I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

    1. Steam was in the pop-shop at that time.
    2. The start up guide explains what the pop-shop is.
    3. Meaning Linus just ignored this user friendly option because…idk why.

      That is what he did. Then when Pop Shop threw an error, he looked up other ways to install it, and ended up doing it in the terminal through apt. Though his system was not up to date, so it got messed up and he removed his DE in the process. All he needed to do was make sure to update his system after that fresh install BEFORE he started installing things.

        You’re right, I rewatched it for better context. Not a lot of detail on what he tried, it kind of just skipped forwards.

        I also think it’s funny how he talks about doing everybody from a newbies perspective while using a Threadrpper and Titan PC with XLR peripherals lol

      idk why.

      You know why.

      Do you think he’d have gotten as many eyes on the video if it went smoothly and he read what he was supposed to?

        1. “Eyes on the video” is usually dependent on the thumbnail, not the actual content.

        2. If anything I think it probably would have gotten more eyes if it came off as a viable alternative.

          TIL any video thats ever gotten popular or viral was thanks entirely and 100% due to the thumbnail and not at all due to the content.

            “100%” was not in any part of my statement but nice job rephrasing to intentionally misrepresent my statements.
