      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.

      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.

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

      I use Arch btw

    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:

    • Debian: Smiling old men with tea meme, since it is so standard 0815
    • Arch Linux: Overweight NPC meme in his room Anime collection in background
    • Ubuntu: Money Meme (because big Cooperation sponsors Ubuntu I guess?)
    • LFS (Linux from scratch a Distro where you build everything from scratch to learn how the linux system works): it has some Spongebob meme where Computer science P.h.ds get instructed by a wise snail who is an LFS user
    • Manjaro: guy who looks cool from the front but his ass is visible in a mirror behind him
    • Open-Suse: Chad-Meme (I guess the creator of the meme loved suse)
    • Linux-Mint: Weird guy who wants to be cool with a skateboard… I guess since Linux-mint is so easy to use??
    • gentoo linux and void linux: Stone age survivor in the woods with old tools (since you build everything from scratch with simple tools in these distros)
    • Garuda Linux: guy with flashy LED-strips built into his shoes and expensive gaming laptop trys to be cool with sunglasses
    • Pop-Os/Ubuntu: They are clones of each other, since they are all debian/ubuntu based
    • fedora: Psychopath American Psycho movie meme
    • Kali: Hacker with sunglasses on Laptop guy meme
    • Windows: Guy with a clone of himself behind him holding a gun. (viewing the Candy-Crush advertisement in the start-menu be like:)
    • Nixos, OpenBSD: Lonely guy sitting on a chair, staring into the void, he seems to be at peace.
    • Apple: Golden luxury toilet, 5 stars
    • Tux sits on a white Porsche racing car overtaking chromeOS sitting in a spongebob meme car, Apple with a cool Porsche red racing car behind.

    I don’t think you can lump Endeavour and Garuda together. Yes, they’re both based on Arch but Endeavours basically is Arch with a GUI installer and sane defaults while Garuda changes a ton of things and adds a ton of customisations that make it very different from a plain Arch (or Endeavour) system.
