To be fair. This can be applied to apple and windows users sometimes.

    I use glorious Nixos.

    This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.

    Isn’t this mainly an Arch meme? I think most Linux users who have been using it for several years don’t go around talking much about it anymore. But I admit the meme kinda does depict mid-teenage me who had recently switched to Linux.

      It’s actually really easy, the best is to start with Linux From Scratch. That’s how you get a couple of hours of heartwarming fun and games.

      Start on your grandmother’s PC she can join the fun

        Great, thanks. But isn’t she going to be confused by the lack of anything to click on? She doesn’t know how to “hack” or “code” or whatever you Linux brainiacs do lol…?

          She will catch right on, just trust my advice. A “mouse” is overrated, I haven’t used on in years. Once you memorize the man pages(just a few minutes) should be smooth sailing

          Gaming on linux is surprisingly good right now. Other than those games that require kernel level anti-cheats, most games work really well.

          … But in case it wasn’t clear, the user suggesting linux from scratch is joking. Use Linux Mint or Ubuntu if you’re starting your linux journey. Try it on a virtual machine, for instance.

            Nah I’m happy with my Gentoo box sporting Lutris, just doing some light hearted trolling.

    I’m the opposite, I generally don’t mention it because I know that I won’t be able to keep myself from talking too much about it. If it’s someone who’s at my place and they ask what I’m using or I just see them looking confused about what’s going on when I’m using it I’ll gladly show them but never do the whole speech thing about why and why they should too etc.
