This seals it, I should never use Linux again.
I’m not sure anyone really cares about PewDiePie anymore, let alone what OS he uses.
The people who care have always done so. They’re just 25 now. This is relevant to his target audience.
My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.
I really can’t wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.
I’m not a tech guy
- Installs Arch
- Installs Hyperland
- Makes custom animated ASCII art for NeoFetch
- Makes custom bash script for his sponsor spot
- Creates a completely custom reactor-themed desktop
Yeah I think he’s a tech guy…he just doesn’t know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).
Wouldn’t be surprised if he paid someone else to do all that lol
I’ve never watched any of his videos. They just don’t appeal to me and never have. However, given his apparent fame, it’s good for linux.
The more people acknowledge linux’s existence, the more engagement, the more growth.
Here’s hoping someday Windows will be a nasty memory.
Yes, Linux is king. More stable, better hardware utilization. Better customizability. Linux just makes more sense.
More stable
Wellllll, I wouldn’t go that far.
I just had to reboot because clicking anything in the browser randomly started sending the CPU utilisation to higher 70s, which was triggering the fans to spin at full power.
Then I ran a game on Steam and Steam said it’s running, but it was nowhere to be found. Had to reboot again.
Both of these happened completely randomly after I changed nothing, just browsing the web.
Steam said it was running
Probably updating the client in the background, for some reason this is the default updating behavior on Linux unlike the visible progress bar on Windows
More stable, haha. I was just randomly surfing around and my computer goes to sleep and can’t wake up.
Also randomly, my computer won’t go into sleep mode when I close my laptop. It works about 90% of the time, but that 10% is when I pull my laptop out of my laptop bag and my computer is on fire and fans full blast trying to cool itself. The OS came from IBM installed.
Of course this gets downvoted… Linux shilling is insane
The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point
original joke
Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol
First i need to know what Katy Perry thinks about linux
Good point. We peasents don’t even know what love is, let alone Linux.
I hear Hannah Montana is a fan.
And Ja Rule
Ik ur being sarcastic but if i were someone who worked on linux id be pretty proud
“If you’re presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything. Except convincing people you have a brain"
I wonder if glam Linux will run on Debian.
Glamux.
That’s great, I hate it.
But which Linux?
He was and forever will be an rich kid with internet so whatever is the most popular. When he was a teenager that was Mint, now its Arch. Which is why he has Mint and Arch+hyprland.
The one I use
Broken clocks are still right twice a day.
OTOH the idea that Windows tortured pewdiepie seems like a point in its favor.
It is actually a competitor. Mean Microsoft have to improve if they want to keep the users. With the Windows 10 EOL soon they will give up on those users on those computers. Basically forcing anyone else to take care of them - Linux stands there welcome. Users just need a push or someone saying try this for free.
Most people will just raw dog it, and keep running their computer without windows support.
Yeah, but providing that push at the wrong time… Maybe I just presented it the wrong way. I think there was some snootiness to how I advocated it. Like I knew more than them, which might be the case… but it’s still alienating.
Maybe we can wait until they ask.
Sure, test it, but in a virtual machine first. Then read up what you actually want.
And tech papers like Heise now include a test how Linux runs for new gaming devices. Is 2025 the year of the Linux desktop?
The mistake people make is thinking there will be a year. It could be “the decade of the Linux desktop”, and by that I mean that Apple and Microsoft have to consider them a legitimate competitor in the space because they have gained sufficient “marketshare” (if you can call it that) and OEMs have begun offering it as a discounted option across the board.
If you’ve made the switch, that year was the year of the Linux desktop! ✨
Maybe the year of the Linux desktop was the journey we met along the way.
Definitely not the friends 🫥
Nonsense! We’ve got plenty of friends here:
2009 was the year of the Linux…laptop
Also good!
Lutris, my beloved.
Regular Steam and Heroic over here 👌✨
I used to have my living room gaming pc on windows and switched to linux this year and its awesome. Sunshine/moonlight are two programs that allow you to stream games from your pc to any device and it’s such a game changer!
Installed Bazzite yesterday. Not missing a single thing from windows at the moment.
Go ahead. It’s time.
Depends on your personal needs, especially as it pertains to software and peripherals. Like I have a commercial printer at my workplace that has no Linux drivers, but yeah, absolutely, try a LiveUSB, and make sure it works with yours.
I also installed Bazzite and am missing several things (or at least have to do more research than I’d like to figure them out). Getting my peripherals working, CAD, system backups, pdfs that won’t open from my file server, etc. The more I get into it the more problems I uncover. It has not been the seamless transition that so many make it out to be. It has worked for the games I’ve tried though.
I’m missing SOLIDWORKS after converting my last Windows PC to Linux
Don’t know about your workflow but have you tried FreeCAD? It surely won’t be like Solidworks, but might work for you.
I’ve been… Struggling with FreeCAD for a while. I really want to support it, you know, open source and all, but it’s really rough. Something that takes 10 minutes in SOLIDWORKS takes at least one hour in FreeCAD, not accounting for crashes, and complexity increases time exponentially.
Importing and placing .step files is rather difficult, big assemblies tend to degenerate despite careful binding; I try to bind to the origin as much as possible, often sacrificing adaptability, but it still gets messed up after a while.I’ve tried FreeCad on several systems and have yet to get it to run well enough to even attempt to use it. It either crashes constantly or just runs like ass.
It slows down A LOT over time, the bigger the file, the faster, it seems… I close and reopen it often, luckily it launches in an instant
On mine it was slow from the start. I’d click on a button and it would take 30-45 seconds to do anything. Every time. It took me like 4-5 minutes just to sketch a single rectangle.
Have you tried it since 1.0? It’s pretty ok.
What keeps me from making the switch is music-making. None of my plugins run on Linux and sound drivers supposedly are a huge mess.
I’ve been making an album on Linux, anything I can help with?
Maybe my info on sound drivers is outdated… I play guitar and rely on low latency for my interface. I use neuralDSP plugins (not just for recording, also for jamming). Is it possible to get this running somehow? Any good DAWs you know of?
Yeah, unfortunately 1.0 is the version I’m talking about
I see. Well, at least you’ve tried. In this case, you either need a VM or dual boot at worst. It’s getting loosing up but professional programs will continue to be a pain for a while. Usually we get paid software alternatives rather than their Linux versions though. I hope EU can break this and these corporations get big customers who use Linux, so they end up making a Linux version as well. Otherwise we’ll need another good alternative to pop up or FOSS projects getting big donations like Godot had.
I do keep trying, but I miss what I’m used to. I’ve tried a VM but it’s too slow, and I fought with GPU Passthrough but gave up. I do hope the whole Trump situation pushes the EU to support Linux more, but I’m not holding my breath.
They’re late to the party but better late than never. Unless something happens radically, I don’t see these issues will be fixed until the next Windows version at least. Dual boot it is until then. I wish people noticed this before Trump.
