Personally I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 - I’ll engage in the distro sectarianism for the bit, sometimes on the side of one that isn’t even what I actually use, but I hate being an annoying proselytiser of anything, I hate dealing with the broad tent politics of the FOSS world, and I’m happy to engage with the community positively but I hate being any of the nasty stereotypes.

$ man tainers No manual entry for tainersProud member of #3 gang here, although I don’t really give a shit about distro wars. But if you’re talking about a problem with Windows you can be pretty sure I’ll say you could avoid that with Linux.
Being labeled “annoying” often means you’re completely correct and the person you’re talking to knows it but has some cognitive dissonance to work through. You see it with linux, socialism, veganism, etc. People don’t get nearly as annoyed by opinions they sincerely disagree with as by opinions they can’t find a good reason to disagree with (but want to anyway)
I guess somewhere between 6 and 7…urm 6/7 👐 (and my kids say I don’t understand memes 😅).
I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 also. I rarely bring Linux up unless the topic is operating systems or I’m directly asked about it. Then I’ll talk your ears off.
Between 2 and 3. I’ll show off my Linux setup to friends and preach to the choir, but I won’t rub my choices in the faces of people who use other distros or operating systems.
2 is probably the closest to me. I use Linux but don’t really talk about it.
Somewhere between 6-7. I follow issue trackers but spend more time implementing other peoples’ fixes than adding my own code. I also maintain dozens of systems at my workplace.
Non, I use Linux purely at home. Have no way to use it in the heavily regulated world I work which is very corporate and very locked down windows where I cant even access CMD or pin things to the taskbar.
But at home I run Debian and raspberry pi os on my 2 servers, and arch Linux on my desktop, and Debian with retropie and cinnamon on my laptop.
I have no interest in distro wars, no distro is better than any other, they just all cater to different subset of people and users. I don’t even believe Linux is superior to any other os. I love Linux, and it is perfect for me, but I would never advise my wife to try it, as it offers nothing she would benefit from over her current use of windows.
And I develop and maintain a package in the aur, but it is minimal, and I have published on GitHub a couple of apps, but I would not describe myself as a developer or maintainer, as they are just tiny personal fun projects.
And finally I am a huge proponent of foss and anti big tech where I can be. I believe I currently have all the benefit of the android ecosystem without using it at all. As in everything is backed up and synced to the cloud, but I own my cloud. Everything except Lemmy and email I self host. Calender, contacts, files, photos, music, DNS, search, pdf editor, notes… That’s all I can think of for now.

I’m a wannabe 2, maybe soon, I just discovered a new passion with my home assistant server, more new local self hosted stuff in the making and a switch to bazzite for my personal pc in my year list of stuff to do.
Somewhere between two and four, eheh
Between 3 and 4, I interact with the fandom and use Linux daily for work. But I’m not toxic because my distro isn’t very known
