Would you say that Windows is cis and Linux is trans?
Seems to fit. The Apple apple in the logo was rainbow-striped between 1977 and 1998.
The colours were in the order 432165 though, so an argument otherwise might be possible. Is it possible to be agy or bselnai?
(And why does that read like Hungarian? I looked it up. “agy” means “brain”. this is a deep conspiracy! ~is dragged off screaming~)
No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.

errm, ackshually, as you said, windows and linux are both operating systems. therefore, they’re actually software, not hardware 🤓
Prolly just another person who doesn’t care what ya do but thinks this entire gender debacle absolutely moronic
Linux is
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

one of these days i need to get on tumblr, seems like a funny site.
I… don’t get it. Is this a reference to distros?
BTW, TIL learned more pronouns.
Some people give options when sharing their pronouns. For example a non-binary person could use both “he/him/his” and “they/them/theirs” pronouns. - https://www.diversitycenterneo.org/about-us/pronouns/
