Tux had his emo phase 😎🐧
Did you know? Most Linux users know Tux, the kernel's mascot, but few remember his 2.6.29 break when he was replaced by Tuz, a Tasmanian Devil version of Tux created to raise awareness for the endangered species. There is a picture of Tuz, sitting on the left, with black fur and a fake yellow-colored beak attached to its face.

You don’t use Sui*ide Linux. You survive it. ☠️
Sui*ide Linux 2009-02-02 by qntm You know how sometimes if you mistype a filename in Bash, it corrects your spelling and runs the command anyway? Such as when changing directory, or opening a file. I have an idea: Sui*ide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into `rm -rf /' and wipes your hard driver. It's a game. Like walking a tightrope. You have to see how long you can continue to use the operating system before losing all your data.

When Ken Thompson taught Unix at Berkeley, BSD was born. 🐧💻
The co-creator of Unix, Ken Thompson, left Bell Laboratories for a while and taught a course on UNIX at the University of California at Berkeley in the mid-1970s. Students and professors there further enhanced UNIX, eventually creating a version of UNIX called Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

That's why astronauts use Linux! 🐧💪
Comic panel #1: The scene is set in a command center for a space mission with one of the people shouting, "The spacecraft made a hard landing and crashed. We lost one billion dollars! I want to know why this happened!!!." Comic panel #2, #3: One of the people manning a control station shouts, "Um, sir! I think I've found the reason!." With that person and the other controllers pointing and looking at a screen angrily. Comic panel #3: The control panel's display shows a Windows blue screen of death error.

Linus users, captions this. There is a picture of an almost ginger cat sitting at a desk looking all employee-like (or manager-like) with a smol black laptop in front of them.

Linux is officially a religion 🐧

Come, people, let us sudo pray. 🙏
There is a shelf filled with books, one of the books in the "Bibles" section is the "Linux Bible".
