I DON'T CARE WHAT THIS NAZI BURNOUT THINKS
Oookie dokie... π
Why is everybody hating on him ?
He's had some controversial things. In 2017 he said the n-word while live streaming a game. The other big one I know of is he made a video where he showed he has paid one of those fiverr groups of Indian children to hold up a sign that said "death to all Jews". Pewdiepie didn't think they would actually do it.
They are really not great situations, and the second one I mentioned he should have realised was a bad idea and not done at all. Back in that 2017 era he positioned himself as an edgier meme YouTube, but he has since apologized and vastly changed his content, and i personally believe he's a very changed person from a decade ago. But the stigma has stuck around.
Not every country finds saying n word offensive and he's not American.
Yeah, but as a swede myself I definitely know it's a no no word especially as by that time other YouTube's already had their own n-word controversies.
I'm not a tech guy
Yeah I think he's a tech guy...he just doesn't know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).
He did Linux much better than Linus of LTT fame.
Yes but he's obviously far more qualified. LTT was trying to give real-world impressions of someone with a technical mind but also zero experience with Linux. Yes, he did something dumb and was clearly not paying attention, but also he never should have been put in that position in the first place. Every distro probably needs to automatically force an update as part of the setup process.
By saying he's not a tech guy probably just means he's not a programmer. But with how he's done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.
He seems to be a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.
I remember when he played minecraft and made a redstone contraption to auto-feed villagers or something. He started by saying that he wasn't good at redstone and proceeds to show something so complex that I would have to follow a tutorial to make it.
I am a programmer, and I can barely put together a latch in redstone. Anyone that programs redstone is a "tech guy" to me (whether they can build a PC or not).
He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it's computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.
I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume "kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses" and stop teaching general computer courses. That's a problem.
Wouldn't be surprised if he paid someone else to do all that lol
Iβve never watched any of his videos. They just donβt appeal to me and never have. However, given his apparent fame, itβs good for linux.
The more people acknowledge linuxβs existence, the more engagement, the more growth.
Hereβs hoping someday Windows will be a nasty memory.
His original shtick when he was the biggest tuber was yelling at his streams.
My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.
I really can't wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.
First i need to know what Katy Perry thinks about linux
Good point. We peasents don't even know what love is, let alone Linux.
