This literally doubles (if not more) the workload to run these benchmarks, not to mention having to write new automation procedures and Steve just not being familiar with Linux at all, all for 2-3% (tops) of his audience.
Be glad that he is doing them in the future and don’t be a demanding, entitled prick.
If what you’ve chosen to learn could help someone right in front of you, and they’re asking for help, you do not feel compelled to help them? I doubt that.
Depends on the topic. If enlightening them means I am enabling them to harm themselves, then no. Helping people waste time gaming and draw even more Steam users and their Windows crapware games towards tainting the purity of Linux is harming them and Linux, so no. No helping that.
There are big issues with the modern video games industry. Like a lot of software they deny user’s computing freedoms, and as such facilitate designs to repeatedly make money using psychology tricks. However, to reject video games as a waste of time goes to show how one can not know what they’re missing.
Video games are a peak of higher-functioning life: play. A structured form of play which can go beyond physical games. Life is poorer without the immergent stories of a fantasy world (Dwarf Fortress) or competing in a consequence-free violence of street-fighting (Street Fighter).
Honestly, it’s about damn time.
These technical people should be ashamed it took them so long to adopt Linux.

Yeah, that’s the problem. Just like with LinusTechTips, these youtubers aren’t half as knowledgeable as they’d like their audiences to believe.
They should be ashamed, and you should stop being being a simp.
Grow the fuck up.
Let’s put that in a way that isn’t so off putting. It’s the duty of those in the know help those who are not when possible.
No it’s not. There is no duty to anyone. Go to a library or book store and read what you want to learn.
