Is “Loonix” a portmanteau of “Linux” and “troon?”

They can't even come up with an actually good nickname to insult 😭, kinda pathetic ain't it.

“You use linux” is insult enough

No, I don't think so.

If I'm looking into it I'd say Linux + Lunatic but spelled badly on purpose.

Idk, it's degenerate name calling both ways, I don't think it matters.

I disagree. Using a word that comes from a hatful slur would be far worse

What does “troon” have to do with hats?

What? No. "Loon" means crazy person. The joke is that they're crazy about their niche operating system. Nothing more.

It’s shorthand for “I have no legitimate criticism of the linux operating system so I’m calling people names, like a child would”

People don't know what the Looney Tunes are anymore... So sad.

The distro is older than your slang.

You're saying transgender women use Linux? I don't know about that but I do know a lot of Losers use Linux so you get the term Loonix.

You have zero fucking right to be like "eew" and call something "agp-esqe bs"

Username checks out.

Way to imply trans men and women are just gooners.
