Totally next to the linux guy. In fact, what you're refering to as Linux is GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
Thank you. In that sense I find OP's question misleading: Option 1 should be "guy who really likes to talk about the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project"
I bet I could convert a hundred people to Linux.
How much you wanna bet I can throw a football over them mountains?
