2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo in Windows.
- No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

Does this graph mean what it is supposed to mean for the joke to work? The black line means I learn much quicker with less time investment, i.e. it is easier than all the others.
No it means that it requires much more skill earlier in the progression.
That is a common misunderstanding of how learning curves work. A steep learning curve means your skill increases more rapidly with the invested time. That means the subject is easier or more intuitive.
'If you change the axis then it makes sense' is not a great argument ๐ but it does not matter, it is just a joke after all, so let's not argue. Have a nice day y'all!
Huh? I thought the original chart means I get more gaming skill from playing EVE than from playing WoW - which totally makes sense
It is clearly meant to be graphing the difficulty of the game VS time played. The graph means what the author designed it to mean.
You nearly had it. The black line starts higher at "gaining skill" so it requires more skill to start learning but after short time you are gaining much more skill in the same time.
