From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i buy from linux hardware companies and malibal was so bizarre that they're the only ones i haven't yet purchased from and now i know that i never will.
Malibal is hilariously scummy.
Kudos to Niccolò for openly speaking about his mistake of incorrectly stating his video was not sponsored. However I think he made a second mistake which is more serve. As a content creator he must pay more attention to what companies he's accepting sponsorship from. Given the track record of malibal, this should have been a red flag in the first place.
When you let anyone make a “TV channel” even when they don’t have a legal team.
That comes from a position of privilege though. Getting to choose which companies sponsor you is only viable if your channel is large or you have multiple options to pick from.
"It's a privilege to not sell your soul" ?
It’s a privilege to not have to worry about making a living.
Well, they seem sane
You must be at Least this high to work here.
Tap for spoiler
What even are they snorting?
So, I cant watch the video right now
Is this like a shitpost, or one of these Clickbait Videos where someone tries to download linux and they just tripped some captcha system, so now they clickbait that to infinity?
Its about Malibal, an infamous linux/windows hardware company. The person in the video is a KDE dev (Niccolo).
