    Arch, a community-driven distro that hostorically required heavy use of the terminal to even install. It presents itself as very sleek and utilitarian (hence plain black girl). Arch users tend toward enthusiasts also commonly in the anime, furry etc. fandoms. Wearers of “Programming socks” almost certainly use arch (hence rainbow girl).

    Ubuntu was historically marketed as the distro for everyone. Ready out of the box, polished GUI, media codecs, marketing materials made by someone who got paid to do them (hence rainbow girl). Ubuntu these days is an exceedingly corporate distro, Canonical really wants to be Microsoft. Ubuntu is very commonly used on servers for commercial and enterprise solutions and end-user desktops are vestigial at this point (hence plain black girl).
