I can confirm I feel as old as the debian pic.
Does being a Linux Mint Debian Edition user make me middle-aged?
No, an old person in diapers
Weird. Just turned 47 and I JUST tried Debian tonight.
So far it’s very good.
Get off my lawn
Fedora users
I think this is a better representation of Debian (the beard is important). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ken_Thompson,_2019.jpg
I use OpenSuse, Fedora, and Arch.
This meme is too accurate
The combination of those three people in the meme would be… Interesting
Zorin?

The ultra neckbeard has a SUSE logo, there’s no gentoo in the pic
It’s still compiling
distro memes should be updated for 2026. i.e. with cachy,bazzite,steamos.
sparkling arch, sparkling fedora, and diet arch
Yeah. Surprisingly cachyos had the largest userbase om steam after steamos
Cachy is pretty good and just works for a lot of stuff
Debian user. Yes.
Same. I feel accurately portrayed.
Feels like maybe that represents SUSE but…not OpenSUSE. Tumbleweed is legit and the community is super chill and dope.
~yeah I feel personally attacked lmao~
What about bazzite?
Furry.
(It’s me I use Bazzite)
I consider Bazzite fedora but that changes nothing to what you said
Gentoo gang where?
They were still trying to piece together the camera.
In a cave with a box of scraps and a thousand yard stare.
Linux user for 25+ years here. I’ve tried 'em all. These days I just use Mint.
Yep, been on Linux for 10 or 12 years now, I honestly can’t remember. Distro hopped at first, then I found Mint and never saw a need to change.
Same conclusion for me. Been using Linux for years, Mint is the only distro I’ve used that #JustWorks in my experience.
I use LMDE as my personal laptop, it’s rock stable.
What’s the difference between LMDE and running Cinnamon on Debian?
LMDE tries to give you the Mint experience on a Debian base. It’s Debian for people who like Mint, I guess.
I’m in an organization that helps people install Linux on their devices, and we collectively decided to install Linux Mint. I never used it myself, and to me, the distribution doesn’t matter too much.
However, I was negatively surprised that Linux Mint decided to mix closed-source proprietary software together with open-source software: http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.php?release=alfa§ion=import&keyword=
They also advertise them in top positions on their package installers, which also doesn’t show the packages licenses anywhere. To me advertising them and mixing them like they are the same is bad… They also don’t offer ways to filter them out… So… while I still install LM for others, I’m not a fan…
Being too purist about the openness of a distribution is a big reason Linux has taken so long to gain foothold on PCs.
I don’t care if a Linux distribution offers proprietary applications or not. I just want to be able to filter it out, and that they offer open alternatives first.
I’m not a purist, I want people to be informed users, not just sheep that get fed whatever corporations want them to eat. If they still choose to use closed source software, then that is fine.
On the other hand, being purist about openness is why GNU exists in the first place.
So there are different Distros with different philosophies, that people with different preferences can find what tgey are looking for.
Probably why you can sleep like a baby.
I have yet to encounter a use case where I would need anything other than Mint.
Same here, except on servers, where I prefer debian.
Because I’m old and tired, and I just want to install and be up and running in as short of a time as possible without dicking around.
After 20 plus years of Linux I also really love using mint on any machine with a screen. My servers are all Debian based but my desktop and laptop are mint it just works
Also, not sure how using arch is equal to the picture, not sure if that’s supposed to be a trans girl, an e girl, or something else. Using arch is more like a mechanic with a car that breaks down every time they change anything.
So Linux Mint Debian Edition would just be a middle-aged person?
