Off topic, but personally I enjoy written blogs to vlogs, since you can then easily skim through and see if there is any real content.

I'd love read the tldr

View on HN

tl;dw:

- rms and esr are ousted

- no community events due to COVID

- IBM bought Red Hat

- More companies are contributing to Linux than ever

- Google is developing Fuchsia

- Other OSes didn't last forever either

Yea, there is really not much to it.

His argument on Fuschia is worth listening to tho. But the rest, yeah, pretty meh

Fuschia may be able to run Linux apps now, but Linux still has all the driver support. It will take years to re-create all that.

And because the libux kernels are gpl, they can't even take a look at the linux implementation of the drivers when implementing fuchsia drivers.

It really doesn't matter. Google is aiming Fuchsia at Android and Chromecast. The two biggest components of "Linux has won".

Google is in for the long game.

I listened for five and a half minutes before he said anything of any substance. When the substance arrived it was rather thin. This would have been far better for me as a blog post.

Same here, but you can just skip through the video and look at the slides. There's not that many and they summarize his points quite succinctly.

Does that put it into the category of "didn't need to be a vlog" or should I watch anyway?

It would be nice if we actually had a rule to add a tl;dw to videos over 5 minutes on HN. This was 6 minutes of rambling before he said anything meaningful.
