  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I support their journey into systemhood 😌

    [–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Same here. I have a ThinkPad, and don't identify as a person. It just happens that I'm not a femboy (to my knowledge)

    [–] individual@toast.ooo 3 points 1 day ago

    I can't relate ; I've never had a think pad

    This is either really transphobic or really trans positive :p

    [–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    I'm not even trans, I just like the aesthetic and these socks help me program better

    I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC πŸ˜”

    Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it's the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

    Ive got an old network that eol got a bunch loaded with n64 and ps1 rims on it.

    Using it for learning about cyber security mostly. Reading, browsing, just laptop stuff aside from that.

    Shit... One of my coworkers is giving me one of these to play with...

    Guess I'm ordering the socks this weekend...

    My boss gave me 5 free T-420s. They all run Mint now.

    Uhh… I just picked up a pair of old Thinkpad x130e and have a put Linux on them. If I run Debian instead of Arch and keep the sticker collection small can I avoid having to find socks like that in my size?

    I just bought a T580 from eBay. When do the socks and skirt arrive?

    [–] Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Need to install Arch first and, of course, tell everyone about it. One morning they will just appear on your doorstep. Happened to me, and everyone else I know.

    [–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    I installed EndeavourOS. Does that count?

    [–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 1 day ago

    Yes, but the colour of your clothing will be pre-selected for you in a very opinionated matter.

    [–] notthebees@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

    7th or 8th gen Intel?

    I call bullshit. You’re telling me they’re choosing some bullshit knockoff cherry red crap over arguably one of the best laptop keyboards ever created?

    That’s AI man.

    Not trans, but soon I'll also have a ThinkPad, where can I get stickers for it? I'm looking into Manjaro instead of Arch though.

    [–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Manjaro is kinda crappy tbh, I'd recommend EndeavourOS or CachyOS instead.

    That reminds me that I have a stack of Vista era laptops (and one Win 7) gathering dust. I should find something to do with them.

    I don't get the stickers thing.

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    Using one to cover up logo or brand etc is understandable tho.

    [–] marzhall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

    The stickers thing has always been an "ick" for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.

    That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.
