    it was pewdiepie

    and he not only made his “im switching to linux” video, but then also made like some diy makerspace video and then got into selfhosting and degoogling within like a month and ngl these videos had so much genuine passion, and that’s what makes it so cool.

        It’s a very recent development, so no wonder you missed it. Yes, Pewdiepie went full Arch with Hyprland and made his Steam Deck into a server and I’m not even joking :D

      Yeah exactly! He’s so into it!

      I haven’t watched Pewdiepie since many years back, but these videos really made me happy to watch. I could see my own excitement from years back relived through his eyes.

      Since these are big names in tech on YT, this will make a lot of users try it out that otherwise would not have.

      Half sarcastically and half seriously; This IS the year of the Linux desktop. And if it isn’t next year will be. We’ve seen it become better and better at what, I feel, is an exponential rate. Whatever year it will be, it is going to be soon.

      I’m excited for the future :)
