I think more people know about Arch from it being mentioned than who actually use it. Actually I think more people know about Arch from the meme of an Arch user mentioning it than who have mentioned using it.

I learned about Arch from memes.

I run CinnaMint.

I'm attempting to normalize "CinnaMint" over "Mint Cinnamon"

Windows 10 is increasingly encouraging me to recommend other operating systems to friends and colleagues

“I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.”

should have recommended Linux to them.

i used to recommend linux to people. but that also meant that i became their tech support person.

i no longer advise anyone to use anything. i just want them to not ask me to troubleshoot their stuff.

That's very relatable, those weird Linux users always try to recommend operating systems to me, and Windows users never do because Windows isn't a good operating system, so that's why they wouldn't.

Anyway, on the topic of operating systems, I find that FreeBSD works the best for my computing habits. I recommend you give it a try if you use a different operating system today.

Reported this. It feels like a personal attack
