something tells me this was made by a opensuse user
I’m going to say yes as I sit here wearing a fedora tank top.
True
I love how you didn’t have to edit in the arch logo because of course you didn’t have to
You kinda hurt me with the Mint one
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.
Greetings, fellow Mint using geezer!
I’m using mint btw
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
Bro out here analyzing a meme
Oh damn if you’d rather be ignored, that’s super easy to accomplish
True?
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.
I’d prefer the “ain’t nobody got time for that” woman for Mint (and so speaking about the more hands-on distros), but I can’t say the existing image isn’t accurate.
… not that I can say that it is accurate either. And the demographic in the Threadiverse allegedly has a heavy skew towards that picture, Mint or not, so it might be counterproductive to run a poll here.
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
I 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
If Debian is good enough for Hide the Pain Harold, it’s good enough for me.
Went from gentoo to manjaro, can confirm. My hut was awesome but the shower took hours to compile.
Debian, Ubuntu, Ubuntu reskins, kali, windows and apples are spot on.
Linux mint doesn’t fit.
And I can’t say for the nix one as I don’t get it.
I don’t have experience with the others to tell
Why is Fedora a psycho? Or is that not the relevant part? Maybe just business-like?
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
If you use Arch you’re either a neckbeard or a femboy. No in between
I use Arch btw
Some are femboys with neckbeards.
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.
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.
Not for me, I’m a Crunchbang user.
