h0bbl3sI’m going to say yes as I sit here wearing a fedora tank top.
ShadywackOmg Manjaro is spot on!
infinitevalenceYeah… saw that and instantly was like shit they got me.
themadcodgerI'm not sure I fully get the manjaro one. What type of person is that representing?
I took the joke as Manjaro is a poor impersonation of a pure Arch install, so it’s half-assed like the users. It’s a meme, though, so don’t take it too seriously.
Also, if you use Manjaro, it’s just a joke and you’re still awesome for being a Linux user.
You kinda hurt me with the Mint one
DiplomjodlerGreetings, 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
Mint is great for older PCs. If you have a newish computer, there’s better options.
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!
CO5MO ✨I’m using mint btw
I love how you didn’t have to edit in the arch logo because of course you didn’t have to
As a Tumbleweed user, I fully agree 😎

SunocAeon FTW
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
Avid AmoebaHaving 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
True?
Oh damn if you’d rather be ignored, that’s super easy to accomplish
AdrianTheFrogI 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 use arch btw. Also a mobility scooter.
Does the scooter run on arch yet?
LibreScooter OS
Wouldn’t Puppy Linux make more sense?
SabataThe processing power scales with the max weight on the scooter. They know.
MagisterI’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.
ahornsirupI don’t think you can lump Endeavour and Garuda together. Yes, they’re both based on Arch but Endeavours basically is Arch with a GUI installer and sane defaults while Garuda changes a ton of things and adds a ton of customisations that make it very different from a plain Arch (or Endeavour) system.
Love how you put a black dot on Ubuntu derivatives. Could easily mistake one for the other.
JilanicoGreat this means I have to use Garuda or Endeavor 😮💨
RustyNovaDebian, 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
Dharma Curious (he/him)Iunno. I’m a fedora user and match more closely to the pics for mint and Manjaro…
Garuda, you got me 😭
If Debian is good enough for Hide the Pain Harold, it's good enough for me.
That man is a hero.
Why is Fedora a psycho? Or is that not the relevant part? Maybe just business-like?
occultist8128i’m mint and void guy at the same time
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
THIS is what the LINUX COMMUNITY uses??
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.
90% of Arch users run the exact same installation you get when you copy-paste the 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 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.
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.
OwlPacman and the aur
exuIf 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.
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.
Went from gentoo to manjaro, can confirm. My hut was awesome but the shower took hours to compile.
