Are we nerds?

I don’t know about you guys but everytime I tell someone that I use Linux and not Windows, they ‘jokingly’ say that I must be a nerd. I mean I have many other hobbies, I go out (when there is no stupid lockdown), play basketball with my buddies on weekends, I go to bars…etc…etc…
Why this classification of Linux users as nerds, or is it just me?

I am. And not only when it comes to Linux!

Why look at this as a bad thing? I see it as a good thing. Especially coming from certain people.

But this is not a hacker. A hacker wears a hoodie, sun glasses (sic!) and sits in a dark room. On his screen there is some gibberish, but no real code. At least on TV…

“Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.”

As much as I like Luke, I have to disagree with him here.

If you’re going to use 'Buntu, you may as well just get Alexa. Either way, your personal data ends up at Amazon…
