    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.

      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.
