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?

      Two things:

      • who’s welcoming him? I’ve only seen excitement about what his video might mean for Linux adoption. I don’t think anyone is saying he should be a spokesman or anything.
      • I don’t see evidence of him being a Nazi, I only see evidence of him being an immature streamer; then again, I’ve probably only watched a total of like 2 min of his content because I don’t like his style

      I don’t care about him enough to look further, I only care that he has a sizeable audience and is saying positive things about Linux. That’s exciting, because that could push Linux adoption a bit higher. That’s literally the extent of how much I care about him. I’m also worried we could get net negative press if people have trouble with it, but either way it’s exciting.

      The same goes for literally any influential person talking about Linux. I don’t like LTT, but I was excited about the handful of Linux videos they apparently made. Maybe there are others, idk, I don’t watch most of the popular streamers.

        didn’t know making Nazi jokes and saying the n word as a grown man is immature. curious how easily white men get infantilized so they can avoid accountability

          It certainly is when not saying such things seriously. Pushing the boundaries of what’s acceptable is very common in gamer circles and is incredibly immature.

          And age has little to do with maturity, I’ve seen plenty of 40+ people saying very immature things for attention.

              Do you know how many non-americans casually use the n word be cause they don’t understand the repercussions? It’s all the fuckin time, especially among white Europeans.

                what do you get out of defending a white supremacist using this term? unless you feel entitled to using it?

              I am, but I’m married to a POC with POC friends and coworkers, so I’m pretty familiar with the harm slurs can cause. But yes, any slur can be used non-seriously, because it’s the intent behind the words that really matters. It’s still incredibly immature to say stuff just to piss people off.
