Get the Linus'd mug.I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. 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.

Get the Linux Bro mug.Slang term for "drop resistant" in the PC enthusiast community, originating from the running gag of Linus Sebastian, creator and host of Linus Tech Tips, dropping and breaking things.
"Hey Jake, I dropped the 10.000$ CPU and it's broken."
"Seriously? Again? They need to start making these things Linus-proof or we'll go bankrupt..."

Get the Linus-proof mug.Someone who uses Linux. Users are often known for being computer science nerds who really enjoy modifying and tinkering with computers. This is in no way bad, and they are often confused with elitists who thinks everyone should use Linux and that you're "cringe" if you don't.
