In physics, a fluid is a liquid, gas, or other material that may continuously move and deform (flow) under an applied shear stress, or external force.[1] They have zero shear modulus, or, in simpler terms, are substances which cannot resist any shear force applied to them.[2]
That's a dangerous metaphor to bring to the table. People will start talking about Wayland like it's just some sort of bottom surgery, but it's actually way more risky and regretted.
Gender's more like a window manager. It provides a set of conventional frameworks for how you make yourself beautiful, but if it's breaking your workflow or won't give you the tools you want, shop around.
not gonna say you don't have a point here, but what if the underlying windows manager is akin to sex, the renderer is gender, and everything else is just what you interface to it with these two layers of abstraction?
What if you're like me and use multiple operating systems? I usually use Linux Mint but also have a Windows 10 LTSC computer for my gaming and other windows needs.
Same. It's my first real attempt at using Linux, and it's worked so well for me that I've had no desire to attempt distro-hopping thus far. Guess I finally have pronouns other than my default.
No system-D by default afaik.
I barely game on it (it's probably very do-able but I just don't have the time or apetite anymore to invest in big titles).
MX is pretty good. Very customisable and quite user friendly (maybe not as much as let's say mint but still in the vicinity).
yeah, default is sysvinit , can choose systemd if you want. Unsure why, since the point of the *X* distros (MX, antiX etc) is to not use systemd.
I barely game on it (it’s probably very do-able but I just don’t have the time or apetite anymore to invest in big titles).
graybeard club. I still game but indies or old stuff.
Which DE did you go for? Fluxbox or XFCE, and did you change it to something else? I spent some time messing about with fluxbox on MX on a VM and it feels pretty good, but I'm enjoying using LXQT in my VMs
I did pay for the full suite since it was a one time deal and my GF needed a lot of the programs and the preinstall was nice. But yeah we've really enjoyed it so far and she's getting to experience breaking your computer by running github scripts to get a printer to work lol
i kinda feel this. of course, there are levels of granularity to terminology that will unfortunately result in people using the same words to refer to different things. but whatever terms there are, i use linux mint and whatever kernel/os/shell/ui/etc that implies is fine by me.

Thats why transbian is the best distro
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1d
debian is the official straight people old greybeard distro. Sorry.
It's literally named after a straight couple who settled down and had kids.
EDIT : Transbians can use it though
magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 1d
Then explain the Debian lesbians?
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1d
Lesbians can use things made by straight people.
Just you know, an OS named after a cis hetro relationship that made 3 kids is probably hetero normative. There's nothing wrong with anything else.
Come on person, the trans people have arch, just let us have the boring one.
