Tinkering Memes

You know how some people order a pizza and just eat it like normal humans? Linux users disassemble the entire box, rewire the cheese distribution system, replace the crust with a custom-compiled sourdough kernel, and then spend three hours debugging why the pepperoni won't boot. And they'll tell you it's better this way. Because it is. Kind of. Maybe. Depends on your distro. The "btw" in the title is a beautiful reference to the Arch Linux meme where users can't go five minutes without mentioning they use Arch. "I use Arch btw" has become the vegan crossfitter of the programming world—except instead of kale smoothies, it's package managers and tiling window managers.
