What is a "Linux"?
GNU/Linux, often referred to as Linux, is a unix-like, free and open-source family of operating systems based on the Linux kernel. While it is most commonly used in servers and phones (Android), it has found a niche set of users using it as their main desktop operating system.

Because of its small userbase, it's community has been infected with horrors, such as people of the gender-confused community and literal pedophiles. The average Linux user spends little to no time outside, neglects his (yes, its probably a he) basic hygiene needs and talks down on the filthy people who dare use a proprietary operating system.

Flavors/Distros of Linux
Debian Linux (and its variants): Probably by far the most popular (including variants) Linux distro, it is mostly used in servers and desktops alike. Its variants include Ubuntu, Pop_OS! and Linux Mint.
Arch Linux: Arch Linux is a rolling-release distro with it having a reputation of it being hard to install. Because of this reputation, it has the most elitist community. A fork of Arch is used on the Steam Deck.
Slackware: Who the fuck uses this?

Linux Customization/Ricing
Due to the openness of Linux distros, many faggies customize it to death, most of the time sacrificing productivity for looks. You can view examples of some rices on r/unixporn.

Slapfights
Due to the infected nature of the Linux community, internet drama in the Linux community is very common. Here are a few recent examples:

Drew DeVault & freedesktop.org vs Vaxry & Hyprland: Drew DeVault, a well-known autist hates the Hyprland community, due to it having a somewhat based and redpilled community. This recently peaked when Lyude, a "code of conduct" officer for freedesktop.org, tried to enforce the freedesktop.org code of conduct on the Hyprland community, despite the Hyprland project being outside the scope of freedesktop.org. When Vaxry (the maintainer of Hyprland), did not bend over, he was banned from freedesktop.org development.
