Didn't happen to me. I guess it's because I only installed it in a VM.

I think doing it on a physical host is probably more of an interesting experience. I did luks with mine which caused a couple issues but I was able to figure them out.
How much luks did you use? I'm thinking of trying even encrypted boot with grub but I'm not sure if it will be too difficult or complicated
I basically put /boot and /boot/efi in the same partition, and used everything else for the rest of the filesystem and encrypted that. Aside from that you just have to edit some config files to tell the system you’re using luks.
I was a hairy twink before linux 🥲
... and now?
A smarter hairy twink 🫣
Used to be a hairy twink. Still are. But used to be, too.
If you don't become a femboy from installing Linux, then you become a bear like I did.
Instructions unclear, hairBoy has entered the /
So, honest question. Where does the association with becoming trans or cross dressing come from when it comes to Linux? I always see the memes and appreciate the pictures but I'm ootl on this.
Edit- lot of interesting takes on my question. Thanks for the info everyone 💜
As a trans woman using Linux, imo it's using something beyond it's original design. Similar to how we 'hack' our bodies to go beyond our AGAB, a lot of us run Linux (on machines that come with windows) or hack consoles such as a 3ds we take machines with inferior software and make them better.
Or a may just be reaching and it's just that security concious and nerdy communities are also largely queer ¯_(ツ)__/¯
It's natural as a queer person to seek to protect yourself, because the world is more dangerous for us.
Isn't there something also about expressing oneself in here? With the limited freedoms society gives our bodies and behaviours, hacking our hardware to get it to do as we please is a form of liberty, and of self-expression. With a healthy dose of show-them-the-middle-finger to everything oligarchic, capitalistic and conservative that dominates the world around us.
That, of course, with the desperately needed privacy on top.

This sounds a lot like how one of my friends describes it. She's a riot — she jokes that she came out as trans because as a chronic tech nerd, she reached a fork in the road where it was either "libertarian tech bro" or "anarchist cat girl".
Unrelated to that anecdote, as a queer cis woman, certainly a lot of the joy and catharsis I get from tinkering with tech feels like the same fulfillment I derive from queer community. I think there's a lot to be said for how a person's perspective influences how they approach problems. Like, as a scientist, there are definitely areas where I feel like being a queer, autistic woman affects how I approach a problem.
As a Marxist cat (?) girl, the barricades will be stormed by people in thigh highs and cat ears.
E: took me a while but I finally found a photo I was thinking of lol
There seems to be large overlap between queerness and nerdiness. Although that just replaces one question for another, and idk why it is what it is.
I think I've read once that niche communities tend to have notably higher rates of things like trans people. It might be that it's because these niche communities are more welcoming, so those people like LGBT+ who feel unwelcome in more mainstream places find a home there and bring their friends.
I don't remember the source and I'm half-remembering the point anyway, so make of it what you may. The context was actually speedrunning (like AGDQ).
@LogicalDrivel @snowsynth i would say that it's related to Unix socks. You know, these long striped socks that a proud Unix user should use.
Not to mention Ultrakill on that side monitor :3
Haha I was wondering if anyone would notice!
I should introduce my friends to Linux so I can turn them all into femboys.
I installed Debain and now I'm Trans :3
Debian is for lesbians prick
@kittenzrulz123 @snowsynth me too, also I come as a non binary variant.
I'm genderfluid and genderflux so I come with female, demigirl, agender, non-binary, and a bunch of other things I can't even comprehend.
I joke with my friend that’s non-binary that it’s basically “quantum gender” where your gender is basically in superposition lol
My gender is best described as yes, no, maybe, all of the above, none of the above, individually, and simultaneously.

You have beautiful legs🥰
Thank you!! :D
how do you shave them so clean? I’ve been trying for days and I cannot figure it out.
Bought myself a razor and some shaving cream, tried it but the razor just won’t cut anything.
I honestly have no idea. It looks better than it is in the photo because of the lighting. I was just using a cheap Gillette razor and shaving cream, this is the first time I’ve done it actually. My only suggestion is leave the shaving cream on for a good couple minutes before shaving anything, and use some kind of hand cream after so your skin doesn’t get all dry. Also make sure your shaving in the opposite direction of the hair to get the razor as close to the base of the hair as you can.
alrighty, thanks for the tips!
I hope it works for you!
"There you are, installing Arch Linux on your computer, and all of the sudden, you're a femboy. You didn't ask for this. You didn't choose this. Yet there it is."
If only... 😮💨
If only what? :3
If only I could become cute femboy by installing Arch. 🥺
You can do it! Just give it a shot. If you backup everything you don’t have anything to lose by trying it.
Is there a big difference between linux distros? I plan to swap to Linux (still unsure of which one to use) but is Arch more fem with it's ui or interfaces? Or more so why has it been seemly mostly fem people use it? /gen
It’s mostly the package manager, but a lot of distros share the same package manager. Like Debian and Ubuntu both use APT. Arch and Manjaro both use pacman. Most distros you install a traditional way with a graphical installer, but arch you actually install and configure the components manually from the command line. I wouldn’t recommend it for beginners because it is pretty technical, but rather try something else, and come back to arch when you think you might be able to handle it. I think Linux mint is a great starter distro personally. Also you can change the desktop however you like on any system, so choose something that functionally works for you, and then you can mod it to be what you want.
@snowsynth @wafflez I would add "Linux Mint Debian edition" . I recommend avoiding Ubuntu and derived distros. Canonical is trying hard to be a Microsoft wanabe. It's sad, because Kubuntu and Ubuntu were especially beginner friendly.
Also, have in mind that you can use different desktops. For beginners, I recommend to use KDE/Plasma desktop or Cinnamon desktop. Both have a very similar look&feel to classic Windows.
