I have no idea what the deal with the whole plagiarism drama is, but for the people telling me in the comments, it was never clear to me from the outset (and if not to me, anyone who doesn't know any better from the outset) and it's hard for me to verify anything properly.
From what I gathered, one of the background people that eBuzz was relying to is guilty of the plagiarism, and eBuzz fired him upon discoverying this. He still feels responsible for it though, and intends to be more hands on on the sources and text of his contents. However, there were a few creators including DT who jumped the gun and called him out publicly without delay, instead of trying to reach out and get explanations first. THAT is what pissed off eBuzz. The same happenned a couple of years ago with AVGN (Cinemassacre), and AVGN wasn't denounced in such a way by the gaming critics community.
Hope this summary helps. ;)
I feel the need to point out that, in completition to what Darth Killer said, eBuzz only took action when word got out. If he was actually truthful, he would have done so before, and also announced doing so, before somebody from outside got to do it. And also cover all the problematic videos not just one or two. When he made the video, he still had videos that he didn't addressed. And there's other things too. It might still be up for debate, but for me it's clear that eBuzz is shady and in the wrong.
@@Winnetou17 or maybe he didn't even know in the first place and he found out when the word got out. Exactly like what happened with AVGN. Except with AVGN, people asked him first. With eBuzz, people denounced first.
If there are unaddressed content with this problem, why not reach out to him? It's not like he hasn't openly asked for people to email him...
*Funny* avatar, bad idea for *serious* talking.
I feel like "copying thumbnail format" has got to be the most nitpicky and idiotic thing to whine about on UA-cam..
Am I misunderstanding what happened???
I used to watch Korean dramas, but then I discovered Linux UA-camrs.
lmao
Its an Anime...
@@fabricio4794 Haha
Nobody hates a Linux user more than another Linux user.
@@TehShadowDeathyou've just made an enemy for life!
As a relatively new Linux user, I have learned so much from DT's videos. I value the unscripted, off the cuff genuine content. I place more value in that at first glance than I do an avatar.
Try Joe Collins, he's more knowledgeable. DT refuses to learn. "I don't know how to use it so it's broken and not ready".
@@godisgood5089 The thing is though, that is helpful to a NEW Linux user. What works with ease and what do you need to literally study to get to work for your needs that you would not have to deal with on another OS. That view point is still valid and useful.
I really like DT, not because I am wanting to learn how to use something, but because I want to see someone using it. I want to see the user experience of a piece of software, and someone struggling (even over simple tasks) is still apart of that experience. DT isn't a tutorial channel, its a dinner menu.
@BobDev I get it, I really do I like pretty too. BUT isnt that one on fundamental values of linux. To be like BurgerKing and have it your way. Lol
@@BobDevV isn't it the point of kde like giving every option possible? and to do that you will have to sacrifice ux as there will be so many buttons.. or u could hide those buttons but then people say kde has so many things hidden
@@BobDevV i totally agree on sick custom theme, and no use of manual to use functions , but i never met such decent os other then solus when it was stable and vs code but they are now broken so I guess vim/Mac and tiling wm/decent wm will go a long way with any distro having stable package managment
a part*
apart = away from
@@BobDevV There are plenty of fully-featured Linux distros out there that "just work."
I'm not sure what you mean by saying Linux is "stuck in the 90s design." It just seems intentionally misleading considering the UIs are more or less the same on Windows or Mac OS. There are welcome screens and tutorials aplenty. You seem just dead set on ignoring those and act like new users are up a creek without a paddle.
DT does his thing and some people love him, his unscripted vids are a compliment more than it's a criticism
Good video, I agree with a lot of it. I don't think generalizing about Wayland as you did is any better then the way DT generalizes about Wayland. It probably would have been better to say something like "it works for me, but it is still new so it may not work for everyone." Which is still closer to the truth in my experience.
All that being said, I make mistakes all the damn time, I don't script anything (because I'm bad at reading scripts), so I can't throw stones in any glass whatever. The grammar there completely went down the hole, which proves my point.
Also, DT's response to my video about distro reviews remains one of the most hilarious things I've seen on UA-cam. And the best bit is he said it wasn't my video that triggered him.
I don't watch DT anymore but saw your video and wholeheartedly agreed with it. I will have to make an exception of my not watching DT so that I can see this meltdown of his.
