  • I was in the closet for only a month after my egg cracked. And I came out to the family member I was most worried about first. I came out to my possibly transphobic kinda catholic mum before I came out to my best friend. (Actually, I have trans friends I’m still not out to but that’s a different story). I wasn’t wrong to be worried, my mum hated my name, insisted there were no signs and tried to get me to talk to her friend’s detransitioner girlfriend about it.

    But I got to wear whatever clothes I wanted right out the gate. I didn’t exactly get any compliments about it but at least I didn’t have to hide. I looked like a man in a dress, or a best a boy in one. But at least I got to imagine a future where I could be me


    • Fedora makes very minimal changes to downstream. The gnome experience on fedora is the experience the devs intended, for better or worse.
    • It often experiments with new technologies. It was the first to ship pulseaudio out of box. And then again for pipewire. And if it wasn’t the first to install wayland by default, it probably was the first to stop shipping XOrg out of box.
    • It doesn’t install snaps instead of native packages when you run rpm install
    • It’s also Linus Torvald’s distro of choice if that’s worth anything
