Yeah I think he's a tech guy...he just doesn't know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).
He did Linux much better than Linus of LTT fame.
Yes but he's obviously far more qualified. LTT was trying to give real-world impressions of someone with a technical mind but also zero experience with Linux. Yes, he did something dumb and was clearly not paying attention, but also he never should have been put in that position in the first place. Every distro probably needs to automatically force an update as part of the setup process.
By saying he's not a tech guy probably just means he's not a programmer. But with how he's done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.
He seems to be a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.
I remember when he played minecraft and made a redstone contraption to auto-feed villagers or something. He started by saying that he wasn't good at redstone and proceeds to show something so complex that I would have to follow a tutorial to make it.
I am a programmer, and I can barely put together a latch in redstone. Anyone that programs redstone is a "tech guy" to me (whether they can build a PC or not).
He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it's computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.
I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume "kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses" and stop teaching general computer courses. That's a problem.
Wouldn't be surprised if he paid someone else to do all that lol
