My son uses Arch... How do I know? He tells me... Constantly...

Fuck that guy in the meme.

Downvote cause of Crowder

update: upvoted after change.

Stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is total trash.

Whenever anyone brings this up, I imagine a vegan sitting at a table with their new friends, refusing to eat any chicken wings, but also not saying why... And then everyone harassing them with a million questions like, "do you not like hot sauce? We can get barbecue", "are you on a diet?", "are you allergic?", etc, etc. Finally, after half an hour of this, they lose it and just as there's a lull in the music, they scream out, "look, I'm a vegan! I don't fucking eat meat! Fuck off!"

The whole bar goes quiet, staring, then one of the people at the table reaches for a wing, looks at the vegan, and says, "dude, chill, we get it, you don't eat meat, blah blah blah. You don't have to talk about it every 5 minutes! Here's some bread and butter."

Man, imagine being stuck not only in a distro-wars mindset, but also thinking vegans are some kind of problem. Not ever has any of my countless vegan friends started to talk about how great being a vegan is. Strangely this phenomenon seems to be limited to social media and I couldn't care less about that

You do realize that people with celiac disease aren't just choosing to not eat gluten right?

I've met quite a few vegans and far as I know none of them avoid gluten. I also know someone with celiac disease, who would never even contemplate going vegan when he already has so many dietary restrictions to put up with.

They're not absolutely mutually exclusive groups, but pretty close to it I think. Slackware users who install everything through Snap are the real gluten-free vegans of the linux world.

I'm a vegan arch user. Not gluten-free. That's for gentoo.

That's gentoo users actually

I think FreeBSD users are the literal gluten free vegans of the Linux community. That is if you want to consider them part of the community.

They don't use Linux and they don't use glibc.

And this is why i am on the raw meat diet and use temple os

Edit /s

I'm a celiac with a dairy allergy, but I use Fedora.

...

I miss cheese so much

this isn't true imo. not because it was never the case, but because nowadays arch is so easy to use it's a perfectly normal thing to do, "i use arch btw" isn't a shocking statement

the gluten free vegans of the computing world are NixOS users

Op neither likes people decided to not kill animals nor people using community driven distributions.

You could have used the original meme. The mindset matches

Isn't this like complaining about what type of toilet paper somebody uses? Who gives a shit?

Dude every distro has users that won't shut the fuck up about it.

In that there's a meme about them constantly talking about it, and any attempt to call the meme wrong is just used as further evidence in favor of it?

Stop using the Chowderhead template.

Chuck Norris invented Arch btw.

I use Fedora btw

Guix users represent.

I honestly don't get the parallel here... They both annoy you when they talk about their respective "thing"?

Glad I use Nobara 😜

I thought those were the Nix/Guix users?

Wouldn't trying to change your mind basically become a self fulfilling prophecy.

But what does an Arch using vegan who does cross fit talk about first?

Arch btw

Is arch like, gentoo with a binary cache ?

Switched my vote from down to up since you did the good thing

ITT arch users salty about being compared to vegans. Heavy is the crown, wear it proud.

And put down your phones!

"You know what they say about Arch users, right?"

"That they're pedophiles?"

[Spits out drink in laughter because I expected them to say "they tell everyone"]

I'm related to someone who's the same way with closed captions. Yes, I know you can understand every word. Yes, I can see how it makes you enjoy a show even more because you catch all of the little things. No, I don't want to turn it on this time when you, a totally non-disabled adult, is visiting. This relative has a religious fervor in their need to convert us to CC.

Arch users know they picked one of the least usable distros with no upsides, so they have to constantly try to convince everyone else how much better it supposedly is. Classic post-purchase rationalisation, only the currency is the sanity of the user.
