PewDiePie switched to linux

Spoiler: 2 seconds at the very end, Linux Mint, no comment

Interesting, an undercover Linux youtuber

I failed to see when it happened, but it’s really great, it’s no only a Youtube, but THE Youtuber

Oh, I see it, he shows a systemd-analyze and the desktop. It looks like cinnamon to me, but awesome anyways

I was curious if he was actually a convert or was just giving it a try. It’s possible he showed that one frame out of context to generate some buzz. These days, you can’t trust YouTubers to show anything without intention.

In any case, it definitely did create a buzz. One of my PC enthusiast fan (who recently became an MS hater and switched to Mac) is trying out a Linux distro despite switching to Mac.

In that part, the highly transparent terminal looks a lot like Ubuntu with zsh and oh-my-zsh. In 22:55 there is a terminal again, running systemd-analyze in the same terminal prompt showed on 02:40 and just after that he shows a recently logged in desktop.

The menu have the Linux Mint logo, that I wasn’t able to see in my phone, it’s very noticeable on the PC, but not sure if it’s cinnamon or MATE

As he told he has to protect that baby he has to protect his privacy so she recently switched to linux

What? That is literally when he shows an ad

25:46 is some game being played; I’m guessing that game could narrow-down what OS was used :stuck_out_tongue: (doesn’t look like Xonotic)

now he installed arch

Another year of the linux desktop aha. No it’s not.

Either he’s turned into a full-on distrohopper or he’s just gaining internet points (though he doesn’t really need the latter). :smile:
