I personally like to joke that Windows users are masochists, Mac users are ignorant, and Linux users are arrogant. Obviously, these are the worst traits from a few bad eggs out of each basket, the majority are nice people who just use their computer for computer things.

I personally run EndeavourOS, which is Arch-based!

Linux != Arch.

I hate being the smartest person in the room. I think it says a lot and nothing good about me that I find myself in the situation often.

Actually it's that alternations to the source code must be shared under the same license.

So if I have an inferiority complex, I’d be using Linux illegally?

You forgot to highlight the part of the Apple TOS about not using Apple Software on machines controlling nuclear devices.

This would actually not meet the criteria of free and open source software if it were real.

This is ultimately incorrect. Using Linux just means i'm willing to risk breaking my bootloader. Linux doesn't stop me from running wine to perpetuate my dependence on closed source software. It doesn't even prevent forgetting aliases that aren't immediately broken and wondering why none of my services work anymore. I'm better than those people because my time isn't a commodity.
