Linus (S) went extra annoying for 2/3 of the vid. He managed to be sort of professional and asked some decent questions, but for the majority of the time he was putting on a performance for the LTT crowd.

Keep your secrets sensei. You get no more attention from me. Happy gatekeeping, or trolling or whatever this supposed to be.

Should all new Linux users get through 10 distros and years of trial and error, before settling for one they like the most?

Imagine you want to leave MS and windows behind and are greeted by comments of your caliber. Then please provide an alternative starting point, elaborate, be helpful.

This is just passive aggressive my dude.

They are probably the best distros for newcomers. I think its an absolutely valid comment.

For the past 10 years I never bought a phone for more than 300 euros.

I usually get a new phone every 3 years to have the latest tech and donate or recycle the old one.

For the last year I had an iPhone 13 pro (usually goes around 1100 euro) as a work phone and my personal Redmi Note 11 Pro I bought for 270 euros and not once I told myself: Man, this iphone is at least 3 times better than my Xiaomi. It’s clearly a premium product but a middle category budget phone can match most features and even more. I still have a headphone jack, bigger 120 Hz screen, IR blaster and an amazing fingerprint sensor.
