That Linus is a YouTube star who reviews computer stuff. I like to think he got popular because his name is Linus and people mistook him for Torvalds or he came up in searches. I've seen a couple of his videos and he talks to the camera in a manner reminiscent of a young kids show host. I half expected him to start reciting the basic colors to me during a video about doing direct GPU passthrough on multiple VMs. Tone aside, and I know I'm not his core audience, it was a good presentation.
