From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I can't tell if you're being genuine or not, but there is a difference between using a swear word ever and being a hateful bigot and using slurs against marginalized groups
Yes I never did that ever when I was younger. I only said heck once.
Did he ever apologize for it, though?
Geeez these comments guys...
So even if you like or dislike pewdiepie. I think him showing of Linux is good. Getting more people to realize Linux exist and is a viable alternative to Windows or Mac is a good thing.
Assholes being called out for being assholes is a good thing.
I agree. As more regular people use Linux, it will become more obvious who the gatekeeping losers are and why they should be routinely ignored.
"Think different" to me is "don't let the people chronically on internet forums dictate your every move."
Lol the pirate party in the country I’m from was co opted by Nazis
Edit: Why would any one downvote this lol it’s factually true. I’m not saying Pewdipie is a nazi, I’m just stating the facts that the pirate party was co opted by Nazis in the country I’m from and basically had to disband.
Not trying to be a dick, i simply don't know, but what does that have to do with the post and pewdiepie?
Well in the post the OP stated that Pewdiepie was a supporter of the pirate party as if this negated any claims to him being right wing. I just wanted to point out that the pirate party can have right wing elements as was the case here.
Edit I’m not trying to be a dick but what did adding that statement at the bottom of the post have to do with pewdiepie using Linux?
I have a feeling this thread won’t be about Linux.
I for one am very happy to see! He is a great influence to a lot of people and showing that Linux isn't scary will boost numbers by a solid amount ✌️
Hyprland soon to be known as "the Nazi OS" if it keeps getting shown off by a well known swedish neo Nazi
dropping pewds in ml and getting upvotes wasn't on mine
I managed to avoid finding out who or what PewDiePie is back when he was a meme and I have no intention of finding out now
Does Hyprland work well for gaming compared to KDE? Can it do HDR, VRR and so on?
Always wanted to try a tiling WM but was afraid of losing features.
Awesome! I hope he will help share this with more folks, the friends who I've talked into finally giving modern non-Ubuntu Linux a shot love it, but there's a lot of work to get over the damaged image created by the countless "linux user installing a browser" memes. I'm sure someone with his reach can help though :)
Found out just now he made a video about it and explained his actual experience using it, it's really cool! Glad to see more folks sharing this stuff.
