Learning is a religion? You son of a bitch, I'm in!
Might be thinking of TempleOS there.
The Church of Emacs would like to have a word, and for you to open your heart to Emacs.

And for those who already get the joke:
thats bait.meme
People can and do make idols of anything, but Linux in itself is not a religion.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Amen.
The Linux source, coc and governance continues to be improved upon, while the religious scripture and institutions mainly stay fixed
King James stable
clash of clans?
Debian stable
If Linux is a religion like Christianity then I expect Jesus to appear in front of me right now and double my fishes.
Linux works, Christianity does not.
Replace Bash with Fish. Open two terminals.
echo "Check mate".
mate
fish: mate not found 😔
TIL it's actually checkmate lol (I'm not a native English speaker).
BTW, loved your response hahaha
Lol
Actually, I ment mate as in romantic partner. "Checkmate" refers to a move in chess.
Edit: I commented this without reading the full context, I guess I completely forgot about this conversation lol 😅
You probably don't have enough knowledge to understand the difference I guess...
Absolutely. The only difference is that the benefits aren't imaginary, they are quite tangible.
Upvoted for the good laugh. But needless to say this world needs more Linux users! :)
And with the countless different distributions, its a polytheistic one.
I feel like ideology is more accurate, but alright
I used the word philosophy, but yes. I think that's a more appropriate word than religion/cult.
Religion. Cults have centralized leadership causing harm. Linux users harm ourselves / themselves.
Yeah basically
A religion is just a cult with more followers.
Then what does that make Linux?
Oh wait...
There hasn't been a debian update for 2000 years so...
Debian is updated monthly
