What distro he uses? 🐧💻

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, since the movies where one big trans allegory, the answer can only be Arch.
Wut
Lilly Watchowski has stated as much
I am not a big Matrix fan, so maybe my knowledge about the films (I saw 1 and 2, both only once) might be too limited. But I completely fail to understand the symbology.
From what I can remember, the simbolism is stronger in the first movie and not so much on the other two. I recall two key things that can simbolize the struggle trans people go through or are references to transgenderism.
I'm sure there's more but it's been a while since I came across the analysis.
Worth noting that when I watched the movies I never made an association with transgenderism. I think in great part because I was not even aware of it.
This would have been a clear symbol.
A bit subtle, especially if you weren't familiar with medicines at the time, but the blue pill is supposed to represent an antidepressant (Prozac was apparently blue at that time, don't know about now, and was commonly prescribed to closeted trans women instead of actually addressing the core issue), and the red pill HRT (one of the common hormone pills at the time was red)
Which makes the "redpill" movement extra hilarious.
As said, though, it was really subtle if you knew that and completely opaque if you didn't

How about this link
Thanks. That loads but it doesn't explain how the film is an allegory for transgender. I'd love to read an analysis of the film that breaks down what scenes mean what through that lens
I see. I watched some video on it a ong time ago so I don't recall the details. I'm sure you can find something.
With a lot of shots, scenery, and concepts stolen right from the movie Dark City.
I have to rewatch that gem..
