And tech papers like Heise now include a test how Linux runs for new gaming devices. Is 2025 the year of the Linux desktop?
If you’ve made the switch, that year was the year of the Linux desktop! ✨
switch
Deck, actually 🤓
Also works! 😁
2009 was the year of the Linux…laptop
Also good!
I used to have my living room gaming pc on windows and switched to linux this year and its awesome. Sunshine/moonlight are two programs that allow you to stream games from your pc to any device and it’s such a game changer!
I DON’T CARE WHAT THIS NAZI BURNOUT THINKS
Oookie dokie… 👀
Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol
But which Linux?
He was and forever will be an rich kid with internet so whatever is the most popular. When he was a teenager that was Mint, now its Arch. Which is why he has Mint and Arch+hyprland.
When he was a teenager it would have been Slackware. Not even Knoppix was released yet.
And he didn’t use Linux as a teenager. You hallucinate things worse than ChatGPT.
I went with Mint because its the same one that I installed 15 years ago

For accusing me of hallucinating you are the one that hallucinates stuff.
used» installed
OTOH the idea that Windows tortured pewdiepie seems like a point in its favor.
Rather that noobs stay on win tbh. If gnu/Linux become mainstream, the Adobe, MS etc etc will just move onto Linux. Just look at flathub - how many of the top downloaded programs are proprietary? A lot, e.g. Discord and Steam.
This is a genuine concern that I have.
I don’t daily drive Linux (though I use Tmux and Vim 8 hours a day if that counts for anything) so take this with a grain of salt. Would those companies jumping to Linux really be a problem? Steam is embracing Linux and it seems like it’s legitimized Linux gaming in a way that people never thought was possible. I hate Adobe, but how would Photoshop Linux edition prevent you from using open source alternatives?
So, nobody should ever try a Linux based OS because large companies may start supporting Linux?
Best argument for using Windows I’ve ever encountered tbh
Fuck that guy though. Probably get someone else to be your Linux spokesman.
