Man... Linux Mint users get so much flak for being boring, when in reality I just want my OS to get out of my way and let me use my programs with as little hassle as possible and Linux Mint is the king of doing just that.

Steam OS: You tell everyone that you are using Arch btw.

"just because you can't get a date doesn't mean the West has fallen". Wow.

[chsovi]

the debian section made me feel personally attacked

"Luke Smith or his deepfake"
that hit way to close home, and I also didn't know you where that deep in the meme lore

"Linux from Scratch:
You read an entire dissertation just to fail at compiling your own distro 12x in a row, when you got it to work by some miracle you now started to exclusively use Vim in a TTY because you're too scared a GUI will break your system. You were the kid that wrote their school projects in Junior Year in Haskell, you don't shower because you spend all your time internalizing a 200 page PDF and debugging your compile config"

I was gonna write a huge paragraph how arch is stable but an update broke my desktop.

as a 20 year old (by age) debian user .. yep i feel old af

my linux journey: debian -> xubuntu -> debian -> opensuse -> debian -> arch -> clear linux -> debian -> arch

As an ex-distro-hopper,
i can personally confirm that all Linux distros are pretty much the same after you configure them to act and look just how you want them.
The only difference in them is how long it takes to get to that point:

PopOS: Almost immediately perfect.
Ubuntu: Takes slightly more time and effort than Pop.
Debian/Fedora: Takes slightly more time and effort than Ubuntu.
Arch/Gentoo/Nix: 20 years and counting, pending completion.

3:04 Accurate, I'm literally waiting for Firefox to compile on my main computer and I'm watching this from another device

I use linux mint and none of the traits under the mint section describes me. I am a CSE student who just wants stability in my PC and not to get my PC messed up after a software update while having a reasonably good experience using it. I don't care if i use proprietary stuff or not on bleeding edge as long as I get stuff done and not forced to update my PC at critical times.
I do use the terminal and GUI interchangeably.

Always glad to see OpenSUSE Tumbleweed managing to dodge all the strays while being the objectively best distro :D

2:58, I miss when Mental Outlaw did daily Linux content :(

[sebastiangonzales]

I love Linux Mint, everything just freaking works and when you destroy something you could just run Timeshift (make sure to make a snapshot first)

Void users in a "my distro wasn't mentioned 🤪" competition and their opponent is an OpenSUSE user:

[ArturdeSousaRocha]

Someone should make a distro named "btw".

My Linux journey -> Kubuntu -> 5 years pass and someone tells me how cool my arch setup is (never distro hopped)
