Luke Smith is the embodiment of the Dunning Krueger effect. He's a Language arts PHD dropout that decided to just copy the most successful Linux YouTuber at the time (Mental Outlaw) but Luke's technical competence is so low he makes several mistakes whenever he rips off one of Kenny's videos. When people called him out on this Luke started grasping for ways to stand out from being another Mental Outlaw clone.

1st Luke started shilling credit cards, he even disabled all crypto payments on his POD bookstore because Kenny hates the debt based financial system.

2nd Luke took an anti-gaming stance because Kenny occasionally plays vidya with his gf.

3rd Luke took an anti phone and anti gun position because Kenny carries both as part of his EDC

4th, Luke stopped making his videos in the woods because Kenny took over his family farm and made a couple videos about it. Luke just can't stand living in Kenny's shadow.

5th, Luke became anti restaurant because Kenny works with local restaurants to get organic food scraps for his animals and sells the meat and eggs back to the restaurant

And the most hilarious LARP of all is Luke pretending to be a Christian so he could enhance his E-begging and associate himself with Terry Davis despite desktop ricing being his greatness programming accomplishment.

>>103458162
I liked him back when I was a teenager but as I got older everything he says and stands for rubs me the wrong way.
For instance, he inherited house in rural areas yet talks about how easy it is to live out there. He claims that you can simply stop being gay, pointing to himself being a closeted homosexual. He hates on office workers, yet was a totally theoretical academic for the majority of his life. The only real contribution he's made to CS or programming or tech as a field is a cooking website using HTML which amounts to an SSG CRUD application using HTML forms and some bash scripts to follow tutorials on how to configure an arch install. Mental Outlaw is the person you guys should be glazing as he seems legitimately knowledgeable about the subjects he chooses to speak about. This dude has never worked a day in his life that he did not choose to work. He is fucking loaded and talks down to you worker cattle.

what I liked about luke's vids was precisely that he wasn't a programmer, and used practical examples for his scripts
kenny's great too, but luke got me excited for the "systems are easier if you make a bunch of scripts and hotkeys" thing and weaned me onto vim and a more unix mindset (rather than everything being isolated flatpaks)

It's because of how astroturfed Luke is. The pasta sums it up perfectly and most positive posts about Luke (including OP) are probably just Luke self promoting. If /g/ had post ID's it would be more obvious which is probably why he shills here instead of /pol/
>>
>>103460191
You should not care what /g/ thinks, the people here are retarded. As someone who works as a software developer and has a computer science degree this board is retarded and if you take their advice you will never get a job. Same for Luke Smith himself.
The reason it is personal for me is that I was gullible enough to believe his retardation. Like most shit on 4chan there is a grain of truth and then gallons of bullshit that will harm you.
Learning bash scripting, what unix utils can do, messing with vim to see if you like it are all great things to do. Taking his hardline schizophrenic stances on life or tech seriously is going to harm you.

As an example of how retarded /g/ is, there have been several posts today saying you do not need to know what Big O is to be a software developer and questioning why it is useful. There has been a post by a guy using AI to write a loop that simply finds where a single byte is located in a triply nested array and returning the i, j, and k indices. These people are actually fucking retarded. Never take anything this site has to say seriously or anything on the internet in general unless it comes from a reputable source or you know enough to critique it.

Luke Smith embodies everything wrong with modern internet pseudo-intellectualism. He inherited his lifestyle, hasn’t truly contributed anything significant to tech, and yet postures as if he’s the arbiter of Unix philosophy and 'based' living. His desperate attempts to emulate figures like Richard Stallman or Terry A. Davis are laughable—he lacks their intellect, originality, or genuine contributions. Instead, he thrives on selling an image to gullible followers who mistake his contrarianism for insight.

What has he really achieved? A couple of bash scripts, some recycled hot takes, and a grift masquerading as philosophy. His fans cling to him because he tells them what they want to hear, but at the end of the day, Luke is just another self-styled guru exploiting a niche for fame and donations. It's not about free software or self-reliance—it's about feeding his ego and pretending to be relevant in a space where actual innovation and effort matter. If you still idolize him, you’re just another pawn in his performative spectacle, enabling his shallow quest for internet clout.

