    He’s getting really well into the Linux and FOSS rabbit hole. And he’s also serving as a “celebrity role model” for people interested in switching to Linux. This can have lots of potential!

        As much as we may disagree with Felix and his decisions, I can’t help but see the potential value of one of the most popular internet celebrities in the world pushing the “Linux is just as good as windows now” narrative.

        It’s gonna push more devs to click that enable Proton button a lot more often, they wouldn’t wanna lock their game off of one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world now would they?

          For me, if the year of linux desktop requires a piece of shit then I’d rather it just not happen at all.

            This is the shitty gatekeeping attitude that supports the stereetype you have you be a neckbearded techie living in your mom’s basement to use Linux.

            When was the last time you checked in on Felix and his actions? I personally haven’t in at least 9 years, back around when he started getting heat for his less “friendly” statements.

            Do you know, with absolute certainty, that he still holds those beliefs and still acts according to them?

              He’s done nothing to make me believe he’s changed.

              Less friendly statements is a hell of a Trumpian way to say racial slurs.

                He’s done nothing

                But have you been paying attention to his behavior or just waiting for a big grand news worthy statement?
