And then NixOS is a t4t polycule
A what?
Trans for trans

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 :)
And here I assumed 10 hours ago that it’s some super complex high dimensional shape with a fancy name.
Holy hell, what did I just read? That link is Internet gold. People don’t believe it’s real, but I have seen enough that it might be after all.
Polycule doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
If you look at a molecule, typically you’ll have clusters where each node is connected to each other node, and a branch or two reaching out, maybe with other clusters here and there.

Polycule doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.

Yeah, that’s why I said:

polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other.

Funny though, your comment made me finally realize why it’s called polyCULE. I had no idea it came from molecule.

Oh sorry, I misread
You mean Lix

Stop doxxing me 😂
Am on fedora, got no butt, however beard on my neck is growing faster than before
Dnf —best install estrogen

This will take about 5 years to fully install

DNF stands for Did Not Finish for a reason

Fun fact: if you expand the acronyms in DNF, it’s Dandified Yellowdog Updater Modified
Like, from Yellow Dog Linux? Was my first Linux distro as a kid (grew up with an Apple computer). Red Hat based so checks out. TIL.
Yellow Dog Linux - Wikipedia

Me on Nobara got beard on my butt instead
I’ve been trying out Garuda for a while, my beard is basically everywhere. I look like a refrigerator cosplaying Bigfoot. My nonbinary ass would settle for being able to look like theWindows end of the pipeline at this point.
me on ultramarine got beard behind my balls
I went from windows directly to arch and I don’t look that good.
give it time 👍
Nonsense. I can attest you’re a certifiable fuckin’ snakk
It’s because you skipped the transition process.
Not my fault that Linux wasn’t legal and/or easily obtained when I was younger🥲
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.

… it doesn’t happen for everyone tho :‘’‘’'(

- this message was written from Tumbleweed by user wearing lederhosen, and leather socks

Beware straying from the pipeline!!

Those are fuckin cute. Where can I get some?
step1: install Windows XP
step2: installopenSUSE
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 p
Does openSUSE provide the sandals to go with the socks?
I don’t think they even provide the socks, they just appear.
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:

I went balls deep into Cachy OS on my mini pc to try out Linux.
Ya know… the fact that I actually went from Windows to Mint to Fedora raises some concern.
same here, but to be fair i would still use mint if i hadn’t had so many issues with it
Good news for cos 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.

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 thebmen 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.

Not you… Well damn I was briefly really excited to run into Jordan Rudess on Lemmy!

Well I’m living proof that’s not true.

Damn 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.
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.
From Windows to Arch? You must be a serial killer
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.
I went from windows to Manjaro to Fedora

Currently on Arch.

Hell yeah, I’ll be a hot woman in no time.
