      He came back with his vlog channel after he left due to something about support Nazism?, I’m guessing he’s trying to come back in some form or another, the money is too addictive.but I doubt he would make a big impact, he can’t compete with the current top tubers.

      The people who care have always done so. They’re just 25 now. This is relevant to his target audience.

    I’m not a tech guy

    • Installs Arch
    • Installs Hyperland
    • Makes custom animated ASCII art for NeoFetch
    • Makes custom bash script for his sponsor spot
    • Creates a completely custom reactor-themed desktop

    Yeah I think he’s a tech guy…he just doesn’t know how to build computers (that was painful to watch).

      By saying he’s not a tech guy probably just means he’s not a programmer. But with how he’s done everything he definitely has the chops to be one.

      He seems to be a guy that really likes to tinker with things. And those are the kind of people that Linux, especially arch, really latches onto.

        I remember when he played minecraft and made a redstone contraption to auto-feed villagers or something. He started by saying that he wasn’t good at redstone and proceeds to show something so complex that I would have to follow a tutorial to make it.

          He has a degree in industrial engineering according to Wikipedia, logical thinking should come naturally to him. My high school decades ago teaches logic gates for it’s computer literacy curriculum. He might not be a programmer, but probably has exposure to these topics in general education.

          I mean no offence to you. But education departments these days assume “kids have phones and iPads and must be computer geniuses” and stop teaching general computer courses. That’s a problem.

    My windows partition forced me to do an update which has now broken the start menu and right clicking on pinned icons. Thanks Microsoft. Great job.

    I really can’t wait to be rid of it completely but unfortunately the building and construction industry is addicted to torture and refuses to move on from Autodesk.

    I’ve never watched any of his videos. They just don’t appeal to me and never have. However, given his apparent fame, it’s good for linux.

    The more people acknowledge linux’s existence, the more engagement, the more growth.

    Here’s hoping someday Windows will be a nasty memory.

    Yes, Linux is king. More stable, better hardware utilization. Better customizability. Linux just makes more sense.

      More stable

      Wellllll, I wouldn’t go that far.

      I just had to reboot because clicking anything in the browser randomly started sending the CPU utilisation to higher 70s, which was triggering the fans to spin at full power.

      Then I ran a game on Steam and Steam said it’s running, but it was nowhere to be found. Had to reboot again.

      Both of these happened completely randomly after I changed nothing, just browsing the web.

        You dont have to restart your Computer, you can also just kill a task.

        To make it simple use something like mission center

        Steam said it was running

        Probably updating the client in the background, for some reason this is the default updating behavior on Linux unlike the visible progress bar on Windows

      More stable, haha. I was just randomly surfing around and my computer goes to sleep and can’t wake up.

      Also randomly, my computer won’t go into sleep mode when I close my laptop. It works about 90% of the time, but that 10% is when I pull my laptop out of my laptop bag and my computer is on fire and fans full blast trying to cool itself. The OS came from IBM installed.

      Seems like he’s trying coming back to relevancy because the money was too good back then, can’t do much in Japan outside of vlogging about living there.

        But your assuming he changed and not learned how to disguise his behavior better, which he’s doing with his vlogs. I don’t people look past his support for Nazis and shilling for youtube

          as long as he grew from those mistakes and became a better person (as he evidently has) he deserves another chance, not that all that should be forgot (ofc not) but people learn from their mistakes and why should we let a few edgy jokes from 2015-2016 (which he evidently regrets) let us regard him in 2025 any differently?

      He still has the 10th most subscribed channel on Youtube, him endorsing Linux is huge due to the reach he has. His video has 3.2 million views, other content creators are making their reaction videos to his video. You don’t have to like him to see how big this is for Linux.

      This guy has a major following. He could be the next world leader because of brain rotted voters. I have seen kids obsessed this guy, like he could do no wrong. Now those kids are adults. That is pretty difficult to ignore for me.

        I’d take him over Trump if those were the choices in an election I had a say in tbh.

        Wouldn’t take him over someone with experience and sane policies, but definitely better than the MAGA folks.

      We shouldn’t give a shit about any social media influencer or celebrity or whatever’s opinion. Cool that he is promoting the change to Linux. And at least he uses a computer. But yeah, fuck em.
