I’ve worked in both Windows and Linux shops, and there are subtle differences between the geekdom peasants in each. I’ve collected the ones I’ve noticed from my own experiences, and made a list out of them. (I’m skipping the obvious technological differences.) Keep in mind that I’m basing this list on the geeks I know in my little corner of the world, so your mileage may vary. 😉
Windows Geeks go to Vegas for Blackjack.
Linux Geeks go to Vegas for Cirque du Soleil.
Windows Geeks drink coffee.
Linux Geeks drink super caffeinated soft drinks.
Windows Geeks watch football.
Linux Geeks watch soccer.
Windows Geeks eat Fish and Chips.
Linux Geeks eat Sushi.
Windows Geeks drive Hybrids.
Linux Geeks drive Bio-diesel Mercs.
Windows Geeks jog.
Linux Geeks play Wii Sports.
Windows Geeks play World of Warcraft.
Linux Geeks play World of Warcraft. (Oh. Wait. That’s the same.)
So in the end, it appears that the thing that unites us is WoW. Is there anything that game can’t do? Hmmm, now that I think more about it, there’s a bunch more things Windows and Linux Geeks have in common. I think I’ll do that list tomorrow. 😀
Hmm, I go to vegas for Blackjack *and* Cirque du Soleil. Super-caffeinated soft drinks drive me a bit crazy. I like soccer but I like hockey more. Definitely like Sushi more than Fish & Chips. I’ve got a “normal” Mitsubishi Galant. I play Wii Sports. I play WoW, although rarely have the time now because I’m playing Rock Band and Mario Kart.
Hm, how does that fit in? 😉
I need to draw a Vin diagram. 😉
