I can't believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he's onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. ๐Ÿคญ

Step 1: open "pop shop" in the task bar

Step 2: search for "Steam"

Step 3: Click download

This concludes my guide on how to download Steam on Pop!_OS.

  1. Steam was in the pop-shop at that time.
  2. The start up guide explains what the pop-shop is.
  3. Meaning Linus just ignored this user friendly option because....idk why.

That is what he did. Then when Pop Shop threw an error, he looked up other ways to install it, and ended up doing it in the terminal through apt. Though his system was not up to date, so it got messed up and he removed his DE in the process. All he needed to do was make sure to update his system after that fresh install BEFORE he started installing things.

Most conventional OS's will notify you when you need to do this.

You're right, I rewatched it for better context. Not a lot of detail on what he tried, it kind of just skipped forwards.

I also think it's funny how he talks about doing everybody from a newbies perspective while using a Threadrpper and Titan PC with XLR peripherals lol
