I’m an imposter. I run Win11 because work and home needs require some Windows only software. I do run Linux servers and i use WSL. So that one person I know isn’t me.
shitposting aside, I have win 10 installed on an ssd in my main rig, but i haven’t seriously booted it in years by now. I’m in the process of eventually “decommissioning” it, so i put it into an old thinkpad i have lying around.
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.
Plenty of trans folks go harder on gender expression online because they have difficulties to do so IRL, even if being female presenting tends to result in more issues.
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.
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.
Yes
To be clear, there are straight trans women
Oh

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

WSL doesn’t count

Does my grandma count?
My mother did for many years and she was a great-grandmother.
