    Yeah, it just comes off sarcastic to me, which apparently means people think Linux is not popular enough to talk about or something. I don’t know, it just rubs me the wrong way.

        I’ll have you know I’m completely serious and not poking fun at myself when I mention I use Arch, BTW!

        I think the year of Linux memes are fun. :D

        You can, but Linux needs good press, and many would see this “joke” as another reason to avoid the whole ecosystem.

      I guess the hope is that a large amount of people will suddenly switch to Linux, maybe because of social media popularity, a breaking windows change, or maybe a popular computer manufacturer shipping only Linux by default.

      But even if that does happen, I would think it would result in an increased adoption rate, not everyone switching to Linux over the course of a year.
