That’s barely enough time to talk about best editor. Then there’s best DE, best distro, best shell, Wayland vs X, systemd, whether sudo needs to be replaced, Nvidia vs AMD etc.
Depends if the guy has social skills. There’s someone who recently joined at my work who seems to have some social development issues. He’s perfectly intelligent, but has no apparent filter and discusses topics that aren’t appropriate to discuss with people you don’t really know (about his feelings in awkward ways). If it was someone like that, I’ll take the wolves. If it’s someone who can sense when I want to take a break, Linux guy and I probably have some common interests.
I guess I’m not that guy. I use arch Linux (had to say it for the memes)but I like coding, drawing, learning new languages, photography, and I’m thinking about picking up calligraphy someday.
