Get the Linux Usermug. some wank folktale which linux nerds circlejerk to each other about how the day will come where linux is gonna become mainstream and replace windows as the world's most popular desktop OS.

"you said the same thing for 2023, 2022, 2003, and 1999"

Get the The Year Of The Linux Desktopmug. Defines people who constantly tell others about something they're doing, often without being solicited. Named after Linux users who can't stay one minute without telling everybody that it's better than windows.

Get the The Linux Methodmug. 
A notorious Operating System designed for libertine masochists by being particularly unspecific, often times not containing some of the most basic qol-features out of the box, and requiring extensive knowledge and time-waste for configuring the most simple features and executing the most simple tasks, not yet spoken of the time required for learning how to use the system.
Implemented if one wants to maximize bare workflow efficiency and simplicity on paper for sacrificing valuable time and ease of use.
Most of the crucial applications and addons derive from the work of unpaid volunteers who spend all of their non-existent life developing apps that never even come close to a point of working properly for about 97% leastwise - which is the least to ASK for in a mature, usable system - and most often randomly abandon their work to eternity by realizing that there is other things required for being a grown adult than coding all day on zero-wage.
If beautifully configured, often times used by veterans for flexing their unnecessary skills in configuration which do aid in rendering their OS near to usable but do not aid in using it for productive and proactive work.

Use Linux, it really works.
Linux? I use Arch, btw.
Well, using Linux you would not have this problem.

Get the Linuxmug. This is who you are when you feel like you've developed an entirely new OS (operating system) even though you just made a new distro for Linux OS.
After spending all weekend tweaking settings and packaging my own Linux distro, I felt like I've developed an entirely new OS — even though I'm just a Linux distro maker.
