I've never told anyone IRL that I use Linux.

Nor have I actually spoken to anyone for more than a few words since I started using Linux.

    I just generally try to avoid letting people know how technically savvy I am. I'd rather not do basic tech support for everyone I know.

    The magic words I use are, "Oh! This isn't Linux. I'm not sure how to use these, anymore."

    I'm unironically like that with apple things. The last time I used an apple things was 15 years ago. Im comfortable doing just about anything technical on windows, Linux and android, but hand me an iPhone or a MacBook and I instantly realise how those elderly technologically impaired people feel - completely lost.

    So this morning I had to go to my mother's house for IT support as one of her monitors wasn't working. I plugged the power cable back in to the back of the monitor and the problem was solved.

    I'm not sure the level of IT support I provide is high enough to get blamed for anything 😆

    Just recently me assisting thru remote desktop:

    Windows popup comes up

    Me: Cancel

    He: Presses OK

    Me: WHY did you press Ok, I said cancel

    He: I thought we're supposed to continue with this

    It's never too late. Don't wait! Go outside, stop the first person you'll see, look them deeply in the eyes and say it. Say it loud and proud!

    Thank you, because on here people don’t shut the fuck up about it even if the thread doesn’t involve Linux. They’re as bad as Cross-Fitters and Vegans.
