Have you heard of our lord and saviour Arch Linux BTW

- “Is that like Jesus?”
  
  “No, it’s not like Christianity at all. Nobody who’s ever talked about Arch has ever gotten nailed”

  No, you're probably thinking of Temple OS.

  What about burned on stake for witchcraft?

- Obviously only real linux users use Void, you can tell because they have the best OS-Chan mascot.

  Nonsense...real linux users use Slackware. Why bother with all these fancy new distros when the original is still going strong?

- Get on the NixOS train, loser. Arch is too easy. /s

This was funny the first time I saw it, back when windows 10 came out.

48
- it's still new for gentoo users who started installing that day and decided to go with openoffice from source.

- Can't wait until Windows 12 or whatever comes out and Windows 11 magically becomes the go-to version.

  No this meme is from 2018

This even funnier now that they've come full circle to shutting down Windows 10 - Our Last Operating System!

Linux users aren't people ;)

Man I really like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE you all should try it

10
- It's been a hot minute since I ran SuSE (before it was OpenSuSE) but since I'm distrohopping lately I might have to give it a go.

I let a friend try out Linux after I've been using it for years and they were shocked how much easier some things are. I think the idea of throwing them into a like Windows distro is the wrong direction. I'm ready POP OS's new desktop whenever it comes out.

10
- This is the reaction I get from people too. :)

I don't have a PC right now but I'm a Mint guy.

  Both, obviously

You guys should try Kali Linux with KDE Plasma. I'm really enjoying it. It's so easily customizable.

5
- Ok I installed Kali now how do I hack?

Yes pop!_OS is ok I don't like it that much but it is a good distro

I have recently started using KDE and so far i like it after years of XFCE on slower pc. And every now and then I think about switching to some debian based distro but AUR spoiled me and now I am too lazy. Its great that with my setuo I can change distros and have working OS in under an hour with all my software already setup.

- KDE ran much smoother with the same resources on my desktop, I regret not switching sooner.

Causally recommending linux and shutting down inane tech support questions aren't the same thing. If I get asked: "X feature stopped working in the newest macOS. What do I do?" I tell them the truth: "I switched to linux to get the feature back."

I feel called out here lol. Granted, I've only recommended it to people I know who complained about the performance of windows. Linux is so much more optimised

Kind of reframes the whole being a vegetarian thing...

1
- Well, did you know I'm vegetarian and used to run Arch? If you could show me your fridge and computer, please, I'll fix them for you!

This answer is stupid. I don't think it's unusual for a non-tech savvy friend who heard about Linux to ask for an opinion.

1
- I think it is unusual. As a software engineer who has a large circle of friends, loads of them know I use Linux, but literally no one cares or is curious about knowing more. And honestly I'm not interested in explaining. We talk about and do other things lol. I sometimes talk about differences and news about both with those who have jobs or interests closer to the IT business, and we have a short conversation about those news, but nobody asks me about Linux, and especially not Windows. It's not interesting.

- If Lemmy is any example the "I use Linux" crowd is like "I'm a vegetarian".
