There are a lot of people that work behind the scenes on the Linus Tech Tips videos, but does that mean all the writers think the same? Do they all agree with each other on controversial topics in the tech world? Today we put that to the test asking questions about software, hardware, and AI to see if Elijah, Adam, Nicholas and David all agree or have opinions that are different from each other.

MY GOD! Someone get Elijah off of KDenlive and get him on DaVinci Resolve! You monsters!
I struggle to call SteamOS a linux software. Its almost the same as a normal Console OS but with the option to use a normal browser. I've used the desktop features maybe 2 or 3 times in the few years i've owned a steamdeck. Its limited to a mobile device right now, but that opinion would probably change if i could daily it in a desktop.
God, in a world of tiktok influencer nonsense, it's so refreshing to see a group of intelligent, well-informed people having valid and conflicting opinions on topics and discussing them civilly.
This is a GREAT video format. PLEASE take it and run with it! Would love to see more videos like this 🙌
This is a great video and I would love more content like this. Awesome!
I love this new show
Please do more of it
I think the biggest issue with open source software nowadays is that the term "open source" slowly becomes a buzzword (like AI).
On one hand we have a lot of really good pieces of open source software (musescore is my personal favorite, especially after their massive overhaul of its infrastructure, code and playback engine). But there's a lot of junk that's advertised as "open source"
What? You sell Astra Linux? You want me to shove 300 USD+ down your throat to buy a license for the operating system, that's basically a really old overdigested Red Hat distro with KDE Plasma on top of it? Let's say I'm willing to do so, can other people contribute to the development of Astra Linux? No. Can I at least request your source code, so it could be audited? Nah.
Make this a podcast please
Console also requires you to have a paid subscription to play online. Consoles also don't have steam sales. Console also doesn't have dynamic pricing cough "Sony".
The floatplane name drop before the marketplace section was SUPER tasteful 😂
This is what AI should of been marketed all along, a tool for individuals to ease and streamline their lives. Not replace swaths of employees so the CEOs can make an extra billion this quarter.
Your boss asks you if he is a shill. Only totally honest answers can follow. Let me answer it for them, since I am not biased. YES F4CKING YES! He is a total shill!
I would pay top dollar to just hear Adam rant at length, Adam is my spirit animal
it's a breath of fresh air to see ai/llms discussed in an actual nuanced way. yes, it is a tool and there's nothing wrong with using tools like tools to make your life easier
I don't know his name, but the tall guy. His response right before 16:18 is exactly my view.
There are hundreds of movies I want to add to my collection, to see again, but they never got released on DVD or Blu-Ray.
I have looked at countless websites and online stores for them.
I don't WANT to get a movie from an unauthorized retailer, but when you've searched for 10-15 years for something…you start to question it.
"Youtube would have calmed down on ads" is an absolutely horrible take. They're 100% profit driven.
"I can't see it happening due to the state of the linux community". I tried switching to Linux 15 years ago and man, that was the least helpful community I've ever encountered, so I eventually just gave up and never looked back. Sad to hear that it still hasn't changed.
Ray tracing is pointless to most people…. to GAMERS, it is VERY much a point that they care about! I care about, most people I know are NOT gamers, especially high end PC gamers. SO YES, its pointless to most PEOPLE, but GAMERS, I STRONGLY disagree!
As an Australian. I 100% think piracy is justifiable. There are some TV shows that I literally cannot enjoy on any streaming service. Some streaming services have lost licenses to some seasons not all so I could be wanting to watch something and realising that netflix has season 1-4 and 12, amazon has 5-9 but nowhere has 10-11. I try getting all my media legit. I have had a subscription to 7 different streaming services at once and there were still shows that were not on any available services. Another issue is shows from 2000-2010's when streaming licensing was problematic. For example if you watch scrubs on Disney plus (hulu) the soundtrack is modified because of the music license to stream online and it ruins the experience (i luckily own the DVDs so I can still watch as god intended). Also theres a reason australia had the highest piracy of games of thrones. Our cable TV service foxtel had it behind a second tier and it would have cost Australians $80 a month to watch game of thrones.
If you price people out of the market, people will pirate. That being said it still have 3 streaming services and Spotify to try to support creators where I can. I also use physical games where I can.
I also think that reviews generally cannot depict or consider everything a typical user may encounter, but the main problem is long-term use. Aspects such as reliability, updates, and support issues may affect someone, even financially, and these are things that reviewers simply can't test or predict. For example, if you buy a phone with a one-year warranty and the batteries on this model all fail after around two years, you lose a lot of money. Most of the time, reviewers don't care about repairability either. I often wish there were a ranking of the most repairable devices. Are parts available? Are they cheap? These kinds of things. Most reviews only care about performance and price or nitpick things that may be mildly inconvenient but have no real impact compared to reliability and repairability.
