... and now?
A smarter hairy twink 🫣
Didn't happen to me. I guess it's because I only installed it in a VM.
I think doing it on a physical host is probably more of an interesting experience. I did luks with mine which caused a couple issues but I was able to figure them out.
How much luks did you use? I'm thinking of trying even encrypted boot with grub but I'm not sure if it will be too difficult or complicated
I basically put /boot and /boot/efi in the same partition, and used everything else for the rest of the filesystem and encrypted that. Aside from that you just have to edit some config files to tell the system you’re using luks.
It's true, installing Arch will instantly shift a man's wardrobe and fashion sense while a woman will inevitably acquire a third leg.
Not to mention Ultrakill on that side monitor :3
If you don't become a femboy from installing Linux, then you become a bear like I did.
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 💜
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.
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)__/¯
This sounds a lot like how one of my friends describes it. She's a riot — she jokes that she came out as trans because as a chronic tech nerd, she reached a fork in the road where it was either "libertarian tech bro" or "anarchist cat girl".
Unrelated to that anecdote, as a queer cis woman, certainly a lot of the joy and catharsis I get from tinkering with tech feels like the same fulfillment I derive from queer community. I think there's a lot to be said for how a person's perspective influences how they approach problems. Like, as a scientist, there are definitely areas where I feel like being a queer, autistic woman affects how I approach a problem.
It's natural as a queer person to seek to protect yourself, because the world is more dangerous for us.
I installed Debain and now I'm Trans :3
Debian is for lesbians prick
Seems to happen a lot with Linux users, I’m not sure why.
When I installed Linux I thought "I may be a Linux user but there's no way I'm Trans", that was a certified egg™ moment
Right now I don’t identify as trans. But uhhhhhhhh well… you see the post.
You're silly and cute, close enough :3
What happens on the second arch install
You turn into a blahaj
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
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.
You have beautiful legs🥰
Thank you!! :D
how do you shave them so clean? I’ve been trying for days and I cannot figure it out.
Bought myself a razor and some shaving cream, tried it but the razor just won’t cut anything.
I honestly have no idea. It looks better than it is in the photo because of the lighting. I was just using a cheap Gillette razor and shaving cream, this is the first time I’ve done it actually. My only suggestion is leave the shaving cream on for a good couple minutes before shaving anything, and use some kind of hand cream after so your skin doesn’t get all dry. Also make sure your shaving in the opposite direction of the hair to get the razor as close to the base of the hair as you can.
