    A friend of mine had a party at her place on the most recent new years eve, there were several people who I hadn’t met before there and we quickly realised we were all Linux users and, of course, absolute fucking nerds (I mean that with pride and appreciation).
    She is very much not a nerd in that way and most others there weren’t too. It took about 15 minutes before she threw her hands up in the air and said “guys, this isn’t fun for anyone else, if you really need to only talk about operating systems and shit like that you’ll have to leave. Everyone else wants to hang with you guys too but no one can if you keep this in-group thing going.”
    And, yeah, we all understood her view. Of course we put up a playful fight though, first acting all disappointed and then saying “ok, ok, we’ll leave then. Have fun being all boring and stuff without us cool kids” etc. which it took her a while to realise wasn’t serious, heh.
    For the rest of the night we had to stop ourselves several times from getting back into it, both among ourselves and with other people. All of it was great though, and made some new Linux geek friends!

    TBF, almost everyone I work with uses Linux. There’s virtually no conversation about it. It’s just what it is, like even the weather is more deserving of discussion.

      I work a job at an airport assisting the elderly and disabled with wheelchair assistance.

      I cannot tell you, literally cannot tell you how many people sit in my wheelchair, and IMMEDIATELY start talking about the weather.

      Uggghhhhhh!

      I would be pleasantly surprised if the conversation instead was like this:

      “So, hows your day going?”

      “I murdered my wife and kids last night. Then I ate their corpses…”

      “Really? That’s fantastic. Hey, what operating system are you using?”
