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?

    Why should we care what a multi-million dollar youtuber uses for an OS? He can afford to build computers for each OS at their highest specs in his range. I’m not going to be brow-beaten by this chump either.

      Same reason we have to care about literally anything Trump does or says: he’s influential. Just in this case, it’s a good influence.

        Not really. Youtubers are like celebrities. Has PewDiePie done anything significant to help make a better change? No, he hasn’t.

          Do you think celebrities aren’t influential? I mean that’s how Trump became President. He had zero prior political experience.

          Doesn’t matter if it’s better or worse, the point is that he’s influential. He’s one of the largest YouTubers on the platform. But regardless, I would say that yes, he has, as in the video in the OP. Not just a Linux video, but a positive and comprehensive one.
