I think we’re years past the point where the frequency of memes about people saying “I use arch btw” has exceeded people actually saying “I use arch btw” by a wide margin. At this point I’m just waiting for this one to die.
I use Arch btw was always a meme , literally no one ever said it unironically.
There was definitely a time when many folks regularly mentioned using Arch. It did have some novelty when it was new to newish. I was probably one of them.
maybe do a google search before attacking people on the internet … or don’t, I’m not your manager.
On November 16th, Redditor[4] SusuKacangSoya commented a possible explanation of the meme’s origin, writing, “Someone gave the following narrative: That when Arch was new, it was distrusted by the rest of the community because of some stability, etc. issues. However, as it got more and more usable, Arch users began telling everyone else that they were using Arch, to bring more awareness about Arch and prove that it’s usable (they were using it just fine, after all). With this strategy released onto the wild, rolling across the community, Arch’s usage share quickly went from laughable to that of major distribution. Of course, with the end goal completed, the meme is supposed to be obsolete, but… it stuck, its original purpose lost to time.”

Oh, sounds similar with Nix nowadays
Tell me you don’t know the origin of the meme without telling me you don’t know the origin of the meme.
how do you know if someone is a vegan…
it’s literally a meme template for insufferable people to say “I’m x btw” and those same people don’t actually say it, it’s a fucking jab at them.
