    You do not want to see an old-school greybeard dressing like this.

    You might think you do when you first imagine the concept, but no, you really don't.

    That's funny because seeing that meme, I thought how interesting it was that the "hardcoreness" of a Linux user went from being measured by the length of the greybeard to the height of the programming socks.

    Although, I guess back then, the distros mentioned would probably have been revolving around Gentoo, void, slackware, and Linux from scratch. So I suppose greybeards don't necessarily need the high socks.

    Damn shame if you ask me.

    I mean, if your beliefs in the unix philosophy are still strong enough to do away with the convenience that is (or can be...) systemd, you deserve some respect.

    Distro surfing on the side (e.g. with virtual machines, or pendrives, or multiboots, or spare machines), rather than distrohopping for the main daily driver, kept me sane as I surfed (probably) over 1000 distros between 2003 and 2012. Really only had 3 long lasting daily drivers in that time [on my main rig], from suse, to sabayon, to gentoo [and crunchbang and others on the thinkpad].

    All my rabid distro surfing (~ not distrohopping, honest! lol) stopped, when I found the cheatcode...

    ... Just in case that mantra fails.

    Are Crocs with socks Gentoo?

    A handful of my co-workers are Gentoo loyalists, and they wear CwS year-round. Contrary to the stereotype of CwS being the strongest possible birth control, these dudes are beating back the female suitors with a stick.

    Contrary to the stereotype of CwS being the strongest possible birth control, these dudes are beating back the female suitors with a stick.

    There’s a weird horseshoe effect, where you stop giving a fuck what others think of you so hard that it loops back around to being attractive again. It’s a confidence thing. Genuinely not caring what others think usually requires a lot of self-worth and confidence.

    Source: Regularly rock the CwS, am happily married. Don’t even need to beat back female suitors, because the wife is a hot bisexual goth witch who regularly brings home other women for us to bed.

    I believe it is a MoYu RS3M but I don't know how to confirm that. It's been so long since I bought it and I lost the actual box and accessories somewhere in my last couple of moves

    Ah, I thought that GAN is the only one with pointy corner peices near the center. I also have MoYu, but Weilong GTSM3. It's pretty old now, but with lube it is still very satisfying to rotate. Though not much time to cube compared to when I got it.

    Like, yes and no.

    For people who are somewhat familiar with Linux, Ubuntu is certainty recognised as being about as mainstream as any distro is able to be, and a safe haven for Linux noobs for decades.

    In recent years however it's Mint which has for whatever reason been constantly recommended as a go-to distro for people fleeing the evils of Windows, ramping up especially with the discontinuation of Windows 10.

    So right now, Mint might be more of a beginner distro than even Ubuntu.

    Mint which has for whatever reason been constantly recommended as a go-to distro

    I can bring my anecdote to the table:

    I was able to mess up my initial ubuntu install so bad, that any time I deleted a file, the system thought I threw out that piece of drive with it. Maybe I reigned back on my careless 'sudoing', but Mint was able to take me all the way to the Arch variants without breaking.

    Now I just do whatever Endeavour tells me. Next step will be to start messing properly with Arch (and kin), and see what all the fuss is about around FOSS.

    I'm using mint in fluffy warm house socks. In my defense, I'm using Mint because I may have to install a super user-friendly linux on the old computers of two boomer family members who are using win 11 and macOS respectively.

    I need to make sure I know it really well and can do whatever tech support I need to do. And lock it down for them.

    But I'm also digging it. Especially since it's not Weyland, I've been able to lock all the inputs and still watch movies

    Edit: to protect from my cat, who just knocked my phone out of my hand and butt submitted this before I was ready. Now to clean my screen

    If you are going to provide support to non-Linux users, I would highly recommend an immutable distro. Choosing something from Fedora or it's clones will keep uneducated users from being able to mess with the underlying OS. Yet it allow users to install/uninstall software through flatpacks with no need of sudo and the risks it can bring. Updates can be set to automatic and they will never need to do updates themselves. And if something does go boom, then you can easily roll back on reboot to get a working desktop until you can fix things for them.

    I actually use openSUSE too, but my socks are between Mint and Ubuntu.

    I'm a mint guy and cis, but I wear my socks at more of an ubuntu level. Is it because I also like functional programming?

    Is this because you actively choose to not wear them as a man, or because society will try to make you feel wrong for doing it?

    If the latter, then fuck everyone else.

    It has just never occurred to me that what I need while surfing the arch wiki at 3am are some thigh high socks.

    So yeah, it's me not society. Society can go fuck itself though, and if I had to wear them in solidarity with my linux fam, I probably would, just not as a regular thing.

    (and i have some hairy legs, I refuse to shave them so I don't imagine them looking that great on me either ahah)

    As a Mint user, I can say that my socks are usually between E and D. As such, I can firmly say this graph is incorrect!

    I'm an arch user (primarily) but I wear my socks at NixOS, Mint or sometimes Fedora because I never threw out my pre egg-crack socks.
