smug linux users

That might have been me 20 years ago, but these days I don't give a fuck what you use. If Linux is your thing and you have the passion, you'll gravitate towards it yourself just like I did. I don't need to push anyone into the cult. We aren't all like that.

The cultish people are most likely still in the honeymoon phase. The veterans know how annoying and sometimes rough the OS is, and acknowledge it, but stick with it anyway.

And yet... this meme popped up in my feed despite not being subscribed to linuxmemes. So there are still plenty of snobs.

It's normal human behaviour. From vegans, iphone users, xbox gamers, ford owners, owners of automatic watches being snobs about quartz watches, ...

Still annoying and unwelcoming for outsiders though.
