To be fair. This can be applied to apple and windows users sometimes.
How rich of you to think us Linux users have someone to talk to.

Some of us do, but you can see their eyes glaze over the moment you mention Linux...
Have you heard the good word of our Lord and savior....
Good idea. When the Mormons come by, start talking to them about Linux. If they start reading scripture, you start reading man pages.

That's not correct. I have plenty of people to talk to. They don't talk at me back though.
Can confirm, not a current linux user. I have a DnD group to talk too...
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.
Akshually its called GNU/Linux π€
I have to use windows at my new job, and I hate it so much. Have I said that in the last few minutes?
Yeah, about 4 minutes ago
Thank god I got it out in time.
Windows sucks balls.
I'm still on Windows 10. Sure would love a reason to switch...
You fucking fiends.
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
Whatβs a mouse? I use neovim btw
games
On Linux?
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 use glorious Nixos.
This is not a recommendation. It is an abusive relationship. Do not install nixos without research.
NixOS is a dangerous drug, but at least it's a drug without side effects, since Nix is purely functional.
open a terminal and enter the command:
yes I am using Linux
U R using yes the wrong way.
$ yes no

I saw this, told my cats, and felt better
I feel worse because I donβt have cats and you do have cats. Itβs a catastrophe.
- step one: put food bowl out and refill it on a constant schedule
- there is no step two
Edit: listing is hard

I feel personally attacked by this post.
I donβt even need to say it anymore. Every single time a coworker, friend, or family member expresses frustration with Windows in my vicinity, I just shoot them a snarky glance and they preemptively tell me to shut up. β€οΈ
Holy crap maybe that's why I've been in such a trash mood for a few weeks
Btw I don't use Arch
I use windows and Mac os
It's like the Crossfit of tech
My brother jokes about this referring to me, but lately he has been noticing the power of Linux and FOSS, he switched to Lichess from Chess.com and immediately noticed the benefits and how the are totally worth the downsides.
He also noticed how quick my system is, and how cool is that I can hibernate my laptop.
I just hope my efforts make them all switch (at least their personal computers) to Linux at some point.

Hey guys, I use Linux Mint btw!
top left pic is the same girl in the meme about the guy watching another girl while walking with her GF ?
I'm using MX Linux BTW
For Arch users it's only 5 minutes. MX Linux users it's 3 1/2 minutes.
Edit: I actually meant to say NixOS users, but MX Linix users probably feel the same.
Been actively suffocating for 10min
