  • i-use-arch-btw

    "I use Arch btw" but it's a Turing-complete programming language.

    • Community: A high proportion of its community contribute because its community is smaller and not backed by a corporation. With this dedication, the difficulty of getting Arch set up, the glorious Arch Wiki, and the payoff of having bleeding edge software, people tend to take pride in using Arch, to the point where we'll freak out if we don't say "I use Arch, btw" or something similar in every comment and post so everyone knows how great we are (sarcasm). Others have recognized this tendency to the point where it's become a meme.
