        step1: install Windows XP
        step2: install openSUSE
        step3: put your legs in front of the screen with neofetch, take a pic
        step4: wait 2-3 business days to get your cute socks delivered in the correct size

            I don’t think they even provide the socks, they just appear.
            I bet if you wish really hard foss angels will provide you some cute pink sandals too!

              Actually those socks would probably go great with my birkenstocks. I’ve been fetishized for being a second generation immigrant from Germany a few times before, why not lean in to it

      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:

    All real trans girls use NixOS

      It seems like there’s some universal truths in the tech industry: trans women use NixOS and code in Rust, and a lot of network admins are furries.

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

        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?

          I’m just barely older than you, and started with Linux when I was just a bit younger.

          I could basically do a goatee and nothing else but sparse hairs on the side. I’m definitely thinning out up top though.

    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.

      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 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.

      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.
