    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.

        Okay, tbf, I’m using cachyos as opposed to raw dogging Arch from the start. I’ve also used some Linux distros in the distant past, though I can’t remember the few outside of one of the early Ubuntu releases. Also, I’ve done a good smattering of IT work and programming throughout my life, so while I’m already fine with jumping into something having no idea what’s going on, I already had enough experience to not be too worried about things.

      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.

      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.

      Ok leather socks are something I’d never considered and on one hand: hot, but on the other hand I can’t imagine what shoes I’d wear them with. Obviously the pants would be leather short shorts at the most or a tight leather dress

        Assless lederhosen & barefoot ofc.
        We are a respectable community after all.

        If you dislike leather you can still belong to the club (and manipulate photos) if you go shiny:

    Good news for cos cis (ducking autocorrect) men: If you started your journey before 2015, this scale is represented by a 19U beard instead.

    My journey: DOS > Win 3.1/95/98/2000/XP/Vista/7 > Mac OS > Win 10/11 > Mint > Arch/Debian

    Feels good to have finally arrived.

    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 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.

      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.

      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 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.
