Wait thats the same guy from "Dave's Garage" youtube channel? ..LOL ..thats crazy, I watch his videos sometimes.

Took you long enough on Dave. Numerous MSFT folk have talked about him not doing what he claims for years. They kept it low key because tangling with a compulsive liar just leads to problems nobody needs.

Kinda scary nowadays how's literally impossible to escape from your past, no matter how serious it is. Not saying this wasn't any serious, it's just scary that people can just call out on other people's past on the Internet, for little as it may be, not allowing anyone to live with regret, but haunted instead.

Kinda natural that all related to Microsoft it's scamish.

I do like Dave. There are a couple of things that come to mind;
1. I'm sure he will learn from the experience.
2. He must have used the US business model aka Ferengi rules of aquisition 😂😂😂

Dave Plummer looks criminal in that thumbnail.

Thank You Chris! Your streams are super awesome, and commend you for using different Linux distros and offering honest feedback

[conceptrat]

Chris needs to add a kernel boot driver into his winutils package for side channel updates and do some GSOP popups 😸

[ozonhod]

idk if its just because its void linux, but the icon chris uses for the ram/memory, it doesnt work for the fastfetch config, and idk where to find it via nerd fonts site, can anyone help me?

[RockyAllenLane]

What are you using these days for Root Kit detection? Thanks.

The Dave Plummer stuff is public knowledge, or is there a new campaign to get him recancelled? 😮

[not_cool_dev]

The Sonnet model is definitely worth looking into more. I have have been experimenting with prompts that are about 3 paragraphs long, and (depending on programming language) the results are starting to get good.

[Rousent]

Inútil means Useless in Spanish. So when I read Linutil, you know, that was funny...

[mhelmreich]

WOW!
I think that was the very software (Dave Plummer's stuff @ circa 6:00) that made me ditch Windows around 2001 and shift to Linux. I have been using Linux for everything since then.
I still hear/see/read people say that you can't use Linux for everything, - well I do.

[jeroenvermiljoen]

The davepl situation is old news, seen it talked about on 4chan and kf many times.

[mypeeps]

does win utility auto update? Has anything new come out since march 2024?

[NullPointer]

Be careful when using the QT settings app from outside KDE.
I tried to fix my hyprland theming and it worked fine, but when I switched back to Plasma everything was borked, the themes were broken and had to reinstall them

Daves Garage makes interesting videos, but him flexing his wealth as a millionaire rubbed me the wrong, as anytime someone does that.
People who value having a lot of money, have to place that above being moral and honest.

[lglexrs]

Honestly people are acting like there's a lot more there with the Dave thing than it really was. him just being an employee of some company, even a higher paid employee like a CTO, still just a job. Guy landed a high paying job, if you've ever worked for any similarly user-hostile company like HP/Google/Adobe etc then you're exactly as "dirty" as he is in this thing. That type of "marketing" is exactly what every other popular software back in the day did, everything out there was all bundled-toolbars and popups galore. Lots even still do today, like those driver updater apps and CCleaner clones that all act like your computer is going to explode if you don't buy their premium subscription. The whole thing is giant nothingburger, and the dude who made the original video as if he "uncovered" something should be embarrassed.

I'm new to linux and I try to follow along and do this stuff but always fail. Are there step by step lists on how to do this stuff? I know im doing things incorrectly but my level in linux is super low.
