Do you use linux?

[–] sentient_loom 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes

The joke is that Linux users don't take showers and don't care about hygiene. The "free and open source" part has no actual meaning.

I've never heard the idea that linux users don't shower.

It's not just a Linux thing; it's a joke about nerds in general or chronically online people being too invested in whatever they're doing like: playing video games, arguing on/moderating forums, or reading books and never taking time to care for outside things, including themselves.
