What I will say is that as a mostly-casual user on a new 2-in-1 convertible laptop, Windows 11 has been entirely fine, if not downright pleasant. Sure, the start menu and the taskbar aren't as customizable as I'd like, but that's really my only complaint. It just feels like a much more polished version of Windows 10.

But also I imagine that when you get further away from the ideal target of a brand new laptop/tablet, Windows 11 starts to suck a bit more. But as far as being able to program or make art or whatever on this, it's fine. I honestly think I prefer it over 10, even. And certainly I prefer it over Linux. I tried that a few times and I really just don't have the patience for it anymore.

Of course now that I'm here I'm starting to have doubts as to whether or not I'm binary female. Frankly it sorta feels like I fluctuate between female and agender? Like, some days (today for instance) I'd be all over wearing a dress and painting my nails and using she/her pronouns and all of that because it feels so good and validating. And yet other days all of that just seems like too much and she/her pronouns and words like "lady" or "woman" don't feel like they quiiiiite fit and I'd rather just wear a T-shirt and jeans and forget about this whole gender nonsense. And I'm wondering if that's a non-binary thing, or if that's internalized transphobia, or societal pressure, disagreement with cultural expectations, etc. etc. Am I a demigirl, a tomboy, just a woman, what?

So. It turns out plurality is a thing. I totally did not see that coming.

I would have just said genderfluid, that's more or less what i consider myself and I'm mostly just like that. Seems you found something that works for you, happy to see that. Though I do sometimes wonder about those other options...

See, that's what I initially thought too. And then I realized that those different "moods" were very adamant about having their own sona and names and fashion styles and interests and memories, and they felt radically distinct from one another. And of course there's the conversations/arguments I have in my head with what seemed to be another entity, which just happened to be the sona/mood I wasn't currently identifying with.

It's actually been like that for a while, but I didn't really know what plurality was, so I just assumed I was moody and inconsistent. I'd often get upset that one headmate wasn't acting like the other, not understanding that they were separate headmates.

It's all kinda wack but there ya go, I guess. A surprising amount of my friends have come out as plural lately, so it must be relatively common? I stopped questioning these things a whole ago. Hit up https://morethanone.info or https://pluralpedia.org for more info, if you need it.
