Turns out the reply in my thread telling me the best way to combat not caring about Linux is to care about Linux was absolutely correct.

I picked up a laptop, installed Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I’m already obsessed. I haven’t had this much fun with a PC in a long time and it’s just a cheapo Dell Inspiron 3520.

    I have a question for the group. I do run Linux on a ThinkPad, but it’s Mint/KDE on an X1 carbon I bought new.

    My question is: what’s the dress code here? Do I actually need to buy programming socks and a skirt? Can I get away with just wearing ribbed, white athletic socks and cargo shorts? Business casual?

      Mostly either cargo shorts or ragged jeans. The biggest hurdle is growing the badly maintained beard.

      The programming socks and skirt are only required if you can’t work remotely.

        Like my distro?

        So a tiara, duster jacket, kilt, one “stiletto pump” shoe, one wellington boot – and a roll’s worth of duck tape. Got it.
