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.

What happened?
I don't agree that he's a nazi but he did some pretty heinous things, like tricking these people into writing this horrible sign:
https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/13/14605060/pewdiepie-disney-deal-lost-nazi-anti-semitic-imagery
and he did a hard-r on stream.
I don't think this qualifies for being a nazi (he doesn't advocate for an authoritarian dictatorship or a protectionist economy, nor does he want to scapegoat a group for all of his countries problems), but it is awful, racist, and disgusting.
But I don't really care if people do call him a nazi, to be clear, it's probably more effective messaging anyway.
That's not how the internet works. You make one mistake and the online leftists never forgive you.
He's drop the n bomb multiple times on stream
All of that was over half a decade ago. At this time on YouTube, everyone was doing edgy jokes. He has spent the meantime bettering himself.
