What this picture doesn't show is that Microsoft HQ isn't one building. It's like 1000 buildings. It's the size of a small city. You can drive for 10 minutes and still be at the Microsoft HQ. It's insane. They have their own mall, their own soccer field, their own bank branches, and their own shuttle system. The amount of money Microsoft has is truly mind boggling.
If I remember correctly Linus uses i3 primarily, so instead of wasting 20% of the screen on UI and compensating with a second screen you only look at 30% of the time, it just tiles your windows so you can make more efficient use of the screen you have
Is Arch like the linux version of being Vegan? ie the running joke is people using Arch can't get through a conversation without mentioning it? I feel like I've see basically a carbon copy of this comment on so many posts about Linux I'm wondering if there's an "in joke" there I am missing, lol.
It's not what the joke is about, it's about the operating system headquarters not some random company which uses the operating system. Linus Torwalds on his walking desk is the headquarters is literary the Linux headquarters.
Ok I didn't double check if those buildings really are Microsoft and Apple but that doesn't make the unexpected contrast to Linus Torwalds on his walking desk less funny.
