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.

What is this shit
A gen X joke that should have died already.

¿Por qué no los dos?
Vegan when eating, Arch Linuxing when computing, communist when sharing, capitalist when investing, ...
The list knows no end. Why not just say what's appropriate for each particular circumstance?

It depends on what comes up first. If we're talking about diet obviously you have to bring up Arch, and if you're talking about software you gotta bring up veganism
"Actually", I just arch vegans.
What if they're a vegan arch user from Yorkshire?
They'd pick that up fine when you say "Ah use t'arch by t'way, annumavegan". :)
So actually I went to MIT
And what happens if they're a pilot as well???
Depends on whether you installed arch on the plane yet.

And what is, if this vegan arch user rides a fixie?
This might be my favorite meme of the month. There is a problem though. How often do they actually talk to people to end up in this quandary?
I kid. All the love to my vegan arch users. Or arch using vegans. Whichever one you prefer.
Non-vegan Arch user here. Fun meme.
With that out of the way, I tell whichever one best suits the context at hand. Most cases it's neither.
