Why does the mouse look like it had blot flies breed apon it?
I like to breed things okay
I think that's to prevent sweaty hands by allowing air to flow through the mouse and past your hand.
You do not want to see an old-school greybeard dressing like this.
You might think you do when you first imagine the concept, but no, you really don't.
Source: Am at the very least greybeard adjacent.
That's funny because seeing that meme, I thought how interesting it was that the "hardcoreness" of a Linux user went from being measured by the length of the greybeard to the height of the programming socks.
Although, I guess back then, the distros mentioned would probably have been revolving around Gentoo, void, slackware, and Linux from scratch. So I suppose greybeards don't necessarily need the high socks.
Damn shame if you ask me.
Well, you haven’t seen what’s under the skirt

Speak for yourself.
Windows
BTW I dream of staying in Mint. Naah.
Windows
This, but with only four toes, all the same size.
my nixOS didn't come with thigh highs
Bazzite/SteamOS:
I'm a mint guy and cis, but I wear my socks at more of an ubuntu level. Is it because I also like functional programming?
Shout out to all the cool trans geeks, though.
as a mint user you can pry my thigh highs from my cold dead hands
Why are you wearing them on your hands?
If they're made for hands, they are gloves.
It's only a matter of time until you match that meme and there's only one alternative.
~arch~ ~btw...~
The diagram very clearly shows there's another Alternative...

openSUSE
Nah, ubuntus definitely the ankle socks
Like, yes and no.
For people who are somewhat familiar with Linux, Ubuntu is certainty recognised as being about as mainstream as any distro is able to be, and a safe haven for Linux noobs for decades.
In recent years however it's Mint which has for whatever reason been constantly recommended as a go-to distro for people fleeing the evils of Windows, ramping up especially with the discontinuation of Windows 10.
So right now, Mint might be more of a beginner distro than even Ubuntu.
Mint which has for whatever reason been constantly recommended as a go-to distro
I can bring my anecdote to the table:
I was able to mess up my initial ubuntu install so bad, that any time I deleted a file, the system thought I threw out that piece of drive with it. Maybe I reigned back on my careless 'sudoing', but Mint was able to take me all the way to the Arch variants without breaking.
Now I just do whatever Endeavour tells me. Next step will be to start messing properly with Arch (and kin), and see what all the fuss is about around FOSS.
I'm using mint in fluffy warm house socks. In my defense, I'm using Mint because I may have to install a super user-friendly linux on the old computers of two boomer family members who are using win 11 and macOS respectively.
I need to make sure I know it really well and can do whatever tech support I need to do. And lock it down for them.
But I'm also digging it. Especially since it's not Weyland, I've been able to lock all the inputs and still watch movies
Edit: to protect from my cat, who just knocked my phone out of my hand and butt submitted this before I was ready. Now to clean my screen

LMDE user, trans woman, and I never wear clothes at home, including socks. Prisons of the flesh I say!
However, this chart does accurately show how high my Doc Martens are.
Or is just fantasy?

Are Crocs with socks Gentoo?
A handful of my co-workers are Gentoo loyalists, and they wear CwS year-round. Contrary to the stereotype of CwS being the strongest possible birth control, these dudes are beating back the female suitors with a stick.

There’s a weird horseshoe effect, where you stop giving a fuck what others think of you so hard that it loops back around to being attractive again. It’s a confidence thing. Genuinely not caring what others think usually requires a lot of self-worth and confidence.
Source: Regularly rock the CwS, am happily married. Don’t even need to beat back female suitors, because the wife is a hot bisexual goth witch who regularly brings home other women for us to bed.
