    First time Linux user

    Knows nothing about the choices you make in Arch to personalize your system

    “Yes, Arch is the one for me! Because I know everything about Linux already.”

    Soon: “I don’t know why X is happening on my system”

      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.

        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 🤷‍♀️

            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.

        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.

          He has a long history of incidents like, “Hey, why are you following those white supremacist accounts on Twitter and promoting their books?” or “Oops, I was wearing an iron cross just as a joke!” and “I paid a dude to yell, ‘I hate Jews!’ as a prank, bro.”
