They’re IEMs, and earphones are a colloquialism. Nobody is stuck up if they call it an IEM, if someone doesn’t know we extrapolate for them. I don’t see the problem.
I am an IEM enjoyer (used to own Softears but don’t need them anymore), and I use Debian.
I mean it’s not a problem. I’m just letting you know that if you use a technical term instead of the colloquial one in a casual conversation on an unrelated topic, to me it reads less like “we can extrapolate” and more like “I’m using this word specifically because I want to extrapolate”. Not bad per se, cuz idk maybe someone will figure out they love in-ears from this thread. But def that’s my first interpretretation when i read something like iem in a post about airplanes.
Edit ps: I also love how everyone is responding to this with their distro 😂 optimal response

A true Debian user would never tell us that they use Debian. They would say they use Debian Testing’. BTW.
