      Even so, why post this and not any one of countless other things?

      Like I feel that you’re missing a clear sign here. Most people would roll their eyes and move on. This is quite possibly the most “leopards ate my face” post in this community and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

        Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to

        and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.

        Lol, it’s being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it’s pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by
