Teknikal_Domain<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@RL_Dane" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>RL_Dane</span></a></span> It's a nice idea but it's good to have concrete values on something, like the original geek code, instead of you having to estimate percentages. I could say "g4 b0 u5 a4 s1 r2 n1" but that's also subjective enough as an opinion to not really convey the exact same meanings that I might intend.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/LinuxGeekCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxGeekCode</span></a>, neat concept, just maybe a touch vague? I don't know, I'm just like, a single opinion here.</p>

I might even make a revised version that takes out specific distro names and uses something generic like &quot;I tend to use very user-friendly distros,&quot; and &quot;I like distros that teach you something about the system you&#39;re setting up, and don&#39;t hold your hand too much.&quot;</p><p>I&#39;d leave the u and the a for compatibility, and as a wink.</p>

Jeremy<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@RL_Dane" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>RL_Dane</span></a></span> Interesting grouping. I'm not sure which categories would be strongest for me. I started with Linux around 2016, love Arch but am far from elitist, love that I can game on Linux but don't actually do much of it, and use Linux for more pragmatic reasons than idealistic.</p><p>Maybe something like "g0 b0 u0 a2 s2 r2 n2" would describe me. <a href="https://lowkey.zone/tags/LinuxGeekCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxGeekCode</span></a></p>
