    If your standard for being an elitist is that people can be bothered saying/knowing their distro’s name then the bar is on the floor and the criticism is worthless. I’m not talking about people who say to their non-linux using friends that they use arch because its simple and recognizable. I’m talking about linux users saying they use arch to other linux users who would know endevour or cachy.

    When you’re troubleshooting packages, or whatever, there’s no functional difference between saying “It’s Arch” and “It’s WhateverTheFuck OS (Arch-based)”

    This is just wrong. Its terrible etiquette to go on the arch forum and ask for help and not mention that you’re on cachyOS? Arch forum etiquette expects users to mention if they used arch install.

    You think people go around telling other what distro they’re using. You are elitist. It’s just an OS, bro.

    You’re trolling, no one can be this dumb. We’re in a community dedicated to an OS talking about people have an OS as their hobby/interest and anyone thats been in this community for more than 5 mins would see that telling other people what distro you use is extremely common. You probably think im an eltist because i dont call this place reddit when someone asks what im browsing.

      If your standard for being an elitist is that people can be bothered saying/knowing their distro’s name then the bar is on the floor and the criticism is worthless.

      Maybe try re-reading what I wrote?

      The standard is “assuming using a specific distro’s name makes them better somehow”, because you think that someone could be ashamed of admitting what distro they’re actually using.

      This is just wrong. Its terrible etiquette to go on the arch forum and ask for help and not mention that you’re on cachyOS?

      Again, re-read what I wrote. I didn’t say “troubleshooting”, I said “troubleshooting packages”. CachyOS uses pacman, and Cachy users install stuff from AUR exactly the same as Arch-Arch users.

      You probably think im an eltist because i dont call this place reddit when someone asks what im browsing.

      If this place used Reddit’s infrastructure, and was essentially a skin with a couple of extensions added on top, and if you were discussing generic social-media themes, yeah, it wouldn’t be a problem to call it Reddit.

      But since Lemmy is none of that, it would make no sense, it’s fundamentally different.
