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.

I don't understand how these tech people can be so bad with researching things and then installing a distro.
"I already know X. I'm brilliant, so if I don't currently know Y, it's not worth knowing. I will ignore the 30 years it took me to get to where I am knowing X."
Which fallacies cover this? I suppose we can start with Dunning-Kruger?
It's all for the show
Yea. I guess I always assume people are genuine, but it is a group who care about entertaining more than teaching.
I think it's business savvy on his part, he had all the tech viewers he could get, so he expanded to tech entertainment.
I don't like it but it's profitable.
