Welp, #PewDiePie has opened the floodgates to the #Linux community now that he's actually done a full video explaining his move to Linux, why he did it, and why he thinks others should ditch #Windows.
I honestly expected a nothing burger video with not much meaning/input to it, esp to someone who's already on Linux, but his points were pretty interesting. Some of his takeaways:
- He was tired of #Microsoft's bullshit concerning ads, #AI slop, and bloat - and how he really supports the idea of #FOSS, and gave the example of how cool it is that #Valve saw the issue on putting all of their/our eggs (shares) in Windows' basket and addressed that by building on top of an existing FOSS project, #Wine to then develop #Proton, which as a result has unlocked and enabled the expansive #gaming scene that we have today, not just for the #SteamDeck but all Linux users as a whole.
- He, surprisingly loves the customisation aspect of Linux and how everything is modular - which meant we could change things like the GUI (desktop environment) and customise it as desired. He even (appropriately) used the term, ricing lol.
- He, even more surprisingly, loves the fact that there are many Linux distros to choose from - when some find this to be somewhat a hurdle. He highlighted how you should just pick one and move forward, which is often true - this choice doesn't really matter as much these days (if ever). His choice was #LinuxMint, the distro he's tried 15 years ago.
- He noted how, like anything, Linux isn't perfect and there may be sacrifice(s) needed - like how some apps may only be available on Windows, for #macOS, and likewise for Linux. His sacrifice was #Adobe #Photoshop, but he was happy to ditch the thing (which costed him 60 USD just to unsubscribe), and his chosen alternative was... #GIMP - I know some might not agree, but he liked it
- He mentioned how searching (locally) on Windows is garbage, and everyone knows that's just... objectively true. Like him, I too was amazed how local search actually JUST WORKS and is super fast on Linux, unlike on Windows or macOS.
- He noted how goddamn easy and intuitive installing/updating/managing apps are on Linux by using the system's package manager (app store), rather than having to look up the app installer online and dodging all of the shady sites with malwares and so on.
- As if this wasn't enough, Pewds really went down a fucking rabbit hole, almost putting to 'shame' for most, all average Linux users (incl myself) by literally installing/using #ArchLinux on his laptop, which is normal, 'cept he's not using a regular DE like #KDE or #Gnome but he instead, opted for a tiling manager, #Hyprland with #Rofi, #Waybar and all lol.
Anyway, it's a pretty cool video - and I underestimated Pewds' love for tinkering and using the terminal, so much so that I hope his users don't think that they actually need to use the terminal for the things he did haha. https://youtu.be/pVI_smLgTY0

PewDiePie's Linux video. It's good, ánd it's funny. So much so that I'm jealous.
With this potential critical mass combined with the gaming community it's all downhill for Windoze from here.

I recently ran into an article over at Ars Technica that contains the history of the Windows Start menu complete with screenshots of each major release of Windows, including a few beta versions.

Ich habe gestern meinen "neuen" Laptop wieder in ein Produktivsystem auf Basis von Windows 11 umgewandelt. Hat weniger als 1 Stunde gedauert. inkl. Netzwerktweaks und Personalisierung der Software.
Die ständigen Unzulänglichkeiten mit #Linux nerven mich und halten mich vor allem von der reibungslosen Nutzung ab. Jede Woche muss ich mit irgendetwas rumärgern, was plötzlich nicht mehr so funktioniert wie vorher. Das habe ich in über 35 Jahren Microsoft nie gehabt. Und da ich weiß, wie man ein #Windows vernünftig härten kann, habe ich mit dem Thema dort auch keine Probleme. Auf Netzwerkebene spielt dann auch das OS sowieso keine Rolle mehr.
Ich werde Linux natürlich nicht komplett den Rücken kehren, habe noch den #Gaming Laptop von 2017, auf dem in Zukunft Distrohopping auf 2 internen SSD betrieben wird. Vielleicht finde ich irgendwann ein Setup, mit ich dann auch wieder produktiv arbeiten kann.
Was mich nach 2 Jahren an Linux - neben der in Teilen ideologisch völlig verblendeten Community, die bis heute mit Multi-OS Nutzern wie mir nicht zurecht kommt - am meisten überrascht hat ist, dass meine Ansprüche an ein Produktivsystem gar nicht hoch sind. Vor allem ist es gar nicht die Softwarekompatibilität bzw. die Auswahl oder die grundsätzliche Handhabung, die bei den meisten Wechselnden zum Stolperstein wird, sondern es scheitert bei mir ausschließlich an der Stabilität und Zuverlässigkeit des OS bei absoluten Basics im Alltag. Wenn ich meinen Laptop anschalte, möchte ich nicht hoffen müssen, ob meine Bluetoothgeräte erkannt oder meine #NAS Freigaben verbunden werden. Oder ob das 1(!) Spiel, was ich seit fast 20 Jahren spiele, auch über den Startbildschirm hinauskommen wird. etc. pp. Und das passiert auch bei den großen Distros, die auf jeden Fall genug Kapazitäten zur Weiterentwicklung haben.
Ich habe die Hoffnung nicht aufgegeben, aber für den Moment bin ich hauptsächlich wieder mit Windows unterwegs.
Für die Linuxcommunity vielleicht noch ein letzter Hinweis:
Wenn ihr Menschen von Linux überzeugen wollt, konzentriert euch auf die aus eurer Sicht größten Stärken und Vorzüge und verzichtet auf das ständige Vergleichen und Schlechtreden anderer OS. Kein guter Stil. Wenn die Community der Gradmesser gewesen wäre, ich hätte nie weiter über Linux nachgedacht. Mich hat ausschließlich meine IT-Affinität und mein Interesse, Dinge auszuprobieren, zu Linux gebracht.
To other #JAWS #ScreenReader users, is anyone who uses #JAWS2025 having issues with the results viewer? I'm not sure when it started, but mine is completely inaccessible. Anytime I try to use PictureSmart, FS Companion, or anything else that uses the results viewer, it opens, but I can't read anything. JAWS won't do anything while on that window, and escape doesn't close it like it should. I tried repairing JAWS but that didn't fix anything, so I'm wondering if it's a script I use causing the problem. The only scripts I have installed are Leasey and the Zoom pro scripts by @brian_hartgen and a few scripts for things like Discord and Unigram by Doug Lee. I'm starting to contemplate a complete reinstall of JAWS though because not being able to use the results viewer is causing me more and more pain.
