Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!

As I am subbed to LTT, I saw the video as well, and I thought it was fun, watching those two interact with each other. I also loved the personality of Linus torvalds, over that of Linus Sabastian any day of the week.
Good on Linus for reading Linus's book, he knows more about him then I do. I just know he started Linux, before it expanded into the many distro's that it is today. A few jabs were thrown at each other, I think Linus Torvalds came out on top most of the time.
And I am totally with him on social networking, its not our thing, we didn't really grow up with it, we don't have a need to seek validation from other's, were anti-social, we do our own things, and don't want lots of people complicating our lives, with their own mess.
Also, while that transparent screwdriver is really cool, I had already bought his stealth screwdriver months ago, I don't see a need to pay more then I did pre-tarrifs, just to get transparent.
I also love that case he chose for the computer build, I would choose that one too, cause of the expert level of airflow you'll get, keeping that thing cool. I also agree with the sentiment, build a high end machine, just 1-tier bellow the best.
Thats what my notebook is! When I picked my machine out, I could have gone with the Core I9 CPU, I'd pay more for it, and it was known to overheat, cause even the dual fans and copper heat pipes, couldn't tame it! I went with the Core I7, and its been rock solid ever since.
I also use a cooling pad, so when I let my computer boost clocks, it gets extra cooling, so the temps only hit 80C momentarily, but usually kept cool around 70C. If I run normal clocks, I usually see it around 34C doing nothing.
I love Linus Torvalds philosophy on life, computers, & coding. Both Linus's are successful, for completely different reasons. Between each other, I think they both bring a lot to the community.
Also, before we had Linus Sabastian, we had 3DGameMan, who brought us reviews, back in the early days of gaming, circa 2000's. No kid today knows who he is, but those of us who are older, we know who he is, he literally started the program on video reviews & gaming.
Unfortunately, Rodney Renalds got tired of doing video reviews, right around the time LTT was starting to get big, Rodney just up and disappeared. He since has returned, but he doesn't make the kind of video's he used to, he just gave Linus the torch IMO.
Anyways, great video, I immensely enjoyed it, I still think Linus Torvalds is the better man, and its obvious to anyone who watches the video. Linus Sabastian cares too much what others think of him, and is too hooked up with social networking, and selling and advertising his merch. Linus Torvalds keeps it real, love that guy.

And we have learned from the Video one essential Thing: We now have to use Fedora Gnome like the Master himself, hahaha!

For some reason, I always found LTT videos really interesting to watch, even if I've never built my own computer or anything. This one looks promising!

I'm a Floatplane subscriber, so I've got to see all the extra videos too. It was so cool to see Linus T and hear about his philosophy, and what he likes and doesn't like about some Linux flavours. The video of Linus T hanging out with the crew of LTT was great too - never seen them all look so nervous and shy.
It is worth mentioning that both Riley (in Tech News) and Linus have talked about the release of Zorin_OS 18, BUT that neither of them understand Zorin_Pro! "Why should you pay for Zorin when you can get Mint for free?" kind of comments. That proves that Zorin_Pro is misunderstood by quite a lot of people, I've seen many, many people not getting the fact that Core, Lite and Education are completely FREE of charge, that they're being missed completely by some is a bit frustrating too.
I think we need to be vocal in correcting this misunderstanding as much as possible. It might also be a good idea for the Zorin brothers to take a look at how Zorin_OS, and in particular, Zorin_OS PRO is marketed. A lot of Linux users don't get that it's a way of supporting the project, not having to pay for a professional version.
