    I think this depends on context. I live in Sweden, so a non-slavic country, and I have known multiple women with -ski suffixes. Some from marriages or being born in Sweden and just getting ski automatically, but I had a teacher from Poland who has the masculine ending.

    So I think if you’re in a country where last names are typically gendered, then sure, it can help to have a last name that is congruent with your identity. If you’re in a country where that is not the norm, I think it’s fine either way.

    In any case, it’s her name and her choice.



  • Yeah, I get that. I was daily driving Guix for quite a long time and really enjoyed it. As I understand it shares a lot of code with Nix. It’s just been a bit hard to integrate with a lot of the software I run due to it not being compatible with the traditional filesystem hierarchy. This is obviously a selling point for Nix/Guix as it frees it to try new ideas, but makes it harder for me to run my music production software for example, which I can’t run in flatpak officially and since it Just Works™ on Debian, I’m happy with it. Maybe I’ll get into it sometime again as the community seems to have grown a lot, and I’ve looked into running Nix on top of my Debian install.
