I'm more surprised at PewDiePie, tbh. Jason runs a Mastodon instance, with the account notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com (I'm hoping that by leaving out the @ sign before the local username, that won't send him an unwanted notification), so the fact that he's also a Linux user is less surprising. I don't watch PDP, but I gather he has a very large and impressionable audience, so him promoting Linux should be good!
I was surprised to see him promoting Linux as well. People should not be shy about this.
PDP is actually running his game videos on Linux? That would be pretty amazing.
He doesn't do a lot of gaming videos now, but it does seem so. He talked about Proton and running OBS, so for anything Linux compatible via Proton is likely that's what he's doing
Personally, I think it's okay to ping him. I would think it'd be neat to see where and what conversations are occurring.
If you want to mention him, I won't try to stop you (not that I could if I wanted to). For me though, I'm pretty sure he's already aware of the existence of !notjustbikes@feddit.nl so he has the resources to follow threadiverse discussions of himself if he wants, and I'd rather leave it in his hands to control that rather than have it thrust upon him.
Ha, nah it's okay. I think it'd be silly for me to ping him further down in the thread after the fact. I was mostly voicing my unsolicited opinion 😆
I think that's fair, and I appreciate your considerateness 😊
