Personally, I find his Linux and privacy-related endeavors commendable, but I widely disregard of his political stances.

Same as Luke smith, good linux content but they both cryptofascists. Also its funny that they both turned into grifters, one with monero and one with a shitty dropshipping merch.

He’s very edgy, I don’t like his content. If I want someone to talk about tech, I’d rather they just talk about tech and not make wojack thumbnails and constantly making fun of politics.

It’s because he just regurgitates all his takes from /g/ on 4chan.

This, never liked his content TBH. Luke Smith is similar but Luke’s Linux content is good.

I disagree with his right-wing libertarianism, as many have said. I found him when i was getting into tech privacy stuff and watched it, then youtube started giving me more of the harder weirdos who were a little more fashy. I dont think Mental Outlaw is a facist, dont get me wrong - but the youtube algorithm may send you that direction.

I think his older stuff was better and just had more content in each video. More recent videos (last 6-12 months?) it seems like he’s got two news articles he reads but then he just goes on big tangents to fill space.

Tech content is passable, wish he’d stick to that. Been losing points with politics, cheap merch and lazying out with what basically amounts to reaction videos.

Any other recommendations for tech content? Seytonic and The new oil are nice.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
