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?

You know he's a Linux user because tells everyone he uses Linux without being asked.

    Installing Linux was a good decision.

    I have not gone back to Microsoft Windows.

    Don't listen to people telling you it's hard. I don't have any IT degree or engineering degree

    Installing it was easy. Linux is elegant, secure and powerful. I love it.

    I admire the perpetual Linux optimism but man if I could make money betting against you I would (I'd feel a little evil about it, but I need the cash).

    When corporate slop all around us is continuing to thrive despite lower and lower quality products and receiving government support now too, to think the big money makers will somehow lose traction in a meaningful way to open source enthusiasm is niave imo.

    I'm not even sure Taylor swift could make Linux happen this year, nevermind this racist dirt bag.

    It definitely won't happen as long as the corporate world is slaved to Microsoft. We actually have a few Linux computers on our domain at work and they're a pain to administer as are the four Macs that we have.

    I have, we're a multi-OS houshold. Linux, Steam Deck, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android.

    Different tools for different purposes. You wouldn't have just one kind of screwdriver, right?

    I get having Linux and Windows, after all you need a backup solution for when you can't use Linux. But why do you also have a Mac?

    Then I guess iOS makes sense if you have a Mac, but why also have Android?

    Windows for interoperability.

    Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!