I do agree with your Wayland point, it works for most people but I have one of those infamous nvidia optimus laptops that still present a lot of issues under wayland, at least the last time I've tested but it works flawlessly on the rest of my machines
Distrotube realizes that guns and free software are both tools that empower the individual to resist tyranny? Based
I agree with his conclusion, but his arguments are flawed
Honestly, not a fan of DT, but he seems like a fine guy, he doesn't deserve hate!
And as a former Sway user, it is beta quality software, regardless if whatever Manjaro screwed up! To be fair, all other Wayland WMs are as well. Still using it anyway... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Strange how hyprland seems to be more production ready than anything on xorg could have ever provided me then.
@@DashieTM lol it can't even get packaged in any distro
@@lucastavares3518 its in the arch repos?
@@DashieTM You' just not using an Nvidia GPU, maybe not gaming, not using some software could cause problem, using half backed alternatives to solid xorg alternatives. For the majority of people it's not yet at the level of Xorg, and definitely not production ready, especially if using tiling wm, otherwise we'd just switch.
@@heroe1486 I have both an amd system and an Nvidia system.
I am a gamer, and the experience on Wayland is better than on xorg, no more turning off compositor bs.
I previously ran KDE, with Wayland, worked fine as well.
Half baked alternatives: any examples? Have you actually had a look at them? Or have you just decided that it wasn't the same therefore it's bad?
Not production ready? Says who? And why?
Tiling wm: sway, qtile, river, waymonad, hyprland and more
You have not made a single argument for any of your supposed points.
I like his video format of diving into things and live reactions, it feels more like a genuine experience (getting confused at things, running into issues or bugs) than a scripted video where the creator seems to have already figured everything out already, and it's quite relaxing. His personal opinions though are a slightly different thing
making a mistake is not an issue ... it's how one handles that ... admitting it and "oh i made a mistake" .... no problem
Dude, I literally can't maximize window on wayland session, right now without GNOME going nuts on Nvidia hardware - like in a big way, imagine glitch fest so big, that you need to log out from a session. And i'm on Linux since 2012 so it's not like I'm a complete noob or something, I usually know how to deal with issues on my distro.
Please, don't tell people that wayland is stable because you're misleading them. It may be stable for you, and TBH I'm a bit jealous, because I want wayland to be default, but trust me... a lot of us still have issues with wayland.
Hmmm … honestly, I could have guessed DistroTube’s politics, but it’s disconcerting to see such blatant examples of inappropriate sharing (I had not seen any of the cited examples first hand). That’s not to say he isn’t free to create his own content, he certainly is, but I am equally as free to disagree with him and his views. I appreciate your perspective and the call for supporting one another, especially as often we forget that we can critique others without going scorched earth on them. We can offer dissent without totally tearing someone down. The issue is that our narrative nature is most stimulated and driven by such dramatics and theatrics. The internet offers us all of the information ever known, but it doesn’t teach us the responsibility involved in navigating it, interacting with it, and trying to contribute to it in our own humble ways. Sometimes we can mean well but miss the mark mightily, and like most ill-begotten actions, I suspect most drama and theatrics can be traced back to a knee-jerk reaction and not necessarily malice aforethought. In other words, I’d argue that most often we’re all just doing the best we can, but we’re also most often entirely terrible at it. I’m not sure what I’m saying anymore … but thanks for the opportunity to engage with the topic and hear your thoughts!
If you don't agree with DistroTube, do you know that there's an unsubscribe button ?
This channel has become one of my favorite channels. Always well spoken and thought out. Appreciate the high value placed on privacy and just really enjoy the content overall.
I am on r/linuxmasterrace and I confirm that there are some pretty shitty people on it but that's every Reddit community. I try to help out when people ask questions and be a normal person in the community.
I like DT, because he's charming AF! I just like listening to him talk about Linux.
I think his lack of preparation and doing things unscripted is part of the charm.
Hey, about Wayland, it doesn't work fine for me at all. I use nvidia and I got like 5-10 fps on the desktop, but xorg works fine.
what is your widget called in the top right corner?
DT himself is a power user and his way of conveying things will be very different than rest does. He covers linux niche items as well and that helps me learn deeper.
