They literally try and positively review bazzite in the linked video.

If his teasers are to be believed thats what he does for the second installment of this.
I think the purpose of the video is to review who you can just tell to switch to linux and have them be able to do it unassisted in a short time frame. I think it does a pretty good job of showing that, the type of person linus was emulating represents a pretty large group of people and they generally can’t switch without either a large amount of frustration or a helpful friend. Also keep in mind this is the first in a series not a single video.
I think you are grossly overestimating people’s capabilities if you think anyone can switch to linux with no interactive help. https://xkcd.com/2501/ . “Setting up windows” for most people means swiping the credit card and pressing the power button. They do not care about data collection, and if its slow then they think they should buy the upgraded model.
I also think its funny how many of the people in this thread see this as a negative video, when I think it actually shows things in a very positive light, just a realistic one. I have already had someone switch to linux because of this video.
Windows laptops absolutelly come pre-installed with the drivers compatible with that system.
Also while hit or miss windows update will install graphics drivers (on a slower cadence than direct from.nvidia/amd) even in a fresh windows install. It’s a common pain point for windows update to mistakenly downgrade your drivers.
People are being exposed to something outside their bubble, and are lashing out.
I am not a doctor, I just find steel interesting. I also prefer leaf to hash. but I think it’s going to take more than 1000C to create the fumes osha is mainly concerned about, which would make the steel yellow with heat, Even for welders it’s the sort of thing that should concern only people who do it professionally. That said you are kinda directly huffing whatever is coming off it (hypothetically of course). If it’s getting red hot, then it might still be having some oxidation, but it probably isn’t getting into your lungs and it probably is going to stay put in the metal, Probably…
If it’s not glowing at all you are definitely good.
Chromium is only dangerous (in reasonable quantities) when its Hexavalent (meaning it has 6 missing electrons). Trivalent chromium (3 missing electrons) is actually essential in trace amounts. Stainless steel has trivalent chromium. Exposure to high temperatures (welding, plasma cutting, maybe grinding) can oxidize it from trivalent to hexavalent but your kitchen utensils aren’t going to be exposed to that. I’m not an expert though to be clear.

51·4 months agoIf Linux gets popular the mega corps will just follow them there and then you’ll be asking them to uninstall Dell os or at least remove the Linux recall (powered by bing) that it comes bundled with. Just look at the modern state of android.
the top stairs could have been added later, why demolish the old stairs if you don’t have to.
Powertoys is basically all the things the engineers internally couldn’t stand not having but the business won’t allow to be officially integrated.
The reason it’s de facto mandatory is due to some in house extensions, assuming they work with this I could, but I also don’t particularly care about my privacy on a work machine. But I will be checking this out for my personal stuff!
In VSCode (yeah yeah MS bad, I have to use it for work) it puts a yellow box around the charcater, which I don’t immediately recognize the meaning of and highlights the line as “identifier “blah;” is undefined”. It’s not like your gunna spend all day on it, but that could waste a couple minutes if the dev wasn’t paying close attention, which is “fun prank” territory.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are the best alternatives to youtube that have a community?
5·8 months agoIt was created by youtubers to try and gain independence from youtube, it’s
cooperativelyowned by the creators. It is mostly the same as those creators youtube content but with no ads and less ad friendly parts added in, occasionally a creator will put out some passion project that wouldn’t work on an ad supported platform. It skews edutainment and video essay type stuff, contrapoints, strange parts, tom scott, philosophy tube and Not Just Bikes are a few that are involved. Quite a lot of content overall but most of it available on youtube.

Linux@lemmy.ml•According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

I’m not sure what language that is but that code makes no sense.

There are quite a few pieces of software that have 2 different branding. For instance the windows file searcher agent ransack also goes by “file locator pro” to keep from scaring the corpos.
