    I was very surprised that Linus (T) didn’t knew about arch btw. And even didn’t know about Linux ISO joke… Come on… Linus is really only looking at emails.

    So the video is just the two of them pulling out a 20 year-old ThinkStation and plugging in a flash drive?

    Holy shit, never saw teeth that looked as fake as Linus T’s (apart from obvious gold bling crap).

      You know the silly stuff at the start was actually Torvald’s idea, right?

      Linus (Sebastian) spoke about how he didn’t even get the reference but Torvalds prompted him to go and watch Highlander (“there can only be one!!”)

      You should’ve kept watching it. There’s some good stuff there.

        I laughed so hard at the highlander reference. It might just be that you gotta know the specific meme and culture to enjoy it. Even YouTube Linus didn’t know the reference.

        Seeing the two Linus’s pulling out katanas on each other was hilarious.

          Different generations. They didn’t get each other’s cultural references.

      You didn’t last long enough. Really good flowing interview after the initial over the top YouTube shenanigans

        I thought it was one of the better LTT videos for sure. Torvalds is much better on camera than he claims to be and it was interesting to see his outlook on a broad range of questions.

          It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.

          Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).

            That joke, about just uploading everything and letting others decide what’s worth saving, is one I first heard decades ago. Might still have been him who first made it.
