    Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying “I use Arch btw” is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
    The saving grace for the “Linux user” commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.

    I use(d) Arch, btw.

      I don’t know, I think it was pretty fun trolling after someone coming to say something as dull as “you want a medal or something”

          Made sense after watching the video the comment was made on(if it really is the right video)

            I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting “No thanks, I’m a vegan” on it. Then why did you open this video?!

      Not sure it’s cope as much as being unable to accept that their attempted put down is having no effect. Bully is in their own head about their inability to get under someone’s skin.

      A raging douche.

          cope /kōp/

          intransitive verb

          1. To contend or strive, especially on even terms or with success.

            “coping with child-rearing and a full-time job.”

          2. To contend with difficulties and act to overcome them.

          3. To form a cope or arch; to bend or arch; to bow.


          As a foreigner it’s really jarring seeing this verb adopting a new meaning of “failing to cope”. I’ve seen it many times, it’s definitely not you and not new, but it does make the English language just a tad more inaccessible.
