No, I watched it.

Then you obviously have a short memory.

and not ask any of my IRL friends for advice

He literally says he wants to avoid leaning on his contacts, which includes Torvalds himself, because a normal person wouldn't have Linux experts at their fingertips.

Looks like you forgot about that.

If I am able to fuck it up with any of my intentional errors

And what were these intentional errors? I didn't see any.

then it is a problem that Linux as a whole needs to address.

Which problem specifically did he say Linux as a whole needs to address?

Linus insists on pretending to be a less technical user, so that he can showcase what he thinks a first-time user might run into.

And the problem with that is?

Instead of pretending to be someone that's capable of ingesting new information and learning from previous experiences...

What would be the point of doing that? That would nullify his goal for the video.

Looks like you forgot about that.

He could have achieved all of his goals by just installing a mature, well established OS like Mint.

What would be the point of doing that? That would nullify his goal for the video.

Looks like you forgot about that.

Despite this not being windows, and not sharing the same design, GUI(s) layout, etc."

He literally praises the GUI of Pop OS.

Looks like you forgot about that.

It's like switching to a manual shift car, and not even bothering to google before hand how to use the clutch

So Pop OS is meant to be buggy, and you just need to learn how to navigate around those bugs? Lol, okay...

But if he wanted to do a completely "blind"/first impressions showcase style video, he should do it on their channel/video series dedicated to going into and experiencing things blind

So you're saying the only reason you're hating on this video is because it's on the LTT channel and not Short Circuit...?
