The whole “Trust me bro” thing comes from when they released their backpacks. They had issues with some of the zippers and people wanted to know what the warranty was. Linus said they didnt explicitly have one but that he would look after anyone with issues. When people got a bit rightly pissed about this, he got a bit defensive. “Trust me bro” sprung up as a meme out of that whole saga.
So… No source then? You just kinda think Linus is nice from watching videos?
What source are you looking for, exactly? You asked about a specific incident and got a fine summary. If you want more context, it’s very easy to find.
If you are looking for a “source” for a subjective opinion of someone’s personality… I don’t even know what that would accomplish or what form you think that would take.
I worked as a security and risk management consultant for 5 years, everything surrounding him looks like someone making shit up as they go along. People knowingly acting with malice plan for and deal with negative backlash way better.
Beyond that, you want me to go through hundreds of hours of footage from the WAN show and give you links and timestamps of every time he has said something that supports my opinion?
Thats why I started my post with “I honestly believe” not “I know for a fact” because yes, its just my opinion or whatever man.
