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.

Why is YouTube so TOXIC?? 🤔
see? I did the clickbaity thing too
Where's the Mr. Beast 😲 face, Elon musk, 5 red circles and 30 red arrows + explosion?
(makes a reply video of your video, I add THIS and point up at your face)
So I'm an Arch user since 2013 and I don't think I'm toxic. I am not really offended by this post but a bit worried. Why this hate against Arch (users)? I use Arch, btw is a meme that may has some truth, but like every good meme it is exaggerated. Arch users may have some pride in tunning Arch but most of the time they're (in my expierence) helpful and inclusive. The OS itself fits right to my expectations: community driven, pragmatic, highly customizable. And I think the community is doing a lot for the overall Linux community with the Arch Wiki and for the Arch-based family with the AUR.
Edit: I didn't seek help in the Arch fotum myself but read some threads there. Haven't encountered any bm there.
Imagine giving a shit about what strangers use on their own computers
Cringe lmao
meh... I have met a few true arch a-holes, however the arch wiki is a supremely useful info repository, so I generally give them a pass for their particular form of brain damage and hope the do the same for mine. as long as the arch wiki remains available, its a net wash. :-)
To be honest, a-holes are in every community. In about 30 years on internet I never find a community without some of them
I'm trying to figure out what demographic would be downvoting this to hell. Arch users getting triggered by a clickbait title? Arch haters trying to cope with a somewhat charitable take on arch users? Or are we all just downvoting for the meme?
I downvote because he asked how many he can get. Otherwise, I'm neutral to it, as I'm not gonna watch a video in public rn.
Also, I use Arch btw
Nobody watched the video and the down arrow is there for when you disagree, simple as.
I am happy to help you with your experiment, toxic though it is.
