    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!
