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

      I use Arch btw

      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.

        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.

          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 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.

            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.

      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.

    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

    So, how would MX be under the “How do you do, fellow kids?” one? It’s completely flying over my head.

    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

    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

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

    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.
