Nyarchlinux is the Linux for you!
https://nyarchlinux.moe/
Honestly I downloaded it as a joke but it’s great
I love that this exists
Username checks out? LOL
Looks fun enough to spin up in a VM at least. :)
Fuck it we ball, I have to know how scuffed it is.
It’s literally arch with some weeb apps pre installed and anime themed
Is this a serious comment? Because I don’t see an /s
I use nyarch, btw
Is this a joke? Because I don't get it and nobody is explaining it to me
They’re recommending a meme-distro in a serious thread without making it clear that it’s a joke.
In this case someone might read their comment and follow their advice, thus ending up with Nyarch as their first distro. In the future, when they run into problems, they’ll have trouble finding support because it doesn’t have a massive knowledge-base or the support of a big community behind it like all the mainstream distros do.
It might be an obvious joke to a Linux user, but a total Linux newbie might get confused or not even recognise it as such. If this comment was posted in /c/linuxmemes or something I wouldn’t say anything, but it is not.
