I don’t normally watch him but this popped on my feed, and I’m pretty impressed. Dude really fell the Arch+Hyprland rabbit hole and ended up loving it.

Probably one of the largest YouTuber switching to Linux, and is very positive about it.

That Hyprland rice is pretty sick too.

    Always love seeing popular people talking about/pushing it. The biggest thing desktop Linux was missing in the past was a critical mass of users. And, It seems to have gotten that critical mass now.

    You also probably learned most American/Canadian Linux users do not like anti semites nor fascist supporters or something something…at least stop giving the douche views.

        Not if they find they can flirt with antisemitism for shits’n’giggles and get away with it, they don’t. The guy is an irresponsible moron 4 lyfe.

        He did a ‘Training like Mishima for 7 Days’ video just 10 months ago who is famous for trying to coup the democratic Japanese government and reinstate Hirohito as the ruler. How is that “Growing up?”

        You can stay on your little corner then, while the rest of the world moves forward without you.

        Don’t get me wrong, I hate the Nazis too. But if you can keep a bad group from using something, the same argument can be spun to keep a good group from having it too. This is why open source never discriminate.

        The devs may have iron grip on the development process, and they may keep the Nazi influence out that way, but they can never impose on who may or may not use what they created.
