Haha I was dying from that too.

I'd watch one full episode of this stuff.The scene with Krysta and Mr. Robot was some intense shit.
We don't know that Elliot's dad pushed Elliot. That's just what Elliot says.
I dont think his dad pushed him. Elliots a little crazy, I wouldnt be surprised if he jumped himself.

Need to rewatch the hospital scene and see if he admits it...
There's being reckless and there's being dumb. Mr Robot can't risk the FBI ruining the operation.
Man, this episode moved fast. Personally I enjoyed season two's slow paranoia but I'm definitely digging this so far.
I like this episode a lot but I find it very questionable that anyone that truly cares about security would be using Linux Mint.
That's the point, it wasn't Elliot who used Linux Mint because he went back to Kali Linux, but knowing that it was insecure and that Darlene was likely informing on him, Mr. Robot used that to his advantage and sent malware to bait the FBI. He probably trashed out his computer too knowing that it was compromised.
Not gonna lie, you would think the FBI could think of something more seamless like finding malware that tracks Elliot's move instead of forcing a completely new OS on him. It's too on the nose for a hacker like him.
My point is why have Linux Mint installed in the first place? I don't think Darlene installed Mint on his HDD as it was already setup with widgets and everything, as well as had a LINUX MINT background. Surely Mr. Robot/Elliot would notice right away if anything was clearly different and would call Darlene out on it if she installed Mint. Like, it's really obvious so asking "What were you doing behind my computer" does not cut it as a question. They'd ask "Why did you install Linux Mint on my computer?"
Maybe I'm wrong but imo it doesn't seem like Darlene installed that OS, also I doubt she's dumb enough to install something so clearly transparent.
He went back to Kali Linux because he suspected his computer was tampered with. He'd know if he had Mint installed or not, so yeah.

But he did notice, that's why he was staring down that background for a long time before using the newly installed OS as bait. As for the question, the idea is the same regardless of what question was asked, because the point is Mr. Robot wanted to know what Darlene was doing to his computer. It seems needlessly pedantic to want to ask about OS, when asking about the computer accomplishes the same result.
Also if it wasn't Darlene then why did Mr. Robot catch her behind the monitor? Elliot is a creature of habit and wouldn't go to an inferior OS that he clearly didn't recognize. So Occam's Razor comes into play: he saw Darlene doing what she did and that raised alarm bells, so it's reasonable to infer that she did something to his computer. Even if it's transparent, you have to realize she's doing this as a lackey of the FBI for immunity (which is why I question their choice of OS when they could have used other less obvious malware).

You're going waaay too deep here.
Elliot was on his Mint distro, thought about it, then decided to do some hacker shit so he booted a Kali portable. He probably runs Mint for his benign activities in case he's raided.
That doesn't make any sense, he stared at the background knowing that something was off when we've always seen him use Kali Linux (at least in S2 where we clearly see Kali Linux in the background whenever he's on). There's no reason to expect that he runs a gimped OS with security issues given his paranoia, and his habit with Kali Linux. I would go as far as to say he's never used a Mint distro.

Cool, this is what elliot was browsing on reddit. lots of easter eggs
They probably had Reddit backdate everything. There are other subs as well though I don't have the links handy. One of them is about supernatural/parallel universe stuff.All of this is material for this season's ARG. It was found last week through a URL seen in the premiere.
I was super impressed with their production team that they've set all of this two years in advance. Makes me wonder how much preparation they're doing for future seasons.
This fucking show... I mean, it is SO good, so masterfully directed it puts to shame 99% of other shows imo.
Almost every episode is a masterpiece. Fuck.
We've seen Elliot use a regular Linux distro in his PC more than once.That doesn't make any sense, he stared at the background knowing that something was off when we've always seen him use Kali Linux (at least in S2 where we clearly see Kali Linux in the background whenever he's on).

Outside of the opening montage, every single scene is meh wide, medium closeup reverse as two people talk, some long takes where the camera doesn't move, and a bunch of exposition that literally explains everything like you are an idiot
I actually think these first two episodes are a troll and the switch is gonna flip at some point, but I'm also an optimist
They also seemed to have given up on the negative space, which was like a defining aspect of the look of the show

I don't think this episode called for the same camera style. If anything, this episode wasn't about isolation like normal. It was more focused on connections and yearning for connections.

B. D. Wong is so fucking good in this.
And this show's FBI might be only second to the one in The Following in terms of incompetence.
Right?"Scan my QR code and I'll suck your dick" is cyberpunk as fuck.

He might be my favorite in the whole show. Awesome role.B. D. Wong is so fucking good in this.
