Wait, this guy is still around and relevant?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 18 minutes ago

hes trying to come back as youtuber, eventhough he "retired", (due to being supportive of nazis)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 42 minutes ago

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.

Sure, test it, but in a virtual machine first. Then read up what you actually want.

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).

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 hours ago

Wouldn't be surprised if he paid someone else to do all that lol

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 hours ago

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.

The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

It’s hilarious of these folks defending this low life. How sad. Don’t give a moment of your life to an awful human being. And stop advertising for them for free. Get paid.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

it’s been 8 years man, people change

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Looking into who this person is and seeing multiple apology video of stuff we evolved from multiple decades ago….. he has much to learn still.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

as long as he grew from those mistakes and became a better person (as he evidently has) he deserves another chance, not that all that should be forgot (ofc not) but people learn from their mistakes and why should we let a few edgy jokes from 2015-2016 (which he evidently regrets) let us regard him in 2025 any differently?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Let’s hope for the best!

Yes, Linux is king. More stable, better hardware utilization. Better customizability. Linux just makes more sense.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 54 minutes ago

Of course this gets downvoted... Linux shilling is insane

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.

To make it simple use something like mission center

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 hours ago

Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol
