I use Arch, by the way." I would like to add, "I also have no sight, and set it up on my own." I just want to let you and others know that most distrobutions are now accessible, and that almost no blind person I know uses Vinux. Some desktop environments are inaccessible, so inaccessibility is still a challenge. It would be nice if more developers payed attention to accessibility on all operating systems and applications.

Stellarium is genuinely a really cool application. Yeah you can check on the sky as it appears at your location at that moment, but its also extremely zoomable, it can also show you historical and future positions of stars, constellations, moons, planets, comets and such. If you wanna know what the night sky looked like the day you were born, or wanted to see the moon zip across the screen and infront of the sun on the next solar eclipse you can absolutely do that. Growing up not wealthy and living in a very light polluted area, Stellarium was a real dope piece of software to have. My peak was in middleschool when I used a salvaged projector to throw the night sky over a (admittedly small) section of ceiling.

Nobara Linux is a distro that essentially takes Fedora and adds a ton of kernel and driver tweaks that would probably be too verbose for the average user to install; they’re geared toward gaming performance and modern hardware stuff like HDR and they actually achieve decent results. It’s developed by the same guy that makes Proton-GE (Glorious Eggroll) and it is kept as up-to-daye as it could ever be. It also has a custom steam install with more performance tweaks, and comes with some other preinstalled apps and drivers and such. I will note that generally, one wouldn’t want to run things like UwUntu on their genuine main computer due to only having 2 maintainers that might quit at any point, but people generally regard Nobara as fine for production due to how close to stock it is an the reputation of the maintainer.

excellent choice friend Welcome to the Penguin Club!

Maintaining a Linux distribution was my day job! If you're fine with keeping it close to stock like the Uwuntu, it's a relatively simple venture of changing the preseed configuration and building a disk image. If you're looking for deeper integration, you will need to build some custom packages/scripts/repos, but can still depend on up-streams to provide security updates. If you go this path, I'd recommend giving back by providing mirrors or financial support for the project(s) you depend on. If you really want to get into it, you can use more leading-edge up-streams like Fedora/Debian/Arch as a base and build your own packages, but I wouldn't start there! If you're serious about this and want to setup a FOSS project, I'd love to help!

It'd be nice to see some nice gui applications for hardware specifics/details, gaming utilities are a must-have, practical applications, a browser, etc.

In Linus LInux, "delete" should be renamed to "drop". Alt+Tab should have a screen effect spelling "segue". On startup an ad should appear saying "This startup was brought to you by our sponsor: X". The same on shutdown. Windows should be called "floats" and the taskbar should be called "plane". Clippy as an integral part of the OS, giving you techtips when ever you don't need them (when it pops up your window loses focus).

Haha, it's funny seeing Stellarium here. It's a very commonly used app for astrophotography with computer controlled telescopes. You can use it to click anywhere and then your telescope will move to that location - it's very helpful when doing lunar and planetary imaging. The whole being able to change the location / date thing is helpful as depending on where you're physically located, you can see different things at different times, but what's it's *really* helpful for is being able to see when transit events happen (like ISS lunar / solar transits, moon transits of planets like Jupiter, eclipses etc) and you can get exact times for when they happen, so future planning is possible.

I want to see an "Arch BTW" distro, that gets left in Closed Alpha. So when someone says "I run Arch BTW" we can poke fun and ask how they got in the Alpha 😂😂

If you do a LTT linux, make sure all usually required drivers are preinstalled. That it has most apps that you might use preinstalled. Aswell as some packetmanagers that are easy to use.

6:27 I think I know why it said "Window". You hovered over the Unity dock, which is implemented as a kinda-window with no title. And because the screen reader couldn't figure out what it was except a window it called it "Window".

Yes, Nobara is a must. Excellent gaming experience, and the maintainer is also the creator of Proton-GE. I'd caution you about nVidia drivers right now, however, as nVidia seems committed to dragging Linux users over the proverbial coals in the name of a graphical DRM feature called 'explicit sync'. You'd be well served by installing it on a rig rocking an AMD GPU.

I would caution folks about jumping in the Nobara train. It's supported by one dev that has many other projects in flight. I personally had a hard time with Nvidia drivers, even with the Nvidia driver install tool, as it didn't blacklist nouveau. It also had a weird glitch where the login screen was just a stark white screen. Personally, I recommend just using Fedora and installing the drivers you need yourself. Rpmfusion makes it pretty easy these days.

Suggestions for an LTT Linux distribution: Base the system on ChimeraOS - a gaming-orientated Linux distro built around Arch; include packages which improve upon that. Use Z-shell for default shell instead of Bash, _even for root_ with Powerlevel10K theme and simple GUI config tool to modify it. Use YAFT and have the system configured to automatically open it at login for any VT TTY to have a 256-colour framebuffer.

insane idea that im sure nobody else would suggest give tech tips for anything you do, also add each video as an individual app in a huge folder with sub folders categorized by sponsor, make sure to give the user advertisements microsoft style to visit ltt store

You should reach out to Gardiner the Linux Gamer for a collab. Here’s a thought for the video: the best Linux distro for gaming (shootout) This video would pit the top 10 “gaming” distros against each other; all tests should be done by two people, one advanced user and one complete noob. Grading should be done on the following categories: Installation and setup of distro OOBE Installation of games Performance Ease of use Ease of customization Hardware support (components [CPU, GPU, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc] AND peripherals [webcam, game controllers, microphone/dac, touchpad/touchscreen, etc]) I would expect the final video to show a highly-edited, possibly timelapsed clip of each person setting up each distro as they discuss their experience with that process. and lastly, if you could do labs benchmarks on a few different games per distro (maybe one AAA game, something GL based, and something Vulcan based to show the different rendering pipelines) to see if there are any subtle performance differences or compatibility differences. So, why I think this video collab makes sense, Linus seems to be interested in following along the Linux for gaming saga, but clearly has had mostly negative experiences with Linux, so his audience also sees that same side of the story. But we who daily drive the OS know that Linux can be great and stable, and we know that if Linus had a video showing some of the user-friendly and well-thought-out distros specific to this use case which aren’t riddled with bugs and problems like everything they’ve done thus far, this massive audience would pay attention. I believe this collab, if it could work out, could have a major and significant impact on the Linux market share. I also believe it could show this community that not every Linux distro sucks
