  • What you describe is a very recent phenomenon. They all were Windows exclusive until around when Microsoft announced the Windows 10 EoL date. Up to that point, pretty much every single video touching Linux, and especially those with Linus as the protagonist, were quite negative, sometimes for no reason at all, e.g. when he complained about UI elements that weren’t aligned with the Windows UX.

    And this isn’t new either. Linus has a bias, like everyone else, and that’s fine, but one cannot play personal preferences as the gold standard, see his long term opinion about the iPhone vs Android, or his early videos trying to use Linux. The latter especially are famous in the Linux community of creators, you can find several reaction videos commenting on the topic.






  • I would like to know what’s the influence of first generation immigration in these charts, because the states are kind of shit at reporting that.

    My kids speak Spanish. They can read in both Spanish and English, but they learned Spanish first, so it took them a while to catch up in English. Many of their classmates come from Spanish speaking families, English is their second language, and they have a bit more of trouble. The issue here is that state level standardized testing doesn’t seem to care about Spanish at all, so you may find a bunch of very smart kids who score below average just because they speak more than one language, which is frankly insane.
