@26:07 he says as a business he's considering Linux on his computers because of Windows privacy violations. It's great to hear someone with such a wide audience talking about using Linux.

Long story short, there was a bug with apt that Pop!_OS didn't patch before the release. They did so after the latest version at the time was released. Had he updated his system before trying to install Steam, it'd never happened, that's the worst part.

Should have updated the install materials or just automatically force an update upon install. Competency should never be expected from the end user.

I would agree. If you watch the video, you'll see that Linux Mint's onboarding process walked Luke through using the Update Manager. Pop!_OS didn't. Also apparently Pop!_Shop doesn't or didn't perform an apt update upon launch for reasons beyond my understanding. Anyone familiar enough with Pop!_OS to know if that was or still is the case?
