One to tell you to use arch. One to tell you arch is not necessary and Ubuntu works great. One to tell you that why not just use Debian, because it's the original pure form of Ubuntu? Then a FreeBSD hacker will come in and tell us about the manual pages. Soemone from a crypt in a dark forest of Germany will come out and ask us our thoughts on Open SUSE.

The macOS user in the back meanwhile has already changed the bulb and is doing other things now.

(fwiw I have appreciation for virtually all operating systems this is just meant to be a joke)



On Apple computers since 2017, there are no user-replaceable bulbs. Bring it in to the Genius Bar where it will either be swapped out under warranty in about 20 minutes, or, if out of warranty, will be handled for slightly less than the price of a new MacBook.

Microsoft users have seventeen thousand lightbulbs to choose from. The free ones come with malware. The cheap ones vary in quality. The expensive ones come with no warrant of functionality, and all of them come with EULAs too long for any two lawyers to decipher identically.


The Slacker will look on forlornly from amongst his binders full of printed out Slackbuilds, and a lonely dot matrix printer.


Yes, but with a mac you need to buy Apple Certified light bulbs, or else you'll be locked out of your house.
