"Linux Sucks" Sucks. Here's Why : linux

The older Lunduke gets, the more he’s convinced about being right on everything, therefore the more rubbish he has to say.

1:15:23

No thanks.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 22 points 9 months ago

I miss the era of 10 minute videos. Nowadays, everything is either 50 second long or 3 hours.

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago

They video is way too long and he stays too long on some topics but he's right. He doesn't deserve the downvotes

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 4 points 9 months ago

I won't even watch 10 minutes. Video is really a huge time waster.

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

You can't 2.25 (which makes it last about 33.5 mins) or something?

[-] Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

I typed that comment while I was on the toilet last night 7 minutes before my bedtime. So no, I can’t simply put a video into chipmunk mode and watch for an unscheduled 30 minutes. That’s longer than the actual 25 minute show my wife and I watched in bed.

Haven't watched all of it, but off the top of my head: Bryan Lunduke is long time Linux and FOSS enthusiast who is known for having 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.

[-] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 29 points 9 months ago

Do you know who Bryan Lunduke is? That's what this video is about.

If that name happens to not ring a bell, you aren't missing anything.

[-] anamethatisnt@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

I had no idea but spent some time googling anyways.
The answer seems to be a conservative tech youtuber that once upon a time worked with linux tech.

Reddit user comments:

It's really unsettling. He used to be a great Linux guy but now he's just a nut.

I unsubscribed from his YT channel and stopped following him as he gradually began to drift from being a dorky goofball to being a right-wing apologist.

Don't listen to Bryan Lunduke. He's a middle aged edgelord that new Linux users get introduced to because of his smart-ass "Linux Sucks" series, and then as they learn more about Linux themselves they realize he's just a douche who's not worthy of their youtube views.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Brian Lunduke?

Say no more, it'll be shit.

[-] deliriousn0mad@feddit.it 22 points 9 months ago

This video is criticising Lunduke, it isn't made by him

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 9 months ago

The "[thing] [synonym for 'is bad'] and here's why" title has been a thing on YouTube for years now.

[-] Swarfega@lemm.ee -2 points 9 months ago

Not a dumb title,.just purposely "click bait"

[-] Kajika@lemmy.ml 25 points 9 months ago

It really has the vibe of an hbomberguy video. I also feel the background is a subtle tribute to his style.

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 22 points 9 months ago

He confirmed in the premiere chat that the broken wallpaper is a direct hbomberguy reference.

[-] 56_@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

(I found it at 19:15, though I'm not sure why I went looking)

Oooooh this comment section is gonna be an inferno soon!

[-] pixelscript@lemmy.ml 14 points 9 months ago

Man, I haven't seen a pony in the wild in ages.

It's never too late for ponies!

There were basically three big tech guys I remember from my younger years.

LTT, who’s not bad. Not a Linux guy, but I don’t hold that against him. Also kinda late to the party, but only cause he’s around my age.

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.

[-] pmarcilus@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

May u elaborate on the allegation where he is a conspiracy theorist?

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

You should watch the video.

[-] pmarcilus@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 9 months ago

Mb, seems like he's a really deep down into antivac and Jan 10 rabbit hole.

[-] PoliticalCustard@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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 video 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.

[-] backhdlp@iusearchlinux.fyi 13 points 9 months ago

I don't understand the people who say it's long, like no it isn't, 1:15:24 is a completely reasonable (if not even a bit short) time for the topic.

[-] Kajika@lemmy.ml 21 points 9 months ago

They just don't want to watch it. Length is not really an argument.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Feature length film bruh. I could be watching half of return of the king instead.

Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternatives.

Linux sucks, so make it better.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Everyone has their own opinion of how to make it better, so instead of pooling resources and compromising on a single product that advances fast, developers branch off and make nearly identical things with slight configuration differences. It’s the beauty and the ugliness of Linux.

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

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