I just think it’s pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Saw this stop when watching the video yesterday. He mentioned it one earlier in his ad read which I totally missed (thank sponsor block), but noticed it too when I saw the desktop. Personally think this is great, if someone has a big reach it’s Pewdiepie, though I doubt he’d ever make a video on it, but he might mention it here and there. Either way, great more people are realizing what a breeze Linux is.
Linux doesn’t make up for being a nazi.
To what are you referring to?
I seem to be a bit behind on pewdiepie being a nazi sympathizer, mind enlightening me?
This video is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmRYRRDbuw
Last I heard, Pewdiepie has been trying to pass it off as jokes, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. (And whether or not he’s “a nazi” deep in his heart doesn’t matter. He’s doing and spreading naziism.)
If he was a Nazi I don’t think he’d be living in Japan. Furthermore, calling people Nazis when they’re not Nazis really devalues the term. Be more intentional with your words.
be more intentional with your words
PewDiePie has a massive platform, and therefore has a greater responsibility to be intentional with his words.
If he was a Nazi I don’t think he’d be living in Japan.
LO fucking L…
Do you not know who the Nazi’s allies were?
If you think that has any relevance today then you’re kidding yourself. Had the Axis won the war then Germany and Japan would be at eachothers’ throats by now. Any alliance Nazi Germany had was one of convenience. They didn’t honour their agreements. See: Russia.
If you’re looking for Nazis, look to America.
Ah yes, Japan, a country famous for its hostility towards nazis 🙄
Your spine must be in pretty bad shape, what with it having to support a head comprised entirely of bone.
Do you actually think that two imperialist ethnostates would coexist for any meaningful amount of time? Do you truly think that Nazis actually saw the Japanese as “honourary Aryans”? Political jabbering to maintain good relations. A racist is a racist is a racist and Nazis hated anyone lacking blonde hair and blue eyes.
PewDiePie is a Nazi sympathizer.
We can even replace “Nazi sympathizer” with a shorthand designation: “Nazi”
The year of the linux desktop is upon us… right guys?
It might actually be. Linux gaming has come an awful long way thanks to Wine, Steam, Proton, Wayland, etc. Driver support is improving with or without the manufacturer’s help. OpenGL’s constant playing catch-up with DirectX has given way to the limitless potential of Vulkan. The web has moved almost entirely to properly open standards like WebExtensions and Canvas, and has become powerful enough that many well-known apps are literally just Electron wrappers around a HTML/Javascript core that can run on any plaform. Likewise Mono has implemented almost all of .NET and even Microsoft’s own “.NET core” cross-platform (mostly so it can run on containers and cloud more effectively, not to help Linux specifically, but we’ll take it) All these buzzword technologies add up to a seriously strong open source gaming ecosystem, and distros like SteamOS, Bazzite, and others are finally starting to put all these pieces together and polish them into something seriously usable as a daily driver and for gaming.
And once you’ve got the gamers and enthusiasts, you’re on the cutting edge, you’ve got the tip of the spear, and the rest of the spear tends to follow where they lead. Is it happening? Too early to tell, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility. The “Year of the Linux desktop” has always been a joke, but some people weren’t joking and have been seriously working on it. That work appears to be starting to really pay off. Combined with Microsoft’s various Windows 11 missteps continuing to fuel the fire, a lot of people are increasingly receptive to alternatives.
Always has been
I still live in the '96 year of the Linux desktop. Red Hat hasn’t enterprised yet, Debian is the scrappy new underdog, and the kernel maintainers are all young, flexible, and open to new technologies.
Linux is upon us in %CURRENTYEAR%
There’s a timestamp in the youtube link that skips to the very end. Is that on purpose? Or were you just trying to show the terminal?
It’s the part in the video where you can see the Linux Desktop.
