Lunduke may be correct about of things, but he doesn’t even touch the surface on the current desktop bullshit.
Great I forgot these are a thing!
I will not watch such long video with such dumb title. Any summary?
Haven’t watched all of it, but off the top of my head: Brian Lunduke is long time Linux and FOSS enthusiast who is known for having a yearly tongue-in-cheek “Linux sucks” speeches, which have traditionally been good fun. Lunduke has in the past few years become a polarizing figure with a lot of reactionary American politics seeping in to his Linux content. Nicco is a KDE developer and youtuber who made this video to criticize his latest content.
Thanks. I skip it than.
It really has the vibe of an hbomberguy video. I also feel the background is a subtle tribute to his style.
There were basically three big tech guys I remember from my childhood. LTT, who’s not bad. Not a Linux guy, but I don’t hold that against him. Chris Pirillo, who kinda disappeared for a while, but now makes great YouTube content. Then there’s Lunduke. What an asshole.
I tried to watch one of his Linux Sucks videos last year and it was just boring and really dumb takes over and over. I didn’t even know he’s a right wing conspiracy theorist.
I went to bed late last night because of this video! Nicco is a wonderful content creator, there’s very little fluff in his videos and he clearly put a lot of time and research into it. Historically it’s very interesting and we really should be putting effort into taking down Lunduke who is a right-wing piece of shit. I followed him a few weeks ago not knowing about him and after watching a videos I was like “what the fuck is this shit?” and unfollowed him, but other Linux people might fall for it - this video will be a great resource to send to people who do fall for it.
