Is this the tipping point? There was another popular Youtuber who made a similar video recently, I forget who, but I could see videos like this bringing enough users to make Linux more than a drop in the bucket.
it was pewdiepie
and he not only made his "im switching to linux" video, but then also made like some diy makerspace video and then got into selfhosting and degoogling within like a month and ngl these videos had so much genuine passion, and that's what makes it so cool.
Wait seriously?
I might have to check those vids out...
I haven't watched him in a long long time
It's a very recent development, so no wonder you missed it. Yes, Pewdiepie went full Arch with Hyprland and made his Steam Deck into a server and I'm not even joking :D