IDK, i have AMD but still wayland get buggy and sometimes the compositor crashes, something that works fine on X11 here
a person can upload whatever they want to their channel as long as they do not break the laws of youtube and their country
Yeah maybe politcal views are not good idea for foss videos. But again anybody has right to speak up their own minds. I personally love DT in person and his videos. But fossocean is full of fishes to find your own idol.
I enjoy the small drama that occasionally comes up in the Linux community. It makes the community much more lively and interactive. We have to tell each other about our opinions in order to move forward. Otherwise there will hardly be any progress.
You mentioned suscribing to his channel on an RSS feed, Ive been looking for a way to practically do this to consume youtube and logging less identifiable information to the platform; Is that something you do? would be great if you cover anything in that regards
Yes, you can subscribe to his/my Odysee feed or using UA-cam's hidden RSS feed for our channels. I'll let you in on a secret: I'm setting up Peertube: spectra.video/c/trafotin/
Thank you I am a fan of DT but I enjoyed the analysis and I am with you on friendly expressions of different opinions Tux rule may the prompt not be terminal but lead us to truth and enlightenment
no hate but, 7 min. in the video, n i still couldnt figure out the main "topic" of this video, n u are giving him advise to write the script off camera, interesting...
If your a windows manger user wayland is nowhere near ready to be on a production machine. Normally the people who love wayland are either using Gnome or KDE.
I use Sway on a laptop and I think it's fine. Just haven't learned how to configure Waybar or port over my hotkeys.
@@Trafotin You think it's fine but you haven't figured out 2 of the lost important things you deal with when installing a tiling wm ?
Either you haven't spent much time on it and you can't confidently say it's fine or it's just not fine.
@@heroe1486 I am using sway on two machines on a daily basis. It is working fine.
Hi there. Long time fan and follower of several content creators in the linux & tech communities, here (although I discovered you just recently. ;) )
DT in the past was a great one, but recently I feel something's off with him. You mentionned the call out videos, but the other videos have problems as well. He's been corrected by his peers several times now on technical statements, and even his speech and voice don't feel as energetic as they used to. If you want my personal opinion, I think deep down he's given up his passion, but is probably trapped by it because he's full time youtuber nowadays.
Good video .. however, a few points could have used a little clarity... as for wayland being ready, he could of said it a little more kinder than the backhanded way he did, but he isn't altogether wrong when it gets good enough to ship with distros that are notoriously picky about shipping software that works well, then it can be considered " ready ".. as for the excerpt of the Ebuzz video you showcased, well, that response was more directed at me than DT!! As he was trying to claim, no one tried contacting him(Ebuzz), which was untrue as I and Dragonballjujitsu had tried over 18 times.. and I had stated that, so im sure DT knew he wouldn't have gotten a response either. Other than thatci agree 💯.. we as a community need to be nicer, but we also need to ensure malthisents aren't running willy nilly and giving Linux bad perceptions. So a kinder form of calling out might need to exist if it can... I don't know. I don't have all the answers.
I like DT but there's times I think he's talking about computers from the era where it was nothing but text and no gui. Living in the Terminal isn't going to attract new users to Linux. Granted you want to get geeky and compute like your in the 1980s more power to you.
He made tons of video on GUI softwares, getting started with Mint, Ubuntu etc. He also says that GUIs are the way for things like video editors.
Using a terminal isn't something from the 80s, any (non soy) developer would say that there's nothing more efficient and powerful than living inside a terminal and CLI softwares are actively developed and maintained because well that's basically what you're using inside your code.
Bro you have earned my respect. Keep up the great work!
I haven’t watched distro tube in a few years and I saw this for quite some time. He had such a shitty attitude, and then he came out with a gun thing later on which is confirmed it. I have no interest in watching his videos. And I think it’s a shame that he’s a representative.
"Its frankly ridiculous " that you're taking offense while stating that it's just his opinion...
defending his viewer being bullied in reddit is a bad thing? really?
I've been subbed to DistroTube for a while...I guess he's a Tech & Personal stuff hybrid channel. When MS and others stop their politicization of our communities, I'll stop thinking that it's important to push back against them...in whatever format the content creator feels is appropriate. Thanks for all you do. I truly enjoy your channel...got me to settle down and choose Fedora KDE spin for my main box. Keep up the great work Trafotin :)
The biggest problem with wayland is the fact that a lot of older software doesn't and prob will never work properly with wayland.
