This sounds like a scene from the movie "To Rome with Love" where this normal guy is followed around by reporters and he tells them how he likes to brush his teeth and exactly which kind of toast he ate in the morning.
Not sure why it is interesting to know that Linus (or anybody else) is installing a piece of software to try it out. Perhaps a livestreaming site where people would go "Whoa, did you see the way he opened the browser" would have some popularity too!
- zokier 14y agoHe's not just installing something to try it out. He is announcing that he is installing something, and in that way both promoting the software he is installing and de-promoting (?) the software he is switching from. You could read between the lines that he isn't completely happy with XFCE or he wouldn't be seeking new DE. And overall that was fairly positive "first impressions review" of KDE from Linus.

- pjmlp 14y agoSome people need to know that their decisions are followed by famous people, otherwise they feel insecure.
- arnoooooo 14y agoExcept he's not a random famous guy. He's the creator of Linux, and a very respected hacker, so it's not that sheepish to be interested in the tools he chooses for his work.
