I hate to say it, but it's literally PewDiePie recording a video and showing young gaming fans Linux and calling it "cool". That's it. The guy's got 110M subscribers.

Maybe. But so what? Pewdiepie wouldn't have made the video if windows didn't have serious problems, and if Linux wasn't an incredibly good kernel to build an OS on.

That video highlighted that you don't have to be technical to use Linux, it's here, and it's ready for mass adoption.
