Why is it whenever I look inside a distro, I see one of you three?

Suse: exists
Here's where I'd make a shitty comment if I could remember any german I spent 5 years studying.
Nimm dein Handtuch und fahr zurück nach Deutschland
EDIT: This joke was more offensive than funny, I'm sorry. IDK. I'm leaving it up just so I can be ashamed of it.
NEIN! DAS HANDTUCH HEIẞT, DASS DIE LIEGE RESERVIERT IST!!!11 😡😡😡
Great, not only did my horrid joke get validation based on your hilarious reply, now I'm trying to imagine germans causing problems at open source gatherings with open suse towels
Hehehe, glad to be of help. And now I'll have to look if openSuse towels exist…
I went to susecon in Nuremberg about 10 years ago with my daughter, it was nothing like I expected.
Assert(Expected, actual) ; // ?
Let’s just say my expectations were internet stereotypes and the reality was there was just a bunch of super smart well dressed people giving interesting talks.
They did have a lot of beer though
'Salright, we know you did it in gimp
Fedora and Debian are American, not sure about Arch, LM is for sure not American
Arch is Canadian.
Thanks!
ACH, should have clarified. In my head, not giving money to America is the important thing. Should've articulated that.
Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, which is itself a derivative of Debian
Sure but Canonical is British and LM is French. Debian is the base for about 2/3 of Linux distros so if we’re going to use the base as a metric for what is American we wipe out most of Linux.
I use VanillaOS which is Spanish IIRC but is based on SID I don’t think of it as American
