Dumb story time:

Many years ago when meeting up with friends for drinks, one brought along her classmate/friend from out of town. I already thought she was cute, but then talking about work (as a jr. sysadmin at the time) she talks about her CS classes and that she was into Linux, so this was already "head over heels" territory for very early-twenties dork me.

So I decided to be saucy and asked her, "pico or vi?"

She immediately responded, "pico is for pussies."

After I replaced my jaw, I did the only logical thing I could think of and proposed to her on the spot. I never saw her again.

You must not have been enough of a FOSS supporter. Got to make sure you call it GNU/Linux next time, bud.

I myself prefer KDE/Systemd/GNU/Linux.
