Why am I in this photo?
i'm tagging you as "admitted to wearing mid-calf black socks with sandals and cargo pants at the same time"
Those are not thigh-highs.

Opensuse dysphoria unlocked. But I guess I'm also a debian, arch, and nixos user so it cancels out
Ubuntu:
Ubuntu user here, can confirm
Very snappy.
I use Linux Mint at work and Pop!OS at home. Sorry to disappoint.
For all we know, those could be thigh high socks
LMDE:
Can confirm - LMDE is made for lesbians.
For lesbians, by lesbians, with lesbians.
openSUSE!
more like MINT!
Ubuntu
ironically Debian is the straightest OS, it's named after the creator and his girlfriend who became his wife and he had kids with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Murdock
He named Debian after his then-girlfriend (later wife) Debra Lynn Roundy, and himself.[4] They later married, had three children, and divorced in January 2008.[5]
Although obviously, straight people can make things for lesbians/lesbians can use things made by straight people (and they often do!)
EDIT : I missed the obvious joke : Debian > ebian > (L)e(s)bian(s)
For some reason this made me think of spaghetti, which is straight until it gets hot and wet, and actually, SpaghettiOS would not be a bad name for a distro. Except for trademark issues etc, but still.

Is that real? Can one hypothetically actually get them? If so, where?
[ Edit: I didn't understand the meme! See comments for context.]
Can we choose to stop having teenage girl manga leg fetish memes associated with Linux? That's my choice because it's not the 90s any more and I'm a middle-aged beardy father of three daughters. This meme is totally seedy and doesn't do any favours for Linux or Open Source.
It's not particularly funny and we can come up with far better memes without making it seem (yet again) like Linux might be mostly for creepy basement-dwelling nerds who haven't met many real women and who aren't creating a welcoming community which truly views women as something more than sex objects.
It's dinosaur-era shit, guys. Please make better memes!
I like the way this comment assumes the unix socks meme is perpetuated by horny neckbeards, not horny transwomen.
I have the opposite reaction when I see these memes. To me it's a reminder of how inclusive some of my favorite nerdy communities are, on top of being a fun little in-joke like any meme should be. And I'm an old beardy middle aged dad too for whatever that's worth.
However, that doesn't mean the image itself is innocent or appropriate for most audiences. I'm not going to be asking the family's opinion on this one, lol. But I don't see it as a manga fetish thing at all. More empowerment than exploitation for the owners of the legs shown.
I think the socks thing is more of a reference to trans people (or femboys or however they liked to be called) who like linux

EndeavourOS. Not the easiest to find.
Those legs look weak. What Linux is this?
Gentoo requires you to grow the cotton, process it, and then knit the thigh-highs yourself
Leather socks openSUSE
Also you fine folk wear your disto-wear over or under your Gimp-wear?
