I'm sorry, but "I dual boot Fedora," has to be one of the most hipster/nechbeard sounding phrases I've ever heard. Not to besmorch your choice at all, just the way it sounds is hilarious.

    First of all, if you want to insult someone, at least get the spelling right.

    Secondly, there's nothing "nechbeard"-y or hipstery sounding about it at all. It's a tool. You use tools to do work.

    If you want to assign some weird social construct to it to validate your own choices, that's fine. Just keep those opinions to yourself because no one cares about them, and they make you look small.

    When I said I don't besmirch the choice, I meant I didn't think it was actually pretentious or obnoxiously awkward, etc. The phrasing just made it sound like a bit a tech-minded comedian would do to mock such people. I don't think they are actually a hipster or a neckbeard, nechbeard, or neckbread, just that the wording was funny.