And while there is just as good or perhaps even better software available in the vast majority of cases, many people will not want to stop using default pulseaudio, or default rofi, or whatever.
This means that wayland will never work for them, this includes DT.
The only problem I have with this, is the way they frame it, wayland is the issue not the old software that is no longer being developed to support new things.
It it simply a view that is hurtful for the future of desktop linux, however, I also understand that throwing your software away that worked before is not something everyone will do, nor is testing software and figuring out why exactly something doesn't work. I wasted way to much time being frustrated with wayland at first, only to figure out that this one program just doesn't support wayland, not the other way.
E.g. The information that DT gives about wayland is simply factually false, and it is hurtful for the project, as well as sad coming from a person with such knowledge and skills in all things linux.
However this does not mean he is wrong to stay with xorg when it works for him and he has no issues with what it offers.
The only things that is left to say, just don't make a video on things you have not actually informed yourself about.
100 percent agree .. do not condem anyone or any product..
I watch both you an DT a lot. I also have noticed DT getting a bit "unusual" in some of his videos that I find myself watching less and less of him. Still I owe him a lot for getting me into Linux full time since I only transitioned away from Windows 2 years ago. But with that said, whatever the drama is, I can turn a blind eye to it as long as I get to learn something.
Sometimes DT goes Overboard
Trafotin Commentary Ark; I'm here for it
LOL Roel van de Paar.. Pretty sure that's the oldest fully autonomous AI channel on UA-cam.
I like DT’s content. I’m not as much of a free software purist as he is, I still game on windows (trying to pivot over) and use macOS, most college proctoring stuff is not compatible with Linux. But, as someone who wants to get into creating UA-cam videos who lives in south Louisiana, it’s great to see a Louisiana based UA-camr who has gained traction, even if he is from north Louisiana I think.
Admittedly, I didn’t know he started getting political. And I don’t think it’s best to not potentially alienate 1/3 to 1/2 of your followers. I’m fairly on the liberal side, so I can tell that he definitely disagrees with me on several things.
While I don't believe in "safe spaces", I do agree on the "separation of concerns", by which I mean that if you are going to dedicate your channel to Linux, don't mix in politics or ideology (or keep it to a minimum). This is the reason I stopped watching Luke and DT, among others. Don't get me wrong, I have very strong political views myself, but I don't want politics to permeate everything. Sometimes I just want technical nerd stuff.
And, yeah, your research is much appreciated. There are many big Linux channels that are very superficial with nothing but distro reviews (the worst!). I guess they got caught up in the algorithm chase, and have to pump stuff out often to keep up. I am subscribed to much smaller channels, the kind that get only about a dozen views, but the effort they put into their content keeps me coming back to them. If I could cite one example of a labor of love on your channel, I would point to the video where you showed us how to download our favorite he...manga. That was so cool and nerdy! More of that please! :D
Could you share those channels please? I'm interested!
@@heinwol They are, for the most part, Open/FreeBSD channels. Just search for content related to those and you will find them. They are small because the user-base is small. On the Linux side, there's "life, home & linux journeys". The guy puts in the effort, which is what I appreciate.
I like DT when he sticks to his tutorials on linux tools. However, I really wish he would can the videos on his politics. It has nothing to do with tech and its unneeded.
It is needed to get you out of your echo chamber.
The whole inserting politics into a channel that isn't political can push people away.
I used to watch Jerry Rig Everything all the time. Every time a video dropped, I was on it. Then, in October or November of 2020, he started adding little jabs at Conservatives. Now, I am Conservative, but believe you are more than welcome to poke fun at us, but... I didn't tune in to his videos to get a face full of politics. I tuned in to watch him torture test cellphones. I unsubscribed (without saying "I'm unsubscribing") and haven't watched him since.
There are creators that can get away with drizzling in politics. Stream of consciousness style creators, or those who have been political from the start. When you suddenly inject politics into your channel, I for one will not stick around.
Well, being allready a subscriber to DT´s channel, the only thing I can do is to subscribe to you. I hope your okay with it. ;)
Well the thing with Wayland is, as long as you stick to the standart it works fine, but if you want to run certain programs you´re running into problems. So you have to stick to the old Xorg anyway.
Same with Pipewire, Btrfs, Snap, Flatpack, AppImage and so on. There are a lot of changes ahead, but at the moment still more a work in progress than a standart, I suppose.
