What this picture doesn’t show is that Microsoft HQ isn’t one building. It’s like 1000 buildings. It’s the size of a small city. You can drive for 10 minutes and still be at the Microsoft HQ. It’s insane. They have their own mall, their own soccer field, their own bank branches, and their own shuttle system. The amount of money Microsoft has is truly mind boggling.
Arch isn’t a building, it’s just a pile of the construction materials.
That sounds more like Gentoo. With Arch, you at least get the foundation with plumbing and electrical run to the site.
I use Fedora Kinoite. When I want to rearrange furniture, I build a new house with correct arrangement and use it instead.
Arch is buying furniture, Gentoo is Ikea and LFS is making everything out of plywood yourself.
I am using Arch, btw
Is Arch like the linux version of being Vegan? ie the running joke is people using Arch can’t get through a conversation without mentioning it? I feel like I’ve see basically a carbon copy of this comment on so many posts about Linux I’m wondering if there’s an “in joke” there I am missing, lol.
Yeah, it is a running gag.
But i am really using Arch, btw
Yeah these people are the worst smh…
Don’t look at my instance’s name
I am pretty sure I have to switch to the same instance you’re on.
I think I’m legally required to now.

Nice to meet you and thank for posting this. Just so you know, I run Arch and I enjoy meat, titties and beer.
🤘 😎
With a gigantic Ikea instruction book titled “makefile”
Quaters
Red Hat has multiple large buildings around the world, but that doesn’t fit the meme.
It’s not what the joke is about, it’s about the operating system headquarters not some random company which uses the operating system. Linus Torwalds on his walking desk is the headquarters is literary the Linux headquarters.
IBM*
Yes, IBM is the parent company, but I was specifically talking about Red Hat buildings
They should have building in a shape of hat
Yeah! What color do you think it should be? I’m thinking red.
it’s for the common man, and its relatable.
It’s funny because it’s true.
it is not true and you have pretty strange definition of “funny”i take that back, after an explanation, it is hilarious
Ok I didn’t double check if those buildings really are Microsoft and Apple but that doesn’t make the unexpected contrast to Linus Torwalds on his walking desk less funny.

that is not what i meant
doesn’t make the unexpected contrast to Linus Torwalds on his walking desk less funny
ok, that is truly funny.
the problem is that unless you know that the butt you are looking at the third picture is linus’s, it just looks like some “haha, rich companies and poor linux” joke (which can be pretty easily disproved)
Yeah ok, but it’s not the jokers fault if some of the audience doesn’t get the joke :). The more specific a joke is the more funny it becomes, which - yes - excludes some people.
so, by your definition, the most funny joke in the world is some inside joke between you and your spouse? i don’t think that is how it works ;)
I think it’s a great definition :D
regardless of your definition of funny, if you share such inside joke with general public and then wonder why they don’t understand, that is serious lapse in judgement.
same as when you share a joke that is only understandable to those who have already seen it and received explanation or have seen some obscure 8 years old video. that is badly crafted joke.
Big company bad
You know it’s true because that dev only has one Friggin screen. No wonder multi monitor support is fucked.
“that dev” ? Bruh…
