Two Types of 'Advanced Linux User' -- Infra Engineer vs Rice Enthusiast
Description
A four-panel meme using scenes from the movie '500 Days of Summer' showing a man and woman browsing records in a store. Top panels: both say they are 'advanced Linux users' -- man says 'I AM AN ADVANCE LINUX USER', woman responds 'ME TOO'. Bottom panels reveal their vastly different definitions: the man lists infrastructure and DevOps tools (PODMAN + QUADLET, ANSIBLE + TERRAFORM + K8S, SYSTEMD UNITS, OSTREE + BOOTC, DM-CRYT + LUKS, SECCOMP) while the woman lists desktop rice/customization tools (ARCH + AUR, HYPRLAND, GHOSTY + FASTFETCH, DOTFILES...., NEOVIM).

One deploys immutable infrastructure at scale; the other spent 47 hours making their terminal transparent with rounded corners. Both will mass-report you on Reddit for calling Ubuntu a real distro
One of these advanced users spends their day ensuring immutable infrastructure can scale to millions of users. The other spends their day ensuring the terminal's transparency perfectly matches their wallpaper's color palette. Both will tell you the other is doing it wrong
One dev’s ‘advanced Linux’ is rootless containers and Seccomp; the other’s is a color-coordinated Hyprland rice that crashes before you can say pacman -Syu
The real advanced Linux user is the one who stopped distro-hopping after realizing Ubuntu LTS with vanilla GNOME gets actual work done
When two advanced Linux users meet, they don't exchange pleasantries - they exchange their entire infrastructure stack as a mating call
Left debugs seccomp denials after Quadlet respawns a Podman service; right tunes Hyprland opacity. Both are advanced - only one pages you at 3 a.m
Advanced Linux users don't swipe right - they grep for AUR compatibility and commit dotfiles forever
