All of those are streamers, and a single digit list of those (5 of them). I would have liked to see a linux community recognize entire community of experts, but this whole argument seems to be just people taking their favorite streaming personalities and doing a lot of what’s wrong in reality shows with them. If all your experts are streamers, you have a very flawed definition of an expert.
Thanks for getting your feet wet, though. Louis Rossmann is more of a consumer right’s advocate nowadays, Gamers Nexus and Wendell are more of the same generalists that would compete in LTT’s interest base, and Wendell and the rest have a focus more on the side of *nux and more professional deployments. To me, three out of the five being Linux domained says the issue is less about someone being an expert than what they are expert in, and Louis Rossmann being nudged along with Gamer’s Nexus when he’s sort of out of the domain involved yet him being a key supporting figure along with Gamer’s Nexus criticism in the past hints that his inclusion might be prioritized on that instead. Also, Louis Rossmann is literally trying to get people to avatar Clippy … because lesser evil is an icon of antiAI or some such?
Not criticizing those streamers, just trying to see where a lot of the drama is coming from and whether my own assumptions on that are justified. A lot of them seem to be from people with more expertise in the Linux community. Linus has been pushing for Linux adoption for people outside of the community for some time now, and because he appeals to that outside community more has generally been more effective at it.
Wait, so you want me to list maintainers of projects or something? Someone that isn’t well known?
I really have no idea what you’re asking for.

Wouldn’t know. Don’t care.
He’s a lying cheating clown. Literally every single video, review, and product recommendation from LTT prior to the Gamers Nexus video about them is null and void. That means tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands (or more), of people made purchasing decisions based on bogus data.
Then there was the storage server video. That was basically using-a-porcelain-dinner-plate-to-hammer-a-nail levels of “expertise”.
I hear you on the frustration with the errors and the Billet Labs situation; those were legitimate issues. But I think there’s a difference between holding someone accountable and writing them off permanently.
The thing is, LMG did take concrete steps after the GN video:
They paused uploads for a week
Established an error-checking team (ECC squad)
Have been building out their lab infrastructure (their PSU testing and articles can be really neat)
Are they perfect now? No. But if we don’t acknowledge when people/companies make genuine efforts to improve, what’s the incentive for anyone to try?
I’m not saying you have to watch LTT or trust everything they say. But the “his opinion literally means nothing to me” stance feels pretty absolute for a situation where they’ve at least attempted course correction. Most of us have professional screw-ups we’ve learned from. I think the question is whether the response was adequate, not whether mistakes disqualify someone forever.
Don’t worry, I think I more or less got a sense of where you are really coming from. That you have no idea what I am asking for is a nail for the impression I got.
So you’re complaining that I downvote your comments? If people agree with what you say they’re free to upvote you. I happen to think you’re objectively wrong, so I downvote. I’m using the system as intended.
There are plenty of comments in the past where I upvote someone who has a genuine differing opinion on something, or where they show me that I’m wrong about something. You’re free to comb through my comment history if you like. But don’t claim to have “figured me out” because I don’t agree with you and downvoted your comments.
You must have me confused with a mirror. Do you normally go around spouting off what you are insecure about? I can confirm, you are right to feel so. And why do people like you always give away that it’s a game to you with whole “luck” line? Isn’t this the sort of stuff you keep resented up inside so people don’t become aware of how you see the world?

Do enlighten me
Let’s just say it’s from a mindset that downvotes every comment that replies to them.

Yeah, that must be it.
Alright, nice elephant hurling. Better luck next time.
