Plot twist: The right side is actually just Linux furries having Vim vs Emacs and X11 vs Wayland debate/fight.

Plot twist: the "wolves" are just furries going to a major infosec conference, and will also talk endlessly about Linux

Definitely next to Linux guy. I've been working on Linux since very early days, so I don't talk about it because at this point it is as core to my life as knowing how to brush teeth. Nothing would entertain me more than to spend a flight giving that guy the ole "ummmm...actually".

I'll sit beside him, put in my IEMs so I can't hear him and reimage my steam deck with windows 11 just to make him squirm.

Seat 2. The guy in seat 1 already uses Linux, so someone ought to tell the wolves.

Well this is lemmy, nearly everyone is the Linux guy. Personally I would definitely sit next to the Linux guy because I would love to nerd out with someone else about Linux for 10 hours.

Oh, when I entered the plane side 1 was still empty

Hear me out.

The Wolves got through the airport checkpoints without any issues.

I'll sit next to 1, and I'll spend the entire flight talking to him about my .NET setup on Windows and how to date Visual Studio is still the best IDE available for any mainstream programming language.

Depends what distro he runs

what do the wolves smell like?

Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, I was in such a situation on the train before. I was just there working and the person sitting next to me noticed I had a linux desktop (in fact, GNU/Linux, btw). They were curious and vaguely interested in switching to linux for a while, so we had a nice conversation about this.

I would not bring this up myself, but it's cool that this happens sometimes (i.e., once in a few decades of life so far)

I'M GONNA PET THE PUPPIES :D

and feed them ._.

Can I choose the bear?

Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.

Ask the guy to hold down the wolves while I teach them how to install Debian

Linux guy. My time here at Lemmy has acclimated me to his kind.

Can't answer, as I am the guy on the left (plus 10 years and 50 lbs).

1, just switched to Linux.

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!

Either that or sit in 1 and tell him one of the wolves is violating the GPL.

if it's the laid back linux guy, simply very enthusiastic, I'll gladly sit next to him

some kind of fanboy, who thinks in terms of us vs them and who makes it his personality then nope

Sit beside one and talk about the BSDs being the superior race LMAO

2. I use linux too so I'd get a more diverse range of conversation material with the wolves.

Throw the Linux guy to the wolves, enjoy an empty row just for yourself

In my designated seat...

Fortunately, i own earplugs

Depends if the guy has social skills. There's someone who recently joined at my work who seems to have some social development issues. He's perfectly intelligent, but has no apparent filter and discusses topics that aren't appropriate to discuss with people you don't really know (about his feelings in awkward ways). If it was someone like that, I'll take the wolves. If it's someone who can sense when I want to take a break, Linux guy and I probably have some common interests.

It's wolves, i'm sitting besides the pack, cause it's impossible for me to sit beside ME!
