I will be honest with ya, if I looked better in dress than a shirt I would wear it. No Linux needed.
You just gotta keep shopping, I'm sure you can find one that flatters you.
OpenSUSE user since about 2005/2006.
My headcanon (in this theme) is OpenSUSE being a tall androgynous-y female tomboy cosplaying as a strait-laced male exec done up in the latest tailored pinstripe German banker fashion, including matching waistcoat and fedora, with black trenchcoat suavely draped over the shoulders and hands in black leather gloves. And with the hair having just enough length and curl to be barely toeing past the line of decorum.
Where is Debian?
It's orthogonal. It's the ftm axis.
And then NixOS is a t4t polycule
A what?
t4t - trans for trans = two trans people dating
polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other. For example, in a 4 person polycule, maybe person a, c, and d are romantically together, but person a doesn't date b. Person b ONLY dates person c. Etc.
Some people make memes/jokes about polycules, like "The weakest one of the polycule gets kicked off the island" and stuff like that, or this fascinating Tumblr heritage post (links to RedLib instance) about a polycule commune cult in Portland.
So in this case the OP feels that using NixOS is like being in a polycule with a bunch of trans people, or that it will encourage you to transition and join a polycule.
Polycule doesn't necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
If you look at a molecule, typically you'll have clusters where each node is connected to each other node, and a branch or two reaching out, maybe with other clusters here and there.
Polycule doesn't necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
Yeah, that's why I said:
polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other.
Funny though, your comment made me finally realize why it's called polyCULE. I had no idea it came from molecule.
Oh sorry, I misread
Holy hell, what did I just read? That link is Internet gold. People don't believe it's real, but I have seen enough that it might be after all.
It's real

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.
Free software -> free expression pipeline
The free to free pipeline is real.

Arch Linux user since 2016. Still look like a male nerd. What am I doing wrong
Estrogen helps
Is it necessary?
No but the programmer socks are
If you want to optimize your system, yes.
I don't want to fall behind! Have to start it right now!!
"I'm a Mac."
"And I'm a PC."
"...and I'm a catgirl. Nya btw :3"
I went from windows directly to arch and I donβt look that good.
It's because you skipped the transition process.
Not my fault that Linux wasnβt legal and/or easily obtained when I was youngerπ₯²

Oh fuck yeah I'm already at the end of the pipeline
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 ]
Win - Mint - Tumbleweed
It's a trap!
