No idea who that is, but I'm still leaving an upvote just for the template and beating of kids. >:)

In general and if you don't know the person you're making the recommendation to, agreed. But I know several people I'd definitely recommend (and have recommended) Arch to as the first distro. Even just the installation process is so educational, it's a worthy starting point, after some general youtube videos perhaps. If someone just wants to take Linux for a quick test drive, Arch definitely isn't the way to go.

Although, I'll admit I'm not sure how to describe the type of people I'd recommend it to. If their interest is less practical, and more theoretical. Or if they get really into their hobbies and like to tinker and poke at things to see what happens. Or if they just have an endless curiosity and need to understand. Surprisingly many people I know fall into these categories.

That was pretty much me when I first decided to try installing Arch... at 2am.

This whole "mixed reality experience" thing has me curious: do any of you just add imaginary images to your surroundings in your mind? Just by visualizing?

For example, I have several paintings on my walls that aren't real, but look to me as if they were. I switch them up depending on mood, or just turn them off. Or just basic stuff like having words and numbers floating in front of me as an aid when doing math or planning?

I did always find those bird enthusiasts strange. As a side note, I wonder if there's a conspiracy theory among birds about how humans are actually government surveillance drones...

Recently I've been doing this with studying. "Just one more exercise." I thought that if I stop playing games in the evening, my sleep schedule would get better, but no! At least I'm being more productive, I guess?

Their true legacy will be their fabulous eyebrows which shall be remembered for thousands of years.

When I was done reading the comic, this is exactly the image I had in mind! Good thing I'm not the only pessimist around, I love it.

This gives me very strong Talos Principle vibes. I should try playing the sequel at some point...

I just browse things for fun, mostly. I rarely have anything important to add, so I rarely even comment.

I did try making a few memes, but I don't really have ideas for general memes. I only make memes for specific friends about some very specific thing they or I said or did, and those don't really fit in here.
