IDK if it’s a thing elsewhere but it’s been a running joke on Reddit and Lemmy for years mostly because Arch was the more popular, bare bones distro, i.e. you had to set it up yourself without a guided installer like Mint or Ubuntu, so was used as a signal to be like “I know what I’m talking about”.

I know this one: It came from the Arch users. No, really, they couldn’t just help to not tell anyone. It’s not just a stereotype, it was really that common.

Now why they couldn’t help, is guessing, but I guess it is the first distribution, that people take pride in to install, after they tried Ubuntu.

Arch was the “elite” distro. Most people who weren’t already very comfortable with the terminal were even able to use arch properly. Stuff like archinstall didn’t exist back then and those that did were way inferior than what we have today. So using arch was like a “badge of honor” of sorts for many people who thought using it made them superior to disgusting ubuntu or mint users with their GUI installer.

It’s just classic gatekeeping that you’ll see in basically everything that comes with a passionate community.

I use Gentoo. I very much warn you against using Gentoo.

I use the red swirl too btw

Just do it ironically and talk about what an old geezer you are

You have to get rid of the cards

Winning the game is accomplished by playing all your cards and being the first to run out of cards. You play a card by putting one down that matches the last card played by either color or number. There’s other special cards too, like draw x cards, reverse direction, wild cards, etc.
