Factory default, but I tweaked it a bit and installed a few add-ons.
Same. I really didn't feel at home until I went through the gender-crisis config and made the setup my own. At first I was overwhelmed by all the different ~~distros~~ genders, but I was jazzed to discover how much you can customise in the factory default.
I'm testing different software as I'm not fully aware of what my requirements are. All of it behaves differently, and comes with different perks so I'm trying to see if the non factory software is for me.
Factory default, I'm boring but a good selection of my long term boyfriends have been bi (I dgaf), so I don't know what that says about me lol. People sometimes assume I'm gay, but I've never questioned my gender or sexuality. Lots of friends across the rainbow though, luv you all. I have gay and trans family so it isn't something that I've ever seen as "not normal."

Ah, so that's why so many Linux users are nonbinary.
I myself am running stock options.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as nonbinary, is in fact, UNG/nonbinary, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, UNG plus nonbinary. Nonbinary is not an operating gender unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UNG system made useful by the UNG corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full gender as defined by POSIX.
*UNG -> UNG's Not (a) Gender
wrote my own lol / piecework from stuff randomly found on the internet
it's open source anyways (at least the kernel) in case anyone wants a copy :D
Failed copy/paste
I have a little wheel that I spin every morning
Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.
I was fine with the factory default, but I rarely ever used it so I unsubscribed. It's of no use to me.
If I do DIY is that pirating, or compiling it myself

I derived mine through scientific observation the way we detect black holes through the behaviors of nearby bodies (or through gravitational lensing and accretion discs).
Gender is very important to some people. We see this with trans folk who will suffer social stigmatization, take hormones and undergo medical procedures to identify as a gender they weren't assigned at birth. We see this with alpha males who do not feel masculine enough, no matter how big the bumper nuts on their wide-bed SUV.
I don't feel this at all. I have an [M] on my state ID. My body has the boy bits, but meh. As a young adult, I thought I just was confident in my masculinity, only I didn't do anything that was particularly masculine.
As a kid, to man up was to take care of business. These days, it seems it might have been related to pony up which is to pay the ante, since it often is about paying bills. But I was taught this was expected of everyone who was an adult, and is in fact called adulting to make sure bills are paid and household chores are managed enough to keep the larder full, the dishes clean and the elements and pests out. (Sometimes adulting was calling the utility company and asking them to please wait since I don't have the money yet. It still counts.)
Also in my youth, we had Cold War notions of manhood, which was the capacity to have unthinkable levels of violent power that you never use in any untoward fashion. Nukes were the ur-example, and guns were the obvious domestic example, but the gun was one of a dozen power tools that were only to be used with full safety precautions for their intended purpose.
But now, these days, gun owners believe the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives them the right to shoot people they don't like, and our elected officials act like children on the floor of their respective parliamentary halls and Dick Cheney shot judge Harry Whittington, and Whittington apologized to Cheney because WTF?
So I'm enby: don't care. There are no characteristics or traits I can imagine one sex should have that the other sex shouldn't. I am the black hole that no-one would notice except for all the stars.
Factory default, but at least I'm compatible with all other models.
copied a friend's
how the hell, is it that common ??
Huh. I was thinking that's the default. Children emulating the world around them as they develop. Copying from their peers
It's not uncommon for someone to go "my friend just figured out some gender stuff and now they're exactly what I'd like to be... Oooh ahh gender thoughts!"
On the flip side, I remember being like 8ish and my friend told me that I shouldn't say "cheers" to say thank you, because that's what boys say (indeed, I had picked it up from my brother and dad). Instead, I should say "ta" (or just "thanks"). That is so incredibly gender, I can scarcely believe it happened.
I took what came out of the box, very much factory default here. My offspring are figuring it out at the minute, Imma let them cook.
one night i was pondering gender stuff because my internet circle became queer enough that out became common to see chosen genders around and i thought that i didn't want to be a girl, being a guy was fine, but i would like to be a creature.
and now i'm he/they :3
so, uh. software update ig
