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

Afterwards you will be running a 63bit system. I challenge you to find the others.

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.

internet speeds are measured in bits so they can artificially inflate numbers.

cause selling 100mbit sounds a lot meatier than selling 12mbyte.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

100 milibits lmao

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

No you have to use Manjaro, it's Arch for the rest of us

im he/they and i dualboot so this checks out

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

He/They and I also dual boot. But I have reproduced so I must have broken something. ~~Just like my Linux bootloader T~T~~

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago

Kinda, pretty much all complete PCs you buy are assigned windows at sale

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

New acronym just dropped (AWAS)

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

^ Found the real Linux user.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

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

Hey, no insulting gays!

Seems to fit. The Apple apple in the logo was rainbow-striped between 1977 and 1998.

The colours were in the order 432165 though, so an argument otherwise might be possible. Is it possible to be agy or bselnai?

(And why does that read like Hungarian? I looked it up. "agy" means "brain". this is a deep conspiracy! ~is dragged off screaming~)

Mac is when you're still small and don't have a concept of gender

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?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have a number of IRL friends who daily drive Linux and we all at least have some small partition or drive installed with Windows on it just in case for that one program. I haven't used it in over half a year and it was for some Need For Speed Underground 2 mod making tool that I used once and never needed again.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

BTW, TIL learned more pronouns.

Some people give options when sharing their pronouns. For example a non-binary person could use both “he/him/his” and “they/them/theirs” pronouns. - https://www.diversitycenterneo.org/about-us/pronouns/
