    Don’t forget that time when installing steam on Linux Mint would prompt you to uninstall gnome, and Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) got burned because he didn’t read the confirmation message.

      Are you kidding me!? To move forward he had to write that he knew what he was doing! I’m pretty sure he saw the train wreck happening and pushed forward for views.

        He was doing it while recording a video with his phone, literally installing steam as the first thing on his PC, he didn’t expect anything like that to even be possible. He probably thought “ugh whatever just finish this download already I don’t care about your permissions”

        Plus he only had to write “yes do as I say”, he didn’t read what came before.

        Here’s the moment when it happened: https://youtu.be/0506yDSgU7M?t=609

        I wouldn’t accuse him of doing it for views (he gets enough of those), but he is just not much of an expert when it comes to software in my opinion.
