I know - it was just a little joke because there are overwhelmingly more coders here than on any other platform and I know vanishingly little about it so it always makes me chuckle whenever I click on ANYONEs profile and it says "Linux... I work with computers"....

@TheBreadmonkey I may be one of the few Linux enthusiasts you'll find on here who just likes using it as an end user. :)

I can run some simple commands in the shell, but that's about the extent of my knowledge.

Linux? I just use it.
Command line? It's just somewhere I copy and paste to if I have to.

@MikeFromLFE @analogfusion

I don't even know what Linux is? I assume it's a Windows operating system on a Macintosh desktop PC?

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE It is an operating system, but it's distinct from Windows or Mac, and will run on a wide variety of hardware. It also runs much of the internet, and is the OS on which both Chromebooks and Android are built.

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Well, technically Linux is just a kernel but for practical reasons it's usually called an operating system. Thought I'd better say that before somebody gets all pedantic about it.

Sorry Lance. I should explain that my default is messing around and being daft. So if I say something incongruous, assume I'm attempting to be funny. However.... I actually did NOT KNOW THAT! and think it's really interesting! Does that mean all Android devices? Am I a Linux user without even realising?

Lance

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE Sorta. Google has modified it. Just don't ask me how and where because that's where my knowledge ends. :)

@TheBreadmonkey @MikeFromLFE @analogfusion best joke EVER! Shows you know enough to know those all don’t go together… I am not a coder either .. but know enough that this is frickn hillarious
