I don’t think the video was bad and I’m glad desktop Linux is getting a good amount of attention this way.
But… I feel like he didn’t exactly show windows users what really expects them on Mint (which is a very similar but in many ways better and quite easy experience). This might be off putting to some unconvinced Windows users.
His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.
What got me back into Linux was seeing the unixporn screenshots on image boards. Chrome pulls people in.
