My Middle Child sent me this, and I liked the analogy so I'm re-sharing here:

#LGBTQIA #LGBT #2SLGBTQIA #Asexual #AceWeek

Asexual Attraction
*Pie = sex/sexual attraction

Allosexual
"I want pie."

Asexual
"I don't want pie" ***I might eat it or enjoy it, though."

Demisexual
“I don't usually want pie, unless it's a pie I've had before or know a lot about."

Fraysexual
“I want pie when I first see it, but the longer I look at if, the less I actually want it. Eventually, I don't want it."

Cupiosexual
“I don't want pie, but I want to and enjoy eating it."

Graysexual/ Gray-Asexual
“I almost never want pie. There may only be one or two pies I ever want in my lifetime."

Apothisexual
“I don't want pie and I never want to eat it. I don't like it at all."

Akoi/Litho sexual
"I want pie sometimes, but I don't ever want to eat it."

The author talks in detail about shifting your mindset in order to get the most out of Linux.

Tips suck as:

- Comfort zones keep users tied to what’s familiar, even if it’s not ideal.
- Linux requires openness, curiosity, and willingness to learn.

#OpenSource #Linux

The Only Thing Stopping You from Switching to Linux Is Your Mindset

Switching to Linux is less about technical hurdles and more about adjusting your mindset. Here's why.
