This is too close to reality to be satire

This is what I want to be if only I don't have social anxiety.

The line between reality and satire is often thin.

But not quite as thin as the system requirements needed to run Linux /s

This is very close to how I act towards my dad whenever he complains about his Windows 11 updates and performance.

This is meant to be a caricature of a Linux evangelist, not a 100% accurate portrayal of a Linux evangelist

it's good satire because there are valid points thrown in, but also some completely irrelevant ones

That's really only downside of using Linux. You have to keep doing jogging everyday. Otherwise you can't keep up with the uninitiated speed.

TBH my system doesn't even that little on idle, and I'm using LXQt. I don't think it was that low even when I was running just a window manager on a real machine (i.e. with audio, wifi etc. running). I'd probably have to use Void or Alpine to get there. But w/e, I got my laptop 16GB RAM last year, which is about the only hardware stat it has that's actually decent lol