Only one thing Wayland is not ready for Nvidia. And DT use Nvidia.
I would like to use Wayland with Hyprland but I can't with NVIDIA RTX.
Are you sure he's using an Nvidia GPU ? I'm doubtful.
@@heroe1486 In his main machine yes, in the one that shows in his videos I don't precisely but I think also use NVIDIA
That's kind of hilarious and hypocritical of him to be using nvidia considering how much he rails against anything closed source
I watch one of your previous videos. One of the things I think I got from you, I could be wrong, is that we should not bother to learn something new until we already know all (most?) about it. Learning to read is for people who already know how to read. Maybe you did not mean that. But that is how you sound to me. A lot of videos is more like a study session in college than a professor lecturing in a classroom. I do disagree with DT's comment about guns and some other political and social issues.
You do make several very good points.
I think you articulated yourself well and agree 100% with your observations
04:00 forgetting is a thing that happens
Popcorn time. Dutt-ee dutt-eee dutt-eee dutt! Dutt-ee dutt-eee dutt-eee dutt!
There is two different versions of Linux users in the community, those that are system experts and those of us that are average joe switched from windows users. If Linux is going to grow, distro's are going to have to be stable enough for the second group also. I think his point with Wayland is based on the fact that you shouldn't need to be an expert to deal with the things that don't seem to work out of the box with Wayland or need to be fixed after it breaks something. I love the idea of Wayland 100% and think it is an awesome project, but every time I (as an average joe user of Linux) have ever tried to use Wayland, I experience all sorts of issues. If I was an expert, could I fix it or work around it? Likely. Does not change the fact that it MIGHT not be ready for stable releases. The easiest way to workaround those issues for me, as a normal joe, is to switch to x11. It does not really matter if all the distro's are at fault and not Wayland. That still does not change that there is an end user issue with Wayland. As for his politics, that is the beauty of freedom. I think there is a bunch of unneeded drama in tech-tube lately. I think most of us watch a wide range of different content creators and not only get, but enjoy different opinions and recommendations. I think those that ONLY go to one source and believe it to be the ONLY gospel is very very very low percentage. I think most of us think everyone's opinions are helpful and useful, and I think it's far more cringe for a content creator to post a hit piece about another content creator in the same topic space, then to post something about their political support beliefs.
man - *has fun creating content on the things he likes and says what he likes and what he doesnt likes*
people - *oh u cant say that !!!*
As a retired technical writer I can agree that proper preparation is important, but accuracy trumps everything else. I lived most of my working life with Microsoft operating systems and MS Office applications. Being retired I no longer put up with the Microsoft way of doing things and run Linux Mint as my daily driver. I wish I could tell you that Linux is all I run but sadly the best emulator for Windows games is still Windows. I'm still playing games like WarCraft II and StarCraft and have had nothing but grief trying to run these under Linux. Doesn't make me a horrible person, just an old retro gamer who simply wants those old games to work consistently. Gotta love Grub though, grin.
I think DT is doing a really good job though he might not be always 100% correct but I will be watching his content anyways
Dearly Beloved 🏰💙🔑
I like DT's instructional content about FOSS. But I find everything else he does is pretty trash. He's done a few shitpost/troll uploads, and I think his gun inventory and Trump rally uploads fit neatly in that category. He's just stirring up shit for engagement. And they just come off cringey at best. Some of his other hot takes on FOSS politics rubbed me the wrong way too.
So for me, I'll click on his videos if it appears to be about how to use/install/configure a program I'm interested in. That content is generally eye opening and informative. Everything else, including his opinion pieces, I just ignore. That's how I choose to engage with his content.
At really for me that looks like the main idea of that video is getting known by other name. It is not normal to talk about someone on youtube (yes, trying to be polite and etc), but also show up the post on reddit with bad comments about that person and say thank you for someone which is mention you in good way. And it is already show inprofessional to talk about some person on youtube which is trying to make good content and which not discuss others.
I’ve liked some of his videos tube, but he seems to have an issue with anything Linux that doesn’t go his way. Like he can’t understand that there are a lot of people with different needs and preferences than he does. If it doesn’t work the way he wants it too, it has to be bad.
This is one of the better tech/linux channels keep it up champ.
