I like swords and doing drugs
En garde!
I love him! :3
It sounds like things were more hardcore for you, I’ve never had to be in a homeless shelter or anything. I can definitely relate to a lot of this though, just passing the time aimlessly with video games and drugs, not caring enough to do anything productive, being apathetic about life itself until just recently. I feel like I’ve wasted a lot of time not developing any useful skills or anything, but at least I’m relatively young. That’s all I have to say, but yeah, I hope we’ll all be okay.
4 months, but I personally started seeing hair growth changes pretty quickly, probably in the first few weeks.
HRT did make my body hair thinner and lighter, and I suppose it takes a little longer to grow back. Kind of a “your mileage may vary” thing but I do personally find things easier to cope with, especially facial hair which is barely visible for me now even if I don’t shave for a week or so.
Always nice to see
30-40%, but depending on what I’m listening to, I may temporarily crank it up. I think this question kinda depends on sound hardware, though.
There’s not any significant difference when it comes to Linux compatibility, I’ve had entirely fine experiences with both.
True, it’s easy to see why people call them that
“headless trashcan” is a rather beautiful combination of words
Needless complexity in software is something that gets on my nerves, especially on the web. We went from simple HTML to such a bloated mess that only like 2 web browsers can manage to keep up with it. I mean, does a web browser really need to do everything? Why use an office suite written in JavaScript in a web browser when there are native programs you could use?
BunsenLabs itself was a distro that was supposed to be in the spirit of an older discontinued distro, CrunchBang. There was another distro inspired by CrunchBang, CrunchBang++. Not sure exactly how active CB++ is, but there is a version out based on Debian 12, and from what I remember they seem decent and keeping up with Debian at least.
Not much has happened to me, but my estradiol dose got increased, which is nice. Also, when I went in for bloodwork, the doctor that drew my blood called me pretty, so I feel good about that.
I’ve never used Alpine as a daily driver, but it is nice. I always appreciate small and simple software.
Real
From what I remember, AOSC OS is fairly easy to install, though it’s more niche, so I don’t know if I’d recommend it to a new user. There’s also Solus, I suppose, but while there is a new release out, I wouldn’t count on it remaining actively supported, given its track record. OpenMandriva and Mageia are worth noting, too. Their parent distro was corporate, but it doesn’t matter since its dead now. Not a lot else I can think of.
Wine, DXVK, and other compatibility aids have made gaming a relatively trouble-free experience. Most of the time, if you use Steam, you can just click play and your game will work out of the box with Proton. Performance hit is usually not a big deal, and some games even perform better on Linux. Some games I play also have decent native ports. Outside of edge-cases, the only issues tend to be games with aggressive DRM or anti-cheat, which is hard to get around (though the situation is getting somewhat better with some forms of anti-cheat starting to be Linux/Proton-compatible). Though, personally, most of the games I play are at least a few years old, and most of the new games I play are indie, so I can’t exactly attest to the performance of new AAA games. I tend to hear they work well, outside of the previously mentioned issues, however.
These days, Windows constantly gets in your way with ads, forced updates, crappy apps that install themselves, useless features like Cortana, forcing you to make a Microsoft account, etc. Linux or the BSDs, however, usually give you a bullshit-free and distraction-free experience. Plus, no spyware, completely free, endlessly customizable, and low resource usage (if you use a lightweight setup, but even “bloated” distros like Ubuntu and Mint are often light compared to Windows).
And what surprised me? I guess the only thing that surprised me is how easy the experience is, especially for things like gaming, which Linux has historically had a bad reputation for. Also, how nice it can be to use the terminal, not that you have to, especially as a novice user.
woa, i have a good friend who’s transfem and gives me linux advice and loves touhou… very cool
