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.

But he could just read a guide instead of winging it? They do PC build guides constantly and never complain when there is some gotcha or they have to use tools or read a manual.
This is only acting dumb to get engagement and maybe some FOSS people to be inspired by the channel to pick up the hobby of acquiring insane amounts of useless consumer electronics.
Also what's Linux going to do if they talk shit about them? Stop sending free products or not sponsor them?
