From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sometimes I do like his videos, but this one was positioned so bad. The video does go over the changes in Plasma 6.1 and they are good, but this is not a huge change that would change anybodies live.

I know he is probably inspired by channels like Linus Tech Tips, but even they don't got that far anymore. I think he probably intended this in a comedic way, as most of his audience knows that he makes his videos like this, but it really makes the videos worse.

Thumbnail alone is enough for me.

Likely cuz Brody is widely considered to be obnoxious and sensationalist, and his videos range from being only surface level to just straight up wrong

So, a fork of LTT? Got it!

[–] snekmuffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 months ago

Basically lul

He also seems to make a video almost every day. That really doesn't help with the quality of the video's. I doubt there is a lot of time to do additional research on the topic, so often it seems to just stick to the basic information from some kind of article and comments (and maybe a few related articles). And is often just related to the drama of the day.

Although he does sometimes have video's that do require more research, but a lot of people won't see those as they assume low quality because of many other video's.

Widely considered?
Surprised to hear that, whenever someone posts him on Lemmy most of the comments act like he's the best thing since sliced bread in video form

I've definitely seen both opinions, but mostly leaning negative in my experience. Might just be confirmation bias though lol

Maybe fans of DT do that.
