From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It happens all the time in the magical world of closed source, too.
Ever heard about the iOS vs Android fights? How people shame Android users for being green bubbles?
It's just the extension of the my camp vs theirs applied to the tech field, nothing new.
I laughed off reports about this kind of thing, thinking "omg who could possibly give a shit about what color their text bubble is in a group chat?" Later my gen Z office mate told me about how he uses an iPhone and cited this exact reason unironically. I was stunned into silence.
there's a decent amount of research into the psychology behind it and how reading white text on the light green is more difficult than on the blue bubble. it's rather interesting.
edit: although I would think dark mode should change that effect a little bit
Oh absolutely, I am sadly all far too well aware of those cases (especially the "green bubbles" thing, I've never rolled my eyes harder at a silly situation).
It's not even strictly a tech thing either, its a long standing thing in human history no matter where you look, and unfortunately I don't see it going away any time soon.
