OK, I am willing to break the ice here: What is this community actually about? I've been seeing these comics in my feed for the last 3 months and trying to connect the dots between the posts to get the idea behind the lore, but so far I'm drawing a blank apart from a hint that it could be related to Linux. Maybe I need to be a computer nerd to get the jokes or....I am not taking the community title seriously enough.

Penguin kids (Linux noobs)

~~Fish (a great shell)~~

Fish represents OpenBSD

Shell (text only interface for the terminal)

Terminal (application to display the interface)

Path (shortcut for the shell to access binaries)

Binary (application in the form of a single file)

Despite fish being a shell, I thought it was representative of openbsd here (hence the puffer fish)

preeetty sure fish the shell would go against the whole spirit of the comic, as overly complex, non-unix compliant and bloated

no hate to fish btw
