One must understand that the operating system that you use does NOT come up in normal everyday conversation. Nobody cares. If you mention this you’re going to be looked at as the biggest dweeb in a 100 mile radius. Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity. You will be forever shunned in social circles, and will likely never live it down.

So of course you mention Arch first!

I would have thought so. But you’d be surprised how often it can crop up. Somebody wears an old hat or shirt with a logo, or someone complains about a change at work or whatever.

It won’t be often, but I’ve run into OS discussions maybe three times this year, and I’m fairly antisocial.

9/10 it’s going to be someone bitching about win 11, and someone else saying “hey, south uses Linux something-or-other, go ask him.” And then the conversation happens.

That other one time is usually tangential, where I’m talking about writing and the conversation moves to the programs used, which leads to questions about why I use libreoffice, and the fact that I use it on mint as part of explaining my setup.

Now, I don’t use arch, nor do I usually bring it up outside of a few friends that have abandoned windows. But I have run into a few arch users here and there.

What’s that? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my wife’s pussy drying up and she was just sitting next to me while I read that!

Does that include my own pussy too? That would be tragic 😔

Would also like to know. I use Arch everyday and have never noticed any dryness 🤷🏻‍♀️ I talk to my spouse about Arch (he also uses Arch BTW) and can’t say as I have experienced any changes at all. Almost as though my pussy has no fucks to give about what distro I use.

lol, hope you weren’t actually mad over that part of the joke. It was just playing on the trope that it’s mostly men who are into this kind of thing :)

I replied to Snek with a woman’s-version of events (parent comment).

No, for women, every man in the immediate radius will start sending you unsolicited dick pics. So I’m not sure if anything will actually change there…

Except when you mention you use NixOS to your crush who uses gentoo (true story)

Linux

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
