If the steam deck keep growing in popularity, Arch is going to be the first linux for a lot of people.
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.
and you have to choose to boot into desktop mode to even mess with anything.
You say that like it's a bad thing, but I think having the two separate modes is a fantastic setup. You get basically a console experience, smooth and straightforward and easy to use for just playing games, and you still have access to the underlying system anytime you want.
My point wasn't that it's a bad thing, my point was the vast majority of SteamDeck users are never going to boot into desktop mode.
So Arch is basically Windows but with nerdnip.
Any conclusions drawn from a child's personality can't necessarily then be applied to a parent. Hannah Montana Linux was ultimately a Debian, but it was so far from stock Debian that the comparison makes no sense. The same, I assume, applies with the Arch-derivative that runs on Steam decks. We're not in Arch-kansas any more, Toto.
The closest to "Windows with nerdnip" is probably Linux Mint, but even then that's a fairly unkind comparison.
I use LMDE, btw.
Assuming that's not some default config I just don't know, that's actually a rather competently built config for i3 or similar. If he did that hinself he should manage.
It says it is using Hyprland which is a Wayland-bases tiling window manager with pretty good defaults.
He doesn't need to keep his system working, he can probably pay someone for that. He needs something that will maximize engagement, and a million "I use arch BTW" comments is exactly what he wants.
I don't think that was the goal cause he didn't post like a post, it's a story. Engagement on it is not visible and as far as I'm aware, it doesn't boost anything.
Also Linux would be the last place any influencer would go for engagement farming.
Its the only OS option that could farm engagement, as no one would react to him using windows or mac
oh great, Linux certainly needs a nazi seal of approval
woah what
Many years ago he paid like 5 bucks to see if some Indian guys would write "heil Hitler" on a sign and hold it up for a video (they did}. He was doing stupid edgy humor and playing with like like many creators at the time. Many people canceled him "fully" a year or so after that when he had the "bridge incident". He called someone the n word for camping or something while he was playing PUBG. He apologized and took responsibility for using the word...sorta. He continued to make content for a few more years and then he "retired" in Japan with his wife and child. They post update videos every few months but more or less he got his bag and dipped out after he pulled too many stupid moves and was seen as "toxic" to work with.
I don't think he's a bad person, but that's just as someone who occasionally watched his videos over the years.
people here really hate him for something I see in the average TF2 lobby. Also to me it seems like he has taken responsibility and grown from it π€·ββοΈ
Impossible. You know damn well people on the internet can't change.
Ivkenz I understand being mad at him for sure. It's they staying mad at him forever that I don't understand. People make mistakes. People change. He didn't do anything worse than 90% of the guys I knew in highschool at some point. You grow up and you learn that behavior isn't correct.
Fuck this nazi.
I may not be entirely up to date but why pewdiepie is nazi
i have the same question
If only there were some way to search the internet for info. π€
You all are still on that train from 2017?
Do you think disliking nazis was something we were supposed to stop doing at some point?
Disliking actual Nazis, instead of wasting your anger on this guy. He's just used to be edgy. Not to mention he's not even edgy anymore. He's actually a pretty cool guy.
I can forgive people for being edgy back in the day, IF they apologize and explain why what they did was wrong. Pdp did nothing and just brushed it under the rug.
why does his status bar look better than mine :(
Is linux becoming this popular, or is this a one-off incident?
Definitely a one off thing case here. Last week he was on mint and now on arch with hyprland already. He doesn't upload that much so he's probably experimenting a lot.
rare arch l