Luke has a point, imagination opens the gate way to altered states of consciousness. But where I disagree is imagination makes me hyper productive and I don't have the problem where I fantasize more about the goal then actually doing it but then again my goals are developing GIMP Plugins in my own bedroom not real life stuff. So I can see how a normal would suffer from hyper imagination problems.

Imagination is what allows me to feel like I'm saving the world from George Soros and Klaus Schwab while making GIMP plugins completely dis attached from reality. As a result I have 101 GEGL based GIMP plugins due to my hyper active imagination. Luke is right though I am prideful (about my GIMP plugins), and also lustful and lazy but I don't do that thing where I look for flaws in other people to make myself feel superior. I prefer building others up or being neutral to others.

I will always remember Luke Smith as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single /g/ meme at once, without carefully analyzing them first. He owns four ThinkPads at least. While I see nothing wrong with them in themselves, as they are admittedly pretty good value for the price, four is just mindless consumerism, contradictory to his "philosophy". He started using every single shitty pseudominimalist, ncurses-based program, used a shitty riced out i3 setup of dubious actual productivity (like all tiling wms), then fell for the full Suckless meme and went in even deeper. Then he started making videos shitting on Python and praising C, which is ironic considering he is not even a programmer by his own admission. He effectively spent years trying out, configuring and hopelessly trying to integrate tens of meme programs to build what is, combined, effectively a shittier Emacs, just like most of /g/ was doing in their "productive" desktop threads a year or two ago. Then he read the Unabomber manifesto and blindly accepted it without constructively analyzing it first, same with the anarcho-primitivist ideology that was all the rage about a year and a half ago on 4chan and 8ch. While he stated on his website that he "didn't browse 4chan much anymore" it was obvious this wasn't the case.Then he went and took the memes way too far, and unironically went to live in isolation. While I see nothing wrong in itself, the actual reason he did it is massive cringe. He has the mentality of someone 10 years younger than he is, yet he acts like a literal boomer jokingly criticizing "zoomers" despite he himself being the worst example of a millennial. He attacks "nerds" when it's painfully obvious he's deeply unhappy with himself, as it was obviously self-directed criticism thinly veiled as an edgy dabbing video. He is a perfect example of someone you should avoid becoming at all costs.

Not really /g/ related but i remember when he bought his used lexus thinking he basically ripped off this poor liberal because he got it for cheap and he had heard how they're the "thinkpads of cars" (he knows nothing else about cars).
Then the head gasket blew or the oil pressure dropped or something else that basically totaled the car and it happened when he was out of town traveling kek

>>103478494
why? because of your personal incredulity?
the best way to understand reality as it is, is the (orthodox) christian message. there is a personal (triune) god who has created all things, visible and invisible.

you want the source of all things to be an "algorithm" so you can obtain a mastery over creation, but I say to you, true understanding and mastery will only be granted to you when you empty yourself and cleave to the will of god.

The Christian God is not the same as the jew god no matter what the kikes and the "judeo-christian values" lobotomites say. This has nothing to do with belief btw, it is just theology. One is a triad the other is a monad, one is fundamentally based on Platonic Mysticism a the other on Eastern Mysticism. The Christian one is ecumenical and the jewish one is tribal. Early Christian saints considered Greek Philosophy and Mythology(or at least Drama) of equal value in preparing people for the coming of Christ to the OT and later theologians believed that the Roman Empire itself played a pivotal role. Christ himself was honoured in his birth by three "wise men", magi in the original greek which pretty much means Persian Zoroastrian priests and was baptized by John the Baptist who was NOT an adherent of the jewish faith but most probably a Mandaean.
The idea the Christians and Jews believe in the same god is just jewish psy-ops. One of the many ways they brainwash goys into sabbos-goys. Want to mock christ-cucks? Go ahead. But please don't parrot jewish lies.

yeah the Lexus vid is still on his channel but I think the car breaking down story was from a livestream so might be harder to find
he probably had the car for at least a year before it broke down, maybe I made it sound like it broke down instantly after purchase which I don't think was the case
it was kinda funny though because he was expecting it to last him 4-5 years
they're generally reliable cars though and I don't think he made a stupid choice by buying it
