" summary

A quick onstage trivia segment asks conference attendees rapid-fire Linux questions: guesses fly and correctness varies — the systemd “d” gets called daemon (then dismissed as over-simplified), no one remembers the kernel release codename, and the zombie shuffling desk is described as a desk with a treadmill underneath so you walk slowly while working; a volunteer refuses to demonstrate and a joke lands that Linus can change a lightbulb by himself.
