    Me too, I had a non-gendered nickname based on my dead name, and was going to just have my middle chosen name be a lovely name that fit that nickname. But then I decided I hated the nickname and got sour on the idea of “making it easy” for my parents to dead name me in their heart, while using a chosen name.

    Ended up not having a middle name, which is cool because I get to “legally attest” to not having a middle name sometimes which I thought was interesting.

    why does every trans meme assume we change our name to just the other gendered version of our dead names lol. It’s a trope at this point, but speaking as a trans woman that would be dysphoric af.

    I guess, to be fair, I actually considered making my middle name similar to my dead name as a way out for my parents from the “it’s just hard for us” but I realized I hated that idea and screw them if they think respecting me is too hard for them.

    Edit: btw 2 years post come out and my dad finally used my chosen name for the first time. They can change, though my dad keeps misgendering, which shows me his heart isn’t in the right place. He’s thinking “appease” me as in his heart I’m still a guy, even though he definitely glanced at my chest… guh





  • To provide some additional anecdotes to support jul’s comment. I’ve personally been experiencing better performance than windows even with nvidia. Though it does vary per game, with the occasional workaround especially when going outside the realm of plug and play to mod games.

    I’d say most games are great, the “10% low” games are still good, and the “1% lows” where things just don’t work are pretty rare but sometimes there is a fix. Proton.db is a good resource for those instances.

    And being honest… windows has those moments too, people just ignore them because windows is the ubiquitous gaming OS.

    It’s a lot better than when I had last “tried” and it may be more impactful to bring up that this time I haven’t gone back even once, and I actually went ahead and pulled the plug on my windows partition.

    Linux is just better now, there’s one thing windows had but I gave it up. Linux is just better for most things now and to make that win even better… windows has increasingly been becoming worse than itself.
