If that’s the case, could you link a source then? Because I wasn’t able to find it with a quick Google search He has been the subject of many controversies over the years, most of which have been wildly misinterpreted.

I haven’t seen any evidence of that.
He talks about wanting Linux to succed and win marketshare over Windows on many WAN shows, and in general, he is positive towards Linux in the sense that he wants it to win, but he also feelt like it wasn’t ready yet for real mass adoption. For example, he’s rooting for Valve and the SteamDeck and Steam machine to be a success and has been widely positive of Proton and what it has managed to achieve. Perhaps you want him to make videos about Linux, in which case, yes, he hasn’t made that many dedicated videos on it, but on streams he is often positive whenever talking about it.
I don’t get your logic. Why would he do it on purpose? He’s been advocating for and promoting Linux gaming for years now, why would he fail on purpose.
Honestly, what happened seems like something pretty normal for someone that isn’t a programmer or system admin. I remember when consoles were black boxes to me and I wouldn’t understand anything that was written in there even though today it might seem extremely obvious. It was just bad luck that his attempt lined up with a Pop!_OS bug, he didn’t expect that such a normal use case as installing Steam would result in him deleting his desktop environment, and just saw the last line and did what it said.

15·3 days agoThe thing I find most surprising is that this many kids want to be teachers. It doesn’t sound like something kids would typically be interested in, nor do I remember me nor my friends ever wanting to be teachers.

Yeah, from everything that I saw and I was watching WAN Show regularly at that time, and from the posts that I saw and the explanations that they made, it mostly seems that LTT had a problem of growing too big, too fast, management was still in the mindset that they were a small company with a few people, they just didn’t grow correctly, and that came to bite them in the ass. They say they’ve tried to improve on this, and that they are better nowadays, that’s to be seen. But either way, this didn’t seem like malice, and the way GN doubled down just left a very bad taste in my mouth.
