I just think it's pretty cool that Felix, who has never really mentioned anything Linux before, chose to go with a Linux distro for the PC he put together.

Why are comments such a cesspool?
I love Linux because it's good for everyone -- Even insufferably annoying internet personalities who are also somewhere between 'carelessly edgy' and 'actually a fascist'. 💩💩💩💩💩
The year of the linux desktop is upon us... right guys?
It might actually be. Linux gaming has come an awful long way thanks to Wine, Steam, Proton, Wayland, etc. Driver support is improving with or without the manufacturer's help. OpenGL's constant playing catch-up with DirectX has given way to the limitless potential of Vulkan. The web has moved almost entirely to properly open standards like WebExtensions and Canvas, and has become powerful enough that many well-known apps are literally just Electron wrappers around a HTML/Javascript core that can run on any plaform. Likewise Mono has implemented almost all of .NET and even Microsoft's own ".NET core" cross-platform (mostly so it can run on containers and cloud more effectively, not to help Linux specifically, but we'll take it) All these buzzword technologies add up to a seriously strong open source gaming ecosystem, and distros like SteamOS, Bazzite, and others are finally starting to put all these pieces together and polish them into something seriously usable as a daily driver and for gaming.
And once you've got the gamers and enthusiasts, you're on the cutting edge, you've got the tip of the spear, and the rest of the spear tends to follow where they lead. Is it happening? Too early to tell, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility. The "Year of the Linux desktop" has always been a joke, but some people weren't joking and have been seriously working on it. That work appears to be starting to really pay off. Combined with Microsoft's various Windows 11 missteps continuing to fuel the fire, a lot of people are increasingly receptive to alternatives.
PewDiePie is a Nazi sympathizer.
We can even replace "Nazi sympathizer" with a shorthand designation: "Nazi"
He's basically a classic trait of toxic gamer, making a racist remarks towards everyone. He was never a nazi in the first place.
Back when he did Hitler joke stuff, he instantly got backlash from his own community. He recognized the mistake and stopped doing it again.
I can assure you, these people are often doing it for banter or just for edginess. Never actually hates people.
I’m from SEA region, and people in SEA online gaming community did this all the time. Mocking each other ethnic groups or nationalities, while not actually hating each other, except for small minorities of course. Making Hitler joke, N-word, and other local edgy jokes.
Not saying this is a good thing.
Again, even his fans constantly asking him to do better all the time. And he’s now a better person.
I recommend to check his video about 100 days art journey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDtQTTAogk It’s one of high-regarding art journey video that even contantly get shared and reacted among art community.
Linux doesn't make up for being a nazi.
To what are you referring to?
the streaming in an SS uniform and paying people on fiverr to hold up signs saying "death to all jews", probably
Im pretty sure you are referring to him wearing a british military uniform. Also he did not have anyone say death to all jews. Provide source and I will correct this though.
Source?
This I see the points. Im sure they were clickbait edgy “jokes” but ofcourse someone with such a huge following should not be making these kinds of references. Thanks for the info!
i posted in another thread that got removed that really the important takeaway from what happened is that as he and his audience radicalized eachother. the people who didn't want to see the edgy stuff left, and he made no effort to distance himself from it at the time, so more edgy people started following him. in the end you had what the in-group saw as edgy humour while the rest of the world saw nazi shit. and like the "layers of irony" thing that 4chan had going a few years ago, what the in-group thinks its projecting doesn't matter.
Yeah, i stopped watching him for a number of hears when the edgy-ness was in full force. I enjoy his recent content since he has settled down in Japan, but I wont forget the dark years.
You don't know what you are talking about. He never wore a Nazi uniform and that Fiverr thing was a joke. He tried to see what would be the most horrible thing a Fiverr would so.
i don't care what he says the intentions were, just like i don't care what Elon and Bannon's intentions were with their "unfortunate gestures". a normal human being would never have thought to do that. the intentions don't matter, only the actions.
Elon musk is an oligarchs who spoke to a neonazi party, lies and gaslights and the list of shitty things he said or did is longer than Samuel Jackson's Imdb page.
PewDiePie is a video creator that has thousands of hours of innocent content with three jokes that were too edgy. Which he then apologized and condemned the ideas that he misrepresented.
I seem to be a bit behind on pewdiepie being a nazi sympathizer, mind enlightening me?
This video is a good place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnmRYRRDbuw
Last I heard, Pewdiepie has been trying to pass it off as jokes, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. (And whether or not he's "a nazi" deep in his heart doesn't matter. He's doing and spreading naziism.)
He made that as a waful joke, to the point even his fans also asking him to stop making those edgy jokes. He used to make N-word or any edgy joke because he was toxic gamer mentality. I remember seeing a total backlash on Pewdiepie official subreddit.
After the incident, he stopped making any edgy jokes. All of his content in the past half decade are basically wholesome or hobbyist stuff. He also recognize his mistake on several occasion.
Not gonna watch the alt-right fetishist just because his mask is back on. Hard pass.
People can change. Not everyone is born aware of the seriousness of making that kind of joke.
I personally don't follow him so I don't personally have an opinion on whether he has changed, but I believe that people have the capability.
He already said publicly multiple times that what he his edgy joke in the past is wrong. We should embrace people progress into a better individual, right?
All of his content in the past five years after that incident also all wholesome or positive stuff. No more edginess or even slur.
If he was a Nazi I don't think he'd be living in Japan. Furthermore, calling people Nazis when they're not Nazis really devalues the term. Be more intentional with your words.
be more intentional with your words
PewDiePie has a massive platform, and therefore has a greater responsibility to be intentional with his words.
While true, I haven't heard him dropping Nbombs for like 5 years at least.
This really isn't the defence you seem to think it is.
Here's my opinion: You say the N word, even as a joke, that's on you. And it'll stick to you like shit on a stick. But it's on me to give people the benefit of the doubt and think charitably of others. I'm not gonna write a person off because they said a slur. I believe people can change and want to see that change in the world. If I didn't then there wouldn't be any incentive for others to change. Fighting bigotry is about building bridges, not tearing them down.
If he was a Nazi I don't think he'd be living in Japan.
LO fucking L...
Do you not know who the Nazi's allies were?
If you think that has any relevance today then you're kidding yourself. Had the Axis won the war then Germany and Japan would be at eachothers' throats by now. Any alliance Nazi Germany had was one of convenience. They didn't honour their agreements. See: Russia.
If you're looking for Nazis, look to America.
or japan. weird but true, ethno-nationalists adore that country. the suggestion that X cant be a nazi because he lives in Y makes no sense
No wonder why pewdiepie fell off.
