Homie installed an alpha version of a distro instead of picking the stable one, ran into issues, something something picture of dude shoving a stick into the wheel of the bike he’s riding.
Pretending to be the average Joe to see what issues may occur certainly has it’s place - before an expert informs them of what they ought to do. That’s not to say people creating software cannot do better to appeal to the average user’s needs but it’s falls on experts to teach them to do tech right.
How is the average person going to know that? If Joe blow can’t easily get to the distro they “should be using”, Linux ain’t happening for most people.
I mean, in the video, Bazzite was still showing how it’s not streamlined. I feel he was being too polite or dishonest so he doesn’t get cancelled by the Linux community. Sure, a couple of the situations were not Bazzite fault, but if it really was the year of the Linux, it shouldn’t be 10 hiccups from install to game. And that was still with his Linux experience.

It isn’t 10 hiccups from install to game, if you just install something normal like Ubuntu or Fedora! The problem here is that the noobs are getting seduced by useless meme distros instead.
How did this idea that Fedora is a no-brainer beginner distro take hold?
Any distro that leaves it up to the user to install proprietary drivers and codecs via command line and then a chunk of additional software before anything can get done is not beginner friendly by today’s standards.
Cachy has been basically rock solid for me, after figuring out a couple nvidia issues. The biggest problem I faced was trying to understand wine/proton prefixes for restoring saves files on some of my older games. Though I’m running Plasma which I guess is kinda “vanilla” compared to these fancier DEs. Props to the Cachy team and the Arch Wiki team for having such a vast wealth of information available that’s pretty easy to follow!
He set himself up for failure again with PopOS.
Cachy and Bazzite are much better choices by the other team members.

Which is kind of the point of the video.
They explicitly said: they could get expert opinion and support.
But when you use a search engine as an everage joe to find what distro to install, popOS comes up a lot on those shit listicles sites.
Maybe modern search engines are part of the problem here. A local computer geek can probably offer better advice (better “tech tips” if you will).

Yea I call it bad research. And Linus knows better!! He should take this more seriously than he did now. I don’t like this video.

That PUBG fails, is clear. You just won’t have a good time with anti cheat based games like PUBG, Fortnite and the like.
Wanna play those? Stay on Windows or get a console. Just how it still is.
And problems with capture cards I would not book in the „normie“ camp, which on a basic level is the goal of this video series.
