Pretending to be the average Joe to see what issues may occur certainly does has it’s place - before an expert informs them of what they aught to do. That’s not to say people creating software cannot do better to appeal to the average user’s needs but it’s falls on experts to teach them to do tech right.
Which is kind of the point of the video.
They explicitly said: they could get expert opinion and support.
But when you use a search engine as an everage joe to find what distro to install, popOS comes up a lot on those shit listicles sites.
Yea I call it bad research. And Linus knows better!! He should take this more seriously than he did now. I don’t like this video.
Maybe modern search engines are part of the problem here. A local computer geek can probably offer better advice (better “tech tips” if you will).
I think the real point is that Pop!_OS (and most Ubuntu based distros) shouldn’t be recommended for gaming.

I know one day LTT will make a “omg why didn’t we try Bazzite sooner” but I wish that day was today.
Heck, even My Life in Gaming, a channel specifically about console gaming, did a PC gaming episode recently with Bazzite.
