From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Vegan when eating, Arch Linuxing when computing, communist when sharing, capitalist when investing, ...

The list knows no end. Why not just say what's appropriate for each particular circumstance?

"Actually", I just arch vegans.

Depends on whether you installed arch on the plane yet.

[–] probably@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

This might be my favorite meme of the month. There is a problem though. How often do they actually talk to people to end up in this quandary?

I kid. All the love to my vegan arch users. Or arch using vegans. Whichever one you prefer.

And what is, if this vegan arch user rides a fixie?

What if they're a vegan arch user from Yorkshire?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

They'd pick that up fine when you say "Ah use t'arch by t'way, annumavegan". :)

Non-vegan Arch user here. Fun meme.

With that out of the way, I tell whichever one best suits the context at hand. Most cases it's neither.

What if you are using VIM and Arch ...

[–] float@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

I'm using Vim on Arch but I'm vegetarian, not vegan. Anyway, that would be my order.

[–] raven@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I usually start off with some Dune lore as a litmus test to see if we can be friends.
