It is just about steamOS though.

      LTT’s analysis is often haphazard, poorly informed, or both. Predictably, that leads to a high rate of bad conclusions. Linus Sebastian in particular seems to put sensationalism above all else, and he overestimates his understanding of computer systems. I would not recommend his advice to anyone.

      I can’t speak for other people, though. Maybe someone else will chime in with other reasons.

      I don’t watch much of this kind of content (I prefer text) but from what I have seen, Gamers Nexus is a superior channel.

      Probably because LTT has been shown to be deceitful, unethical, and unwilling to take steps to ensure accuracy. These two videos from GN explain: https://youtu.be/FGW3TPytTjc?si=b8UhcBFU9eo0DPv0

      Prior to that I found Linus smug face intensely irritating. And when I went looking for information on stuff his videos would always pop up but they never actually helped.

      So while I mildly disliked Linus prior to the GN investigation, now I’ve actually blocked his YouTube channels.

      YMMV
