  • I’d be surprised if LTT ever say that Linux is to blame.

    He did EXACTLY that, just not about Photoshop, but a similar proprietary piece of software he used for his video editing that is very expensive and targeted ONLY to professionals. Which is not at all relevant for 99.9% of the people that watch his channel. So he basically failed Linux on issues that are irrelevant to by far the most people, either because he is an idiot or he is paid to do so. Which of those it is doesn’t really matter. The point is he made a devastating conclusion for Linux based on a fringe use case that isn’t representative, and he blamed Linux for not supporting the proprietary software and hardware he wanted to use, instead of blaming the vendors that have the responsibility for it, and are the ones making money on it! Because that’s how stupid and misleading he is.

    But this is no way near the only reason I have blocked his channel, it is also the blatant corrupt attitude when Ryzen was released, and his extreme favoritism of Intel, that then turned 180° shortly after Intel had announced they would decrease budgets for reviewers. We saw the same with GPU’s where he didn’t even review AMD cards, until suddenly he did, after AMD began paying for advertising on his channel.

    The corruption is extreme, and it’s all about which vendors pay him money, and not at all about the products or interest of consumers. Except he is good at pretending it is.

    LTT is an advertising company nothing more.


  • So now they seem a lot more positive about Linux. But don’t go here looking for anything Linux related.

    They are so childish and ignorant in their approach to Linux, like claiming that the lack of Photoshop for Linux is a problem with Linux and not a problem with Photoshop.
    The ignorance and lack of logical thinking is astounding.

    It’s OK to say you may have problems if you are depending on software that is only available on Windows or MAC, but that is not a fault of Linux. It’s the fault of those vendors that don’t support Linux. It’s like the blaming the victim logical fallacy.

    ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
    He is a fraud who use hidden advertisement. Apart from that he is an idiot, who will push false information people fall for.
    Almost the entirety of the content originally was product placement. Which is why if you go back to the beginning almost everything he reviewed was amazing!!
    NEVER NEVER NEVER trust him.

    Just his moronic ignorant approach to Linux should be telling that he is still a tech moron. Even now that he has economic independence to actually make quality content if he wanted.
    Instead he is complaining that Linux doesn’t support hardware, when it’s the hardware that doesn’t support Linux. He can’t even understand basic logic. It is not up to “Linux” to write a driver, it is up to the hardware manufacturer. And that is also how it works on Windows. But “Linux” doesn’t give him money. On Windows manufacturers even pay to have these drivers certified! So first they write the driver, then they pay Microsoft to certify them.

    Just seeing his channel mentioned pisses me off, because his popularity is harmful to the industry. Watch LTT and leave worse informed than you were before watching that crap.
    I have had ALL his channels blocked for years. Because everything he makes is worthless because you can’t trust any of it, because he is both ignorant and 100% a commercial channel.

    If you want real info, watch Gamers Nexus, Hardware unboxed, and similar channels, that are known for their integrity.
