From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's the meme format:

"Men will literally (something) but not go to therapy"

People who use it don't necessarily endorse the original view, but are making fun of it.

I think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women

Exactly this (sent from my Arch Thinkpad as a trans woman)

Oh don't worry I know - I was implying that there's a heavy correlation between Thinkpad Arch users and trans girls, at least online. See [email protected]
