Personally I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 - I’ll engage in the distro sectarianism for the bit, sometimes on the side of one that isn’t even what I actually use, but I hate being an annoying proselytiser of anything, I hate dealing with the broad tent politics of the FOSS world, and I’m happy to engage with the community positively but I hate being any of the nasty stereotypes.

Proud member of #3 gang here, although I don’t really give a shit about distro wars. But if you’re talking about a problem with Windows you can be pretty sure I’ll say you could avoid that with Linux.
Being labeled “annoying” often means you’re completely correct and the person you’re talking to knows it but has some cognitive dissonance to work through. You see it with linux, socialism, veganism, etc. People don’t get nearly as annoyed by opinions they sincerely disagree with as by opinions they can’t find a good reason to disagree with (but want to anyway)
Yeah… I care a lot more about socialism than computer operating systems, and I know my leftism alone exhausts people’s patience with me. Otherwise I probably would talk people’s ears off about how there is a solution to their constant Windows frustrations.

I’m 2, and the rest of my family is 1
I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 also. I rarely bring Linux up unless the topic is operating systems or I’m directly asked about it. Then I’ll talk your ears off.
2 is probably the closest to me. I use Linux but don’t really talk about it.
I’m probably in the 5-6 area. Maybe a toe into 7.
Between 2 and 3. I’ll show off my Linux setup to friends and preach to the choir, but I won’t rub my choices in the faces of people who use other distros or operating systems.
number 4 hates desktop Linux and thinks 1 2 and 3 should be using Windows forever
Somewhere between 6-7. I follow issue trackers but spend more time implementing other peoples’ fixes than adding my own code. I also maintain dozens of systems at my workplace.
Usually a 2 since I never really talk about it outside of here.
I think the only times I’ve talked about it with others is venting about my problems or what I’m trying to accomplish to my mom or when my dad switched to dual booting Mint on his laptop that thankfully doesn’t support win11.
I’m usually not big on being a consistent fandom interactor type of person in general, so yeah.
Annoying user gang
Mostly 2 and a little bit 3 and 7 at the same time. :-)
I do find that 7s can be a little annoying about their pet projects, but that’s to be expected considering how many computer nerds are autistic folks with a special interest in this stuff.

Between 3 and 4, I interact with the fandom and use Linux daily for work. But I’m not toxic because my distro isn’t very known
Somewhere between two and four, eheh
