Fine give me a Pepsi free

Press the power button
This might have actually happened.
When I first got a computer I had to put some OS on it. I’ve heard of this thing called Linux, and found about distributions. BUT, “flavors of Linux” was a terrible description.
I wanted the original.
Just pure Linux, nothing else. No Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, no, just pure Linux and nothing else than Linux.I kept searching for that for quite a while. Kernel? I didn’t even know what a partition was.
Lol yeah I can see how that can be confusing. I was introduced to Ubuntu early as a student through lab PCs, so I just assumed people just said linux, when they meant Ubuntu Linux. Nowadays I use Arch btw
I had a similar but different experience. My first in-person introduction to Linux was Ubuntu via some training for a job. When the class referred to it as Linux, our instructor would tell us “Technically it’s Ubuntu, not Linux” so I thought Ubuntu was an entirely separate OS that I had just never heard of before
Btw! How has your experience with it been!?
I really like it so far. Using it on my laptop as a learning experience. Won’t be the end of the world if I seriously mess it up or something breaks. Got timeshift installed and have all dotfiles backed up with etckeeper and chezmoi. Also have a list of packages backed up, so I’m feeling confident I can readily set it up again from scratch if need be
I still use bazzite on my gaming PC since I need it to just work and just launch my games, but that might change as I get more experienced.
I LOVE the idea of flavours. I always add a bit of Linux mint to my rum distribution for a good Linux mojito.
Makes sense. “Everyone” knows a lot about windows’ jargon and UX due to its prominence in education, work and consumer market (turns out for-profit corpos have a bunch of money to throw around). I wish I knew about Linux when I was much younger :(
Please someone create a BTW fork of Arch. Then people can say “I use Arch BTW BTW”
I’m shocked it hasn’t been done already.
There is a “I use arch btw” programming language though…
Rust?
No, they meant that literally https://esolangs.org/wiki/I_use_Arch_btw
Oh it’s just brainfuck

sudo pacman -S btwto get the btw packagesI’m actually disappointed this isn’t a real package. https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=btw
I know right? I also checked earlier, I was like… at least 40% sure that there probably was some weird niche utility with that acronym, but evidently not :3
There is this one: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/buildbtw/

I’m waiting for the Arch LTS edition.
Wow, I kinda need to update… I’ve been stuck on outdated Arch afaik
It is the transfem version of arch (boy to woman)
Not to be confused with Arch Bitch to Witch.
I use Arch btw btw
Someone should add
-b,-tand-wflags to the Archinstall scriptor --btw
it should install nothing but the least installed package in pacman
Arch is a practical joke played on Linux users that got completely out of hand
I use arch BMW
I don’t use Arch BTW

You need at least 10000000 good boy points for that one.
