linux geek

Share definition
A fan of the Linux operating system stereotyped to be a geek because of the need to memorise hundreds if not thousands of commands to actually use the computer.

They are usually very defensive of their operating system and hate Windows users and Mac addicts alike.
Windows user: I'm just going to play Rome:Total War now
Mac user: I think I'll edit some photos or create a movie perhaps
Linux geek: I can't play games or edit photos. I'll entertain myself memorising some cryptic commands - that will help me succeed in life

Linux Syndrome

Share definition
The compulsive desire of telling people what os you use and why your data is so "important".

Symptoms include:

Constantly reminding everyone you use linux
Unhealthy obsession with open source
Never ending usage of console
Hatred for every OS that isn't linux
Talking about "kernel"
Constantly trying to convert people to linux

Possible treatments include:

Buying a windows license for the linux user
Destroying linux user's ego by explaining that you don't share their interest in the OS.
Using windows or mac in front of them and explaining why the features are great
Explaining why linux user's data is not important to the government.
Man, that person won't shut up about linux!!! They probably have Linux Syndrome .

An annoying person that whines about how they keep screwing up the Windows OS, and then say "wow linux is so cool" and get bored with their system...
The linux user had made another urbandictionary definition about how much Linux is better than windows

linux moment

Share definition
Whenever someone who uses linux encounters a problem with their computer, be it completely unrelated to anything linux, everyone around must laugh at and ridicule them for using linux.
- My discord keeps crashing, there is some sort of a memory leak in the chromium engine!
- Wow that is a certified linux moment... *laughs maniacally*
