What the fuck is this meme, honestly? What's with all the femboy stuff? There's so many ordinary people using Linux. I don't get it. And there seems to be something against Arch Linux users in particular? I use Arch and have a wife and two kids. Am I not normal? Should I become a femboy, fellas?

in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
First came programmer socks, then Rust was invented, and now (fe)men are taking matters into their own hands, correcting the gender gap in IT themselves. What's not to understand here?
Seriously tho, I don't think it's against anyone. It's just a meme, probably originating from a high share of queer people in the IT domain and the rising popularity of anime and manga culture, where femboys are sometimes idealised.
Meh, why not?
Because I don't want to. And I don't want to be made like I want to, nor should.
Do you like genuinely think people are trying to turn you into a femboy? No one is doing that, it is just a joke. Be whatever you want, that's kind of the point.
So what you are saying is that you are still in the middle of the picture. Got it.
Very weird. Started with Slackware back in 97 or so. Still not a femboy and no desire to be one.
Maybe if I switched to arch?
Was enough for me to move to Manjaro, an Arch derivative, to become a femboy
Why, what happened?
His dick fell off.
Really the anime and chicks with dicks on this website. It’s enough to make one explode with sexual desire for a boy toy.
IDK about that. Everyone I know who uses Linux is pretty vanilla. Or maybe my perspective has just shifted...
Also you can be a femboy and be straight.
Lunacy!! What will be next, gay men who dont dress flamboyantly? /s
~~Linux~~ Arch Users
FTFY
I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.

PS - You Lemmy bastards did get me into Star Trek though. Maybe it has begun…
Don't visit any sex shops.
Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.
Let's be honest, there is no such thing as an old, fat femboy. There's a specific unfortunate ED component to femboys.
And the 35 or so odd well adjusted linux folks around that find anime, fishnets, thinkpads, (and all associated memes) to be annoying AF. Esp anime / manga / uwu /waifu / and everything in that microcosm of artistic styling if I'm being honest.
I just like the software composability discussion in plain English, man, not the side of fries.
Edit: And anyone who disagrees uses stock Ubuntu unity and unironically thinks it's both beautiful and just as good as any other distro :P
Friendly reminder about the name of this community. None of this should be taken as anything but a joke.
Maybe it's just copium cause his unix socks aren't as soft as the ones of the Arch femboy next door. (/s)
I prefer the jokes to be entirely in the linux ecosystem is all.
Maybe for you youngsters. We old farts only get to grow a beard and get fat.
I feel like a lot of young linux users aren't getting the talk and it makes me sad. Nobody ever sat them down with a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and explained the life cycle of an IT professional.
They never learn the natural cycle of things: that at a certain age a lot of IT professionals undergo metamorphosis and transform into beautiful, sock-and-sandal wearing greybeards.
Sometimes I wish. In the end it's neckbeard all the way up.
Wasn’t made aware of this phenomena until coming to Lemmy and browsing all.
But I like dem titties. How I get dem titties if I'm a femboy.
Some girls like twinks/femboys.
Or youncould start taking estrogen and stuff till you have some
It's because we want all the dress and trappings but still want to keep our packages. Logical conclusion honestly /s
I have to admit, I have questions about the impact of spending too much time deep inside machine logic territory.
It definitely makes it harder to understand humans ime.
It really don't do be like that.
It really isn't though. This is a pretty weak stereotype. I have so many friends that are counter examples. Hey it's okay to make a meme if you want to have fun but if that's how you feel then your friend group is small.
