Watching this video brought back memories of when I first started using Linux. I really connected with him. Linux makes you feel like you have a lot of control – like you can change things easily. Windows, on the other hand, often feels frustrating and doesn’t really help you much.

What I noticed about the video is that he encourages you to try new things and be willing to make mistakes. He doesn’t seem to get upset when things go wrong, which I think is helpful for viewers. He also admits that Linux isn’t for everyone, which is a realistic acknowledgement. It’s a good video for introducing Linux, but it doesn’t overhype it either.

not a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago

yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention

Not personally a fan of Pewds, but this is a good thing. Dude’s still got 110M subscribers, he can reach an enormous viewer base. Not only that, but he’s got a magical ability to reach younger people in a way that grumpy old farts like me can’t (I’m five years older than him, which makes me a fossil). If Linux has had one problem through all its years on the good, green Earth, it’s marketing. Pewds might be just what it needs for this to finally be the Year of the Linux Desktop.

Hate the guy but good for linux’s publicity
