Updated template. Had no idea on who the knucklehead from the original template was.
Downvote cause of Crowder
We did it, Lemmy!
This is excellent
Its not mine… I found it somewhere and saved it. and thank you
Stop using the Steven Crowder meme already. The guy is total trash.
OP does not use said meme
this guy links to it
Smh.SMH.
(Or possibly OP edited away from that meme and this guy leaves the link. I’m a day late, take your pick. )
Just as OP.
You should pick another distro and become equally as insufferable.
I recommend Mint. Its basically a 1:1 clone of windows from what I recall of using it years and years ago.
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?
Their microbrew.
communism
That they’re going to Coachella.
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.
What can I say? Everytime I get an update I get a little spike in dopamine. Arch is perfect for that
I also get a little spike in dopamine every time I don’t hurt an animal. That’s why I’m vegan too 😎 don’t even get me started on the “b12-less buzz” 😏
Sadly, those updates have diminishing returns for me. “Oh, yet another kernel update. Time to reboot again.”
“honey time for a kernel update and reboot”
“yes dear”
b12-less buzz
I just take a B complex vitamin each morning.
Yeah but then you miss out on the buzz (/s, referring to one of the symptoms of b12 deficiency “paresthesia in hands and feet” https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-b12-deficiency-symptoms#pins-and-needles)
Guess I’m missing out!
vegan btw
I switched from arch to opensuse tumbleweed, and even though I really like opensuse, arch was so much simpler to maintain, pacman is so much better than zypper. I disliked arch until I gave it a real try, but even though I’ve moved on for now on my main computer, arch is stil a really good distribution if you know how to set it up
You might want to have a look at endeavouros if you consider coming back. It does a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I’ve got arch, manjaro, antergos in my background as far as arch-based distros I’ve tried over the years, and have not had major problems with any of them, but endeavouros is an easy install with some conservative defaults. I had only a couple things to add on afterward to get it just how I wanted, you have a fair bit of control at install time, and once installed it’s just like maintaining an arch system.
No I have no trouble using arch and I still use it on my laptop, I just like opensuse because it’s fun so I use that on my main computer now
No worries. For me, the the fun of installing wore off after a couple times, so I have stuck with derivatives in recent years, but I get it. :)
Theres no real reason to manually install arch anymore though, archinstall script is easy, and works well. Yea you don’t get a fancy GUI, but there are plenty of options to choose at install time.
The 2 best features that I love and cannot live without anymore are having a rolling release that doesn’t break every single time I try to do a distro upgrade, and the AUR. I use Arch btw.
Preach. (Though I haven’t used pure Arch in a long time.)
Rolling distros have been all I’ve run for at least the past 6 or 7 years, and I essentially never do a fresh install anymore unless I get new hardware. It’s a lovely, low maintenance place to be, and I’ve always got fresh versions of all the software I use.
I have a roughly 13 year old install that I’ve moved through the transition to /usr/ and from sysv to systemd. Its my oldest install. I run almost everything except suse as a systems admin.
As a way to run Linux, I find arch one of the nicest. Rolling release, unmodified packages direct from the dev, unopinionated systems management, arch build system for any packages you want to compile, arch Linux archive that can be used for snapshotting or locking your rolling release, and AUR.
It’s a completely different way to manage and build an OS that no one else is really doing. I find team ‘I use arch btw’ to be extremely annoying but at the end of the day, the arch tooling for building a Linux ypunlike to use means that people are naturally going to want to tell you they built something they find enjoyable to use. That’s not really something a lot of people say about most OSs.
I have a range of issues and annoyances with most major OS, ranging from i cant use this to i wish this worked. Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu/deb flavors, redhat/fedora flavors, openwrt, alpine and other busybox flavors, iOS, Android, Graphine. All have things that mostly work but I’m always working around something.
And finding accurate documentation for issues on distros that have different configuration release to release is a pain, deb, Ubuntu and redhat flavors are especially egregious. I don’t really care how to do this on RH6 or Ubuntu 11, lol, I want docs for the current version.

I wanted to try to find a way to say this in reply to some of the other comments, but I wasn’t sure I could communicate it effectively without just sounding like I was living up to the meme. You did a better job than I would have. :)
I have a roughly 13 year old install that I’ve moved through the transition to /usr/ and from sysv to systemd.
Whew! I’m aware of both those transitions, and was an arch user during one of them, but that’s super impressive. My oldest install is from 2020, endeavouros on a headless media server in my basement. Not even close!
Yeah, I that nk a lot of people ‘get it’ but can’t quite explain it. So they tell you they use arch and they they are excited about it.
I’m a pro, I’ve used basically every type of Linuxevwr made. Ive built and run linux from wcratch multiole times, as a lewrning experience, a teaching experience and even protypes for production systrms. I understand the packaging philosophies, I understand the opinionated administration decisions. I’m subscribed to most major distro mailing lists and i understand the political motivations that drive various teams to the different technical decisions.
Arch isn’t for everyone. And I’m totally fine with that. But it is perfect for people who want to build something with well crafted and unopinionated tooling. Of everyone ‘got’ arch they’d be failing at what they ate trying to do.
Classic post-purchase rationalisation
Except it’s completely different starting with you not having to spend a penny lmao
The upside is it’s a rolling release and very convenient btw.
Glad I use Nobara 😜
And this is why i am on the raw meat diet and use temple os
Virgin edit
Chuck Norris invented Arch btw.
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.
I feel like with this analogy that would be like saying vegans are part of the meat community which I would assume most people would disagree with.
Of all the OSes I’ve tried to get into, FreeBSD is the worst by a longshot. I didn’t even get it up and running because the community was so fucking toxic. Yes, I read the fucking manpages, no the thing I’m trying to do wasn’t covered or was unclear. Oh my God, alright, nevermind.
