        A better title might be, “Solutions to newcomers’s most common problems with Linux”

        The video is about the results of a survey regarding the problems people are having using Linux. Only 10% of them described themselves as beginners. That would not be a good title.

        I personally see zero condescending tone in it. The video doesn’t prove to be toxic like you described either.

        IMO this just isn’t a good community for this, because nobody clicks on a 20 minute video to figure out what it has to do with “Linux Gaming”. Plus YT links are almost always downvoted anyways. I agree that the title isn’t the best, because it fails to convey what the video actually contains.

          Here’s what I see:

          • not gaming related, just generally “linux” related
          • ad at the top of the summary
          • potentially condescending tone (baffled at users having problems), but more importantly, it’s click-baity - better title: survey results about issues linux users have

          I didn’t down-vote, but I didn’t click it or upvote it because I wasn’t sure if it was relevant or not and I’m not interested in watching a video to find out. I can absolutely understand downvotes though.

          If the title is dubious, leave a note in the description as to why I should watch it. Mentioning tge survey would be a great place to start.
