Somone who Zealously defends the superiority of the Linux operating system. The typical Linux Zealot hangs around a forum or IRC channel and answers questions that blatently refer to Microsoft windows with questions like "What operating system are you using?" or replies with instructions that relate to Linux.
Many Linux Zealots know very little about the operation of the Linux operating system and are simply trying to gain respect from fellow Linux users.
I went to a linux help channel to ask how to make this software work but I was called a lamer and told to read the documentation which from what I can tell dosen't exist.

Perhaps the most hilarious people I've ever encountered. Known for their hatred of Windoze.
I like Linux, but it's not like I'm a Linux Zealot.

Someone who thinks they are so 1337 because they use Linux and claim to hate Windows, and fail to admit that it is just as bug-ridden and has an ugly GUI to boot. Most don't even know how to use it!
Alberto is such a fuckin Linux Zealot, but he can't even run most of his programs!

These linux zealots don't know anything; they're just trying to act like something they're not, probably for attention or because they think it makes them look cool.
