Nerds don’t fall in that category when talking about OSes.
Is your purpose here only to be contrarian about a topic that, judging by your comments on SteamOS, you know nothing about and understand even less? Just say so and we can collectively ignore you.
Pretty sure I saw this meme half a year ago.
Edit: My bad, I suppose this is the original and the other one is an edit.
This is almost a decade old at this point, I think
