    The previous place I was a sysadmin for was 3 girls in the Linux team (including me) and one guy who was a junior sysadmin and my wife also prefers Linux so I know more girls who use Linux than guys IRL. It's a different situation online but than again I don't bother correcting people if they think I'm a guy online.

    You've never met someone IRL who uses Linux? That's kind of surprising to me. I've had a couple coworkers who use it, and I also had some people in college in my classes who used it too.

        We're in a Linux subreddit community so chances are good that someone into Linux would also be more into tech than the average person, and more likely to have a tech related job :P

        Yes I'm a web developer and I run Linux as my only OS currently.

          Well there is the reason that your coworkers use linux. I can assure you in a normal office job or something like that you will likely not find a person wich uses linux

    If only, most people I've met, girls included, just get confused. Though I've met people who use Linux irl, too.

    They've all been guys, so far.

    Unless I count my sister, but she only uses it because that's what was on my gaming laptop when she "borrowed" it for her own purposes.
