i like how theres the stereotype of being a:

  • fat man who lives in their parents basement
  • femboy with programmer socks
  • furry

and all of that just for arch/gentoo users

Everyone knows us Debian wooks all live in yurts and attend monthly struggle sessions.

I've never felt so seen in a comment. Also, you're down to monthly?

I don't know why, but saying a trans just sounds weird.

But yes, walking stereotype. I bet you like Fallout New Vegas, too

Oh shit, I didn't see the A. thanks for pointing it out. Maybe my brain was going in the direction of "a trans person".

Brainfarts are my specialty, so yeah, that sounds likely

BTW, yes I was exploring the Mojave just a moment ago.

Love it

I played it for the first time just recently, and as I'm amab I played as a woman. As I always do.

Great! I convinced my (cis) boyfriend to play it for the first time a few weeks ago and I think he has like 40 hours and still haven't finished the game.

I am also playing it to try things I couldn't try previously.

I've never seen that stereotype. I'm not so sure it is one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The closest thing I've seen to this is femboys using Arch.

Keep my distro's name outcha mouf!!!

Does it count when I am nonbinary and use openSUSE as my daily driver?

[–] drew_belloc 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait! Is not the other way around?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I would've thought that the stereotype would have been an overweight white male with patchy facial hair who probably uses arch.

Hey. I will have you know that this magnificent beard is a sign of martial prowess and masculinity. I could easily cut you in half with any of my katanas but would find it easiest with the bat'leth, with which I have trained extensively for some time. Of course I would not have to wield the blade myself, as I can simply use my programming skills on my arch setup to program a robot to do so.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Just because I'm building a robot that wields a bat'leth, doesn't mean I'm using Arch.

I mean...I am using Arch.

But I chose Arch for entirely separate personal reasons.
