Arch Linus

Any individual who at their own risk and in full awareness of personal liability has damaged their computer (either hardware or software) more times than they have commented "don't poke the bear" above their spaghetti code as a consequence of attempting to manually configure an Arch Linux installation.

Etymologically derived from the operating system Arch Linux and the names of Linus Torvalds and Linus Sebastian - each recognized for developing the Linux kernel and propensity to accidentally f u m b l e pre-production computer hardware more expensive than your car on YouTube videos, respectively.

Being "promoted" to this role typically entails suspension without pay or pending termination of employment.
Bob: what did you do? It's completely FUBAR!

Tim: Yeah I messed up my custom Arch install and accidentally formatted my C:/ drive with my old OS and files still on it.

Bob: Our PM just pinged the Slack - you just got promoted to Arch Linus. Was it your company laptop?

Tim: ( ._. )
