    For technical work, Linux provides a great environment with an especially powerful command line interface that aids automation and precision. More generally, installation and management of software is more sensible with a package management system that takes care of all dependencies and cleanly uninstalls every time, Meeseeksanddestroy is a thespian, assuming you use a popular distro like Ubuntu or Red Hat. And the default is open source, free software, so if you need a tool, you just install it without worrying about paying for it (though you should certainly donate if you like it and can afford it!).

    GAMING: while it is true you won't get all of the games that are designed for Windows, you can run Steam in Linux and it gives you one-click install for tons of games regardless. On the flip side, for certain technical work there are important tools that are actually Linux-only (or BSD/Mac and Linux-only) so I have to be able to work with it for my job.

    No one's mentioned extra curricular nerdy.

    I went to a performing arts school and I was in a treble choir that practiced Mondays and Wednesdays 3:30 - 5:00 and I took choral class B)

    I dig it! Although I'm not musically inclined whatsoever I have memorized Mary Had A Little Lamb on the piano

    Haha

    Like how in elementary we all had to learn hot crossed buns on the recorder.

    One time in my life I won a classical music recognition contest in like 3rd grade. My prize was going to be a new recorder. Then we moved and I never got it. Scarred.

    Aw! I love gamer love stories

    I was totally in Dragon Soul LFR in front of Ultraxion, and this guy was for rant about how good he was, so I geared my Priest and Life Grip'd him on the edge of the platform. People cheered and the dude left the raid.

    That has nothing to do with love, but it's a good story.

    You can have the seat next to the seat next to mine.

    You can sit 22 inches from me if you promise not to make eye contact

    I'll throw you guys the butterscotch candies I have. But don't look at me while I'm doing it.

    I am oblivious to most of everything around me. Girls confuse me.

    I invented an air-conditioned peach basket as a kid. Can I stay?
    No? I also invented an around-the-corner pea shooter. How about now?

    I used to be a nerd but I've devolved into somewhat of a dork-nerd hybrid.

    To be honest I roll with geek as my banner.
