What your Linux Distro says about you.

Inaccurate garbage.

I use Arch because I'm old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.

/s

It's cute. Thanks for posting.

I'm on Slackware because what I've used since 2002.

I've tried a ton of distros but nothing has beat the stability of Slackware. Also been using it since around the same time

Recently I joked to less techy friends that in the patch of the internet I most often lurk, there are two "genders": anarchist, trans, cat girls, and libertarian techbros. This seems similar to the joke that was made about Arch.

I run arch btw. I am neither trans, nor a catgirl, but there is no question about where I belong — I have the programming socks, after all. Besides, anarchist trans catgirls throw the best parties

I fucking hate how accurate that is, I am anarchist (adjacent), a transgirl, and I do say nya a lot. I use Fedora tho.
Where do seasoned, leftist, graybeards/hairs fit into this gender binary?

I'm on Ubuntu because last time I built a computer I was doing a lot of ROS development. I'm pretty uninterested in experimenting with distros and just want something with LTS releases that lets me work and play some games. If I ever decide to move off Ubuntu it will probably be to Debian.

If you ever need to reinstall, I would recommend Mint. The main branch is a fork of Ubuntu, but it feels far more polished in my experience.
- Doesn't mint have a history of security mishaps?
- Mint looks nice, maybe in a few years when I decide to build my next one.

Not even the man RMS himself uses GNU/Hurd or Guix, which is hilarious.

I knew RMS is supposed to refer to Richard Stallman and while reading my head filled it in as "Richard Maria Stallman"
- Its Richard Matthew Stallman

I use bedrock with Artix and devuan(I also wanna try chimera), none of those distros are in there, so am I free to not be a femboy?

No. Put on the maid outfit.
- ok!

What happens if my distro is never mentioned in these run-downs? What does that say about me?

It says that you're unique and special and very very clever, well done :)
- Awwwwww shucks.

Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn't playing nice last time I tried it.

im on arch cuz it respects me

I feel seen. Descriptions were apt.

One category missed though, is oldsters like me who started on slack or yggdrassyl, lived on Debian for a decade, and moved to Mint because, eh, feck it, I don't want to think about configs anymore.

That said, I use mint for my daily, and Debian for anything that does headless work.

What does Mint bring that makes you choose it over Debian on the desktop?
- I dunno... It's wearing a little more makeup I suppose. It has more dumb user things working out of the box, last I checked. Differentiating them has worked well enough for me that I haven't done a deep comparison in many years.

How dare you be so accurate.

I'm currently on Fedora, but likely will be switching to OpenSuse. I've been looking at to stop distro hopping and make a home for myself finally. (I've only been using Linux on and off for the past 13 years.)

Ha, I went the other way. Did like openSUSE but fedora has more resources for a newbie.

Good video :3

:3

I’m on CachyOS. What does that say about me?

You like to play video games and you don't like being a fedora sheep.
That and your the gamer in your group that sets up the servers and manages the mod packs while the rest of your group is on bazzite.

I use Arch Linux (BTW), and it was very accurate. Dont ask me for help. Just RTFM!!

Everyone else: Weird fun quirky fun

Deb and Mint: You boring AF. You want the thing to work? Ugh, just leave.

Wrong. I respect Debian and mint users. I respect them for the same reason I use fedora.

Using NixOS at home and I swear I'm not a furry! At work, I use CachyOS (Arch). My wife is sad that there was no mention of Solus..

Nixos! There are dozens of us.
DevOps/SRE crowd love reproducibility.
- Currently doing embedded and I wish Yocto would be based on Nix and not its own language. But I'm starting to get used to it

First of all:
\ Whoa, I always think these are stupid & random, but this is the first one I actually don't have notes for.
\ Brava.

Second of all:
\ Is that Sexual Lobster in the thumbnail??
\ Never seen that reference in the wild.
\ (Huh, prob just that Sexual Lobster/Greasy Moose (Chris Voigt) & Weebl (Jonti Picking) worked together at Albino Blacksheep)

Third of all:
\ Where are all the Hannah Montana Linux users?

The bazzite call out made me so happy :')

I've used a few of them, but there are also some missing that I used for quite some time.

Debian on the proper PC.

Bazzite on the Deck.

... of course with a Debian environment set up in DistroShelf for when I am spurred to futz with dev work on the Deck.

... I am an apocalypse oriented gamer / dev who hates Windows, by this video.

Uh... yep, yep, no notes really.
