Get the Linus mug.Arch Linux (or Arch) is a great Linux distribution intended to be lightweight and simple. The design approach of the development team focuses on simplicity, elegance, code correctness and minimalism.
It is binary-based, unlike source-based distros (see gentoo, which is used by l33t hax0rs who think that compiling everything for a 1% performance gain is worth their time).
It is loved among knowledgeable linux users for features such as the 'pacman' package manager and the AUR (Arch User-Community Repository) which contains PKGBUILD scripts which simplify building packages not in the main repositories from source.

Arch User: What's up, gentoo user? I just finished installing Arch Linux, it took about 20 minutes.
Gentoo User: I'm just recompiling my kernel for an estimated 1% performance increase on this AMD K6. I expect it to be done in about 2 weeks. I can't wait!

Most of the definitions on here that criticize microsoft and apple products are by linux fanboys. Linux fanboys are people who think microsoft is evil and steal data, even though their "evidence" is really just a bunch of mumbo jumbo.

Get the Linux Fanboys mug.A computer geek whose brain is totally devoured by the Linux operating system. Sleeps in a server room, feeds on beer and cramps extracted from the keyboard, wears a shapeless checkered shirt and old stained jeans, never shaves or visits a hairdresser.
The best alarm clock for a linuxoid is
"at 07:00 >mplayer -playlist 123.m3u".
You wake up at 6:58 wondering why it doesn't play and run to the computer to check if there are any bugs

Get the linuxoid mug.NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM!!!!!!!!
Linux is a KERNEL, NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM started by Linus Torvalds in 1991 at University of Helsinki in Finland. Linux was at first just a hobby for Linus. Linux is free software.
It just so happened that just when Linux was getting usable, GNU had everything it needed except a kernel. Thus, people started using Linux with GNU to make a completely free UNIX-like operating system called GNU/Linux.
Today Linux and GNU/Linux have come a long way from the early 1990's, although they're still mostly used by geeks.
