MODERATORS
Seems like a lot of Linux/programming memes basically just stem from a place of real noob insecurity. "I can't figure out how to quit vim!" "CLI is scary!" "Arch users say 'I use arch BTW'!" No offense to the noobs, it's just that, you know, people use this stuff for an actual reason. Yeah, vim requires you to be in normal mode and hit :q or even (gasp) :q! to quit sometimes, it's also a hyperflexible editor that lets you program super powerful functions, macros, do dirt-easy regex replacements, etc. Including binding Ctrl-Q to quit if you really struggle with that.
