What's a good Linux distro for someone that's never used it before?
I'm moderately computer literate and mostly use my PC for web browsing, vidya, and occasionally programming

I tried Ubuntu for a while a few years ago. I hope you can manage cuz mine couldn't play videos and the guides they write for Linux users assume you're a computer nerd when I despise computers.

Does anyone here likes birdwatching?

OpenSUSE.
+ Well supported, well maintained, large corporate base - you don't want to start out on a distro that isn't used by professionals in the workplace, and SUSE is the oldest Linux corporation in the world.
+ YAST is the closest you're going to get to an equivalent to Mac OS Preferences or the Windows Control Center in a graphical Linux environment, and it runs and can be used to manage your software in text mode through a terminal/TTY login in the event that something goes catastrophically wrong with the graphics environment without requiring you to learn every name for every controls command or kernel module. So if you can only start in textonly safemode and need to connect to the internet you can just enter yast, follow a few simple menus to get to networking controls, and enable networking in order to download whatever is necessary to fix the system.
+ easy install
+ Lizard mascot
+ RPMs
+ huge library of games in repo - people use the suse build services even if they don't use sue itself.
+ an officially supported distro for NVIDIA and other large manufacturers who make Linux drivers.
+ an actually useful wiki that describes problems that real people have in real life with real examples and solutions.
+ officially supports an ARM/embedded variant, will not die if/when x86 desktop loses ground to newer or different technology.

Negatives:
- German. (This used to make the distro nearly unusable due to their Erlangen.DE repo servers lacking a North American mirror–they have mirrors now and had them for years but the reputation is still impacted).
- Poor audio support on ARM devices, if you're running a raspberry pi just use raspian.

cute hobby

I've drawn terf Kuromi, hope it's okay to post here.
Should I draw more?

i’m in the same boat, it’s so hard to unwind and enjoy my womanchild activities when it always feels like i’m being watched by HR thanks to the TIFs.

>>302210
she’s so cute, !! i’d like to see more, are you sticking to sanrio or will you be doing cute characters in general?

>>302224
>>302202
I wanted to stick to Sanrio characters for now since they're simple to draw, but maybe I'll be willing to accept more cute suggestions in the future!

Here's another one ^^

why can't there be an online discussion without a troon being like, "ermmm ackshually I'm trans" when it has no relevance to the discussion at hand.

Filet o fish is the closest thing to fish tacos.

tell me you're a troon without etc.

yes, you should be dipping them in peanut butter

>>302041
I don't like peanut butter

Yes, I've never heard of dipping fruit in ranch dressing.

I like apple slices with cheddar cheese.

It may be weird but eat whatever you like. What do you like about the apple and ranch together? It's such a different combination.

>>302059
Apples and cheese are fucking amazing together


>>302059

>>302085
I like the ranch flavor mixed with the tart flavor of green apple slices

I was absolutely obsessed with it i childhood. I recently got into paleontology, so obsession is coming back! Have you heard about recent discovery of homotherium cub?

kewl

I found an adult friend group, but have the advantage of being part of a minority and being in university.
Otherwise, joining interest groups (eg. Art, particular crafts, music, book clubs, cosplay, etc.) may help you.

>>224919
I tried a few meet up / hobby
groups, unfortunately I stuck out like a sore thumb because all of the other women who attended were in their 40s and I'm 23.
>>224922
I might try some crafting / art groups. I've looked at facebook photos of some group meetups I want to go to to see whether the people are actually in my age range but it does make me feel like a bit of a creep ngl

bump

My mom made friends joining an adult women's soccer league.

This is retarded, only a terminally online discord tranny would laugh at this, or maybe a young person trying to fit in with terminally online discord trannies

i adore dancing to old j-pop and k-pop songs looking up the title + dance mirror on youtube. they're very fun and make me feel like i'm in a girl group. plus, it's good physical exercise

Took classes in a lot of different genres up until puberty but didn't enjoy it due to being unathletic and shy. Honestly I think I'd be more willing to start again now with a new mindset about it, I used to like flamenco.

ive always wanted to learn to dance but i always feel so shy and awkward dancing, especially in front of people. it looks so fun tho

I've danced pretty much my whole life. I've done tap, ballet, hiphop, jazz, locking, kpop, and ballroom, but nothing has stolen my heart like pole dancing. I started about half a year ago and I fell in love. Feels completely different to any other dance I've done and it's the most fun I have nowadays. I'm not comfortable being sexy but I'm light and strong and I love climbing and pulling off dynamic maneuvers. It's my least skilled genre of dance (duh, I just started), but by far the only one I've felt so strongly for. Every one should try dancing once in their life :P

I dance to electronic music in my room (trance, psytrance, arena, house, drum and bass) and it's honestly one of the most cathartic things in my life, alongside going to the gym. Anything that gets your body moving is good for your soul in a sedentary age. Also there's this way some women dance to psytrance and goa where they really use their booty to get low and shake around. It's something I want to get into, but I'm self-conscious about my butt.

Actually, now that I say that, go to church full of hypocrites. Go see how people abuse each other and then hide the crimes from the public in order to save face for their little empire of vanity. It actually does wonders for faith.

it honestly makes me cringe but ill always support women's weird hobbies. i'm confused when it's presented as a healthy alternative to male religion since they constantly harp on about divine sacred femininity, sex magick or whatever. it's still a fun subject to study, just not as much as more established faiths since there is less material (centuries-long autistic debates about the meaning of x or y).

or C you experience and meditate on it through art or craft.

God isn't merely invisible. God is right before your eyes, but obscured by the tendency to label things using thought. If you sit and notice that the apple in front of you has the word "apple" attached to it, but that the word "apple" and the actual apple are different things, you will get closer to what I'm talking about. I suggest you try this immediately with an object in your environment rather than leaving it as a thought experiment, since I am typing it for you as words on a website and that can be misleading.

anon this is something I would have said when I was anorexic are you ok

>>302022
Nono they're onto something. For me putting bbq sauce on cucumbers makes it taste like a Subway sandwich.
