Why are some in quotes?

[–] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago 
$ cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Arch Linux"
PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
(...)

Because this is how distributions declare their names

Because that's people not using Arch Linux but "Arch Linux".

I use (pause) "Arch" btw.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's actually Ubuntu with the default Arch wallpaper.

Every part of this sentence makes me sad.

Just a guess, maybe those don't have explicitly set distribution names and are basically named by Valve themselves.
