I’m not a tech guy
Yeah I think he’s a tech guy…he just doesn’t know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).
By saying he’s not a tech guy probably just means he’s not a programmer. But with how he’s done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.
I also don’t think he paid anyone. I’m not even a fan of his so I’m not blindly defending him. From the video alone he just seems like a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.
I remember when he played minecraft and made a redstone contraption to auto-feed villagers or something. He started by saying that he wasn’t good at redstone and proceeds to show something so complex that I would have to follow a tutorial to make it.
He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it’s computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.
I am a programmer, and I can barely put together a latch in redstone. Anyone that programs redstone is a “tech guy” to me (whether they can build a PC or not).
He did Linux much better than Linus of LTT fame.
Yes but he’s obviously far more qualified. LTT was trying to give real-world impressions of someone with a technical mind but also zero experience with Linux. Yes, he did something dumb and was clearly not paying attention, but also he never should have been put in that position in the first place.
Makes custom bash script for his sponsor spot
Oh my God, a bash script. My kids were doing those when they were still in middle school. Only one of the three went into a technical career.
If he’s like really into it why use neofetch? Why not fastfetch or something? I like Crabfetch myself because Rust even though I’m not a programmer.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he paid someone else to do all that lol

I mean, he’s a retired guy with new hobby, it wouldn’t seem too out of the question that he spent a good chunk of time following tutorials for things that have plenty of tutorials out there.
