    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?

        It wouldn’t but since these software companies (Autodesk as another example) have a monopoly, I doubt that most windows users for some reason would switch to Foss alternatives - thet already have that ability with windows. I fear that Linux basically becomes windows in terms of what software is primarily used, i.e protritary software.

        My premise is that Linux and its user space applications should be free software and that the community should fight back against non-foss in this space.

    And tech papers like Heise now include a test how Linux runs for new gaming devices. Is 2025 the year of the Linux desktop?

    Seems like PewDiePie is a lot more open-minded than a lot of Windows users lol

      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.

          For accusing me of hallucinating you are the one that hallucinates stuff.

    Fuck that guy though. Probably get someone else to be your Linux spokesman.
