Pipeline
(sh.itjust.works)
"I'm a Mac."
"And I'm a PC."
"...and I'm a catgirl. Nya btw :3"
I went from windows to mint to debian .. did I fuck up?
There are many paths in life, and you chose to follow your own. There is no better way than that.
We used to do the same joke, just about beard length instead. I'm not complaining tho
Note to self: convince cute guy friend to try Mint.
Thanks for the tip.
Oh fuck yeah I'm already at the end of the pipeline
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.
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.
DOS > OS/2 > FreeBSD > Debian > Gentoo > Ubuntu > Mint
I am one step behind you.
Something to look forwards to!
All real trans girls use NixOS
Source : I'm a trans girl. Me and literally every other trans girl I know uses NixOS (and I know several dozens)
Am fedora user, where ass?
Do squat? Source fedora squatter
Why no Gentoo :( ?
I guess adding Gentoo would make NSFW tag mandatory
👆
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 can't speak for others, but for me it works like a charm.
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.
Hipsters:
likes something different/uncommon
makes it cool
...
"Ugh. That's so mainstream."
judges everyone for liking it.
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.
Ooo its me! Hello.
Free software -> free expression pipeline
Certainly feels like a doomer windows user to hopeful anarchist pipeline to me as well.
I'm in the Endeavour phase, but I think my stockings are better. Otherwise maybe my secondary Ubuntu box is holding me back.
Also, getting older feels counter to getting hotter :(
Currently on Arch.
Hell yeah, I'll be a hot woman in no time.
And then NixOS is a t4t polycule
A what?
t4t - trans for trans = two trans people dating
polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other. For example, in a 4 person polycule, maybe person a, c, and d are romantically together, but person a doesn't date b. Person b ONLY dates person c. Etc.
Some people make memes/jokes about polycules, like "The weakest one of the polycule gets kicked off the island" and stuff like that, or this fascinating Tumblr heritage post (links to RedLib instance) about a polycule commune cult in Portland.
So in this case the OP feels that using NixOS is like being in a polycule with a bunch of trans people, or that it will encourage you to transition and join a polycule.
Thanks you for the explanation :)

Good news for ~~cos~~ cis (ducking autocorrect) men: If you started your journey before 2015, this scale is represented by a 19U beard instead.
Started LONG before 2015.
Still can't grow a beard worth a damn.
Same. I started in 1998 when I was 15, but I was unable to grow a beard until my 30s.
Now in my 40s I'm far away from 19U, but I have this:
(No, that's not me, but I do have a very similar beard, just not as white)
My dad said that he was late when it came to beard growth, but it meant that the men in our family would never grow a bald spot. Anecdotal evidence suggests this might be true, so I was curious if this is a correlation outside of my family?
Not you... Well damn I was briefly really excited to run into Jordan Rudess on Lemmy!

Help! I just installed fedora last night and my ass grew, its fat af, what do I do?!?
I got a Linux VM on my phone, on two of my laptops, run Arch on my main, installed Zorin on my wife's and my parent's notebooks and have Cachy on my PS4 and on my Switch.
When do I get to look good?
Any minute now, right guys?
I went from windows directly to arch and I don’t look that good.
Nonsense. I can attest you're a certifiable fuckin' snakk
