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.

Haven't watched all of it, but off the top of my head: Bryan Lunduke is long time Linux and FOSS enthusiast who is known for having yearly tongue-in-cheek "Linux sucks" speeches, which have traditionally been good fun. Lunduke has in the past few years become a polarizing figure with a lot of reactionary American politics seeping in to his Linux content. Nicco is a KDE developer and youtuber who made this video to criticize his latest content.
Me too. Sounds like drama.
Thanks for the summary @banazir@lemmy.ml

Do you know who Bryan Lunduke is? That's what this video is about.
If that name happens to not ring a bell, you aren't missing anything.
I had no idea but spent some time googling anyways.
The answer seems to be a conservative tech youtuber that once upon a time worked with linux tech.
Reddit user comments:
Brian Lunduke?
Say no more, it'll be shit.
This video is criticising Lunduke, it isn't made by him
The "[thing] [synonym for 'is bad'] and here's why" title has been a thing on YouTube for years now.
Not a dumb title,.just purposely "click bait"
