    “Using”?

    Improve your language! Try “befriending”, “headpatting” or “adopting”.

    Linux-chan can be a bit high maintenance but she’s very loyal and will never go behind your back.

      -tan seems to be a cutesy / baby-talk version of -chan.

        Apparently -tan became a thing because -chan was originally a cutesy baby-talk version of -san, but it got adopted into everyday language and wasn’t cutesy enough anymore.

      11 = Microsoft Windows 11

      chan = honorific for girl or child

      tan = honorific for baby

        Checked it up, apparently it comes from manga, so it’s used more there and on the internet than in real life.

    Wait, we already did this with Internet Explorer! Do we really have to feel sympathy for Windows 11 now too? >_<
