I wish he didn’t feel the need to be so defensive about his choices. Bazzite is perfect for this use case
In his defense, he does make a great point at the beginning of the video.
“I have never touched a Linux topic in my life. Why? Because you guys scare the shit out of me, because you guys are some opinionated motherf…”
He also knows he tends to run his mouth and say shit with out fact checking it or doing basic research if it's outside his wheel house.
Love the guys content but he uhh... Isn't a great researcher these days and always wants to be the smartest guy in the room and he knows it.
I honestly stopped watching his content after he tried to make a video about gaming on an older more budget system during the height of the GPU shortages and they were laughing about how the worst components they had on hand was something like a 2070 and a 10th gen i5 and then were making fun of how bad the performance was compared to their current high end components that would easily cost $3k. It was so tone dead it was disgusting
"Isn’t a great researcher these days and always wants to be the smartest guy in the room and he knows it."
When has he ever wanted to be the smartest guy in the room? He constantly acknowledges that others are smarter and better than he is. He literally transformed his entire testing methodology because he acknowledged that Steve from Gamers Nexus does it better. That doesn’t sound like he "always wants to be the smartest guy in the room" to me. If anything, it shows humility and willingness to learn.
You say you "love the guys content" but it shows that you haven't watched him at all because you are painting him as an arrogant idiot when he has shown that he isn't.
We’re opinionated? This dude literally said on Twitter that Linux is useless and nobody should use it.
Imagine knowing what people post on Twitter
I think that's his schtick
