I don't get it.
Do you use linux?
Yes
The joke is that Linux users don't take showers and don't care about hygiene. The "free and open source" part has no actual meaning.
I've never heard the idea that linux users don't shower.
It's not just a Linux thing; it's a joke about nerds in general or chronically online people being too invested in whatever they're doing like: playing video games, arguing on/moderating forums, or reading books and never taking time to care for outside things, including themselves.
I can't fathom the lack of life someone has to suffer from to come up with that. But I guess haters gonna hate.
Ah ok 👍
Take a shower.
