The joke is that Linux users don't take showers and don't care about hygiene. The "free and open source" part has no actual meaning.

It's not just a Linux thing; it's a joke about nerds in general or chronically online people being too invested in whatever they're doing like: playing video games, arguing on/moderating forums, or reading books and never taking time to care for outside things, including themselves.
