This seals it, I should never use Linux again.
Wait, this guy is still around and relevant?
He came back with his vlog channel after he left due to something about support Nazism?, I'm guessing he's trying to come back in some form or another, the money is too addictive.but I doubt he would make a big impact, he can't compete with the current top tubers.
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.
hes trying to come back as youtuber, eventhough he "retired", (due to being supportive of nazis)
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).
By saying he's not a tech guy probably just means he's not a programmer. But with how he's done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.
He seems to be a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.
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’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.
His original shtick when he was the biggest tuber was yelling at his streams.
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.
TempleOS is the one true distro.
But its not Linux...

Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol
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.
You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.
To make it simple use something like mission center
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
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.
Seems like he's trying coming back to relevancy because the money was too good back then, can't do much in Japan outside of vlogging about living there.
it’s been 8 years man, people change
But your assuming he changed and not learned how to disguise his behavior better, which he's doing with his vlogs. I don't people look past his support for Nazis and shilling for youtube
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.
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?
Let’s hope for the best!
Broken clocks are still right twice a day.
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 welcoming them. Users just need a push or someone saying try this for free.
They'll push back the date like they always do.

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! ✨
switch
Deck, actually 🤓
