I've been trying out Garuda for a while, my beard is basically everywhere. I look like a refrigerator cosplaying Bigfoot. My nonbinary ass would settle for being able to go back to the Windows end of the pipeline at this point.

me on ultramarine got beard behind my balls

Certainly feels like a doomer windows user to hopeful anarchist pipeline to me as well.

The free to free pipeline is real.

Ha! I have yet to play cyberpunk, but it's definitely on my list. As for anarchism, I think my move to Linux recently has been more of a solidification of my radicalization that was seeded by my love for punk and strongly cultivated by my time in the Marine Corps. I think the general public would be shocked by how many of us become Communist/Anarchist/Socialist because of our time in the US military.

Okay, tbf, I'm using cachyos as opposed to raw dogging Arch from the start. I've also used some Linux distros in the distant past, though I can't remember the few outside of one of the early Ubuntu releases. Also, I've done a good smattering of IT work and programming throughout my life, so while I'm already fine with jumping into something having no idea what's going on, I already had enough experience to not be too worried about things.

Not my fault that Linux wasn’t legal and/or easily obtained when I was younger🥲

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.

Trans for trans

Why not tan?

Same. I started in 1998 when I was 15, but I was unable to grow a beard until my 30s.

Now in my 40s I'm far away from 19U, but I have this:

(No, that's not me, but I do have a very similar beard, just not as white)

My dad said that he was late when it came to beard growth, but it meant that the men in our family would never grow a bald spot. Anecdotal evidence suggests this might be true, so I was curious if this is a correlation outside of my family?

Assless lederhosen & barefoot ofc.
We are a respectable community after all.

If you dislike leather you can still belong to the club (and manipulate photos) if you go shiny:

I don't think it's a dis.  It's just what people usually recommend to people used to Windows, traditionally at least.  Because it's familiar and just works. 

Unfortunately I'm in IT. Including a short stint as a Linux sysadmin for 4 years. I had to learn all the others and often used them. But I had 0 desire to use them outside of work, not even a little.
