Yeah, I've actually been looking into trying Linux as my entire personality as well
Seems like they get allllllll the babes, amirite?

wdym? or rather what are you referring to? (sry am a bit dense sometimes)
like as long as you are not the "basement-dwelling (arch) elitist" stereotype, advocating for free/libre software is pretty cool imo
(also did you just say Linux when referring to desktop? insert "actually what are you referring to as Linux is in fact GNU/Linux" copypasta here /j)
I'm a bit dense as well, so you're among friends (not sure I fully get ur reply, tbh)
I was mostly piggybacking on your popular comment to poke fun at people that seem to take their choice of OS a bit too seriously. That "as well" at the end feels odd; it was meant more like the "too" at the end of "and I probably would've got away with it too."
now I get what you mean lol
tho I still think that being passionate about the things you care about (be that technical or social justice) is something wonderful. As long as you don't go down the path of elitism
I had someone tell me that I was doing exactly that this weekend when I wrote a forum post and feedback submit to the company I buy my keycaps from for a 1.5u Tux or Logo key option rather than the windows 10 logo they currently offer.
I figure they'll offer at least their logo as that'd sell really well (glorious, look em up for why), but having someone reply that I needed to not make Linux my whole life was weird
