   @hermlon @sigmasternchen if you group the results for FOSS operating systems, you get the same 50/50 split between cis and trans people as with the proprietary systems. this is not really surprising. there’s nothing so fundamentally different about trans and cis people that we’d see a clear distinction here.
   
   as for the slight trans bias we see with NixOS and Arch, i’d attribute that to the fact that many trans people (trans women in particular) end up with computers as surrogate parents/friends during childhood, and are consequently more likely to spend a lot of time tinkering with operating systems and programming. and these two distros definitely cater to that.

     @sigmasternchen casual reminder to only interpret the results of this poll after dividing by the total number of trans / cis people that participated respectively. As an example NixOS-trans could appear lower in the poll than NixOS-cis, just because more cis people participated, although the percentage of trans people using NixOS might actually be higher that the percentage of cis people using NixOS.
