I think we NixOS users get grouped in with Arch. Same socks, different colors.
As a Linux Mint Debian Edition user. I guess I'm just Benjamin Button.
It's lonely out there being an arch user and a butch dyke π
Yeah, well I'm a Mint baby. I have to rely on the Debian users to take me to a Mint baby playdate.
It's upsetting. Maybe I'll go cry about it...
Me, running CachyOS, and eschewing the socks:
Give it time...
Yup, as a Debian user I feel this old and the only person I personally know, who have transitioned is an Arch user.
I just switched to debian after the last AUR issues.
I went from Ubuntu to Bazzite (OpenSUSE was my first choice, but there was a weird error trying to get it running and installed). Since Bazzite is basically Fedora... Should I get myself a hat?
Arch is what i want to be, openSuse is who i am.
Debian user here. I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update. How do u folks deal with that?
It isn't an issue. I just left Arch because the AUR seems to be imploding. And without it Arch looses one of its big advantages.
I update weekly ish and very rarely have issues. And if I do it's the usual suspects hyprland, pw, proton and video drivers.
You can either lock these and make them not update as frequently or use more stable software instead.
I personally like the troubleshooting because it means I'm learning something so that helps.
Can confirm. I'm an Ubuntu child and soon going to become a Debian old man.
Can confirm, am baby.
Fedora users
Hey, how did you take a picture of me π€¨
I can confirm I feel as old as the debian pic.
Why is everyone always saying I am old and boring. I am not on Slackware????
Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.
So far it's very good.
Get off my lawn
What does LXTq get me?
Does being a Linux Mint Debian Edition user make me middle-aged?
No, an old person in diapers
Not very.
Especially for suse. Huh?
Yeah OpenSuSE should just be a tumbleweed picture. Aren't we all tumbleweeds at heart?
distro memes should be updated for 2026. i.e. with cachy,bazzite,steamos.
sparkling arch, sparkling fedora, and diet arch
Yeah. Surprisingly cachyos had the largest userbase om steam after steamos
Cachyos is Arch for people who want to use their computers
Arch is for people who yearn to control the parasympathetic nervous system with iron chains
The funny thing is I though Arch would be lighter but after trying debian it isn't.
Using steam statistics is going to bias your data toward gaming-oriented distros.
Cachy is pretty good and just works for a lot of stuff
