I still don't understand the Linux memes.

  1. Meme about how hard it is to maintain a Linux machine.
  2. Meme about how Windows is the worst for your machine.
  3. Meme about how gullable new Linux users are to bad advice from experiwnced Linux users.

It's like squirting lemon in your eye is the point, and if you don't do it you're one of them. Maybe I'm just not bitter enough in life to get it.

Edit: Oh...

  1. Meme about Linux dominating a niche developer thing that most developers wouldn't notice, let alone the end user.

to be fair the 3 first points only apply to arch, the same people to say "i use arch btw" so you know they also hate themselfs

edit: 50% of devs use linux so the 4th point isn't that true

Obligatory "I use Arch, btw" comment. I've been using Arch for years and, honestly, it isn't that much of a pain. It mostly works with the defaults, installation is really easy now with archinstall, and there's a ton of software ready to install from the repos or the AUR. Besides, the arch wiki is amazing and has solutions for many of the problems you'll ever have.
