A tarsec is a computer user who is a fan of Linux but does not know how to use it. Tarsecs for example will have a Linux wallpaper on their Windows PC and use common *nix lingo. However, when asked about a simple Linux command such as "tar" or "ssh" they will quickly become flustered and get very defensive.

The little tarsec came to our IRC channel showing us screenshots of his windows command prompt. He was so proud he changed the font color to green and felt like he was a real hacker. I told him to "man tar" and stfu. lol
