People would read the second message, type the yes prompt, break their system. But still claim that it was linux’s fault, and that the OS doesn’t work.
Honestly I once did this to my desktop environment because I saw a huge list of packages and ignored it because I thought they were packages that could be upgraded, not that it was going to uninstall my fucking desktop lol

the famous “This incident will be reported” error was briefly removed last year before being replaced with a less ominous version.
I’ll never forget this one lmao
There’s also the naughty programmer getting spanked by EFL
EFL is an absolute crime against programmer-kind, even if the errors are, admittedly, hilarious. can assert that they are not so funny when you find them deeeeep in some god-forsaken legacy codebase that’s seen more
null *s than git commits lol
score 10 or sacrifice childis actually just a MtG card, how did that get in thereI can’t imagine Linux users and mtg players being mutually exclusive lol
We’re not
Gah and I spent all that money on a garage foundation.
Reminds me of the Chocolatey Uninstall script warning
“It’s possible I did something wrong.” 🤣
Like not read the warning that said that he was about to uninstall the desktop? Or to continue only if he knew what he was doing? He also earlier liked to talk about “red flags”, but somehow needing to type in “Yes, do as I say!” wasn’t one to him. I’m supposed to be getting Linux tips from this guy?What makes you think your average Windows user that is trying out Linux for the first time wouldn’t have faced the same problem? I never understood why people criticized Linus for this video. After all, the video was supposed to see whether Linux is a viable alternative for Windows users (specifically gamers).
Yes. People have been trained to ignore warnings like this.
Android makes you jump through a hoop and tries to scare you when you want to install apps from outside the playstore.
Windows has some similarly serious-sounding warning messages.
People have got used to rolling their eyes at warnings when installing software. Like it or not, that’s the way that it is. Users are used to seeing a scary warning when installing, and they’re used to just powering through it without much thought.
Linus was following a tutorial on the PopOS website, followed the instructions, and borked his install.
I have problems with LTT in general, but the PopOS thing was entirely understandable, and people pretending that wasn’t a usability problem in PopOS are delusional.
I agree with that other reply.
Linus knew just enough to be dangerous.
My experience with most Windows users and their first encounter with using a Linux terminal is every single warning/error they see no matter how mundane is a big deal.
Things like the boot text or a random
aptinstall on Linux will often display various warnings or even “errors” that are really of no concern but ime tend to freak out new users.Linus is in that narrow band where he doesn’t really know shit but knows just enough to be falsely confident and ignore all the warnings/errors instead of just the irrelevant ones

Your system ate a SPARC! Gah
What does this mean? Does it has something to do with… I don’t know, the Sun SPARC CPUs?
Okay, but what is sparc and pa-risc?
OMG I feel old.
Also regret the money I spent buying Sun stock in the late 90s.
As someone who was Sun Certified 5.7.1 to version 10, I feel this way too hard as well.
nice

What am I missing in the “end Kernel panic” one?
lp0: on fire
I’ve been messing around with Linux VMs and have gotten kernel panic a lot lately. Always gives me a chuckle
php has a log message about killing children, i think i saw once
