As a hardworking IT pro, there are no shortage of tasks to accomplish in the office on a daily basis. But don’t forget to take some time to have a laugh and bond with your coworkers! Sharing humorous IT memes, jokes, and puns is a great way to make lasting memories and strengthen your ties to others in the workplace. 

While there are plenty of excellent IT memes in categories like IT security, ticketing, and even AI. Today, we’re focusing on one specific subset of IT department humor: funny Linux memes. If you’re a Linux user – whether you love or hate the operating system – you’re sure to find relatable content below. 

Top 19 Linux memes that will give you a good chuckle

Linux enthusiasts know that working with the open-source OS can be both challenging and rewarding, and sometimes, a little humor is all you need to get through those tricky moments. Get ready for some laughs—because even the most complex commands deserve a good punchline!

#1: Which OS should we use?

Would you throw someone out the window for suggesting your organization switch over to Linux? Also… we’d love to know who is suggesting “iPad” as an OS. Your CEO, probably. 

#2: The OS that low-memory, old PCs love

Nothing like an old-school Linux operating system to get those juices flowing!

There are a lot of good reasons to choose Linux… and for some, not using Windows is one of them.

Laugh or cry at these Linux users’ memes

It’s all fun and games in the IT department… that is, until you start making fun of Linux users or say you don’t like the IT Crowd. Don’t worry, our Linux user meme collection isn’t too harsh. But be careful who you send these to! Nothing creates a rift between friends like disagreeing on which OS is best.

“Distro” = distribution software, in case you didn’t know. So which one are you choosing? Mint? Ubuntu? Arch Linux? Your choice says a lot about you.

It’s no secret that some Linux users think they are way better than everyone else… These Linux users’ memes prove if nothing else does!

#5: Trying to install something on Linux memes

It’s hard not to tell every single person ever about the topics you’re most passionate about. Don’t worry, we get it. 

You can’t talk about Linux without Ubuntu memes

No, “Ubuntu” isn’t some kind of new-age nonsense word. It’s Linux’s most popular distro. Many believe that it is the most user-friendly option and the easiest distro to effectively get familiar with. In other words, the learning curve is reasonable… unlike some distros out there. But for those of us who are uber-technical, there are many other distros that receive more love. 

#1: Which distro should I choose?

We’ve all been there, breaking a sweat about which distro is the right choice. Often, the best tactic is to turn to other IT pros for advice. One great place to do so? Atera’s online community of users, where you can seek advice, share tips and scripts, and troubleshoot. Check it out today! 

#2: Did you know where the name Ubuntu came from?

What is Ubuntu really?

#3: But then again, some people love Ubuntu…

Image via Discord

All in all, it seems like the majority of Linux memes are basically infighting between stans of different distros out there. 

#4: Wait, what about Gentoo?

Image via Facebook

Nobody panic, we could never forget your favorite Linux distro! Whether you love Ubuntu, Gentoo, or Arch Linux, we’ve got you covered. 

#5: Have we mentioned that nobody can agree on the best Linux distro?

There’s no better way to close out our list of the best Linux memes than with a classic Marvel reference. We love Captain America Civil War… but we could watch Linux users argue about the best distro all day!

Learn what peak efficiency can look like in your IT department

Sharing jokes, memes, and IT puns with your coworkers in your IT department is an amazing way to bond with others about subjects you all can relate to. But be warned… find out everyone’s Linux distro preference before sharing these memes. Unless you don’t mind an all-out philosophical debate about Ubuntu vs. Mint vs. Gentoo, that is. Now that we think about it, that sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon!
