  1. 6:00 Bash can be configured to automatically show improved messages for "command not found" error". For example, Ubuntu has package called `command-not-found` installed by default which automatically looks for packages if you try to run a command that's not installed yet. Arch could use similar solution and they could tell that "apt-get", "apt" or other Debian related commands shouldn't be used and provide examples of correct commands instead. Command line could be made much more compatible with beginners without causing any problems for experienced users.

  2. 2:20 It's worth mentioning that ChromeOS is a Linux distribution, too. It's way different from most other distributions but it's running Linux kernel and many other components familiar to other Linux distributions. However, it doesn't use X server (X11) for its GUI so native ChromeOS apps have to use other interfaces for GUI.

  3. Good video overall! I disagree about the need to be nice to Linux community. However, I would definitely expect Linus to start reading the messages he gets from his Linux system. Had he read and understood the whole warning he get from the pop os he sure wouldn't have typed "Yes, do it." And I know why it did happen - many windows programs make you jump through loops to do even basic things. When you expect the same from Linux, you're just "this is really weird, but okay, I'll do it."
