That's a pretty fair statement. The video really doesn't show much of what makes Linux great, let alone why Nuke likes Arch in particular. (I'm a Debian man, muhself.)
To really show why we love the OS as we do, sometimes it requires something a bit more difficult for most people to digest. For example, I had to deal with cryptolocker the other day. After wasting 3 hours accidentally restoring the wrong volume image (i.e. it had encrypted files too) from backup, and not wanting to take the network drive offline again, I got creative. Using the Unix-y tools of find, vi, mount, and rsync (tools not available on Windows without the help of 3rd party software,) it took roughly 50 minutes using my laptop to restore the 10,339 affected files. The process would have been roughly half that time if I hadn't been using a crappy USB 2.0 100 Mb network dongle to transfer files.
To be fair, a Mac user could have done what I did, too, since the tools I used are available on a Mac as well. (Which is why I always cringe whenever a die-hard Windows user takes it upon himself to make fun of a Mac -- "can you restore 10,339 files across a network in less than an hour using only the command line, mother fucker? No? Then STFU and GTFO with your Windows elitism.")
The other day, I purchased a USB 3.0 1 Gb network dongle to replace my old USB 2.0 100 Mb one. It was a Belkin B2B128 model, with three built-in USB 3.0 ports on it. Sweet, right? Found out when I got home that the network interface of the device did not work under Linux. Long story short, I was able to compile some drivers for it and had the thing up and working within 15 minutes. Most people would probably consider compiling drivers too much of a hassle, and I get that. But, consider that installing drivers on a Windows machine was at one time a "hassle". We're really talking about familiarity here, but I digress. My point, here, is that instead of taking the device back to the store, I was able to keep it because of what my OS of choice allowed me to do. That's empowering. And THAT is what is really impressive about Linux. It empowers you in ways that Windows or Mac OS won't let you.
