    I... don't get it. Is this a reference to distros?

    I'm sorry to be the one who breaks this to you but linux is as binary as you can get. Ever wondered what 64 bit means? Bits are quite binary, that's kind of the definition

    With the introduction of the number 2, we goin' TRINARY!

    Fun fact, the reason internet speeds are measure in Bits, not Bytes, is that 8 bits to a Byte is entirely arbitrary and could be changed if there was will to do so.

    I wonder what percent of Linux users dual boot. ~~I don't think I ever have~~ I'm just remembering getting a laptop from an employer and going through the effort of partitioning the disk drive down to a bare minimum for Windows and setting up dual boot - I don't remember actually booting into the Windows side more than a couple of times. This would have been over a decade ago. Either I've had a Windows-only machine supplied by my employer, which I wasn't allowed to mess with at that level; or I've had a Linux machine. Even the computers I've bought that came with Windows pre-installed, I haven't even booted into Windows before wiping the storage and installing Linux.

    I'm not some sort of purist; Windows just makes me angry when I use it - I've just always found it a frustrating experience, so I've never bothered with dual booting.

    It makes me wonder what the distribution is. Are the majority of Linux users dual-booters?

    I used to dual boot for some games. Mainly VR stuff. But Windows is always a hassle and super slow.

    Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

    calling Kostman's?

    Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Would you say that Windows is cis and Linux is trans?

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago (7 children)

    No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

    I switched to Linux around the same time I came out to myself, so yeah...

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

    c/unixsocks and c/unixporn seem to be rather trans dense populations as well.

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I just switched to Linux. This'll be an interesting ride.
