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.

Oof, could anyone let me know why this is getting downvpted?
Maybe fans of DT do that.
Clickbaity title and thumbnail.
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!
Basically lul
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
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.
