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.
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.
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.
Sounds familiar, although i now use Guix. For me though i felt like it was more cyberpunk's fault for turning me towards anarchy. Johnny Silverhand be spitting some facts lol.
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.
Oh that's interesting. I think i saw a thread on reddit earlier this week where they also talked about how many people that have been in the military before became very anti-government afterwards. I can definitely recommend cyberpunk, especially now that it's all patched up. I should probably replay it myself at some point, cause i haven't played the dlc yet, and i also finished the game right before they did the huge skill tree overhaul. Also, not really a big spoiler or anything, but Silverhand also has a military background, so i guess it all lines up lol.
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.
step1: install Windows XP
step2: install openSUSE
step3: put your legs in front of the screen with neofetch, take a pic
step4: wait 2-3 business days to get your cute socks delivered in the correct size
Actually those socks would probably go great with my birkenstocks. I've been fetishized for being a second generation immigrant from Germany a few times before, why not lean in to it
Ok leather socks are something I'd never considered and on one hand: hot, but on the other hand I can't imagine what shoes I'd wear them with. Obviously the pants would be leather short shorts at the most or a tight leather dress
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?
This is an aside but why is this the highest quality version of this image I've seen? I swear whenever I see this meme it looks like it's been faxed, scanned, compressed, jammed onto a floppy disk, ripped from the floppy disk, and then posted.
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.
I just don't like the organizational structure of its maintainers as much as I like Debian's, but that's just a personal quirk. There's no wrong answer because the right answer is subjective.
I'm in my EndeavorOS cycle at home right now and neither do I get cuter nor more feminine, is it because my daily driver is still on Mint and my second work-laptop is still a Windows machine that my employer makes me leave on Windows?
I can't imagine the confusion you have saved yourself to not learn 400 different package managers and all the other qwirky differences beween distro types.
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.
I've been using Linux since IDK over 25 years. But I have multiple devices and frequently distro hop. Currently, Bazzite on SteamDeck, a CachyOS upgraded from an Archlinux on Laptop, Fedora Kinolite on a different one and a tablet, QubesOS on a third, OpenSuse MicroOS on a container host, Debian on a Server and another container host, Archlinux on another server, bunch of OpenWrts on routers and switches, NixOS on some RaspberryPies and a build server, some Debian based Proxmox PVE systems...
So... I guess I'm just confused on my identity on that pipeline.
Same. Mine was Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Mint, Solaris, Red Hat, Red Hawk, a bunch of other stuff to Arch and maybe Parrot or Bazzite soon. I like privacy and games.
If you switch to Arch you have security vulnerabilities due to firewall not being setup automatically and some other issues. If you don't know, probably better to stick with Endeavor. I have Arch and love but it's a pain in the ass when combined with Hyprland, which is also a bit bleeding edge and hard to maintain.
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.
I went from Mint directly to arch, back to endeavour, fedora, OpenSuse and currently I'm using manjaro on my PC and fedora on my laptop. Endeavour was also a very good experience. I can only recommend it.
OpenSuse however was a total Desaster. I couldn't switch back to X11,bricked my window system in an attempt of trying so and it even broke so bad, that on all of my older system snapshots (that were older than my attempt of trying to switch to X11) I did not have Internet even tho my LAN cable was connected.
Interesting. In Tumbleweed, one can switch between X11 and Wayland with a simple toggle in the login screen. I haven't experienced any issues going back and forward.
That exact toggle button did not exist on my machine (idk why), so I installed tried to force x11 by disabling Wayland in some config file and that bricked everything. Idk how, I did not bother enough to fix it, since that installation was kind of fucked anyway and moved on to manjaro. It took probably only about 1 month from the installation to this.
To be precise, it is not a "toggle button" as such, it is a menu at the bottom left that is defaulted to X11 but can be switched to Wayland.
Tumbleweed also has snapshots. I don't know how messing around with Wayland could make even launching into a snapshot impossible but I never messed with Wayland/X11 either.
You don't need internet to rollback to a previous snapshot before you nuked your system files by editing that config to turn Wayland off. But given that this is in the past, it is water down the river I guess.
I got a Linux VM on my phone, on two of my laptops, run Arch on my main, installed Zorin on my wife's and my parent's notebooks and have Cachy on my PS4 and on my Switch.

And then NixOS is a t4t polycule
Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world · 32 pts · 162d
A what?
Naho_Zako@piefed.zip · 38 pts · 162d
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.

There are many paths in life, and you chose to follow your own. There is no better way than that.

Change Arch to NixOS and change EndeavourOS to Arch

If you switch to Arch you have security vulnerabilities due to firewall not being setup automatically and some other issues. If you don't know, probably better to stick with Endeavor. I have Arch and love but it's a pain in the ass when combined with Hyprland, which is also a bit bleeding edge and hard to maintain.

I am in the exact pipeline. But instead of mint, I used zorin for a year. Now on EOS from Fedora.

Shit, I think CachyOS and its gaming optimization made me jump to the end.

Maybe I shouldn't have installed Mint on my dad's old laptop that won't run Windows 11. 🤔

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.

This is inf act exogenous steroids and not Linux distributions

I don't think I'll ever use Arch, it's way too involved. I'll stick with Fedora on my Main system and Bazzite on my Steam Deck.

EndeavourOS is pretty much set up and go and it's just Arch under the hood.
Astertheprince@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 161d
Maybe I'll give EndevourOS a shot then.

Lol, I just made one of my friend try mint....

I am on linux mint and want switch to fedora. I'm in this picture and I kinda like it.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org · 1 pts · 161d
I went from Mint directly to arch, back to endeavour, fedora, OpenSuse and currently I'm using manjaro on my PC and fedora on my laptop. Endeavour was also a very good experience. I can only recommend it.
OpenSuse however was a total Desaster. I couldn't switch back to X11,bricked my window system in an attempt of trying so and it even broke so bad, that on all of my older system snapshots (that were older than my attempt of trying to switch to X11) I did not have Internet even tho my LAN cable was connected.
Jiral@lemmy.org · 1 pts · 161d
Interesting. In Tumbleweed, one can switch between X11 and Wayland with a simple toggle in the login screen. I haven't experienced any issues going back and forward.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org · 1 pts · 161d
That exact toggle button did not exist on my machine (idk why), so I installed tried to force x11 by disabling Wayland in some config file and that bricked everything. Idk how, I did not bother enough to fix it, since that installation was kind of fucked anyway and moved on to manjaro. It took probably only about 1 month from the installation to this.
Jiral@lemmy.org · 1 pts · 160d
To be precise, it is not a "toggle button" as such, it is a menu at the bottom left that is defaulted to X11 but can be switched to Wayland. Tumbleweed also has snapshots. I don't know how messing around with Wayland could make even launching into a snapshot impossible but I never messed with Wayland/X11 either.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org · 1 pts · 160d
Well, i could boot into the snapshots, but I didnt have Internet. I have no clue how the fuck this is even possible, but it happened anyway.
Jiral@lemmy.org · 1 pts · 160d
You don't need internet to rollback to a previous snapshot before you nuked your system files by editing that config to turn Wayland off. But given that this is in the past, it is water down the river I guess.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org · 1 pts · 160d
I literally booted back into the old snapshot (I could switch between them in the boot menu). It was fully functional, except Internet.

To fit knoppix into this, I would need to back the windows exit date off by a decade or so.
FreshLight@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 162d
I got a Linux VM on my phone, on two of my laptops, run Arch on my main, installed Zorin on my wife's and my parent's notebooks and have Cachy on my PS4 and on my Switch.
When do I get to look good?
Any minute now, right guys?
