Arch Linux. Not as scary as you think.

Yes I'm a nerd. Yes I use Arch Linux. There is a somewhat unfair view that you have to be a programmer to use Linux, and that Arch Linux in particular is very difficult. Yes I happen to be a programmer, and it might be true that Linux may be particularly useful for programmers considering most distros come with a lot of editors and compilers and such. But it really is a really stable and powerful OS for anyone (that's not computer illiterate). If you want to just use your computer without having to thinking about it, you will probably use whatever Windows version your computer came shipped with, and not bother to install anything else. However if you actually want to Learn how to use Linux, Arch is a good choice, because it assumes you know how to use the command line during the install process. In other words the process of installing it forces you learn som basics of Linux (if you don't already know). Still it is not very difficult. You don't have to compile

Linux

Tux is the official mascot of Linux So, if you're really nerds you probably know about this OS, but in case you don't... Linux is an operating system, like Windows, Mac OS, DOS, etc... although technically Linux is just the Kernel (the core of the system), the whole system itself should be called GNU/Linux, since the core system tools is from the GNU-project started in 1984, headed by Richard Stallman. Linux itself started as a hobby project in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, but has since developed in to one of the most robust and beloved OS's out there. It's quite likely you've already used Linux without even knowing it, since it is the most commonly used system for servers. It is also the core of the Android OS. Just like Mac OS X, which is based on BSD, is a Unix like system. As such many administrative tools are the same. If you know how to use the text-terminal in Mac OS X, you will probably feel familiar with the Linux terminal as well. Since everyone

Kemono Friends

I assume most anime enthusiasts already know about this series (otherwise you have surely encountered references to it in form of memes), but just in case you missed it... Kemono Friends is a cutesy anime series that was made with a really low budget, by 10 people, over the course of 500 days. You would expect it to be really crappy under those circumstances, and it is true the animation is rather crude. Furthermore it's 3D, in the same manner as Studio Ghiblis "Ronja, the Robber's Daughter", which is a style I personally really don't like. After getting in to the show though, that really didn't matter. Furthermore, it may seem to have children as it's target audience, but a lot of adults have come to love it as well. The creators of the show, Yaoyorozu, didn't really expect it to gain much popularity either under the circumstances. (Furthermore it was based on a mobile phone game that was defunct even before the anime was released). But to
