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.

It’s cute. Thanks for posting.
I’m on Slackware because what I’ve used since 2002.
And still haven’t updated*
Yeah, I guess Slackware 15.0 came out in 2002. So did 11.2.0, apparently. And whatever KDE it has (I use Sawfish on it so I have no idea, heh).
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?
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!
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?
I think you’re confusing it with Manjaro, which has had several.
Not that I’d heard of. I did some searching and found a lot of mentions of an incident in 2016 where their server got hacked and uploaded compromised .isos for Cinnamon, but supposedly that was quickly fixed. And either way was a decade ago
Mint looks nice, maybe in a few years when I decide to build my next one.
Honestly very accurate. In fact, I only use Arch because Void wasn’t playing nice last time I tried it.
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.
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.
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.
