Can the person that downvoted this explain why please?
In general, I downvote content with shitty or incomplete titles.
While I disagree with your reasoning, I appreciate the explanation
Damn. Two people having an adult, and respectful disagreement on the internet. I never thought I'd see the day.
Great job both of you.
I was curious because I saw this on my timeline and before I could even click the video to read the text on the video, it has downvotes and that turned me off, so I thought I'd find out why. Everyone was kind enough to explain, so I'm grateful.
Title he puts "Linux Problems" but he wrote "My problems with linux" inside the video, my pov is kinda the opposite, a person with production machine should not expect to go full bleeding edge and just works... etc, lol; like other said the rest of my thoughts
Thanks for explaining
I didn't downvote but probably people won't sit through a long video when the points he's making could be a short list. At least give a summary.
Summaries are definitely something that clients should be able to automate. It seems to be expected now.
I didn't downvote it, but I really didn't like the video. It goes like "the things that are problems in Linux" and then starts talking about an extremely customized system, from DE to kernel, to audio...
I don't think he gets, in general at least, to explain why those are needed, just how complex it all is. It would have been more interesting to say "this are the problems with an out of the box distro, and the hurdles it took me go fix each one".
Mind you, this doesn't mean I think a fresh install of Ubuntu can perfectly work for him. But knowing what didn't work and why might be more helpful for people considering the same
That's really fair criticism. More YouTubers should take such an approach. Surely it's nicer to see people supporting you rather than trying to stoke up fake outrage.
Don't know anything about Chris Titus Tech as a person (friend of mine says he's a bit crazy but that's it I guess?), but they probably see negativity about Linux and downvote. The title seems to be bad at explaining the video too.
(For those who don't want to watch, Chris basically explains the issues he's had with Linux for video production, and why his set-up is the way it is.)
I gather they are or were associates / friends with bryan lunduke, who is an extremely controversial character in the Linux space. That might explain the "bit crazy" remark but I really don't know much about the nature of their relationship
Oh I know Lunduke. Used to enjoy his Linux Sucks speeches before he went a bit down the deeper end. That being said, I don't think said friend is really in-tune with that sort of politics in the Linux community, so I don't know if that's the case. It's probably the fact Chris uses Arch as a main OS, while my friend tried it, hated it then used Fedora tbh.
Oh I see, appreciate the background.
Yeah it was very sad to see the byran situation unfold. I was also a fan of that series.
Thank you
You are in an environment where the downvote button exists as a self-validation/relief method rather than flagging off-topic/unrelated/low-effort/etc content as "bad".
because that Titus guy has made himself famous
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
