    Lunduke may be correct about of things, but he doesn’t even touch the surface on the current desktop bullshit.

      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.

    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.
