Man, uhhh okay:

  1. The man mentions Chimera, Holo, and Bazzite, then proceeds to take the single most difficult route to installation, with the least amount of hardware support and functionality. Don't they have any Linux people on staff? Where is Emily?

  2. We're expecting a "general use" image in literally a few days and they couldn't hold off?

This allows him to make another follow up video in a few days And thus creating twice the content/clicks

This is kind of par for the course for LTT. They somehow go the dumbest route in doing things and then wonder why things don't work or break. I'd argue that most of the gaming related immutable distros should provide a decent out of the box experience, simply because that's what they're supposed to do. Maybe not quite as streamlined and fancy looking as SteamOS but functionality wise it should be fine and even more functional / flexible. Though, I'm sure he'll then cry about additional ways to install things that are too complicated, like Distrobox, ignoring his own advice of just sticking to app stores like Discover, which somehow is only valid for SteamOS.

I believed I heard Emily's voice in the background, actually

I thought they were gone? Like left the show entirely.

According to her pinned Xitter post, Emily left LMG at the end of August already.

Ah well that's a loss for everyone.
