This is probably an old meme. I use Linux as a dedicated gaming OS, macOS for everything else except when Linux is already booted or nothing is and I want to do something quickly.
It's so old you can see the age on the image itself, lots of artifacting

I kind of really dislike the notion that you only use Linux because you are too poor for Apple.
I don't use Apple because I don't like to be stuck in a walled garden where a company decides what's best for me.
I know it's just a meme, but I think too many people actually think Linux is somehow inferior to Apple (MacOS) while I think it's the other way around.
Also. MacOS is absolute garbage. I've used it for 4 months now, and it pisses me off how inconsistent it is, and poorly designed and written. Two days wasted because of an almost bricked laptop because the monitor was set to 60Hz while installing an update. Just think about that.
I also had the misfortune of booting into windows after changing a motherboard. It was an absolute shit show there too, with broken drivers. Two hours of debugging. Had to use a long ethenet cable to even start fixing it, a flashback to a Linux experience I had in 2007.
Same system in Linux? Not a single second spent. WiFi drivers, microcode. Everything worked fine. Only thing necessary was fixing the grub/mbr partition that Windows decided to write over, on a separate drive. But that's also Microsoft being shit.
People just don't know how much more usable Linux is these days. Especially for power users. You can do so many things, so easily, that either works out of the box, or you can do with simple scripting. The only issue is software availability, but that too is mostly a thing of the past, and not really a fault of the OS.

~~Are you rich?~~
Are you bad with money?
Just because you're bad with money does not mean you can afford an Apple product.
Just because you cant afford an apple product doesn't mean you won't buy one (on credit)

This flowchart is wrong.
If I follow this reasoning, I should be running windows. I am not running windows, Ergo, either it is incorrect or I am incorrect. And I refuse to believe I'm incorrect.

This is Fedora erasure
You can blame IBM for that...
Fedora's still a good distro. I would always recommend it over Ubuntu and Debian for a home user with a bit of technical affinity.

All roads lead to Hannah Montana Linux.
This is a old meme
You can tell because it suggests Linux isn't for gamers but Valve has its own game console that runs on Linux. It'd be pretty stupid if a game console couldn't run games.
You can also tell just by how jpegged the image has become.

I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I've been gaming on Linux for several years, I've really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.

This one didn't age quite as poorly as some of the others. I have gotten to the point of generally preferring Linux gaming now though. Bsd is still a bit lacking for my general computing but opnsense on my router is one of those 'where has this been all my life?' things.

Linux gaming is better than Windows imo. No tracking, random bsod, shit just either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you make it work.

How to tell someone is a Linux gamer?
I am one of the few who once had BSD installed on a laptop, and GOD DAMN do I miss being that weirdo.

How is Fedora not there?
"Does IBM pay your salary?" isn't in the flowchart. :)
