But I don’t want to tell anyone. I just want to fiddle with things and people not asking what I’m doing, as I asnwer just waving my hands in the air (mostly because I’m not entirely sure what I’m doing)
“Are you a hacker?”
“sike” :^(
Lol no
Why couldn’t just tell people that you use linux an*way?
mostly… I tell people who are using linux that I use linux, too.
The sudden moment of awkwardness when you realize they’re using ubuntu and might run back to microcrap because you came on to strong is real.
Hi - I’m a Linux newbie.
I don’t tell other Linux users that I use linux because it almost always leads to a bunch of questions that I don’t know the answer to. So let me assure you, that awkwardness is on both sides of that conversation you’re describing.
I promise… it’s just enthusiasm!
even the linux-from-scratch snobs are usually pretty decent (really it’s only when it’s their first time out of the server room in too-long a time). I usually try to switch it up to something like "have you tried playing The Battle for Wesnoth. (it’s a turn based fantasy strategy game that’s… uhm. surprisingly good.)
I’ve been on both sides I still tell people and inquire about it when I spot it in the wild.
Anusway?
This is the way.
Is this real?
No, it’s a comic.
I believe.
Then everybody will just argue what’s the best distro/desktop environment/kernel etc. instead xD
