System configuration Memes

You know those ominous comments in config files that say "DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE" or "TOUCH THIS AND YOU'RE FIRED"? Yeah, Linux treats those the same way Sabrina Carpenter treats paparazzi—complete and utter disregard. You can scream warnings all you want, but when push comes to shove, that config file is getting modified at 2 AM because something broke and StackOverflow said to change it. The Tux penguin just sits there with that smug expression, knowing full well it's about to watch you destroy your entire system configuration while ignoring every single warning comment left by the previous sysadmin who quit three years ago. Pro tip: those warnings exist because someone before you learned the hard way. But you'll ignore them too, because we all do.

Someone opened a GitHub issue for Arch Linux's installer with the title "I lost my virginity and now Arch won't boot #4269" and honestly, that's the most Arch Linux thing ever. The distro is so notoriously finicky that even the slightest change to your system—apparently including life milestones—can break your boot sequence. The fact that there are 169 open issues just confirms what we all suspected: using Arch is basically volunteering for a part-time job as your own IT department.

OMG, the TRAUMA of watching someone install Arch Linux! 😱 You might as well ask me to sit through a 12-hour documentary on paint drying! Arch installation is basically a relationship TEST - if you can survive watching your partner type 500 commands, manually configure every single system component, and troubleshoot cryptic error messages that might as well be written in ancient Sumerian, you're basically ready for marriage. The sheer AUDACITY of asking someone to witness this digital self-flagellation! No wonder she's running for the hills! Even Linux enthusiasts draw the line somewhere, and apparently it's at "watching someone else's Arch installation nightmare unfold in real-time." Hard pass! 💅
