He's got a lot of charisma. And his videos frequently give that "people doing something they should have prepared more for but pushing through anyways" entertainment where you can laugh at how they put effort into creating an illusion of professionalism but left enough gaps to make it clear it was just an illusion and he's in way over his head, but somehow still manages to keep it going.

It's a weird spot where I like the guy and want to see him succeed but also don't think he deserves that success and want to see him fail.

Though I don't really spend much time watching hardware enthusiast videos in general, so I probably won't see either of those unless it goes viral like his last shitshow did.

I liked the time when he tried to use linux and ended up destroying his os by blindly following googled command line instructions

I would've done exactly the same, seeing how I am also a newbie at using Linux distros. Who would've thought trying to install Steam would result in your GUI being deleted.

That update bugwas so ridiculously poorly timed for the Linux community. Especially considering he said Pop OS was beginner friendly

That's funny.

He used to have some charisma lol. Also the early Linus Tech Tips content, like back when they were running it out of someone's house, was usually pretty entertaining. Back then the content was much more silly and creative though, and much less corporatized.