Very valid points. I don't get too worked up about it. I think DistroTube was just stating his opinion. He is not saying anything more than that.
Yes i have noticed some changes with the content. DIstroTube and Titus. They want to put a video up and discuss items, good for them. I have noticed that they don't make it personal, and i take it as "their opinion".
Well if they have an impact on the linux community, who is to say its negative? It is very hard to see the outcome in the future when the future is constantly moving! Maybe it will be good, maybe bad, but it will have an affect.
One thing i agree with you 1000% is "no political, religious comments on youtube. I got off of facebook and linkedin because of the comments on the pandemic. It was horrible!!!!
That's Mr DT to you .
well, DT uses a tiling WM - that tells you everything you need to know... :)
❤ from Earth
I completely dislike distrotube. Unsubbed from him years ago.
The guy just rants and rants and just states opinions. Just goes round and round in circles.
Human nature….. dangerous territory
the reason he doesn't prepare is probably to give a genuine first impression of a distro, if he prepared everything beforehand and wrote a script, it wouldn't be as much of a real review as someone just hopping into a distro.
and not everyone wants to script what they say, a lot of the time there will be something dynamic that happens that essentially requires you to go off script, and most of his videos are too dynamic for that, it's not just simple monologue.
he is also right in that wayland is unstable, it's not due to the wayland team, it is due to nvidia refusing to properly implement wayland, and whether you like it or not, the majority of users still use nvidia cards, thus in effect making wayland unstable, as it will not work properly for most people.
@@weirdo3116 no, they would use the manual, or alternatively if it was a non technical user they wouldn't bother and wouldn't like it, which is legitimate whether you like it or not, it's a geek DIY distro.
wayland is unstable on nvidia and no amount of crying will change that, only nvidia's upcoming open source drivers will however that is going to take a while.
I agrree with the comment you gave about it being okay to disagree but keep the comment s civil and respectful. I have a disagreement here of my own. I like it when Derek of Distrotube has difficulty on camera because I get to see msny of the mistakes I may have of my own. He could easily edit the video and releasing a flawless instructional but I appreciate it when he has mistakes. Ultimatley, it is his show and it is his content. IHe has helped me learn a lot...
Cool. Now do one about Luke's conspiracy theories and antisemitism. I mean.. DistroTube? Really?
Ugh, I didn’t hear the gun comment before. Mental Outlaw pulls a gun out on one of his videos a couple weeks ago. Ya’ll are sick.
DT has brainwashed me to use WMs
:) and i 70% not regreating it
Hah That's ashame
2 of my 3 machines running Linux wont work under Wayland.
DTube just went too far into drama-stirring territory. Even Linux Cast jumped in on the eBuzz drama, which isn't cool of him either. Though I think Linux Cast backed off a bit, so hopefully drama is over with him. Drama gets clicks, but they are very flash in the pan, and one may get subs, but they will just want to watch drama by then. Not tech/Linux stuff. If DTube wanted to talk about other stuff, there is nothing wrong with a second channel dedicated to that.
But if people do jump on you for "calling someone out," they need to remember, you "called out" one person, and even showed respect and how to make drama die down. DTube has called out many, deserved or not.
However, with this ending/wrap-up and your other video on gaming with Linux, I am now subscribed! Have a great day!
You made some excellent points..personally i miss Spatry's Cup Of Linux. his content was great and entertaining never heavy with opinion hit pieces. (as well as Nixie Pixel). i liked it circa 2012-2013. you could actually learn something other than a poorly formulated opinion. Spatry loved everything Linux. i don't remember him ever doing a review tearing a project down.(i could be wrong). I had many of the same arguments you presented with distrotube. i like how hes just a guy running Linux. not a developer or a programmer just some guy. i don't always agree with his take but i like the guy. a true FOSS nazi. i'm no where near as militant as he is..lol.
believes have a place in dialog, not in monolog like youtube presentations..
