Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Oh, Debian a debian the debian debian Debian Debianing over debian debian to very Debian debian. Only Debian is debian to debian enough for debian. Debian is debian though. Debian...
I can upvote this one in spirit. I started with a distro based on Slackware around 1998. I tried different ones like Mandrake, but went back to Slackware for a while. Then I tried Debian 2.2 in the early 2000 and stayed with it ever since.
I do have other distros installed on other computers, but I usually prefer those based on Debian.
I presume anyone old enough to start with slackware without auto dependency management and then use apt had a similar experience. I did :)
Apt blew my mind. It was becoming increasingly difficult to install and maintain a lot of software on Slackware, just for my personal computer. So when a friend showed me Debian and apt, everything was suddenly much much easier.
Honestly, fair.
My only issue with it is the conflicting answers you get with apt vs apt-get vs whatever the 3rd option is, and the 6 different valid commands for upgrading your system, that also have conflicting answers on which is 'correct'.
That, and yay -Sy is way more fun to type, and shorter.
if we're talking about fun commands, my aliases for adding/removing packages are gimme/yeet.
‘Tis better to yeet than be yoted.
I installed Fedora Core 1 back when it was released around 2000. I'm currently running Fedora 44.
