I feel like Ubuntu really deserves to get orange, as they use it all over their branding.

As for yellow...hmm. is Yellow Dog Linux still around?

searches

Nope. Ended in 2012.

goes looking

Nothing with an especially yellow logo.

I guess that's why Ubuntu got yellow.

Went from F to D and back to F... then straight to A!

I did use Debian for servers, but it's not a daily driver so doesn't count

I do like seeing NixOS as the terminally unix distro. 100% deserved. Arch doesn't even compare to us

I get that it's memes and all that, but are there a lot of programmer/linux-socks wearing folk? I honestly have no idea.

Also, considering how alive the meme is, it's kinda weird that eg. arch's support-store only sells like stickers and shirts, not a single sock :D

I use both Fedora and Debian. I feel like mid kneecap is a weird height for a sock.

Mint is better than Ubuntu. Ubuntu should be at bottom. Actually, if Oligarchy ever gets on the list, it should be on a skunk scale and we'll put it beside the butthole, and Ubuntu can go on the bottom.

Edit: punctuation

And I can't decide if Mac OSX is flip-flops or crocs... (I mean, it is fully POSIX compliant, or at least was in the past...)

What can I say, some of us just like good music. And apparently medical grade socks.

Linux Mint is solid and very user friendly. Just got my boomer friend switched over a month ago with Libre Office or Open Office and he's happy as fuck.

Just do it. You'll be fine.
