I love how you didn’t have to edit in the arch logo because of course you didn’t have to
Having Ubuntu with the big bucks instead of Red Hat is mental, given that Canonical made 12M on 250M revenue in 2023 while Red Hat made 434M on 3.4B in 2018. I’m citing these years because that’s what’s available in Wikipedia. Red Hat is probably more profitable today under IBM. Kinda goes to show the general unawareness of the Linux corporate landscape around here. :D
I don’t think red hat is even on the list, so the fact that they’re making even bigger bucks doesn’t really matter.
Bro out here analyzing a meme
True?
Oh damn if you’d rather be ignored, that’s super easy to accomplish
If Debian is good enough for Hide the Pain Harold, it’s good enough for me.
You kinda hurt me with the Mint one
Greetings, fellow Mint using geezer!
It’s the boomer distro now 🥲
I think I would still recommend this distro today because imho it’s very usable if you’ve never used linux before and it is in my experience very stable and compatible
(although i use arch now btw, i would probably never recommend it as a beginner distro)
I switched to mint 2ish months ago and a friend of mine switched to fedora at the same time. Both new from windows, I have had no issues with mint but he has now switched to Debian cause he was having issues getting discord to work properly.
OOTB experience with mint is it works, it kinda feels like cheating having a distro that works easily without tinkering. Like I don’t feel like a real Linux user haha, but I would 100% recommend it.
The meme is very accurate imo, the text would definitely be “hello fellow linux users!” instead of youths haha!
Mint is great for older PCs. If you have a newish computer, there’s better options.
I’m using mint btw
something tells me this was made by a opensuse user
My OS (chad wojak, very ripped and cool)
Your OS (stinky hairless wojak who is not ripped or cool)
As you can see, I have drawn you as the soyjak and me as the chad. Clearly my argument is right.
As a Tumbleweed user, I fully agree 😎

NixOS gang, you here?
No? Guess I’m here alone. Meme checks out.
NixOS = Nix tue Light Drake (NSFW)
lmao my
etc/nixos/configuration.nixfile is a mess, I have a huge list of programs and programming languages I use inpackages = with pkgs; [ ....no flakes no modules… so the meme does not check out for me… but at least I got i3-window manager working using the wiki
Lemme guess … OP is an open suse user ?
As a Gentoo user, I can confirm I started from sticks and rocks. I’m now in the space age though because of the customizability and performance boosts, so image is a little dated.
Also that’s literally Sir Primitive Technology on that picture, so you had nothing to worry about even from the start!
I would say arch is more of the buzz lightyear shelf meme, you think you’re being unique and cool but really its probably the most popular enthusiast distro
It’s not about Arch itself being a unique choice, it’s about how Arch looks very different from user to user because they not only had the option but the requirement to install nearly everything but the Kernel themselves.
The result is that no two Arch users end up with the same OS, just the same kernel and package manager.
90% of Arch users run the exact same installation you get when you copy-paste the example commands from the installation guide without diving into linked pages, then add a user with default groups and install Gnome.
While I don’t think it’s as high as 90% of users, I admit I didn’t think about people who would subject themselves to Arch just to not take advantage of what Arch has to offer.
(But seriously, why would anyone choose to do this when they can just install Mint)
Rolling releases and very “vanilla” packages. I get the upstream configurations with very few changes, making it better imo to modify and rice into what I want.
Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That’s really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be “unique”, but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.
If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I’d put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that’s constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.
Pacman and the aur
If you use Arch you’re either a neckbeard or a femboy. No in between
I use Arch btw
Some are femboys with neckbeards.
Use or have used? Because if the latter I just learned something about myself, not sure which yet but…
The third option is the trans woman :3
I have met 3 arch users irl.
One was a hacker man kid (unironically one of the best developers I’ve met), messy hair, hoodie but other wise a regular kid.
One was his friend, jock kind of kid. Not necessarily good at programming but he did program and was enthusiastic about it.
Another is a CS major, 6ft tall and fit. Not much else to say about him. He studies CS, you can infer whatever else you want.
And obviously me (btw), not that I’ve met myself.
EndevourOs and I feel called out
I’ll take them light up shoes though
Shoe trim lights match his laptop’s. I wish I could be half that cool.
That makes two of us
Kali linux actually have purpose to teach how to do pentesting not actual tools for pentesting nowadays because in my perspective almost all tools in Kali Linux already in abandoneware or EOL since the tools it self almost never got updated (and still used Python 2.7).
My friends that works as pentesting said to me Learn kali or BlackArch to grasp thing about pentesting, once you already mastered it you create your own tools because different target requires different tools & every pentester & hacker has its own tools that we made ourselvesI use arch btw. Also a mobility scooter.
Does the scooter run on arch yet?
slaps on mobility scooter seat
This puppy runs on LibreScooterOS
Wouldn’t Puppy Linux make more sense?
The processing power scales with the max weight on the scooter. They know.
…maybe
