    Don’t forget that time when installing steam on Linux Mint would prompt you to uninstall gnome, and Linus (of Linus Tech Tips) got burned because he didn’t read the confirmation message.

      Are you kidding me!? To move forward he had to write that he knew what he was doing! I’m pretty sure he saw the train wreck happening and pushed forward for views.

        I wouldn’t accuse him of doing it for views (he gets enough of those), but he is just not much of an expert when it comes to software in my opinion.

    Let me tell you about Bumblebee and their issue #123, though that one’s even worse seeing as installing system packages are done as root.

    (Their install/update commands included rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg)

    Edit: Please stop posting stupid image memes or unhelpful messages. This interferes with Valve’s ability to sift through the noise and see if anyone can figure out what triggers it.

      That was a bug in APT. Iirc, it thought that every package was conflicting with Steam.
