In this video, I react to Linus Tech Tip's . Of the 10 distros they featured, only two of them were real, useful distros. The rest were, frankly, so old or so memed (or both) that they weren't worth highlighting in a video of this tone. (One of them wasn't even a distro, despite the name of the video!)
The worst offender on this list was Vinux, a (very old and extremely outdated) distro that focused on accessibility for the visually impaired. Frankly, this is the Desktop Environment's job, not the distros. And this distro was using Ubuntu Unity desktop (and an early version, at that). This was presented without acknowledging the age of the OS, nor when its last release was. They just poked fun at how bad the experience was. But those who don't know better might assume this was Linux's best attempt and Linux off as a bunch of amateurs.
I feel like LTT should do better. I know this was meant to be more of an entertaining video, but they missed the mark on so many levels with this vi
