• you have more terminal windows opened up than graphical applications, and you don't even realize that.
• you use the terminal far more than graphical applications.
• you love to using the terminal, fuck graphical soyware!
• you use rsync to sync your config files across multiple computers.
• you use git (the terminal app, not just the protocol) to manage all your source code.
• you login to multiple computers and servers (and phones if you have a Linux phone) via SSH every single day.
• you use SCP in a password-less setup (SSH keys) to upload and download files rather than relying on a bloated FTP client.
• you know exactly what /etc, /usr, /lib, /var, and /bin are for.
• you spend your time as the root user as little as possible.
• you update all your apps using the Linux distro's or BSD variant's native package manager (sorry, Flatpak, Snaps, AppImages, and downloading binaries from the internet doesn't cut it).
• you use vim, Neovim, and/or emacs for text editing and as your IDE of choice rather than relying on some bloated graphical IDE.
• you prefer using a tiling (or floating) window manager over a desktop environment.
• your bash or shell history is filled with "cd", "ls", "grep", "mv", "cp", "rm", "touch", "mkdir".
• you consult the "man" over internet resources.
• you know that copyright is a scam.
• even if you buy yourself a Surface or Mac, you ALWAYS make sure to install Linux or BSD before the initial boot, and make it use up the entire storage too.
• you make bootable USB drives using the "dd" command instead of relying on some bloated graphical USB drive flasher.
• you get disappointed when newbies REALLY want to turn Linux and BSD into yet another Windows or macOS clone.
• you hate to use smartphones, because no keyboard.
• you know the difference between "open source" and "free software", and only use "open source" or "FOSS" for the noobs who think that "free software" means piracy.
• you know full well that Torrents aren't limited to piracy.
• you find using Windows and/or macOS like trying to navigate through a massive maze.
• you know that Epstein didn't kill himself.
