And fuck Linus Tech Tips for intentionally keeping quiet about this after they found out.

Especially anything from Linus, they’re a very scummy group.

Am I the only one who, upon seeing his videos for the first time, immediately thought he was an annoying little pinhead?

Like, I've watched his channel(s) surge in popularity over the years, and this entire time I've just been wondering why, and the issues that have come out about his little empire since have only confirmed my initial prejudice.

Because of his name, I thought he was a pro-Linux channel. I was swiftly disappointed.

I mean the easiest name so you can't really go for him for that.

I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here, so I apologize if I'm misinterpreting, but - while I have many potential complaints about Linus - I don't blame him for his name resembling the word "Linux."
