I like Linus as he's an important figure on the tech side of the internet. Mainly now that he's covering Linux... and may we like it or not, people are a herd and follow fashion... for bad or for good. In this case it is for good, because it brings people fresh air and can encourage some if not many to, at least, try Linux and open their truncated view on the computing world.
Now, with the resources he has and the knowledgeable people surrounding him that he also has, it is honestly jaw-dropping how his videos don't pass quality check whatsoever. Because if it did, some illuminated mind would know how tf GitHub works. I bet my left testicle that at least one of his staff knows it, so why don't ask, when you clearly have doubts about it?

Disappointed he didn't show what to actually do after downloading the zip file.
Because I've downloaded zip files, extracted them, and then can't seem to find any kind of .exe file in them to do anything with it. I've had this issue with numerous files from github, so I know it's something I must be doing wrong.
I go to Code -> Download zip -> I create a folder on my desktop that I put the zip file in -> Right click the zip and click Extract here -> the zip file has --master- at the end -> I look into the extracted folder and there is no .exe file to start anything up with or install anything. No idea what I'm doing wrong. Had this issue with both XOutput and ViGEmBus that I tried to download from github

Chris want to thank you i'm a linux die hard love it only use it besides at work and members of the community like you give me hope to one day not have to use windows on a daily basis. Its so hard to gain the trust of an org to progress when they are windows based and you know nothing about windows but know a lot about linux thank you for making me realize that I made the correct choice by using Linux not being a normal person using windows or mac. I was just offered a big promotion because the org I work for was purchased and the new org runs Linux based systems they asked if anyone was familiar and I was able to raise my hand I got the promotion. I watch you everyday and learn everyday thank you!\

hahaha, linus's point was that these things are not intuitive as they don't match the established 'quality of life' design language of bigger OSs and can even be seen as scary/vestigial of yesteryear. much like myself being here to figure our how to keep a folder on a system updated from git, the user exp is not intuitive and requires learning ... well, how to read a hell of a lot... and then reading some more as often things are outdated, obsolete, or down right deleted. for example, All the articles describing 'git clone' are obsolete as now i have to read several pages on what a personal token is, how to configure it for my use case, and implement it... all inplace of a simple password >

what a big pile of $%-& git hub wants to sort itself out (or linux) after watching this i wanted to slit my wrists no wonder windows is so unstoppable, im sick of hearing -all you have to do is- followed by 6 weeks of lessons 44 ways to do one thing, i like GUI as does most the world for example windows is still GUI watch as its terminal takes a back seat for 99% of the world. i will continue using linux but its got to look at its self and ask why dont people like our text way of doing same stuf as one click windows lets go back and paint on cave walls. p.s your still the best tech tuber ty for trying chris

And this is exactly the reason why I stopped even bothering with LTT. If he doesn't like how something is done he throws a fit and bashes whatever tech he doesn't like and pretty much tells everyone that the tech is wasted and useless, he's in it for the clout not the tech. You on the other hand I just stumbled onto and because of your explanation of Github I now want to dive into the world of Lynux and scripting. Tell me you wanna improve the world without telling me you wanna improve the world, LTT ya got some learnin to do!

the problem with github is that they expect you to know how to do things already which is extremely counterintuitive, especially for someone who's trying to get into linux. it's one of the many reasons why i dont see linux becoming a mainstream OS. People in the linux community EXPECT YOU how to do things WITHOUT ASSISTANCE via GUI. TERMINAL OR NOTHING.
Unless Linux can get GUI extremely basic just like Windows, it will forever stay in the developer mindset and will never reach the average joe.

Is it really that weird to work with Windows as a developer? Now I'm questioning myself.
I absolutely completely Do Not Understand windows, compared to Linux. But I'm still doing all my normal day to day work in Windows 10. Hmm. Is it time to make the switch?
Guess the main thing I'm scared for is how well multiple desktop's + iCue/corsair profiles work.
Interesting. Came for git, got away with linux.

Found his -if GitHub is just for developers, then desktop Linux is only for developers- take so bizzar. I'm not a developer, I cant code, and use Github probably 5 days out of the weeks, and now thanks to you Linux 90% of the time. Think it says more about his lack of experience with the opensource projects more then anything else.

i feel like Linus had 30 minutes to get through that task, reached github, saw the file and right clicked on it to save it, without even seeing if there was any other available option, and rambled about it.
