LTT has been pretty positive about linux and recommend it a lot. Although that is more thanks to Emily than Linus.
okay... TIL that Linus Tech Tips is not by Linus Torvalds.
I'm like why tf would he not promote his own system...
A big part of the POINT of Linux is that it's open source rather than proprietary, making it not his system nor his responsibility to promote it..
Except that Linus Torvalds literally works for The Linux Foundation, so....
I really did mean that I had always assumed that Linus Tech Tips was from the same Linus that made Linux, but it's not, and I learned that... yesterday.
