Unfortunately, Luke removed his wallpaper repo, but there are forks of it.

I downloaded his wallpaper repo back in 2019 and hidden among the hundreds of beautiful wallpapers are wallpaper that contain the Black Sun symbol (nazi occult symbol) and other Thulean occult symbols. It's ironic that he uses Thulean symbols, since Thulean occultists generally really hate Christianity (because they see it as being "too Jewish") and he is a very religious Christian (from what I understand, he either already converted to Orthodox Christianity, or is considering it).

It's really really creepy.

I owe a lot to his LaTeX series, as I learnt a lot from him but his political opinions scare me because he knows how to obscure and obfuscate his true opinions, but sometimes he lets them slip.

I have a love-hate relationship with him. I really like his WM ricing content and other tech content, but I can't stand his pseudointellectual rants and pseudoscientific opinions. On the other hand, I also have some objections with his tech-content because I think he really fuels the toxic elitism found in lots of GNU/Linux communities. I know that he is usually joking but his comment sections are extremely toxic as a result of his "ironic elitism". But at the same time, I keep coming back to his content. I have no idea why, but there's just something about him that makes me want to keep listening to him talk, even though I disagree with like 80% of what he says.

Fuck this article, though. This is not the way to criticize Luke. "ON NOO, he likes the so-called 'open-source software'. What a horrible monster".

If you want to criticize Luke, then criticize his actual views, not his promotion of open-source software. What awful lazy journalism.

Yeah, had no idea he's so far to the right. Seeing other ppl in this thread giving more examples of his views. I saw that his non tech rants lean towards libertarian crap which bores me to tears so I was just watching his tech videos which interest me. And his tech related content is good, although I find his faux tech elitism annoying as well.
