   Latest LTT video is peak ragebait again:Does a whole explanation that Linux is just a kernel and not an operating system with a full sketch and everything.
   Somehow still avoids mentioning GNU.
   "We tested six distros!"
   6 random flavor of the month meme distros instead of just straight picking Debian, Fedora, Arch, etc.
   "From the perspective of a gamer..."
   "We tested 4 different games"
   Only Windows exclusive games for some reason, instead of doing the sensible thing and running native games.
   Every single distro only has an unnoticeable 1-2fps difference in game performance, making this entire video pointless.
   Conclusion: Updating software might slightly improve performance sometimes. (no shit?)

     @SuperDicq those games run on the Steam Linux Runtime, meaning they have all the same base libraries and, as shown in the video, there is no difference in performance, so the test is useless. They also mentioned that they benchmarked Garuda with the CachyOS kernel, so the test is also misleading as they aren't testing Garuda as it comes from the developers.
