PewDie Pie Uses Linux? (Live Stream Supercut)
PewDiePie Is A Linux User?
So my #PewDiePie #Linux video generated some very interesting conversations and I thought I'd journal some of my thoughts. You can check out my latest post out here:

PewDiePie, once the king of YouTube, has now decided to stop shannigans and move to GNU / Linux operating system. And not simply to move to GNU / Linux, but stop using Photoshop and move to GNU Image Manipulation program, known as GIMP. Go back to using OBS. And even gave a rather okay-ish explanation of GNU / Linux and his reasons to move to it, to his 1...

The Linux video is doing real good numbers compared to his other recent vids. That's great to see!
PewDiePie się zlinuxował! Czy to dobrze, czy źle dla systemu spod znaku pingwina? Moje zdanie na ten temat w filmie:
Mastodon auf.
Irgendwelche Knalltüten informieren mich, dass ein Herr namens #PewDiePie neuerdings Linux nutzt, und erwarten daher, dass ich das ebenfalls tue, denn bekanntlich gibt es keine besseren Vorbilder in Technikfragen als irgendwelche YouTube-Kasperle.
Mastodon zu.
Könn'wa schon Bier?
#PewDiePie has embraced #Arch #Linux, sharing his #setup on #Instagram with the caption, "Had to be done."
He made the switch to enjoy greater #customization and #control over his #tech #experience.
This move has excited the Linux community, with many speculating that his influence could lead to a #boost in the platform's popularity among his followers.
This is probably what desktop Linux needed: PewDiePie installs Linux
His video has hit over 4 million views in just 2 days. Most videos about desktop Linux are done by passionate techies, and they just don’t tend to sway or influence most ordinary desktop OS users. What Linux has probably long needed is a few real “n ...continues

Holy shit. Like I know PewDiePie is problematic. Still surprised to see such a high profile YouTuber promoting Linux, though! Would love to see Peertube being similarly promoted...
3 million views in 24 hours!
@unix_discussions Warning!
I quote @Ramin_HAL9001
"Linux communities beware of #PewDiePie fans.
Regardless of PewDiePie’s personal #politics (which clearly, at the very least are problematic), it is fairly well known by anyone who has been following him for any number of years that the vast majority of his fan base are enthusiastic fascists ( independent.co.uk)."

Everyone is talking about PewDiePie using Linux.
What do you see?
You see another person talking about the terminal and all the crazy things you can do with the terminal. Which means he is not a newbie, and he is recommending Mint, whose support community, despite offering some user-friendly GUI tools, will insist you learn the terminal for everything.
Look at Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS. That is what people are looking for on Linux. Not to geek out, or deep dive into a command prompt, but the simple point and click, ease of use. So to sum up, they want to use their computer, not work on their computer.
Your PC should be so easy to use, that the kid back in grade school, who made all those questionable choices, who likely ate paste, could understand how to use their computer. Because that is what most end-users, want - something they can use with as little thought and effort as humanely possible.
Good news, it is 2025, Linux can be that easy!
I worked in Consumer IT. That means, I dealt with people who struggled to find their desktop. My "favorite" question from people who did not know tech was instructing them to find something on their desktop, and them asking, where do I find the desktop - Not joking.
YES, those people can use Linux too. But it is not Linux Mint. I know this, because if the consumer wanted to try Linux, it was our job, to help them use Linux. Those who tried Mint, left Linux and jumped right back to Windows or Apple, in record time.
Install Fedora KDE Plasma, set up automatic updates, and you'd done. That's it. Everything is going to work and keep on working, 98% of the time. Fedora is the semi-rolling release to CentOS, which moves to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is going to have fanatic hardware support and offer outstanding stability. If you're OK not having the latest software, and want just a little more stability, use CentOS.
Discover (Flatpak) is your app store. Point and click installs. No thinking, no configuration, just ease of use. It will also let you know when your operating system (Fedora / CentOS) needs updating, and you click on update, just like you would in Windows Update or Apple Update. No terminal, no thinking, it just does the job for you.
KDE Plasma, all your setting in 1 place. Point in click. Even easier than Microsoft Control Panel. Try it. Even the Start Menu (app menu) looks like Windows (see screenshot). They even organize it for you. For example, your web browser will be in your Internet category.
Perhaps you want to configure files and change advance settings. You can still do that in Fedora, but still, let's make it easier even for you, who want to tweak configurations and use the terminal, and use NixOS.
See screenshot, that is NixOS running KDE Plasma. 1 master file runs everything. You still have all your basic settings, point and click, ease. But if you want to learn more, you don't have to go finding things or trying to remember where something is, just 1 file to rule them all (Yes, it’s like the Lord of the Rings).
Linux can be so much easier, no matter if you're an absolute newbie, who knows nothing. Or you want to learn, and get your hands dirty. We've got something for everyone, and it does not need to be so damn hard on you.
