Personally I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 - I’ll engage in the distro sectarianism for the bit, sometimes on the side of one that isn’t even what I actually use, but I hate being an annoying proselytiser of anything, I hate dealing with the broad tent politics of the FOSS world, and I’m happy to engage with the community positively but I hate being any of the nasty stereotypes.

I’m annoying
Like, in general.
Mostly 2 and a little bit 3 and 7 at the same time. :-)
I’m probably in the 5-6 area. Maybe a toe into 7.
$ man tainers No manual entry for tainersAnyone with an Android device is level 1 by default.
I guess being in this community puts me at least at level 3 by definition. I contributed a package to GNU Guix but I’m not quite a “maintainer” or even a regular contributor to it yet. Maybe I can claim level 5 just by virtue of having contributed to an “advanced” distro.
In “the real world” my mild-mannered alter ego would be level 4 because I use GNU/Linux at my day job.
Proud member of #3 gang here, although I don’t really give a shit about distro wars. But if you’re talking about a problem with Windows you can be pretty sure I’ll say you could avoid that with Linux.
Being labeled “annoying” often means you’re completely correct and the person you’re talking to knows it but has some cognitive dissonance to work through. You see it with linux, socialism, veganism, etc. People don’t get nearly as annoyed by opinions they sincerely disagree with as by opinions they can’t find a good reason to disagree with (but want to anyway)
Yeah… I care a lot more about socialism than computer operating systems, and I know my leftism alone exhausts people’s patience with me. Otherwise I probably would talk people’s ears off about how there is a solution to their constant Windows frustrations.
Usually a 2 since I never really talk about it outside of here.
I think the only times I’ve talked about it with others is venting about my problems or what I’m trying to accomplish to my mom or when my dad switched to dual booting Mint on his laptop that thankfully doesn’t support win11.
I’m usually not big on being a consistent fandom interactor type of person in general, so yeah.
2 is probably the closest to me. I use Linux but don’t really talk about it.
I guess somewhere between 6 and 7…urm 6/7 👐 (and my kids say I don’t understand memes 😅).
hoping one day i can be 6/7 too when i grow up!
number 4 hates desktop Linux and thinks 1 2 and 3 should be using Windows forever
I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 also. I rarely bring Linux up unless the topic is operating systems or I’m directly asked about it. Then I’ll talk your ears off.
I’m 2, and the rest of my family is 1
Between 2 and 3. I’ll show off my Linux setup to friends and preach to the choir, but I won’t rub my choices in the faces of people who use other distros or operating systems.
Somewhere between 6-7. I follow issue trackers but spend more time implementing other peoples’ fixes than adding my own code. I also maintain dozens of systems at my workplace.
