PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

    It can literally resurrect 10 year old computers.

    I’ve got a 14-year-old Toshiba that I used in college that runs a weird variant of Ubuntu called Kumander (it’s designed specifically to look and feel like Windows 7, which I think is properly nostalgic for the hardware). As long as you don’t expect the battery to last more than an hour (which about par for the course for a laptop from then) it’s perfectly serviceable as a SOHO-type machine.

    Also it can double as a self-defense weapon cause it weighs like 10 lbs.
