I'm a mint guy and cis, but I wear my socks at more of an ubuntu level. Is it because I also like functional programming?
Shout out to all the cool trans geeks, though.

D should've been Hannah Montana Linux
fedora, debian and arch linux user here, and no, as a man, I ain't rocking thigh-high socks, but if I was a woman, hell yeah I would.
I was under the impression the programmer socks were compulsory for anything requiring you to compile your own kernel
as a man, I ain't rocking thigh-high socks
Is this because you actively choose to not wear them as a man, or because society will try to make you feel wrong for doing it?
If the latter, then fuck everyone else.
It has just never occurred to me that what I need while surfing the arch wiki at 3am are some thigh high socks.
So yeah, it's me not society. Society can go fuck itself though, and if I had to wear them in solidarity with my linux fam, I probably would, just not as a regular thing.
(and i have some hairy legs, I refuse to shave them so I don't imagine them looking that great on me either ahah)

I use a Fedora variant and thatβs about how high my socks are right now. Seems accurate.
I mean at least for fedora apparently yes. You guys spying on me wtf?
Or is just fantasy?
I need higher socks... All of mine are don't e Ubuntu level.
C+ Endeavour/Cachy?
That's just Arch with extra steps
I'm an arch user (primarily) but I wear my socks at NixOS, Mint or sometimes Fedora because I never threw out my pre egg-crack socks.
Is this sock or skirt length?
Also what are they running? Bare metal?

A is for Absolute Territory. Where do I get my socks they look warm?
Arch Linux looks like the AM logo. Coincidence?
I've tried them all but I've always been at fedora length. I did end up sticking with fedora so probably accurate enough.
I always thought be was Varicose vein/venous insufficiency Linux... At least that is what it is for me
