    In my experience, Linux folks are just happy to find each other in the wild.

    Hell, I’m just happy to meet people that are Linux-curious lol.

    It’s mostly online that the distro wars are fought.

        Yeah cause you have to say that insane shit to someone’s face and you know you’ll sound like an unhinged fuck

      I’ve never met a linux enthusiast or even a user IRL. So at this point if I ever do, they will achieve best friend status off of that alone.

      So strange that an operating system has that affect on me

        You never knowingly met a Linux user. Statistically speaking, you probably have.

        The issue is that OS-preference is not very common as a small talk topic. This is why you should name drop your fav distro in every conversation.

          I have “rm -rf /” tattooed on my left arm. I’m hoping one day I hear someone say “Hey you forgot --no-presrve-root or /*”.

          Met one guy (my therapist weirdly enough) that knew it was a *nix command. That was pretty cool.

            I’ve slowly been decorating my IT office with various Linux trinkets.

            I just got a foam stress “ball” Tux recently, and I plan on getting a Debian coffee mug, maybe some Linux/FOSS related stickers lol.

        I got a colleague last year, but he is the only one.

        Super nice to have Proxmox/Docker/Portainer discussions at work.

        Hope you find a new best friend soon!
