I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I'd rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.

It's never too late. Don't wait! Go outside, stop the first person you'll see, look them deeply in the eyes and say it. Say it loud and proud!

You’re doing it now! /s

Are young among people a lot?

I heard symptoms get worse the longer you don't talk about it.

I haven’t either but I do find myself having to master the urge more and more.

Thank you, because on here people don’t shut the fuck up about it even if the thread doesn’t involve Linux. They’re as bad as Cross-Fitters and Vegans.

And yet here you are

So you've all heard about rolling in your grave, but have you heard about rolling releases? No? Well it works like ....

People are boasting about Arch, but my first open-source OS was FreeBSD 4.2, fitting on a single CD-ROM.
It included a tiny base system and C compiler, and practically every other package had to be compiled from source, using the ports system, which was just a collection of makefiles, one for each package.
And you had to be careful to use gmake instead of make, because the default Make was BSD-specific tool incompatible with most of open-source software, which targeted Linux. And you had to make sure to use GNU versions of grep, sed, and awk, and remove all bashisms from shell scripts, because /bin/sh was of course incompatible with bash.
You had only about 50% chance that a given package would compile. Package manager? What package manager? Just run suand then make install.
And my PC was AMD K6, and it had Turbo button, which did absolutely nothing. And I was very proud of my TEAC CD drive.

People walk around smashing themselves in the dick with a hammer, complain about the dick-smashing hammer, and lament the future dick-smashing hammer update, and the moment someone says, "Hey, have you tried these non-dick-smashing, hammer-free pants?" And they say, "Hahaha, do you also do CrossFit?"

This joke is stolen valor, I only just swapped to Linux like two days ago and I haven't had the opportunity to blurt it out to people yet.

this line of reasoning seems right to me. Well, if Windows didn't have all these problems, there wouldn't be as much need to migrate to another operating system

One of my favorite jokes:

Q: A Vegan, a crossfit enthusiast, and a Linux user walk into a bar. How do we know?

A: They told every. Damn. Person. In the bar. Within 5 fucking minutes.

Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they've already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?

Arch

Emacs

Spaces

Dark mode

Mono space fonts for coding, ligatures for prose

I exchange emacs for vim

Ew emacs, yuck 🤢🤮. Try Vim and you'll never go back.

/s btw (I use Linux, please don't kill me)

There needs to be a vegan distro. Surely someone has created one just so they can make this joke.

It was the set-up to a joke. Nobody asked who's there so they did not get to finish.:-(
