We Use Linux Around These Parts (Update Blaze has confirmed that he actually uses Linux)

Wait, what? My main OS is OpenSUSE 😄

- Stand down soldiers! He’s one of us!
openSUSE? more like openSUS. AAAAHHHH
I thought I heard you saying you were using windows :P
Have you switched recently?
- I am using Windows for some games 😄
  Oh no, I've been running this OS as long as I've been on Lemmy (though I might have switched at some point early after June 2023, I don't remember exactly)

we can fix them. we can make them better. if shadow can be redeemed, so can blaze

The pressure campaign is on! If he can convince others to use Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed then we can pressure him into using GNU/Linux 😉
- Fedi s a pipeline for Linux once you realize why fedi makes sense, then Linux becomes the obvious choice for a lot of people who are not tied to windows or macos ecosystem
  Foss life is a great.

I'd just like to interject for a moment.

Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
