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.

It would actually be really interesting to watch someone who only grew up using Linux try and switch to Windows.

For sure!

Like another commenter was saying too, they are just applying a Windows mentality on a Linux installation. If you go with a Windows mentality to macOS you'll also have issues and vice-versa. The view they are showing isn't great...
It's also clear Luke has knows what his doing more than Linus, so at least we're seeing a less confusing side of the story.
