Think of him what you want, but I think this nicely shows the problems that “gamers” will encounter when switching to linuxand gives a good view from outside the Linux community
Homie installed an alpha version of a distro instead of picking the stable one, ran into issues, something something picture of dude shoving a stick into the wheel of the bike he’s riding.
I mean, in the video, Bazzite was still showing how it’s not streamlined. I feel he was being too polite or dishonest so he doesn’t get cancelled by the Linux community. Sure, a couple of the situations were not Bazzite fault, but if it really was the year of the Linux, it shouldn’t be 10 hiccups from install to game. And that was still with his Linux experience.

It isn’t 10 hiccups from install to game, if you just install something normal like Ubuntu or Fedora! The problem here is that the noobs are getting seduced by useless meme distros instead.
I’m a fairly advanced user of gnu Linux distros at this point in my life. Fedora is no where close to straightforward for gaming. Bazzite is plug and play set and forget. Is it frustrating to deal with flatpaks and osm-tree instead of simply using a standard package manager? Sometimes, sure. But for an absolute beginner there really is no better option for gaming as a fresh convert from windows.
Audio problems and nvidia drivers can be an absolute nightmare on almost all major distros from Debian to Ubuntu, to fedora if you don’t have an absurdly advanced grasp of the processes underlying.
Bazitte takes all of that out of the picture. It’s absolutely not a meme distro. It’s perfect for an average tech literate person.
I use arch btw, Debian, fedora, Pop, lubuntu, Ubuntu, and a half dozen other distros on a daily basis across a handful of devices. So I’m not daily driving Bazitte, but for gaming and general purpose computing there’s no simpler distro imo and I’ll die on that hill.
How is the average person going to know that? If Joe blow can’t easily get to the distro they “should be using”, Linux ain’t happening for most people.
Will do. He keeps damaging the reputation of the only real alternative to windows and he might be getting paid by Microsoft to do it. The last time he did this was fucking absurd. The terminal basically told him not to type a command unless he absolutely knew well what he was doing and he did it anyway. I will always maintain that if a user reads a lengthy and terrifying warning and then proceeds without any research, they have invited data and OS loss.

He set himself up for failure again with PopOS.
Cachy and Bazzite are much better choices by the other team members.

That PUBG fails, is clear. You just won’t have a good time with anti cheat based games like PUBG, Fortnite and the like.
Wanna play those? Stay on Windows or get a console. Just how it still is.
And problems with capture cards I would not book in the „normie“ camp, which on a basic level is the goal of this video series.
