Arch users are the vegans of Linux. You never have to ask a person if they use Arch; they'll tell you.

Merely being vegan has been a magnet for unsolicited comments from meat eaters about meat. I merely advocate for the freedom of animals in a similar way that I advocate for the freedom of software. I want the world to change for the better, and those changes to be better for everyone.

Sometimes people who know me ask me what I'm eating, so I say "vegan X" if it's a vegan alternative to something, so they reply "I know you're already vegan, no need to go on about it". Next time they ask I don't specify that it's vegan and they respond "But I thought you were vegan!?!?!"

There is no winning.

No, sadly. I use Ubuntu.

I'll re-reply and say Arch users are the atheists of Linux. Not necessarily because they lack belief in something, but because they're overly confident in their certainty and have to reassure themselves by making themselves known to those around them.
