Linux From Scratch
Nah that's arch linux from scratch is more like
Put some machines next to that and you got Gentoo, though from a different point of view.
I feel like if youβre at that point youβre developing your own kernel (just a hobby project, wonβt be anything big)
Nah' that's when you get into gene editing, or if you're old school just select it over and over again until it fits what you want.
You forgot the Ubuntu socks:
[ Edit: I didn't understand the meme! See comments for context.]
Can we choose to stop having teenage girl manga leg fetish memes associated with Linux? That's my choice because it's not the 90s any more and I'm a middle-aged beardy father of three daughters. This meme is totally seedy and doesn't do any favours for Linux or Open Source.
It's not particularly funny and we can come up with far better memes without making it seem (yet again) like Linux might be mostly for creepy basement-dwelling nerds who haven't met many real women and who aren't creating a welcoming community which truly views women as something more than sex objects.
It's dinosaur-era shit, guys. Please make better memes!
I think the socks thing is more of a reference to trans people (or femboys or however they liked to be called) who like linux
Well in that case it went sailing over my head. I hope you're right! I'm a trans ally (my child is nonbinary) albeit nowhere near up to speed on a lot of stuff particularly memes.
I've lately been helping an older female friend through a shitty breakup where the fact the guy purely objectifies women in a cartoonish porno and pedo sense has been one of many disturbing revelations about what a creepy bastard he has turned out to be.
I guess I saw "disembodied vaguely sexualised teenage girl legs' and just felt grossed out because there are still a bunch of creepy old sexual predators out there and this meme gave me the same ick feeling I've been dealing with, knowing for sure that my teenagers are definitely not too young for a particular 65 year old in our town.
Basically I'm sick and tired of sexually predatory men and I will take them down whenever we encounter each other!
Anyway apologies for not getting the meme... which remains a meme I don't like, but obviously there's more to it than I realised.
It didn't occur to me that the people in the graphic might be women. π
Respecting people is way more important than "getting" a meme, so your head's in the right place, regardless.
I have the opposite reaction when I see these memes. To me it's a reminder of how inclusive some of my favorite nerdy communities are, on top of being a fun little in-joke like any meme should be. And I'm an old beardy middle aged dad too for whatever that's worth.
However, that doesn't mean the image itself is innocent or appropriate for most audiences. I'm not going to be asking the family's opinion on this one, lol. But I don't see it as a manga fetish thing at all. More empowerment than exploitation for the owners of the legs shown.

I like the way this comment assumes the unix socks meme is perpetuated by horny neckbeards, not horny transwomen.
I like the way you assumed I even know what the unix socks meme is. Because somehow I don't beyond... socks and sandals? I dunno. It flew over my head, in this form. 25+ years on Linux. I have no explanation.
The transwomen I'm friends with aren't into Linux or stripey stockings AFAIK.
Whoosh!
To catch you up, transwomen Unix users have taken to posting pictures of their customised desktops while wearing stockings. I'm assuming it's part of their gender affirmation or a desire to share both interests at once.
This meme implies there are standard pairings of oses and stocking types.

Ubuntu
ironically Debian is the straightest OS, it's named after the creator and his girlfriend who became his wife and he had kids with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Murdock
He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[5]
Although obviously, straight people can make things for lesbians/lesbians can use things made by straight people (and they often do!)
EDIT : I missed the obvious joke : Debian > ebian > (L)e(s)bian(s)

damnit, ordered the wrong color socks AGAIN. Wish the arch wiki would have this documented.
Arch comes without socks by default. It's up to you which ones you ~~install~~ buy.

Those legs look weak. What Linux is this?
That's just straight up Unix, the mother of it all.

EndeavourOS. Not the easiest to find.

I'm cool with little bow ties up top. That's a pretty good look for my 6'6 275lbs. very hairy body. I would feel so pretty in them!
