Aren't most routers powered by Linux?
OPNsense and pfSense are pretty popular and are BSD-based.
Linux nerds froth at the mouth when the biggest part of their personality is mentioned.

Its too reductionist man, most things are just a thing - who cares.
Its not about "Linux" its usually about the rest that comes with it (self hosting, sysadmin, programming, general tinkering, etc). Same way someone might geek out on cars or sports.
Indeed it is.
