Went from Windows directly to Arch and I just became an anarchist and (I’d argue) more masculine. Guess it’s less about Trans and more about becoming more true to yourself.
Free software -> free expression pipeline
Certainly feels like a doomer windows user to hopeful anarchist pipeline to me as well.
The free to free pipeline is real.
Sounds familiar, although i now use Guix. For me though i felt like it was more cyberpunk’s fault for turning me towards anarchy. Johnny Silverhand be spitting some facts lol.
Ha! I have yet to play cyberpunk, but it’s definitely on my list. As for anarchism, I think my move to Linux recently has been more of a solidification of my radicalization that was seeded by my love for punk and strongly cultivated by my time in the Marine Corps. I think the general public would be shocked by how many of us become Communist/Anarchist/Socialist because of our time in the US military.
Oh that’s interesting. I think i saw a thread on reddit earlier this week where they also talked about how many people that have been in the military before became very anti-government afterwards. I can definitely recommend cyberpunk, especially now that it’s all patched up. I should probably replay it myself at some point, cause i haven’t played the dlc yet, and i also finished the game right before they did the huge skill tree overhaul. Also, not really a big spoiler or anything, but Silverhand also has a military background, so i guess it all lines up lol.
I went from windows directly to arch and I don’t look that good.
give it time 👍
It’s because you skipped the transition process.
Not my fault that Linux wasn’t legal and/or easily obtained when I was younger🥲
Good news for
coscis (ducking autocorrect) men: If you started your journey before 2015, this scale is represented by a 19U beard instead.What about sin men
Why not tan?
Well, for one there’s the increased skin cancer risk.
Currently on Arch.
Hell yeah, I’ll be a hot woman in no time.
Am fedora user, where ass?
Do squat? Source fedora squatter
We used to do the same joke, just about beard length instead. I’m not complaining tho
Yeah isn’t funny that the joke about Unix/Linux users was they all had bigger beards than lobster fishermen, and now it’s that they’re all transfem.
Ya know… the fact that I actually went from Windows to Mint to Fedora raises some concern.
This is an aside but why is this the highest quality version of this image I’ve seen? I swear whenever I see this meme it looks like it’s been faxed, scanned, compressed, jammed onto a floppy disk, ripped from the floppy disk, and then posted.
I’m using Fedora because my ass be lookin’ fine.
Can confirm
Why do people seem to dislike mint? I like mint it works with a minnimum of bullshit.
It’s a “beginner-friendly” distro so people might subconsciously think you should “graduate” to use something “better”.
Which is ridiculous, of course. No reason to switch if it works for you!
I don’t know, I installed Mint last year and it’s been great.
I don’t think it’s a dis. It’s just what people usually recommend to people used to Windows, traditionally at least. Because it’s familiar and just works.
We’re still somehow not over the hipstery conceit that anything with mass appeal is inherently flawed.
I can’t speak for others, but for me it works like a charm.
Because it’s becoming mainstream. And for some people, that means they have to dis on it to feel special.
Use the OS/Distro that works for you. If Windows or MacOS hits the spot for you, use that. There are no wrong answers here.
I just don’t like the organizational structure of its maintainers as much as I like Debian’s, but that’s just a personal quirk. There’s no wrong answer because the right answer is subjective.
They don’t dislike it, it just doesn’t make them look edgy. And some people like to (which is fine BTW).
I’ve started on Conectiva in the nineties, Debian, Ubuntu, and settled on Mint. I’ll probably switch to LMDE if at all at this point.
I will be honest with ya, if I looked better in dress than a shirt I would wear it. No Linux needed.
You just gotta keep shopping, I’m sure you can find one that flatters you.
I’m in my EndeavorOS cycle at home right now and neither do I get cuter nor more feminine, is it because my daily driver is still on Mint and my second work-laptop is still a Windows machine that my employer makes me leave on Windows?
Definitely because of Windows.
Where is Debian?
It’s orthogonal. It’s the ftm axis.
Mint 😭
Why no Gentoo :( ?
I guess adding Gentoo would make NSFW tag mandatory
