First time Linux user
Knows nothing about the choices you make in Arch to personalize your system
“Yes, Arch is the one for me! Because I know everything about Linux already.”
Soon: “I don’t know why X is happening on my system”
I used Ubuntu for like a month then switched to arch 8 years ago never looked back… what’s your point
cry more
If the steam deck keep growing in popularity, Arch is going to be the first linux for a lot of people.
Just because SteamOS is based on Arch now doesn’t mean that using SteamOS teaches you anything about using Linux or Arch specifically.
The SteamDeck literally obfuscates most of it and you have to choose to boot into desktop mode to even mess with anything.
He doesn’t need to keep his system working, he can probably pay someone for that. He needs something that will maximize engagement, and a million “I use arch BTW” comments is exactly what he wants.
I don’t think that was the goal cause he didn’t post like a post, it’s a story. Engagement on it is not visible and as far as I’m aware, it doesn’t boost anything.
Also Linux would be the last place any influencer would go for engagement farming.
Its the only OS option that could farm engagement, as no one would react to him using windows or mac
Who cares what a Nazi uses?
Care to elaborate? I’m not updated to PewDiePie’s stuff anymore. I’m living under the fucking rock.
He had a bunch of “Haha, I’m just being a nazi ironically and what even is a nazi, this symbol has lots of other historical usages” incidents, such as paying a foreigner to yell “death to jews” and doing a video where he was wearing a shirt with an iron cross on the collar.
He also followed a bunch of white-supremacist accounts (source) and then cried crocodile tears after getting called out
How many years ago was that. It sounds like he apologized and has taken a long break from YouTube and yet here come a bunch of actual screeching fascist saying, “Gross that he uses Linux! Arch is now NaziOS & we want to see him publicly executed still!”
Fascism is when you don’t engage with nazis and tell others not to engage with nazis.
No fascism is when you’re against free speech & constantly advocating violence against non-violent people who have exercised free speech, and then when someone does apologize for speech you didn’t like then 5 years later you’re still trying to censor those people.
Freedom of speech =/= freedom of consequences. If people choose not to associate with you because you support & attempt to normalize a movement that has historically committed mass genocide, or - god forbid - they speak negatively about you in an internet forum 5 years down the line, those people are just exercising their free speech.
Fuck this nazi.
I may not be entirely up to date but why pewdiepie is nazi
i have the same question
He has a long history of incidents like, “Hey, why are you following those white supremacist accounts on Twitter and promoting their books?” or “Oops, I was wearing an iron cross just as a joke!” and “I paid a dude to yell, ‘I hate Jews!’ as a prank, bro.”
If only there were some way to search the internet for info. 🤔
No, no, don’t fuck Nazis ever. Punch them.
You all are still on that train from 2017?
Do you think disliking nazis was something we were supposed to stop doing at some point?
Disliking actual Nazis, instead of wasting your anger on this guy. He’s just used to be edgy. Not to mention he’s not even edgy anymore. He’s actually a pretty cool guy.
I can forgive people for being edgy back in the day, IF they apologize and explain why what they did was wrong. Pdp did nothing and just brushed it under the rug.
maybe one time is fine. this dude did it again and again. you can only go “oops I accidentally nazi’d” so many times. plus even if you’re not a so-called “actual nazi” there’s not much distinction in why exactly you use your platform to push or normalize nazism. I don’t give a fuck what’s in your heart; ironically fucking a goat is still fucking a goat.
“He’s actually a pretty cool guy.”
Parasocial relationship much?
oh great, Linux certainly needs a nazi seal of approval
woah what
what the other guy said barely scratches the surface. he did so many things, shouting out a straight up neonazi propaganda channel as one of his favorites was one of them. he’s a pussy too, he always has this plausible deniability shit ready to go. but that only works if you’re stupid. you can “accidentally” do nazi shit only so many times before people catch on.
[…] [he shouted] out a straight up neonazi propaganda channel as one of his favorites […]
Do you have a source?
rare arch l
Is linux becoming this popular, or is this a one-off incident?
Definitely a one off thing case here. Last week he was on mint and now on arch with hyprland already. He doesn’t upload that much so he’s probably experimenting a lot.
I wonder if he’ll make a video (if he hasn’t already) on why he chose to switch to Linux; I’m quite interested to hear what made him decide to switch, and I’m also very interested to hear what issues, if any, he encountered along the way.
Why should I care?
Do whatever you want bro, Im not your fucking mom
Gross
