    Not exactly a new idea. IIRC, this was also one of the design goals of the OLPC back in 2005.

      By the way, the same discussion about modularity is going back and forth in the software world all the time, maybe most famously for operating systems: So-called "micro kernel" designs vs "monolithic kernel", see for instance the Tannenbaum-Torvalds debate.

        Update from Linus:

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          That video was annoying as fuck. Did he send away for a "How to YouTube like the PROs!!!1" kit or something? He managed to fit all the cliches into the first minute.

          Please love yourself.

            I agree that it's annoying as hell.

            BUT Linus' Tech Tips is one of the most-watched YouTUbe Channels., so, yeah, he probably does know how to YouTube.

            Linus Gabriel Sebastian (born August 20, 1986) is a Canadian YouTuber. Sebastian is best known for creating and hosting YouTube channels that cover technology, especially Linus Tech Tips (LTT). His channels have a combined subscriber base of over 26 million.

            As of March 2021, Linus Tech Tips is the most-watched technology channel on YouTube.[2] In 2014, Tubefilter named the channel as being within the "top 1% of Google's preferred advertising channels" on YouTube for the technology category.[3] In 2015, Inc. magazine ranked Sebastian fourth in a list of the "Top 30 Power Players in Tech"

              That's like saying Meghan Trainor outshines Mozart because she has more listens on Spotify.

              There are many, many ways to run a successful channel. This guy's choosing to continue with the bro tactics of 10 years ago.

                Linus has always been annoying, but he's pretty honest, which can't be said for a lot of tech review places, and he knows a lot about technology, which also can't be said for a lot of tech review places.

                I was only joking

                  Is that a problem?
                  What alternatives would you prefer?

                    Rather than dissing on how Linus is presenting this, any thoughts on the actual subject of his video?

                    People scream about the lack of customization and upgradability of Apple's (and increasingly other compainies') products. Framework seems to be a viable solution to this.

                    If you like Windows, that is.

                      I think it sounds like a great idea, and the fact that Linus is so positive about it speaks volumes, at least for me.
