Arch ThinkPad Fails at School

>bring my superior thinkpad with arch to school >plug it into projector >nothing happens >"let me fix this" >notice driver for it hasn't been compiled because I wanted a minimal kernel >"just one more sec" >download generic kernel >boot into it >still doesn't work >teacher tells me I can do it another time when I fixed my computer >take my thinkpad and sit down in shame >stupid kid with windows 10 laptop walks up >plugs in >instantly works

An anonymous Arch Linux user brings a ThinkPad to school to connect to a projector, but the custom minimal kernel lacks the required driver. After several failed fixes, a student with a Windows 10 laptop plugs in and it works instantly, mocking Linux elitism and overcomplication. This meme is used to joke about technically superior setups failing at simple tasks while ordinary Windows devices succeed.
