I will be honest with ya, if I looked better in dress than a shirt I would wear it. No Linux needed.
To fit knoppix into this, I would need to back the windows exit date off by a decade or so.
Where is Debian?
I am on linux mint and want switch to fedora. I'm in this picture and I kinda like it.
I haven't gotten the fembiy update yet. Anyone know how to fix this?
My version of this, and I bet I'm not alone here is more like
Windows -> Linux Mint -> Debian
[ Picture of grumpy yet somehow friendly old graybeard with one foot into his "goose farmer retirement" equivalent ]
Arch Linux user since 2016. Still look like a male nerd. What am I doing wrong
Estrogen helps
Is it necessary?
Windows -> Mandrake/Mandriva -> Fedora -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Manjaro -> Arch -> NixOS -> CachyOS -> PikaOS
It's a trap!
Holy shit, I did start using Fedora and compression pants at the same time . . .
I went from Mint directly to arch, back to endeavour, fedora, OpenSuse and currently I'm using manjaro on my PC and fedora on my laptop. Endeavour was also a very good experience. I can only recommend it.
OpenSuse however was a total Desaster. I couldn't switch back to X11,bricked my window system in an attempt of trying so and it even broke so bad, that on all of my older system snapshots (that were older than my attempt of trying to switch to X11) I did not have Internet even tho my LAN cable was connected.
Interesting. In Tumbleweed, one can switch between X11 and Wayland with a simple toggle in the login screen. I haven't experienced any issues going back and forward.
That exact toggle button did not exist on my machine (idk why), so I installed tried to force x11 by disabling Wayland in some config file and that bricked everything. Idk how, I did not bother enough to fix it, since that installation was kind of fucked anyway and moved on to manjaro. It took probably only about 1 month from the installation to this.
Personal: DOS -> Win3.1/95 -> BeOS -> WinXP -> MacOS -> Win10 -> Ubuntu -> Debian
There was definitely some dual booting in there, particularly in the BeOS (to Windows for Games) and Win10 (to Ubuntu for work) eras.
Professional: Debian -> RHEL -> WinXP -> Win7 -> Ubuntu -> gLinux/ChromeOS -> Ubuntu -> MacOS -> Ubuntu -> MacOS/Ubuntu
He/she grew boobs in fedora? In this case, sign me up!
We used to do the same joke, just about beard length instead. I'm not complaining tho

I've been using Linux since IDK over 25 years. But I have multiple devices and frequently distro hop. Currently, Bazzite on SteamDeck, a CachyOS upgraded from an Archlinux on Laptop, Fedora Kinolite on a different one and a tablet, QubesOS on a third, OpenSuse MicroOS on a container host, Debian on a Server and another container host, Archlinux on another server, bunch of OpenWrts on routers and switches, NixOS on some RaspberryPies and a build server, some Debian based Proxmox PVE systems...
So... I guess I'm just confused on my identity on that pipeline.
Same. Mine was Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Mint, Solaris, Red Hat, Red Hawk, a bunch of other stuff to Arch and maybe Parrot or Bazzite soon. I like privacy and games.
...genderfluid?
Been a Linux user for 20 years. Still hate Fedora. Don't have a desire to try arch. Love mint and Debian.Β
"I'm a Mac."
"And I'm a PC."
"...and I'm a catgirl. Nya btw :3"
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.
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.
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.

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.
