    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’ve been on both sides I still tell people and inquire about it when I spot it in the wild.
