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.

Some Linux Youtubers like Luke Smith, unfortunately have some weird political views that they push onto their viewers alongside the Linux stuff. For example, if you can look past all the controversial stuff from Luke Smith, you can find a "Vimtutor Let's Play" video from him where he goes through vimtutor and actually teaches a lot of cool things that aren't a part of vimtutor (personally, I learned quite a lot from that video).
It does sadly enable algorithms to promote such ideologies and push people down the alt right pipeline
Yes, temporarily. But down the road people should realize that some of Luke's takes are outright autistic and should not be taken seriously. E.g. that you should try to go out without smartphone in your everyday life.
Can we not use austistic as a pejorative. Thanks
Luke behaves like an autistic person. Nothing wrong with that. Is it a good idea to adapt his behaviour? No, it is not.
Give me an adjective that is just as fitting.
Yeah I wouldn't take Luke's worldview. I didn't see the rest of grans channel.
Going without a smartphone is not necessarily a bad thing, as it can help combat social media addiction, and let's admit it: we're all using our phones too much. The issue is many people can't do it because they need a phone.
He's talking about going out without phone. Meeting friends, doing your job.. Literally everyone needs a phone at least to some degree
It really doesn't matter to most people.
Still cool
not sure why I need to care when this is a video on gnome...
You don't need to care, and nobody is telling you that you have to. If you don't care, watch it.
And if you do care, now you know and can make the decision of whether you want to contribute to this person's channel or not.
