Linux OCD 

A mental illness often suffered by Linux users who insist everyone and everything should use Linux.

Categorized by frequent repetition of tasks the likes of "sudo pacman -Syu" or "neofetch"
Can also be categorized by constant tinkering, or insistence that it was the sufferer who broke the system.
Arch Linux user's terminal history: "yay -Syu\n neofetch\n neofetch\n sl | lolcat\n yay -Syu\n..."
Arch Linux user: "I had a productive day today."
Reasonable person: "Mate, you have Linux OCD, you spend 7 hours checking for package updates and running neofetch and sl..."

Linux from scratch 

Linux from scratch is a way of trolling new Linux users into wasting thier time with compiling useless compilers to compile other useless compilers to compile neofetch which doesn't even display a custom ascii logo because your useless distribution doesn't have one so all of that doesn't even lead to you getting any karma over on r/unixporn.
WHOHOO I finally managed to get into a tty and now I'm gonna go over and tell everyone i use Linux from scratch, wait i forgot to install X important system utility and have to start over NOOOO

Linux Outlaws

A wonderful and informative Linux podcast done by two talented, and often intoxicated, individuals, and surrounded by an intelligent, though mostly off topic, community, who are frequently obsessed with the size/length of their facial hair.
I cant wait for the next Linux outlaws.

Linux Liar 

1. an overenthusiastic and highly opinionated Linux elitist who does nothing but post links to news articles 24/7 (holidays included); 2. one who knows nothing about Linux computers but pretends to.
Instead of actually graduating like you're supposed to, Roy Schestowitz spends 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (including all holidays) posting lies to every corner of the internet. He's such a Linux Liar.

linux fish 

A metal fish decal that parodies both the Christian Jesus fish and the Darwin fish that lots of people put on the back of their car. Since so few people know what Linux is, the decal confuses many passersby. It’s intentions are not as discernible as the Darwin fish so it doesn’t draw anger from Christians. It is not directly poking fun at Christians but rather it is an inside joke between Linux advocates and a snub towards Microsoft. It’s sort of a secret handshake between fellow devotees to the Linux computer operating system. It's jokingly saying that Linux can save the world.
Hey, that dude has a Linux fish on his car. He must be some kind of computer geek or something that hates Microsoft. I bet the Atheists and the Christians don't have a clue what his fish is about.
