    Eh… I get the joke, but using Arch is about loving computing. All the other OSes have removed the human element of computing. Arch still lets you control and administer your computer, which is good fun for weirdos like me.

      Wait. Am I not allowed to mess with stuff, use the terminal, compile, and all those things in Mint!?

      Call the manager. I want my money back!

        Of course you can. But in Arch you must do a lot of things that are optional in other distros, and you install your packages explicitly, only including what you want.

          Must isn’t better that can - to have choice taken away from your, there’s always Windows or, even better, MacOS.

            Meh, Arch users like it. Plus not having stuff you don’t want or don’t use on your OS makes it snappier and easier to update and maintain.

              And as a bonus, if you don’t install support for something and have no idea it exists, you can be continually amazed that nobody has invented it yet.

                  Someone should invent drain holes for that situation.

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.
