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.

It's the meme format:
"Men will literally (something) but not go to therapy"
People who use it don't necessarily endorse the original view, but are making fun of it.
I think their joke was that Thinkpad Arch users (at least online) have a strong correlation with trans women
Exactly this (sent from my Arch Thinkpad as a trans woman)

And the ones who install Arch on a MacBook need extra special therapy.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
☺️i love my arch on my macbookpro from 2009 😂
Was difficult to understand that I have to boot via legacy bios in order for the nvidia grafic to work.. But after installing grub2 via CDrom I had i done ✅ now I can boot any iso from using grub2 and don’t have to relay on CD rom anymore 🥳 Next will be a 2013 MacBookPro (with nvidia as well), as soon as my motor buys her m3 MacBookPro
This reads like a copypasta
just cause they use emojis?
I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

I enjoy this activity too as a non binary person
Wouldn't that be Gentoo?
Therapy is expensive, I'd have to make appointments, leave my home during my free time, talk about myself to someone, and probably won't help because my problems are external. No thanks.
Buying a new laptop and installing an OS is a relatively simple and inexpensive process that is actually rewarding.
Therapy actually often helps with external problems too. If you tried another therapist every time you installed a distro, you might have found one that can solve your problems.
Okay so multiply all the other problems I listed by how many therapists I have to try and no they can't solve my problems unless they're gonna buy me a house or pay off my debts or something so I can actually get ahead financially.

I tried buying a used thinkpad and putting Linux on it, but then it stopped charging correctly after 2 weeks. So I went back on adhd meds and got a new job and turned my life around.
Honestly I thought I was doing good for my technical knowledge by playing with Linux and it has helped but there comes a point where I hit a plateau with that and now I just end up endlessly tweaking and just wasting time on it
By turn your life around you mean bought a new Think pad and put Arch on it, right?
I’m just gonna promote the benefits of therapy. I learned to love myself. I think this meme is about hating yourself, so I think it fits. Only semi-serious, no hate intended.
I think it is more about rage control than about loving or hating oneself. Like stopping yourself from chucking the laptop halfway across the room when it doesn't boot because you misspelled a variable in a config file.
Can confirm
(throw all those neofetches at me)
My right index finger still has an indent from using the clit-mouse to play Starcraft on a Thinkpad 25 years ago.
the aliens watching me for entertainment: oh no, he has installed gentoo and qubes, he is too far gone
Fuck that's relatable I bought one like 4 days ago and it just arrived :'D

I feel like I need to get back into Gentoo just to add a lil spice to the horde of Arch users around here :P
Still gonna use Arch on my laptop, bytheway 😅
woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don't see anything wrong there either.
just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.
or carry them with you when visiting friends.
They might be able to carry you.

What if I do both?
What, doing your therapist and arch installs?
Gonna tell me you're gonna install grass on arch (btw) next.
But I need therapy after installed Arch
Upgrading the ram of my x240 is my therapy
And I'll do it again.
Yes, because not many other things can be considered both a symptom and a cure.
I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.
