haha. Part of the reason I like Linus is he does impractical expensive things but still votes for competition and knows what the average Joe/Jane budget is. The alternative video of the cheapest laptop is a good show that he can see both sides.

I mean Linus also did a budget must-haves videos and videos like building a PC case from cardboard.

It's a funny meme though.

I got started with Linux and programming on an old (even for the time) Dell mini-computer I found beside a dumpster at my apartment complex. Only had to buy a hard drive as they had (smartly) removed it before throwing it out. I consider that a win, saved that thing from ending up in landfill and polluting the environment, and got multiple years use out of essentially trash. Still have it in storage somewhere, once again hard drive-less because I reused it for another project, being the only modern part.
