Person who clearly really cares: "No one cares that you do thing"
- He has probably seen countless people starting to use linux and is pissed by the percieved popularity.
  
  Nah, it's just annoying seeing it in SO many conversations. It doesn't add anything to the conversation, it's just some weird bragging.
- No, not really?
  In this case it's a response to a pretty obnoxious comment. You could argue that the comment op is acting like an apple fan, ms fan or any kind of thing fan that enters a conversation.
  It can't be answered in this context, cause there is no context in the post.

What do you mean superior complex? I am superior

Imagine internalizing Microsoft/Apple abuse so deeply that you get angry at ppl who don't want any of that shit
- Yeah, I've actually been looking into trying Linux as my entire personality as well
  
  Seems like they get allllllll the babes, amirite?
  👈🏻😎👉🏻
  
  wdym? or rather what are you referring to? (sry am a bit dense sometimes)
  like as long as you are not the "basement-dwelling (arch) elitist" stereotype, advocating for free/libre software is pretty cool imo
  (also did you just say Linux when referring to desktop? insert "actually what are you referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux" copypasta here /j)
  
  I had someone tell me that I was doing exactly that this weekend when I wrote a forum post and feedback submit to the company I buy my keycaps from for a 1.5u Tux or Logo key option rather than the windows 10 logo they currently offer.
  I figure they'll offer at least their logo as that'd sell really well (glorious, look em up for why), but having someone reply that I needed to not make Linux my whole life was weird

Windrones coping is always fun to see
- Not sure it's cope as much as being unable to accept that their attempted put down is having no effect. Bully is in their own head about their inability to get under someone's skin.
  A raging douche.
  
  You basically explained that it is coping?
- It's their insecurities dripping through because they deem themselves power users and learn that they don't actually know shit so they usually very ignorantly and incorrectly put it down. It's a hard pill to swallow when they realize they are just LTT gamer bro Windows users that struggle to use something my grandma runs.

Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying "I use Arch btw" is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the "Linux user" commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.
I use(d) Arch, btw.
- I don't know, I think it was pretty fun trolling after someone coming to say something as dull as "you want a medal or something"
  
  Sure. But the original statement is just as dull. Assuming no specific context.
- I (can't figure out if I'm) us(ing th)e( correct drivers on) Arch, btw.
- My comment is still being compiled
  
  Ah, a Gentoo user.
- I don't use Arch btw.
  
  I use Arch-imedes btw. (Ngl this should be a new Linux distro)

My school wifi is blocking this instance :(
- Here's the post image!
  
  It's my own post, but thanks!

I-it's not like I CARE you use a geeky operating system. Dummy.

Ohhhh I am sooo impressed! Have you also downloaded the classified instruction manual for Linux from Linus Torvald's website, took a correspondence course in machine code, translated the manual, memorized it, and eaten it? Have you Danfg7215? Torvald?

I don’t need to feel superior I already know I am
