I Can’t Keep Waiting for SteamOS! - Linux Gaming Update 2025 -LTT
Man, uhhh okay:
-
The man mentions Chimera, Holo, and Bazzite, then proceeds to take the single most difficult route to installation, with the least amount of hardware support and functionality. Don't they have any Linux people on staff? Where is Emily?
-
We're expecting a "general use" image in literally a few days and they couldn't hold off?
This allows him to make another follow up video in a few days And thus creating twice the content/clicks
Hence the downvotes.
I mean they waited 3 years for this one, though...

This is kind of par for the course for LTT. They somehow go the dumbest route in doing things and then wonder why things don't work or break. I'd argue that most of the gaming related immutable distros should provide a decent out of the box experience, simply because that's what they're supposed to do. Maybe not quite as streamlined and fancy looking as SteamOS but functionality wise it should be fine and even more functional / flexible. Though, I'm sure he'll then cry about additional ways to install things that are too complicated, like Distrobox, ignoring his own advice of just sticking to app stores like Discover, which somehow is only valid for SteamOS.
According to her pinned Xitter post, Emily left LMG at the end of August already.
Ah well that's a loss for everyone.
I believed I heard Emily's voice in the background, actually
I thought they were gone? Like left the show entirely.

This seems like a relevant post for this community. Are all these downvotes because people don't agree with the views stated in the video?
Probably because LTT isn't loved very much. They give more pop tech tips than real ones. Maybe except when Emily is in front of the camera. Although she still seems to be pulling some strings in the background.
Sure, but LTT is still the mainstream tech outlet. Whatever they say, whether for good or bad, is worth discussing, especially as they are the ones who will overwhelmingly shape the average person's opinions on Linux.
To my eyes, the downvotes here seem like a form of burying our heads in the sand, which IMO should be discouraged as much as possible, as Linux users already have a reputation for being out of touch with the needs and wants of the average user
I didn't watch the video so couldn't say on that point. But, Linus isn't very liked by many in the tech community for multiple reasons and many of the down votes are surely due to this.
