Shit, just linux.
Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Lol
Okie Pew, show me an open source spreadsheet app that can do tables, I'll wait.
Or, let's see you install Debian in one try on any of my machines. Or worse, Mint. Machines that Windows has zero problem installing.
How about cad? Or running any form of CNC? or a million other systems that have zero support in Linux land?
Tell you what, Pew, maybe you should come to the real world where most of us don't have time to play with our asses to get standard hardware, like Logitech mice to work.
And I use Linux every day, as servers. But I'll be damned if I ever use, or recommend it, as a desktop. There are tools I need (like excel) that simply must work, as-is. Unless you want to pay to redevelop all the systems that have automation to output/input excel formats that have been operating for a decade or more.
If Pew was "tortured by windows", then I seriously doubt his technical creds, , frankly.
Funny of you to say that. I've got a Orange pi 5 MAX (which I'm pretty sure it can fall into the "not a easy machine to install Linux" category) and the experience, for the most part, was straightforward. (You've mentioned an issue regarding mices --I've got a "Ragnok 2 gun mice" and it "just werked" on it. No tweaks or "mental gymnastics" required.). Hell, even enabling hardware acceleration was very straightforward as is -- you just have to know where and what to look for.
I'm not trying to defend Pewdiepie -- just saying that Linux can be "user friendly" just like Windows if you know what you are dong.
