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?

The amount of people crying about pewds is insane

[–] lookupgeorgism@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah why do people have such strong views against it?

Also Linux is a great anti tech giant alternative.

Woe is the day that I decide to take computer advice from a twitch streamer...

You know he's a Linux user because tells everyone he uses Linux without being asked.

He was asked tho, he built a pc and installed linux on it without mentioning it and people started asking about it.

I use arch btw

Installing Linux was a good decision.

I have not gone back to Microsoft Windows.

Don't listen to people telling you it's hard. I don't have an IT degree or engineering degree. Installing it was easy. Linux is elegant, secure and powerful. I love it.

Currently the bar to installing it is in the tech savvy area. If you have enough knowledge about computers to be a gamer you can be a linux user. Of course if you have to ask your SO or child for help with a computer, its not for you but tbh windows is also too complicated for some people. Once you have it installed, someone with 0 computer knowledge will find mint easier than windows for example.
