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.
off to bring up gentoo penguins during every conversation i have
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.
