We talk about the stereotypical Linux user. Is it an unwashed bearded guy with a skin problem? Is it a privacy absolutist? A command line wizard? Just a slob like one of us? We talk about a cool project that Shane found, an example of open source making a difference outside of tech. We circle back to the Linux user, might they be a tinkerer?