Most people are cool and some are quirky. I like quirky 🥰
Soon it will be reviews of distros based off the live USB iso 😆
I dont understand why people have issues with other opinions so much. DT can say wayland is not ready, you can say it is, and you can both be right. it's also not BBC documentary, nor school book, he can be wrong, emotional, not scripted, in a bad mood... heck, all that is actually what I want from a youtuber. We're grownups, we can read/write comments to find out about errors ot other opinions, we can (and all do) watch 10 other perspecitves on YT. Who would want to watch only scripted, 100% politically correct, emotionless software reviews? Wow that would be boring
+1 man
Mate, you are completely right +1 from me too
I agree with you
I think the most important thing to remember about youtube is that its not a place where you have to conform to an arbitrary standard about what content you include or exclude from you channel. Just because a channel is broadly and tech or gaming channel doesn't mean the creator can't upload personal videos or that he can't talk about something else that he likes. All youtubers including you and DT gain your audience from your personality as well as your content and I don't see why people should be pigeonholed into a category and then be restrained from doing something else. Its their channel so the owner should be free to do what he likes because the only real rule is the algorithm and it is senseless anyway.
With that said though I agree that people should be careful about making sweeping statements like ''X is broken'' because such a statement from a person with a huge following in the community has the potential to do harm to projects even if the statement was unintentional and not malicious.
Remember when DistroTube complained about GNOME being SJW because of their code of conduct
How the hell does he deepfake an anime?
You might want to look up "vtuber" ;)
google "vtubers"
Thank you for the distroQ moment
i was banned from LMR the snoonet mods are rotten to the core
Used to watch DT until one day he was promoting the use of guns, so I was like nah this is supposed to be a channel about linux. So, I just unsubscribed from the channel, and I haven't watched a video from that guy since then.
Same. Then he makes a video where he claims he was fired from his job for one incident of perceived racism, which if true is already hard to believe it was just on one incident and the one he described, it was either one if many or he is leaving a lot of detail out, he ultimately claims he was targeted by his woke employers. After that he films himself at a Trump rally 😂
@angel yeah he pretty much wears it on his sleeve doesn't he?
That's the moment when you unsubscribed? That was the moment when I became a Patreon.
@@Matthew-bb2by Different points of view.Good for you 👍
DT is a man with opinions. It's his UA-cam channel, his videos to edit and upload. Why would you be bothered with him talking about unrelated topics?
How do you feel about pineapple on pizza?
Not a fan, but you can do it if you want.
i am more selective then I have in the past on the Linux YTers i watch ... some still are top notch people and comments but there are a few i just choose not to watch (i will leave it there) ... like ones i watch are Inf. Galax. when he uploads ... one I just found Brodie Robertson, and while i dont agree with some of his non-tech views, he has some great tutorials, Luke Smith.
CTL and say DT i dont know ... some good info, but some bad vibes so to speak (please no one read too much into that) ..i cant explain it but really .. .no one is FORCING me to watch anyone's videos so yeah ... i choose not to watch their content ... and that is that
note: honestly there is not really a huge issue from me with unscript, off the cuff video ... esp say if streamed in a "first imperssions, 'this is my first look', no 'I hve used this for a month' " video ... THOUGH an update video is a content video.
It's when there is mistake after mistake ... at least do a cut in the video man.
It's the takes with DT where "that is just wrong" over and over again that has turned me off. not that I disagree ... it's when he is just saying things that ARE NOT true.
heck wanting to stay with older tech .... I have no problem ... going on my last point ... it's when it's based on "facts" that are just wrong.
When I watch distrotube speak I'm constantly worrying coz' he sounds like he's always running out of breath.
respect++
Great video!
DT's great, highly recommended.
Came from the clickbait title (not a diss, I respect it), subbed for your clear way of explaining things!
Based on that gun freedom open source take of his alone, no I will not be subbing distrotube! I'll stay right here and enjoy your content tratofin. Great video!

Drama within the Linux UA-cam crowd? Ho-ly shit that's petty. Who cares?!?!
So you are going to ignore how Nvidia being a huge part in the market being screwed over while Linux is pushed to be common?
I'm mors likely to listen to someone who lives in the tech like Brodie when it comes to Wayland rather someone who spends 5 minutes and calls it a review.
It seems like DT made a conscious choice 2-3 years ago to start making ideologically oriented videos. It likely makes him money. I thought the right wing stuff was weird, but then again RW stuff has mad pull on this platform. I still watch his videos regularly, but I agree that he could benefit from embracing new technological developments and dropping the politics and callouts. Cheers!
Linux Vtuber? Is this real? 🤯🤯🤯
Finally someone spoke the truth about this guy.
DT is absolutely correct that Wayland is still not ready.
