? I've been very consistent in not overselling linux, and calling out that overselling whenever I see it. I've been 100% Linux for 15+ years, and I really want people to use it (more users = more likely for vendors to support it). However, if you oversell it, especially to gamers who have very little patience for things not working properly, it's going to backfire.

So yeah, I'm grateful that someone as popular as PewDiePie is recommending it, I'm just a bit worried about the public perception once people realize there are caveats. It's fantastic if you're flexible about what games you play, it's not if you really need that specific MP game to work.

Grandma is totally the right market here since it does basic computing stuff really well. Gamers however, as a broad group, aren't, especially gamers interested in streamers, which are often the more social type (read: more likely to be interested in anti-cheat MP games).

I don't know about you, but my grandma isn't using her PC to play Fortnite.
