I use CachyOS because I don’t feel like going through the hassle of installing drivers for my 1070ti. The kernel optimizations are nice, tho.

Just to find out it wasn’t a mistake :3

I’ve been on this instance (and the Fediverse as a whole) for around 8 months now, and I couldn’t be happier here. Keep it up!

Thanks a lot for the advice. Sounds like you went through some tough shit, but I’m glad you made it out. I can’t wait to put some of this to use!

Edit to add:

I know my time with my conservative friend is limited. I have an older trans sibling, and their plan is to slowly cut ties as they move out, and in planning on following suit. For what it’s worth, they’re still somewhat decent people, but I’ve realized I can’t have family that would want me dead.

Also, thanks for the response in general. This whole thing is terrifying to me rn, and being accepted like this is helping a lot. Super glad you’ve handled it well, I hope I can too.

Hello and congrats! I have recently discovered that I’m a woman, and am curious about surgery and transitioning as a whole, so I have a lot of questions:

1. How has transitioning as a whole been for you? Getting on hormones, wardrobe changes, socially, etc? I’m only out to my close friend circle, but already know my close family is cool with trans people.

2. If you have any conservative/anti-trans people in your life, how have relationships been with them since you started? Have you cut ties, or hidden your transition, or anything else? I have some bigoted family that are otherwise decent people and that I’d like to stay connected with (for now, at least).

3. How was surgery as a whole? What was pre-op like, any things you didn’t like about it, things you had to compromise on, etc? I’ve never had surgery in the first place, so this would be extremely foreign to me.

4. If you don’t mind, what was dysmorphia like for you? I’ve wondered for a while before now what it’d be like to be a girl, and have especially felt it in the genital area. And on the occasion I’ve been “misgendered,” I always felt really good about it.

5. How have you learned to do feminine stuff? Like chest measurements, makeup/nails, other clothes stuff, etc? Just researching online, or do you ask cis friends, or something else?

6. Are you doing any voice training? If so, anything you can recommend to help? I have a lower voice and a small range, so anything helps.

7. Any resources you can recommend me on this? Where to learn about treatment, advice on how to do this stuff?

Again, I’m still extremely new to this space (and social anxiety’s a bastard in this context), so any advice is much appreciated.

Unironically why we moved away from frutiger-aero/skeumorphism: flat icons and layouts are way easier to create and therefore cheaper.

Instructions unclear: my screen has detached from my phone.

I’m kinda forced to. And if I’m forced to anyways, why do we still use so much paper? Either kill the rainforests or steal my data, not both.

We are getting very close. FEX and any Waydroid improvements ValvE upstreams will also help a ton for apps that depend on them. I’ve also had success with setting up suspend-on-sleep on older laptops battery-wise, so you could always try that in the meantime.

I’m already looking into it lol. From this point on, every device I purchase needs to run Linux.

The rapture happens between now and 2030, all its users ascend to heaven.

Much better explanation than 03:00-me ^^^

CachyOS is built off Arch, a rolling-release distro. RR distros are notoriously unstable, and by design. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

I encountered this problem myself, and it was very stupid and annoying, but I had reason to re-install anyways. That’s the cost of bleeding-edge packages. If you’re unaware/unprepared for it, best not install anything arch-based. That’s why most servers are Debian-based.
