Surprising to see Youtuber PewDiePie (110M subscribers) publishing a video last night , "I installed Linux (so should you)" with a call to his community to join the platform, underlining the fun of customisation and DIY, in opposition to all the enshitification of Windows. His main point of friction for moving was Photoshop, and he explained how he made the effort to adapt GIMP to his needs. Always good to see initiatives like that shared to large audience.

Getting new people to Linux is good but pewdiepie is well known to have a part of his community being fascists, so that also means more fascists to come to the Linux world. Be careful on forums.

Can you please for 10 fucking minutes just let people live their lives and not make every good thing political?

Do you really hate open source so hard, that you need 1/2 of the population bullied out of using them?

@LukeAlmighty @loyhena It would only be a good thing if people didn't use "open source" ((not actually) source-available proprietary software) and instead used free software.
