From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Changing your entire personality and opinions like that is a giant red flag.
Exactly, people must remain completely static. Don't change, its a red flag.
But also, people who don't change their opinion when they learn new information (at least when it's something I agree with), that's a red flag too.
Really, the only way to not get a red flag here is to already go into things believing the exact same thing I do, and refusing to ever change that when faced with new data.
Keeping the same personality and opinions despite new experiences and perspectives is a giant red flag.
Seeing red flags everywhere is a red flag.
Are the red flags in the room with you right now?
Being alive is a red flag.
Lol no it's not. Refusing to be honest with yourself and admitting that you were wrong about something after learning more about the thing, is a giant red flag.
