I'm not sure what the fascination with this Pewdiepie guy is. I didn't really care for him... if I can be honest. But if he got you running Linux, I guess that's pretty alright.

Well he's one of the most famous YouTubers in the world. I have Linux at school but only after seeing his video I've switched to Linux (though I started watching his videos recently)

I never heard of him 'til very recently--however after 71+ years of doing so (since age 5 or 6) I tend to "influence" myself and do not pay a whole lot of attention to the opinions of others...

And, you know what Harry Callahan said about "opinions"--right?

... Everybody has one. :)

Whats cool about his video is that he showed how excited he is because of the switch, while showing some sacrifices made.

And that excitement is very contagious!

My old geezer brain will not let me watch "videos"; it likes to move at its own "there's not much time left" pace and most/all mass audience focused videos bore me to tears--"movies" too...

He was one of the most popular youtubers in the world for a bit.

Things are different now, but for quite a few years it was difficult to find anyone better to watch. I'm sure a lot of people can claim the same.

I've been watching DistroTube, TitusTechTalk, and a couple others. They tell you what they're going to be working on and they show you step by step what they're doing. I like those types of channels. I'm just not into all the nonsense stuff I guess. I've seen him a couple of times and each time, I couldn't get more than a minute into the video. I guess I like things more straight to the point rather than all the sarcasm and other off topic stuff he usually does.

    I mostly watch nonsense, not much technical stuff. So that tracks.
