I have limited experience here, but can confirm that being a sleeping baby is quite pleasant.

I can confirm I feel as old as the debian pic.
Why is everyone always saying I am old and boring. I am not on Slackware????
Ha, I WISH mint was accurate. Then I could be in bed asleep.
It's lonely out there being an arch user and a butch dyke π
Yeah, well I'm a Mint baby. I have to rely on the Debian users to take me to a Mint baby playdate.
It's upsetting. Maybe I'll go cry about it...
I sleep as cozy as a baby in a cable knit onesie with Mint on my computers. Looks pretty accurate.
ππππ I wish my legs looked that good in stripey leggings...but sadly they do not

Yup, as a Debian user I feel this old and the only person I personally know, who have transitioned is an Arch user.

Can confirm. Run OpenSUSE and my neckfolds run for days.
Where NixOS?
debian 16 estradiol
I look similar to RMS and I use Arch (btw). Whatever is going on in the picture requires more fashion sense than I've got.
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.
Mint user and the image is perfect. This is because Mint allows me to rest like a baby that has all their needs met, free from anxiety.

Linux mint user here, I'm using it because I can't be bothered to spend my precious few spare time on fixing things my OS decided to break. I want something that just works, and mint fits the bill, and comes out of the box with most of the things set up how I like.
