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.

Can the person that downvoted this explain why please?

[–] yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.ml 53 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In general, I downvote content with shitty or incomplete titles.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

While I disagree with your reasoning, I appreciate the explanation

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 36 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Damn. Two people having an adult, and respectful disagreement on the internet. I never thought I'd see the day.

Great job both of you.

I was curious because I saw this on my timeline and before I could even click the video to read the text on the video, it has downvotes and that turned me off, so I thought I'd find out why. Everyone was kind enough to explain, so I'm grateful.

Title he puts "Linux Problems" but he wrote "My problems with linux" inside the video, my pov is kinda the opposite, a person with production machine should not expect to go full bleeding edge and just works... etc, lol; like other said the rest of my thoughts

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 6 points 4 months ago

Thanks for explaining

I didn't downvote but probably people won't sit through a long video when the points he's making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 4 points 4 months ago

Summaries are definitely something that clients should be able to automate. It seems to be expected now.

I didn't downvote it, but I really didn't like the video. It goes like "the things that are problems in Linux" and then starts talking about an extremely customized system, from DE to kernel, to audio...

I don't think he gets, in general at least, to explain why those are needed, just how complex it all is. It would have been more interesting to say "this are the problems with an out of the box distro, and the hurdles it took me go fix each one".

Mind you, this doesn't mean I think a fresh install of Ubuntu can perfectly work for him. But knowing what didn't work and why might be more helpful for people considering the same

That's really fair criticism. More YouTubers should take such an approach. Surely it's nicer to see people supporting you rather than trying to stoke up fake outrage.

You are in an environment where the downvote button exists as a self-validation/relief method rather than flagging off-topic/unrelated/low-effort/etc content as "bad".

because that Titus guy has made himself famous
