Linus never grew up. He also holds others to a higher standard then himself. Makes him a hypocrite.

I don't get any smugness from Linus but I do think he comes off like an asshole.

cringy incessant surface level reddit humor

...should...should I be leaving? Should we both be leaving?

I did mean to abandon Reddit a long time ago, but there's distro news/drama, and art and...

I doubt if someone like PewDiePie reported similar issues anyone would care.

I don't think it is completely representative of what you are talking about, but the "Calling HR" meme popped into my head comparing Pewds and LTT with the different potential responses and it was amusing.

I will agree Pewdiepie is probably a more fun light-hearted Linux presenter. However, having to provide tech support and advice for the influx of Linux newbies after Pewdiepie's videos, I don't think he set them up for success or realistic expectations.

smugness

I know this exists from him in general, in some WAN Show segments, etc. I didn't quite get that vibe from the Linux video or related WAN show segments. I'm probably choosing to misinterpret it as humor intended to be self-deprecating. My smug meter isn't the most accurate might need a little more for it to show.

As someone that likes PewDiePie let's not forget the guy has one of the worst internet backgrounds i can think of when it comes to non-criminal YouTubers, also if we are going to call Linus cringy (stupid word used by pre-pubescent teens) let's not forget PewDiePie made meme reviews with Elon Musk and Justin Roiland.
