    Oh yeah Linus just outright also lies to his audience about his experience:

    At 2:04 he mentions that pacman? tries to install a dependency for “apt” and then quietly fails afterword and starts an infinite loop. This is the most absurd thing to mention because to my knowledge, nobody else was able to replicate this at all and theoretically this can’t happen either because apt-get is not in your PATH on an Arch system.

    He so benefits from his reputation and since general knowledge of POSIX and the current GNU/Linux software is virtually non-existent in his audience, he wasn’t called out on it.
