Is nobody going to ask how Anon getting beat up in the parking lot is relevant to the story? Thereâs no indication that Anonâs classmates followed them out to the parking lot. The incident feels more random.
Am I overthinking this instead of drifting off to sleep? Most likely.
The joke is that Anon is a very irresistibly punchable sort of person and so of course they would be a victim of violence. A common theme in greentexts is projected anxiety about peer rejection for not conforming.
Am I not understanding and the authorâs perspective is actually that they like Linux but feel ostracized?
Probably, how else would they accurately identify specific limitations with it that someone who doesn't use it would probably gloss over? It's some combination of self loathing and playing on the insecurities of the reader to bait a response.
