    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.

    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 🥲

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

    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)

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

    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!

    My OS (chad wojak, very ripped and cool)

    Your OS (stinky hairless wojak who is not ripped or cool)

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

    As you can see, I have drawn you as the soyjak and me as the chad. Clearly my argument is right.

    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.

    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

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    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.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

    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)

    If you use Arch you're either a neckbeard or a femboy. No in between

    I use Arch btw

    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 ourselves

    I'm going to say yes as I sit here wearing a fedora tank top.

    So I'm a rather large dude in a blue Shirt and an extensive Anime-Collection but I also have a sick haircut, sunglasses and underglow sneakers?

    Works for me!

    Also: I use Arch BTW.

    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.

    I'm using MX, but yeah, it's Debian... I'm also an 53yo old coot

    53 here as well. The Debian guy hit a little close to home.

    Very accurate representation of Garuda Linux
    Tbh i kinda like Garuda since it help newbie understanding arch in easy peasy way , i hope other distro take a note & does the same thing since more and more user willing to use linux
    Things I don't like from garuda their OS very resources hogging & has weird zram thing that very aggressive in usage

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

    inaccurate. I don't own a suit or an impressive jawline although I am using fedora
