Personally I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 - I’ll engage in the distro sectarianism for the bit, sometimes on the side of one that isn’t even what I actually use, but I hate being an annoying proselytiser of anything, I hate dealing with the broad tent politics of the FOSS world, and I’m happy to engage with the community positively but I hate being any of the nasty stereotypes.


I am and always will be 2. I’m surprised to discover that there are even distro wars, “I use arch btw” trend thingy, and the feeling “elite” over people who don’t use linux (like some occasions dissing Windows users out of a sudden). I use it for the sake of using it, just like any other operating systems, however, with a non-bloat at start desktop environment and a good introduction to Terminal User Interface, CLI, privacy and open-source realm. Plus I don’t jump around and discuss anything online regularly or showing off anything so silent is the most significant trait of mine.
Yeah, I’m pretty similar. I use the particular Linux distro I do because it works and it gets out of my way and lets me use my computer the way I want to. Which Windows no longer does. I have nothing against people who choose to use it, I’m just no longer willing to fight with it myself and lately not very happy with the company that makes it. I see distro wars or dissing folks who still find Windows to suit their computing needs as utterly pointless, counterproductive, and antisocial behaviour.
