I should introduce my friends to Linux so I can turn them all into femboys.

[–] Forrest_O@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's so confusing. I installed Manjaro (caused the mindset) and then Endeavour (pushed me farther).

Yeaaaaahhhh… well now I’m dating a guy sooo…

So, honest question. Where does the association with becoming trans or cross dressing come from when it comes to Linux? I always see the memes and appreciate the pictures but I'm ootl on this.

Edit- lot of interesting takes on my question. Thanks for the info everyone 💜

As a trans woman using Linux, imo it's using something beyond it's original design. Similar to how we 'hack' our bodies to go beyond our AGAB, a lot of us run Linux (on machines that come with windows) or hack consoles such as a 3ds we take machines with inferior software and make them better.

Or a may just be reaching and it's just that security concious and nerdy communities are also largely queer ¯_(ツ)__/¯

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago

There seems to be large overlap between queerness and nerdiness. Although that just replaces one question for another, and idk why it is what it is.

I think I've read once that niche communities tend to have notably higher rates of things like trans people. It might be that it's because these niche communities are more welcoming, so those people like LGBT+ who feel unwelcome in more mainstream places find a home there and bring their friends.

I don't remember the source and I'm half-remembering the point anyway, so make of it what you may. The context was actually speedrunning (like AGDQ).

If you don't become a femboy from installing Linux, then you become a bear like I did.

"There you are, installing Arch Linux on your computer, and all of the sudden, you're a femboy. You didn't ask for this. You didn't choose this. Yet there it is."

Is there a big difference between linux distros? I plan to swap to Linux (still unsure of which one to use) but is Arch more fem with it's ui or interfaces? Or more so why has it been seemly mostly fem people use it? /gen

[–] snowsynth@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s mostly the package manager, but a lot of distros share the same package manager. Like Debian and Ubuntu both use APT. Arch and Manjaro both use pacman. Most distros you install a traditional way with a graphical installer, but arch you actually install and configure the components manually from the command line. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners because it is pretty technical, but rather try something else, and come back to arch when you think you might be able to handle it. I think Linux mint is a great starter distro personally. Also you can change the desktop however you like on any system, so choose something that functionally works for you, and then you can mod it to be what you want.

[–] FantasmitaAsex@todon.eu 1 points 6 months ago

@snowsynth @wafflez I would add "Linux Mint Debian edition" . I recommend avoiding Ubuntu and derived distros. Canonical is trying hard to be a Microsoft wanabe. It's sad, because Kubuntu and Ubuntu were especially beginner friendly.

Also, have in mind that you can use different desktops. For beginners, I recommend to use KDE/Plasma desktop or Cinnamon desktop. Both have a very similar look&feel to classic Windows.

I installed Debain and now I'm Trans :3

[–] FantasmitaAsex@todon.eu 1 points 6 months ago
