    From what I remember it went like this, but I stopped following his crap years ago

    • sees an error message, doesn’t read it
    • starts pasting random shit into the terminal
    • breaks the system
    • Fuck Linux, it’s not ready for use
    • after the Linux community has a meltdown, someone points out to him that he’s an idiot, but in a gentle way you’d tell your boss
    • tries again, gives up again
    • films another video on how windblows just works, while he, a certifiable tech genius, couldn’t get it to work

    Truly “a force for Linux adoption”.

      He is a time poor impatient person. That is something linux will need to address for wider adoption.

      I would argue that their example resulted in some very wide ranging changes in approach that was long overdue.

      Linux was at risk of becoming an “OS for us” instead of a true replacement for everyone.

      I suspect if they repeat the challange today, it would be a night and day difference.
