    Hehe, it was fun to watch. It baffles me that Ubuntu still has those errors though.

      That dpkg lock issue 😭

      I still don’t know what’s the proper way of handling it other than just restarting the computer and deleting the lock files, then hope nothing breaks.

        He was running long installation process from command line and lock warning was probably appropriate.

    Remember kids, whatever Linux Distro you installed, it’s the wrong one…

      It’s interesting but I didn’t watch and share this as a serious review. I posted it for the couple of chuckles I got out of ‘The power of sudo compels you’ and ‘God only has ten commands’. Sam’s a funny guy.

      I would’ve liked to see him try mint instead. Less fluff, and hopefully that would’ve gone better for him.

    this warrants a TON of upvotes, are y’all for real? THIS is what it looks like to the potential converts and I deal with them daily.

    the single, giganticest, most glaring issue in every distro and DE is the complete absence of sane defaults as this dude demonstrates, his comedic chops and edge-case issues aside.

    converts nowadays come from the hyper-polished world of Android and iOS devices, where you turn it on and it works. the idea that the average user needs complex setup and training and is faced with these cryptic sysadm-intended-for error messages delegates it to the narrow userbase it has, and it can be so much better.

    All the losers down voting the post…

    You surely can laugh without feeling attacked at your very core, don’t you?

    He is a true CEO of Linux. Has no clue about what he’s doing but he’s very confident. He should’ve at least read a tiny bit about how this works. Such as, you can’t go and install apt packages without updating your system first, or else you will run into issues. You also can’t use a GUI apt frontend as well as apt via the command line. Some of the errors he encountered are totally Ubuntu’s fault tho, such as the broken installer.

    He was probably supposed to mark downloaded .run file executable. Instead he went to collect errors.
