i like how theres the stereotype of being a:

  • fat man who lives in their parents basement
  • femboy with programmer socks
  • furry

and all of that just for arch/gentoo users

Everyone knows us Debian wooks all live in yurts and attend monthly struggle sessions.

[–] digger@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I've never felt so seen in a comment. Also, you're down to monthly?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

We do?

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 31 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know why, but saying a trans just sounds weird.

But yes, walking stereotype. I bet you like Fallout New Vegas, too

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit, I didn't see the A. thanks for pointing it out. Maybe my brain was going in the direction of "a trans person".

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Brainfarts are my specialty, so yeah, that sounds likely

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

BTW, yes I was exploring the Mojave just a moment ago.

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Love it

I played it for the first time just recently, and as I'm amab I played as a woman. As I always do.

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Great! I convinced my (cis) boyfriend to play it for the first time a few weeks ago and I think he has like 40 hours and still haven't finished the game.

I am also playing it to try things I couldn't try previously.

I've never seen that stereotype. I'm not so sure it is one.

[–] EbonyEarl@lemmy.fmhy.net 3 points 10 months ago

The closest thing I've seen to this is femboys using Arch.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

Keep my distro's name outcha mouf!!!

[–] Lileath@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

Does it count when I am nonbinary and use openSUSE as my daily driver?

[–] drew_belloc@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait! Is not the other way around?

[–] teddy2021@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I would've thought that the stereotype would have been an overweight white male with patchy facial hair who probably uses arch.

[–] lenuup@reddthat.com 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey. I will have you know that this magnificent beard is a sign of martial prowess and masculinity. I could easily cut you in half with any of my katanas but would find it easiest with the bat'leth, with which I have trained extensively for some time. Of course I would not have to wield the blade myself, as I can simply use my programming skills on my arch setup to program a robot to do so.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Just because I'm building a robot that wields a bat'leth, doesn't mean I'm using Arch.

I mean...I am using Arch.

But I chose Arch for entirely separate personal reasons.
