Yeah it’s not called Raspberry Linux. This is a mistake but I think most people know he meant Raspbian/RPi OS
He said Raspbian. It's just the post title here that's off. Edit: Yes, it's something of a nit, but it helps for searching, etc, later. Or if in the future, a different product does have that name. "Raspberry Pi OS" is an option if Raspbian seems obscure.

57:50 of the video. In effect, disillusion with Apple's direction.
In case anyone wants to know if he clarified on why Raspbian in particular: he did not. Raspberry Pi hardware would be the obvious constraint. Though, that only pushes the question one step further: Why a Raspberry Pi hardware? I... don't know. If you went from Apple devices, it seems like a non-sequitur. There are much, much better options, unless on an extremely limited budget. But, I also don't know his use case.…
Raspbian* apparently. That's really interesting; even the highest tier Raspberry Pi still feels pretty sluggish as a desktop thanks to the limitations of SD card throughput/latency/queue depth/etc. I wonder what his usage looks like.
Sorry about that :(

I have to admit, I tried and failed to switch away from Apple. I bought a Linux Laptop - an System 76. I was surprised at how terrible the battery management of linux was compared with my mac. And that particular issue broke me.
It requires lots of manual control but from my experience I can match or exceed battery life in comparison to running windows, with some tweaking. Out of the box it was terrible as well.

Well good for him. But we have to let go of this notion that for GNU/Linux to win, Apple has to lose. I'm paraphrasing but can't shake that feeling when I hear those claps in the video. When are we ever going to grow up?
I'd summarize it more as him saying he's choosing to opt out of Apple's direction because he doesn't like it. Was there something beyond that...calling for Apple's demise?

> If you're not paging out of ram you will never ever notice. What you say is true but you didn't respond to someone complaining about ram latencies, you responded to someone lamenting poor disk access perf. And you recommended booting off SSD which is demonstrably specious advice.
Again I will tell you--it doesn't matter to me and I suspect 99% of users. Unless you are like a Linus tech tips fanatic and eeking out every percent of performance for your Good Gaming Rig then it's fine. Yes the storage performance isn't perfect. It's fine.

I couldn’t stream YouTube videos on 1080p without terrible stutters when I tried the Pi4 a few years ago. Has that been fixed?
