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
Bro out here analyzing a meme
True?
Oh damn if you'd rather be ignored, that's super easy to accomplish
You kinda hurt me with the Mint one
It's the boomer distro now 🥲
I’m using mint btw
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
(although i use arch now btw, i would probably never recommend it as a beginner distro)
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!
something tells me this was made by a opensuse user
If Debian is good enough for Hide the Pain Harold, it's good enough for me.
That man is a hero.
inaccurate. I don't own a suit or an impressive jawline although I am using fedora
As a Tumbleweed user, I fully agree 😎
I'd prefer the "ain't nobody got time for that" woman for Mint (and so speaking about the more hands-on distros), but I can't say the existing image isn't accurate.
... not that I can say that it is accurate either. And the demographic in the Threadiverse allegedly has a heavy skew towards that picture, Mint or not, so it might be counterproductive to run a poll here.
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.
I like this meme because it portrays me positively 👍
NixOS gang, you here?
No? Guess I'm here alone. Meme checks out.
I love how you didn't have to edit in the arch logo because of course you didn't have to
As a Gentoo user, I can confirm I started from sticks and rocks. I'm now in the space age though because of the customizability and performance boosts, so image is a little dated.
No Tails?
They are in the picture, you just can't find them.
They pulled the USB drive when they saw there was a group picture happening
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.
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
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)
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.
Let me summarize the glory of the meme for people who do not get all the distributions references in textual form (and as a check if I get the references): The image shows the branding image of a bunch of operating systems and Linux distributions with memes ... descriptions follow -- left to right top to bottom:
