Are you under the impression that that language hasn’t changed?

it’s just that the dozens of hours you spent learning to use a GUI

This is utter nonsense. You do not need to learn to use a GUI. You just look at the available buttons and click the ones you need. And when you click them they do what they say, they don’t return a “command not found” or “undefined error” with zero diagnostic information. And they work the same regardless of what OS or distro you’re on.

The fact that you don’t understand this is why you’re not qualified to tell people that it’s “not scary”.

You wouldn’t. A lot of tech people wouldn’t. But it is. I’ve found this out the hard way, after spending dozens of hours trying to figure it out. You’re not doing anyone any favors.

Half of the apps aren’t functional but yes, there are a lot.

Not going anywhere near unraid so long as your (very expensive) license is tied to a USB stick.

Notice that mainstream customers dont self host.

Yes, that’s what they said.

A 20 year old paperback book seems like a bad choice.

It’s not as scary as people make it sound.

It is not “scary”. It is complicated and requires special knowlege.

No, he has Mint on the desktop and Arch on the laptop.

It isn’t.

I’m not a tech guy

• Installs Arch
• Installs Hyperland
• Makes custom animated ASCII art for NeoFetch
• Makes custom bash script for his sponsor spot
• Creates a completely custom reactor-themed desktop

Yeah I think he’s a tech guy…he just doesn’t know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).

ActivityPub is amazing for censorship because anything that gets posted to one instance gets immediately archived thousands of times over.

The mistake people make is thinking there will be a year. It could be “the decade of the Linux desktop”, and by that I mean that Apple and Microsoft have to consider them a legitimate competitor in the space because they have gained sufficient “marketshare” (if you can call it that) and OEMs have begun offering it as a discounted option across the board.

Depends on your personal needs, especially as it pertains to software and peripherals. Like I have a commercial printer at my workplace that has no Linux drivers, but yeah, absolutely, try a LiveUSB, and make sure it works with yours.

Thank you for proving my point.

Youtubers are like celebrities

Do you think celebrities aren’t influential? I mean that’s how Trump became President. He had zero prior political experience.

Has PewDiePie done anything significant to help make a better change?

Doesn’t matter if it’s better or worse, the point is that he’s influential. He’s one of the largest YouTubers on the platform. But regardless, I would say that yes, he has, as in the video in the OP. Not just a Linux video, but a positive and comprehensive one.

It’s long past being meaningless at this point, other than just a red flag of a toxic individual.

Same reason we have to care about literally anything Trump does or says: he’s influential. Just in this case, it’s a good influence.

Linux = Freedom, customizability MacOS = Usability Windows = ???
