I see what you did there
mfw i use nixos
Me and my 9 disembodied heads judging people that don't learn an adhoc functional programming language solely so they can run Linux
Is that your list of profile generations?
Yes :D
Someone should do a meme where each office character is a Linux distro.
"How To Piss Off Two Fandoms At The Same Time"
Oscar would be red hat?
Would Dwight be arch?
If we allow any *nix, I think Stanley should be AIX.
Creed would be Tails.
Dwight would be Artix. Michael would be Arch. Ryan, I think Manjaro, banished to the cupboard. The short-lived "I'm aware of the effect I have on women" manager would be Nix.
Jim is Debian, Pam is Mint, and (guy who was engaged to Pam and I can't remember his name) is Ubuntu.
Judgemental and sanctimonious cat lady might be Guix or GNU/Hurd, always on the others' ass about not being "free" enough. Kevin is either Gentoo or LFS.
And the warehouse staff, who actually get shit done, are the BSDs.
Jim is Red Star Linux:
Pam and her ex fiancΓ© are all Jim's kids?
Your face when it boots after an update
I've only been on Linux about a year. I started with Bazzite and then switched to Garuda. Garuda is Arch based but has always been fast and easy, even with an Nvidia card.
Am I missing something? Arch seems fine.
I'm pretty sure this is a joke about yay ("Yet Another Yogurt - An AUR Helper Written in Go"), when you have it installed you can just type yay into the terminal and update your system including all AUR packages.
That makes total sense. I haven't dipped my toes into AUR, so I'm not surprised I missed it.
You might be using the AUR and don't even know it. The Chaotic AUR repository might be enabled and i think it is enabled by default on garuda.
The chaotic aur is a bunch of pre compiled versions of apps from the AUR. It doesn't have all the AUR packages but it has a bunch.
You can check by looking for [chaotic- aur] in your /etc/pacman.conf file.
grep "\[chaotic-aur]" /etc/pacman.conf
If enabled pacman will handle those packages without the need for an aur helper like yay.
Super helpful info, thanks!
tried garuda as my first distro, i couldn't even get installation to finish, then the one without nvidia included worked but all sound devices were completely missing
People think it's 2016 when arch was a fucking mess and a prone to eat it self if you so much as looked at it wrong.
You will find the general Linux community holds onto stereotypes and common wisdom for decades past when it's relevant, realistic or remotely accurate for a number of really random things. Distro stereotypes are one such example.
I am saddened to announce that I may have to drop my arch based distro due to me being unable to attain a wife. Will revisit once married.
Im using arch to make this post. And I am drinking coffee. I love the coffee!
I use Void Linux with the arch documentation xd
