I installed Linux (so should you)
PewDiePie’s latest dive into Linux is equal parts hilarious and insightful. In his video, he talks about how Windows has been “torturing” him for years, pushing him to finally make the switch. He praises Linux for its lack of bloatware, its freedom to customize, and—surprisingly—its growing viability for gaming. He even compares Valve’s support for Linux to Gandalf heroically arriving at Helm’s Deep, which is a pretty epic way to frame the shift. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows—he acknowledges that switching means sacrificing some Windows-only apps, though he insists the trade-off is worth it.
What makes this video stand out is PewDiePie’s signature humor and relatability. He doesn’t just throw technical jargon at his audience—he makes Linux feel accessible, even for casual users. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his journey from frustration to liberation is something a lot of people can relate to. Whether you’re a hardcore techie or just someone tired of Windows updates interrupting your workflow, his take on Linux makes you want to at least give it a shot.
So, should you install Linux? Well, if PewDiePie’s experience is anything to go by, it’s definitely worth considering. The video isn’t just a love letter to Linux—it’s a call to break free from the constraints of mainstream operating systems and explore something new. If you’ve ever felt like your computer was working against you instead of for you, maybe it’s time to take the plunge. What do you think—ready to ditch Windows and see the sun?
