    First time Linux user

    Knows nothing about the choices you make in Arch to personalize your system

    “Yes, Arch is the one for me! Because I know everything about Linux already.”

    Soon: “I don’t know why X is happening on my system”

        Just because SteamOS is based on Arch now doesn’t mean that using SteamOS teaches you anything about using Linux or Arch specifically.

        The SteamDeck literally obfuscates most of it and you have to choose to boot into desktop mode to even mess with anything.

    I wonder if he’ll make a video (if he hasn’t already) on why he chose to switch to Linux; I’m quite interested to hear what made him decide to switch, and I’m also very interested to hear what issues, if any, he encountered along the way.

      Care to elaborate? I’m not updated to PewDiePie’s stuff anymore. I’m living under the fucking rock.

        He had a bunch of “Haha, I’m just being a nazi ironically and what even is a nazi, this symbol has lots of other historical usages” incidents, such as paying a foreigner to yell “death to jews” and doing a video where he was wearing a shirt with an iron cross on the collar.

            How many years ago was that. It sounds like he apologized and has taken a long break from YouTube and yet here come a bunch of actual screeching fascist saying, “Gross that he uses Linux! Arch is now NaziOS & we want to see him publicly executed still!”

              Nobody wants s calling for him to be executed, we just don’t like or support him and are voicing that.

              He can apologize all he wants, it won’t change his actions.

                  Sure I stabbed you, but I apologized. No I’m not going to pull the knife out or fix the damage, but I’ve stopped pushing it in further.

                  What exactly has he done to atone? Simply not saying slurs or making Nazi jokes anymore isn’t enough, that’s the bare minimum.

                  The point of apologizing and changing your ways is to grow as a person and not cause harm, not to get people to like you.

                No fascism is when you’re against free speech & constantly advocating violence against non-violent people who have exercised free speech, and then when someone does apologize for speech you didn’t like then 5 years later you’re still trying to censor those people.
