Religion is about shit that is not real. Linux is about good engineering and open source software.
Big fat downvote for this pathetic attempt st being provocative.

Religion is about shit that is not real
"Year of Linux on Desktop"
"Better than Windows"
"Linux is easy"
"You never need to use the terminal"
"Everything you need runs on Linux"
"Android IS Linux, therefore is the most popular OS"
Yeah, sounds like religion to me.
Except all of it is true and tested. :/
Ps: have you ever heard anyone say "Islam/Sikhism/AnyOtherReligion is easy"?
No. Because it's a really dumb comparison.

no, linux is the kernel. "free software" is the religion
(but seriously, theres nothing here that could be called a religion, that would be like saying d&d is a religion or a cult because a lot of people like it, or like calling any community a religion. it makes no sense)
The difference between Linux and a cult is that Linus Torvalds actually did what he said he'd do.

If it is a religion, then it is a very fragmented one.
My brother in Christ, have you seen the history of the 3 major religions on this planet?
Do you have any idea how many denominations of Christianity there are? And most of them are open source.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Amen.
The Linux source, coc and governance continues to be improved upon, while the religious scripture and institutions mainly stay fixed

Where's the Linux orgy's guys? Cult's are supposed to have orgy's.
Prepare to be disappointed. This is how Linux disciples have sex (SFW).
Stop it! I can only get so hard!

You have to become a 4th level sysadmin, and donate at least 3 accepted PR to the kernel in chief in order to get an invite
People can and do make idols of anything, but Linux in itself is not a religion.
If Linux is a religion like Christianity then I expect Jesus to appear in front of me right now and double my fishes.
Linux works, Christianity does not.
Does using Linux, Windows, and MacOS simultaneously make me some kind of faith-exploring pilgrim?
So which OS is which religion? Right now I'm thinking unix=Judaism (older, predecessor to newer oses), linux=Christianity (distros=demominations, roots in unix.), macos=Islam(jobs is their prophet, roots in unix). Not sure about Windows. I guess maybe it could be Christianity and Linux Hindu or Buddhist...
Windows can't be Christianity, it's not fragmented enough. It's either Scientology because it's tightly controlled and without meaningful denominations. Or Buddhism from a very western point of view (i.e. oblivious to the denominations and local variations).

Might be thinking of TempleOS there.
It's the filthy Arch heretics that are a cult! All true believers use Mint!

I feel like ideology is more accurate, but alright
I used the word philosophy, but yes. I think that's a more appropriate word than religion/cult.
Absolutely. The only difference is that the benefits aren't imaginary, they are quite tangible.
And with the countless different distributions, its a polytheistic one.
So? (says while using terminal with gibberish commands to mere mortals)
