Why are so many Arch Linux users gay? Does pacman turn the neets into gays or does it have features that attract the gay community?

Wait, why facts and logic is against OP's obsessive made up story? WTF we do now??

"Operating systems (OS) like Windows, macOS, and Linux are software platforms and do not inherently target or market themselves to specific demographic groups such as the LGBTQ+ community. They also do not officially collect or publish data on users’ sexual orientation, so there is no reliable way to determine which OS has the “most gay users” in absolute numbers.

That said, we can consider a few contextual factors:

1. **Market Share**:
- **Windows** has the largest global user base by far (over 70% desktop market share), so statistically, it likely has the highest number of LGBTQ+ users simply due to its widespread adoption.
- **macOS** has a smaller but significant user base, especially in urban and creative communities where LGBTQ+ populations may be more visible or concentrated.
- **Linux** has a much smaller desktop user base (<5%) and is primarily used by developers, IT professionals, and enthusiasts.

2. **Corporate Stance & Support**:
- **Apple (macOS)** has a long-standing public reputation for LGBTQ+ advocacy—participating in Pride events, offering Pride-themed merch (like watch bands), and emphasizing inclusivity in marketing and product design.
- **Microsoft (Windows)** also actively supports LGBTQ+ initiatives, including internal employee resource groups, public Pride campaigns, and inclusive policies.
- **Linux** is open-source and community-driven; there is no single corporate entity behind it, so there’s no “official” stance or branded support. However, many open-source communities are LGBTQ+-inclusive."

"3. **Official Services, Merch, and Websites**:
Neither OS offers “LGBTQ+-exclusive” services or websites. However, both Apple and Microsoft feature LGBTQ+ content during Pride Month (e.g., curated app store collections, special wallpapers, or promotional campaigns). Apple often releases limited-edition Pride merchandise tied to its ecosystem (e.g., bands for Apple Watch), which is more visible than anything Microsoft offers.

4. **User Perception & Culture**:
macOS is sometimes perceived as more popular in creative and urban environments where LGBTQ+ communities are more visible, but this is anecdotal and not data-driven.

**Conclusion**:
- **Most LGBTQ+ users (by count)**: Likely **Windows**, due to its massive overall user base.
- **Most visible official LGBTQ+ support and branding**: **macOS (Apple)**.
- **Linux**: Has inclusive communities but no centralized official support or marketing.

So while no OS is “designed for” or “owned by” the gay community, Apple stands out for consistent, visible corporate LGBTQ+ advocacy, while Windows likely has the largest absolute number of LGBTQ+ users."

He's a sex worker so maybe, but also a schizo so your post reminded me of him.

Linux is for autists
And autists are statistically more likely to be gay.

He didn't need to state the gay part.
