TL:DW It’s a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus’s views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.

The video is long, but it’s a good listen.

    No kidding, it’s intense. I like the channel well enough, and find they’ve handled their various scandals to my satisfaction, at least. And yes, it’s 100% more entertainment than deep technical content I’m gonna learn from, but whatever, guilty pleasures aren’t some horrible sin, and it’s a better use of my time than reality TV. Being such a large channel does also get them access to some really worthwhile stuff now and again, like major factory tours, or Linus Torvalds, and that is stuff that’s really worth my time.

    All of that said, I assume there’s lots of people here like myself, but it just ain’t worth jumping out of the woodwork for the guy. I like him, but not nearly enough to cast myself against this much vitriol for his sake.

    This is the coolest video they’ve done in ages, and Linus Torvalds seems like such an excellent, genuine guy. He gives really thoughtful answers to even some of the silly joke questions, and it’s great. I super appreciate his perspective, and he interviews excellently.
