I watched almost 10 minutes of a youtuber shilling it and my takeaway is “linux for Elon Musk”. The marketing was leaning heavily into “powered by the bedrock of archlinux. Use this and you can have honorary arch cred”. And like, no! As an arch user, I started on ubuntu. It took me years to gain the competencies to be an arch power user. And throughout my learning journey I had the loving embrace of an operating system that didn’t expect me to learn fucking keyboard shortcuts. It ships with a keyboard first tiling window manager, and those are HARSHLY unforgiving. I tried i3 after I’d already moved into my gentoo phase, and I still found it tough and ultimately did not stick with it, realising if I want a keyboard first workflow I can create shortcuts for my stacking window manager and still have the mouse to fall back on. That and its intentional 80s hacker aesthetic just REEKS of I use arch btw elitism. Trash distro. I don’t want ubuntu to stay the face of linux, but I’d rather the title go to an old guard like Fedora, not this poser.

This wants to be the distro you use if you want people to think you’re vewy smart.

Finding out its vibe coded and the creator is an Elon wannabe just reinforces my initial impressions

Hello, 999: I’ve been murdered

Nah. Mint users aren’t babies, they’re the most everyman user. You probably won’t find them on a linuxmemes page because they installed it out of frustration with co-pilot and don’t want to know what an operating system is.

Ubuntu is accurate. Arch is accurate and also how dare you. Fedora is slander. That’s linus torvalds’ distro you’re dissing. Debian… Gonna go out on a limb and say nobody uses debian on a personal machine. If its installed on something its your set it and forget it machine. The webserver that serves your neocities ass looking website. or your company’s email server. Its not for old people, its for old machines. Or machines that plan on growing old.

OH! When a man does it he’s “based” but when I’m too busy contributing to FOSS I’m “frigid”. Rude!
