From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But which comes first, vegan or arch?

I guess the meme is “by the way, I use arch.”

So because of that I’d say it should be second.

Clearly vegan, in this case.

that depends on whether you’re a vegan arch user or an arch vegan user

I'm a user arch vegetarian (just kidding, I use Mint)
