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.

I hope he does a video on it !

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 7 hours ago

To what are you referring to?

[-] lime@feddit.nu 9 points 4 hours ago

the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably

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.

[-] jaek@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

be more intentional with your words

PewDiePie has a massive platform, and therefore has a greater responsibility to be intentional with his words.

[-] hellofriend@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

While true, I haven't heard him dropping Nbombs for like 5 years at least.

[-] Walk_blesseD 4 points 1 hour ago

This really isn't the defence you seem to think it is.

[-] hellofriend@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Here's my opinion: You say the N word, even as a joke, that's on you. And it'll stick to you like shit on a stick. But it's on me to give people the benefit of the doubt and think charitably of others. I'm not gonna write a person off because they said a slur. I believe people can change and want to see that change in the world. If I didn't then there wouldn't be any incentive for others to change. Fighting bigotry is about building bridges, not tearing them down.

LO fucking L...

Do you not know who the Nazi's allies were?

[-] hellofriend@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] Walk_blesseD 14 points 12 hours ago

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.

[-] hellofriend@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago

I seem to be a bit behind on pewdiepie being a nazi sympathizer, mind enlightening me?

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 46 points 18 hours ago

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.)

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 59 points 19 hours ago

PewDiePie is a Nazi sympathizer.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 40 points 18 hours ago

We can even replace "Nazi sympathizer" with a shorthand designation: "Nazi"

[-] Penta@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago

The year of the linux desktop is upon us... right guys?

[-] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 12 points 14 hours ago

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.

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%

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

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?

[-] Gobbel2000@programming.dev 15 points 19 hours ago

It's the part in the video where you can see the Linux Desktop.
