This talk is far too long and completely unengaging. I'm about halfway through and I would have fallen asleep if my frustration at how irrelevant the points made sofar wasn't keeping me awake. I've nothing against long talks (this one isn't even very long) but it is too long for two reasons: 1. He's continuously saying with 10 words what he could easily say with 3. It's very artificially drawn out. 2. Most of the points (sofar) aren't relevant, which weakens the overall argument: making less points would make the each of them more focused and compelling. On the (ir)relevance of the points made sofar: - He spends an enormous amount of intro time talking up his apparent qualifications and how he's the only human on the planet qualified to talk about this. I don't care. Allow your arguments to stand on their own merit. - Linux is apparently dying because "they" (the illuminati???) are trying to force Torvalds out of the foundation. What. - Linux is dying because SUSE (a company he used to work for) is being sold. I've been running Linux for over 20 years and SUSE had already fallen out of relevancy when I started. I remember getting a copy of SUSE on a magazine CD, wondering why I hadn't heard of this distro, searching internet reviews and concluding it probably wasn't the future of Linux. It's 2021 and this guy is applying things he learned decades ago in his career as if they've retained relevancy. In his discussion of companies responsible for Linux health, Canonical isn't mentioned, and the general assumption is an ironically "Windows-ish" take that old corporate sponsors are the lifeblood of the Linux community. - In person events are cancelled. Somehow the proposition here is that the worldwide pandemic is targeting Linux and Linux alone. What. Linux may be dying out, and the second half of the talk may have some better arguments but sofar this guy has given me a lot of reasons to completely ignore anything that comes out of his mouth.
