Linus and Luke from Linus Tech Tips are switching to Linux as a challenge!

It's an actual "thing" (theoretically). Look it up, Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I swear there's a load of people talking about the LTT challenge and why Linux sux when they've not even reached the first peak, still believing the first peak is genuine mastery.
Unfortunately, it's not even JUST kids/Young folk who believe that first peak is mastery of a topic, they've lived such ignorant lives (I don't always mean this in a derogatory way either, a lot of folks are just hyper focused on a couple of things and the world outside of that just doesn't exist).

N.B Your Btrfs comment earlier was SOOOO "Old man shakes stick at the entire world" (but I don't wanna derail the thread)

Well that’s not entirely correct. We also like to shout “Hey you kids, get off my lawn” a lot too. Of course the two can naturally be combined for best effect.

Yes, true, but today’s kids are not as easy to scare off with a growling bark or a forceful gesture. I like to tell them, I just spayed the lawn with active Glyphosate and ethylene chloride for the bugs, and throw in at the end…“You are basically standing in a landmine of cancer causing agents.” That usually does the trick. Kids today scare when concerned about the environment …and their health. :wink:

I AGREE WITH U

I'm playing far cry 3 right now on linux garuda, the first time i played the game i was playing it on windows 7 a i7 3770 16 gb ram and a 7970 ghz edition .

now im playing the same game on a ryzen 5 4500u apu with rx vega 6 graphics i played it on my 7970 on high, im running this in vulkan using garuda gaming under lutris now and im loving the experience.

ive used manjaro, ive used popos and garuda is the best linux gaming distro by far, everything is already installed that you could need. im even playing shadowgate from nintendo as well to relive my favorite childhood rpg.

if they try garuda they will agree that its the best gaming distro bar none.

It is, it certainly is. Here’s how it works…

  • In 2003 I was cited by the author of a Prentiss-Hall book on learning Linux, along with a few others, as being helpful to him personally, in understanding and learning Linux. I had been using it for only a few years at that point.
  • It’s soon to be 2022, over 18 years later, and I now know that I don’t know a damned thing. I’m puzzled by new interactions between the OS and myself daily. What does Linux know that I don’t? It turns out to be a lot.

My father lived to be 94. If I do, that means I have about 24 more years to keep learning Linux. At which point, I suspect I will have learned that I still have not mastered it don’t know a damned thing.

:smiley:

Eff you, Dunning-Kruger!

Well, if you'd damn well stop forgetting everything and if Linux would stop bloody evolving then MAYBE you'd know a few things by then.