I’m not sure I really see the reason to use BSD over Linux in the first place
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’re visiting.
If you’re actually hearing impaired I’ll probably tolerate it for you. Though realistically we just won’t watch anything together.
Otherwise I hate you for asking. Nothing makes a show/movie unwatchable more than having the text of what a character is going to say shoved in my face before they say it. I’d rather get kicked in the balls repeatedly than watch shit with subtitles. It’s less severe torture.
Jeez are captions that bad for you? You can’t like, tune them out?
Absolutely.
They’re exactly the same as the audio being out of sync. It literally makes me want to puke.
We’ve upset the great captioned mind! Run for it Marty!
And put down your phones!
You do realize that people with celiac disease aren’t just choosing to not eat gluten right?
True, but those are not the people the men’s is making fun of. It makes fun of perfectly healthy people who decide they need gluten free everything because they heard that gluten is bad and they can’t do any research on how and why. Same with vegans who are only vegan because it’s trendy (and who probably cheat every other meal because a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition).
a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort
It isn’t that hard in most “well developed” (sorry to use that term) places. Sure, you have to look at some nutrition labels and maybe take a B vitamin, but it isn’t arduous. Took me next to no effort, but going from ~18 years vegetarian to a vegan diet wasn’t hard for me personally.
a vegan lifestyle actually requires a fair amount of effort and learning about nutrition
I was actually surprised by how little effort it really took? Like replace butter with margarine, slave milk with oatmilk and, unless you’re baking, eggs aren’t actually that important.
The rest is just choosing different meals. Roasted vegetables, fried rice, bulgur, beans etc. instead of steak or sausages or what have you. Get some starchy stuff, some veggy stuff, some proteiny stuff = heathy meal. Most nonvegans live less healthy than that. Then there really is only the B12 debate left, and if you want to err on the safe side just take some supplements. They’re really cheap.
Sure, it wasn’t 0 effort, but it wasn’t exactly rocket science either.
slave milk with oatmilk
What’s slave milk?
Milk produced by slave labor.
What slave labour? Is there slave labour where you live?
The slave labor of the cows and goats in this case.
I see.
It’s actually not quite as easy, you do have to at least get a rough understanding of what you need and where to get it.
Especially for women, iron deficiency is a real problem. For some reason, they lose a bunch of iron every month and that needs to be replaced. A lot of women are running low on iron even with “conventional” diets, so dumping all the iron rich animal products can be a problem.
It’s far from impossible, but you have to educate yourself a bit about your needs.
But thats true about nutrition in general. A lot of people have deficiencies without being vegan, this stereotype that veganism is somehow dangerous unless you know what you’re doing is just wrong. People need to be more educated about nutrition in general independently of veganism.
The people being mocked are the ones who have made “gluten free” trendy and that labelling far less reliable for folks with celiac.
On the contrary, since gluten-free food became trendy, there’s been more of it on offer, which is better people with coeliac disease. The problem arises when chefs and cooks start thinking gluten-intolerant people are asking for gluten-free food because it’s trendy, so they decide to just run the risk of poisoning someone because they think they know better. I used to have a chef like this, and he ended up poisoning someone. Massive cunt, he was.
I mean you can choose to power through it. I’d sooner have a windy, achy gut than eat a gluten-free yum yum.
Have you ever had gluten free pastry?
It’s like someone gave aids and bone cancer to dog shit. 🤢
Are you seriously comparing devastating and life threatening diseases and bodily waste to food that thousands of people eat every day without complaint?
Please inform yourself before diminishing others’ plights.
Diarrhoea that is characteristic of coeliac disease is chronic, sometimes pale, of large volume, and abnormally foul in odor. Abdominal pain, cramping, bloating with abdominal distension (thought to be the result of fermentative production of bowel gas), and mouth ulcers[35] may be present.
Coeliac disease leads to an increased risk of both adenocarcinoma and lymphoma of the small bowel
Long-standing and untreated disease may lead to other complications, such as ulcerative jejunitis (ulcer formation of the small bowel) and stricturing (narrowing as a result of scarring with obstruction of the bowel).
Have you ever had gluten free pastry?
Yes, I’ve had gluten-free pastries before. My friend has Celiac and can’t consume gluten due to possible intestinal damage.
He has taken me to delicious gluten-free bakeries to get ice cream cookie sandwiches, pumpkin bread, brownies, garlic parmesan bread, quiche, meat handpies.
I mean you can choose to power through it. I’d sooner have a windy, achy gut than eat a gluten-free yum yum.
Well, if you had celiac disease, good luck living with permanent damage to your villi in your small intestines.
I use Fedora btw

Fuck that guy in the meme.
Seriously. That shit needs to die already. I really don’t want to see this fascist fuckface all the time.
FYI, OP swapped the image, making your comment appear misleading. Everyone loves Calvin, the little gremlin!
Or op is conservative.
Or OP is one of the many people who still doesn’t know who Steven Crowder is
I envy them 🥹
I long for the days when he was just a voice actor on Arthur
I’d suggest against that, he has a history of assaulting people who do that.
Why?
Maybe they just find him handsome?
It’s steven crowder, he’s a sexist, homophobic, transphobic content creator.
Did it matter? I thought it was Tom hanks until recently. It’s not like he gets paid every time it’s posted.
But he wins internet clout, which as we all know from Keanu Reeves, is sometimes enough for you to make a comeback long after your career is over.
(Nothing against Reeves, seems like a good dude)
He only wins internet clout if you know who he is. I didn’t. He was just that guy in the meme.
Now he’s been named at least two people, who didn’t know of his existence, now know.
You’ve just Barbara Streisand’ this guy.
Just the facts:
