Her life is normal. The depiction on the television is fiction. No reason to be envious

I guess happy families are fake TV stuff! π
Entertainment depicts garbage as well as enviable traits and lessons many of which align with feeling loved and accepted.

Theyre lamenting the fact that the tv is bootloader locked and cant run aosp and voyager... right??
The easy way to have both is:
- be trans girl
- get a gf who's also a nerd
- not straight romance like on TV, but who cares, lesbians are better anyway.
I have genuinely never heard of a straight woman using Linux. They all seem to be trans
Did you mean that you've never heard of a non-trans woman using Linux?
cis is the word you are looking for
Ah yes, you're right.

IRL I only know of one person who uses Linux as a desktop computer.

I've worked with a few before.
The thing is that unfortunately women receive a lot of harassment online, so they'll often use a gender-neutral or male-sounding username online, and maybe won't post as much so as to not draw attention to themselves.
I'm not sure why it's more common to see trans women in online communities though. Maybe in general they're more thick-skinned or are less worried about posting online, or maybe just spend more time online in general? Not sure.
massive correlation with being trans, and being super adhd/asd/french/some other mental disorder (having one disorder means you have a strong possibility of having others, they're all extremely tied into each other, including gender dysphoria) which are things that cause you to be significantly more likely to spend a majority of your time on the internet and on obscure/nerdy/highly derived forums for various complicated and straightforward reasons.
being a social outcast also may push people towards corners of the internet, and trans people are often social outcasts even if they don't have some other disability causing them to be (especially those from more rural/more conservative or religious areas)

There's dozens of us, I swear! I know a few more too! I also load it on to hardware I upcycle for charity and I know a few went to women. :) Everyone can get comfortable with Mint. It's easier than Windows these days.
I knew one once, but she was borderline abused into it by her boyfriend. The same guy made me a linux user. He is quite succesful at that, if only he knew how to take a shower.

Straight woman using linux is pure fiction, i mean, if nerds will see one in real life, she'll have to fight them off like in world war z
I pass for normal sometimes
Now you're just confusing cause and effect. Your life doesn't need to be Linux because of some external event that sucks, it's because of Linux that your life sucks.
Linux and FOSS are some of the nicest things on earth. If Linux or other FOSS didn't exist my life would would be worse.

The only one stopping you from having human connections is you. You're your own barrier to happiness.
Eh, it takes more than that to be royalty dancing at a ball
happiness and royalty are not the same thing.
They're not, so you shouldn't be jealous of the glamour on the screen

Have nerdy gf, can only recommend.
You want to make entire lemmy envy you?
Lol. The first thing I ever asked her was "PC or console?" She replied "PC". The rest is history.
Every once I a while she asks me what would have happened if she answered "Console" and obviously I reply "We wouldn't be together!"
Ona serious note, it was something I promised myself, that I would only be with a woman who was into gaming. I wouldn't even consider someone who didn't share it as a hobby.
Previous relationships had shown me how important it was.
Had similar thoughts myself working in a computer store, hearing guys say things like "My wife would never let me..."
Source?
Here: https://kernel.org/
Technically the truth
Good one, but I meant the comic/manga.
I looked at kernel source code enough as a gentoo user
