PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

"Linux Mint hides the terminal"

Isn't this guy Nazi adjacent?

Tasteless, immature, edgelord, yes. Actual fascist/Nazi, I don't think so. I've never really watched his content. And I will say this. From what I've seen in recent years, he seems to have matured a bit.

Quite frankly, Nazi-adjacent is bad enough, especially when he's made no effort to own up to the problems he's caused. It seems like he very deliberately tries to skirt the line of plausible deniability.

I haven't found him tastless in a long while. He seems to just be vibing living his own life at this point.

At least for me its not important what kind of person he is.
I quite like that a very influental person in the gaming sphere promotes linux gaming.
Because more users means more content and support

Uh oh, brace for the hordes of people complaining that some anticheat game doesn't work on Linux and therefore the whole thing sucks.

[–] TRex91@feddit.org 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe he doesn't play any Multiplayer games (anymore) so why should he care. But yeah I also missed that part since some big games could make problems like Fortnite or GTA V MP?

I honestly don't care about PewDiePie, I care more about his audience. And his audience is bound to expect everything to work if PewDiePie advocates for it, even if he explicitly tells them to temper their expectations. That's just how gamers are.
