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.

I can not tell you how many videos and channels I avoid because of that shit.

also ones that have dumb ass thumbnails that do nothing to hint about the content.

Agreed, have you tried Dearrow? It’s from the person who created SponsorBlock and is a crowdsourced way to get rid of the clickbait

I'd rather just not give the jackasses the attention, than go out of my way to use an app to hide their jackassery

If the Daily Mail's editors do it, it must be a good idea!

Is this just because of the title, or is the video's content contentless? /gen

"This is on version 4 and approved by many people and it doesn't even work. How was this tested?" types furiously in comic sans

This video is killing me. Very entertaining to share their frustration.

Edit: "When we reach 25k subscribers I will debug the Linux scheduler"

AMD's software has always been in a very sorry state. Only after non-inhouse developers created an alternative GPU driver from scratch for Linux it became feasible to use.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=PUNhqliGgvc

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

I am not the creator of the video but amazed what it all makes it into the stable branch.
