From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's Nox. That tends to happen.
That was cringey as fuck but I guess get the word out in whatever way works
He started on Newgrounds, so he brings that heavy helping of early 2000s Newgrounds edge. Certainly not for everyone. ^^;
Glad to see people making videos about this stuff. I hope they continue in that direction and dabble in sharing on a peer tube instance or something similar. Creation is one aspect, but distribution also matters. Talking about breaking free of corporate control loses some credibility when it's content for- and can only be accessed on- YouTube.
One thing at a time. Give him some time. He's fresh into our free world 😀
James Lee endorsing Linux is fucking good shit man solid W year of the linux desktop moment
I had the same reaction when he suddenly dropped the "ulterior motives line" and my hopes became true.
Been watching his stuff for a while, and it was great to see a pretty successful artist find a way to make their pipeline work, and also talk about it.
Eyup. That's a modestly sized creator exposing Adobe alternatives and Linux to a large following. Hopefully this'll pull some people away from the corporate operating systems. Maybe even to just look out of curiosity...
I like this it's a shame none of the programs highlighted were open source but shows commercial software can survive on Linux and he did the move correct by making the move to Linux the last step. By switching your applications first on windows then moving to Linux.
Yeah, I had no trouble switching to Linux, as I already was using FOSS programs with native Linux versions (i.e. Blender, Krita, OBS...).
Shit, that was good. Maybe making the switch will help reduce the amount of ambient doom I feel nowadays.
Very good. Now what brand of toothpaste is he using?

The one that trades in the fluoride for pure edge.
OMG one my favorite creators on my favorite platform, this will get my penguin panties wet 😳
Goddamn I wish I had teeth I could be that confident in
Confidence isn't dependent on externalities. Confidence is a state of mind.
The state of mind depends on sensory input.
Don't know him and not really interested in the topic much but that was a fun video!
Nox has a lot of great stuff on his yt channel. One of my favorite animator/producers.
