Just no. This has nothing to do with Linux - this guy has a huge team of people doing research, orchestrating videos and analyzing interactions. This is the face of a huge company, not some “newbie” like you make it appear.
This is simply another piece of engagement bait. He will never have good success because he will have another “last go” in half a year.
He didn’t have a motivation to switch. He didn’t raise a clear scenario why he claims to want to switch. He’s baiting communities like this one and I’m quite annoyed that this fucker still succeeds.
I’ve met many Linux newbies in my life - not a single one just went with the first distro showing up. Not a single one. Depending on the individual it was either “what’s best for me?” or “What’s easiest?”. I can count the people who didn’t start out with one of those two on one hand
No, you’re missing the point: he can claim all he wants. He doesn’t and didn’t. You say yourself that it’s engagement bait - why do you believe this statement of his??
Edit just because I was curious and had to test for myself: “What’s the best Linux gaming distro” for example shows a different result for me. Adding “comparison” blows it onto a completely different direction and gives more sources.
