I have read today that Linux users are like vegans of computing.

Linux users in general are vegetarians.

Arch users are the vegans of the Linux world.

I use Arch, btw

> Arch users are the vegans of the Linux world.

Why would Arch be in that position?

I think the joke is about Arch users feeling the need to mention it ("I use Arch, btw"). Vegans have the same reputation, vegetarians don't.

Ah! Got it, thanks.

Have you heard about the Arch Vegan already? The memes kind of write themselves...

Vegetarians for those who use a combination of open source and closed source code and applications

More like flexitarians maybe.

Flexitarians just use whatever works, but they are aware that some of the stuff they use is not proprietary :-).
