Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.
So far it’s very good.
Get off my lawn

The ultra neckbeard has a SUSE logo, there’s no gentoo in the pic
I use OpenSuse, Fedora, and Arch.
This meme is too accurate
The combination of those three people in the meme would be… Interesting
distro memes should be updated for 2026. i.e. with cachy,bazzite,steamos.
Yeah. Surprisingly cachyos had the largest userbase om steam after steamos
I think this is a better representation of Debian (the beard is important). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ken_Thompson,_2019.jpg
Debian user. Yes.
Same. I feel accurately portrayed.
What about bazzite?
Furry.
(It’s me I use Bazzite)
I consider Bazzite fedora but that changes nothing to what you said
Gentoo gang where?
They were still trying to piece together the camera.
In a cave with a box of scraps and a thousand yard stare.
Feels like maybe that represents SUSE but…not OpenSUSE. Tumbleweed is legit and the community is super chill and dope.
~yeah I feel personally attacked lmao~
more than I want to admit…
Linux user for 25+ years here. I’ve tried 'em all. These days I just use Mint.
I’m in an organization that helps people install Linux on their devices, and we collectively decided to install Linux Mint. I never used it myself, and to me, the distribution doesn’t matter too much.
However, I was negatively surprised that Linux Mint decided to mix closed-source proprietary software together with open-source software: http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php?release=alfa§ion=import&keyword=
They also advertise them in top positions on their package installers, which also doesn’t show the packages licenses anywhere. To me advertising them and mixing them like they are the same is bad… They also don’t offer ways to filter them out… So… while I still install LM for others, I’m not a fan…
Being too purist about the openness of a distribution is a big reason Linux has taken so long to gain foothold on PCs.
On the other hand, being purist about openness is why GNU exists in the first place.
So there are different Distros with different philosophies, that people with different preferences can find what tgey are looking for.
Yep, been on Linux for 10 or 12 years now, I honestly can’t remember. Distro hopped at first, then I found Mint and never saw a need to change.
Same conclusion for me. Been using Linux for years, Mint is the only distro I’ve used that #JustWorks in my experience.
I use LMDE as my personal laptop, it’s rock stable.
What’s the difference between LMDE and running Cinnamon on Debian?
LMDE tries to give you the Mint experience on a Debian base. It’s Debian for people who like Mint, I guess.
Probably why you can sleep like a baby.
I have yet to encounter a use case where I would need anything other than Mint.
Same here, except on servers, where I prefer debian.
Because I’m old and tired, and I just want to install and be up and running in as short of a time as possible without dicking around.
After 20 plus years of Linux I also really love using mint on any machine with a screen. My servers are all Debian based but my desktop and laptop are mint it just works
Also, not sure how using arch is equal to the picture, not sure if that’s supposed to be a trans girl, an e girl, or something else. Using arch is more like a mechanic with a car that breaks down every time they change anything.
So Linux Mint Debian Edition would just be a middle-aged person?
Linux Mint as the baby makes no sense. That would actually be CachyOS or MX Linux at this point.
edit
I didn’t interpret the age of the people matching the user of the distro. I matched the person in the graphic as the perceived maturity of the project itself… not the user. This is why I say to me Linux Mint doesn’t make sense as the baby… MX Linux and CachyOS have been adopted more recently than before.
Nah it’s still Mint imo. Cachy is close but I think that it being Arch requires a little more maintenance
Maybe zorin OS. I think that mint is still popular with new Linux users though.
Don’t forget the Gentoo crowd
Genuine question: is that cloak yours and how did you make it?
I resen… Shit he even has a DrPepper. I guess I need to wash my cloak.
I am sorry, but that notebook is way too modern for a proper Gentoo user. Anything above 500MHz is wasted energy with useless kernel flags
He has to use a separate mouse! A mouse!! Never seen a mouse user in the tiling wm world.
If it compiles too fast, you don’t have time to properly savour it.
That’s a badass
capecloak.Right! I want one.
We really need to bring back cloak-wearing…
+1 for Dr Pepper
-1 for non Lenovo machineNow that we can game, we need the horsepower.
The total is zero, the Force is in balance. All is well
Hoodie, MX Master and Gentoo, that’s literally my old stack, except it was a desktop not laptop.
