The Distro-Hopping Relapse Trigger

Description

A six-panel black-and-white comic shows a small person trying to sleep while an exposed brain whispers, "I've heard of a new linux flavor." The person snaps back, "Shut up! I don't distrohop anymore!" but the later panels show them getting increasingly restless and finally glowing-eyed while looking at a phone. A small "t.me/dev_meme" watermark appears near the bottom left. The meme captures the familiar Linux enthusiast loop of declaring a setup stable, then immediately being tempted by one more distribution, desktop environment, or package manager experiment.

  I'm not entirely sure, that's why I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. If they post another one of those, it's bound to be a bot and I can just ban it, but yea.
