For us not in the know, why is this bad?

Is he ""bigoted"" ? :(

I have no idea who he is, never heard of him. You shall not judge a book by its cover but .. he is making it hard. His video titles are:

* Devuan: The Non-Woke Debian Linux Fork (Without Systemd)

* NeoFetch But in Rust and More Gay

* Chimera Linux is "Here to Further Woke Agenda by Turning Free Software Gay"

* Are Jews the Cause of DEI in Big Tech?

Yeah .. I did not watch a single video of his. But just from a short few seconds It's not anything I want to invest time in to see if he has a point or not. Life is too short.

The maker of the provocative "Linux sucks" series is a bit of a troll. He's made videos on technical projects he doesn't understand (or care about) and just mocks them if they don't gel with him. As far as I can tell he doesn't really care, or if he thinks he does - his actions aren't translating well.

How do I know? As a FOSS developer myself with a decade plus public history I also happen to know a few people running prominent FOSS projects.

He's burned bridges for no good reason. He doesn't care.

He's harassed people, including one of my friends.

Lunduke is a grifter and just generally a bit of an idiot.

e.g. I remember he once claimed Google was censoring him when he was de-listed from search, this was way back in 2009. His site had a malicious iframe because the PHP CMS he was using had been compromised.

His politics are kinda irrelevant to me. There are people who are Agorist/Libertarian/Conservative tech influencers online that do decent and informative content e.g. Sam Bent.
