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?

    If he’s doing it I’m inclined not to do it.

    His followers aren’t exactly tech savvy so I’m not entirely sure this is going to have much of an effect. Most of his followers are kids who don’t even own computers they just have iPads

      lets just say his audience isn’t tech savy. But somehow they try Linux and like it. I think its definitely a win, because even non tech savvy can enjoy Linux.

      I was thinking he’s not tech savvy, so he’s doing it for the view. I’ve noticed he’s been trying to come back on the YouTube scene, he’s been largely supplanted by other YouTuber over the years he was gone

      This might have been partly true 10 years ago. A large majority of his audience is probably adult now.
