I mean, Linux (and the entire ecosystem) is a fundamentally socialist concept.

I would say GNU is one that's openly socialist. If Linux's (or rather, Linus Torvald's) philosophy is socialist, they either do a very good job of hiding the fact or there is a lot I don't know about them.

I'd never seen that, thanks for sharing it!

That doesn't make him a socialist. He doesn't espouse any of the core socialist beliefs there. He's just saying he's a "woke communist" (as described by the right), which could mean anything from a centre-left liberal to a Marxist.

Socialism is when Linus does stuff. And it’s more socialism the more stuff he does. And if he does a real lot of stuff, that’s communism.

Who’s out there issuing atheist cards? And how do I get one?

The Satanic Temple makes a nice one. More of a certificate really though.
