LL Sisters Thread

Yes you can see it and try it if you want tomorrow, it had a new hard drive before coming here, as I wrote it's just a regular computer. I have been looking for a new back up computer for some time, as my current back up one is 32bit, so I may get one similar to this, it comes with Ubuntu preinstalled, which I will want to change to LL 4 series, so I'm just having a look etc.
No I don't worry it is my partner.

Hi [member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] !

I just noticed this thread and thought: This is great! This addresses something important. Yes, all people need to see themselves represented in a community, in an area of interest, and see themselves being included and treated respectfully. And as a white, straight male, I need to be active in promoting it and participating in it.

I don't spend a ton of time on forums, and I haven't seen this before, so I apologize if I cover old territory.

Some things I wonder: How did you discover Linux, the whole world of alternative OSes, and become a user? And are there things you notice in the design of an operating system or a desktop environment (like Linux Lite, or others) that 'assumes maleness,' that you wish were more considerate of non-male users?

Thank you for offering to share your experiences with us!

Hello [member=5059]whateverthing[/member] ,

I had a teacher for windows, as before this I didn't like computers at all and hadn't used them, a friend of my eldest brother, he used Linux, he taught me how to use a computer with windows, he used on his computers Red Hat, SUSE, and Mandrake.

So I started looking in to Linux, out of Linux Lite and Linux Mint, on the Mint d/l it had too many types and also DE, I didn't know what they were, it confused me a lot. Linux Lite it was then.

Yes there are parts in Linux Lite that are more aimed at males, but these things do not bother me.

I make my own distributions and have been normally on Slackware based stuff. I am learning Ubuntu stuff as I go along. Learning a new distribution is a challenge for anyone.


My question is, what parts (knowing each distribution is different) do you consider more aimed at males? This information would help me and probably any other developer. Another question, is it programs or themes that are effecting a sort of negative attitude? Any criticism is constructive.

Hello [member=6935]supergamer[/member] ,
I think some aspects of themes, the lines are more masculine on some wallpapers, and some icons such as Appearance and About use male images rather than just images, like the Users and Groups icon does.
None of these things give me a negative attitude or feeling.
Edit -
Development icon too, I had forgotten this one.

I heard about Linux, the whole world of alternative OSes, hacking, making, from childrens stories, they added these in to stories under different names. When I grew older I asked if they were about Linux. Later I was behind the wall, I remembered some or changed them. Stories of freedom, and some rage stories about the establishment and system at the start, these ideas changed over time.
Later I was asked to join a project, one of the tasks they set me was to encourage others from my community to join. There I seen Linux Lite. My first thoughts. This is what freedom looks like. I am home.

When changing About at the top of menu it changes the login box image, it could be nicer if it also changed the About icon in ALL category of the menu.

[member=8093]Shanti[/member] [member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] Thank you both for the responses you gave.

[member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] I'm glad to hear Linux has helped you find a fresh start! I hope you keep being successful in that.

You named some icons (Appearance, About, Groups). Are you using LL 3-series? I'm looking at LL 4-series so the icons are different. I'm curious, because I designed some of the Lite-app icons in series 4.

[member=8093]Shanti[/member] Your comment about children's stories surprised me. You heard stories when you were young about using computers? With details about the operating systems? I would like to hear more about that.

Thank you again!
