I've never told anyone IRL that I use Linux.

Nor have I actually spoken to anyone for more than a few words since I started using Linux.

I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I'd rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.

The magic words I use are, "Oh! This isn't Linux. I'm not sure how to use these, anymore."

It's never too late. Don't wait! Go outside, stop the first person you'll see, look them deeply in the eyes and say it. Say it loud and proud!

That’s too casual. You’re going to want to plan a distro reveal party first.

Thank you, because on here people don’t shut the fuck up about it even if the thread doesn’t involve Linux. They’re as bad as Cross-Fitters and Vegans.

I heard symptoms get worse the longer you don't talk about it.

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I haven’t either but I do find myself having to master the urge more and more.
