I mean... He also self hosts his mastodon instance, take a look Gere:

For sure he is technically skilled!
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

I think he did mention he worked in IT.
That's very on-character for him to do, but it's still great to hear :)
As someone who used Linux for years, then left due to issues with compatibility, and have recently returned; Linux distros have come a long way in ease of use for average/casual users like myself. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well everything just works. I've had to research a few things I wanted to do with my system, but those actions were going beyond the most common use cases. I don't know if it is the "year of the Linux desktop," but Linux is definitely in a place now that greatly increases its approchability. I know the community is very big on customization and tinkering, but that isn't what the average pc user values, so having distros that are functional with zero or minimal tinkering will certainly be a boon to wider adoption. With apple being a "boutique" company and Microsofts continuous anticonsumer practices (my reason for switching), I definitely forsee a growth in Linux market share.
You can’t make it the “year of the Linux desktop” for anyone but yourself.
Awesome, Mint has been my daily driver lately. Kinda feels like the Toyota Camry of OSes lol.
You mean the omafiets of OSes, surely.
Maybe kinda both?
