Shit, I think CachyOS and its gaming optimization made me jump to the end.
Mint π
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.
And then NixOS is a t4t polycule
A what?
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.
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.
Polycule doesn't necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
Yeah, that's why I said:
polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other.
Funny though, your comment made me finally realize why it's called polyCULE. I had no idea it came from molecule.
Oh sorry, I misread

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.
Free software -> free expression pipeline
The free to free pipeline is real.

I went from windows directly to arch and I donβt look that good.
It's because you skipped the transition process.
