Its from thinking of arch, isnt it
Tech boner
Any girls wanna pull my hair and read me the Arch wiki π
Dozens are waiting for this.
If there are dozens of thirsty lesbians using Arch Linux, then I am one of them.
If there is one thirsty lesbian using Arch Linux, itβs me.
If there are no thirsty lesbians using Arch Linux, then I am no longer on Earth.
If the world is against thirsty lesbians using Arch Linux, then I am against the world.
Umm.... Would you like a drink of water?
bruh
In your local area!
Honestly the arch wiki is like a black hole, dragging Linux users towards using arch. I got so used to using arch wiki on other distros that it eventually got me to switch to something arch based.
Edit: btw
You forgot to say btw :D
He said "arch based" my guess is he didn't want to say "I run manjaro btw"
Endeavor is fine, that's what I point new users at when they're not confident in bootstrapping an install manually.
Edit: remember, friends don't let friends run manjaro

Solely for scientific reasons for my friend, where is the original image from?
Some russian photographer. It's not one of those movies everyone loves so much.
disappointed sound
Nothing finer in the world than French wine, Cuban cigars and Russian escorts.

The arch wiki is generally actually good though. Dumbed down where it needs to be, usable examples, and in a familiar format.

ArchWiki is the best documentation out there of operating systems in general. I consult it even if not dealing with Arch

I'm a Debian enjoyer and still read the arch wiki
I'm a debian fundamentalist, you should repent!
Nah, arch wiki rocks
Honestly, the arch wiki is hit and miss. Sometimes it has the information you need written in a way that you can understand, and sometimes the examples randomly switch graphics cards mid-sentence.

You aren't a Linux user if you don't like to RTFM.
A lot of the time there's just no way around it.
And this, folks, is why there will be no βyear of the Linux desktopβ. The technical difficulties, and the surrounding gatekeeping.
Donβt get me wrong, Iβm a dev, I RTFM, but for most people, their computer is just a simple tool, like a hammer or a screwdriver, that lets them do the actual work they have to do. They arenβt any less βrealβ Linux users. Just users that will go back to other OSes cause it doesnβt work for them and they keep getting told that itβs their fault for not reading the manual.
Yeah, I see a fair amount of gatekeeping and condescension in Linux communities. I also see a lot of people who truly want to be helpful, but that aspect is there.
I've seen Linux compared to car ownership a number of times, and I think that's an apt comparison. I have the knowledge to use and perform basic maintenance on a car, and I have no interest in learning more. It's a tool made for a purpose. Some people love to tinker with cars, and I can understand that. I love Linux and enjoy tinkering with it, but it generally won't "just work" for most users. Yes, if you're setting it up for your grandparents and they just need a web browser or something like that it's probably fine but most users that aren't Linux savvy are going to run into issues.
Linux is becoming ever more usable, and I think usage will continue to increase alongside that, but I don't see it ever becoming a major personal desktop platform. Wouldn't mind being wrong, but Linux will be fine, regardless.
That was more ranty than I had expected!

Joke's on you, we don't need there to be one. Mine was 2007. Yours was whenever it was. I welcome new users, but my happiness doesn't depend on Linux appealing to everyone, and neither does the survival of Linux as an option.
The types who appreciate what differentiates the Linux experience from Windows or MacOS (in terms of the typical benefits we'd evangelize) will find their way here. It's naturally getting easier over time, and the contrast (especially against the Windows experience) is only increasing in its attractiveness.
You need a willingness to learn, and if you've never installed an OS ever before that will be true even for Windows. Why are we trying to lower the bar further than that? Not everyone has to start with Arch, or should.

Gatekeeping aside....
LMDE on somewhat recent hardware with an iGPU. My wife has not asked me a single question, mostly since she opens the laptop, opens firefox, does whatever, closes laptop. An absolutely typical user.
Sometimes she even clicks on the update popup.

I don't get it. Women don't exist, this is just a fantasy
AI generated, obviously
I appreciate the Arch wiki much, even as a layman Kubuntu user. It explains some background concepts pretty well which aren't typically coveyed in man pages which dedicate themselves to individual commands and their syntax. For instance I've read about home folder encryption or how signals get converted from keyboard presses to symbols on screen. It's not perfect when it comes to writing style and coverage sure, but it's a valuable compendium to have in addition to everything else.
So where's the Gentoo user? Behind the camera probably. Compiling the scene.
