I’ve been using Linux for the past 5 years, and recently I change from DE to WM (i3) which change it my whole workflow. Now I use a lot more the command line to do even simple things.

Recently I note that some relatives called me ‘hacker’ and I find that kinda funny, may be because I’m so accustomed to the terminal and to i3 that I don’t notice that “it looks like a hacker thing”.

    Yes. Because they don’t have any familiarity with the way Linux desktops look and work, it all looks very much like the technology depicted in movies/shows/games that is very frequently a tool of a “hackerman” type character. That’s even more true when a terminal enters play.
