I’ve been using Linux for the past 5 years, and recently I change from DE to WM (i3) which change it my whole workflow. Now I use a lot more the command line to do even simple things.
Recently I note that some relatives called me ‘hacker’ and I find that kinda funny, may be because I’m so accustomed to the terminal and to i3 that I don’t notice that “it looks like a hacker thing”.
I have been using linux for over 20 years and mostly don’t think about it. Occasionally I will have someone around who does not know much about it when I do and apt upgrade and I get a “what the hell did you do?”
“I just elevated the national threat meter to DEFCON 4. Why do you ask?”
